Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 642 - 335: Golden Armor Warrior, Zhang Yida_2
"No."
"Oh, then you’re doomed. If you don’t rent a room, the landlord won’t meet you."
Zhi Yin looked disappointed and was about to shut the door.
"Wait..."
The old man hurriedly reached out to stop her.
"Zhi Yin, don’t be rude. Please let the old gentleman in."
Suddenly, Qin Shou’s voice floated over.
"Oh."
Zhi Yin acknowledged and opened the door.
"Old man, come in."
The elder let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, little sister."
Zhi Yin pouted. "Hmph, I’m not little!"
The elder chuckled. He could tell the young maid... or rather, young girl, wasn’t intentionally disrespecting her elders. She just didn’t even realize she should treat them with deference.
To be precise, this young girl didn’t even see him as an elder.
Glancing sideways at the "decorative" Dragon Horn atop Zhi Yin’s head, the elder’s heart involuntarily trembled.
This thing might actually be real.
...
The living room.
Qin Shou personally poured the elder a cup of tea, and the elder thanked him awkwardly.
"Haha, Elder Jiang, may I ask what brings you here?"
Qin Shou sat directly across from Elder Jiang, while Zhang Yida quietly crouched in a corner, clutching his mug.
He cautiously stole a glance at Elder Jiang, and after confirming his identity, he screamed internally.
"Oh my god! It’s Elder Jiang, the big shot among big shots, the legendary general of Xia Country’s military district, and he’s here in this run-down apartment! The world has gone mad!!"
Amidst his excitement, Zhang Yida discreetly pulled out his phone...
"Click..."
The soft sound shattered the brief silence.
Elder Jiang paid no attention to Zhang Yida’s actions, instead allowing his gaze to sweep across the room before finally settling on Qin Shou.
"Mr. Qin, a gentleman named Mr. Sun told me you possess the ability to change the world."
Elder Jiang spoke frankly, without avoiding the presence of Zhang Yida.
Qin Shou remained calm. "Oh? That monkey actually remembers me?"
Elder Jiang’s body trembled, his aged face gradually showing signs of excitement.
So, the ancient deity really exists.
"How do you know each other?" Qin Shou asked casually.
Elder Jiang suddenly stood and responded solemnly, "That day, a gigantic abnormality rampaged through Chengde, causing the Five-finger Mountain to stir. When we arrived, Mr. Sun had already emerged, and with one strike, he subdued the abnormality. His divine power is boundless."
Qin Shou nodded slightly. "I see. That monkey was hiding in Five-finger Mountain. No wonder we couldn’t find him all these years."
Their conversation was cryptic, and Zhang Yida was equally baffled.
Five-finger Mountain, Mr. Sun, monkey...
Who?
Horses’ Fortune?
No way, right?
Zhang Yida thought to himself incredulously.
Water Blue Star still held onto the myths and legends.
This was a point Qin Shou found puzzling.
As Qin Shou finished speaking, Elder Jiang solemnly bowed to him, his gaze unwavering.
"Mr. Qin, though I don’t know your divine identity, I humbly plead for your mercy to save this planet."
Zhang Yida froze.
What?
Deity?
It’s already escalated to world-saving?
This world is insane; time to pack up... and move in.
Even if the landlord is crazy, I can’t argue with money.
Ignoring Zhang Yida sneaking out, Qin Shou scrutinized Elder Jiang for a moment before laughing. "Mortal matters are not something beings like me can meddle in."
"But Mr. Qin, with great power comes great responsibility..."
"Stop. Who said that?"
"I wouldn’t dare lie to a deity; it’s... copied from the internet."
Qin Shou: "..."
Immediately, Qin Shou stood up, his expression appreciative as he looked at Elder Jiang.
"Not bad, not bad. Humans are ignorant, hypocritical, and foolish. Sincere mortals like you are rare. You appeal to my taste. I’ll take on this task."
Elder Jiang: "..."
This works?
If you like it, I’ve got plenty more!
"Mr. Qin, there’s more online. Shall I send you a link?"
"No need. One sentence suffices. Head back and establish ERP, and I’ll personally oversee it to teach you all how to handle abnormalities."
"ERP? Mr. Qin, you really keep up with the times..."
"Not just that. Nowadays, the types of abnormalities are numerous. To handle them, the more specialized departments the better."
"Any instructions, Mr. Qin?"
"Victory Team, Night Raid Team, MAC, Youma Rescue Team need to be set up, all under the Water Blue Star Defense Organization."
