NOVEL NEXT Chapter 325: Six-Person Squad
Under Bai Ye's guidance, Ye Chen walked out of the courtyard.
Hao Sheng sat on a chair, his eyes sharp as he looked at Bai Ye, and softly asked, "What is it that makes you so cautious?"
Bai Ye jogged outside the door, ensuring Ye Chen had already left. After closing the door, he ran to Hao Sheng's side and said, "Master, you must praise me this time. I found you a treasure!"
"Treasure? What treasure, show it to me." Hao Sheng frowned with curiosity.
Bai Ye laughed, "Not this, the treasure is Ye Chen. Let me tell you, Master, no matter how many geniuses or strange occurrences you've seen, none can compare to Ye Chen!"
"Oh! How so?" Hao Sheng was immediately intrigued.
Even though Ye Chen had a Creation Tier pet of high value, it only made Hao Sheng regard him a bit higher.
Bai Ye said, "This Ye Chen has four pets, two of which are LV31, one is a Sacred Artifact, one is an Immortal Beast, and there's also an LV30 Sacred Artifact!"
"What! Four pets? A person can only have one pet, this is an ironclad rule. How can someone have four pets, how is that possible!" Hao Sheng's pupils shook, and he exclaimed!
"This is true, Master, I saw it with my own eyes. There truly are four, and each pet is no lower than a Sacred Artifact!" Bai Ye said earnestly.
Hao Sheng also believed it, his face changed again and again, and he was stunned for a long time without saying anything.
"Moreover, Master, Ye Chen's own strength is particularly strong. Though facing the two of us, he's only a bit strained, yet not at a disadvantage in the slightest."
Bai Ye said seriously.
Hao Sheng was stunned again: "Handling you two alone without being at a disadvantage, Ye Chen must be extremely strong to be able to single-handedly raise four pets to this level in Z City. Clearly, he's no ordinary person. It seems I've found a real gem this time!"
Hao Sheng appeared very excited!
Bai Ye laughed, "Indeed, Master, if we nurture Ye Chen well, who knows, he might become a super powerhouse in the future!"
Hao Sheng nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's a very worthwhile investment. From now on, whatever request Ye Chen has, agree to all of them, and whatever resources for power enhancement, provide him. Four pets are like a formidable small team for one person!"
One must say, this Hao Sheng indeed has great foresight.
Bai Ye nodded and smiled, "Alright, Master!"
Bai Ye was inwardly very happy too. After all, Ye Chen was discovered by him, and he could bask in Ye Chen's future glory.
"Wait!" Hao Sheng suddenly said.
Bai Ye turned his head, puzzled, and asked, "What is it, Master? Any other instructions?"
"Tell Hei Ye not to disclose Ye Chen's having four pets to anyone. Tell Ye Chen to only show himself with the Creation Tier pet from now on."
Hao Sheng instructed Bai Ye.
Bai Ye nodded, "Yes, Master!"
If news of having four pets got out, it would truly be astonishing.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen, guided by Hei Ye, had been taken to a three-story building, where a very luxurious room was opened, equipped with everything needed.
Hei Ye pulled Ye Chen into three group chats in the Monster Chat Room, one for the Law Enforcement Alliance Province group with everyone from there, one for the Holy Guard Army group with eighteen hundred people, and a core group with only six people.
Hei Ye said, "Brother Ye Chen, stay here for now. If you need anything, just find me or the second senior brother. Our world might change tomorrow night as we enter the Secret Realm, and the Talent Awakening is about to begin. We should awaken our pets' talents before entering the Secret Realm."
"Sure, thanks."
"No need for thanks, I'll leave now."
After Hei Ye left, Ye Chen returned to the room.
Night had fallen, and Ye Chen lay on the bed. The room was impeccably clean, evidently uninhabited previously.
Ye Chen felt a little expectant, as he was a step closer to uncovering the secret truth.
Moreover, the Talent Awakening would start tomorrow, something he eagerly anticipated.
He took out the Experience Medicine worth five hundred thousand.
After glancing at the attribute panels of his four small pets, Ye Chen finally decided to use it on Genggeng.
Genggeng was only twenty thousand Experience Value away from reaching LV26.
After using the five hundred thousand Experience, Genggeng instantly reached LV29, with an additional eighty thousand Experience Value. Thankfully, he had the eighty thousand Experience Capsule from before.
Enough to level Genggeng up to LV30.
One must say, Hao Sheng was indeed very generous, gifting five hundred thousand Experience Value right away; this welcoming gift was indeed substantial.
Yet, what exactly is the Secret Realm like, and what kinds of resources are within?
At that moment, Ye Chen's phone rang. It was a call from Yu Nian.
Upon answering, a multitude of voices came through.
"Chen Bro, how's it going over there, how are their people!"
"Ye Chen, are you alright?"
"Ye Chen, did they deceive you!"
"..."
Ye Chen laughed and said, "It's all good, I'm doing fine here. Their people are quite nice and treat me well, rest assured. Besides, I won't be bullied."
"Oh, that's good, as long as you're okay, it puts us at ease. If you feel uncomfortable there, come back."
"No worries, everything's going well, don't worry about me."
After chatting for a few more moments, Ye Chen hung up the call.
Footsteps and murmured voices came from outside the door.
"Big Brother, tomorrow is the day we enter the Secret Realm. Will we be able to obtain enough resources?"
"Hmph, have you ever played a game? It's better to kill one than to search a city. We can secretly play dirty."
"But aren't we forbidden from attacking our teammates?"
"Look at you, afraid of what? In the Secret Realm, who knows what you do."
"True, heh heh, I'll count on you tomorrow, Big Brother."
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly; it seemed such people were everywhere.
Wherever there's interest, there's conflict.
The next morning, Ye Chen's door was knocked on.
"Fourth Brother, are you awake?" Bai Ye called out at the door.
"Awake!"
Ye Chen got up and opened the door.
Bai Ye stood at the door smiling, "Let's go, Brother Ye Chen, Master's got something arranged."
"Alright, let's go!"
Ye Chen followed Bai Ye, arriving at Hao Sheng's place.
Upon arrival, Ye Chen noticed three other people there.
Bai Ye introduced, "Ye Chen, this is our eldest senior brother, Hong Ye, LV40!"
A 29-year-old man, with delicate features, nodded and smiled at Ye Chen, "You're the junior apprentice brother. Hello, I'm Hong Ye."
Hong Ye's smile was very gentle and, at a glance, he appeared to be a very well-mannered person.
Ye Chen nodded, "Hello, eldest senior brother."
"This is Bai Cha, captain of the first team of the Holy Guard Army, LV38!"
Despite being called Bai Cha, his skin was very dark, and he was quite burly.
