Chapter 117: Chapter 117 The Ordinary People’s Happiness

Within just a few minutes, there were already 7-8 gangs that came to ask people to join them. Especially those who had not done the evaluation yet.

Chu Yunsheng went past them and headed straight towards the service counter.

“Hello, are you here for the rank evaluation?” the female staff, who dressed neatly like the professional receptionist in the age of light, asked with a friendly smile.

“That’s right, I am also looking for two men, would you be able to help me to find them?” Chu Yunsheng replied.

“I am sorry, we are only responsible for the ranking evaluation and relevant files management. We don’t track what other dark warriors do and where they go.” the female staff apologized.

“Okay, I will do the evaluation first.” Chu Yunsheng had expected this answer already, so he just carried on to do the evaluation.

The evaluation and the badge from DWH were still quite useful. At least, he would be granted immunity from possible prosecutions.

“Please follow me!” The female staff raised her hands politely to show Chu Yunsheng the corridor on her left-hand side.

The evaluation centre was located on the sixth floor. After submitting the document he received at the checkpoint, he was asked to wait on a long bench with eight other people. They still needed to wait for one more person, then the evaluation would start.

Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the end of the bench. Next to him were two men and one woman, and they seemed to know each other.

“Hello, my name is Xie Yuan, nice to meet you, those two are my friends, Hong Kun, Zhou Yena.” said a skinny ordinary-looking young man.

His friend Hong Kun had a pair of big eyes and bushy eyebrows, square face, and short hair. He was having a stern look on his face, and he didn’t seem to be interested in his friend’s conversation with other people.

“Huh?” Chu Yunsheng was thinking something else earlier on, he just realized someone was talking to him, “Chu Yunsheng,” he responded.

“Did you join any one of those gangs downstairs earlier?” Xie Yuan smiled.

Chu Yunsheng shook his head, he didn’t say anything.

“You did the right thing, those small gangs are not worthy to join in. Nowadays, in Jin Ling city, there are only four big gangs worth joining in, they are separately located in the Northern, Western, Southern, and Eastern districts. All other small gangs will eventually be taken over by them!” Xie Yuan snorted.

“Oh, I don’t know about this.” Chu Yunsheng actually heard some of the information from Duan Danian, but he didn’t pay attention to that information.

“How could you not know about this? Are you really a dark warrior?” said Zhou Yena who had a ponytail.

“Do I have to know?” Chu Yunsheng sat back on the bench.

“Of course! After joining them, not only will your social status be higher than others, but you will also receive more food supply than others. Moreover, in their own district, they can do anything they like! This is how powerful they are!” Xie Yuan explained loudly, he seemed to be very excited when talking about those big gangs.

“Maybe.” Chu Yunsheng smiled. He didn’t want to rely on others. He believed that true power should come from the person themselves, not from others. After all, you never know when those gangs would be taken over by others.

“Pah, how arrogant! You are just a fire dark warrior, whose ability is relying on guns!” Zhou Yena glanced at Chu Yunsheng’s application and said sarcastically.

Actually, fire elemental dark warriors, whose abilities were limited by guns, were not really weak. But there was a problem, it was bullets. Even if they were rank-two Jia-class dark warriors, without bullets, they might be even weaker than the rank-one dark warriors that were able to unleash their abilities using their fists. That was why Gun Dark Warriors were usually looked down upon by other dark warriors.

But Chu Yunsheng didn’t care what they thought, he just wanted the documents that proved he was a dark warrior and a dark warrior’s badge.

“Xiao Na!” Xie Yuan glared at her and said. He then pointed at the evaluation room and immediately changed the topic, “four big gangs’ leaders have already assigned their people to keep eyes on the evaluation room. Once they find a powerful dark warrior, they will immediately recruit them. In terms of others, unless their abilities have potential, otherwise, they will ignore them.”

Chu Yunsheng was not interested in any one of those gangs, but Xie Yuan’s words reminded him that he should not draw too much attention during the test later on.

