The sound of fists landing rang out from behind him. Ye Chiding adjusted half of his mask and watched the various performances with great interest.

As soon as it was light, a large number of powerful individuals gathered here. To prevent others from recognizing and coveting the treasures they had obtained, everyone wore masks.

Through Ye Chi's observation, he discovered that these powerful individuals could be roughly divided into three groups.

The first type is a professional team called Senlan Mercenary Association, which has received various high-paying tasks.

The team consists of both men and women. The women are responsible for logistics and medical care, while the men are responsible for protecting the team's safety. They possess the abilities of all three types of Devil Fruits, making the team's foundation solid.

The second type is a temporarily formed team. These teams usually recruit people in their forties or fifties. These people are tough and reliable, and coming together is a powerful combination.

The third type is those who act alone. Apart from those who are truly capable, many young people in their twenties or thirties will be looked down upon wherever they go.

After all, young people have little experience and weak strength, so if they are not Logia-type users, they are not very popular.

Just like Ye Chi, although he has a good physique, the little bit of his face that is visible clearly shows that he is a young boy.

Nobody wanted to recruit a young man into the team, and he was happy to just stay and watch the show.

Chapter 96 Undercurrent

Time passed slowly, and the crowd at the gathering point grew wider and wider, with waves of noise coming one after another. The men with gruff voices couldn't contain their anticipation and began to chat.

"Hey! This time it's good, I came early! I went to that Northern Rift world where they had a lot of loot last time! The problem is I was too late, I didn't get anything!"

"Me too, bro! It costs 500,000 to enter the Northern Territory once, and I couldn't bear to spend that much. But I only realized I'd lost a fortune after the goods were shipped out! I haven't slept for days and nights!"

"Damn it! Last time I almost got my hands on a top-grade broadsword, but someone robbed me! That guy sold it for tens of millions!"

"Damn! A knife worth tens of millions? I was so stupid to go in there every time I wanted to find the Spirit-Boosting Fruit!"

"Hehehe, finding any fruit is just a side job, we're looking for a great treasure! Preferably some kind of kingdom ruins or shipwrecks on the coast, just one of those will give us a good, long-lasting thrill!"

"Big brother is right! I got a fine knife before and sold it to the Tang family, making a fortune! I could have twenty sisters a day, and it would have taken me a year to finish them all!"

"Damn, is that your bullwhip?!"

"Who is that?...?"

Suddenly, the crowd parted to make way, and a powerful man wearing a cheetah mask led the way, guiding the group steadily forward.

This man was burly, two meters tall, with long arms and legs. He wore a white suit and had a short beard on his cool face.

Someone recognized him in surprise:

"Wow! It's Chen Qi!"

"Damn it! Why did the Chen family send him? Is the Deep Blue Mercenary Guild going bankrupt? Do they need him to go in and make money?"

"I don't know! Chen Qi is on that team, I fucking want to join!"

Upon seeing the cool-looking man in his thirties dressed in white, the surrounding powerful figures stirred as if dung beetles had smelled dung!

Each of them, relying on their impressive Devil Fruit abilities, wanted to join his team, only to find that they were just dung beetles that smelled them and started having diarrhea, making their trip a waste.

Arriving directly in front of the Rift World Gate, Chen Qi stood with his arms crossed, his gaze sweeping across the area like that of a ferocious beast. Some people dared not look him in the eye and were so frightened that they underwent strange changes.

"Looks like there are quite a few rats."

Upon hearing this, the powerful figure in the group narrowed his eyes and asked, "Master Chen, do you know whose people they are working for?"

Chen Qi glanced at the worried people, but the person they were supposed to protect this time was looking around in a strange and carefree manner, completely unconcerned.

"I don't know. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. It's simple: how much work to do and how much money to collect."

After saying this, Chen Qi turned his attention to the horizon.

Seeing that this powerful figure didn't want to talk, even the impatient expert was helpless.

Ye Chi also glanced at Chen Qi's group at this moment, and coincidentally, from his angle, he met a pair of crystal-clear orange eyes.

The girl wore a winged mask, revealing a glimpse of her delicate, flawless skin.

Her soft, silver hair was tied up and hidden inside her hat, with only two strands hanging down in front of her small face.

The little ears exposed to the air were as delicate as newly blossoming flowers.

Ye Chi was looking at her, and Ouyang Xueyuan was also looking at Ye Chi, as if they both recognized each other.

