Chapter 261 Chicks

In the following days, the competition continued smoothly.

At the same time, the country began to issue some laws that seemed baffling to ordinary people and officially established the Ability Bureau.

The establishment of the Ability Bureau, in a sense, also marked the world’s entry into a new era.

However, only a few people realized this.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the reports on abilities-related crimes in the country seemed to be exposed under the government’s intentional control, shifting from being nonsensical fake news ridiculed by netizens to actual abilities crimes with real evidence, even video footage. However, under intentional control, the spread wasn’t that wide.

This was also a gradual process; breaking through from zero to one is always the hardest, especially when it involves shattering rules that have persisted for thousands of years in this world—abilities were never meant to emerge as part of the world’s normal evolution. When the impossible becomes possible, it’s like shattering and reorganizing the World Cup for humanity.

Thus, this impact should not be too large or too direct; revealing the emergence of abilities and the uniqueness of the “Realm of Divine Presence” gradually prevents society from falling into complete panic.

However, a certain degree of turbulence is definitely unavoidable, and for those who have glimpsed the future world situation, this turbulence is like paradise—because this phase is also the easiest time to absorb talent and develop power.

The saying “heroes emerge in chaotic times” is pretty much what this means; once the waters are muddied, there’s a greater chance to catch big fish.

That said, the organization led by the fatty wasn’t developing smoothly.

He did manage to trick Tang Chong and others into joining the organization, but his own strength was limited, and no matter how he could persuade, he couldn’t recruit that many people. So, under his direction, all members of the Chicks organization became an underground multi-level marketing gang, persuading people around them to join the organization for any reason.

But not everyone possesses the fatty’s silver tongue. During the preaching process by most of the other members, when the listener heard their organization was called Chicks, that was usually where the conversation ended.

To the point where now the whole organization was begging the fatty to change the name.

Including Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan.

Xia Xinyan mainly wanted to persuade Tang Tang to join the organization. Now that Tang Chong was already in the organization, they hadn’t yet contacted Tang Tang. So she planned to handle this matter personally—but surely she couldn’t just be on the verge of successfully persuading someone and end up saying, “You’re about to join a great organization called Chicks,” right?

But naming this thing…well…the fatty’s naming skills weren’t that great—his previous organization was originally called the Axe Gang, but later he thought it was too flashy and easily targeted, so he changed it to the Beggars’ Alliance.

Neither was a good name.

Perhaps the fatty felt that the name Chicks indeed hindered the organization’s development, so the day after everyone returned from the Spring Festival, he gathered the core members of the organization to discuss this matter—and not really core members, just anyone he was on good terms with, regardless of whether they were in the organization.

“Naming…uh…” An Xiao leaned back in his chair, swinging his legs, “If we’re naming it, it’s gotta sound cooler. I don’t want my brother joining some organization called Chicks Shopping Cart or something.”

“Hey, that’s not right. Chicks has a meaning—our organization is still in the early stages, isn’t it just like a baby carriage slowly moving forward?” the fatty shrugged.

Bai Yu, watching out for his sister so she wouldn’t fall off the chair, couldn’t help but say, “Having a meaning is good, but you can also choose a name that sounds nicer.”

“Exactly, a rising sun can also symbolize a new organization; shouldn’t it be called the Red East?” Murong Yue chimed in from the couch.

Fatty: “…Fine, let’s change it then. What do you think sounds nice?”

Ling Mo leaned next to Xia Xinyan and nodded to the fatty, “You’re the face of this organization now, so naturally, the name change should be up to you.”

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Fatty hesitated, then said, “Okay then, from now on, we’ll be called the Axe Gang.”

An Xiao: “…How about we just withdraw, I feel like this organization is doomed.”

“Don’t!” the fatty waved his hand immediately, “Let’s change it, let’s change it—how about the Beggars’ Alliance?”

Ling Mo smirked: “Alright, let’s think of names ourselves.”

“See, I told you I couldn’t come up with any good names,” the fatty shrugged.

Xia Xinyan sighed.

She suddenly realized that no matter how much the butterfly flaps its wings, some things are indeed unchangeable.

It’s just…interesting.

Afterwards, others proposed various names for the organization, but none received broad approval—either they were too flashy or lacked meaning, making it difficult to reach a consensus.

“How about we call it Chicks?” Xia Xinyan finally spoke up, “Hatching chicks, at least it sounds better than Chicks.”

“Chicks…” the fatty repeated a couple of times, then suddenly slapped his thigh, “This is good! We’ll go with this!”

Though weak when hatched, after growing up, all other birds must perish.

Their Chicks are just like this, quietly growing, then stunning everyone.

“Not bad, at least it sounds much better than Chicks.” Murong Yue nodded, “Now that this matter is settled, can I leave?”

She hadn’t joined the organization, and she didn’t know why the fatty had pulled her along.

“Wait,” the fatty suddenly became serious, “Are you sure you won’t join our organization? Now’s a great opportunity; once you join, you’d be one of the founding members—plus, look around, who here won’t become a big shot in the future? With our circle in place, Chicks will definitely become a major force. Once you want to join later, you may not get the chance; seize the opportunity, big sis.”

Murong Yue glanced around at everyone and smiled, “Let’s talk about it later. I’m still used to being alone now—but don’t worry, if I decide to join a force in the future, I’ll consider you first. After all, joining a guild with familiar faces is more convenient.”

Hearing this, Xia Xinyan also looked around.

Including Monica, who was watching the whole time beside them, and the other members like Hao Nan from the group; it seemed that unintentionally, they had already gathered a power unique to this alliance. And just as the fatty said, everyone possessed great potential for development, foreseeably achieving great accomplishments in the future.

This was a good start for Xia Xinyan.

At least her early foundation was solid, and having this organization as a platform for development, their future growth would be much faster.

Of course, the most important thing now was still the God of War Cup.
