A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: Chapter 786: Finding a Job Chapter 1144: Chapter 786: Finding a Job Night City.

Sleepless City.

Even in the dead of night, the streets were bustling with people walking about, and nobody noticed a hint of white blending into the crowd.

Duanmu Huai walked through the crowd, moving forward while discussing the action plan with Lumiaire.

“Our goal is to destroy this world, but how we destroy it isn't really important.”

“I don't quite understand what you mean, Great Judge.”

“You should already know that behind all this, someone indeed desires the destruction of humans, which is why they repeatedly jump between the past and the future. But at the same time, this also proves one point–that the enemy is extremely cautious and very weak.”

“Uh… weak?”

“Yes, if the Tribunal wanted to destroy this planet, they'd simply issue an Extinction Order, and for us, there's no need for silly maneuvers like going back in the past to change history, or projecting into the future to fix our course. It's like an adult entering a bar, just walk in. Only kids who get refused entry would find any way possible to sneak in, right?”

“So you mean, the opponent isn't very strong?”

“At least they don't have the strength to destroy humans, which is why they engage in such trivial mischief. Generally, criminals of this sort really dislike things slipping beyond their control. Suppose we can make the world's actions exceed their control, then they'll surely make a move, and at that point, just killing this idiot will resolve the issue.”

At this point, Duanmu Huai sneered coldly.

“He chose this future because it maximizes the limitation on a magician's strength. Indeed, for magicians, an era like this where magic cannot be used normally, and where ordinary people generally have heightened combat capabilities due to implants and modifications, is truly troublesome.”

Even for Reines and others, coming to an era where magic power is so weak that magic can barely be used, they probably wouldn't stand a chance against those modified freaks.

But on the other hand… this also pushes the opponent to their limits.

Duanmu Huai was full of confidence for this reason, and it was precisely because of this world.

Think about it, if Duanmu Huai's True God couldn't descend upon this world, it means this world itself is incredibly fragile. Likewise, the enemy also couldn't display much strength in this world without destroying it. Simply put, now Duanmu Huai and the opposing boss are like being locked in a huge iron cage; even if both parties have the power to destroy the cage, for the enemy boss, once this cage is destroyed, then they're definitely defeated.

So, in fact, Duanmu Huai has the upper hand.

After all, he doesn't use magic.

“So what's next?”

“Get a job.”

“A job?”

“Yes, first we need local intelligence. Since our appearance here implies that this city is important to that guy, we've already collected some information from the internet, but what we really need is more dynamic data; interpersonal relationships, intelligence, and potential points of conflict. These aren't things you can just gather online.”

“Hmm? Why are you silent?”

Noticing that Lumiaire had fallen silent, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows in confusion.

“No, how should I put it… To be honest, Great Judge, you don't really come across as someone who would be so familiar with these kinds of things.”

“It's just because we don't normally need to resolve issues this way.”

In response to Lumiaire's remark, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

“The Judge's mission is to eradicate aliens, heretics, and demons. Of course, most of the time when dealing with demons and aliens, we just kill them outright, but heretics are different; flushing out heretics hidden among the people isn't as simple as just calling for a burning at the stake, of course, I'm not denying that most of the time I prefer a simpler solution.”

“Does looking for a job count? By the way, what job are you thinking of getting?”

“Didn't you find online that there's a profession of mercenaries in this world? Perfect, I plan to find a broker and sign up as a mercenary.”

“Whom do you plan to find?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's response, Lumiaire slightly furrowed his brows.

“Based on the information I found online, being a mercenary in this city isn't easy; you not only need someone's recommendation to join, but it's also impossible to get noticed by major brokers when you're just starting out, and smaller brokers might rip you off…”

“No need to make it so complicated.”

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

“Job searching is a mutual recruitment; others choose me, and I choose others–well, perfect, we're here.”

As he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai stopped walking, lifted his head, and looked ahead. In front of him, there was a large door with security checks, with a staircase extending downward into the dim light.

“What's this place?”

“Next Life Night Club. Didn't you say it's filled with the most impressive brokers in Night City? If I'm looking, naturally, I'll look for the best.”

“So what now?”

“You'll see.”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he adjusted his glasses and continued down the stairs. The automatic door silently opened, and immediately, a wave of loud music mixed with the smell of smoke hit him, causing Duanmu Huai to slightly scrunch his eyebrows.
