Chapter 19: God of War

  "I'm fine, just some superficial wounds." Lin San moved his arm around a bit.

  "The doctor originally wanted Lin San to stay in the hospital for a few days, but Lin San insisted on returning to the company to work. I couldn't persuade him no matter what." Li Cong said with a smile.

  Zhou Tian looked Lin San up and down: "Are you really okay?"

  Lin San patted his chest with a loud slap: "I'm doing great."

  "Alright, you go and stand guard at the entrance," Zhou Tian nodded. After a moment's thought, he added to Li Cong, "You also go and stand guard at the entrance."

  "Ah." Lin San responded with a single word, pulling Li Cong along as he walked out of the hall, then stood on either side of the doorway.

  Time flies quickly, and it's already late afternoon.

  Zhou Tian strode out of the hall in big steps: "Lin San, Li Cong."

  "What's up, Director Zhou." Li Cong replied.

  "We've just received orders. Our entire security team will serve as Miss Gu's temporary bodyguards, and we'll be escorting her home shortly," said Zhou Tian.

  "What? Temporary bodyguard? How long?" Li Cong was taken aback.

  "24-hour protection, let's put it this way, wherever Miss Gu is, we are there too. We'll keep waiting until Miss Gu is completely out of danger before we can officially return to the company as security guards," said Zhou Tian.

  "Why did you choose our group?" Li Cong said with a smile, 24-hour protection, but Li Cong was somewhat unwilling.

  "We work in shifts," Zhou said. "Each group takes care of one week."

  "But I still have a lot of things to do every day." Li Congming was visibly displeased.

  "Alright, stop complaining. As long as you're still working at Ding Sheng Group, you have to follow the arrangements. Besides, we're not protecting Miss Gu for nothing, the bonuses are very generous." Zhou Tian said.

  "How rich is the bonus?" Li Cong's eyes lit up.

  He glanced at Li Cong and said, "I'm not sure of the exact amount, but it's definitely much more than your salary."

  "Considering the generous reward, I've decided to become Miss Gu's full-time bodyguard." Li Cong said with a smile.

  "You just know money!" Zhou Tian glared at Li Cong and turned his head to look at Lin San: "Lin San, what about you?"

  "Ah? I agree, I have no opinion, when can we start protecting Miss Gu?" Lin Sanba couldn't wait for the opportunity to get close to Gu Jialan, where would he refuse.

  "Now it's 5:30. Miss Gu will leave the company and head home at 7 o'clock. At that time, we'll escort her all the way."

  "Oh, there's still more than an hour left." Lin San's eyes rolled around and he said to Zhou Tian: "Zhou class monitor, can I ask you for a leave?"

  "What leave? What kind of leave?" Zhou Tian furrowed his brow.

  "I want to go home," Lin San said.

  "No way, Miss Gu is about to come out." Zhou Tian directly refused.

  "Headmaster Zhou, I really have an urgent matter, don't worry, I'll definitely be back before 7 o'clock." Lin Sansheng begged: "Headmaster Zhou, please..."

  "This......" Zhou Tian was somewhat embarrassed.

  "Zhou class monitor, just agree with me." Lin San begged repeatedly.

  "Alright, you must come back before 7 o'clock." Zhou Tian's heart was still relatively soft.

  "Definitely, definitely, Zhou class monitor, I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, Lin San turned around and came to the side of the road, hailed a taxi and left.

  Zhou Tian looked at Li Cong and said, "You'd better get ready, we'll be escorting Miss Gu back home soon."

  Li Cong nodded: "Got it."

  "I'll go inform the others. Meanwhile, don't run around everywhere." Zhou Tian instructed, then turned and walked into the hall.

  Guangyuan furrowed his brow and paced back and forth in the living room, muttering to himself from time to time: "This stinky little brat, it's so late already, and he still hasn't come back!"

  "Rustle!" The door was pushed open.

  Guangyuanzi suddenly turned his head towards the door and saw Lin San carrying a large box, panting and walking in from the doorway. Guangyuanzi immediately rushed over, snatched the box from Lin San's arms, opened it, and a smile appeared on his face: "So much wine!" As he spoke, Guangyuanzi took out a bottle of wine, unscrewed the cap, and started drinking heavily.

  Lin San wiped the sweat from his forehead with a hand: "Great Immortal, is this enough wine for you to drink?"

  Guangyuanzi finished a bottle of wine, threw away the empty bottle, and picked up another one. As he opened it, he said: "Hmm, not bad, this amount of wine is just enough for me to drink for now... Hmm... no, you're usually stingy, why did you bring so much wine this time? There must be something fishy going on!" Guangyuanzi narrowed his eyes and looked Lin San up and down: "Speak, what's your plan?"

  "Haha......" Lin San Chong Guang Yuanzi raised his thumb: "Immortals are indeed immortals, nothing can be hidden from you. That's right, I have a small favor to ask of you?"

  "What's going on?" Guangyuanzi looked at Lin San vigilantly.

  "A very small matter, for a great immortal like you, is just a trivial effort..." Lin San said with a smile.

  "Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point, what's going on?" Guangyuanzi furrowed his brow.

  "It's like this, I want a few more symbols from you." Lin San said while sizing up Guang Yuanzi's expression.

  Guangyuanzi was taken aback: "Fu?"

  "Right, right, just like that strengthening power symbol you gave me last time," Lin San said.

  "Didn't you say last time that because of the huge aftereffect of using the symbol, you wouldn't use it again for your entire life?" Guang Yuanzi asked doubtfully.

  "This time is special, I need your symbol," Lin San said.

  "What's so special about it?" Guangyuanzi asked.

