As soon as they stepped in, after a dizzy spell, Zhang Mu and Ling arrived at the Jiyuan Store.

Still in the boundless blue sky, Zhang Mu quickly came to his senses, and with a tremble of his hand, he let go of Ling, who had not used much strength. Ling was now shocked by the vast starry sky. Not to mention that it was the first time he had seen it, even the Epoch Agent he devoured had not seen this method of No. 37 because he was ranked too low in the order, so he ignored Zhang Mu's existence and was only concerned with appreciating the majesty of the starry sky.

But the sound that followed woke him up, and he slowly turned his head towards the direction where the sound came from.

"No. 001, why did you arrive early? There should still be some time before the next transaction."

At this time, Ling was also looking at this man who suddenly appeared and exuded an elegant and noble aura.

"I should have told you that you can't come back here early during trading hours. Although I didn't tell you the specific punishment, given your personality, you wouldn't be so forgetful and not take it to heart."

The voice of No. 37 was like the sound of nature to Zhang Mu's ears. He suppressed his emotions and said, "I'll remember it, but please take a look at the people I brought with me."

At this time, No. 37 seemed to notice Ling following Zhang Mu. He frowned and said, "It is a taboo for agents to bring people into the Jiyuan Store at will. Although you are the first-ranked merchant and have the opportunity to recommend others to fill the vacancy, I don't think I told you."

It turned out that Zhang Mu did not cheat him. As the first-ranked agent of Jiyuan, he really had the qualifications and power to recommend others. Ling's tense strength finally relaxed.

"But you brought it all. So, are you sure it was him who used up your only chance?"

At this time, No. 37 and Zero both looked at the silent Zhang Mu. One was asking questions, and the other was indeed a little excited, because he was only one step away from becoming the agent of the Era Merchant, and all that mattered was Zhang Mu's words.

Time paused for two seconds. What both of them did not expect was that Zhang Mu actually snorted coldly, looked up at Ling and smiled.

When Ling saw Zhang Mu's expression, he realized something was wrong. He was about to use his mental power to control

He wanted to stay with Zhang Mu, but found that he seemed to have lost all his strength and was no different from an ordinary person.

In the face of Ling's panicked and nervous eyes, Zhang Mu still said words that made him completely despair.

"This is the man who killed one of your agents."

Zhang Mu's words immediately turned No. 37's eyes cold. His face was extremely gloomy, and his gaze towards Ling became serious.

"Don't listen to him, he did it on purpose." Having lost all his strength, Ling seemed to be in a depressed mood. Seeing Zhang Mu looking at him with a smile, he couldn't suppress his emotions anymore. He ignored the fact that he was just a middle-aged man in his early forties with an average body and rushed directly towards Zhang Mu.

However, Zhang Mu had no intention of dodging at all, because the moment Zero pounced on him, he was controlled by No. 37 with a wave of his big hand, and was firmly clamped together with two stars.

Zhang Mu was actually taking a gamble, because he didn't know whether Zero would attack humans, even if he didn't challenge the bottom line of the Epoch Store and just killed an evolver who was an Epoch agent.

Number 37 did not pay any attention to Zhang Mu. Instead, he summoned a star and scanned Ling's body several times. His brows were furrowed for a while, and then he looked as if he suddenly realized something. He, who had no interest in Ling at first, instantly became interested.

At this moment, Zhang Mu became tormented. What if No. 37 saw Zero's potential and recruited him into the ranks of Jiyuan's agent merchants? What would happen after he left?

Zhang Mu originally wanted to use the Epoch Merchants to solve this problem for himself, but he suddenly found that the problem was not that simple. Although he knew that Zero had killed one of his Epoch Agent Merchants, if No. 37 valued his talent and took him under his command, he would probably have no way out after he got out.

However, luck seemed to be on Zhang Mu's side. No. 37 sighed regretfully, but clenched his right fist mercilessly and squeezed the planet that was just sandwiched between Zero. Zero was crushed into powder. Amid his miserable screams, his flesh and blood melted into the two planets, staining the surface red.

Zhang Mu was swallowing his saliva the whole time. He didn't know why Thirty-Seven was saying, "Is it?

It's strange, why this human should be the top one among your evolvers now, and I just happen to be short of agents, why not use him. "No. 37 looked at Zhang Mu with a very sharp look, as if he needed Zhang Mu to give him an explanation for using him.

Zhang Mu was still immersed in Ling's death and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"One, he killed my Era Agent. Originally, I would not interfere with whether you could survive in this Blissful Era, but after this man killed one, I only have two Era Agents under my command. This means that, apart from you, only the second-in-command is still alive."

Sensing the hostility in No. 37's tone, Zhang Mu asked, "Where are the others?"

"When the beast tide broke out in Luoyang City, two New Era dealers died outside my New Era store."

Zhang Mu now understood why No. 37 was so furious at that time. It turned out that he had directly lost two Epoch Agent merchants in that beast tide. No wonder the Epoch Merchants who had never been seen leaning towards either side would actually kill mutant beasts in large numbers. Now, Zhang Mu finally figured it out.

"As for the other reason, although this person's current strength is much greater than yours, he will soon no longer be human, so the Epoch Store will not recognize his identity by then. Then, there is no point in me accepting him now."

So that's how it is. It seems that Zero's existence will soon be out of the scope of human beings. No matter how powerful he is, he will not be qualified to become an agent of Epoch. Zhang Mu looked relieved, as if he felt that the biggest problem had been solved.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because there was something wrong with the look in No. 37's eyes when he looked at him.

"Let's do some calculations now, shall we?"

Zhang Mu had a bitter face and was speechless. As he listened to what No. 37 said, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Enter the Epoch Store in advance and deduct ten gold leaves."

"Use the labor fee and mental damage compensation I provided, and deduct ten gold leaves."

No. 37 and Zhang Mu's expressions seemed to have been exchanged, and they spoke with smiles in their eyes.

"There are 20 gold leaves in total. How do you want to pay now or in installments?"
