While slaying gods, he suffers from a terminal illness and signs in to collect the seven gods of Gen

Chapter 23 "I'm sorry, Auntie... It was my fault."

Liu Lang didn't want things to be awkward when Hong Ying returned.

After tidying up the two adjacent rooms, I told Lei Yingdian to go to sleep first.

After taking a shower, Liu Lang put on a red pajama set in his room, clasped his hands together, and prayed to the heavens, "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, may the Supreme Lord Laozi show himself! Show himself!"

Randomly, it responded to the mechanical voice in my mind.

[Ding! We have arrived at Hongying's villa. Would you like to check in?]

"Sign in!" Liu Lang silently said to himself.

[Ding~ Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have received a five-star reward, "The Traveler's Backpack"!]

Even Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) isn't effective?

He prayed that something would be created that would free him from the shackles of the mortal realm and the divine realm...

As a result, they gave him a "traveler's backpack".

That's right. Since the Three Pure Ones aren't here, we should worship the Jade Emperor instead. Next time, we'll have to worship a different deity.

He refused to believe it, and even after worshipping all the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was all for naught!

Next time, I'll pray to the God of Wealth!

Jade Emperor, please step back. May the God of Wealth bless me and grant me a perfect chance to win!

Liu Lang summoned "Naginata no Inari" out of thin air and then tried to put it into "Traveler's Backpack".

The "Traveler's Backpack" has no physical form; it's like the in-game backpack in Genshin Impact. You can store an item in it simply by thinking about it.

As gamers know, whether it's Genshin Impact or other games, the backpacks, storage rings, and storage bags in those games are fundamentally different.

Those spatial items all have a corresponding storage space size.

A small one-square-meter area is already quite good, and a large one is even more limited.

It's important to know that in Genshin Impact, aside from certain specific items, everything else, regardless of quantity or size, can be stored in the same slot.

Liu Lang placed "Naginata no Inari" into "Traveler's Backpack" and couldn't help but marvel at the backpack's magic.

Anyway, as long as you don't deliberately put things in it, you generally won't run into its limits.

Having this makes things much more convenient; at least I don't have to carry a bunch of stuff around everywhere.

You can even pull out a skewer to eat anytime without any problem.

The next day, Liu Lang followed Lin Qiye to his aunt's house.

Seeing Lin Qiye secretly peeking out the window, Liu Lang advised, "If you really can't bear to leave, then come up with me! What's the point of just watching from here?"

"The captain and Qi Mo can go. I'm afraid if I go, I won't dare to come out again." Lin Qiye shook his head, seemingly very resistant to the idea.

"It's no use resisting anymore. We'll be starting intensive training in a month."

Even if you miss Aunt Yang then... you won't be able to come and see her." Liu Lang knew that after the Mortal God Realm disappeared, Aunt Yang would also disappear.

Even he, if he hadn't found a solution by the time the [Mortal Divine Realm] disappeared, would probably have been finished.

"We'll see. I've already written to my aunt and cousin that I'm taking the train to Qiqihar this morning... It's not a good time to go now." Lin Qiye certainly wanted to go back too.

but......

There was a brief silence in the air.

“Even if you’re going to wait, you should eat first. You’ve given all your salary and subsidies for the next year to your aunt. What are you going to do with yourself?” Liu Lang took out two meat buns from his pocket and handed them to Lin Qiye, saying, “I bought too many when I bought breakfast. I can’t eat them all. Here, have them.”

Seeing that there were still several buns in the bag in Liu Lang's hand, Lin Qiye didn't stand on ceremony with Liu Lang.

He took the bun Liu Lang had given him, took a bite, and explained, "I've saved up quite a bit of money over the years. If I'm careful with my spending, I can manage to get by for a year."

When Liu Lang came, it was to test the "food preservation" effect of the "traveler's backpack".

Under the shopkeeper's shocked gaze, I bought a whole steamer full of buns. I still have a lot in my backpack; I just took them out of my pocket to cover them up.

Not long after, Wen Qimo and Chen Muye came out of the building where Lin Qiye's aunt lived.

Upon seeing Chen Muye, Lin Qiye strode up to him and asked, "Captain, how is it?"

Chen Muye looked into Lin Qiye's eyes. "She believed it."

"That's good... So, has that money been paid?"

"Give it."

"Captain, you're treating me differently. When I came, I had to go to my parents myself to ask them to come... This time it's your turn, Lin Qiye, to come with Wen Qimo. This isn't fair!" Liu Lang saw that the atmosphere was a bit tense and wanted to lighten the mood, so he looked at Chen Muye with a resentful expression.

"Haha, you're going to fight for this too?" Chen Muye chuckled when he heard Liu Lang's words, and then said, "Your father's house is nearby. If you don't mind, we can go to your house right now. How does that sound?"

Lin Qiye is a special case; he can't wait any longer. But... Liu Lang isn't.

He knew all about Liu Lang's background; it was impossible for Liu Lang to have a deep relationship with such an incompetent father.

Therefore, Chen Muye wasn't afraid of Liu Lang saying "Okay".

At worst, he can "work overtime" and take the opportunity to meet the parents of his other new team member.

Anyway, the documents they provided were all genuine. Lin Qiye's document hadn't been issued yet, but Liu Lang's had already been issued.

Seeing that Chen Muyi didn't seem to be joking, Liu Lang quickly waved his hand and said, "Then it's alright... haha~ I think it's fine as it is."

Wen Qimo: "I told you not to be naughty, now you're behaving yourself?"

Liu Lang: "Alright, alright, we should go now."

Chen Muye: "Qiye, you've overspent a whole year's salary and subsidies and left them for them. What are you going to do?"

Lin Qiye: "I... I have money... If I use it sparingly, it should be fine."

Chen Muyi paused for a moment and then said, "If you're free, you can come to the firm for meals."

Liu Lang asked in surprise, "Aren't we temporary workers not provided with food and lodging?"

Lin Qiye also looked at Chen Muye in astonishment.

"They're temporary team members, not temporary workers," Chen Muyi corrected, then added, "Temporary team members don't get food and lodging, but..."

Liu Lang: "It doesn't matter what it's called, it all means the same thing."

Chen Muye: "But...except for the meals I cook myself."

Upon hearing Chen Muye's words, Lin Qiye couldn't help but smirk.

If the agency provides meals, then we can save some money... That way, we won't have to live so frugally this year.

"Ring ring—!" Lin Qiye's newly acquired cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Yes, it's me, Auntie."

"I'm sorry, Auntie... I was wrong."
