Kunxu's Dark Side (Thanks to Alliance Leader 'Gabriel, That's Me')

Hearing the large number mentioned by the Wa Wa made Zhang Yu's heart skip a beat, and a look of longing appeared in his eyes. He really wanted to make more money.

After all, in Kunxu, money is potential, future, and power. Without money, you can't even pay next month's loan interest. A poor person has no sense of security at all.

The Wa Wa continued, "Besides, the risks involved aren't as great as you think."

"The reason you feel threatened is simply because of the company's propaganda, which constantly implants the idea that 'don't go against the company' and 'going against the company will have dire consequences' into your mind."

"The continued existence of the Dark Tutoring World has its reasons..."

After listening to the Wa Wa's subsequent explanation, Zhang Yu gained a better understanding of the situation.

Major companies have a deep control over the Kunxu First Layer and can even invite the Eight Divine Departments to help them investigate information from all sides.

However, not all places in this world are under their absolute control, nor is there no power that can conceal the investigation of the Eight Divine Departments.

"The poorer the place, the more paupers there are, and the less people Immortal Cultivation there are, the worse the infrastructure is, and the fewer surveillance cameras there are, making it the easiest place to escape the company's supervision."

"As for the Eight Divine Departments and the Municipal Government, which large gang doesn't pay taxes according to the law and have devout faith? They are still protected by Orthodox God."

Zhang Yu said speechlessly, "Paying taxes according to the law and being devout in one's faith mean one can break the law?"

The Wa Wa replied matter-of-factly, "Paying taxes according to the law and having a devout faith—can't that be considered breaking the law?"

"Moreover, behind every major gang is another major corporation backing them. Gangs are one of the tools that major corporations use to deal with other major corporations. After all, the Ten Great Sects monopolize Kunxu, but the companies under the Ten Great Sects... still have to compete with each other."

"Gangs are like chamber pots in the company's hands; they have their own space to exist."

"Listen to me, if you were a regular high school freshman, I definitely wouldn't recommend you go, but since you possess Level 10 Cultivation Method, you're perfect for hiding your identity and illegally tutoring!"

"Besides, we're in the Same Boat, Shared Fate now. If something happens to you, I'll be in trouble too. Why would I lie to you?"

Zhang Yu had heard some vague rumors about gangs before, but this was the first time he had heard so much inside information.

Although all of this sounded plausible, Zhang Yu still couldn't fully trust the Evil God before him, so he sent a message to Zhang Pianpian, asking about the Dark Tutoring World.

Zhang Pianpian: Why did you suddenly ask that?

Zhang Yu: I heard it from a friend. I'm short of money, so I'm looking for ways to make some.

Zhang Pianpian: Yes, you certainly have the ability to win first place in Martial Dao.

Zhang Pianpian: Let's try this address. If we can do it, we will; if not, we'll continue to build up our strength.

Then Zhang Pianpian made a video call.

After Zhang Yu connected, he saw the other person draw a talisman with their fingertips, and a Stealth Talisman landed on his head along the network cable.

Zhang Pianpian: "Alright, this Stealth Talisman will keep your background a secret for 12 hours, helping you hide your identity."

"Besides that, if you want to conceal your face and figure, you can also try your newly practiced Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi."

Zhang Yu watched Zhang Pianpian draw the talisman with curiosity and asked, "How many Faith Level are needed to draw talismans through a network cable?"

Zhang Pianpian: "Don't think about it now, just focus on what you're doing."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the address Zhang Pianpian sent. It was a place nearly 70 kilometers away from the center of Songyang City, which could be described as the most remote suburbs.

As Zhang Pianpian pondered Zhang Yu Pianpian's message, a thought struck him, "My sister knows about the Dark Tutoring World, but she seems to think I might not be able to get any classes?"

"Is it because they don't know I already possess several Level 10 Cultivation Method that I feel I can't succeed in the Dark Tutoring World?"

Zhang Yu's trust in Zhang Pianpian definitely exceeded that in Wa Wa.

Looking outside, he saw that the night was deep, with neon lights hanging high in the sky, making it a perfect time to go out. In addition, he had Stealth Talisman to hide his identity.

"However, if I'm going to go into the dark tutoring world, I definitely need to hide my identity. My sister said I could try the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Does it mean I have to control all my muscles and change my appearance?"

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about how to use the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to change his appearance, the Wa Wa hanging around his neck exclaimed in surprise, "You have such a powerful woman protecting you? She can even draw talismans through a net; her Talisman Arts cultivation is quite high!"

Zhang Yu ignored the Wa Wa and instead tried to change the muscles in his face.

With his Level 10 Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi cultivation, his control over his entire body's muscles had already reached an unprecedented peak; he simply hadn't realized before that he could use this technique to change his appearance.

With just a slight attempt, he saw a dramatic change in his reflection in the mirror. He went from being dashing and handsome to just ordinary. In fact, after controlling all his muscles, he even shrank in height, looking like a completely different stranger.

