Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

"Teacher Li, what's the point of talking to such an arrogant guy?"

A tall, thin man stepped forward with his head held high.

This person is Liu Zixuan, the vice class monitor.

He walked up to Cheng Zhuo and said without any politeness:

"Class Monitor Cheng, you'd better apologize for your insulting words to your classmates, or you'll definitely regret it!"

"Oh?" Cheng Zhuo glanced at him lightly, as if he were looking at thin air.

"What? Want to duel?"

"What?" Liu Zixuan choked on his words.

"A fight to the death."

Cheng Zhuo held the tip of his gun horizontally, glancing contemptuously at the dozen or so students: "I can let you all come at me at once."

"you……"

Liu Zixuan glanced at the seemingly harmless jar next to him and subconsciously shrank back.

His face instantly turned a deep liver color.

Not to mention the dozen or so newcomers.

Even if the attack doubled, it still wouldn't withstand a few charges from a newly acquired beast pet.

"If you don't dare, then get out of here!" Cheng Zhuo coldly shouted.

"Cheng Zhuo! You've gone too far!"

Li Xiaohua's tone turned completely cold. "Why are you so stubborn, kid! Come on, take a look at their combat uniforms."

He grabbed Liu Zixuan's arm, pulled up the sleeve of his combat uniform and held it in front of Cheng Zhuo's eyes, his fingernails scraping against the fabric:

"Look at this! This is a custom-made combat suit from the Thunder Guild, costing 100,000 city-state coins! How long would it take you to save up enough to buy one? You used to be so good at getting things done in school, how come you're so clueless now?"

You're absolutely right.

Cheng Zhuo had no interest in arguing with them and glanced down at the information on his watch.

All he wants now is to enter the Ruins Realm as soon as possible.

Find Xia Mo and Xia Chan.

Judging from the location that team posted in the group chat, they should be arriving soon.

"Old Cheng, how could you speak so sarcastically about Teacher Li?"

Suddenly, Hou Wanli's voice came from behind.

He casually hooked his arm around Cheng Zhuo's shoulder and said in a nonchalant manner:

"I just found out about you. You're pretty good, kid, you actually managed to get a legendary item!"

Cheng Zhuo gave him a strange look:

"Weren't you in a hurry to improve your team's ranking? Why are you still outside?"

"A few more minutes won't make a difference, we'll go in right away."

Hou Wanli pulled him aside and lowered his voice:

"That old Li guy is like a ghost, he's become the tactical coach for my team now. Give me a break and let me join your team and mentor them. The main thing is, she's on that team..."

Hou Wanli glanced at the person diagonally opposite.

Cheng Zhuo then noticed that Su Wantong was standing right across the street.

His gaze shifted between him and Ruan Qinghe with a complex expression.

"you……"

Cheng Zhuo looked at Hou Wanli with a scrutinizing gaze.

Don't look at me like that.

Hou Wanli helplessly spread his hands, "She knew you were anxious to find a team, so she contacted me on her own initiative. You've misunderstood. She and Young Master Zhao are completely innocent."

"Young Master Zhao?" Cheng Zhuo's lips curled slightly.

His gaze swept around casually, eventually landing on a familiar SUV; the guy was most likely inside.

Cheng Zhuo withdrew his gaze and landed on Hou Wanli's rather exquisite attire.

He realized…

This guy used to follow him around every day, calling him "brother" this and "brother" that.

It's probably not quite the same anymore.

Seeing his expression, Hou Wanli showed a hint of helplessness:

"Old Cheng, don't be like that. I still consider you a brother. See, I've never looked down on you for your low potential, have I? Things aren't like they were in school. These days, other guilds have powerful connections. You're not in a guild, so you don't know the difference. Even I, a B-rank, have to be respectful. Why are you being so stubborn? Don't you know how tough it is to be a Wilderness Hunter? You don't really think a legendary Breathing Meditation card can change your fate, do you?"

As he spoke, he took out a card that glowed with a blue light and handed it to Cheng Zhuo:

"Look, a premium-grade spear card, 180,000! Young Master Zhao said he doesn't hold grudges. If you don't want to join a weak team, our elite team can give you a spot. If you do your best to help us compete for the top ten, this weapon card is yours."

"I have a team now." Cheng Zhuo patted Hou Wanli on the shoulder, his tone inexplicably serious.

"Just stay there and do your job. Tell them I don't hold grudges. As long as they don't mess with me, we'll keep to ourselves."

