Chapter 26: 26. Zhu Ge Tao
The second floor of the villa was
completely empty and clearly smaller than
Yang Zhou's Zhi-An section's dojo of limit's
training hall.
"Chief" Jiang Nian loudly greeted as he
entered the second floor.
"Hm?"
Han Sen was slightly surprised, instructor
Jiang Nian never greeted anyone like this,
not even chief instructor 'Wu Tong'.
"Jiang Nian, this young man is Han Sen
right" said the soft voice.
"Yes, chief" Jiang Nian respectfully
responded.
Han Sen looked around carefully. There
were five people standing beside the bald,
old veteran. Four of them wore white suits.
The four of them stood behind a black
Tang suit wearing middle-aged man. This
man was skinny, had a hooked nose, and
his eyes were filled with warmth and
happiness; he gave off a vibe of kindness.Jiang Nian immediately glared at Han Sen ,
which caused Han Sen to realize: "Hello,
chief".
"Yep"
The middle-aged man slightly nodded and
spoke, "Old bai, you guys can start. Assess
this young man's strength"
"Certainly" uncle Bai also responded
respectfully.
Han Sen muttered to himself: "Instructor
Jiang Nian didn't greet chief instructor 'Wu
Tong' like this. This uncle Bai, who has a
high position at the dojo of limits
headquarters, also treats this chief
respectfully..... Just who is this chief?"
Nevertheless, it is clear that the chief is a
man of high authority.
[DI!]
All the switches on the fist strength tester
machine and the speed tester machine
were turned on.
[WU~~]All the security cameras on the second
floor's training hall were turned on to
record Han Sen's performance. The four
men and women in white suits
immediately started moving, whether it
was using their laptops or personally
checking if the machines were in good
condition.
"Uncle Bai, no problems" said a young
woman.
"Okay" Uncle Bai looked towards Han Sen,
"Han Sen, begin testing. First start with
strength"
Han Sen took in a deep breath and
headed towards the fist strength tester.
Whether it was Jiang Nian, uncle Bai, the
four white suits wearing men and women,
or the high chief, all of their gazes landed
upon Han Sen. Han Sen, who seemed
relaxed, suddenly exploded like a panther.
[PENG!] The explosive fist landed on the
Machine, Han Sen immediately looked at the
display--'3110kg'��
"Not bad, kiddo" The silent chief smiled
and nodded, "Next category"
The results for speed and reaction speed
soon came out.
Speed--58m/s��
Reaction speed--beginner warrior, perfect
score. Intermediate warrior,
excellent��
[Phew]
Han Sen walked out of the red circle of
the reaction speed tester and let out a
breath after seeing his scores were
normal, "Not bad, good thing I didn't mess
up at the most important time". Jiang Nian,
who was next to Han Sen, also relaxed.
Since some people can't show their true
skill when affected by too much pressure.
"Out of the three, reaction speed is the
best" The Tang suit wearing middle-aged
man smiled and nodded."He's also 18 years old, which is in the
restricted range"
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man
looked at Jiang Nian and smiled, "A genius
has came out of your Zhi-An section. Good
work, Jiang Nian"
Jiang Nian couldn't help but to show a face
of happiness: "As long as Han Sen works
hard enough"
"Yup"
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man's
gaze landed on Han Sen, "Han Sen, are
you willing to join my dojo of limits? I'm
sure Jiang Nian has already told you all of
the conditions"
"I am willing to join" Han Sen had no
hesitation.
"Very good"
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man
clapped his hands, "According to the rules,
you can pick a villa either here in the main
sector or in Yang-Zhou city. You have the right to live there but not to sell it. All of
the villas in our dojo of limits area are all
inhabited by fighters"
"Other than that, you get 20 million
dollars! You also get the Dao Yin
technique, the blade scroll, and the agility
scroll as long as they are below 50 million"
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man
laughed, "Am I right?"
"Yes" Han Sen nodded.
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man
looked towards a white suit wearing
woman: "Go get the contract, but change
one of the points. Han Sen can pick any
Dao Yin technique, agility scroll, and
offensive scroll. As long as they are within
another 50 million, they're all free. I'll pay
for it"
"Yes, chief" The white suit wearing woman
looked at Han Sen in shock and went to
get the contract.
"Chief....." Han Sen was shocked.
Before, the three scrolls had to be below 50 million. Now the cap is raised by
another 50 million, and the chief is paying
for it.
"Han Sen, you're not bad" the Tang suit
wearing middle-aged man smiled, "I like
you, don't mind this small change"
"Small change?" Han Sen was surprised.
