Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Star Iron Inner City.

Inside the "Cloud Villa" 100 meters above the ground.

A man dressed in a white suit, exuding the air of a noble young master, stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window with a slight smile on his lips and a crystal goblet between his fingers.

He tilted his head back and downed the chilled fruit wine in one gulp, then twirled the stem of the glass with a nonchalant elegance.

"Perfect!"

His voice held a touch of languid nobility as he loosened the collar of his bespoke suit, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes:

"Old Gao, call my new friends, it's time to go!"

"Young Master, aren't these teammates you've chosen a bit...?"

The middle-aged man in black, who was called Lao Gao, stepped forward, but his gaze swept over the row of team members' information on the projection screen, and his brows furrowed.

The young nobleman's charming eyes revealed a playful expression:

"Not presentable?"

Lao Gao nodded in agreement:

"Yes, this time it's a cross-city, super-distance mortal realm, which is more dangerous than before. I'm worried that those few scoundrels won't be able to protect you properly."

The young nobleman glanced at him sideways, then walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

"Dad looks down on my modified car, and you look down on it too?"

Old Gao quickly followed, his tone softening, "This subordinate wouldn't dare, but..."

"Shh!"

The young nobleman put his fingertips to his lips to signal silence, then walked toward the glass cabinet by the wall.

The cabinet body is identified, and it silently slides open a gap.

The cold white light illuminated a combat suit with a deep purple background and gold thread trim. Its surface was shrouded in mysterious energy, making it clearly an extraordinary item.

He opened his arms, and two maid-like girls understood and stepped forward to carefully help him take off his suit jacket, preparing him to change into his combat uniform.

"If I'm going to start from a place like Redstone Town, I have to rely on myself and make the name 'Divine Revelation Hunting Team' number one on the newcomer list! I want my father and older brother to know what the power of technology is!"

He raised an eyebrow, admiring his flawless beauty in the mirror, and continued:

"Besides, you saw it yourself, the strongest newcomer in Redstone Town this year is only C-rank. What's the point of picking and choosing?"

"Perhaps..." Old Gao hesitated.

"Perhaps you could spend money to hire some high-potential newcomers..."

The young nobleman curled his thin lips slightly: "Do you think it's necessary? Once I help Redstone Town become famous, will I be afraid no one will follow me?"

"Huh—".

Old Gao suddenly exclaimed in surprise and pointed to Cheng Zhuo's information on the projection:

"This guy named Cheng Zhuo may have been injected with the serum; he should be the second strongest fighter in your team. If you were in the Ruins Realm..."

"Old Gao!"

The young nobleman raised his hand to interrupt, his tone now laced with arrogance and annoyance:

"How many times do I have to tell you? I don't need any of them. My mech can wipe out this newbie village! If you keep arguing, you can go back to Sky City!"

"Yes... I won't say anything more."

"Don't waste time here, hurry up and make arrangements. Their equipment should be top-of-the-line, especially their combat suits. Use that ten-million-dollar mimicry suit. Check the source cores of the gravity beings thoroughly, make sure there are no mishaps!"

At this point, the young master paused, then solemnly said:

"I certainly don't want casualties in the very first battle!"

"Understood, I'll go right away..."

……

￥￥￥￥￥￥

On the other side.

Cheng Zhuo has returned to the entrance of Xingfu Community.

At this point, his mindset had calmed down considerably, and in just over ten minutes, he had received more than a dozen team-up requests.

It seems his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

With his current strength level, he is still very popular among newcomers.

"Qinghe, go to report for duty as usual tomorrow. Don't worry, I will definitely bring them back safely."

He held Ruan Qinghe's delicate hand and gently instructed her, "Take this ten thousand yuan and buy yourself some things you need for the start of school. Don't be stingy."

"I don't lack money..."

Ruan Qinghe instinctively wanted to refuse, but Cheng Zhuo grabbed her wrist and forcibly took the money.

"From now on, you can't refuse anything I give you. Are you treating me like an outsider?"

"No, no, I didn't think that way." Ruan Qinghe shook her head repeatedly. "But..."

