Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Cries echoed from every direction.

Within Inner Gushan City, nearly every household hung white lanterns at their door.

Tang Wen, along with the heads of the three major families of the inner city and the leaders of the five major forces of the outer city, traversed the streets of the inner city.

Too many had died in battle.

In the entire Gushan City, seven or eight out of ten families were holding funerals.

And those who sacrificed themselves were often the pillars of their households.

The problems their families faced were not just the burial of the dead, but also their future livelihoods, the upbringing of the next generation, and so on.

In the inner city, Tang Wen led the heads of the families and leaders, visiting each household to offer condolences.

Those whose homes he visited all had fifth-grade powerhouses who had died in battle.

Gushan City was undergoing such significant changes, and they had to hand over most of their income to the White Tiger Tribe.

Tang Wen and the other eight leaders needed to give an explanation to each household.

Of course, the due compensation would be given without fail, and the care for the families' children would be provided as needed.

"Madam, there's no need to be so polite."

"Young Master Li, please rise!"

"Children! Your father did not die in vain. I will erect a monument in the city, inscribing the names of all the fallen soldiers of Gushan City! Let everyone in the city pay their respects. Even after thousands of years, even when we are gone, future generations will not forget their names!"

"Thank you, Lord City Master!"

"Madam, there's no need to be like this."

"…"

After speaking at each house, Tang Wen's throat was parched by the end of the day.

After visiting each family, they arrived at the residence of the former leader of the last major force—the Ship Gang.

The Ship Gang's Third Master personally led the way, his every move resembling a butler welcoming a VIP, or a lackey clearing the path for his master.

Previously, the Ship Gang stood with the Huang family, repeatedly showing disrespect to Tang Wen.

Fortunately for the Ship Gang's current acting leader, Ship Third Master, his first and second brothers had died, and he had not had any conflicts with City Master Tang Wen.

So, the most important thing now was to reverse Tang Wen's negative impression of the Ship Gang.

What? City Master might not target the Ship Gang?

Then they needed to increase his goodwill!

"The widow greets Lord City Master."

A faint fragrance wafted over as a woman with raven hair and white robes gracefully walked out of the mourning hall and knelt to pay her respects.

Her hips were wider than her shoulders, and as she knelt, her moon-like behind arched high, and waves surged at her chest.

"Madam, there's no need to be so polite," Tang Wen said, offering a hand to help her up, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

A woman looks best in mourning.

The Ship Gang's Old Master's wife, Madam Zhao, slowly rose, but instead of playing by the rules, she actually placed her slender, soft hand on Tang Wen's hand and pressed down, pretending to use it for support.

Tang Wen: This woman seems to be a Transcendent, right?

In front of so many people, you're acting like a Transcendent kneeling on the ground can't get up?

He withdrew his hand and spoke in a slightly flat tone, making polite conversation.

After that, he made no further gestures, even though it was lunchtime, and refused Madam Zhao's repeated invitations. He turned around and continued to the next house.

The last time he met this woman by chance, she felt like a newly successful fox spirit.

Today, she had turned into a beautiful and dignified Gang Leader's wife.

Watching Tang Wen and the others' backs, Madam Zhao sighed silently: It's not that I'm impatient, it's just that there's no chance to meet.

The Ship Gang had five fifth-grade members who died in battle.

About the same number as those who died at Tang Wen's hands, the five households were quickly visited.

Tang Wen and the leaders of the various families, as well as Hu Yun, Shui Yun, A Qi, and others, had dinner together.

Having received benefits, they would naturally take on responsibilities.

To reassure them, Hu Yun took the initiative to say, "I have already notified the members of the Hunting Squad, and they are rushing here day and night."

Everyone put down their wine glasses, their eyes flashing with excitement.

Hu Yun: "Seven people and seven tigers, all at the peak of the fifth grade, including members of the Thunder Division, Wind Division, and Earth Division, with rich combat experience and many coordinated tactics."

The faint pride in her tone was undisguised.

Shui Qianjun praised with satisfaction, "Excellent! Fourteen fifth-grade peak experts."

Huang Shisan said with admiration, "Your Excellency Hu Yun is truly amazing! You actually have so many fifth-grade peak experts under your command! In a few more days, the safety of Gushan City will be guaranteed!"

"Yes, fourteen fifth-grade experts. We have seen the White Tiger Tribe's combat power. One can definitely beat two of us."

"Two? I saw that day that four fifth-grade demons couldn't get close."

These words were not purely flattery.

The fifth-grade peak experts of the White Tiger Tribe were indeed top-tier.

They lived in the Ten Thousand Mountains all year round, fighting the most terrifying fifth-grade beasts to the death, making them much stronger than ordinary fifth-grade experts.

Hu Yun took a sip of wine and added, "However, they are not good at defense."

Huh?

"After arriving, they will rest for a few days, and I will send them out to search for demons, taking the initiative to attack. Fighting a defensive battle is too passive!"

