616: Demon Ye Zi'an

Looking at Gu Yu's smiling face and then back at the giant shotgun she had put away, Ye Zian couldn't help but shiver for some reason.

Even after undergoing Demon Transformation, he could still clearly feel the terrifying sense of danger emanating from Gu Yu.

Now that he had deactivated his Demon Transformation, he could no longer feel that threat from her; it had been incredibly obvious while he was in his transformed state.

Based on this, Ye Zian immediately raised Gu Yu's already maxed-out danger level up several notches in his mind!

There wasn't a single pushover in this Demon Exorcist Team!

Not even Gu Yu, who was in charge of logistics!

It seems the one handling logistics is actually the true boss!

As expected of the logistics person; if you aren't a big shot, you aren't even qualified to handle logistics, right?

But in a way, logistics itself is the real boss.

By evening, the sound of an engine signaled a large off-road vehicle driving into the underground garage.

It was Thrace and Lily returning.

"Oh! You're finally back! It took a bit longer today, huh?" Gu Yu said, watching Thrace and Lily step out of the vehicle.

"Ugh! Don't even mention it! The mission location this time was a bit far. Most of the time was wasted on the road." Thrace shook his head helplessly and said, "Though, we did encounter a low-level demon today."

Gu Yu nodded; a low-level demon was just a small fry, no different from cannon fodder.

"Wait~ something's not right... Gu Yu, do you have something to say?" Thrace suddenly felt something was off, rubbing his chin and looking at Gu Yu with a suspicious expression.

Normally, Gu Yu wouldn't say things like that.

"Huh?! Does it? ...Hahahaha! Actually, I really do." Hearing Thrace's words, Gu Yu couldn't help but scratch her head and give a silly laugh. Was she really that obvious?

"Little Ye Zi! Come here quickly!" Gu Yu called out to Ye Zian in the training area.

"Coming, coming!" Ye Zian hurriedly ran over.

"Zian... huh?" Thrace was just about to greet him when he suddenly let out a sound of surprise, looking Ye Zian up and down.

"You noticed, right?" Gu Yu said with a smile.

"I noticed... this magic power, it's quite solid! Could it be that Ye Zian is..." Thrace couldn't help but glance at Gu Yu.

"That's right! Today, Little Ye Zi suddenly had his Demon Bloodline Awakening right here in the training area." Gu Yu shrugged and said, "I didn't expect Little Ye Zi to be a Demon Human too."

"I couldn't tell at all!" Thrace looked at Ye Zian with some surprise, then stood in front of him to study him for a moment before saying, "Your magic power quality is very high. To have this much right after Awakening, it seems your Demon Bloodline rank is quite high!"

"I don't know either..." Ye Zian scratched his head. "After all, this is my first time... I don't know anything about these demon things."

"It doesn't matter. Since you've Awakened and become a Demon Human, that's a good thing! Especially as a Demon Hunter." Thrace nodded slightly and said, "And your Demon Bloodline naturally determines that you have a higher ceiling! Keep it up, young man. One day, you might surpass me."

"I'll try my best." Ye Zian said with a smile. As for his inner thoughts, he felt that surpassing Thrace was just a matter of time.

With the Cross-World Group, if he didn't even dare to think about surpassing Thrace... then he might as well just die.

Although he didn't know how strong Thrace's true power really was right now.

However, having seen all the big shots in the Cross-World Group, Ye Zian's standards were already incredibly high.

No matter how strong Thrace was, he didn't think he could be stronger than that group of big shots in the Cross-World Group.

"Alright, alright, let's go eat! I'm starving to death!" After patting Ye Zian on the shoulder, Thrace reverted to his usual devil-may-care attitude, clamoring to go get some food.

Lily walked toward the ground level with an indifferent expression.

"Little Ye Zi! Bring me a portion of food when you come back down later!" Gu Yu called out to Ye Zian.

"Okay!" Ye Zian agreed, went up with Thrace, and after finishing his meal, brought a portion down for Gu Yu.

"Sister Gu Yu, what have you been tinkering with lately?" Ye Zian was very curious. For the past few days, Gu Yu had been staying in the workshop... although she was usually like that, on normal days, it felt more like she had nowhere else to go and was just "idling" in the workshop.

But these past few days, Gu Yu had been burying herself in hard work in the workshop.

"Oh~ I'm designing a few new guns, the construction and the magic crystal integration... If I finish them, I can sell them for a lot of money again." Gu Yu said after taking the food Ye Zian brought her, then immediately started eating.

Ye Zian took a look from the side; various blueprints were just left out, and she wasn't worried about anyone seeing them.

After all, even with the blueprints, without the technical skills, one might not be able to make them.

Not to mention, Ye Zian couldn't even understand them at all.

"By the way, since you're a Demon Human, when I finish this, you can give me the firearms you have, and I'll modify them to be more suitable for a Demon Human." Gu Yu said to Ye Zian, "For example, ditching ammunition and using magic power entirely as bullets; of course, you could also equip more powerful magic bullets."

"Awesome! That's great!" Hearing Gu Yu's words, Ye Zian's eyes lit up immediately. "What about Flowing Flame? Can the blade be modified?"

"Of course, you can have all the weapons you have modified by me." Gu Yu nodded and said, "I'll just charge you a labor fee."

"Ah! You're charging for it?" Ye Zian immediately wailed.

"Even if we're in the same team, I still have to charge!" Gu Yu said, giving Ye Zian a light kick, annoyed.

"Then... how much is the labor fee?" Ye Zian asked, looking at Gu Yu pitifully.

Over these past few days, although he had completed quite a few missions and had a few million in savings.

For an ordinary person, this money was enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.

However, for a Demon Hunter, this money was just like sand in an hourglass—it could run out in the blink of an eye.

Just looking at the firearms and ammunition Gu Yu sold, one could see how expensive a Demon Hunter's expenses were.

Not to mention that Gu Yu often received "packages," which were her side jobs modifying weapons for others.

Of course, the main thing Gu Yu did was manufacture weapons to list for sale herself.

She didn't do much work modifying weapons for others.

Ye Zian had seen that there were many orders wanting Gu Yu to do the work, but Gu Yu wouldn't take them; she did it selectively.

A single labor fee started at a minimum of one million, excluding Materials and the like.

In short, modifying something once would cost at least several million to tens of millions.

That was why Ye Zian wailed the moment he heard Gu Yu mention the labor fee.

There was no helping it~! It was just too expensive! Even if it was worth the price.

"Oh, come on! I'll give you a friends-and-family discount~" Gu Yu said to Ye Zian with a cheeky grin.
