Stronger with More Jobs

Chapter 778: Chapter 314: We Might All Die Here...

"Damn! This is what a place to live should be like!"

He rubbed vigorously against the sofa, as if trying to wipe away the tough times spent in the bare cement block, his voice carrying a sense of relief after surviving a disaster: "Crammed in that godforsaken place for so many days, I almost thought I’d traveled back several decades to work in the countryside!"

Wei Banmeng, who was observing the room’s environment, glanced at him with an annoyed expression, her cool voice ringing out: "Right now, in the outside world, there are plenty of people living in houses like that, or even worse."

Chu Kuanglan performed a quick sitting-up maneuver, scratching his steel-like short hair, and laughed cheekily: "I know, I know, Sister Banmeng, I get it!"

"I’m just not used to this heavenly life all of a sudden."

He looked around at the spacious, bright, and well-furnished villa, then at the lush green yard outside the window, sighing: "Our days of hardship have finally come to an end."

His words were half in jest and half heartfelt.

The members of the Dawn Squad, including Lin Yu and the others, all wore relaxed smiles on their faces.

Having been in the City of Injustice for about ten days.

The progress so far wasn’t too slow; at least now they had a decent place to settle.

Fang Qingyu ignored Chu Kuanglan’s antics.

Instead, he walked to the center of the living room, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Those he brought along, the core of Dawn, and the taciturn but composed "Su Qiang."

"The place is spacious, and the environment is better." Fang Qingyu’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it was clear to everyone’s ears, "But this is just the beginning."

The easygoing atmosphere in the living room slightly tensed, and everyone quieted down, focusing their attention on him.

"Securing the Blood Wolf Gang’s territory was only a small step in the Gray Rock District."

Fang Qingyu continued calmly, "The next things to do are divided into two routes."

"The first route." He looked at Wei Banmeng and Chu Kuanglan and the others, "Besides the people from Dawn, you’re responsible for figuring out the remaining gangs in the Gray Rock District and the detailed situation in the surrounding areas. The power distribution, key figures, and their backers... the more detailed, the better."

"Knowing ourselves and the enemy, whether to continue expanding territory or to consolidate defenses, requires this as a foundation."

"Once everything is clear, start urging Lei Meng to begin expanding outward."

Wei Banmeng and the others immediately nodded: "Understood!"

"The second route," Fang Qingyu’s gaze turned to Lin Yu and Qi Feng, "Lin Yu, Qi Feng. Take the brothers of Dawn and the people from Brother Su Qiang’s side to continue infiltrating the city."

"The target remains those big factions, particularly the Ten Great Forces. The Celestial Punishment Association remains the focus, but try to gather intelligence on other forces and networks as well."

Lin Yu and Qi Feng exchanged a glance and replied solemnly, "Rest assured, we will proceed with caution."

Fang Qingyu nodded slightly, paused, and then continued, his Melted Gold eyes scanning every person present:

"However, above all these tasks, there’s one primary mission that none of you should forget."

Everyone focused even more intently.

"Raise your power."

Fang Qingyu stated clearly, word by word, "This is a long-term task that cannot be neglected even a single day."

"The conflicts in Gray Rock District can still be handled with our current manpower and strength."

"But as you’ve seen, even random members dispatched from the Lingxiao Association are led by a Peak of Third Tier with over a dozen Tier Three experts."

"Once facing the true juggernauts of the Inner City, without enough strength, everything is just empty talk."

He gestured to this comfortable villa: "The environment has improved, and resources will follow suit. The resources of the Blood Wolf Gang are sufficient to support our training needs for a while."

"In the City of Injustice, Tier Three is the true core force with a voice. If we remain content in Tier Two, moving forward... it simply won’t suffice."

Old Chu and Wei Banmeng among others nodded in agreement.

Having experienced the despair of Glazed Light City and the chaotic journey, they craved strength more than anyone else.

In this chaotic City of Injustice.

Strength is the only guarantee of survival and power.

"So." Fang Qingyu looked at Lin Yu, "Your people are the same. Since Banmeng has already invited you to join, now everyone is on the same side. For the resources needed for regular training, whatever you need, don’t hesitate. Go directly to Old Chu or ask Brother Su Qiang here."

He pointed at Chu Kuanglan and the silent Martial Saint Middle Realm.

The Martial Saint known as "Su Qiang" from the Bauhinia Association nodded slightly, indicating acknowledgment.

Currently, the ones with the most say in the gang are Su Qiang and Chu Kuanglan.

Lin Yu wore a gentle and sincere smile and said to Fang Qingyu, "Yes, I know, the brothers won’t slack off."

Fang Qingyu nodded and didn’t say more.

He looked at everyone: "For now, that’s how it’s arranged. Everyone get settled and familiarize yourself with the new environment. Jiang Wei and I are going out for a while."

Going out?

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Having just moved into a new home, while the Blood Wolf Gang’s aftermath is still in full swing, where is Qingyu going?

But no one asked further. Wei Banmeng just nodded and said: "Okay, be careful."

Chu Kuanglan waved grandly, "Go ahead, Qingyu, we’ve got things covered here!"

Fang Qingyu gave Jiang Wei a look, and the two of them got up in tacit understanding and left the newly moved-in villa.

Outside the villa, the streets of the Gray Rock District were much more bustling than before.

Flags of the Cyan Dragon Gang were everywhere, with the gang members walking proud and tall, their faces showing the pride of victors.

An unremarkable black car stood quietly at a street corner.
