Chapter 362: Chapter 0361: Name Shakes (Part 1)_1
“You don’t know where Hunter Bodyguard Company is?”
Ye Xiong thought about it, and that made sense, the company had only been established for less than two months—it would be strange if others knew about it.
Just as he was about to tell the other party the address, the bar owner, both surprised and delighted, said, “So you’re from Hunter Bodyguard Company, no wonder you’re so impressive.”
“You know about Hunter Bodyguard Company?”
“I guess now there are not many people who don’t know about this company.”
The bar owner spoke with a face full of respect, explaining, “Half a month ago, the police reached a strategic cooperation with Hunter Bodyguard Company for a sweeping operation, hitting hard on our city’s crime syndicates, uprooting over a dozen big and small gangs… Who doesn’t know of Hunter Bodyguard Company’s fame now?”
“Previously, every time there was a major crackdown, these gangs would hide very well, playing guerrilla with the police. Once the police left, they’d resurface. But this time, no one knows where the police got their information, but all members from over a dozen gangs, big and small, were caught without a single one left.”
“I heard that someone from Hunter Bodyguard Company is exceptionally outstanding in intelligence gathering. It’s because of that intelligence the police were able to catch them all in one fell swoop.”
They must be talking about Chen Xiao, other than this former National Security Bureau intelligence operative, who else could have such ability?
“Not just intelligence, but the people of that company are all incredibly skilled. When they surrounded the Beach Gang, the boss, relying on his quick blade skills that he had practiced for over a decade, was boasting and talking tough. Who knew that a woman from Hunter Bodyguard Company would come out and take him down in a few moves, sending him rolling in urine and feces, so suave.”
“I saw that too, that woman was freaking cool, just no boobs, or else she’d be a goddess.”
In Hunter Bodyguard Company, the only flat-chested one was Vermilion Bird.
Speaking of Hunter Bodyguard Company, the bar suddenly became abuzz with chatter, everyone talking animatedly.
It seemed that this joint operation of Hunter Bodyguard Company with the police to crack down on crime was incredibly powerful; otherwise, so many wouldn’t be aware of it.
“Do you guys know who the boss of Hunter Bodyguard Company is, how come they are so formidable?” a customer asked curiously.
“I heard it’s a foreign mercenary emperor.”
“It’s clearly a hitman, rumored to be on the international killer list.”
“Bullshit, would the police cooperate with someone on the killer list? I think it’s highly likely an offspring of national leadership, backed by power.”
A group of people, arguing noisily.
Ye Xiong coughed once. Rather than saying those customers were intimidated by the name of Hunter Bodyguard Company, it was more like Ye Xiong himself was scared to death.
He Mengji was truly a natural strategist; in such a short time, the company’s reputation had spread throughout Jiangnan.
If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, Ye Xiong would have thought he was hearing things.
Was this really his company?
Wasn’t it just a small company with fifty or sixty people? Were they really that impressive?
Who was the company’s boss?
Wasn’t he just a guy who spent all day trying to pick up girls, talked about as if he were a celestial being descending to earth?
“Ever since Hunter Bodyguard Company appeared, Jiangnan City’s overall economic environment has improved a lot. I used to need five or six bouncers, but now two is enough,” the bar owner said.
“I had a friend who invested here before and was swindled by gangs out of several million, scaring him off. Now that he hears the environment has improved, he’s planning to invest again,” another customer interjected.
“I heard the city has already proposed to the province to apply for a ‘Safe and Civilized City’ recognition. I think this time it will definitely happen,” another customer said.
Surrounded by these men who had been drinking and were easily excited, Ye Xiong couldn’t get a word in even if he wanted to.
“Remember to come to the company for the money tomorrow,” Ye Xiong reminded the owner.
Business was not easy, and Ye Xiong didn’t want to make him lose money.
“Who should I look for when I go there tomorrow?” the bar owner asked.
“Just look for me, on the third floor.”
After Ye Xiong finished speaking, he left with Luo Weiwei, the place was just too noisy.
Stepping out of the bar, Ye Xiong looked at Luo Weiwei: “Have you fallen for it, going to bars like this now?”
