Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 742 The Working Class Takes Position (6K)

"Have you explained it to that little girl?"

Inside the undead demiplane, Huo Yuhao was toying with a piece of rare metal in his hand, looking at Nana who was coming over to report the situation.

Nana was completely convinced by Huo Yuhao's arrangements. Seeing the soul tools and rare metals that were almost impossible to measure in specific numbers, her admiration for Huo Yuhao reached a new level.

"It's all explained. With Elder Qian, the High Priest of the Spirit Hall, vouching for her, even though she's in the undead demiplane, that little girl is like she's found her pillar of support. She's clinging to Elder Qian and won't leave, like a little shadow."

Nana said with a smile.

Of course, compared to Ye Guyi, Chen An was the one who was even more confused.

He originally thought he understood Huo Yuhao very well and sincerely wanted to settle down and work with Huo Yuhao, but what happened in those few minutes really challenged Chen An's nerves.

He hasn't figured out the situation yet.

Huo Yuhao called him over from among a group of evil soul masters and pulled him directly into the undead demiplane.

Chen An looked around in astonishment, observing Ye Guyi, who should have died without a trace but was now completely unharmed. She was excitedly following behind an old man in gray clothes, nodding incessantly like a chicken pecking at rice no matter what the old man said.

Chen An opened her mouth wide, but after several attempts, she still couldn't utter a word.

At this moment, Chen An appeared extremely flustered, not at all like a seasoned veteran who had been in the Xi Shui Alliance for many years, but rather like a nervous primary school student going to school independently for the first time.

"Let's go check on these two guys."

Huo Yuhao had already removed his disguise and revealed his true appearance. Before long, he and Nana arrived at another base.

"Young Master Tian?"

When Chen An saw Nana and the familiar figure beside her, she instinctively called out, but then froze halfway through.

This...this isn't right, is it?

He recognized that face!

Or rather, there shouldn't be anyone in the entire Mingdu City who doesn't know him, right?

Although he had only made a few moves, as one of the most mysterious and powerful people in this competition, how could he not know?

Chen An's gaze was somewhat hesitant.

Now that he knows Huo Yuhao's true identity, he is very uneasy about his fate.

I'm worried that he might just chop me up with a knife, since I'm a gangster.

No, if that were the case, why would they have specifically called me here?

Just as Chen An was lost in thought and her mind was a complete mess, Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed.

"You idiot, is my real identity really that scary? Where did your usual smooth talk go?"

".ah?"

Chen An was still somewhat surprised and uncertain, and in addition to her fear, she was also confused.

As Huo Yuhao said, his usual ability to speak to people in a human way or to ghosts in a ghost way had been completely lost under this immense psychological pressure.

"Huh? What?"

Huo Yuhao clapped his hands, and Nana, with a happy expression, handed a stack of documents to Chen An.

"Good morning, Supervisor. We'll be colleagues from now on. The first page here shows your salary and benefits, and the rest is a list of your responsibilities. Thank you!"

Seeing the joy on Nana's face, Chen An suddenly had a bad feeling. His own happy retirement life might still be a long, long way off.

Trembling, I opened the document, and what came into view was the personal benefits that Nana had mentioned.

A monthly salary of 200,000 gold soul coins, an annual quota of one ten-thousand-year soul bone, and 100 jin of rare metals that are neither Class II nor Class I controlled.

Upon seeing just this one line, Chen An almost fainted.

Good heavens, working here for one year is more than he could have done for twenty years in Xishui Alliance!

Besides, the working hours, paid leave, and flexible working hours sound pretty good, but what does it mean that the prerequisite for the shift rotation is that there must be other field technicians to take over?

Hmm. This place is so big, there must be a lot of talented people here. Finding someone to switch shifts for me shouldn't be a problem.

This is why Chen An was busy looking at documents and didn't see Nana, who was so excited she was almost jumping up, or the dark circles under Nana's eyes, despite her being a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Since Chen An came along, her workload has really dropped sharply. With such a resourceful guy like Chen An around, Nana doesn't know how many brain cells she can save every day.

"I am willing to serve Young Master Huo faithfully, even unto death!"

After reviewing his job benefits, Chen An immediately closed the file and pledged his loyalty to Huo Yuhao.

Wait, what Nana just said was just a list of tasks she was responsible for?

It must have been a slip of the tongue; there couldn't possibly be that many things to be busy with.

Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction at Chen An's words.

Since he was going to use Chen An, he naturally couldn't avoid investigating the other party.

In general, this guy probably doesn't have a high status in the Xishui Alliance. He usually just does things like guarding venues and organizing auctions.

He's never actually committed murder or arson; he wouldn't have the guts to do it.

Perfect timing! Huo Yuhao desperately needed a seasoned veteran like this, someone who had been navigating both the legal and illegal worlds for years, to mentor the inexperienced newcomers.

Both Huo Yuhao and Nana had been waiting for this person for far too long, and Chen An's arrival was perfectly timed—though he didn't exactly come on his own initiative.

With a snap of his fingers, Huo Yuhao took out a soul contract and gestured for Nana to take Chen An downstairs to sign it. Only then did he look at Qian Daoliu and Ye Guyi, who was following behind Qian Daoliu like a little shadow.

"Old Qian, when it comes to scaring people, you're the real expert."

Huo Yuhao looked at Qian Daoliu and grinned. He was referring to the time when he opened the Gate of the Dead in front of five evil soul masters and swaggered away.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat comical, and said with dissatisfaction like an old rascal: "How dare you talk like that, kid? In my previous life, I was a genuine god-level expert. Although I didn't have a god-level soul ring, divine power to temper my body, or divine sense to condense, my realm was still a genuine level one hundred."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. What kind of god-level expert is this? A god without any power or influence?

Just then, Ye Guyi stood on tiptoe and raised her hand, saying, "Great Priest Qian, have you forgotten that besides these, you also lack divine status?"

Qian Daoliu's face immediately darkened. This girl was good in every way, except that she wasn't very bright and was too outspoken.

Looking at this clueless little angel who was shocked by everything, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that saving this girl didn't seem to be of much use.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem very smart.

Forget it, he is still a Soul Emperor with a top-tier martial soul. His cultivation potential and talent in soul tools are also outstanding. Let's keep him in the demiplane for now.

He's rolling in money now, so he doesn't need another mouth to feed.