“Joining those four big gangs will also be beneficial to our family. As long as those four gangs still exist and are powerful, no one will dare to touch your family. Actually, the family members of dark warriors are living a much better life than them. As a dark warrior, you will have to risk your life every day. You will have to fight the insects to protect the city and fight other gangs to protect your gang’s reputation.” Xie Yuan sighed.

Chu Yunsheng did not have time to think about what he said. As soon as he sighed, the evaluation room’s door was opened. A group of ten people walked out of the door one by one. Some of them were happy, some of them were upset.

“How come I only got a rank-1 evaluation!? My punch could kill a red-shelled insect!”

“Stop bragging about it, if your punch could kill one red insect, why could you not break a shell during the test?”

“Yesssss! The most powerful gang in the Eastern District is going to recruit me! ”

“Sigh, I think I can only join a small gang now!”

…

“Next group, please follow me!” a female assistant said politely.

When they got into the evaluation room, what they saw first was a screen. When they went around the screen, a big open room appeared in front of them. There were 10 evaluation counters neatly placed in a row, the evaluation equipment was right next to the counters.

“Mr. Chu Yunsheng, counter 9 please!” said a female assistant.

Chu Yunsheng walked towards the counter 9, there were three evaluators who were already sitting there.

“Mr. Chu, based on your check-in document, your ability is related to guns, is that right?” said a middle-aged woman.

“That’s right.”

“Okay, let me briefly explain it. The ability evaluation will be based on the damage you made to the target object, please use your maximum strength, so we can give you an accurate evaluation. May we start now?”

Chu Yunsheng nodded his head.

He then received 9 bullets. Each target would need to be fired three times. The evaluation result would be based on the average impact damage of his attack.

The first target was a red-shelled insect’s shell, the second one was a green-shelled insect’s shell, the third one was a golden shell. They were laid in a row.

Penetrating the red shell would be given a rank-one Jia-class evaluation. Penetrating the green shell would be given a rank-two Jia-class evaluation. Penetrating the golden shell would be given a rank-three Jia-class evaluation!

Damaging but without penetrating the shell, the evaluators would give Yi class or Bing class evaluations respectively, based on how deep the dents were.

In fact, this type of evaluation was used to determine what kind of monsters they were able to deal with. Although insects had an energy shield as well, the test was also limited to three attacks. In this way, they could roughly estimate the power of each dark warrior. This was what Chu Yunsheng saw from the post that was on the wall, before he came into the evaluation room.

“Bang, Bang, Bang.”

Soon after the shots were fired, the evaluators gave the result: Rank-two Bing-class!

This result was manipulated by Chu Yunsheng, because he just needed a rank-two badge. He didn’t mind which class he got, as long as it wouldn’t draw any attention to him.

The rest of the people also slowly came out of the room one by one. Amongst them, Xie Yuan’s friend Hong Kun got the highest result. He received a Rank-three Bing-class evaluation. It caused quite a stir in the evolution room. Even the people from the four big gangs also tried to break the rule to recruit him.

Rank-three dark warriors were very rare. So many people gathered around to see who that person was. As a result, there was not a single person giving Chu Yunsheng his evaluation documents.

It took him a while to finally get someone to give him what he wanted. When he just got down to the ground floor and came out of the lift, he overheard two people’s conversation when they were coming towards him to take the lift.

“That’s nothing man, yesterday, there was a female dark warrior who came to my territory. We didn’t expect that crazy woman was a religious maniac. She called herself the witch. I was like what the fuck…” one person complained.

‘Witch?’ Chu Yunsheng suddenly stopped. He immediately went back and stopped the lift’s doors that were about to close. His speed was so fast and it happened all of sudden that it made two people in the lift dazed for a second.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you, but the witch you were talking about is my friend. Do you know where she is?” asked Chu Yunsheng. He also passed a cigarette to the person apologetically.

