Chapter 675: Rumors Stop at the Source, But They Just Won't Stop!
The Gourmet God! Even the Gourmet God is here!
As Lyon observed his surroundings, the cleaners, as part of the 'environment', were also observing him.
Among them, those who had participated in the previous promotion assessment and had been 'invited' to party inside Lyon's stomach, instantly fell ill when his kind gaze swept over them.
They gasped, their faces paled, and their bodies trembled.
Over thirty cleaners, like a team performing a synchronized exercise, almost simultaneously went through this three-step illness routine. Then, without wasting a moment, they hurriedly retreated, leaving a large empty space around Lyon in just two breaths.
"..."
They're done for, completely done for.
Seeing the cleaners lose their resistance to Lyon's mere glance, the Archer Director, sitting cross-legged on the stone, couldn't help but grimace.
The Sagittarius Palace highly valued the trait of 'Bravery'—sharp, focused, fearless, and always ready to sacrifice and face challenges head-on. These were the qualities they sought.
The fact that these cleaners were chosen by the Sagittarius Palace proved they possessed these qualities, and the Archer Director could sense their sharp and piercing souls in their eyes.
However, despite their decent qualities, just a glance from Lyon dulled their once sharp and focused willpower by more than half. It seemed that half of the candidates for the Sagittarius Palace's selection could be eliminated right then and there.
Hmm... But this is not necessarily bad.
The Archer Director narrowed her eyes, surveying the cleaners. Among the group of cowards, she spotted a strong figure standing tall, unyielding to Lyon's intimidating presence. Their posture was like a sturdy pine, and their white attire shone like snow. The Archer Director couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Not everyone was a lost cause; there was still someone who dared to face Lyon head-on.
After all, there was only one director position, and those who were intimidated by a mere glance were never truly sharp to begin with. Their arrogance and recklessness were merely products of their limited experience and low caliber. So, let them be eliminated.
Only someone like her, fearless from within, with a truly sharp and resilient soul, was worthy of shouldering the responsibilities of the Sagittarius Palace and becoming the last guardian of humanity!
"Hmm?"
Just as the Archer Director was carefully examining this defiant figure, considering her as a significant candidate for the assessment, Lyon also seemed to notice her uniqueness and walked over with a cheerful smile.
"Senior Abigail, you've been chosen by the Sagittarius Palace too!"
Abigail...
The Level One Cleaner from the Scorpio Division, known as the 'Filth-Removal Maiden', Abigail? The Archer Director recalled the name, and her eyes gleamed with appreciation.
Not only had Abigail become a Level One Cleaner at such a young age, but she could also maintain her self even under the corrosion of Lyon's fear power that permeated the air. She truly lived up to the high recommendation of the Scorpio Director, Edward, who had found an exceptional candidate!
As the Archer Director's appreciative gaze fell on Abigail, dressed in white, she ignored Lyon's greeting. Her feet firmly planted on the ground, she slowly turned around, her posture straight as an arrow. Then, with a proud expression, she called out to the nearest cleaner:
"Quick... Help me up, my... my legs are cramped!"
"..."
Oh, come on... Didn't we already explain about the last time?
Watching as Abigail was carried away by her Scorpio Division colleagues, Lyon's smile froze, mirroring a certain director's expression.
Past the Promotion Exam, I didn't have time to chat with Yang Bian about her whip. Seeing her here at the Zodiac Selection, I was planning to network, but it seems like that's not happening...
...
Phew... At least I don't have to face him...
As Lyon glanced at her with a hint of resentment, Abigail, now supported by others and away from the overwhelming fear, breathed a sigh of relief.
Lyon seemed even more intimidating than before.
Despite knowing the Archer Director was nearby and wouldn't let him go crazy, when he approached her, his familiar aura enveloped her, and her mind went blank.
Especially when he smiled at her, she saw a vision, as if returning to that terrifying moment of being swallowed whole, waiting helplessly for death. She froze, almost making a scene.
"Thank you..."
Abigail, filled with gratitude, looked at her supporter and sincerely said, "If it weren't for you just now, I would have embarrassed myself."
"No problem!" The small-chested, big-eyed female cleanser, who had helped Abigail, smiled sweetly and shook her pigtails, saying, "I just lent you a hand, I didn't really do much... Oh, and!"
Noticing Lyon approaching the center of the square to chat with the Archer Director, the petite cleanser curiously asked, "Who is that beautiful lady? Why does everyone seem afraid of him?"
That person...
Abigail shuddered at the question, then replied with a complex expression, "That person is a cleanser from the Virgin District Office, probably the strongest below the Commissioner. We call him the Gourmet God..."
Gourmet God?
The female cleanser's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in disbelief, "So, does that mean he cooks delicious food?"
"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!" Abigail interrupted, seeing the eagerness in the petite cleanser's expression. "His nickname doesn't refer to his cooking skills, but to his appetite. When he's in a rush, he eats anything, even people!"
"More than half of the cleansers here, including me, participated in the last promotion exam. If the Archer Director hadn't arrived in time, we would have all been eaten by him!"
"Ah?!?!"
It seemed the story of the promotion exam was getting more complicated...
Feeling the increasing intensity of fear behind him, Lyon fell silent. He temporarily abandoned the idea of networking with other 'students' and instead sat down in a position closest to the Archer Director, crossing his legs.
Oh well, I can talk to Yang Bian later. For now, the Archer Secret Technique is more important.
Although I was selected by the Five Palaces, the Taurus Secret Art might not be suitable, the Crab Secret Art is a bit disgusting, and the Aquarius and Pisces Secret Arts are more supportive.
So, the Archer Secret Art, which can enhance anomalies and directly increase combat power, might be the best choice for me. I must pay close attention to this lecture!