  "It's hard to explain in a sentence or two, but basically the company has assigned me an important task that could put my life in danger at any moment, so I need some talismans to protect myself," Lin San said.

  "If it's a life-threatening mission, you might as well not agree to it." Guangyuanzi curled his lips.

  "No way, I'm the company's security guard, I have to follow the arrangement of my superiors." Lin San shook his head.

  "Cut it out, just stop already." Guangyuanzi said disdainfully.

  "No way, I just got the job offer and how can I say no to it?" Lin San waved his hand: "Ting Sheng Group's welfare treatment is very good, I don't want to leave." Lin San was not a student who had just walked out of campus, he deeply felt the cruelty of social survival reality, finding a job with good welfare treatment was really not easy.

  "Kid, it's not that I'm being petty, but your physique is too weak to withstand the aftereffects of using the symbol." Guang Yuanzi looked up and down at Lin San's small frame.

  Lin San licked his lips: "Can't bother with so much now, Great Immortal, hurry up and make the talisman for me."

  Guangyuan's son looked embarrassed, frowning and not speaking.

  "Otherwise, just give me a few more symbols and I'll buy you 5 boxes of wine!" Lin San began to tempt Guang Yuanzi.

  Guangyuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he was obviously somewhat moved.

  "Eight boxes of wine!" Lin San added a chip.

  Guangyuan's eyes narrowed.

  Lin San took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "10 boxes!"

  "Alright! Deal!" Guangyuanzi nodded.

  "Alas..." Lin San let out a sigh: "Great Immortal, you're getting harder and harder to talk to."

  Guangyuanzi stretched out his hand to Lin San: "Bring the wine over."

  "Get me the token first," Lin San said.

  "No way, I want to see the wine first." Guang Yuanzi's attitude was very clear.

  "Alright, I'll go buy it for you now!" Lin San didn't have time to bother with Guang Yuanzi, and quickly ran out of the house.

  Half an hour later, Lin San returned panting, followed by several porters. Lin San had the porters put ten boxes of wine at the door, then gave them money and sent them away. Then Lin San pushed open the door and walked into the room.

  "What about the wine?" Seeing Lin San return with empty hands, Guang Yuanzi's face looked somewhat unpleasant.

  "They're all outside the door."

  "Oh?" Guang Yuansu immediately stood up and came to the door, saw the neatly arranged wine boxes at the door, his eyes lit up instantly, without saying a word, he swung both hands and directly moved all ten boxes of wine into the living room.

  "I've brought you some wine, where's the token?" Lin San asked.

  "It's been drawn already, it's on the coffee table." Guangyuanzi pointed to the coffee table.

  Lin San hurried over and indeed saw two talismans on the tea table, both palm-sized. Lin San picked up the two talismans and took a look, and was immediately stunned: "What kind of talisman is this?"

  "What's wrong?" Guang Yu Zi walked over with a wine bottle in hand, drinking as he came.

  Lin San handed two symbols to Guang Yuanzi: "Why are the patterns on these two symbols so strange? What's their use?"

  Guangyuanzi poured a mouthful of wine, stretched out his hand and pointed to a talisman with a copper bell drawn on it: "This talisman will make you invulnerable to knives and guns, no matter what kind of weapon, it's hard to hurt you."

  "This is so fierce!" Lin San's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a talisman with a picture of something that looked like a human but not quite, like a ghost but not quite, and asked: "What about this talisman? What is this thing drawn on it? Half-human half-ghost."

  "What a half-human and half-demon! That's the God of War!" Guangyuanzi glared at Lin San.

  "God of War?" Lin San was taken aback: "What God of War!"

  "In our fairy world, there is a group of gods who are specifically responsible for guarding the safety of the fairy world. Their main duty is to prevent external disturbances. We call this group of gods 'war gods'." Guangyuanzi explained.

  "So handsome! How many war gods are there in the immortal world?" Lin San's curiosity was piqued again.

  "Not a small number, there should be over a thousand." Guangyuanzi thought for a moment and said.

  "Isn't the War God's magic very powerful?" Lin San continued to ask.

  Guangyuan nodded: "That's natural, if the magical power is not strong enough, can it protect the safety of the immortal realm?" The war god is actually a kind of fighter, the loyal guardian of the immortal emperor. As for the combat power of the war god, it is absolutely formidable. Generally, when there are disputes or rebellions in the immortal realm, the immortal emperor will dispatch a group of war gods to solve them. In the immortal realm, the war god only obeys the orders of the immortal emperor.

  "Then compared to Zhanshen, who has stronger magical powers?" Lin San's curiosity was still not satisfied.

  Guangyuanzi raised his head: "Of course it's me, I'm a well-known cultivation genius in the immortal world, much stronger than those war gods!" Guangyuanzi wasn't bragging, according to the immortal world's ranking, he was a Heavenly Immortal, slightly stronger than a War God.

  "Oh?" Lin San was clearly somewhat skeptical of Guang Yuanzi's words.

  "What? You don't believe me?" Guangyuanzi's eyes widened in anger.

  "No, no, I believe it, of course I believe it!" Lin San said hastily.

  "Listen, I drew this war god for you. Among the many war gods in the immortal world, he has the lowest magical power, but his divine ability is not small either. As long as you stick this talisman on your chest, you will possess one ten-thousandth of the war god's divine ability." Guangyuanzi described the effect of the talisman.

  "What? Only one in ten thousand?" Lin San's face fell.

  "Be content with what you have. Even if it's just one ten-thousandth of the War God's divine power, it's still quite impressive and enough for you to defeat your enemies." Guang Yuansu let out a light hum.