"Lord Hu Yun is wise!" Vice President Qian of the Chamber of Commerce raised his wine glass.

Words of praise filled the room.

After praising the reliability and impressive combat power of the White Tiger Tribe, they flattered Hu Yun and Tang Wen for a long time.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Lord City Master, Lord Hu Yun, when will your experts arrive? It's not that I want to rush you, but Gushan City is currently short of strength, and we old guys can't sleep well at night."

Hu Yun glanced at Elder Lu who spoke: "They are traveling day and night and will use some other means to assist in their journey. They should arrive within seven days and nights."

"Good, good, good! Thank you, Lord Hu Yun! Thank you, Lord City Master! I'll drink to that first."

With that, he raised the jar and drank heartily.

Tang Wen smiled and, seeing everyone looking at him, slowly opened his mouth:

"The Holy Maiden of the White Tiger Tribe has also agreed that the seven White Tiger Guards, consisting of seven people and seven tigers, are already on their way. Except for two Water Division experts, the other five are from the Wind Division.

As for their realm, needless to say, none of the members of the White Tiger Guards or the White Tiger Hunting Squad are not at the peak of the fifth grade."

Another fourteen fifth-grade peak experts.

"That's great! In this way, plus us, our strength hasn't weakened much."

"Yes! Moreover, we have the wise leadership of City Master Tang Wen and the fourth-grade Shadow Tiger Lord in charge!"

"This will be completely safe. It all depends on the two lords. Everyone, let's raise our glasses together to toast Lord City Master and Lord Hu Yun!"

"…"

Shui Qianjun was forced to toast his disciple and future disciple's wife.

Feng Sanniang also had to toast her lover and "love rival, Hu Yun."

Tang Wen drank a few cups of "Immortal's Intoxication," not deliberately suppressing the effects of the alcohol, his face flushed under the lamplight.

"City Master, this subordinate is inexperienced and doesn't know how our Ship Gang should conduct business with the Chamber of Commerce?" The acting leader of the Ship Gang, Ship Third Master, bent over slightly, looking as sincere as possible.

The Ship Gang, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Horse Gang would definitely be conducting business together.

The strength of the three families was very little left after the great battle.

Without merging, they would not be able to maintain their position on their own.

Tang Wen was very comfortable in his heart to see that the other party did not object and approached him with a positive attitude.

He suddenly remembered why leaders were always surrounded by flatterers.

It must be said that such people do make one feel comfortable.

"The Ship Gang's cargo docks can increase our shipping volume. The high-quality pack animals cultivated by the Horse Gang can be rented or sold to the outside world, or used to transport goods on land. These two families were originally based on these, and after the establishment of the joint Chamber of Commerce, these will become the main resources of the joint Chamber of Commerce. You will naturally benefit from it."

The Horse Gang leader and the Ship Gang leader nodded repeatedly, very much agreeing.

They dared not disagree.

As for the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the newly appointed Feng Sanniang, she would not have any objections.

She and Tang Wen were one family, husband and wife in harmony.

Vice President Qian of the Chamber of Commerce: The joint Chamber of Commerce, judging from the name, it is still dominated by our Chamber of Commerce.

Furthermore, with Madam Feng as the president, are you afraid that the City Master will not take care of the interests of the Chamber of Commerce?

Other forces had no room to interject.

"What about the matter of selling fifth-grade beast skins and meat from the Ten Thousand Mountains?" the Horse Gang leader mentioned.

"No problem, some beast skins and meat can be handed over to you," Hu Yun promised.

The eyes of the people of Gushan City showed joy.

The Horse Gang leader boldly said again, "Our Horse Gang is good at cultivating young alien beasts. If there are cubs, we can cultivate them on your behalf."

Hu Yun looked at him: "Do you think the White Tiger Tribe doesn't have this kind of breeding method?"

The latest novels are on Six Nine Books Bar!

"Uh? We can crossbreed alien beasts, especially herbivorous alien beasts."

Hu Yun nodded: "If there are suitable ones, I will hand them over to you."

"Thank you, Lord Hu Yun! Thank you, Lord City Master!"

After a meal.

The family heads and leaders of Gushan City finally put down their original worries.

The suppression for many consecutive days made them unable to help but drink a few more jars of "Immortal's Intoxication."

This kind of wine is brewed from the blood marrow of fifth-grade alien beasts, and the medicinal strength and alcohol strength are not small. After a few jars, even if they are all fifth-grade, they began to feel dizzy, under the condition of not deliberately suppressing.

For the leaders of each family, it can be regarded as a rare relaxation.

Tang Wen let them go.

"Lord City Master, this subordinate has something to report to you."

Hu Yun had already left the scene to receive guidance from the Shadow King.

Feng Sanniang also went back to discuss various matters with Shui Yun. For the two women, today may be a sleepless night.

Tang Wen carried the wine jar, half drunk and half awake, and came outside the courtyard.

