Lower town.
In a simple yet spacious meeting room, several people were already sitting together.
The expressions on these people's faces were all stern without exception.
At the same time, there is also a bit of entanglement.
Everyone lowered their heads, looking as if they were worried about something.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three claps broke the silent atmosphere.
Xu Ben sat at the back of the table and drew everyone's attention to himself with the sound of clapping.
"You guys are all powerful figures in the Lower City. Now you're behaving like this, it's really unbecoming!"
To say that Xu Ben's words is not an exaggeration at all.
Except for himself, all the people present here have a starting point of Thousand Souls.
Guan Shanyue, Ma Yuxiang, Bai Qiming, Lu Yuan, and Geerlan.
There is no need to say much about these people. Just revealing their names is enough to shock others.
In addition, veteran strongmen such as Mok and Semp have also arrived.
It can be said that anyone who has a little prestige in the lower city and is considered strong will be called over by Xu Ben.
The lower city has now become stable, and after the [prison gate] is opened, these people will stay here most of the time.
Although I can't go up, but look...
It should be possible, right?
And when they heard that Wen Xiuyuan had already come up with a research direction on taking the spirit servants to the upper city, their expectations for the upper city grew day by day.
It is hard to imagine that these bigwigs in the lower city are like children waiting for adults to bring back gifts, eagerly waiting for news every day.
Just a few hours ago, Xu Ben returned from the [Prison Gate].
Even though he knew that Xu Ben was not a researcher and that his return was not necessarily on Wen Xiuyuan's orders, Lu Yuan, who was sitting at the door, couldn't help but get excited.
"Brother Daben!"
Even though Lu Yuan is now at the high level [Thousand Souls Level] and Xu Ben doesn't even have a spirit servant, the relationship and way they address each other have never changed.
"Lu Lao Er."
When he saw Lu Yuan, Xu Ben's mood immediately improved.
Xu Ben has liked this guy since he joined the "Wild Dog House".
He always felt that this child was festive.
"Waiting for brother?"
"That's right!"
Lu Yuan also said sweetly: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I always feel that something good might happen today."
"No problem."
Xu Ben put his arm around Lu Yuan's shoulders and said, "I didn't encounter any good things, but I did meet a good person, which is the same!"
“Yes, yes!”
Lu Yuan followed Xu Ben towards the camp: "Brother, why did you come down here suddenly? Is there something going on up there?"
"You want to ask about Uncle Wen's research progress?"
Xu Ben reacted extremely quickly.
Lu Yuan wasn't embarrassed either. Instead, he leaned closer to Xu Ben and whispered, "Brother Daben, is it Uncle Wen who forbids you from speaking? Talk to me first. I promise I won't sue anyone. Aren't we family? I should have some privileges, right?"
Looking at Lu Yuan's despicable look, Xu Ben didn't answer him directly.
"Let's get Uncle Guan and the others here. I'll announce the news in front of everyone."
After a pause, Xu Ben added, "By the way, gather all those above the Thousand Souls level."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan could guess with his heels that Wen Xiuyuan must have made a breakthrough in technology.
By calling so many of them to the meeting, maybe we can put the matter of going to the city on the agenda this time.
It turns out that Lu Yuan is not the only one who thinks this way.
Everyone who got the news rushed here as fast as they could.
Just when everyone was excited, Xu Ben finally told them the purpose of his trip.
After hearing this, everyone's excited expressions were still there, but they couldn't be happy at all.
This time, Xu Ben came down to decide in advance who would be the first to "sacrifice" his spiritual servant and go to Ning Fan's body to meet Li Tiandao.
The current atmosphere was also within Xu Ben's expectations.
After all, those who stayed here were reluctant to leave their spirit servants.
With the opportunity to move up right in front of us, who would be willing to give up at this time?
However, Xu Ben is confident that someone will stand up.
Because this is not simply giving up the spirit servant, but for Ning Fan and for the entire lower city.
There is no shortage of people who know the big picture in this room.
“Is there a risk?”
The first to speak was Guan Shanyue: "I'm not talking about my spirit servant, but Ning Fan."
As the number one person in the lower city, Guan Shanyue didn't dare to say how selfless he was, but when it came to major issues, he was indeed the one who had the courage to stand up.
If nothing unexpected happened in the lower city, Guan Shanyue would even step forward himself, inherit Li Jiushan's mantle, and continue to guard the top wall.
"I have no idea."
Xu Ben spoke frankly: "Uncle Wen said that this was Luo Lin's idea, but I think since Uncle Wen can accept it, it means that even if there are risks, they should be within the controllable range, right? After all, an old man can't joke with his own son-in-law's life, right?"
Guan Shanyue frowned and nodded, but there was still hesitation in his eyes.
Everyone knows that the moment they agree, it means that they may be excluded from the ranks of the strong in the future.
However, just when Guan Shanyue finally made up his mind, two voices sounded at the same time.
"Let me do it."
"I'll do it."
Everyone looked at the two people who were talking.
Lu Yuan, Bai Qiming.
The two of them looked at each other with obvious surprise.
Normally, this kind of thing is not a good thing, and it requires a lot of determination. They probably didn't expect the other party to agree so decisively.
"Brother Bai, don't fight with me."
Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with reluctance. "If it weren't for Brother Fan, my sister and I would have died in the F70 area long ago. For so many years, I've been hanging at the back of the team like a burden, and I haven't achieved any decent results."
"In addition, it is because everyone has allocated resources to me that I have become what I am today. It was because Uncle Wen chose me that Lu Yuan is what he is today."
"No matter who it is, I feel a debt of gratitude. After I truly gained strength, I found that I had few opportunities to display it."
"I didn't go to the upper city at the beginning because I wanted to preserve my strength. When I really get there, I can help Brother Fan."
"But now it seems that if I don't take this step, I may not even have the chance to help in the future."
Lu Yuan looked at Xu Ben with a sincere look in his eyes: "Let me do it."
Xu Ben dared to say that he had guessed long ago that Lu Yuan would definitely give up his spirit servant for Ning Fan.
This kid hasn't changed even after gaining the strength of the advanced [Thousand Souls Level].
However, just when Xu Ben was about to nod and finalize the matter, Bai Qiming stopped him.
"I have my reasons, too."