"Tsk... Old Cheng..."

"Stop."

Cheng Zhuo raised his hand to signal, his voice turning completely cold, "If you try to persuade me any further, we're no longer brothers."

"Alright, think it over yourself."

Hou Wanli sighed and shrugged helplessly in Su Wantong's direction.

Just then.

A commotion suddenly broke out on the other side of the street.

"Click! Click! Click..."

Around the corner, six dark silver mechs, each nearly three meters tall, appeared in unison.

Each step sent dust flying from the cracks in the rubble.

The surrounding crowd was instantly drawn to the scene.

The gaps in the armor of these mechs were permeated with light blue energy guiding patterns, clearly made of mimicry alloy. Their shapes were streamlined, and they exuded a sense of technology and sharpness.

The exaggerated inverted trapezoidal shoulder armor is equipped with various weapons.

Some carried artillery on their shoulders, some carried Gatling guns, and others carried chainsaws and heavy swords at their waists.

"It's a Silver Knight Type III Gravity Body!"

One of Cheng Zhuo's classmates exclaimed, "I saw it at the Tianji City Mecha Expo last year! The bare machine alone costs 600 million! It's said that in its fully armed state, its combat power is comparable to a Tier 4 Kashu!"

"Could it be that some rich guy is about to open the gate to the next realm?" another student asked.

Liu Zixuan scoffed:

"Tch, don't talk nonsense if you're ignorant. This thing's base source power index is already over two levels. How could it possibly enter the beginner stage realm?"

The student's face stiffened after being rebuked, and he gave a couple of awkward laughs.

Class teacher Li Xiaohua adjusted her glasses and began to explain:

"Zixuan is right. Source energy weapons, like people, are also subject to the rules of the boundary gate. This Silver Knight is probably a new type of equipment for the Hunting Ruins Army."

"That's right, it's the Hunting Ruins Army." Liu Zixuan raised his head slightly:

"My second uncle is the detachment leader of the Second District of the Hunting Ruins Army. I'll ask him for one to drive and give you guys a good time."

"Brother Liu is really awesome!"

"Brother Liu is so generous!"

Flattery poured in, and Liu Zixuan grinned so wide his mouth almost reached his ears, turning his head smugly to glance at Cheng Zhuo.

To his annoyance, Cheng Zhuo didn't even look at him.

"See that, Lao Cheng?" Hou Wanli nudged Cheng Zhuo with his elbow and said earnestly:

"Even within the Hunter's Ruins Army, only the sons of wealthy families can operate such gravity bodies. Offending those kinds of people is really unwise."

Cheng Zhuo did not respond.

He looked at the gravity-body mechs with some suspicion.

There were no insignia of the Hunting Ruins Army on it, but the mark on that red stone looked very familiar...

"Makka Pakka—"

At that moment, his watch suddenly rang, and the caller ID read, "Superpower is being super rich."

"Feed?"

"Hello, is this Cheng Zhuo?"

A deep, elegant voice rang out from the other end: "Come to the mech!"

"Uh, okay..."

Cheng Zhuo picked up his spear, and amidst the astonished gazes of the people around him, he squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of the gravity-body mech.

The people who had been discussing the matter fell silent as they saw him walk toward the gravity body.

"Click—"

A hydraulic hatch opening sounded.

The cockpit canopy slowly lifted up, revealing a handsome face that was almost otherworldly.

He had a full head of blond hair.

A very eye-catching diamond stud earring was set in her left ear.

She exudes a luxurious yet refined air, with a detached and aloof elegance in her demeanor.

After the outer cover is fully opened.

He braced himself against the edge of the cockpit with one hand and jumped out of the cockpit in an extremely dashing and handsome manner, even flicking his bangs in mid-air.

It landed lightly, without even a sound from the heel.

"Cheng Zhuo?"

He extended his hand, palm slightly raised:

"I am Huangfu Bai, you can call me Captain Bai."

"Hello there."

The moment Cheng Zhuo reached out and touched him, the other person withdrew his hand and lightly brushed his sleeve.

"Cheng Zhuo, a good name, it sounds steady and reliable. This is for you."

As he spoke, he picked up a card with a purple glow from his fingertips, casually tossed it to Cheng Zhuo, and muttered under his breath:

"A summoner actually uses a gun..."

Cheng Zhuo caught it instinctively.

He was somewhat taken aback when his fingertips touched the surface of the card.

What I got was an epic weapon card!
