“Mom, Dad. How do you feel?”

Yang Lin and Wang Hong had consumed the Grade One Beast Cores at Yang Tian’s request. A few minutes later, Yang Tian estimated that the Beast Core would begin to work, which was why he asked.

Yang Lin replied, “My body is starting to feel warm.”

Wang Hong nodded in agreement.

Yang Tian smiled as he spoke. “Mom, Dad, this is a normal effect of consuming a Beast Core. After your entire body feels warm, you’ll feel a little bit tired. Close your eyes and take a nap. When you wake up, the strengthening process will be completed.”

“Alright!” Yang Lin nodded.

According to the available records, even a 60-year-old person would not suffer any risks to their health by consuming a Grade One Beast Core. Yang Tian felt at ease when he thought about it.

When his parents had fallen asleep, Yang Tian sat and watched over them until the light faded. He then returned to his room, woke up Drago, and told to the little pipsqueak, “Drago, I’m going out for a while. Brother Xiao from the Tianwei Military Academy is buying dinner. You stay here and look after my parents, okay?”

“Squeak squeak squeak...” Drago squeaked, letting Yang Tian know that he understood.

Yang Tian was finally at ease, and he took a shower and changed into clean clothes before leaving.

When he reached the ground floor, Yang Tian hailed a taxi and told the driver to take him to Paradise. The driver gave Yang Tian a strange look but started driving.

20 minutes later, the cab finally reached the entrance of Paradise, and Yang Tian paid the fare and got out of the car.

From the outside, Paradise did not seem like much. It was a non-assuming 18 story building. However, upon entry and taking an elevator down to the Second Basement, one would find that it was decorated ostentatiously.

After exiting the elevator, Yang Tian walked toward the sound of thumping music. He would pass by scantily clad young women in the corridor from time to time, and when they saw him, they would wink at him.

Yang Tian did not pay them any mind, and he proceeded directly to Lounge Number 5.

When Yang Tian was leaving earlier, Xiao Fei had called Paradise and booked the entire Lounge for the members of Tianwei Military Academy to enjoy themselves.

It was not obvious in the hallway but the moment he opened the door to Lounge Number 5, the music became explosively louder, and it made Yang Tian’s ears ring.

Upon seeing Yang Tian arrive, Zhao Wu-who was eyeing the door the entire time-waved at him.

Yang Tian scanned the dim lounge, noticed Zhao Wu, and walked over to him.

At that moment, there were at least 100 people in the lounge. A small number of them were members of Tianwei Military Academy; the rest were beautiful women.

These women were all here to entertain customers. At that time, some members of the Military Academy were dancing on the dance floor while a few were drinking quietly on the sides. Almost no one was talking due to the loudness of the music in the room.

Yang Tian walked toward Zhao Wu, and Xiao Fei who was seated next to Zhao Wu signaled to Yang Tian to sit next to him.

After Yang Tian took a seat, Xiao Fei gestured to a group of women who were not entertaining guests, and two young ladies sauntered over. They took a seat to Yang Tian’s left and right. They sat very close to Yang Tian, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After that, Xiao Fei signaled to everyone to raise their glasses, and they all emptied their glasses of beer.

The booth that Yang Tian and the others occupied had five Warriors; including Yang Tian, they made six. Apart from Xiao Fei and Yang Tian, the rest of them only had one woman by their side. Yang Tian felt that he was being given special attention as Xiao Fei had prepared two women for him, and they were extremely beautiful women.

After emptying his glass, Xiao Fei snapped his fingers at something in the distance. A waiter came forward, and Xiao Fei whispered something in his ear. Not long after, the sound of the music was turned down significantly so Yang Tian and the others around the table could hear each other when they spoke.

“These kids turned the music up too loud. I don’t know how much energy they’ve got stored in them.” Zhao Wu laughed when the music was turned down.

“Yang Tian, why are you late?” Xiao Fei asked Yang Tian.

“Something was going on at home that took up some of my time.” Yang Tian scratched his head and replied.

