Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Bai Youruo: "Be careful, and if things are impossible, protect yourself."

Tang Wen felt a touch of emotion and pressed her hand with his other hand: "Okay! You must also take care."

Bai Youruo looked at him deeply and said nothing more.

Bai Xue came in, and the three of them chatted until late.

Early the next morning, the two of them went to Wukong.

Tang Wen looked at the empty yard, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss.

Alone, in a foreign land, fighting solo.

And he still had to find a map of a mine involving huge interests.

That place, Ganshan City, might even be life-threatening.

This is really not something a human should do.

It's even worse than the 996 work schedule back then with no benefits!

After breakfast, he uncharacteristically lay back on the bed.

His mind was racing, thinking about the next step and the major forces in Black Rock City.

Bai Youruo suggested that he join the Ship Gang.

Based on her understanding of Ganshan City, Crow's description of Ganshan City, and what the hostess at the Sihai Inn said today,

Tang Wen had a basic impression of the Ship Gang.

Ganshan City is bordered by a river on one side, with docks and fleets.

The Ship Gang, as the name suggests, is a gang composed of sailors and dockworkers.

After years of development, it has become a force to be reckoned with.

Internally, they practice water-based techniques, and it is said that some of them also practice wind-based techniques.

The leader of the Ship Gang practices the boundless sea technique of the water element.

From this, it seems that the Ship Gang's internal inheritance is more complete with the water element's visualization martial art—the Boundless Sea Art.

The Ship Gang is relatively loose, and the rules are not so strict.

If Tang Wen joins the Ship Gang as a Beast Master, his daily task would be to train pigeons, water monkeys, and aquatic beasts.

This is not difficult for him.

Unfortunately, the technique is not suitable.

Tang Wen thought of another option—the Blackwater Gang.

The Blackwater Gang has the word 'water' in its name.

But in reality, it has little to do with water.

It is speculated that the name was chosen because the gang leader's surname was 'Shui' (Water), and the gang leader practiced the Black Night Divine Fist.

That's why it was named the Blackwater Gang.

As for why it's not called the 'Water Black Gang'.

Tang Wen guessed that it was mainly because it sounded too awkward.

The Blackwater Gang owns a large amount of farmland. Many mountains and plains outside Ganshan City belong to them.

Slaves cultivate the land and hand in the harvest.

The Blackwater Gang runs large and small grain shops, vegetable shops, meat shops, and restaurants in Ganshan City.

Their main business is in the food and entertainment industries.

Joining the Blackwater Gang would probably be a bit busy.

But there would be a chance to learn the Black Night Divine Fist.

The third option is the Chamber of Commerce.

Ganshan City Chamber of Commerce.

Merchants, in any society, often form their own force.

The Ganshan City Chamber of Commerce is controlled by several merchant families, and the techniques they practice are also mixed.

There is the Black Night Divine Fist of the Dark Division, the Skyfire燎原 of the Fire Division, and the Mountain Shattering Force of the Earth Division.

As for what technique the president of the Chamber of Commerce practices, Tang Wen didn't know.

After thinking about it, he first eliminated the Ship Gang.

He had already begun to transform, awakened his dark abilities, and practicing the dark element's techniques was a certainty.

The Ship Gang had no corresponding techniques, so he didn't consider it.

As for the remaining two, he hadn't decided which one to join.

In the end, he still had too little information.

After practicing martial arts in the courtyard until evening, Tang Wen came to a stone building in the Sihai Inn.

"Four appetizers and a pot of wine."

This was a restaurant.

Inside, dancers were in groups, their clothes were daring and flimsy, and a casual glance revealed a sea of white flesh.

"Sir, drinking alone is dull. Why not have someone keep you company?"

Keep me company?

Wouldn't that be like drinking in a brothel?

Immediately, Tang Wen nodded emphatically: "Find someone knowledgeable to talk to me."

The green-hatted waiter was stunned and tentatively said: "Someone older?"

He muttered to himself: This sir actually likes mature women. He doesn't look that old.

