"Alright."
Jin Quan looked at the red-haired man and said, "Zhao Yan, I understand your point, but everyone starts as a novice. If we can take care of each other a bit more, we should.
Just like when I first joined the association, many people didn’t want to team up with me after knowing my superpower. Even those who did were mostly looking to use me as a meat shield. Several times, I almost died, and they immediately abandoned me. But later,"
Jin Quan’s eyes showed gratitude, "I met the Moonlight Squad. They genuinely treated me as a comrade. Because of them, I grew from a rookie to a near C-level Awakener,
and Gu Ze reminded me of my past self, so I wanted to take care of him. Maybe one day he will surprise us?"
"Exactly, exactly!" The petite woman quickly echoed.
The red-haired man and the tall, thin man exchanged a glance, seemingly compromising.
"Alright, since the captain says so, we can’t object. But captain, if you want this guy to join us, it won’t be easy. At the very least, his strength must be acknowledged by us."
"Exactly, we don’t want someone who is always marginalized. Old Qin, what do you say?"
The tall, thin man looked at the man who hadn’t said a word from the beginning.
"I’m fine with it."
The latter said.
"Alright."
Jin Quan smiled, "I’ll mention it to him later. But you also need to give him a chance to grow, right? It’s his first time out, asking him to hunt high-level Fierce Beasts might be too demanding."
"Exactly, exactly."
The petite woman repeated.
The red-haired man pursed his lips.
He had already decided; if this guy named Gu Ze doesn’t become a D-level Awakener, he will firmly oppose his joining.
They continued walking forward, and as the sky began to darken, Jin Quan glanced at the time and said, "Let’s call it a day. It’s getting late, and lingering here might be dangerous."
The rest nodded, faces brimming with smiles.
Today’s earnings weren’t bad.
Going back, each person would earn at least five to six hundred points.
Gu Ze was also envious.
But he was self-aware; he wasn’t yet capable of hunting high-level Fierce Beasts, and even mid-level Fierce Beasts would be challenging to shoot.
"Xiaogu, tomorrow we rest. If you have time, join me to hunt mid-level Fierce Beasts."
"What?"
"Captain?"
"Brother Jin?"
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned.
Even Gu Ze himself was rooted to the spot.
"Haha, I brought you out today to build your courage. You’ve seen, so-called high-level Fierce Beasts are just like that."
Jin Quan laughed, "But with your current strength, hunting high-level Fierce Beasts might still be difficult. So, let’s start with mid-level Fierce Beasts. When you feel comfortable hunting them, you can join us in hunting high-level ones."
"Captain..."
The red-haired man didn’t know what to say.
Is it worth it?
To foster this guy, the captain was willing to waste cultivation time and even prepare a special training session with mid-level Fierce Beasts? The cost-effectiveness was too low!
"Brother Jin, I..." Gu Ze was touched and didn’t know what to say.
"If you have time, let’s settle this. Meet me at the association’s entrance tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, alright, thank you, Brother Jin." Gu Ze responded quickly.
During his days at the association, he had sought out several squads, but was always rejected. Just when he thought he would have to hunt alone, the top Crescent Squad agreed to his request, and had been taking good care of him.
"No problem, we help each other."
Jin Quan smiled, "Alright, let’s head back."
The group headed towards Wang City.
Their speed was quick; within fifteen minutes they saw the city’s outline.
Showing their identification, they entered the city under the admiring gaze of guards, and proceeded to the Awakened Association hall.
"Hey, Old Jin is back?"
Seeing Jin Quan, someone immediately greeted him warmly, "How was the harvest?"
"Not too bad."
Jin Quan replied with a smile.
"Really? Last time you said that, you completed several tasks, and each person got a thousand points."
"Exactly, Old Jin, your Crescent Squad’s combat power is top-notch in our association. Don’t be overly modest, it borders on arrogance."
"Seriously, it’s not much. Let’s go submit the tasks first." Jin Quan smiled and walked towards the back.
Seeing this, the crowd also smiled, but as their gaze fell on Gu Ze at the back of the group, their eyes filled with surprise.
What’s going on?
Isn’t this guy the new Strength-type Awakener?
Did he join Crescent Squad?
No way!
Feeling the pressure, Gu Ze, seeing the rear courtyard approaching, stepped forward and softly said, "Brother Jin, thank you for today’s care. I’ll head off now."
After all, the rest would be dividing rewards, and he, an outsider, would only feel awkward staying.