More than half an hour later, as Zhang Yu got closer to that place, the road infrastructure became worse and worse. When there were still more than ten kilometers left, there were no bus stops at all. Zhang Yu had to run there on his own two feet. Fortunately, with his current Physical Strength, he was not too slow or too tired.

However, the houses along the way became shorter and shorter, the roads became worse and worse, and the alleys on both sides were dark and quiet, with hardly any lights to be seen.

Zhang Yu felt as if he had traveled from a sci-fi metropolis to a dilapidated small county town.

Compared to this place, Zhang Yu felt that his rented room was a pretty good place.

Seeing such a quiet night made Zhang Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

"That's right, everyone living around here is just an ordinary person, so naturally it's time for them to sleep at night."

Sleep, a word that had gradually become distant to Zhang Yu, made him feel a little wistful for a moment.

"But it's precisely because these places are so poor that they lack surveillance and management. Companies aren't willing to invest too much in development here, which leaves room for gangs to survive."

Continuing onward, when Zhang Yu felt his body getting slightly warm and started to sweat, he finally arrived at the address.

The imposing gate, the vehicles coming and going from time to time, the security booth at the entrance, and the sign for "Songyang Beiyue High-tech Service Industry Park"... all of this was completely different from the dark and damp gang headquarters that Zhang Yu had imagined.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Zhang Yu Outer Dao, "This is the territory of a gang that runs an illegal tutoring business? It looks too legitimate!"

The Wa Wa said, "They pay taxes according to the law, are devout believers, and are a legitimate gang."

Zhang Yu frowned, never imagining that gangs could be associated with the word "legitimate".

Zhang Yu asked doubtfully, "Aren't gangs supposed to be all about fighting and killing, and living in the shadows?"

The Wa Wa chuckled lightly, "Those are just low-level scoundrels you're talking about, tools you use and then discard. In this world, money and connections matter. All they know is fighting and killing; they'll just die a horrible death on the streets sooner or later."

The Wa Wa seemed to know everything about it, and she explained, "Look at this service industry park, that's the territory of the Dark Learning Gang. They specialize in illegal tutoring, cracking and modifying Cultivation Method, distributing Pirated Cultivation Method, and all sorts of other businesses. The company behind them is the Deep Sea Education Group."

Zhang Yu was surprised again. "Deep Sea Education Group?"

He remembered that the tutoring center the original owner had enrolled in was affiliated with the Deep Sea Education Group.

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "I remember that Deep Sea Education Group is an education group that develops Cultivation Method and runs tutoring institutions, so why would it support the Dark Learning Gang?"

The Wa Wa chuckled again, "How novel! They're not the only company in the education business. The Dark Learning Gang is their tool for cracking rival companies' Cultivation Method, helping with Cultivation Method experiments, and attacking opposing gangs... In short, it's a tool for doing all sorts of dirty work."

As they were talking, Zhang Yu had already entered the park and found the number plate of a small building according to the address given by Zhang Pianpian.

Along the way, the security guards in the park were polite, and the scenery along the roadside was pleasant. Zhang Yu really couldn't tell that this was gang territory.

Looking at the small building in front of him, Zhang Yu pushed open the door and went inside. After thinking for a moment, he decided to follow Zhang Pianpian's instructions and said to the receptionist, "I'm here to give a lecture."

The receptionist smiled and said, "Okay, sir, please wait in room 105. Our sales staff will be there shortly."

Zhang Yu walked in the direction the receptionist pointed. As he passed several rooms, he heard faint sounds of arguing coming from them.

"Damn it... To sell this Martial Arts set, two of my brothers were fined into bankruptcy, and another was dismembered and sold by the company. And now you're trying to lower the price for me?"

"You dog eyes, arguing with me won't help. That's just how the gang rules are. This is the price for a level 7 course."

"Rules! Rules! I used to single-handedly raid Gold Class Gang's place, taking down sixteen of their underground tutoring centers. Why didn't you tell me the rules then? Now I'm old and can't study anymore, and you're telling me the rules..."

Seemingly sensing someone approaching, the door to the room was closed, and Zhang Yu could no longer hear any sounds from inside.

Upon entering room 105, Zhang Yu waited a short while before a refined-looking middle-aged man walked in, closed the door, and politely asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"

Just then, the Wa Wa's voice rang in Zhang Yu's mind. "Tell him I have a batch of lessons to ship, let's check the goods first."

"You don't know the local gangs. Do as I say, don't let them treat you like a newbie. Let me help you negotiate the price; you'll definitely earn more."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the Wa Wa could directly transmit its voice into his mind.

However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what the Wa Wa wanted him to say, and he then planned to combine the information given by the Wa Wa to have a conversation with the other party.

Zhang Yu lowered his voice and said, "I have a batch of lessons to deliver. You can check them out first."

Zhang Yu's body trembled, and streams of milky white Gang Qi surged from his body, instantly transforming into a cloud of mist that surrounded him.

It was the Level 10 Limitless Cloud Hand.