From 50 million to 100 million, in other
words, this chief has to pay millions. And
that is small change? Even a general level
fighter probably doesn't have this much to
spare.
"Thank you, chief" thanked Han Sen.
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man
smiled. The contract was brought over and
quickly signed by the Tang suit wearing
middle-aged man. The white suit wearing
woman carried the contract and pen over
to Han Sen, "Sign here, here, and here"
Han Sen scanned the contract. The
contract was crystal clear; all of the points
were straightforward. There was none of
that headache causing business jargon. Han Sen signed.
"Welcome, Han Sen, to our dojo of limits
family!" the Tang suit wearing middle-aged
man smiled and extended his hand.
Han Sen did the same, and they shook
hands.
"From today on, you can move in to the
fighter's villa area" the Tang suit wearing
middle-aged man smiled, "As for your
money and scrolls, you'll receive them
when you officially become a fighter. Your
money will be transferred to your fighter
account"
Han Sen nodded.
"Oh, right, my name is Zhu Ge Tao. Don't
forget that, kiddo" the Tang suit wearing
middle-aged man smiled, and soon left the
building with the four white suit wearing
men and women.
The second floor of the villa was empty;
only uncle Bai, Jiang Nian, and Han Sen
were left.
"Phew, my breathing was a bit tense with the chief's presence" Jiang Nian laughed
loudly.
"I also had no idea that the chief would
come" said uncle Bai.
Han Sen asked with uncertainty,
"Instructor, uncle Bai, just who is this
chief?"
"Haha, kiddo, you're in luck. The chief saw
your instructor and raised your cap by
another 50 million" uncle Bai looked at Han Sen, "But the thing that surprises me the
most is that the chief told you his name!
Looks like he really does like you"
"Name?" Han Sen didn't realize what it
meant for the chief to give someone his
name.
Han Sen had no initial reaction after
hearing the name Zhu Ge Tao. He just
sighed to himself... the name 'Zhu Ge' is
quite rare.
"Han Sen, using our words, that instructor
is one of the Big Four of our Jiang-Nan
dojo of limits" Jiang Nian smiled."Big Four?" Han Sen was startled.
Uncle Bai glared at Jiang Nian and said in a
quiet voice: "This is all private. In the
Jiang-Nan dojo of limits headquarters, the
chairman has the highest authority,
followed by the three chiefs! The chairman
and the three chiefs make up what most
fighters privately call, the Big Four! Each
one of them holds an immense amount of
authority and power. If you want to
become a chief, you have to at least be a
'Elite General' level fighter. At the same
time, your dojo contribution must be high
and you also need a lot of support from
other general level fighters!"
"Oh?" Han Sen was surprised.
There are three large factors in becoming
a chief? Strength, contribution, and
support?
"Han Sen, to a chief, 50 million really isn't
that much" said Jiang Nian in a quiet voice,
"From my point of view, the reason why
the chief values you so much..... is because you're still so young. Only 18 years old! He
has decided that you have hope in the
future and you have the potential to
become a general level fighter. So today,
he invested 50 million to help you a bit"
Han Sen nodded.
Uncle Bai laughed on the side: "However,
Han Sen, don't get cocky. You do have
good talent, but becoming a general level
fighter is extremely difficult! The chief
only thought that you have a sliver of
hope; just a possibility"
"And because of that small possibility, he
gave me 50 million?" Han Sen gasped.
The dojo's rules were strict. The rules were
that the three scrolls couldn't exceed 50
million. Even the chief couldn't do
anything to change that. He can only take
out money from his own pocket to build
upon the original foundation of 50 million.
When fighters are growing, the type of
scroll used has a huge impact on them"
"Well, leave that thought aside for now, Han Sen. The fact that the chief is giving
you special treatment can only mean good
things. The chiefs have broad connections,
whether it's the army, the circle of
powerful fighters, the government, and all
sorts of powerful families..... each chief has
their own set of connections. The chief is
one of the most powerful figures in
Jiang-Nan city" Jiang Nian couldn't help
but to say.
Han Sen nodded.
The fact that the chief is giving him special
treatment is a good thing, what's the point
of thinking about all of this. Since the chief
is helping him, he just needs a chance in
the future to return the favor.
"Han Sen, when are you going to move
into Yang-Zhou city's fighter area? Or will
you move into main sector?" asked Jiang
Nian.
Han Sen slightly hesitated.....
His parents' friends were virtually all in
Yang-Zhou city. His own good friends were in Yang-Zhou city too.
"I'll move into the Ming-Yue sector"
answered Han Sen.
