Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Wang Xing listened attentively and nodded vigorously.

Qin Lu then went on and on about a whole bunch of things.

For example, how to win people's hearts, how to divide the territory, how to set rules, and how to exchange resources for crystal cores.

She spoke quickly but clearly. Wang Xing listened and took notes, occasionally interjecting with a question, and his mind slowly began to catch up.

After Qin Lu finished speaking, Wang Xing took a deep breath and bowed deeply to her: "Don't worry, Sister Lu, I know what to do."

Qin Lu looked at the man who was clearly older than her, waved her hand, and didn't bother to correct his form of address.

Wang Xing was about to set off when he realized he had no idea where to begin.

I don't have a single person around me whom I know or can rely on.

He looked at Qin Lu awkwardly: "Sister Lu, um... could I go back to where I was before and move all my old subordinates here?"

Qin Lu nodded, then turned to Ma Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, send a few people from your team to go with him."

Ma Xiaoyan responded and selected ten people to follow Wang Xing.

The group left the building and headed towards Wang Xing's small outpost.

Along the way, Wang Xing couldn't help but secretly observe the group of girls.

They were all young and good-looking, and he noticed a detail.

There didn't seem to be a single man in Lin Chen's group? He really wanted to strike up a conversation and find out more about Lin Chen's preferences, but he was afraid of saying the wrong thing. He didn't know what the relationship was between these girls and Lin Chen.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Ma Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh: "Just say what you want to say. We don't eat people, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Xing gave an awkward laugh and mustered his courage to ask, "What's your relationship with Boss Lin, ladies? Are you... Boss Lin's women?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoyan's face visibly fell: "You really know how to rub salt in the wound. We'd love to, but Brother Lin doesn't think much of us."

Wang Xing looked incredulous: "How is that possible?"

Ma Xiaoyan rolled her eyes: "Do you know how many people are in our team?"

"How many?"

"Over twelve thousand. And there wasn't a single one whose looks were inferior to ours."

Wang Xing froze on the spot.

Ma Xiaoyan kicked him: "Stop spacing out, let's go!"

Wang Xing then came to his senses and continued leading the way.

After walking for a while, he couldn't help but ask again, "I heard from Sister Lu that you're going to stay and help me manage this place? But I counted, there are only about a hundred people in total..."

Ma Xiaoyan gave him a meaningful look: "Do you know what our strength is?"

Wang Xing shook his head, his eyes full of curiosity.

Ma Xiaoyan proudly pointed to the nine girls behind her: "They are all S-rank." Then she gave herself a thumbs up, "Me, SS-rank."

Wang Xing's mouth slowly widened. SS-class? Never heard of that. And all of them are S-class? Am I hallucinating?

To everyone's surprise, Ma Xiaoyan continued, "In our team, there are already over ten thousand S-rank members and nearly a hundred SS-rank members. And we're getting stronger every day."

Ma Xiaoyan patted him on the shoulder, "So, just go for it. As long as you do what Brother Lin asked you to do well, you won't be treated unfairly."

Wang Xing was completely unable to move.

He thought the scene he had just witnessed in the basement was already incredibly shocking, but little did he know that it was just the tip of the iceberg.

Wang Xing's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

This time, it seems I've really latched onto an unprecedentedly powerful patron.

Ma Xiaoyan urged him several times with dissatisfaction before he finally suppressed his excitement and continued leading the way.

Along the way, he dared not ask any more questions, afraid that if he heard any more shocking news, his little heart would not be able to take it.

An hour later, the group finally arrived at Wang Xing's small outpost.

As soon as he stepped inside, more than twenty people rushed out, men, women, young and old, surrounding him and chattering away.

"Boss, how are you? Are you alright?"

"Did the Xie family give you any trouble?"

"It's good that you're back safe and sound, it's good that you're back safe and sound..."

Ma Xiaoyan looked at this scene with some surprise. This person has good interpersonal relationships and prestige; no wonder Brother Lin would take a liking to him.

Wang Xing smiled and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, his voice brimming with barely suppressed pride: "Of course it's fine. Besides..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the tense yet expectant faces. "Boss Lin has taken over the Xie family's territory. From now on, that place will be ours too."

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into cheers. Some people patted his shoulder hard, while others' eyes lit up.

You should know that Xie's territory is much better than theirs. It's deep underground, and the temperature is much warmer than their surface stronghold.

Surrounded by them, Wang Xing grinned from ear to ear. But he was perfectly clear in his mind that he would cling to Lin Chen's coattails for the rest of his life.

The group then began packing their belongings, preparing to move with Wang Xing.

When they learned that Ma Xiaoyan and the others were all S-class superhumans who had come specifically to protect them, everyone felt both awe and a strong sense of security.

A dozen minutes later, one of his underlings reported to Wang Xing: "Brother Xing, we're all packed up, we can set off now."

However, this was not because everyone was quick and efficient, but because their resources were meager and they had very few supplies left...

Ma Xiaoyan stared blankly at the meager supplies in the hands of these people; it was truly... pathetic.

She glanced at everyone before saying, "Let's go back then."

--------------------

More than an hour later, the group returned to the Financial City base.

As soon as Wang Xing stepped into the base, he noticed a dramatic change in the atmosphere. All the survivors were looking at them with awe and reverence.

When everyone returned to the underground plaza, it had already been cleaned up. The Xie siblings were tightly bound to a cement pillar, unable to move.

Wang Xing handed the supplies to his henchman and walked straight toward Qin Lu.

Qin Lu glanced at him indifferently: "You're back?"

Wang Xing quickly bowed and nodded: "Yes, thank you for your concern, Sister Lu."

Qin Lu nodded and calmly pointed to the people around her, saying, "The remaining ability users in the base are all here. You'll handle the follow-up matters. I'm going to rest now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched lazily, her perfect figure and alluring curves outlined perfectly beneath her clothes.

But none of those present dared to look even a fraction of an inch.

Wang Xing nodded heavily, his eyes clear; he dared not have the slightest distracting thought.

Qin Lu smiled slightly, then casually found a clean room and closed her eyes to rest.

Wang Xing understood that this was a test from the other party.

If this matter is handled properly, he will be given more important responsibilities in the future, and the benefits will naturally come one after another; but if there is any mishap, he may not have the opportunity to be given important responsibilities again.

Wang Xing turned around and looked at the superhumans around him, then at the girls around him who were all S-rank or above. These were now his backers.

Thinking of this, a surge of heroic spirit welled up in my heart.
