I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 36: Furious Whale Gang
The Linhai Sub-Branch of the Furious Whale Gang is divided into the Inner Hall, Outer Hall, Punishment Hall, Battle Hall, Artisan Hall, and Guest Hall.
They have hundreds of gang members and over a thousand peripheral personnel.
As for the exact number, it’s a secret known only to figures of the level of the Hall Master. Even if Chen Zhize, who ranks just below, knows, he would never dare to disclose it to Zhang Yuan.
As the Outer Hall Incense Master, it is one of Chen Zhize’s tasks to recruit excellent new blood for the gang.
And when he learned that Zhang Yuan wanted to learn martial arts, he unhesitatingly recommended the latter to join the Battle Hall.
The Battle Hall is the most powerful hall of the Furious Whale Gang, even the most ordinary members are Light Force Martial Artists. With Zhang Yuan’s talent, he can easily make a name for himself in this important hall.
Most importantly, the Battle Hall offers the most opportunities for merit and the best benefits.
And the gang’s merits can be exchanged for cultivation resources, advanced martial arts, and even opportunities to develop in the Furious Whale Headquarter!
Of course, the Battle Hall is also the most dangerous.
Chen Zhize frankly told Zhang Yuan that if he did not want to join the Battle Hall, the Outer Hall is also a good choice.
After gaining a detailed and comprehensive understanding of the Furious Whale Gang, Zhang Yuan said, "Brother Chen, this is a major decision. Please allow me to think it over carefully, and I will get back to you as soon as possible." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"No problem."
Chen Zhize said without hesitation, "I’ll be at the dock outside the city for the next few days. Come find me when you’re ready."
As he said this, he took out a small wooden token and handed it to Zhang Yuan, "Here is my token."
Zhang Yuan accepted it and thanked him.
"You’re welcome."
Chen Zhize smiled and said, "We might very soon become real brothers!"
Zhang Yuan thought highly of this Incense Master of the Furious Whale Gang for being straightforward and honest, not pretentious.
Even if he did not join the Furious Whale Gang, he could become friends with him.
That evening, Zhang Yuan made his decision after returning home.
Given the current situation, joining the Furious Whale Gang and leveraging the resources of this martial arts power for development was his best choice.
Of course, there would definitely be risks, but where could you gain benefits without taking risks?
Zhang Yuan was not reborn with a silver spoon in his mouth.
His start in this world was extremely harsh, and he had come this far with great difficulty. How could he retreat and falter now!
Even after finding the answer in his heart, Zhang Yuan did not immediately go to the dock to find Chen Zhize.
He waited another day before setting out for the outskirts of the city.
Linhe County was named after the Celestial Horse River.
The Long River surged tirelessly from north to east into the marshlands, nourishing the crisscrossing farmlands on both banks for thousands of years.
Sustaining countless common people.
Because of the presence of the Celestial Horse River, Linhe County had convenient water and land transportation conditions.
Many merchants traveling from south to north gathered here.
This made the county town prosperous and thriving.
When Zhang Yuan arrived at the dock, two merchant ships were just docked at the berth.
Many bare-chested men were hauling goods under the scorching sun.
Each one was drenched in sweat.
The shouts, commotion, and curses rose and fell in succession.
It was a scene of bustling excitement.
In fact, there were more people living in the peripheral areas of the county town than in the town itself.
They truly belonged to the bottom rung.
Most of them made a living working for large households.
Some also worked hard at the docks or fished on boats.
Trying to make a living.
There was a fish market by the dock, where fishermen sold their daily catches.
It was equally bustling.
Zhang Yuan had only been to the docks outside the city once before, and was quite unfamiliar with the situation here.
As a result, after standing and glancing around for a while, a man in gray clothes came over lazily and asked, "Kid, what are you here for?"
Zhang Yuan’s heart stirred, "I’m here to see someone, I’m looking for Chen Zhize, the Incense Master of the Furious Whale Gang."
The members of the Furious Whale Gang were divided into three categories: gray clothes, green clothes, and white clothes, which represented different levels, with gray being the lowest.
This was common knowledge.
Anyone with a bit of insight knew that this man was likely a peripheral member of the Furious Whale Gang.
"Hmm?"
The gray-clothed man’s eyes immediately became vigilant, showing an attitude that suggested he might draw his weapon for a word of disagreement, "What business do you have with Incense Master Chen?"
Zhang Yuan took out Chen Zhize’s token and handed it to him, "I have an appointment with Incense Master Chen."
Upon receiving the token, the gray-clothed man’s expression lightened a bit.
He carefully examined the wooden token in his hand, then nodded and said, "Follow me."
Led by the gray-clothed man, Zhang Yuan arrived at a row of houses near the dock.
The gray-clothed man pushed open the door to one of the rooms and said respectfully, "Incense Master Chen, there is a young man with a token saying he wants to see you. I’ve brought him here."
"Brother Zhang is here?"
Standing outside the house, Zhang Yuan could hear the surprised voice from inside, "Great!"
And the sound of chairs and tables possibly being knocked over!
Soon a figure dashed out.
It was Chen Zhize!
This Incense Master of the Furious Whale Gang, upon seeing Zhang Yuan, immediately opened his arms and gave Zhang Yuan an enthusiastic hug. Then he clapped his shoulder and laughed loudly, "I knew you would definitely come!"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I’ll be counting on Brother Chen to take care of me in the future."
"We’re all brothers!"
Chen Zhize waved his hand, "I’ll take you to the Whale Dock to meet the Battle Hall’s Master Zhao. You’re choosing the Battle Hall, right?"
Zhang Yuan nodded, "That’s right."
"Let’s go!"
So Zhang Yuan left the dock and headed upstream along the river with this Incense Master, arriving at a Wharf Castle located at a bend in the river.
This stone fort, called "Whale Dock," served as the Linhai Sub-Branch’s base of the Furious Whale Gang.
The first impression Whale Dock gave was one of grandeur and solidity. Its walls were entirely built with blue-gray stones, and its location was easily defensible, making it impregnable.
This stone fort not only had high defenses but also had a waterway dock connecting to the Celestial Horse River.
Zhang Yuan even saw two warships!
As the station for the Furious Whale Gang Sub-Branch, Whale Dock was heavily guarded. It was only after passing through three checkpoints with Chen Zhize that they got inside the stone fort.
The interior of Whale Dock was not very large.
But it was more than enough to accommodate over a thousand people.
Inside one of the houses, Zhang Yuan met the Vice Hall Master of the Battle Hall, Zhao Jinlan.
To his surprise, the Vice Hall Master turned out to be a graceful lady.
Although Zhao Jinlan was not extremely beautiful, she stood out among a group of men.
"Zhang Yuan, junior, greetings to Master Zhao!"
Despite his surprise, Zhang Yuan maintained a calm exterior and respectfully bowed to her.
"You are Zhang Yuan?"
Zhao Jinlan smiled, "Master Chen mentioned you to me yesterday. With him vouching for you, I trust your abilities are suitable for our Battle Hall. Work hard in the future and don’t let him down!"
Zhang Yuan’s process of joining the Furious Whale Gang’s Battle Hall was quite smooth. After gaining Zhao Jinlan’s approval, he quickly completed the induction procedures and received a newcomer’s gift package.
Two new sets of clothes, an identity token, and ten taels of silver as a relocation fee!
And this was just the beginning.