Isn’t it because of you?
That sentence almost slipped out of Luo Weiwei’s mouth.
She released Ye Xiong’s hand, brushed her forehead hair aside, and said, “I’m so bored, I could only drink.”
“Where did you get the balls from?” Ye Xiong couldn’t help but tease, “You should say you’re bored as hell.”
“I’ve never seen someone as disgusting as you,” Luo Weiwei cursed.
However, this feeling was quite familiar; Ye Xiong used to be just as heartless.
“Why did you cut your hair short? It doesn’t look as good as before,” Ye Xiong said regrettably.
“Starting over.”
The poignant four words allowed Ye Xiong to understand her inner world.
It seemed he also understood why she came to the bar.
Alcohol can make people forget many things, forget some people.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiong’s heart softened, and he couldn’t help reaching for her hand.
Luo Weiwei tried to shake it off a few times but ended up letting him hold it.
They walked hand in hand like this, walking along the busy street, stepping into the night.
Between a man and a woman, once the final barrier is crossed, the relationship indeed becomes delicate.
This is a magical Beastmaster World called “Blue Star.”
Over two thousand years ago, when Blue Star developed two moons, the world saw the birth of Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists.
Becoming a Guardian Beastmaster, obtaining the qualifications of Beastmaster’s Space, one could contract with and fight alongside awakened Demon Beasts.
Those who couldn’t become Guardian Beastmasters had the chance to awaken as Star Martial Artists, absorbing Star Power and practicing Martial Arts.
However, Star Martial Artists are far inferior to Guardian Beastmasters.
Here, it is the world of Guardian Beasts!
This is the era of Guardian Beasts!
Every year on this day, two hundred thousand young men and women are transported to this world by the “Mist.”
Two hundred thousand people are randomly selected and scattered across the world.
This is the Guidance Plaza outside East Sea City in Tang Country.
Currently, there are twenty thousand people at the Guidance Plaza.
Next, these twenty thousand people will undergo “Awakening Guidance” in batches.
Through the Awakening Guidance, they may awaken their talents and become Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists.
After the Awakening Guidance is completed, whether awakened or not, everyone must collect cold weapons such as swords and participate in a trial; the trial is…
To stay in the wilderness jungle outside the square for three days and three nights!
Those who survive three days later have passed the trial!
Teams are allowed, but each team must not exceed four members.
Those who pass the trial, whether as Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists, can directly enter one of the three major academies in East Sea City to train in Beast Mastery and Martial Arts.
Those who did not awaken talents but passed the trial can get a second chance for Awakening.
Whether transported here or born on Blue Star, everyone only has two chances to awaken in their lifetime.

If, after undergoing the life-and-death trial, the second Awakening Guidance still does not awaken any talents…
Then these people must work as Miners in the mines outside East Sea City for three years before they can enter East Sea City to live.
This rule applies to the main cities of all countries on Blue Star.
“What? Even if I awaken talent, I still have to participate in this life and death trial!”
“The wilderness jungle outside has trees towering over three hundred feet, who knows what kind of monsters are inside? Providing us only with cold weapons like swords, how can we possibly defeat them?”
“Even if you had guns, what good would they be? You see that giant ant, do you think ordinary guns can kill it? And that King Kong… the King Kong from King Kong’s Skull Island, it has destroyed several fighter jets!”
“Damn, they even restrict the team size to four people! If we encounter these four horrifying Demon Beasts at once, even if all four of us were carrying rocket launchers, we might still not stand a chance!”
In the square, noise and panic arose once more.
People were alarmed and at a loss.
But the giant Black Ape whispered a quiet roar, and all the noise vanished instantly.
In this Different World, rules are made by the strong!
Surviving well in this world is not easy.
Without bargaining chips, without value, without strength, you are merely dust.
Many people calmed down after the Black Ape’s roar.
“Alright!”
The woman on the shoulder of the twenty-meter-tall Black Ape gently waved her hand and said, “I believe you all roughly understand your situation now and know where this place is… This is Tang Country, East Sea City!”