She smiled at Ye Chi, revealing a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth. Although it was a smile, it was incredibly sweet!

Ye Chi raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, does she have an automatically adjusting beauty fruit?

Weird.

The girl was extremely beautiful, and her figure, like a treasure hidden in her clothes, was curvaceous and alluring.

Her exquisite attire attracted a lot of attention even though her face wasn't visible.

Someone glanced at her finger and saw a small ring, and exclaimed inwardly!

Damn, a storage ring!

No wonder the Deep Blue Mercenary Guild sent Chen Qi!

Storage ring, this thing was once used by a Door-Door Fruit user from the Federation.

It took a lifetime of frantic nurturing to successfully divide and create this super-precious item—truly worth billions and priceless!

The fact that such a ring is on a young girl's hand speaks volumes about its quality.

Those who were interested exchanged glances, and the numerous informants relayed the message back to Ye Wuji's ears.

He finally smiled and handed over a glass of red wine, saying, "Seventh Uncle, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with Ouyang Xueyuan and Ye Chi."

"Don't worry! You give me a ride, and I'll make sure to wipe them all out!"

"Then I'll go in too!"

"Okay, hehehehehe!"

A high-pitched, joyful laugh faded away.

A tall man with thin limbs, pockets all over his body, carrying more than a dozen knives, and wearing special glasses turned around.

.....

At the entrance to the rift space, a group of military personnel walked out from inside.

After exchanging a few words with them, someone finally stepped forward to speak.

The powerful figures who had been eager to make their move were gradually becoming excited upon seeing this!

"Everyone, the signal station inside has been installed. Once inside, please try not to leave the signal range!"

Once the signal station is established, even powerful humans in the Rift World will be able to make phone calls and ask for help.

However, due to magnetic field interference, the coverage area of ​​signal stations is often very small.

After saying that, you can start making the payment.

The initial rift world required a cost of 300,000 per person for a native of the Southern Territory to enter.

The other three mirrors can come and freeload; each person will need 500,000 Federal Credits.

This is why, despite the allure of the Rift World, not everyone can venture into it for exploration.

Three to five hundred thousand yuan is enough for an ordinary person to live on for most of their life. Who would be willing to spend it?

Looking at the card reader, Ye Chi took out his ID card, verified that he was not a wanted person, and then swiped the card to pay 300,000 yuan.

Even though he tried his best to hide the gold card, quite a few people around him still noticed it.

"Tsk tsk! A gold card? What a rich kid!"

"Hehe, all alone? Don't let your uncle catch you!"

"Wow, we've found a dessert!"

Some malicious people specifically target these times, observing the wealth of lone individuals, and then planning to follow them in to make some extra money.

Hearing the sounds of concern around him, Ye Chi raised a brow and sneered inwardly, thinking, "I'm just missing someone to sharpen my blade!"

He reached out and patted the Yama hanging at his waist, then beckoned to the others.

Seeing that they had been provoked by a mere young man, the crowd smirked, silently mourning his ignorance.

The Rift World is about to begin, and on the surface, the powerful individuals appear to respect each other when they team up.

In reality, nobody knows whether the teammate who was smiling at you one second might turn around and betray you the next.

With the military collecting most of the entrance fees, the noise level here reached its peak, and the undercurrents also surged to their extreme.

"Everyone! The door's open!!"

Chapter 97 Enma's Slash

With a few clanging sounds, the door, which could accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, opened.

Countless people surged forward like locusts, some even more impatient, directly stepping on the Shaved and Moonwalk techniques to move forward.

In contrast to the chaotic crowds, the various large groups were running forward in a very orderly manner.

The wind whistled past Ye Chi's ears, and beside him stood a burly man with a scarred face, grinning menacingly.

They clung to him like maggots, waiting until they entered the rift world before preparing to attack Ye Chi!

"Kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over your gold card PIN and I'll take pity on you and spare your life!"

Ye Chi glanced at him and said, "What kind of stalker clown are you? I'm taking a taxi to get away from you."

After speaking, Ye Chi made a sonic boom from beneath his feet and flew away at lightning speed.

The scarred man stared blankly for a moment after hearing this, only then realizing that he had been insulted by this young upstart using trendy slang.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Damn it! Now you don't even use the word 'fuck' to curse people, huh?!"

"Dry!"

As soon as Ye Chi left, it looked like a frog leading a group of tadpoles behind him.
