"Not bad?" Qian Duoduo looked at Gu Yu. To be honest, Gu Yu's answer was unreliable. Qian Duoduo could also say that his strength was not bad, but that depends on who he was compared to!
"Is there anything you need? If not, you can leave now," Gu Yu said, and the next second he and Xu Ling'er prepared to return to their room.
"I have something to discuss," Qian Duoduo suddenly said. "I'd like to hire two of you as my bodyguards."
"No way." Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Gu Yu immediately closed the door. Be a bodyguard? Gu Yu wasn't short of money. If he were, he could simply take out a ball of life essence. Even if it didn't sell for 10 billion, 1 billion would definitely be no problem.
"Uh!" Qian Duoduo's lips twitched when she heard Gu Yu's words and heard the door close.
“I have Originium,” Qian Duoduo said.
Gu Yu, who was about to turn around after closing the door, paused, then opened the door again. "Really?"
"I'd be a bastard if I lied to you." Qian Duoduo raised his chubby hand as if making a vow.
"Ten high-grade source stones." Gu Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and said. Although Gu Yu had a system and enough contribution points to squander, they could not replace source stones. Source stones could be used to set up formations. When the time came, Gu Yu would use source stones to set up a Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation in the place where his parents lived. At that time, not to mention the General Realm, even the Marquis Realm would have to think twice.
Besides, he doesn't need source stones for cultivation, but Xu Ling'er, his parents, and his friends do. Moreover, he plans to establish a gang in the Dragon Clan as his future power, and source stones are indispensable.
"Huh?" Qian Duoduo blinked when he heard Gu Yu's words. He wondered if he had misheard. Ten high-grade source stones would be enough for him to hire a general as a bodyguard.
One high-grade Originium is equal to 10 mid-grade Originium, which is equal to 100 low-grade Originium, which is equal to 1000 pseudo-Originium.
Of course, there are even higher-grade Originium, the Supreme Originium, which is priceless and cannot be bought even with a hundred high-grade Originium.
"What? Nothing?" Gu Yu saw Qian Duoduo's shocked expression and then closed the door again.
"No, we can negotiate prices when we buy things. Ten high-grade source stones are too expensive," Qian Duoduo said hurriedly.
"No way," Gu Yu said bluntly.
"Alright, alright then!" Qian Duoduo looked troubled. He had no choice, after all, someone wanted to rob him, so he had to find a strong bodyguard. Although he didn't know how strong Gu Yu was, Xu Ling'er was definitely strong enough to deal with that guy.
"Pay first." Gu Yu opened the door and stretched out his hand. He just said it casually, but it seemed that Qian Duoduo really did have ten high-grade source stones.
"Uh!" Qian Duoduo was taken aback again; he hadn't expected Gu Yu to be so direct.
"Well, no matter what you do, you have to pay a deposit first. Here's three dollars for you..."
Bang……………………
Before Qian Duoduo could finish speaking, the door slammed shut again, causing her expression to change drastically. This…
"Ten yuan it is, I'll give it to you now, just open the door." Qian Duoduo said helplessly.
"Give it to me," Gu Yu said, opening the door.
Qian Duoduo felt a pang of regret, then the ring on his finger suddenly flashed.
Gu Yu was stunned when he saw the ring on Qian Duoduo's hand. This guy actually had a storage ring, so it seemed that he was more than just rich.
It's important to know that while high-grade source stones are precious, storage rings are even more precious and scarce.
Ten high-grade source stones, each the size of a goose egg, appeared in front of Gu Yu and Qian Duoduo, and a dense source energy suddenly emanated from them.
Gu Yu reached out and grabbed ten high-grade source stones, which he then placed into his source space.
"From today onwards, I'll protect you. However, these ten high-grade source stones are only enough for me to protect you for half a month. You'll have to give me more high-grade source stones after that," Gu Yu said. He had only meant the ten high-grade source stones as a joke, but he didn't expect Qian Duoduo to actually have them. It seemed that she had more than ten. He began to re-evaluate Qian Duoduo.
After all, he casually carries ten high-grade source stones and a storage ring, something even most handsome realm cultivators don't possess.
"Huh?" Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Qian Duoduo was immediately shocked. Ten high-grade source stones to protect him for half a month? That's too expensive!
"It's no use regretting it now, the source stones are non-refundable," Gu Yu said.
