At Mount Tom Hunting Ground.
A rustic looking wooden house was built at the entrance of the hunting ground. It was surrounded by a lush jungle. The moment they parked their cars, a man in his thirties walked towards them to welcome them.
"Master Zhou, I have not seen you coming here for quite some time!"
Seemingly, this man was pretty close to Zhou Huajiang.
"Yea. I'm quite busy recently. I should have gotten in touch with you sooner."
Immediately, Zhou Huajiang tucked away his arrogant manner and responded politely.
"Master Zhou, is he the one that you mentioned all time? The one that is in Xuanjian Faction?!" asked Xia Tai in a shocking manner.
Upon hearing the name Xuanjian Faction, everyone around him could not help but look awestruck. In their subconscious, they would pay their utmost respect to those people that joined some random factions in Jianghu. Realizing a disciple of the top Jianghu faction was standing in front of them, they felt like they should worship him like an idol. The way they looked at him was akin to looking at someone that stood at the top of the world.
"It's just a misunderstanding! My role here is to help Elder Qi to take care of this hunting ground. I don't think I'm powerful enough to join Xuanjian Faction anyway."
"Brother Liu! You are way too humble! Though you did not join Xuanjian Faction, I can see that Elder Qi always guides you on your training! In other words, you can be considered as Elder Qi's disciple! Honestly speaking, I'm really jealous of you! I wish I have an opportunity like that as well!"
Upon hearing the compliment that was meant for him, he could not help but put on a look of pride.
"Master Zhou, who is Elder Qi? Do you mind telling us?" asked Xia Tao in a curious manner.
At the same time, everyone else straightened their ears and paid attention to Brother Liu. Their blood was boiling after knowing that Zhou Huajiang was jealous of Brother Liu. Every single one of them was imagining being chosen by Elder Qi – dreaming of transforming into a powerful and influential person in Jianghu.
"Elder Qi is one of the elders in Xuanjian Faction! A half-step True Nirvana elite! His status is extremely powerful in Jianghu! No doubt, he is an omega level elite! My biggest dream is to become someone like Brother Liu! I want to become Elder Qi's disciple as well!"
At the same time, Zhou Huajiang shifted his attention to Wenyuan unconsciously. Clearly, he wanted to show off in front of her to impress her. That was the real purpose he brought Wenyuan here. However, Wenyuan did not even bother to look at him. All she did was hold on to Chen Xiaobei and spend some quality time with him. Immediately, Zhou Huajiang's face darkened.
Seconds later, Brother Liu noticed something unpleasant must have happened. He then quickly said, "Everyone! Follow me! I have prepared a simple lunch for you guys! At night, we will have something nice for dinner after the hunt!"
Since everyone came here to hunt, none of them mind the simple lunch. They just wanted to start the hunting game.
"Let me explain some hunting rules! So, the fee for hunting is eight thousand per entry! You need to pay extra if you want some other services. A crossbow costs three thousand per day. A hunting hound costs five thousand per day. The guide costs ten thousand per day!"
Everyone was taken aback after hearing the hunting costs. Easily, one could spend tens of thousands in one day! All those rich youngsters were not as rich as the four top young masters of Dragon City. Naturally, it was hard for them to bear such high hunting costs since they wanted to pay for their female companions.
"Everyone! Don't worry! I have everything covered! Just pick anything you like! Brother Liu is going to be our guide and he will provide us with hunting hounds as well! Safety should be prioritized over everything! It's totally not necessary to help me to save money! Just splurge!" said Zhou Huajiang with a smile on his face.
After that, he took a look at Wenyuan once again. He thought he could impress Wenyuan this time since he was acting all generous and nice. Unfortunately, Wenyuan still did not bother to look at him. She was still chatting happily with Chen Xiaobei. Leaving him frustrated, he glared at Chen Xiaobei. It was as if he wanted to eat him alive. On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei did not pay much attention to him because all he wanted today was to keep Wenyuan happy. He could afford to buy the whole hunting ground if that was Wenyuan's wish.
Brother Liu then led the crowd to choose their hunting equipment.
"We only do traditional hunting here. Hence, there will be no guns. You can either choose a crossbow or mechanical crossbow as your hunting weapon. I would recommend the men to use a crossbow. Using the crossbow to hunt is definitely a challenge for our arms. It has a far shooting range and its killing power is pretty powerful as well. It can easily kill animals like deer and Siberian roe deer. As for the ladies, I would recommend you to choose a mechanical crossbow. It's easier for you to load arrows in it. It saves you strength but its shooting range is rather short. Its killing power will be reduced greatly if you want to shoot something of greater distance. The animals that you can hunt would be limited to chickens and rabbits."
Upon hearing his recommendation, everyone followed his advice. All the men chose the crossbow and the women chose the mechanical crossbow. This brand-new thing that they were about to experience made everyone felt really excited. Even Wenyuan could not resist being curious. She put the mechanical crossbow in her hand and tried to aim something with it.
"Wow! Brother Liu! Why is your crossbow different from everyone else?!"
He was using a bow as his hunting weapon instead of a crossbow. Its body was bigger and the bowstring was thicker– making it looked really cool.
"This is a Godly Bow. It requires a thousand pounds of force to pull the string. I will need it to kill ferocious beast if we encounter one later."
"Good heavens! One thousand pounds! Brother Liu, you are too powerful! You must be Elder Qi's most powerful disciple! A superhuman!"
Immediately, everyone was awestruck. They idolized him even more now. To them, only bears and tigers possessed a thousand pounds of force. It was not possible for an ordinary human being to do something like that. On the other hand, a thousand pounds of force was nothing to Chen Xiaobei and Wenyuan. After knowing that his combat power was less than three thousand, they finally understood why was Brother Liu rejected by Xuanjian Faction.
"Mister, are you going to pick a bow?"
Striding towards Chen Xiaobei, Brother Liu gave him an odd look.
"Just pick a mechanical bow as your hunting weapon if you think you are not strong enough to handle a crossbow! Wait… Please don't tell me you are weaker than a girl!"
Upon hearing the comment, Zhou Huajiang took the initiative to laugh at Chen Xiaobei. Following that, everyone began to laugh at him too. Clearly, Brother Liu was trying to embarrass Chen Xiaobei on purpose to avenge Zhou Huajiang.
"No need. These are toys for kids. I'm not interested in them."
