Chapter 1057: Chapter 255: Planning Ahead, Building the Team [Bonus for Old Bookworm No. 6 Alliance Hierarch]

Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi both stood up respectfully and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Squad Leader, for enlightening us!"

Neither of them were fools.

Since Fang Che intended to collaborate for the long term, naturally, he wanted to help them advance further in Wei Wo Zheng Sect.

So he didn’t hesitate to offer pointers.

"Hmm, think it over carefully."

Fang Che said, "You are different from me. I am from the lower class, so I need to put on airs, but you are of noble birth, which makes you different."

"Yes."

Then Fang Che sat down on a large chair nearby, stretching comfortably, "Any news from others?"

"Meimei and the others send us a lot of messages almost every day, especially concerned about you, Chief, asking several times a day."

"These guys, finally having a foundation and catching the eye of the upper levels. They should make haste to do well and hurry to take a step up, but they’re chatting idly with you all day..."

Starlight Master grumbled discontentedly.

Then he asked, "Everything going smoothly lately in the escort agency?"

"Everything is smooth sailing, almost no trouble at all."

"That’s good."

Zheng Yunqi asked, "Chief, what have you been doing lately? We were really worried sick."

Starlight Master sighed, "What do you think I’ve been doing? It’s not execution of tasks assigned by the Sect Hierarch? These tasks must be done well. Although it’s tiring, there has been a lot of improvement; my cultivation has greatly advanced."

"What is your current level, Chief...?"

"Hmm, Ninth grade King level. The next step is to break through to Emperor Level."

"Ah?!"

Both were shocked.

Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi had no idea the Squad Leader had advanced his cultivation so rapidly.

In just a few days, from King level to Emperor Level!

They remember when they first met the Leader, he was a Marquis, right?

This... speed!

The pair looked back at the past and suddenly felt like they were dreaming.

The three of them talked for a while.

Then they gathered everyone; the Chief returned and addressed them.

Then announced that tomorrow evening there would be a banquet for everyone to feast and drink.

Collective cheer.

Starlight Master immediately ordered Zheng Yunqi to purchase good wine: Must be Tiexue Platform!

Thus, another cheer erupted!

Starlight Master announced a third bonus: At the banquet, one million taels of silver will be offered as a welfare prize, for lottery games.

Small prize: one hundred taels; winning prize: one thousand taels; grand prize: ten thousand taels; top prize: ten thousand taels.

The cheers almost lifted the roof off the Worldwide Escort Agency.

However, Starlight Master posed a requirement: Drinking is okay, getting drunk is okay too, but, should anyone get drunk and act on their demon nature, then no negotiation, beheading, extermination!

This caused the demons to shiver, some already finding emergency help: "Brother, if I get drunk tomorrow, please knock me out!"

"Brother, please, my family’s life is in your hands!"

"Couldn’t you just not drink?"

"Why not drink? How can I not drink? Wine is my life."

"Then take your whole family to die..."

"Brother, elder, father, grandfather... I’m kneeling before you... Have mercy on your grandson..."

"Alright then."

This scene immediately filled the entire escort agency.

Zhao Wushang looked at these guys speechlessly, realizing they were just as rowdy as those rascals from before.

After the Chief announced the events, Zhao Wushang stepped up, face dark, saying: "The Eighteen Hells haven’t had anyone hanging on it for about twenty days, now, it’s time for the exam! The last eighteen, hang them up!"

"Everyone eat melon seeds and watch."

"Executioners sign up voluntarily!"

"Now, immediately, right away. Everyone go back and get stools and the Four Treasures of the Study! Immediately begin! Speed!"

Instantly, wailing filled the skies.

"Vice Chief... spare me... I was looking forward to tomorrow’s banquet..."

"Oh, my goodness..."

"There must be someone worse off than me?"

"I think I’ve gotten pretty good at it..."

"Oh oh... Watching the previous lot frequently being hung up with bare bottoms, I envied them. Finally, it’s my turn! Wahaha..."

"You envy even that? Then go ahead and fail the test for a zero and be hung up."

"Screw you, I’m talking about envying sitting down below watching, who envies being hung up?"

"Hehe... You’re a pervert, don’t argue!"

"You’re the pervert, your whole family are perverts! But... if I don’t do well in the exam and get hung up, I have no complaints..."

"Tsk..."

Complaints and groans aside, everyone scrambled back as if whipped, rushing to get their little stools ready for the exam.

After all, nobody wants to be hung up.

People took the short time running, even looking down at the Law Codes.

Can’t deny.

To these newcomers to the escort agency from Yixin Sect, although every day had been filled with screams and the sound of beatings before, internally, they had developed a notion.

That is: Only when they’ve been treated the same can they be truly accepted!

Now arriving here, qualified and getting to escort daily without entertainment, everyone still retains the ’drifter’ attitude.

Today finally feels like integration!

