The little mouse climbed directly onto Jiang Kai's shoulder!

Even if Jiang Kai wasn't a beast tamer, he knew the answer now.

"Hey, interesting!" Jiang Kai looked at the little mouse on his shoulder with satisfaction and gently tapped its tiny head with his finger. "Alright, I'll take you with me, so you don't run into a mountain cat."

Seeing that it was about time, Jiang Kai was ready to leave.

As he was about to go, the little mouse on his shoulder looked back reluctantly at the black panther's corpse on the ground.

Is this human too stupid? Doesn't he know that in the Calling, only the killer has the right to handle the spoils?

Strangely enough, it was easily caught by him, and it had never encountered such a powerful human before!

Jiang Kai returned empty-handed, but Zhu and Nuannuan came back with a full load.

Zhu held a stack of Mountain Rat corpse cards, looking very pleased with himself.

However, Su Nuannuan was immediately drawn to the little creature on Jiang Kai's shoulder.

"Huh? Jiang Kai, what's that on your shoulder?"

"I don't know, maybe it came through the Login Gate... a mouse? Anyway, it seems to like me."

Zhu curiously ran over, "A mouse from the Login Gate? Is that even possible? Why does it smell so bad?" He reached out to touch it, but the little mouse immediately ran to Jiang Kai's other shoulder, baring its teeth at Yuan Zhu in a threatening manner.

"When I found it, it was eating a black panther's corpse," Jiang Kai explained. "I'll wash it by the river later."

After explaining, Jiang Kai didn't forget to reassure the little mouse, "Little guy, these are my friends, no need to be afraid."

"Eating a black panther's corpse?" Zhu's eyes widened as he looked at the little mouse again. "This little guy is lucky to find a black panther's corpse?"

Su Nuannuan frowned, "Could it really be that the black panther fell to its death, and it just picked it up?"

"Squeak squeak squeak!" The little mouse stood up and squeaked at the two, looking indignant.

Jiang Kai shrugged, "I don't know either, but I'll take it with me. A lot of people keep pets in the Calling."

Back to the main topic, since the food was ready, the three of them set off for China City.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Let's go, we don't have much time," Jiang Kai said, leading the way towards China City.

...

While Jiang Kai's team was heading to China City, someone had already arrived there during the Newcomer Trial.

Huang Wei pushed aside the branches in front of him and looked at the circular Teleportation Array not far away, his eyes lighting up.

"Teleportation Array! I've finally made it!" Huang Wei clenched his fists and quickly walked towards the array.

A moment after entering the Teleportation Array, a bright light flashed, and Huang Wei felt a slight dizziness similar to when passing through the Login Gate.

Moments later, when Huang Wei opened his eyes again, the dense forest was gone.

He stood on flat ground, surrounded by a circle of people, all smiling at him.

Looking through the crowd, he saw a city surrounded by gray-black stone walls about seven or eight meters high.

The tall city gate stood proudly, with a plaque in the middle of the gate tower inscribed with the three bold black characters "China City"!

A middle-aged man in military uniform walked up with a smile and patted Huang Wei on the shoulder, "Stop looking, this is China City. Congratulations, you've passed the Newcomer Trial!"

"Not only that, you're the first newcomer to complete the trial, finishing it in 95 hours. Well done, young man!"

The middle-aged man in military uniform was responsible for welcoming newcomers. In reality, he might be a soldier, but in the Calling, his profession was definitely a soldier!

Without being a soldier, one couldn't wear a military uniform.

"Completing the trial in 95 hours is quite impressive," someone nearby praised.

"It's decent, but if others have kill records, he might not be the top scorer," another soldier said, arms crossed.

The Newcomer Trial was a challenge for the participants, but for those who had been through it, no matter how difficult it was, they could see people coming out of the Teleportation Array every month.

Huang Wei snorted, "Sorry, but if I say I'm second in this trial, no one dares to claim first!"

The middle-aged officer looked at Huang Wei in surprise and smiled, "Young man, so confident?"

At this moment, someone in the crowd responded loudly, "With strength comes confidence! We from the Black Tortoise Guild have that strength!"

The crowd turned to see who spoke, and their expressions became serious when they saw the newcomer.

"It's Huang Da from the Black Tortoise Guild!"

Huang Wei's father could become a senior executive at Black Tortoise Military Engineering, and the Huang Family's influence was significant both in reality and in the Calling.

Or more accurately, the two complemented each other.

Huang Da walked up to Huang Wei with a slight smile, hands behind his back, then turned to the crowd and said loudly, "Huang Wei, tell me about your kills in the trial area."

Huang Wei immediately took out three cards.

Two Six-Clawed Golden Monkeys and one Shadowless Wolf corpse card!

When the three cards were released, they materialized, and three beast corpses appeared in front of everyone!

"Shadowless Wolf?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Huang Wei said calmly, "I was discovered by four Shadowless Wolves, but not only did I escape, I also killed one!"

Huang Da couldn't hide his smile as he turned back and patted his cousin on the shoulder with satisfaction, "That's what it means to be one of us from the Black Tortoise!"

"Killing Six-Clawed Golden Monkeys and Ghost Star Shadowless Wolves both earn 5 points each, plus 10 points for being the first to complete the trial, giving Huang Wei a total of 25 points."

"I don't think anyone will be able to break this record."

The soldiers who were unimpressed by Huang Wei's performance were now visibly shocked.

"Scoring over 10 points is rare, let alone over 20."

"This score might rank in the top three among the 23 Login Gates nationwide!"

"We underestimated him; he's from the Black Tortoise... Hey, Huang Wei, what's your profession?"

Huang Wei smiled slightly. These people who had entered the Calling earlier were now calling him by name rather than "young man" or "newcomer," indicating they no longer underestimated him.

"Martial Apprentice," Huang Wei said calmly, "Before participating in the Newcomer Trial, I said that I would be the first!"

"Martial Apprentice... as expected, it's the strongest profession in China! Only a Martial Apprentice could achieve this!" The crowd buzzed with excitement. "This score is incredible, and to kill a Shadowless Wolf, I bet his talent is top-notch."

"To escape from four Shadowless Wolves and even kill one at level one, there can't be anyone stronger than him at this Login Gate."

Seeing the crowd's admiration, like stars surrounding the moon.

That's just the beginning. With his trial results, he would surely cause a bigger sensation, even attracting the military's attention!

Only about fifty people were there to welcome the newcomers, but Huang Wei knew that many more eyes were watching him now.

Huang Wei, full of spirit, said loudly, "I don't like to boast, but today, I'll say it once! Give me some time, and I'll start an era that belongs to Huang Wei!"

The newcomer officer couldn't help but nod, "Well said! Ambitious!"

Huang Wei's words might sound arrogant, but with the support of the Black Tortoise Guild and his own strong abilities, who could say that his bold claims wouldn't come true?
