With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods



The next morning, the three of them headed out the city gate early.

As for their destination, it was the Flower Oasis where they had heard that 'Mu Bao Bao' was.

Their goal was the same as the mercenary group from before, they wanted to find proof that 'Mu Bao Bao' was there and bring it back for the reward.

Even if they were C Rank Mercenaries, the thousand spirit stones wasn't a small amount for them. It was still more than enough to entice them into taking this risk.

But as they were heading out of the gate, they couldn't help noticing a few things.

There were quite a few mercenaries that were heading out the same gate and heading in the same direction.

Even if they didn't take the same road, it wasn't hard to guess what was happening…

They most likely received the same information and were currently heading towards the Flower Oasis.

So once they were alone, the other two asked the handsome swordsman where he got his information.

Hearing their interrogation, the handsome swordsman revealed an awkward smile and said, "I've already told you exactly where I found those people and I don't know anything more than you do. I can't help it if they sell this information to other people, it's just what they do."

Hearing this, the other two narrowed their eyes to look at the handsome swordsman before revealing looks of acceptance.

They knew that they couldn't be angry with him since what he said was correct.

But the fact that there were now so many others that knew about this…it would make it hard for them to achieve their goal.

After all, with so many people coming after the target, there was no doubt that the target would be alerted and would be much more on alert. It would make it harder for all of them to get the information that they wanted.

Not to mention, if there were some people that were less skilled…they might risk all of their lives.

This was clearly not a good sign.

But after considering it, they still decided that they would go to the Flower Oasis.

This amount of money was just too tempting for them to give up. At the same time, if something really happened, then they would just be able to escape before taking any action.

They were confident in their abilities to do that at least.

So the three of them continued on their journey to the Flower Oasis.

They arrived in the afternoon and they saw that there were many people that they met at the gate this morning arriving at around the same time. 

They just looked at them once before turning away and pretending not to notice them.

But they could also see that the others were doing the same as them.

Everyone was just pretending not to see each other.

After arriving in the city, they quickly found a place to stay before heading out.

They wanted to scout out the inn that 'Mu Bao Bao' was staying at before any of the others could make a move. But once again, when they arrived in the area, they saw familiar faces.

With how many times they had run into each other today, it was impossible for them not to recognize each other.

Everyone just stared at each other with awkward looks until…they all scattered again.

Since there were so many people already here, no one dared to risk their lives by still going through with this. If they really did, there was no doubt that they would be caught by 'Mu Bao Bao' with all the interference outside.

So they all needed to rethink their plans.

But then…everyone gathered at the same restaurant as well…

They all had the same idea of coming to the most popular restaurant so that they could hide themselves, but it didn't matter if everyone came here as well.

So they split off into groups of twos and threes and went off to different tables.

The ones that came to the table of these three were a group that the three of them were familiar with. They were another C Ranked Mercenary Group who were based in Stirring Sands City.

This group was made up of five different people, three males and two females.

When they sat down, the first thing that the leader did was order a round for everyone. Then they all ordered their food.

It was only when everything came that they started talking in low voices.

The leader of the other group spoke first, "So you also received that information, huh?"

The three of them revealed bitter smiles before the middle aged man said, "Did they really sell that information to everyone here?"

The leader of the other group also revealed a bitter smile as he said, "It seems like it's even more than that."

When they heard this, the three of them knitted their brows before the middle aged man asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The leader of the other group looked around before leaning in closer to say, "I've heard that they even sold that information to the nearby towns and villages. There are still others who are on their way."

When they heard this, the looks on their faces turned even more bitter.

It seemed like they finally figured out why the information dealer didn't turn 'Mu Bao Bao' in themselves. 

The way that they had sold information to everyone like this, they would certainly earn just as much as they would getting proof about 'Mu Bao Bao'. 

Just the three of them had paid two spirit stones and with everyone else who was here, if they all paid two spirit stones like they did…then they should already have over two hundred spirit stones.

Then add in the ones in the towns and villages they sold to, they should have already earned as much as the bounty.

Not to mention, this was much safer than trying to find some proof about 'Mu Bao Bao'. 

So they must be laughing all the way to the bank.

After a long silence where they just wallowed in their regret, the leader of the other group suddenly asked, "Do you want to work together?"

The three of them were pulled back from their self pity and looked at the leader of the other group with serious looks.

Seeing that his face was serious, they knew that he wasn't kidding about this. Then after thinking about it, they didn't feel that this was a bad idea.

After all, in the current situation, if they didn't do this job carefully, it was very likely that they would lose their lives.

But before that…

The middle aged man was the one who spoke again as he said, "What do you intend to cooperate on? What do you need us to do?"

He said this in a calm and firm tone that showed that he wasn't going to be swayed that easily.

The leader of the group gave a nod in response since he had already expected this before saying in a serious voice, "It's very simple, you have strength while we have the ability to get information. So I want you to act as our bodyguard while we get the information that we all want."

When the three of them heard this, they once again knitted their brows.

After all, they weren't fools.

They could tell what the other side was thinking of doing, so there was no way of accepting this.

If they were to work as bodyguards, it was clear that the other side would use them as scapegoats if anything went wrong.

This was not something that they could accept.

So the middle aged man said, "It seems that there's nothing else to discuss."

Without even waiting for them to say anything, the middle aged man stood up and the other two followed him.

When the leader of the other group saw this, he couldn't help being surprised. After all, he never thought that these three would be so decisive that they would stand up to leave right away.

In the end, he had no choice but to say, "Wait, let's talk about this."

The three of them stopped moving, but they didn't sit down either. The middle aged man looked at the leader of the other group and said, "We'll work together and if it doesn't work out, we'll each be responsible for our own safety."

When they heard this, the members of the other group all revealed bitter looks.

But they had no choice but to accept this since there was a difference in strength between the two sides.

They were both C Ranked Mercenary Groups, but there was a difference in power.

After all, their group had earned that C Rank by completing missions and the Triple Axis group had earned it with their actual power. Their group only had one person that could qualify as a C Rank Mercenary, which was enough for them to be classified as a C Rank group.

As for the Triple Axis group, they were all powerful enough to be C Rank Mercenaries. There were even rumours that they could become a B Ranked group if they wanted to, but they hadn't applied yet.

So if they didn't want to do something, then they would have no way of forcing them.

In the end, the leader of the other group had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Seeing this, the three of them all revealed sly smiles before sitting down again.

Then the middle aged man said, "Now, let's talk about our split."
