60: Dragon Shield International

Linlin, Sun Xiaosheng, and Wanwan were also stunned by this sudden, generous gift. They thanked him repeatedly, their voices filled with shock and gratitude. The group followed each other on the platform and agreed to play together often in the future.

After this PK ended, the number of online viewers in Du Ruoxi's livestream had already surpassed 100,000+.

Seeing the high enthusiasm of the netizens, Wang Chen decided to strike while the iron was hot. He led Du Ruoxi and the support group on several more consecutive expeditions, all of which were undisputed crushes.

By the time the stream ended late at night, a piece of news that shocked the entire TikTok platform sent netizens into a complete frenzy.

Overnight, seven god-tier whales with a consumption level of 75—the maximum level—were born on the platform!

Even more jaw-dropping was that among these seven, five were actually young ladies.

That night, topics like "Da Lao Lazy Sheep Leads Support Group to Challenge All TikTok Big Brothers," "What exactly is the background of Chenxi Pavilion?", "Du Ruoxi," and "Seven Da Laos in One Night on TikTok, Five Empresses Ascend the Throne" swept across TikTok, Weibo, Tieba, and other major online platforms at explosive speeds, dominating the top of the hot search lists!

The names of Chenxi Pavilion and Du Ruoxi, along with the legend of the seven max-level god-tier whales, resounded throughout the entire internet!

After arranging the affairs of Chenxi Pavilion, Wang Chen handed over the follow-up work to Du Ruoxi and Ling Ran. After greeting Qin Qing and the other girls, he prepared to set off for Hangzhou City to officially take over the system-rewarded Dragon Shield International Security Group.

As soon as the plane landed, his phone received a message from Chen Yi. Following the instructions to the arrival gate, the scene before him made Wang Chen raise an eyebrow slightly.

Twelve figures dressed in uniform black combat gear were lined up neatly, forming an eye-catching sight. Eight men and four women, each with a tall and straight posture and sharp eyes, exuded an aura that warned strangers not to approach.

The leader was none other than Chen Long, whom Chen Yi had mentioned on the phone. He took a step forward, his voice resonant and powerful.

“Boss, the Chen Long Squad is all present and has been ordered to pick you up!”

The surrounding travelers glanced over one after another, some whispering: “Which celebrity’s bodyguards are these? What a grand display!”

“They don't look like celebrities. Look at their momentum; they feel like retired special forces.”

“Who is that handsome guy in the middle? Such a strong presence!”

Wang Chen used his Insight function to take a look at the attributes of these twelve people.

Name: Chen Long (Android)

Position: Captain of Dragon Shield International, General Manager of the Twelve Zodiac Signs squads

Loyalty: 100

Skills: Master-level Combat, Master-level Firearms, Master-level Tactical Command, Master-level Driving... Good heavens, as expected of the general manager of the Twelve Zodiac Signs. He has more than a dozen Master-level skills alone, making Wang Chen's eyes turn green with envy.

The remaining eleven members of the Chen Long Squad were also all androids with maximum loyalty. Each person had as many as seven or eight skills, including basic special operations functions such as command, assault, sniping, communication, medical, demolition, and combat. However, each person also had one particularly outstanding ability that had reached Master-level.

Specifically, two of the women, Long Yue and Long Xi, were actually the squad's sniper and observer. The other two women were responsible for medical and logistics communications.

Since they were in the country, the twelve of them did not carry weapons, and the system had arranged a legal identity for each of them.

“Let's go.” Wang Chen nodded calmly and walked toward the parking lot under the tacit protection of the twelve people.

A bulletproof Maybach S680 and four modified black Cadillac Escalades were waiting. The motorcade drove toward the Dragon Shield International headquarters—the Dragon Shield Building—located in the core of Hangzhou City's CBD.

The entire building was 33 stories high, shaped like a shield, and featured a deep blue glass curtain wall. The four large characters "Dragon Shield International" hung in the middle of the building, looking quite grand.

Under the leadership of Chen Long and the others, Wang Chen walked into the first-floor lobby, where Chen Yi was already waiting.

The CEO of Dragon Shield International was still wearing the same black suit from when he had video-called Wang Chen before. He came forward to meet him upon seeing Wang Chen.

“Boss, welcome to the premises.”

Under Chen Yi's guidance, Wang Chen arrived at the command center on the top floor.

In the center was a massive circular screen, surrounded by rings of smaller screens where dozens of staff members were busy working.

Seeing Wang Chen enter, they all put down their work, stood up in unison, and bowed to him.

Wang Chen nodded to each of them in response and signaled them to continue working. When the group reached the central circular screen, Chen Yi walked to a nearby computer and performed a few operations.

“Boss, let me report the details of Dragon Shield International to you.” Chen Yi pulled up an organizational chart. “The group currently has 1,363 core employees, including 12 management personnel and 1,200 basic security personnel. They are all retired soldiers selected from all over the world who have undergone systematic training before taking their posts.”

“The employees in the headquarters building are specialized talents recruited from across the country. Including cleaning staff and others, there are 860 people primarily responsible for the logistics of domestic security operations.”

“The core of Dragon Shield consists of twelve special operations squads, named after the Twelve Zodiac Signs. Each squad has 12 people, all of whom are android warriors,” Chen Yi continued. “Following a 'three-three' organizational structure, there are squad leaders and middle captains, with Chen Long serving as the general captain.”

“Currently in the country are the Chen Long, Tiger, Horse, and Monkey squads, as well as the Rabbit and Snake squads, which are all-female teams. The other six squads are stationed overseas, responsible for the business of our overseas branches.”

Wang Chen noticed the information on the Rabbit and Snake squads. Both teams had Asian faces, which would be perfect for assigning them to protect Du Ruoxi and the others later.

“Connect to the overseas bases; I want to see the actual situation,” Wang Chen ordered.

The screen soon showed video footage, and six men and women with different temperaments but equal capability appeared on camera. In the center was an Asian male with sharp eyes:

“Hello, Boss! I am the middle captain of the six overseas squads, Rat. These are the captains of each squad.”

He introduced the teammates beside him in turn.

“Zodiac: Ox, heavy weapons specialist.” A massive fellow with explosive muscles; Wang Chen estimated he weighed at least 200 pounds.

“Goat, tactical commander and also my deputy. He concurrently serves as the squad leader for the Goat, Dog, and Pig squads.” A young man with an Asian face wearing glasses, looking quite refined.

“Rooster, electronic warfare expert.” A tall, blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian woman.

“Dog, intelligence expert.” A lean Black man with sharp eyes.

“Pig, ace sniper and our chief instructor for sniper training.” An ordinary-looking Asian male whose eyes gave Wang Chen the feeling of a venomous Snake; as long as Wang Chen gave the order, he could definitely deliver a fatal blow to the enemy in an instant.
