Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World Chapter 2176: Joining The Ghost Child Gang

Chapter 2176: Joining The Ghost Child Gang

Zhao Hai stood in front of the mission board as usual, looking through the available missions. Although Zhao Hai knew that the Ghost Child Gang was paying attention to him, he didn’t know how much the gang valued him. Therefore, he has to continue doing missions to attract more attention from the gang.
At this time, Zhao Hai felt a group of people appearing behind him. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was a group of people. There were ten of them.
Zhao Hai pretended to not notice the group behind him. At this time, one of the people behind Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, “Are you Mister Zhao Ling?”
Zhao Hai immediately turned around and looked at the person. With a confused expression on his face, he answered, “I am Zhao Ling. May I know why Mister is looking for me?”
The person smiled faintly and said, “Mister, we are from the Ghost Child Gang. Is Mister free to visit the gang today?”
Zhao Hai stared, then he nodded and said, “Alright. Mister, please.” The person smiled and then waved his hand in invitation.
Zhao Hai and the group left the mission hall. After Zhao Hai left, the mission hall began to liven up. Everyone was discussing Zhao Hai and his good luck. These people had been waiting for the Ghost Child Gang to approach them. After all, being approached by the gang is equal to entering it. However, these people stayed in the city for several days without even knowing someone from the Ghost Child Sect. And now, Zhao Hai was able to attract the gang’s attention in just a month.
Naturally, many people didn’t know how long Zhao Hai spent living in the city. They were just sighing about Zhao Hai’s good luck. They actually didn’t notice Zhao Hai before this day.
Zhao Hai quickly arrived at the Ghost Child Gang’s headquarters under the group’s lead. There were people sitting inside the meeting room. These were high-ranking members of the gang with Zhong Busan at the head.
Zhao Hai didn’t know Zhong Busan, but the person beside him cupped his fist and said, “Gang Leader, I’ve brought Mister Zhao Ling.”
Zhao Hai cupped his fist towards Zhong Busan and said, “I have seen Gang Leader.”
The Gang Leader nodded, then he waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be so formal. The reason I invited Mister over is to ask you if you are willing to join the Ghost Child Gang?”
Zhao Hai thought that Zhong Busan would ask about his identity. He didn’t expect the Gang Leader to invite him immediately. However, Zhao Hai didn’t show his surprise, instead he wore an excited expression as he said, “Of course I’m willing. But I don’t know if I am qualified.”
Hearing Zhao Hai, Zhong Busan couldn’t help but laugh, “What qualified, you certainly have the qualifications. Zhao Ling, from now on, you’re a member of the Ghost Child Gang. Someone, help Zhao Ling get settled.”
Someone immediately approached Zhao Hai. After cupping his fist towards Zhong Busan, Zhao Hai turned around and left. Moreover, he showed an excited expression on his face.
Zhong Busan looked at Zhao Hai’s back for a moment before he asked, “Did someone check Zhao Ling’s background?”
A cultivator stepped forward and said, “Replying to the Gang Leader. I haven’t heard of any news regarding Zhao Ling in the surrounding cities. Judging by the techniques he uses, he’s a close combat Ghost Cultivator. There’s only one such sect close by, and that’s the Ghost Claw Sect. However, the sect doesn’t know anyone with the name Zhao Ling. It’s clear that he didn’t come from the sect. It’s possible that Zhao Ling came from a very far place.”
Zhong Busan nodded and said, “So you’re saying that it’s unlikely that he will cause trouble to the gang?”
The person nodded, “That is the case. Since he doesn’t seem to be from the surrounding sects, he won’t cause any trouble. If he offended a sect, it should be very far from here. It’s impossible for a sect to send people to chase a Soul Formation Cultivator this far. After all, this isn’t within their region of influence.”
Zhong Busan nodded, “That’s good. Go and see who Zhao Ling gets in contact with, see if there’s anything suspicious. If he wants to go on a mission, forbid him in the meantime.” The cultivator complied immediately.
Zhong Busan looked at the others and said, “Alright, now that Zhao Ling’s matters have been settled, let’s move on. The Green Zombie Gang seems to be lingering around our territory. Does anyone have any news about this?”
Upon hearing Zhong Busan, the others couldn’t help but be stunned. This was because this question doesn’t have a good answer. The strength of the Green Zombie Gang was no less than the Ghost Child Gang. Although the two groups were similarly under the Battle Corpse Sect, the Green Zombie Gang refined zombies which were closer to the methods of the Battle Corpse Sect. Several members of the Green Zombie Gang have joined the Battle Corpse Sect in recent years while the Ghost Child Gang was falling behind. As time passed, the Ghost Child Gang’s voice in the sect became smaller and smaller.
