105: Chapter 105 The Bounty Has Increased Again

Gu Han started at zero frames, casting [Forced Breeding] on this group of transcendent Fish-men.

An invisible force of rules instantly enveloped that churning sea area.

The Fish-man army, which had been roaring as they charged a second ago, collectively froze the next.

The level-eight Fish-man leader, who had been charging at the front, turned around and pounced on a level-seven Fish-man nearby.

The entire invading army instantly turned into a game of Connect-the-Dots, with flashes of white light across the sea surface, filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Only then did Gu Han heave a slight sigh of relief.

He scanned them with his smart assistant and discovered they indeed possessed the transcendent trait [Cannot Be Hit].

It seemed Gu Han's skill didn't count as a combat skill, so it was still effective against them. He had already prepared to talk money with the opponent directly if it failed.

He carefully circled around this large group of Fish-men.

What a pity, the opponent's God-Lord consciousness didn't follow. This showed the opponent was very cautious, only letting believers come in to probe.

If the opponent's God-Lord had come over, he would have been able to inherit another large fortune.

However, since these Fish-men had come, Gu Han naturally wouldn't waste them.

With a thought, the ground beneath the rift began to tremble violently, then collapsed with a boom, forming a massive abyss pit with an area of over a hundred square kilometers.

The seawater pouring in found an outlet, rushing madly along the edges into the large pit.

He had been worried that his Divine Kingdom lacked an aquatic environment; now it was perfect—the opponent not only sent soldiers but also provided the terrain.

These Fish-men could also leave behind some offspring to enrich the Divine Kingdom's species database.

Just then, the rift in mid-air suddenly began to twist violently.

The God-Lord on the other side clearly realized that the dispatched believers had collectively lost contact, so they decisively cut off the Divine Kingdom channel.

The rift closed rapidly, and the seawater stopped pouring in.

Gu Han looked at the small sea area that had formed below, and then at the Fish-men in the sea, who were still breeding tirelessly.

He opened the shop and, familiar with the process, bought a D-rank divine building, [brain storage].

He placed it right next to the sea area, setting the target to: Fish-men.

The value of this thing was getting higher and higher, and Gu Han was using it with increasing proficiency.

As long as it was activated, IQ would slowly drop, and after closing it, it could slowly recover.

In the future, if he invaded someone else's Divine Kingdom, he would also have to create a channel to flood them with seawater and Fish-men.

Having a terrain advantage was really great; if he encountered those who couldn't swim, it would be almost bloodless.

If he could cultivate transcendent traits in these Fish-man offspring, and they remained unaffected by combat-type God-Lord skills, they would be an absolute weapon for invasion.

After dealing with the Fish-men, Gu Han exited the Divine Kingdom and immediately logged onto the forum.

He clicked directly into the bounty section and saw the pinned post at a glance.

Sure enough, the bounty amount had risen again.

[Codename: Jiangcheng Loan King]

[Total Debt: 19 billion credit points.]

[Bounty Amount: 8 billion credit points! (Requirement: Break through their Divine Kingdom, preserve the Divine Kingdom Core for handover)]

[Note: Target's identity unknown; the bounty provider only offers the approximate coordinate range of the Divine Kingdom. They are not responsible for anything else, and participants bear their own risks. Estimated strength: Suspected to be above Demigod level, immune to poison and electricity, fearless of the ocean.]

These people were indeed efficient; their methods were being upgraded every time.

The opponent wasn't stupid either; having lost so many troops, they must have guessed his abilities were special and were trying different ways to probe him.

"19 billion in debt..." Gu Han looked at this number.

The key was that he hadn't even received this money! But that didn't stop others from pinning this bad debt on him.

At this rate, maybe one day in the future, a god would personally come down to deliver a meal.

Before that, he had to raise the overall strength of his Divine Kingdom to be able to handle this "feeding."

He didn't want the Divine Source to be right in front of him, only for him to lack the ability to take it.

Meanwhile, the mineral veins in the Cyst Demon Divine Kingdom had been completely mined out, and the Ant-man Race living there had all returned to their homeland.

The ordinary Cyst Demons at the bottom had completely died out.

In the central area of the Divine Kingdom, only a few remaining poisonous forests were left, surrounded and slowly being devoured by the growing Cyst Demon Potato.

And on the outskirts of the poisonous forest, thousands of white Cyst Demons were engaged in fierce armed combat.

These white Cyst Demons were the result of the mutation caused by the Mushroom Person spores that Gu Han had accidentally brought over.

They inherited the Cyst Demons' habit of armed combat, even turning it into a daily activity, which greatly accelerated the extinction of the bottom-tier Cyst Demons.

This long-planned reverse invasion was finally coming to an end, waiting only for the Cyst Demon race to continue losing intelligence and for those transcendent internal fights to leave only one level-nine Cyst Demon in the end.

That would be the moment for Gu Han to strike.

...

Jinghai City.

Inside a towering technology accelerator building, the atmosphere in the top-floor conference room was extremely oppressive.

"Bam!"

President Du Fanghai slammed a thick stack of reports onto the conference table, and the papers scattered and slid far away.

In front of the conference table, more than a dozen researchers in white lab coats all hunched their necks, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Is this what you show me?" President Du Fanghai pointed at the scattered reports on the table and cursed, "I've been in Jinghai for so many years, I've spent so much money, and you can't even figure out a substitute version of a divine plant? Did you buy your master's degrees?!"

The middle-aged man in the white coat leading them wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and bowed awkwardly.

"Boss, it's really not that we aren't trying our best..." He swallowed hard and mustered the courage to explain, "We've analyzed this substitute divine plant with various instruments, and it completely violates normal biological principles! This was definitely forcefully created by some high-level God-Lord using an exclusive skill; there's simply no way to cultivate it independently!"

"No way?" President Du Fanghai laughed in anger, "Then are your God-Lord skills useless? I've built the top-tier technology Divine Kingdoms for each of you, expecting you to produce some results. And what about you? The Divine Kingdoms are failures, and reality is a mess! And you call yourselves academic experts? A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

He got angrier as he spoke, pointing at the park outside the floor-to-ceiling windows: "Every day you just tinker with a few broken hybrid machines, repeatedly updating and iterating, living off the company's past glory! Now everyone on the market is scrambling for those substitute plants, and our divine plant sales are plummeting! If this goes on, the company will sooner or later be dragged down by you bunch of useless people!"

The office was so quiet that only President Du Fanghai's heavy breathing could be heard.

After a long while, President Du Fanghai loosened his tie, sat back in his leather chair, and his tone calmed down: "Alright, stop being an eyesore here. This time I've invested in a genius in Jiangcheng who is extremely talented in animal hybridization. When he arrives, I hope you can go all out and produce results!"