Although it was already late at night, for these martial artists, dim lighting was completely not an issue.

By dawn, the exams were completed, and everyone looked as if they had just woken up, brimming with energy.

Eighteen people were hung naked in the Eighteen Hells in the morning breeze.

Down below, hundreds of people cheered as if it were a festival, while those hung above laughed, the executioners laughed, and the spectators below had sunflower seed shells flying everywhere.

The event took a turn when Starlight Master started using sunflower seed shells as hidden weapons against those who were hung, it changed the atmosphere instantly.

Suddenly, sunflower seed shells flew everywhere like a rainstorm.

Starlight Master instructed: "You must throw them one by one, hidden weapons can’t be thrown in handfuls. I’m teaching you the technique!"

"Before you throw, you must first shout your target. It counts only if you hit the target! This way, you practice control power!"

While speaking, he picked up a sunflower seed shell and shouted: "Pian Yan!"

With a swoosh, it accurately hit a sensitive spot on a naked guy’s butt, making a loud smack sound!

The naked pig was so scared that he desperately tightened the sensitive area, his butt forming ridges under the strain: "Chief, spare me..."

Hundreds of people burst into excited laughter.

Then everyone started frantically munching on sunflower seeds.

Suddenly, hundreds shouted together: "Pian Yan! Pian Yan!"

Someone else shouted: "Chirp! Chirp!"

Another shouted: "Lightly! The one on the left!"

Instantly, the eighteen people hanging were laughing, squirming, pleading for mercy, and desperately trying to defend themselves...

The scene was chaotic.

Zhao Wushang laughed heartily, grabbing a handful of seeds, munching continuously, then shouted: "Executioner, hit slowly! Play a bit longer!"

Immediately, there was a chorus of wails above: "Vice Chief, please no..."

The people below cheered: "Long live Vice President Zhao!"

Zhao Wushang laughed heartily, feeling triumphant, proud, and spirited.

When it finally ended, the eighteen guys were covered in sunflower seed shell marks, actually swollen from the hits...

Each of their butts was bigger than a basket.

They limped along, laughing and swearing.

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Fang Che said to Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi: "How about it? This is good. They gradually feel your acceptance, and you will slowly find their charm... Isn’t it great?"

Both were thoroughly convinced, bowing with admiration: "Thank you, Squad Leader, for the guidance."

Don’t underestimate this chaos; both are geniuses, how can they not perceive the deeper meaning?

If it goes on like this, Worldwide Escort Agency will become a notably cohesive force!

And extremely loyal.

Certainly not like the Guardians who, with their faith, advance bravely, unafraid of death.

But compared to average Wei Wo Zheng Sect followers, they are much stronger!

And such people will be part of their team!

This is something money and resources cannot buy!

The two increasingly admired Starlight Master, nearly worshiping him.

When the Squad Leader left, the entire Escort Agency fell silent and lifeless for about a month.

When the Squad Leader arrived, even in the deep night, it immediately turned lively, full of joy.

This is charm!

This is skill!

No choice but to admire!

Morning.

The Escort Agency began its orderly work, countless escort vehicles poured in, then left in batches, scattering in all directions.

The Escort Agency gradually quieted down.

Golden Horned Flood Dragon started generating intelligence reports for Ye Meng.

Fang Che was walking around the Escort Agency.

Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi, though sleep-deprived from the night, energetically accompanied him on his stroll.

"Chief, our business is getting bigger and bigger now."

Zheng Yunqi said: "Now the entire Baiyun state escort market is almost monopolized by us, and gradually, our manpower seems insufficient."

Fang Che pondered for a moment and said: "Then I’ll report to the Sect Hierarch to see if we can add some staff."

"And now that Chief’s cultivation has improved, shouldn’t the escort’s combat power also be enhanced?"

Zhao Wushang asked.

"I’ll consider it."

After walking a lap, they stopped at the pavilion where Fang Che had previously talked with Feng Xing.

Fang Che turned and looked at Zheng Yunqi and Zhao Wushang.

He smiled and said: "Take a seat, I happen to have something to discuss with you today. It’s also an announcement."

"Squad Leader, please give orders."

Fang Che sat down and said softly: "It may not be long before I receive another appointment and leave Baiyun state."

"Ah?"

The two were greatly shocked.

"It’s just a rumor, not confirmed." Fang Che gestured for them to calm down.

But the two were already filled with indignation: "Isn’t this abandoning the donkey once the millstone is removed? This Worldwide Escort Agency was developed single-handedly by you, Squad Leader. Now, letting someone else pick the peaches for nothing?"

"What are you talking about?"

Fang Che rolled his eyes: "Even if I leave, the Worldwide Escort Agency will still be under my control. Just not as Chief of Baiyun state."

"Ah? That’s..."

"Seems like they want to set up another Worldwide Escort Agency in another big city. By that time, you two will be split, one staying in Baiyun state as Chief, and the other going to another state as Chief."