"Okay, find a corner!"

"Okay! This way, please."

The green-hatted waiter immediately understood.

Find a quiet corner. This one seems to want to get started in public?

He's really impatient.

Tang Wen sat down, and tea was immediately poured. Before long, a fragrant breeze followed.

A woman of about twenty-seven or eight years old with an oval face bowed slightly to him and was about to sit next to him.

"Sit there."

Tang Wen pointed to the bench next to him.

The woman dared not disobey, but at the same time, she felt a little strange.

This one is really interesting. He's come out to drink in a brothel, but he's pretending. Is it necessary?

She poured wine for Tang Wen, and Tang Wen motioned for her to drink as well.

After three rounds of wine, the woman's fair cheeks were slightly flushed.

Tang Wen: "I'm going to Ganshan City next. Tell me what you know about Ganshan City."

"To be honest, I haven't left this camp. All I know is what I've heard from others." She looked at the men who were having fun.

"Tell me what you've heard."

The woman said: "Many people from Ganshan City come here to have fun, but I don't dare to believe what men say when they're drunk. Don't blame me if I say something wrong."

Seeing Tang Wen smile and agree.

She opened the floodgates.

Sure enough, she was not lying. Some of the words that came out of her mouth were somewhat contradictory.

Tang Wen just listened casually, holding his wine glass, drinking a cup or not.

The woman saw it and was very anxious.

She wanted to earn money, but this sir didn't allow her to use her strengths at all.

How could she earn a reward?

Storytelling was not her forte. Wouldn't it be better to change to a private room and let her play and sing?

Another pot of wine was added.

The woman couldn't sit still. She didn't know how, but her collar was getting lower and lower, and her plump buttocks were moving closer and closer involuntarily.

Softness pressed against his arm. Tang Wen understood that she didn't want to tell stories anymore. She wanted to sing.

"Here! Sit back and just talk about what you can be sure of!"

He took out a few silver beans from his waist.

The woman took them quickly and thanked him repeatedly.

It wasn't that she was anxious, but she was getting old and the market was not good.

The regular customers who used to rush to her were all gone.

Plus, she had an illegitimate child to raise.

It was not easy to make an appearance, and she always wanted to earn more rewards.

After receiving the silver, she frowned and thought for a while, and then said after drinking a glass of wine:

"The Chamber of Commerce in Ganshan City keeps a white tiger. It is said that it was raised by their president. The white tiger can be big or small. When it is big, it is bigger than three rooms. When it is small, it is smaller than a big cat..."

"The people of the Ship Gang have a big turtle and a dragon. It is said that they must bring them every time they go out to sea to ensure the safety of the fleet."

White tiger, giant turtle, dragon.

It seems that the Chamber of Commerce and the Ship Gang may have high-level Beast Masters.

Maybe even the inheritance of the Beast Master.

These two pieces of information alone are worth the price.

The silver beans were not spent in vain.

She spoke for more than ten minutes.

She was so thirsty that the woman picked up the tea and drank it in small sips.

"The people of the Giant Rock Martial Hall are tall and burly. Their arms are thicker than my thighs, and their legs are long and strong, like pillars supporting the roof beam."

The Giant Rock Martial Hall is one of the forces in Ganshan City.

Tang Wen didn't know exactly what they did.

She spoke eloquently for another half an hour.

Seeing that the woman was getting more and more outrageous, Tang Wen impatiently interrupted: "Think carefully, don't make it up, be sure, even small things are fine."

As he spoke, he showed two more silver beans, tossing them in his hand.

The woman didn't dare to neglect, and said a few more useless nonsense.

Tang Wen was about to pay the bill and leave when the woman suddenly saw something, her face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said: "I saw an acquaintance, he is from the Blackwater Gang."

The person was in the room.

Looking at her expression, it seemed a little unusual.

Tang Wen reached out and grabbed the woman's hand, pulled her to his side: "Tell me, what's wrong with him."

The woman took out a white handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and whispered.
