Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely-Chapter 77: The Useful Talent of the Enchanting Demon

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Useful Talent of the Enchanting Demon

"I’ve heard about the Town Defense Team. It’s said to be incredibly dangerous. Every year during the major invasions from the Demon Race, many people die. In my case, I’d probably just be cannon fodder!"

Weighing the two options Rosen had provided, Xu Qiangwei furrowed her delicate eyebrows and said, "But waiting for the redistribution of the Lord Awakening Stone takes too long. During this time, I can’t just do nothing. Besides, some people never get a second Awakening Stone in their entire life!"

So neither of these options was what Xu Qiangwei desired. Since becoming a lord and experiencing the rapid flow of money, she couldn’t tolerate pursuing an ordinary job.

Going from a millionaire’s life of easy income to earning a stagnant salary of three thousand a month—who would want that?

"I understand your thoughts. So, actually, you have a third option, which is to stay by my side and become my support. When I encounter strong enemies besieging me, I’d need you to use your charm skills to help me out."

Rosen expressed his opinion and touched the lucky dice in his pocket. The more allies, the better. Of course, trustworthy allies would also receive a certain degree of protection.

When establishing a guild in the future, these trusted allies could be recruited directly.

"Is there a payment involved?" Xu Qiangwei asked weakly.

If it were unpaid work, she certainly wouldn’t want to do it. It would be safer to find a job with a monthly salary of three thousand.

"Of course, there’s compensation. What are you thinking?" Rosen said, speechless. Did he look like the kind of capitalist who wouldn’t feed the donkey but still made it work?

"Could you tell me about the salary?" Xu Qiangwei asked weakly again.

Seeing this girl looking so obedient and afraid of being taken advantage of, and having lost her own territory, Rosen made an exception: "How about this? I’ll give you one thousand Lord Coins a month, just as if I’m taking care of you."

Hearing this, Xu Qiangwei blushed. What did taking care of mean? Was it what she thought it meant?

She felt her level was too low to dare to ask further.

One thousand Lord Coins a month is equivalent to one hundred thousand RMB, a negligible expense for Rosen, whose daily outdoor earnings had already reached five figures in Lord Coins.

Having an extra ally means more safety.

Taking Xu Qiangwei back to his territory, they met Rosen’s parents.

During this process, Xu Qiangwei always appeared in her hero form. Rosen’s parents merely thought she was a summoned troop by Rosen, thinking nothing more of it.

Because Rosen used the word "taking care," Xu Qiangwei was too embarrassed to show her human form in front of others to avoid misunderstandings.

Soon, Rosen arranged for her to be in the Undead Territory.

"I have three territories in this Lord World. The Undead Territory over there will temporarily be your residence." With that, he turned and headed back to the Naga Race territory.

Leaving Xu Qiangwei standing there dazed: "Can the big boss take me to the Undead Territory?"

Rosen had already walked away, ignoring her.

So Xu Qiangwei had to head alone toward the dark Undead Territory. Only upon entering the mist did she realize this territory was nothing short of hell.

Emaciated skeleton monks held their skulls twisted in painful cries, excessively obese butchers dragged intestines slowly along the ground, and towering pitch-black demons turned their heads three hundred sixty degrees to grin eerily at her...

Xu Qiangwei felt chills running down her spine, unwilling to stay even a moment longer, except when she reached the main city, did she finally feel a sense of security.

Upon reaching the Undead Race Main City, Xu Qiangwei opened the mutual aid passage, appearing in Rosen’s room.

"Is there something you need me for?" Rosen was playing a strategy war game in his room and looked up when he noticed someone appear.

"Big boss, I’m a bit scared staying alone in the Undead Race Main City. Can I chat with you for a bit?" Xu Qiangwei asked weakly.

Rosen nodded, conversing with her intermittently, quickly gathering some of her information.

Mainly, her hero had a talent for producing potion materials.

In the King’s Creation Platform’s drug classification, almost every medication required a component called pheromones, which could only be extracted from Enchanting Demons. The number of Enchanting Demons in the wild is limited, and there are few hero Enchanting Demons as well.

An Enchanting Demon can secrete five hundred milliliters of pheromones daily, enough to produce one thousand potions.

Xu Qiangwei, being an A-Grade Hero, secretes twice the pheromones of ordinary Enchanting Demons, able to produce two thousand potions.

By sharing this secret with Rosen, Xu Qiangwei hoped to gain more of his attention to avoid being easily discarded as cannon fodder.

"I checked the market prices, and the price of pheromones has skyrocketed. Every milliliter is worth over ten thousand Lord Coins."

Taking his eyes off the Lord Market, Rosen had a look of doubt: "You just need to sell your secreted pheromones to make a fortune—there’s no need to depend on me."

This was rather strange, and Rosen suspected Xu Qiangwei had an ulterior motive in agreeing to join his ranks.

If it wasn’t for monetary reasons, perhaps she needed a shield of protection.

"Big boss, you may not know, but not all Enchanting Demons can secrete pheromones. Only when... they’re in courtship... and feeling it can they secrete them."

As Xu Qiangwei said this, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"So, do you need me to find you a partner?" Rosen asked, his face looking odd.

Xu Qiangwei shook her head, "It’s useless. I have frigidity and can’t feel anything for any man, so the pheromone route is stalled. Even the lords who actively allied with me did so for the pheromones, but I ended up disappointing them."

"That’s indeed a complex issue. It’s as if you know of a treasure chest full of treasures but don’t have the key to open it," Rosen described.

He didn’t have the ability to change someone’s orientation, let alone adjust someone who was neither oriented nor disoriented.

Yet, at this moment, Xu Qiangwei unexpectedly raised her slender hands, her soft fingertips playfully touching Rosen’s arm, giving him goosebumps like an electric shock.

"Wait, didn’t you just say you have frigidity? What are you doing now?" Rosen asked Xu Qiangwei, puzzled.

"Nothing much, just testing to see if I could feel anything from you. It seems I can’t," Xu Qiangwei said, slightly awkward, before leaving the mutual aid passage.

Having just left, she returned to her room in the Undead Race Main City.

Xu Qiangwei patted her chest, feeling thrilled, and said, "I wonder if he believed what I said. Anyway, I think I managed to fool him. Wild Enchanting Demons indeed can secrete pheromones, but hero Enchanting Demons can’t. If I trick him, he’ll surely not casually treat me as cannon fodder, seeing as I still have potential use. Good, the talk went well!"

Xu Qiangwei feared being heartlessly abandoned, but in reality, she was overthinking it. With Rosen’s strength, he wouldn’t abandon an ally unless absolutely necessary.

Shortly after Xu Qiangwei left, Rosen checked the talents of an Enchanting Demon and found that they did indeed have the ability to secrete pheromones.

"It seems she didn’t lie to me. Enchanting Demons can indeed secrete pheromones. I’ve found a treasure."

Rosen spoke, and casually clicked on another piece of information.

"Demon Race’s Enchanting Demons have the ability to secrete pheromones, but hero Enchanting Demons don’t possess this talent."

After reading the information, Rosen’s face darkened.

"Trying to fool me, huh? We’ll see about that!"

"Wait, there’s another line below this information, what’s that..."

After reading the last part of the material, Rosen’s eyes lit up.