In front of him was the City Master's Mansion.

After the renovation, it was his territory.

However, Tang Wen did not intend to live in it.

He was not a fourth-grade, so what would he do living in the City Master's Mansion?

Furthermore, the previous City Masters here all lost themselves under the influence of the Iron Crown, living like puppets who only knew how to safeguard justice. Living here felt somewhat unlucky.

"Lord City Master." The acting leader of the Ship Gang came out of the door.

Tang Wen turned back to look at her.

The acting leader of the Ship Gang came to his side, consciously lagging behind by half a step, and said with emotion, "This City Master's Mansion, I was both afraid and yearning for it when I was a child."

"What did you know later?"

"Then there was only fear left, and of course, respect." Speaking of this, he quickly changed the subject: "Of course, Lord City Master, you are different. When we turn this place over completely, it would be better for you to move in."

Tang Wen shook his head and smiled: "That's not necessary. If I can't hold it, let it be."

"You are so thoughtful. It is really uncomfortable to live here. It is better to keep it and miss the predecessors!"

The acting leader of the Ship Gang naturally changed his point of view, almost without thinking, and blurted out.

"You, you!" Tang Wen pointed his finger at him, shaking his head and smiling.

"Hey hey! Young master, you know everything. I was originally a third-rate character who mixed food and retired. Who would have thought that a demonic disaster would come inexplicably, and all those who were stronger than me in the gang died.

Only I am left, and I have to find a way to support the Ship Gang.

But how can I have that ability! I can only come to hug your thighs."

The acting leader of the Ship Gang did not conceal anything and directly stated his intentions.

Tang Wen naturally would not promise anything, but only drew a pie: "Work hard, and there will be no shortage of benefits."

"Yes, yes, Lord City Master, you have lofty aspirations. The Ship Gang will definitely work hard."

The two talked and laughed for a while.

Tang Wen drew a few pies, and the acting leader of the Ship Gang ate them all.

Flattery came one after another, making people feel so comfortable.

"Old Li, you guy, what exactly do you want to say? Speak."

After a few rounds, Tang Wen, who had not thought much about it, also realized that this acting leader had something on his mind.

"Hey hey, City Master, then I, Old Li, will say it."

"Say it." Tang Wen raised the wine jar and took a sip.

Leader Li began to transmit his voice: "City Master, do you still remember the disrespect the former Ship Leader showed you?"

Tang Wen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "When people are alive, I will definitely retaliate. Now that he is dead, let bygones be bygones."

"Lord City Master's heart is indeed as broad as the sea, like the sky..."

"Stop, stop, stop. It's not up to standard."

"Hey hey, I haven't said these words for a long time. I'll go back and read some books."

Read books to flatter?

Tang Wen was amused: "Don't think about these things, work hard when you have time."

Leader Li shook his head: "City Master, don't lie to me. I haven't done the work myself for a long time. I don't believe you will personally handle those mundane affairs."

Tang Wen was about to say something to him when he turned his head and saw this old guy leaning over mysteriously, transmitting his voice: "Lord City Master, I plan to bribe you. I don't know if you have had enough to drink. How about I take you to another place, and we have a few more drinks?"

Seeing his lewd face and winking eyes, Tang Wen knew what he was talking about.

However, Tang Wen was not interested in brothels, after all, Feng Sanniang, the number one beauty in Gushan City, was his beloved wife. Who could compare to her brothel?

Besides, there were several great beauties in his home who were not inferior to Sanniang.

"Lord City Master, the one I'm talking about is different." Old Li did not give up and continued to transmit his voice: "That woman is really a stunner. Her man is my, Old Li's, enemy. How about you help me teach her a lesson and let me vent my anger!"

A figure jumped out in Tang Wen's mind, his heart stirred, looking at Old Li with a smile: "Then tell me, what kind of enemy is he?"

"Hey hey, her man was once disrespectful to you, he is my biggest enemy!"

"Hahaha", Tang Wen laughed loudly: "Old Li, Old Li, don't let me make a mistake."

Chief Li hurriedly patted his chest and said, "City Lord, how could you make a mistake? Everything you do is right. If anyone dares to disobey, I'll be the first to object. This way, please. Let's go admire the moon in front."

With that, he led the way forward.

"Meow?"

Seeing Tang Wen about to leave, two white cats suddenly jumped out of the darkness and onto Tang Wen's shoulders.

"My Lord, these are?"

"Hehe, my little kittens."

"Oh, oh, truly divine and extraordinary! They are far superior to ordinary cats!" Chief Li was inwardly shocked.

He was considered a peak Rank 5, but he had been standing there for a long time, and he hadn't seen even a single cat hair, let alone a cat.

These two white cats had unfathomable abilities.

Chief Li bowed even lower, leading the way to a grand mansion.

It was the former residence of the Ship Gang's previous chief, where he had visited not long ago.

It was here that Tang Wen had met that Madam Zhao.
