The Evil Dragon Valley was bustling with activity at this moment, filled with Beast Tamers coming from all directions.
A small path cut through the valley, and on both sides, a large number of Beast Tamers squatted near their Space Wristwatches, hawking their wares.
"Hey hey hey, come take a look! Horror One Star Raptor, available for trade—two Earth Core Energy Crystals..."
"Three Earth Core Energy Crystals for Tyrannosaurus Gene—preferably Horror Level adult Dragon Beast..."
"Second-level Mecha with fifty percent damage, trade for five Earth Core Energy Crystals..."
"Eight Earth Core Energy Crystals! Seeking a healing specialist to treat my poor little cutie with broken ribs..."
"Fifteen Earth Core Energy Crystals! Request assistance from an expert Beast Tamer to improve my Dragon Beast genetics..."
Qin Shou stepped out of his room and was greeted by the chaotic marketplace scene, giving him an instant headache.
As he walked through the noisy streets, he pointed at a chubby young man near his feet and said, "Hey brother, when you pack up, remember to clean up your trash. Environmental responsibility—it’s everyone’s duty, you know?"
The chubby man glanced at Qin Shou and said, "Who are you? Did you see me throwing any trash?" Newest update provided by N0velFire.ɴet
Qin Shou widened his eyes. "Oh come on! Denying it now? I saw it with my own eyes—still going to argue?"
"Hmph, so what if you saw? I’m not picking it up. What are you gonna do—bite me?" The chubby man said smugly.
Qin Shou’s face broke into a grin. "Haha, I appreciate young people like you, who refuse to correct their mistakes."
"Wang Sheng, confiscate this guy’s stall and kick him out of the valley!"
Wang Sheng descended from the sky in Battle Armor, landing with a thunderous boom beside Qin Shou.
"Got it, Brother Qin. Just give me one minute!"
Wang Sheng gestured sharply, pointing at the chubby man and scolding him, "Not following the rules. Are you leaving on your own, or do we have to act?"
The chubby man gasped at the sight of Wang Sheng, realizing he was from the Evil Dragon Valley, and shrank back, fear in his eyes.
"But... you didn’t say there were rules!"
Wang Sheng sneered, "My Brother Qin’s word is the rule. Stall confiscated—get lost!"
The chubby man protested loudly, "This is blatant robbery! I want to file a complaint..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Sheng turned into a blur, appearing behind him and delivering a swift chop that knocked him out.
"Da Wu, toss him out."
Da Wu hoisted the unconscious chubby man and disappeared from sight.
The Beast Tamers in the area trembled at the sight, hurriedly checking around to ensure they didn’t have any trash near them.
Not cleaning up garbage could lead to trouble—how terrifying.
Wang Sheng carried a small bag of Monster Gene Reagent to Qin Shou’s side.
"Brother Qin, what should we do with this stuff?"
Qin Shou waved dismissively. "Is that even a question? Half for you, half for me—comrades share everything, right?"
Wang Sheng grinned wickedly, "Hehe, Brother Qin sure is generous."
After collecting the miscellaneous items, Qin Shou clasped his hands behind his back and strolled through the marketplace leisurely.
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing! Peeing wherever you like? Fine issued!"
"Hey there! You in the corner—your argument’s too loud; it’s disrupting others’ business. Fine issued!"
"What the heck! Selling pin-up magazines in broad daylight? Fine issued... and confiscated."
"Oi oi oi, you two lovebirds over there—public displays of affection during the day? That’s unacceptable. Fine issued!"
"Hey, you with the acne—you, the girl sneaking glances at me. You’re looking shady. Fine—well, never mind. Here’s an anti-acne cream; don’t leave your house until it’s cleared up!"
Suddenly, Qin Shou turned to a sunny-faced young man by the roadside, flashing a smile he thought was radiant.
The young man shrank back a few steps, stammering in fear, "Brother, I haven’t littered, sold pin-ups, or peed in the open—and I don’t even have a girlfriend! Please don’t look at me; I’m scared..."
Qin Shou chuckled, "Haha, little brother, you seem like a well-behaved and law-abiding kid. Why would I do anything to you?"
"Then what do you want, exactly?" The young man was on the verge of tears.
This guy’s smile is so terrifying...
Qin Shou straightened his posture. "Allow me to introduce myself—I’m Qin Shou, the Evil Dragon Valley’s most renowned Beast Breeding Gene Improvement Master."
"This little—uh, I mean, this adorable kitten of yours? Hand it over, and I guarantee I can turn it into a Beast with combat power off the charts."
So it was just self-promotion. Scared me half to death.
In the distance, a group of people shook their heads and sighed as they watched Qin Shou strut away.
"Sigh... Look at Qin Shou, mingling with the Main City Long Family’s crew. What a show-off..."
"More than a show-off—he’s utterly unrestrained!"
"Look at how the Four Little Saints treat him. They act like his lackeys. Why is that?"
"Right? I know Qin Shou’s strength. In West City, he barely reached Vajra Realm, and now he’s maybe Vajra One Star at best."
"No, don’t forget—Qin Shou’s infamous reputation has spread across multiple cities. His combat skills may not be top-notch, but when it comes to swindling and fooling people..."
"You’re saying the Four Little Saints got bamboozled by him?"
"Haha, what do you think?"
"Ah, that explains it. Should we expose Qin Shou and bring him down a notch?"
"Don’t. If you want to, go ahead. I heard Qin Shou is Leng Wanbai’s kept man. Make him lose face, and she won’t let you off easy."
"What? Leng Wanbai... She’s into Qin Shou? Has she gone blind?"
"Never thought Qin Shou had this kind of talent..."
"A man’s mouth... Oh no, he’s heading this way!"
"Quickly, disperse! Don’t let this guy latch onto us."
Qin Shou walked up to the group, swept his gaze over them, and grinned.
"Isn’t this the gang from Mo Xin City and Luoyun City?"
The group nodded repeatedly.
"Haha, Brother Qin, hello."
"Good to see you again, Brother Qin. Seems like you’re doing well."
"Yeah, Brother Qin, we’re relying on you to watch out for us here..."
At this moment, the crowd split apart as Leng Wanbai strolled forward, her steps graceful and unhurried.