The Green Zombie Gang used the situation to their advantage. Little by little, they had been nibbling at the Ghost Child Gang’s territory. Although the Ghost Child Gang continued to hold control over the city, it was impossible for a city to exist on its own. Any city would have to spread its influence to the surrounding area, managing towns and markets. These were places that supported the city’s operations.
Therefore, although the Ghost Child Gang only had one city, it had a large number of settlements and businesses under their control.
Like the Ghost Child Gang, the Green Zombie Gang also managed one city. It just happened that the two cities were adjacent to each other. This caused conflicts between the two cities. Now, the Green Zombie Gang seems to be constantly pressing the Ghost Child Gang. On the other hand, the Ghost Child Gang couldn’t easily fight back.
For this reason, when Zhong Busan asked about the matters regarding the Green Zombie Gang, everyone became silent. This was because they didn’t know what to say.
Zhong Busan looked at everyone’s reaction and his face couldn’t help but turn cold. Then he said, “What? Are you afraid of those bastards in the Green Zombie Gang?
Nobody spoke, but their expressions weren’t good to look at. Although they weren’t sect cultivators, they were cultivators nonetheless. If a cultivator was afraid, then they wouldn’t be able to progress.
At this point, one person stood up and said, “Gang Leader, we aren’t afraid of the Green Zombie Gang. There’s nothing to be afraid of. What we are worried about is the people behind those guys.”
Zhong Busan asked, “What do you want to say?”
The person replied, “As the Gang Leader knows, the Green Zombie Gang has been consistently sending people to the Battle Corpse Sect. The more people they send, the more likely that their people would enter the inner sect. I’m sure that if they have no higher backing, the Green Zombie Gang wouldn’t dare do their current actions.”
“Because of this, I think if we want to solve the issue with the Green Zombie Gang, we need to start with the people supporting them from behind. We should send a letter to our seniors in the Battle Corpse Sect and ask them for help. This matter is very important for the Ghost Child Gang.”
Zhong Busan nodded. The Green Zombie Gang was becoming more and more active in the Ghost Child Gang’s territory. This caused him to be vigilant. If the Green Zombie Gang didn’t have a powerful backer, they wouldn’t be courageous enough to disturb the Ghost Child Gang. After all, the Ghost Child Gang also has seniors in the Battle Corpse Sect.
Thinking of this, Zhong Busan said, “Alright, let’s put this matter aside. Let’s wait for news before making a move.”
Everyone nodded. Then Zhong Busan said, “Alright, everyone is dismissed. Remember to pay attention to the Green Zombie Gang. If they dared to make a move, we need to stop them as soon as possible. If the Green Zombie Gang wages war, we’ll let them know that the Ghost Child Gang isn’t easy to deal with. As for the winner, that is still unclear.”
Everyone nodded. Zhong Busan waved his hand, allowing everyone to leave. As he looked at the backs of his subordinates, Zhong Busan couldn’t help but be disappointed. The Ghost Child Gang has too few talents. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been ignored by the Battle Corpse Sect for so long.
Outsiders have a very high impression of the Ghost Child Gang because ten people were selected from the gang to be sent to the Battle Corpse Sect. This news caused rogue cultivators to flock to the city. However, only Zhong Busan knew the real situation. Nobody from the Ghost Child Gang has joined the Battle Corpse Sect for many years. Even if the Battle Corpse Sect selects some people, they would only become corpse slaves in the end. They couldn’t be counted as joining the Battle Corpse Sect.
Corpse slaves were basically cultivators that were killed by the Battle Corpse Sect after they joined because they had been deemed as having no potential. Then they would be refined into battle corpses. The ‘battle corpse’ in the name of the Battle Corpse Sect were corpse slaves.
Although the Ghost Child Gang sends 10 people per year to the sect, even if the gang sends a hundred, the sect still wouldn’t count it as a merit. It was precisely because of this that the Ghost Child Gang was now in an awkward position.
The Battle Corpse Sect wasn’t a humanitarian organization. They will take a large number of people from their subordinate gangs every year and then test them. If these people succeed the test, they would become official members of the Battle Corpse Sect. If they failed, then they could only be refined into corpse slaves for the disciples of the sect to cultivate with.
These things were only known to internal members of the gangs and the Battle Corpse Sect. It was impossible for rogue cultivators to know about this. Therefore, upon hearing that the Ghost Child Gang was sending 10 people to the Battle Corpse Sect every year, rogue cultivators flocked to Ghost Child City in droves. They thought that they would change their fate, but this decision might also cause their demise.
The Battle Corpse Sect’s management of the gangs was very simple. The less resources the gangs send to the sect, the more people the sect would take from them. On the other hand, they wouldn’t take many people from gangs that give a lot. The Ghost Child Gang’s offerings to the sect weren’t very high, therefore the sect wouldn’t be polite with them. Ten people per year was already considered as a small number.