"Um, Mr. Qin, do these organizations have any special significance? I think..."
"You don’t need to think; I do!"
Elder Jiang: "..."
There’s an overwhelming sense that this deity might not be very reliable.
...
Days later.
The newly established Youma Rescue Team headquarters.
"Zhang Yida."
"Present!"
Zhang Yida eagerly stepped forward, standing straight, awaiting motivational words... or, perhaps, a golden opportunity.
The instructor studied the figure before him and thought...
Muscles underdeveloped, brain not too sharp, an air of goofiness, and absolutely zero experience fighting abnormalities.
The sight gave the instructor a pounding headache.
Great, another one brought in through connections.
If it were the usual "pulling strings" case, he wouldn’t feel so troubled.
Scolding, lecturing—nothing out of the ordinary.
But the key is, this kid was recommended by that esteemed individual.
How to handle this buffoon warranted careful thought.
"Instructor? Instructor?"
Seeing the instructor lost in thought, Zhang Yida softly prodded him with a "please praise me" expression.
Instructor: "..."
Screw it. Whatever the top commands.
"Zhang Yida, starting today, you are the first captain of Youma Rescue Team. I hope you won’t let the people, Xia Country, and..." The instructor hesitated mid-sentence, sighing inwardly.
Zhang Yida didn’t care about any of that. He instantly bowed and shouted, "Yes, I will not let the people down..."
Haha! My landlord brother was right after all. Love Apartment aligns perfectly with my destiny. From now on, promotions, salary hikes, finding a superwoman, and reaching life’s pinnacle—it’s no longer a dream.
Mom, I’ll never be unlucky again!
Meanwhile, the elite team members, bitterly watching a greenhorn who hadn’t trained for even two days get appointed captain, felt the world had gone dark.
"Instructor, we object. Why should he be captain?"
"Yeah, we know his abilities perfectly well. He can’t even beat a dog, let alone be captain."
"We object, Instructor. I strongly suspect someone pulled strings."
"Yeah, we object..."
"Zhang Yida is an idiot. He can’t do anything. How could he become captain..."
The already-nervous Zhang Yida heard this and immediately jumped up, shouting, "Which bastard called me an idiot? Get out here... get out here and let’s duel!"
"Fine, a duel it is!"
A man nearly two meters tall stepped forward, gesturing provocatively.
"Zhang Yida, this is the duel you wanted!"
"Uh..."
Zhang Yida glanced at the guy’s taut abdominal muscles that seemed to twitch slightly and instinctively swallowed.
This isn’t desire—this is fear.
Oh crap, they’re twitching!
Do you honestly believe I have no muscle?
Zhang Yida threw off his jacket...
Okay, I don’t.
"Ahem."
At that moment, the chief instructor strode into the training room, expressionless as he scanned the crowd. The chaotic scene immediately settled down.
The chief instructor looked imposing. "You think Zhang Yida lacks the strength to be captain?"
The crowd exchanged glances, silent but seething, their anger bottled up.
"Fine, let me show you why Zhang Yida, who appears to be utterly useless, was chosen as captain."
With that, he lifted a sealed briefcase, carefully extracting a golden belt.
"Look closely; this device can only be activated by Zhang Yida."
The chief instructor’s expression turned serious, as he handed the golden belt over to Zhang Yida solemnly.
"Zhang Yida, wear this, and you’ll understand the responsibility you carry!"
"This is..."
Zhang Yida looked bewildered by the chief instructor’s solemn tone.
The chief instructor offered a faint smile. "From now on, you are the Golden Armor Warrior!"
"What?"
Zhang Yida was completely dumbfounded. "What kind of warrior?"
"Golden Armor Warrior!"
"Golden what warrior?"
"Golden Armor Warrior!"
"What armor warrior?"
"Golden Armor Warrior!"
"This name..."
"On that note, the higher-ups have decided your mission name will be Shao Zhongtian."
"Shao Zhongtian? No way, that sounds so cringy."
"This is an order!"
"Alright, anything else?"
"Yes, the higher-ups instructed that when you’re not on missions, you’ll infiltrate Love Apartment. Ideally, you should aim to pass the bar exams and become a certified lawyer."
"Lawyer... I’m not really into that."
"It’s an order."
"Fine, fine, order it is. But shouldn’t my salary..."
"Hmm? Captain Zhang Yida, how can you be so short-sighted, focusing on your pay when you’re fighting to eliminate abnormalities?"
"But chief instructor, I’m really broke."