“After the Awakening Guidance is completed, we will give each of you a Smart wristwatch to wear on your wrist. It is a combination of a mobile phone and a computer, and you can connect to the network using that device to access a lot of information you may want to know.”
At this moment, a young man mustered the courage to ask, “After the Awakening Guidance, can we choose not to participate in the trial?”
“If we still cannot awaken as Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists after trying the trial, can we choose not to work as Miners?”
The woman on the Black Ape’s shoulder started laughing, “You cannot choose not to participate. Those unwilling to participate will be killed on the spot!”
“Killed on the spot…” The previously speaking young man was greatly startled.
The woman continued, “Of course, after partaking in the trial, you can choose not to work as a Miner.”
“If you don’t work as a Miner, you can’t live in East Sea City; you’ll have to live in the wilderness… outside the main city, which we generally refer to as the wilderness.”
“The world is vast, and if you possess strength, you can go anywhere.”
“But let me remind you…”
“Outside the main city, the wilderness is fraught with peril, teeming with countless extraordinary monsters and alien races. Even the powerful Guardian Beastmasters and Star Martial Artists tread carefully as if on thin ice.”
“So think it through whether you want to be a Miner or not.”
“Alright, let’s start lining up now.”
“Prepare for the Awakening guidance!”
“Fifty people in a group, forming three circles around a lighthouse.”
“Each group has only five minutes for Awakening.”
“Begin!”
The woman standing on the Black Ape’s shoulder did not give people another chance to ask questions.
Teams of fully armed soldiers came and started guiding the people to line up.
On the east side of the square, a group of soldiers brought out several objects resembling lighthouses.
Ten “lighthouses” in total, each over three meters tall and emitting a faint blue light.
The crowd surged forward, with many people beginning to push towards the front.
Nearby, a burly young man tugged at Chen Fan’s sleeve: “Little brother, since everyone has a chance to awaken, there’s no need to rush. Let’s hang back a bit and watch first?”
Chen Fan nodded and extended his right hand: “Chen Fan.”
The young man grinned and shook his hand: “Wang Teng.”
Chen Fan: “…”
My son Wang Teng has the makings of an Emperor!
That name…
Chen Fan looked peculiar: “Brother Wang, do you usually read novels?”
Wang Teng was taken aback: “Why would I read those things?”
Chen Fan: “…”
Alright, this guy probably doesn’t read novels normally, and because he is physically strong and big, people don’t dare to joke with him about it, so he’s always been unaware.
“Little brother, after the Awakening guidance is over, let’s form a team together?”
Wang Teng looked at Chen Fan and whispered, “Then we’ll find two more people and take a crack at the jungle!”
“If we can awaken and become Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists, we can help each other and grow together!”
Chen Fan nodded slightly: “Okay.”
Suddenly!
Chen Fan felt as if an electric current had passed through his entire body.
“Beastmaster System activating, 10%, 40%, 70%…”
“Beastmaster System successfully activated!”
“Beastmaster’s Space successfully established!”
The next moment…
“Boom!”
In Chen Fan’s mind, a strange square space was opened.
This square space, roughly thirty square meters in size, had a sky dotted with white clouds, green grass on the ground, and even a body of water… oh, it was actually just a small water pit.
In a fit of pique, Ye Xiong sealed her lips with his own, kissing her right there on the roadside.
Luo Weiwei was stunned; she had never expected him to be so crazy as to forcefully kiss her.
“Let go, release me… hooligan.”
“I won’t let go, you release me…”
“I’ll call the police…”
Her voice gradually faded away until Luo Weiwei stopped struggling and started responding.
The two of them indulged in unrestrained intimacy on the roadside.
After what felt like an eternity, they finally let go of each other.
Looking at the blush on Luo Weiwei’s face and smelling the unique fragrance of a woman on her, Ye Xiong couldn’t resist whispering into her ear with a gentle breath, “Shall we go to 7 Days or Home Inn?”
Luo Weiwei pushed him away and scolded with a flushed face, “You can forget about taking advantage of me in the future.”
Pushing Ye Xiong aside, she walked to the motorbike, straddled it.
The bike roared to life, ready to leave, when Ye Xiong suddenly jumped onto the back seat.
The motorcycle sped off.