“You need help from her, right?” the man took the cigarette and smiled. “healing is the only helpful thing she does, otherwise, the people from the top would have already eliminated her. She usually wanders around Jian Hua road in the Eastern District. You can ask the people in that area. She is very popular at the moment.”

“Thank you!”

‘What a coincidence,’ Chu Yunsheng thought.

After Chu Yunsheng came out of DWH, He got on the bicycle and headed straight towards Eastern District. With the help of other refugees, Chu Yunsheng didn’t take much time to find the witch.

Unlike Chu Yunsheng, she didn’t try to hide. She was still preaching her beliefs “in the broad daylight”.(1)

Chu Yunsheng knew that the witch hated people interrupting her during the preaching. So he just found a conspicuous spot and stood there. He was worried that the witch wouldn’t be able to recognize him after he shaved and cleaned himself. So he took out the sword and held it in front of him.

He waited about 20 minutes, The witch finally finished her speech and walked towards him. Apparently, she already saw him.

“What do you want? I’m extremely busy,” said the witch with a flat voice.

The witch was already forty something years old. But no one knew why she looked like she was somewhere around thirty years old. All Chu Yunsheng could think of was that it might have something to do with wood elemental Yuan Qi. Compared to what she looked like when they were outside the city, she looked much more solemn now.

“I need a favour from you, I need you to save a person!” Chu Yunsheng got straight to the point. He didn’t use to talk to the witch often, so they didn’t really know each other well.

“Okay, but I have a condition,” The witch answered straightforwardly.

“What’s your condition?” said Chu Yunsheng.

“My believer told me that there is a small granary station not far from here, GCH doesn’t have time to clear those small granary stations, but a lot of gangs are trying to get their hands on it. We also gathered some dark warriors, and planned to take an action before them. I’ll help you, but you will need to help me as well. If we got the food, you will also get a share,” said the witch. She didn’t even change her expression one bit.

Chu Yunsheng thought for a second, then said, “okay! But you have to help me to save a person first!” Chu Yunsheng’s plan was simple, once the witch cured his cousin, he wouldn’t have any concerns. If the granary station was too dangerous, he would just run away.

“Sure, you mortals are always beware of others, you couldn’t even trust yourself,” said the witch.

Later on, one of the witch’s believers even got a car to take Chu Yunsheng and his bicycle to the Western District.

Chu Han was surprised to see Chu Yunsheng brought a woman back. She almost mistook her for Chu Yunsheng’s girlfriend. Only until they headed straight towards Jing Yi’s bed, did she just realized that Chu Yunsheng brought a doctor.

“I can save him, but he will lose all his power!” said the witch after she checked Jing Yi’s injuries.

“Lose?” Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second.

“Yes, he will become an ordinary man, so save him or leave him like this, you need to give me a decision quickly. I’m really busy!” The witch was very straightforward.

Chu Yunsheng couldn’t decide himself. He needed to have a discussion with his auntie first.

However, eventually, they still decided to save him.

Compared to laying on the bed, becoming an ordinary man was much better. They could not wait until Chu Yunsheng had the ability to make a healing talisman, god knows how long that would take.

But since Chu Yunsheng has already made up his mind that he would take care of auntie’s family, it didn’t matter that much if Jing Yi had power or not.

As Xie Yuan said, a dark warrior’s family was the most fortunate people on the planet. They did not have to fight for gangs, they did not have to fight insects. But they could still receive food, house, and cares! Compared to those powerless ordinary people, they were living a much more happy life.

But if you were a dark warrior, then no matter what ability you had, and how powerful you were, you would probably need to fight every day until you die. If you did not fight, how were you going to take care of your family members?

This was why Chu Yunsheng did not mind Jing Yi losing his ability. As long as Chu Yunsheng himself was powerful, his auntie’s family would be safe, and they would live a much better life than others.

“You may start now!” said Chu Yunsheng.