"Uh!" Qian Duoduo looked at Gu Yu. If he had the strength to back it up, he would have slapped Gu Yu twice. This guy was a swindler. Ten high-grade source stones! You have to know that the current market price is 100,000 for a pseudo source stone and over 100 million for a high-grade source stone. The key is that these things are basically priceless. And Gu Yu is protecting him for half a month and he wants ten stones, 1 billion? Isn't this just asking for the moon? But he couldn't do anything to Gu Yu. He had already given him the source stones.
"Fatty, come in!" Gu Yu said as he opened the door.
"If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding." Even if Gu Yu is ruthless, he can't be too ruthless. Besides, he needs Qian Duoduo to tell him more about the Dragon Division gang.
After all, at first, we just thought Qian Duoduo was a nobody, but he was able to take out a storage ring and ten high-grade source stones, which means that Qian Duoduo is not simple and must know a lot.
Qian Duoduo walked into Gu Yu's room and sat down on the sofa.
"I want to ask you, what gangs are there in the Dragon Division now? Where does the Jade Maiden Sect rank?" Gu Yu asked directly.
“Jade Maiden Sect?” Qian Duoduo was stunned. “The sect leader of the Jade Maiden Sect is named Li Zhiran. In previous years, the Jade Maiden Sect would definitely be in the top three, but this year is different.”
"Oh? How is it different?"
"I don't know what's going on this year, but all the new students are prodigies. Geniuses trained by conglomerates, geniuses from aristocratic families, and geniuses from sects are all here. In previous years, we often saw martial artists among the new students, but this year, not only are there martial artists, but there are also many grandmasters. Some of them are even close to the Vertex Realm. What's even more amazing is that it's said that two of them have already reached the Vertex Realm." Qian Duoduo's tone was full of shock and disbelief, but he had no choice but to believe it because he had already met this year's new students.
Qian Duoduo was a new student, and in previous years, his cultivation level would have been enough to make him the king among the new students—a high-level martial artist! That was very rare! But this year was different; he was just a nobody.
"This..." Gu Yu was also a little unsettled after hearing Qian Duoduo's words. There were many grandmasters. Could it be that the aristocratic families, financial groups and sects had sent their own geniuses? It seems that it is not yet time.
However, upon closer reflection, the Southwest Source Gate opened ahead of schedule, and even the Northern Snow Mountain Source Gate almost opened twice, along with many other things. Perhaps the difference from the previous life is that the human disasters in this life will come earlier, so those aristocratic families, financial groups, and sects can no longer sit still.
Kunlun Origin Gate is an unclaimed land, devoid of any living beings, yet brimming with resources and opportunities. All these people have come here for Kunlun Origin Gate.
“Li Zhiran, the sect leader of the Jade Maiden Sect, is also a new student this year. Her cultivation level is already at the half-step Construct Realm. Compared to the girl you brought, she is no weaker, but she can only rank sixth among the new students.” Qian Duoduo continued, “Of course, she is older than the girl you brought, at twenty-seven years old.”
"So the Jade Maiden Sect is the sixth-ranked gang?" Gu Yu asked Qian Duoduo.
“Tenth,” Qian Duoduo replied after thinking for a moment. “If Li Zhiran accepted both men and women, she might rank sixth, but she only accepts women. It is said that she suffered heartbreak and felt that there was no good man in the world.”
"She met a heartless man?" Gu Yu was taken aback; he was still somewhat interested in gossip.
"I don't know then," Qian Duoduo said.
"I want to know about the gangs in front of the Jade Maiden Sect, and the top-ranked students," Gu Yu said.
"Ranked ahead of Li Zhiran is Jiang Tianchen. His cultivation level is the same as Li Zhiran's, but he has three more blood apertures, so he is ranked above Li Zhiran. The gang he founded is called Xingmen, and he is ranked sixth."
"How many blood orifices did he fill?"
“96 blood orifices,” Qian Duoduo said.
"Oh!" Gu Yu nodded. Ninety-six blood apertures were already quite good.
