202: Start hatching

Soon, everyone completed their registration and officially became members of Su Ze's Special Operations Team.

Compared to when they first arrived, they were now clearly full of drive and vitality.

Some were even starting to get impatient, wanting to go and line up for Su Ze.

But experience told them that such an opportunity must be earned after making contributions.

So they came before Su Ze and asked, "Captain, what should we do next? Should we go to the spatial rift on the ruins of Azure Dragon Beast Taming University and guard against demon beasts?"

After expelling all the Fusang Dark Guards, they had been traveling across the country to exterminate the demon beasts that had become riotous due to spatial anomalies; it had long since become a habit.

But Su Ze shook his head and said, "No, the purpose of establishing our Special Operations Team is to deal with the large-scale beast tides that might appear later."

"For now, just let the people from the Beishan City branch keep an eye on these small-scale demon beast invasions. After all, we can't let them have nothing to do."

Before Su Ze, Beishan City already had a Great Xia Spirit Guards branch to deal with these demon beasts.

However, after deciding to form a Special Operations Team centered around Su Ze, all strategic resources were tilted toward Su Ze's side, and even the entire branch's establishment might be abolished.

After all, Beishan City is a small place, and there's no need to have two units of Great Xia Spirit Guards at the same time.

This also caused dissatisfaction among many Beast Tamers there, but it was all suppressed by their Branch Head.

"Speaking of which, I haven't met this Branch Head yet... I don't even know his name. On the surface, he seems to be my superior, doesn't he?" Su Ze thought silently.

His current status was quite special. Xiao Sheng and Holy Sun both knew that he was now the strongest existence in Great Xia, but it wasn't convenient to announce it to the public.

Therefore, they specifically created a Special Operations Team for him, giving him the ability to act autonomously without the need to follow anyone else's orders.

"Everyone has come from afar. Just go back to the accommodations we've arranged for you to rest first, and we'll discuss other matters tomorrow!" Su Ze said loudly to the crowd.

But still, few people left. After all, the attraction of high-level demon beast eggs to Beast Tamers was simply too great.

Finally, they couldn't help but come up and ask, "Um... Captain, we don't know what we need to do to get in line to obtain a beast?"

As they asked, they were all prepared to complete a difficult task, perhaps even risking their lives.

Then they heard Su Ze say, "It is quite troublesome..."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Su Ze continued, "First, you need to break through to ensure you have an empty beast slot. Then you have to fill out a form with your personal information, and then go home and wait for a notification. Once you receive the message, you must come over immediately to sign a contract with the demon beast. If you're late, someone else might get ahead of you."

"How about it? Isn't it troublesome?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other. "That's it? You call this troublesome?"

Although it was still hard to believe, everyone left and headed to the prepared accommodations to rest, guided by Sun Hao and Tao Lin.

Only two people remained at the end. One was Wang Zi, whom Su Ze had asked to stay.

The other person was someone Su Ze hadn't expected: Xue Yuhe.

Under Su Ze's slightly puzzled gaze, Xue Yuhe stepped forward and said, "Su Ze... Captain, can I apply for a leave of absence?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "You can, but you need to explain where you're going and what you're going to do."

Xue Yuhe didn't hide anything and said, "I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time, and I want to visit him."

"Your grandfather? Isn't Principal Xue Yu at the Imperial Capital Beast Taming University?"

Xue Yuhe shook her head, then lowered her head and said with some guilt, "Since that... incident last time, Grandfather resigned from the Beast Taming University and joined the Great Xia Spirit Guards to serve the country in order to restore the Xue Family's reputation."

"Could it be..." Su Ze suddenly remembered that Sun Hao had told him before that the head of the Beishan City Great Xia Spirit Guards branch was a member of the Xue Family, and their current accommodations were all handled by the Xue Family to restore their reputation.

From the looks of it, Xue Yu is this Branch Head!

After all, he was originally the principal of a Beast Taming University. Many people in the Great Xia Spirit Guards were his students, making it inconvenient for them to be his direct superiors, so he couldn't start as an ordinary member.

The position of Branch Head was just right, with neither particularly great power nor a clear direct superior.

Su Ze nodded and agreed to Xue Yuhe's request.

After Xue Yuhe left, Wang Zi also came before Su Ze with a smile on his face.

It had only been about half a month since they last parted, and he had lost some more weight; he probably couldn't live up to the nickname "Fatty" anymore.

"What did you wink at me to stay for? I was just about to press my advantage; I feel like I'm close to winning her over. Don't let it be that you have to drink at my wedding first!" Wang Zi said smugly.

Su Ze raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so? Don't forget that I'm your superior now. Whether we act together or separately later is all up to me."

Wang Zi immediately jumped behind Su Ze to massage his shoulders and said, "I was just joking with you. With our friendship, who's counting?"

Su Ze then nodded in satisfaction.

The reason he kept Wang Zi back wasn't for anything else, but because of the demon beast egg he had handed to Wang Zi before, which neither of them knew how to hatch at the time.

Now that there was finally an incubator to help with the hatching, Su Ze had specifically reserved a spot for Wang Zi... Just after Su Ze placed Wang Zi's demon beast egg into the machine, he suddenly felt a notification sound from the system.

After he closed his eyes to check the message, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Not too stupid. After groping around for so many days, they've finally figured out the correct hatching method. I was even planning to go and give them some secret pointers."

It turned out that the purple gold thunder pattern egg, which had been handed over to join the United Nations, had finally been activated and began to hatch after all these days.

In far-off America, John was stunned as he watched the demon beast egg, bathed in thunderlight, burst with a powerful glow.

After many days of research, they had confirmed that the egg's attribute was thunder, after various hatching methods had failed to work.

At the suggestion of the Man in Black, John raised the mjolnir in his hand and tried to summon lightning, finally causing the demon beast egg to react.

"It seems it's not enough! Then I'll continue to summon lightning and see how much you can eat!" Seeing the purple gold thunder pattern egg's light dim for a moment, John suddenly raised the mjolnir high. Dark clouds instantly gathered, and bolts of lightning fell like snakes.

After absorbing the lightning, the purple gold thunder pattern egg actually floated up slowly and actively plunged into the thunderclouds to absorb power.

Feeling the rapidly dissipating thunderclouds, John couldn't help but increase the power of the lightning once more.

In New West City, where they were located, the residents didn't pay much attention at first to the thunderclouds that suddenly appeared in the sky, fluctuating in size.

Little did they know that these thunderclouds would remain over their heads for a full forty-nine days.
