Chapter 174 - 174 "Esteemed Guest" from afar!
174 “Esteemed Guest” from afar!
“It’s good that they can live. It’s good that they can live! We can still increase their strength when it decreases.”
“They’re not only beasts, but also our companions.
Looking at the two Ironback Pig Knights who were still wiping their tears under the dim light of the temporary camp, Bei Yun hesitated.
“Vice Commander Hong, can I tell them this news?”
Hong Zhijun waved his hand.
“Don’t tell anyone about this first.”
Bei Yun opened his mouth and nodded in the end.
It was already good news that they could be revived.
On the other side, in the mercenary group, they were also discussing what had happened in the battle just now.
The protagonist mentioned by this group of mercenaries was the butterfly on Hong Zhijun’s shoulder, and Mark, with his cowardly lizard.
Especially the latter.
After this battle, Mark directly became the most dazzling existence among the hundred or so mercenaries.
After all, for the mercenaries who respected combat strength, compared to the White Jade Butterfly that provided team enhancement, they admired or wanted a beast like Mark that could increase their combat strength more.
After learning that the fat Marvin was Mark’s big brother, these mercenaries all surrounded him.
After all, compared to Mark, as the owner of a tavern, there were many mercenaries who knew him.
“Shop Owner Ma, ah… where did you guys get that lizard?”
Marvin smilingly looked at the mercenaries in front of him and said,
“The Beast Taming Dojo is over at the academy.”
“If everyone wants it, you can try your luck when you’re free.”
“Academy? This was caused by those people from the academy?”
Marvin shook his head.
“That’s right.”
“It’s only because of our personal relationship that Hall Master Lin chose the address of the dojo to be in the academy.”
In any case, no one would investigate this matter, so Marvin began to bluff.
Hearing Marvin say it so naturally, these mercenaries thought that Marvin was very familiar with the “Dojo Master Lin” he mentioned.
They looked at Marvin even more fervently.
“Shop Owner Ma, can you introduce me? I want to buy that lizard!”
“I want that kind of butterfly. It’s the butterfly on the shoulder of that army commander.”
“Tsk, why are men buying butterflies? What a woman. If you want to buy something, buy lizards!”
“If you have the guts, why don’t you tell that officer?”
“Why don’t you help me get one back, Shop Owner Ma? The academy is too far away and I’m too lazy to go. I’ll give you a commission.”
“That’s right. If we give you our needs, can’t you just pack them up and bring them back for us? You can even earn a sum of money.”
To these mercenaries, it was impossible for them to deliberately run to a place more than 20 kilometers away from the east gate to buy things.
Hearing these ridiculous ideas, Marvin could only bitterly smile and explain the rules of the Beast Taming Dojo.
After these mercenaries heard this, they directly said that Hall Master Lin did not know how to do business.
Was he looking down on the purchasing power of mercenaries?
Many mercenaries directly left after Marvin finished explaining the rules.
In their opinion, it was best if there was such a thing. If not… then forget it.
They did not force it.
However, there was still a small group of mercenaries who stayed.
They asked about beasts in detail.
Marvin also patiently answered.
After all, these people were all potential customers of the Beast Taming Tavern in the future.
After everyone understood the Beast Taming Tavern, Marvin didn’t believe that the Beast Taming Tavern’s signboard wouldn’t attract these mercenaries.
Hmph!
He was simply a business genius!
In the temporary camp at the back, Wu Yan and his two subordinates looked at the battlefield filled with corpses in disbelief.
Especially Wu Yan.
At this moment, he was even a little glad.
He was glad that he had chosen to leave Jiangzhou City temporarily and go to Qingquan City to “open a market”.
From the strength displayed by the pigs, the lizard, and Hong Zhijun’s white butterfly, his mental controller seemed to be a little child’s play.
Looking at the gloomy Wu Yan, his subordinate whispered.
“Sir, should we get our people to take the opportunity to get a corpse back?”
“There’s something strange about those pigs.”
Hearing this idea, Wu Yan was tempted for a moment.
However, he still shook his head.
“Forget it, don’t expose yourself for the time being. It’s too obvious to attack now.”

The next morning, because the Manager had a high-intensity battle last night, Hong Zhijun ordered the team to rest for half a day.
On the other side, as usual, Lin Ye slowly woke up with Little Tanuki in his arms.
Today, he decided to go to the Beast Taming World to take a look.
What was going on with the “person” Xu Jun, Xing Rong, and Zhuge Qing saw?
Was it the clansmen of the Great Sage, the clansmen of the ghost girl, or something else?
After coming out of the room, Lin Ye brought Blackie downstairs to open the door.
As usual.
The first to open the door was Qin Zhilan and the other two girls.
However, Qin Zhilan was still the same as yesterday. She looked dispirited.
Looking at Qin Zhilan, Lin Ye frowned.
“Were you being harassed again?”
Qin Zhilan, who was squinting, nodded.
Lin Ye waved his hand.
“Go in and sleep on the recliner in the office on the second floor. I slept yesterday. It’s very comfortable.”
Qin Zhilan’s face turned slightly red. She wanted to refuse, but she could not help but walk upstairs when she felt the tidal wave of sleepiness.
Looking at the two of them so naturally, a trace of ridicule flashed in Bai Tao’s eyes.
As for Su Qingqing, he could not see anything wrong.
After entering the dojo, the two of them began a new day of work.
Lin Ye brought Blackie, Little Tanuki, and the Great Sage to the room on the third floor where the other spatial door was placed.
“Let’s go, Great Sage. I’ll bring you back to your hometown.”
“At the same time, see if that bug is still there.”
Hearing Lin Ye mention that “bug”, a trace of hatred flashed in the Great Sage’s eyes.
Lin Ye patted the Great Sage’s shoulder and brought them into the spatial door.
The moment Lin Ye stepped into the spatial door, in the center of the square in the city center of Jiangzhou City, a spatial door that looked similar to the one in the dojo stood there.
At this moment, the two sides of the square were completely cleared. At the entrance of the spatial door stood a few people with extraordinary auras.
The leader was a slightly bald middle-aged man with a big belly.
On both sides of the middle-aged man stood two old men, one thin and one fat, one tall and one short.
They were the Human Alliance Consecrators who had been taught by the Fire Phoenix previously—Yu Ming and Niu Feng.
Below the two of them was an officer in army uniform and a man with the badge of the Mutant Federation on his chest.
Buzz ~
With a slight sound from the spatial door, a figure stepped out.
The bald middle-aged man in the lead was about to go forward and greet them when he saw the uncontrollable killing intent in the person’s eyes.
Therefore, the footsteps he had just raised were forcefully stopped.
Moreover, looking at this black shirt and black pants, he did not look like an esteemed guest he was going to welcome. Instead, he looked like a guard.
The man was slightly embarrassed.
After four similarly dressed men came out in a row, a young man in white luxurious clothes with golden cuffs and collar walked out of the spatial door.
Seeing this young man come out, the embarrassment on the middle-aged man’s face immediately disappeared completely.
In its place was an extremely fawning expression that made a bootlicker cry.
His old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, dazzling… and ugly.
“Young Master Li, welcome!”
“I’m the mayor of Jiangzhou City, Wu Youde.”
The young man in luxurious clothes looked at Wu Youde’s outstretched right hand and only nodded. He had no intention of shaking hands.
“Mm ~”
“Got it.”
Wu Youde was not embarrassed. After retracting his hand very naturally, he guided the young man in luxurious clothes like an eager attendant.
Looking at the back of the young man in luxurious clothes, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of Yu Ming and Niu Feng.
They did not like this “esteemed guest” who had come from afar.