"Above Jiang Tianchen is Lu Yun, who has filled ninety-nine blood apertures and is the sect leader of Yunmen, which ranks fifth. Above Jiang Tianchen is Ma Li, who is said to have filled 108 blood apertures and can even unleash the strength of the Spine Realm. Most importantly, he is the youngest, only eighteen years old. If it weren't for the fact that the two people ahead of him are at the Spine Realm, he would probably be the undisputed number one. The sect he founded is called the Northeast Gang, and he even calls himself the Little King of the Northeast. However, he has never been in the Dragon Division, so the Northeast Gang can only be ranked seventh." Qian Duoduo's eyes showed some admiration when she talked about Ma Li.
"Ma Li?" Upon hearing this name, Gu Yu frowned. In the battle with Ma Li, Ma Li was indeed very powerful, but his own strength was not enough to unleash the power of the Spine Realm. However, the opponent had the Dragon Source. If he used the Dragon Source, no one could defeat him, except for himself, of course. He had the Dragon Source, which naturally countered the Dragon Source.
"Do you know Ma Li?" Qian Duoduo asked when she saw Gu Yu frowning.
"We know each other, and we've even fought before," Gu Yu said.
"Huh?" Qian Duoduo was shocked after hearing Gu Yu's words. "You fought with Ma Li? Who won?"
"It's not a question of who won or lost," Gu Yu said. Theoretically, he won, but that was because of the power of the Dragon Source. If it were a true one-on-one fight, Gu Yu would have undoubtedly lost.
"Could it be a draw?" Qian Duoduo suddenly looked at Gu Yu. If Gu Yu could fight Ma Li without losing, wouldn't that prove that Gu Yu's strength ranked third among the new students of the Dragon Division? Then his ten high-grade source stones would not have been wasted.
“Let’s talk about the first and second!” Gu Yu said, looking at Qian Duoduo.
"The second one is called Kong Yue. She comes from the Kong family, one of the four great families of Shengjing. Her strength is already at the first level. No one has ever seen her make a move. She founded the Vermilion Bird Gate, which ranks fourth among the many gangs in the Dragon Division. The first one is quite remarkable. He is called Xiang Tianyou. He is from the Xiang family, the head of the four great families of Shengjing. His strength is unfathomable. It is said that he once killed someone at the first level. The White Tiger Gate, which he founded, ranks second among the many gangs," Qian Duoduo said.
"And who's number one?" Gu Yu asked. After saying so much, even Xiang Tianyou, who was ranked first among the new students, had been mentioned, but the number one group had not yet emerged.
"The first one is called the Divine Dynasty. It was established by some senior students. Among them are several experts at the Cone Realm. It is said that the sect leader is a Three Cone Realm expert named Dugu Xing," Qian Duoduo explained.
"Divine Dynasty, Dugu Xing?" Gu Yu frowned instantly when he heard Dugu Xing's name. In his previous life, he had fought Dugu Xing several times. This person was a top genius cultivated by a wealthy family and aristocratic family. Even Gu Yu, a grandmaster who was almost at the Divine Realm, was helpless against this person.
"You didn't fight Dugu Xing before, did you?" Qian Duoduo asked tentatively, looking at Gu Yu who was frowning.
"I guess so!" Gu Yu nodded.
"What?" Qian Duoduo looked at Gu Yu. Gu Yu said he had fought with Ma Li, and Qian Duoduo believed him, but now he said he had fought with Dugu Xing? That was nonsense! Dugu Xing was someone even the strongest new students couldn't defeat if they joined forces. How could Gu Yu say he had fought him? Three Cones, let alone fighting a Grandmaster, even if he only gave Two Cones one hand, Two Cones would surely die.
He looked at Gu Yu and suddenly realized he'd been tricked. Could Gu Yu be a fraud? A spineless coward who only knew how to hide behind women and loved to brag.
Little did Qian Duoduo know that Gu Yu was referring to his past life.
"Which gang is ranked third?" Gu Yu asked. There are only seven gangs in the top ten now, three short of the top ten.
"Third is the Gathering of Heroes, also formed by veteran students. Since the veteran students all went to the Southwest Source Gate, the Gathering of Heroes now only has one First-Rank Master left, but its overall strength should not be underestimated. Eighth is the Dragon Soaring Society, established by new student Liang Chaogang and veteran student Xing Guang. Its overall strength is also good. Both of them are 12th-Rank Grandmasters, but they have too few Blood Apertures opened. Ninth is the Brotherhood Alliance, a gang that has always existed in the Dragon Division. Basically, students without background or backing can join. However, recently, the pillar of the Brotherhood Alliance, Li Jie, died while on a mission, and their First-Rank Masters, since the veteran students have all gone to the Southwest Source Gate, probably won't be able to return. So the Brotherhood Alliance probably won't last much longer." Qian Duoduo finished introducing the other gangs in one breath.