Jin Quan paused, then smiled, "Alright, I’ll call you tomorrow."
"Okay."
Gu Ze thanked him again and left, walking alone towards his lodging.
"This kid knows his place." The red-haired man muttered.
Back at his lodging, Gu Ze sighed.
Thinking of others earning a large amount of points, he couldn’t help but feel envious.
"If I work hard, one day I’ll have lots of points, and my strength won’t stay at D-level. I’ll become a C-level, perhaps even an A-level or S-level Awakener!"
Sitting on the bed, Gu Ze clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, Chen Fan’s image appeared in his mind.
His fist slowly relaxed, and he muttered, "I wonder how Chen Fan is doing right now?"
Thinking of this, he sighed again.
Chen Fan was a Martial Artist. The arduous path of a Martial Artist was far more challenging than that of an Awakener.
Just like that Violent Bear.
Crescent Squad members could easily inflict deadly injuries on it.
But a Martial Artist? According to Uncle Zhang, even a Transforming Force Martial Artist, using heavy firepower, would still struggle to kill a high-level Fierce Beast, not to mention using cold weapons.
It’s said that only when a Martial Artist reaches the Meridian Refining Realm can they truly battle high-level Fierce Beasts.
Chen Fan left the village last time as a Transforming Force Martial Artist, right? I wonder if he has reached the Meridian Refining Realm now.
"I need to work harder myself, not pinning all hopes on Chen Fan alone."
With this thought, Gu Ze felt a surge of power throughout his body.
At that moment, a figure appeared outside Wang City, looked up at the two big characters on the city wall. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"This is the place."
Chen Fan, or rather Li Ping, muttered.
He had sent Gu Ze a message upon arrival, but hadn’t received a reply yet.
"Did he go hunting?"
Chen Fan thought.
It’s late now; if he went hunting, he should’ve returned.
"Let’s perceive first."
He focused his mind, activating Celestial Response.
Instantly, more than ten thousand strands of aura became clear.
"There are actually around ten C-level Awakeners here?"
Chen Fan was slightly surprised.
Compared to Anshan City’s five or six, this place had about double.
However, this city was located on a flat plain, without terrain protection, so stronger guard forces were expected.
Next, he sensed a very familiar aura.
"Seems like I arrived at the right time."
Chen Fan smiled slightly and then headed into the city.
In no time, he arrived across the street from the Awakened Association, took out his phone, and called Gu Ze.
However, after several attempts, no one answered.
"Did this guy put his phone in space items?"
Chen Fan sighed.
A phone in space items is basically in an alternate space, thus no signal.
No choice.
He put away his phone and walked towards the association hall.
Originally, he didn’t want to cause a commotion and intended to quietly take Gu Ze away, but now it seemed unrealistic.
Hopefully, no one recognizes me.
Even if recognized, he wasn’t afraid.
Walking into the hall, dozens of gazes turned towards him. Initially, they were normal glances, but then many brows furrowed.
This person looks familiar, like they’ve seen him somewhere. But where?
Chen Fan ignored it and walked straight to the counter.
"Hello, sir, may I help you?" The counter lady asked with a smile.
"Please call someone for me: Gu Ze. I have business with him."
Chen Fan said directly.
"Gu Ze? Alright, sir, please wait a moment." The lady typed quickly, found Gu Ze’s name, then looked up and smiled, "Sir, could you please show your ID? Otherwise, according to our rules, it’s difficult to notify him."
Chen Fan placed his membership card on the counter.
"Li Ping?"
The lady squinted, searched the database, then widened her eyes, even holding her breath.
This man was not only a C-level Awakener but also the chairman of Anshan City Awakened Association!
My god!
Her mind buzzed. A chairman-level figure was here personally!
This could alarm Chairman Su!
As the name left her lips, the other Awakeners in the hall were shocked.
Li, Li Ping?
Li Ping!
Many exchanged glances; no wonder he looked familiar. He was the one who recently caused a stir at Stone City Awakened Association?
"Li Ping, no, Chairman Li. Please wait a moment. I-I’ll notify Gu Ze right away." The lady stammered, wishing she could slap herself.
This man was on par with her own chairman! How could she have been so casual?
"Alright, quickly."
Chen Fan retrieved his card and nodded.
Everyone around, whether recognizing him or not, wore expressions of extreme shock upon hearing the title.
Li, Chairman Li?
This man is a branch office’s chairman?
For real?