"No buts."

Cheng Zhuo interrupted, "Don't worry, we won't lack money."

"Mmm." Ruan Qinghe obediently replied, turning her head to look at the eerie and terrifying gate not far away, her delicate brows furrowing slightly:

"You must be extremely careful once you go in. I've heard that the danger level of the intercity cross-border gate is much higher than that of the ordinary one."

"Don't worry, no matter how dangerous it is, there are only unranked beasts inside."

Cheng Zhuo summoned Guan Guan, rubbed its big head, and said:

"You forgot, this little guy is quite powerful, and it also has a subtle connection with the three of you, so I can easily find them."

"Um."

Ruan Qinghe squatted down, rubbed the jar's large face, and said in a coaxing voice:

"Little jar, you must protect your owner well when you go in, okay? Help him bring Xia Mo and Xia Chan back, alright? When you come out, Mommy will treat you to milk~"

Guanguan's big eyes lit up, "Meow!"

"It said it wanted two buckets." Cheng Zhuo glanced at it sideways. "What a glutton."

Ruan Qinghe smiled gently:

"Two buckets aren't enough, how about I buy you five?"

"Meow! Meow~"

Guanguan perked up its ears, wiggled its short legs, and excitedly hopped around Ruan Qinghe.

"Wow, this sand cat has changed so much! Cheng Zhuo, did you really unleash a legendary breathing technique?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

Cheng Zhuo turned around and found that about ten people had come. The one who spoke to him was his graduating class teacher, Li Xiaohua.

"Teacher Li." Cheng Zhuo nodded slightly and greeted her.

He glanced back.

They were all familiar faces, the classmates from the graduating class who had awakened their Origin Cards.

"Cheng Zhuo, there's something I need to tell you." Li Xiaohua looked at her former star student with a complex expression and said earnestly:

As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester...

"Are you acting as Zhao Shichang's intermediary?" Cheng Zhuo interrupted.

he noticed.

Behind him were his classmates, all wearing matching combat uniforms.

Including the homeroom teacher, Li Xiaohua.

They all wore the Thunder Guild's lightning emblem on their chests.

"You can think that way, but he didn't send me."

Li Xiaohua's smile froze for a moment, the awkwardness vanishing in an instant:

"As for the teacher, she changed jobs and is now a tactics instructor for the Thunder Guild. She only just learned about the conflict between you and Zhao through Su Wantong..."

Cheng Zhuo remained silent.

Quietly wait for the teacher's true purpose.

"Okay, I'll take the initiative and help you resolve the conflict with Zhao."

Li Xiaohua patted Cheng Zhuo on the shoulder, adopting the demeanor of an elder.

The tone carried a hint of "it's for your own good":

"Just apologize, and we'll call it a day. The teacher can even put you in their team. You and your classmates can look out for each other, so getting a good ranking won't be difficult. I heard you were just looking for a team, isn't this perfect?"

"Oh, looking after each other?"

Cheng Zhuo couldn't help but chuckle.

His gaze swept over the classmates behind Li Xiaohua, whose eyes darted away, avoiding his eyes. The sarcasm in his tone was undisguised:

"Teacher Li, do you mean I have to apologize to the defeated guys who deliberately picked on me? And I have to lead a bunch of noobs to climb the rankings?"

He had just contacted them by phone, and the sarcastic tone of their rejections was still ringing in his ears.

Now that you know he's quite skilled, you want him to be your teammate?

As soon as these words were spoken,

His dozen or so classmates immediately erupted in uproar.

Someone blushed and wanted to argue, but Li Xiaohua stopped them with a look.

"Tsk, how can you talk like that? We're all classmates, shouldn't we help each other out?"

Li Xiaohua's face darkened, her tone hardened, and she adopted the demeanor of a homeroom teacher once again:

"You're the class monitor, how can you be so lacking in strategic thinking? Not only will offending Young Master Zhao bring you no benefit, but your classmates all have more potential than you. You're just slightly ahead right now. Help them get a good ranking this time, maintain a good relationship, and you'll benefit in the future!"