"Brotherhood," Gu Yu murmured.
“The Dragon Clan has other small gangs, but they are too weak. Compared to the ones mentioned above, especially this year, most of the veteran students went to the Southwest Source Sect, and the new students have extremely extraordinary talents, so they are not worth mentioning at all,” Qian Duoduo said.
"Which gang are you from?" Gu Yu looked at Qian Duoduo. Someone with Qian Duoduo's extraordinary background, even if he wasn't very strong, would probably be wanted by many gangs.
"Sigh!" Qian Duoduo sighed, a trace of sadness appearing on his chubby face. He had unfulfilled his ambitions. "When I joined the Dragon Clan, I thought I would dominate the world and establish my own gang. But reality is too cruel. I'm suppressed everywhere I go here! Those people treat me like a fat sheep. At first, I thought I could join a gang, pay to avoid trouble, and get by. But they've gone too far. I can't bear it anymore, but I have no choice but to endure it."
"Uh!" Gu Yu looked at Qian Duoduo, who looked aggrieved. It seemed that this chubby boy had been robbed quite a bit. Well, he was a fat sheep! Who wouldn't want to take a bite or scrape off some fat? "No wonder you asked me to be your bodyguard."
Gu Yu seemed to understand something. To be precise, the chubby boy didn't want him to be his bodyguard, but rather, after seeing Xu Ling'er's strength, he wanted Xu Ling'er to be his bodyguard.
Just then, there was a knock on Gu Yu's door.
"Qian Duoduo, I know you're in there. Get out here right now and hand over the protection money you owe the gang." A man outside said impatiently, "I know you're in there. If you don't come out, I'll give you another round of fun."
"They're here," Qian Duoduo said to Gu Yu. Looking at the terrified little fat boy, Gu Yu shook his head and then prepared to open the door and chase these annoying guys away.
At that moment, Xu Ling'er also heard someone knocking on Gu Yu's door, but she was taking a shower and couldn't come out immediately.
Just as Gu Yu walked to the door and was about to open it, his door was suddenly hit by a tremendous force and shattered into pieces. A man exuding energy emanated from his body.
"You fat bastard, I'll strangle you today." The man cursed as he saw Qian Duoduo hiding behind the sofa. Then he walked inside and reached out to push Gu Yu aside.
At this moment, Gu Yu's face was already showing anger; this person had actually kicked down his door.
Just as his hand was pushing towards Gu Yu, Gu Yu reached out and grabbed his hand.
The man's expression changed instantly, and he let out a shrill scream.
Click...
"Has no one ever told you that you need someone's permission to enter their home?" Gu Yu said coldly, and the next second he kicked the man in the stomach.
The man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and his body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into another room.
"Awesome." Qian Duoduo gave Gu Yu a thumbs up when he saw this. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't have the ability.
boom………
The next second, the man walked out of another room. He looked disheveled, but he was still very arrogant. "Who are you? How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am? My name is Jiang Feng, and my cousin is Jiang Tianchen, the leader of the Star Gate."
"Trash, never heard of it." Gu Yu appeared in front of Jiang Feng in the next second, and a terrifying aura instantly spread out, pressing down on Jiang Feng so that he immediately knelt on the ground.
"What are you going to do? If you kill me, my cousin and the Dragon Clan will not let you off." Jiang Feng was frightened. Gu Yu was very strong, so strong that he had no chance of resisting him.
"Kill you? You're not worthy," Gu Yu said. The next second, he slapped Jiang Feng with his palm, sending Jiang Feng flying backward again. He flew through the wall, out of the dormitory building, and crashed to the ground, his fate unknown.
In the corridor, the students who witnessed this scene through the peephole were all shocked. They had thought Xu Ling'er was already strong enough, but they didn't expect Gu Yu to be so terrifying as well. Both of them were Grandmasters, and they could feel the pressure emanating from Gu Yu. This was the kind of power that only a person with a unified spirit and energy could possess. Gu Yu was actually about to step into the Vertebra Realm, and he was too young. It seemed that the Dragon Division was about to fall into chaos again, and a new figure was about to rise.