“Then your punishment is to drink another glass!” Xiao Fei chuckled. He gave a look to the two women by Yang Tian’s side.

They sidled up even closer and poured Yang Tian more beer. One of them then put the glass to his lips.

“I’ll do it myself, thank you!” Yang Tian squirmed uncomfortably. The muscles on his body trembled in unison, pushing the two ladies away a little.

Yang Tian could not hold his drink well, and after draining another large glass of beer, he was starting to feel dizzy.

“Brother Xiao, was something added to this beer?” Yang Tian asked as he rubbed his forehead.

Zhao Wu laughed. “Us Warriors drink beer like water. If we don’t boost the alcohol content, would there be any feeling to it?”

Following that, Xiao Fei introduced the other three Warriors that Yang Tian had yet to meet. Speaking to Yang Tian, he said, “The short-haired big fellow is Wang Guang, Class Two Warrior. This is Liu Jian, a Class One Warrior who’s about to break through to Class Two. This is Li Xuan, Class Two Warrior.”

Yang Tian stood and shook hands with Wang Guang, Liu Jian and Li Xuan, and introduced himself.

At that moment, Xiao Fei spoke again. “There were two other ladies in the group I’d like to introduce you to, but they couldn’t make it tonight. I guess they don’t like these places! They’re Liu Xiao and Zhou Feng. Normally when we head out, the seven of us form a team with me as the leader. Yang Tian, would you like to join my team and grow together? In the Military Academy, there are lots of teams like this. We support each other and split our gains.”

Yang Tian immediately nodded without giving it much thought.

In this age, it was extremely difficult to find trustworthy companions. It was only in environments such as the Military Academy did teams dedicated to hunting Monsters existed, and the teammates were entirely trustworthy.

“Good! In order to celebrate Yang Tian joining our team, everybody, drink up!” Xiao Fei raised his glass and smiled as he spoke.

Everyone raised their glass and drained them once more.

Having downed a few glasses of beer in a row, everyone was getting tipsy and had let themselves go. Xiao Fei and the others wrapped their arms around the girls by their side. At times they would squeeze them, eliciting the feigned protests of the girls.

Only Yang Tian maintained his propriety and sat there, looking reserved.

“Yang Tian, what’s wrong? Are you not used to this? You’re not a virgin, are you?” The large fellow Wang Guang asked while chuckling when he saw Yang Tian’s discomfort.

Yang Tian did not know how to respond.

Liu Jian laughed as he spoke to Yang Tian. “Men will always need women. Especially warriors like us. Most of the time we’re out there hunting Monsters, so we don’t know when we could die. It’s better for us to enjoy and live in the moment. Yang Tian, these two ladies have just joined Paradise. You should bring them to a room for some fun later. Brother Xiao has already arranged everything.”

Yang Tian scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, “I already have a girlfriend.”

The seemingly bookish Li Xuan laughed out loud. “Yang Tian if you don’t say anything, how is your girlfriend going to find out? Youth is meant to be enjoyed!”

Yang Tian simply smiled and nodded without saying anything. He felt that it was not the right time to debate with his newly met teammates. He just had to stay true to himself.

Seeing Yang Tian squirm uncomfortably once more, Xiao Fei nodded slightly. He changed the topic by saying, “Let’s talk about what we got from this Monster Wave. No secrets!”

“Brother Xiao, you got the most profit? I think you got a Grade Two Beast Core, that’s worth at least 5 million Wu! No wonder you’re so generous to book an entire lounge for us.” Li Xuan immediately began after Xiao Fei finished.

...

Xiao Fei nodded.

...

Everybody began to discuss their hauls. When it was Yang Tian’s turn, he simply said that he found a Grade One Beast Core. He was still congratulated on his luck by Liu Jian, and the others. Apart from Xiao Fei, Wang Guang, and Zhou Feng whom Yang Tian had yet to meet, the others did not get anything.

After drinking a large amount of beer, Yang Tian needed to go to the bathroom. He stood and excused himself before leaving the lounge, walking along the corridor.
