Chapter 39

"Su Hao, are you interested in joining our God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group?"

After Su Hao calmed the Da Xiong Mao down, Ling Xue'er extended an invitation to Su Hao.

This was her decision after much consideration.

First, Su Hao is also a person of God Summer, and also an extraordinary being with a shelter, fully meeting the recruitment requirements of the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group.

Second, if Su Hao were recruited into the Doomsday Investigation Group, then his Da Xiong Mao, which likely possesses second-tier extraordinary combat power, would naturally join the investigation group as well.

Buy one get one free, this deal is definitely profitable.

Moreover, his pet Da Xiong Mao is so strong; as its owner, Su Hao's strength couldn't be lacking—at least not weaker than the Da Xiong Mao's.

Actually, from the bloody, through-and-through wound on Su Hao's left chest, Ling Xue'er basically concluded that he is definitely a strong expert.

After all, an ordinary person with such severe injuries would surely die, with no chance of survival, let alone be as lively and active as Su Hao.

From subtle signs, from the wound on Su Hao's chest, Ling Xue'er could ascertain two things.

First, the talent or extraordinary sequence he obtained gave him terrifying vitality; even if his heart were destroyed, he would not die.

From a certain perspective, strong vitality means not weak combat power.

Second, Su Hao possesses extremely strong willpower; putting herself in his shoes, Ling Xue'er feels that even she would have such vitality.

But if she had such a terrifying wound on her body, she admits she couldn't be as carefree and cheerful as Su Hao.

Strong strength and firm will are essential qualities of a strong expert.

Therefore, Ling Xue'er concluded that Su Hao is a master whose strength surpasses that of a second-tier Da Xiong Mao; if she could recruit him into the Doomsday Investigation Group, that would be perfect.

"Doomsday Investigation Group?"

After hearing Ling Xue'er's invitation, Su Hao stroked his chin, showing a thoughtful expression, and did not immediately respond.

As a reborn person, Su Hao naturally knows the organization 【God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group】.

This is the organization with the greatest authority in God Summer after the advent of the uncanny.

The organization's tasks are simple yet arduous, totaling only two.

One is to investigate the cause of the uncanny advent, and among these uncanny manifestations, which powerful evil gods exist and whether there are potential partners for cooperation.

However, this goal has seen no progress until Su Hao's rebirth; fundamentally, no one knows why the uncanny descended.

The other task is to find survivors and establish some safe cities in the apocalypse where God Summer's people can live.

This task is relatively easy to accomplish, after all, after the uncanny advent, the surroundings of some cities are not dangerous zones like dark forests.

As long as these cities are used as bases, constructing defensive facilities and living amenities would give the God Summer people living there basic livelihood and security.

In his previous life, Su Hao had heard of several such cities; although they cannot compare to before the apocalypse, compared to other places in the apocalypse, they are vastly better.

To put it bluntly, the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group bears the heavy responsibility of rebuilding God Summer's civilization.

At the same time, the Doomsday Investigation Group has great authority; as long as it is a God Summer official venue, its members can come and go freely.

Moreover, they can obtain more resources, and have more trade options.

For anyone else, joining the Doomsday Investigation Group is a very good choice.

However, Su Hao has his own reservations.

As a reborn person, he knows more about the apocalypse; if he wishes, he can acquire resources earlier than others.

But if he joins the Doomsday Investigation, he would need to cooperate with the organization on some tasks, reducing his free time.

Of course, he could also choose to tell these opportunities to the organization, letting others obtain them together and increase their strength.

However, Su Hao currently has no such intention; although he is not overly selfish, he is not particularly generous either.

Before he has absolute strength, he is absolutely unable to share opportunities with others.

His first principle is to make himself strong!

Only when his own strength is strong enough to survive in the apocalypse might he consider helping others.

Moreover, in Su Hao's view, only when his own strength is strong enough can he have the ability to help more people!

After serious consideration, Su Hao ultimately still shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't like being constrained, but if you need any help or supplies, you can let me know; perhaps I can offer some assistance."

"Not possible?"

Upon hearing that, Ling Xue'er inevitably felt a bit disappointed; if she could recruit such a master as Su Hao into the Doomsday Investigation Group, the organization's future operations would be safer and they could explore more places.

But just then, Ling Xue'er had a flash of inspiration and thought of a compromise.

From Su Hao's recent words, it's not hard to hear that he has no aversion toward God Summer or the Doomsday Investigation Group; he simply prefers freedom and does not want to be bound by the organization, so...

"What do you think of this: you join our Doomsday Investigation Group as a special member, you can share our organization's information, but you don't have to compulsorily carry out missions; everything is up to you."

"However, if you want the organization's internal resources, you need to exchange corresponding supplies or participate in missions to obtain them."

"What do you think of this?"

Having said that, Ling Xue'er looked at Su Hao with anticipation; if she could bring him in, there would be more room for maneuver later, and perhaps some operations would interest him, allowing them to explore together.

Having Su Hao such a master along just thinking about it gives a sense of security.

As for whether superiors will agree to this, Ling Xue'er has absolute confidence.

Even a fool would know the value of such a master as Su Hao; it's impossible to turn him away.

If it weren't for Ling Xue'er's insufficient authority, she would want to spend money to recruit Su Hao!

"Hmm... if there are no compulsory requirements, I can agree to your request; coincidentally, I have some things I don't need, and if you need them, we can trade."

Su Hao lowered his head, thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement to the proposal.

If Ling Xue'er could indeed let him join the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group as a special member, then Su Hao naturally would have no reason to refuse.

Without the hassle of compulsory missions, joining the God Summer Doomsday Investigation Group would bring only benefits, not drawbacks; not only could he obtain more information, but trading supplies would also be more convenient.

After all, not all of the items Su Hao obtained are useful to him; turning some useless things into trade is far better than letting them gather dust in his hands.

Thinking this through, Su Hao looked at Ling Xue'er, whose face showed ecstatic delight, took out two Lethally Poisoned Arrows and handed them over, introducing:

「This is Lethally Poisoned Arrows; although they are not supernatural items, they also have a deadly poison that seals the throat on contact; at the same time, the materials used to make the arrows are decent, with hardness and sharpness somewhat better than ordinary arrows—give them a try. 」

In his previous life, Su Hao lived for over a year in Ling Xue'er's shelter, so he naturally knew of her supernatural abilities; these Lethally Poisoned Arrows are definitely something she cannot pass up.

Moreover, these arrows are of little use to Su Hao himself; taking them to trade with Ling Xue'er can yield some useful supplies.

This also gives him a chance to slightly repay the life-saving grace from his previous life.

Ling Xue'er took the Lethally Poisoned Arrows Su Hao handed over, weighed them in her hand twice, and then doubted what Su Hao had said.

Although your strength is great, how high can the hardness of such light and flimsy arrows possibly be?

Moreover, the arrowhead doesn't look poisonous, and its sharpness appears rather ordinary.

With a doubtful attitude, Ling Xue'er took down the longbow on her back, drew it, and shot at the nearby large tree.
