Chapter 63: The Journey (1)
“Of course, someone like you, a research-type talent, is rare. It’s impressive that you were able to create so many things on your own. The Great Luminous Stone, advanced new rune patterns, rune array boards, and the improvement of Dr. Xu’s herbal medicine into more effective anti-inflammatory tablets. These are things that not just anyone could make. I’ve thought about it, and if given time, maybe you could develop even better ways to combat the Black Disaster.” Li Runshan said with a smile, “So, do you think I should take action against you just because of one piece of Great Luminous Stone technology?”
Yu Hong was left speechless.
He also felt that Li Runshan had a very valid point. If he were in Li Runshan’s position, he would probably make the same choice.
“Since I’m so valuable, doesn’t the organization behind you, the post office, want to recruit me?” He asked another question.
“Of course, but the problem is that I haven’t reported you.” Li Runshan smiled. “After confirming that you didn’t want to leave here, I didn’t report anything about you. Otherwise, if you left, I’d be the only one left, and I’d get nothing. And do you know how I ended up here? With a kid in tow, too?”
“Did you offend someone?” Yu Hong immediately understood.
“Yeah, one of the big shots at the post office. Luckily, another big shot, my former superior, supported me. After some negotiations, the result was me coming here for the relic investigation task.” Li Runshan said casually.
He then looked at Yu Hong. “So, do you want me to help you hire a team? For protection? The price is negotiable.”
Yu Hong thought for a moment. Long-term employment wasn’t an option for him. His secret was too many, and once the Black Seal enhanced, his appearance would drastically change. If someone was around, they’d definitely notice the difference.
