Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 52

Shen Ye hesitated, then went to the office area to get paper and pen, made some things, and then came back again.

Several boys were still doing high-jumps.

More boys had stopped and were ready to do something else.

“Hello everyone—boys, look over here.”

Shen Ye waved.

By this time, everyone had become somewhat familiar with each other, and knowing that he was the first one to do high-jumps, they all looked at him.

Facing the gazes of the young men, Shen Ye looked serious, waved the slips of paper in his hand, and said loudly:

“Everyone!”

“We are all brothers from all corners of the world. No matter what, being selected to participate in such a world-class exam means you must all be excellent.”

“In order to protect everyone and ensure you are not harmed during the best years of your lives—”

“Manager Qian of Human Martial Arts Group invited me to make some things (Qian Rushan:?).”

“As for the cost, Manager Qian has already paid, so everyone can watch with confidence and consult me.”

“Those who are interested, come talk and have a look.”

Not harmed?

What is that?

Guo Yunye asked curiously, “What exactly is it?”

“Some communication skills between sexes—to prevent you from being deceived, and more importantly, for your mental and physical health, so I’m providing you with some knowledge in advance as a preventative measure,” Shen Ye said.

Opposite sex? Communication skills?

The boys immediately became interested.

At this moment, Shen Ye laid out the written notes on the ground.

Everyone looked over and saw a line of words written on each slip of paper, roughly:

“You smell so good.”

“Is that muscle? How amazing!”

“Shall we have a drink?”

“Your Adam’s apple is moving, can I touch it?”

“Hug me, I don’t want anything else, I just like this feeling.”

“It’s so dark and scary outside, I don’t dare to walk alone.”

“We have enough time, let’s go watch a movie.”

“What should I do if it’s too late to go back?”

“Don’t worry, I’m just your friend.”

“Your hand is so warm, can you warm me up?”

“I’ve never done this with anyone else.”

“Wow, your shoulders are so strong, have you worked out?”

“Brother, your lips look so good, and they seem so soft.”

“My ex-boyfriend hurt me too much, I don’t dare to fall for you.”

“I can’t walk once I drink, can you help me?”

“I forgot to turn off the washing machine when I left, will you come up with me?”

…

The boys looked on in stunned silence.

Suddenly, a boy trembled all over, pointed at a slip of paper, and was speechless for a long time.

Everyone turned to look and saw written on that slip of paper:

“You really have abs? I don’t believe it!”

“Did a girl ever use this line on you?” Shen Ye asked.

“Yes,” the boy said timidly, lowering his head. “I was so傻, I even lifted my shirt to show her.”

Shen Ye looked at his expression and said, “Actually, you didn’t like her, right?”

“Yes,” the boy said.

“And she clung to you after seeing your eight-pack abs?”

“Yes, I regret it now, but I didn’t know how to deal with it then.”

Shen Ye showed sympathy, patted his shoulder, and said, “Remember, girls are not vegetarians. You must be careful with these kinds of tricks and don’t easily reveal your flesh.”

“Also, be careful if she records you with her phone.”

The boy suddenly looked up at Shen Ye.

Could it be true!

Everyone’s heart sank.

Shen Ye also sighed, closed his eyes, and said earnestly:

“Our male bodies are very precious. If you get posted online, who can you complain to? Do you want to be pointed at for the rest of your life with people saying, ‘I have his video’?”

The surrounding boys all showed lingering fear.

“Understood, I must not expose myself to someone I don’t love, and I must be careful not to be photographed!” the boy summarized with a determined expression.

Shen Ye spread his arms and said seriously, “Brothers, I have this experience because I am too handsome. You have already stood out from the crowd, so you must pay attention to these matters in the future and protect yourselves.”

The boys fell silent.

One boy held back for a long time, then finally asked, “Brother, what if someone keeps pestering you with messages online? I don’t want to break ties, after all, we know each other.”

“Just keep replying with ‘Hehe,’ ‘Oh my god,’ ‘That’s amazing,’ ‘Great,’ ‘Really?’ ‘I see,'” Shen Ye said.

“Is that so…What if it still doesn’t work?” the boy asked, still worried.

“You just say you’re going to take a shower, and the conversation will naturally end,” Shen Ye said.

The boy suddenly understood.

Suddenly, another boy pointed at a slip of paper and said, “Brother, how should I deal with this?”

Everyone looked over.

On the slip of paper, it read:

“It’s so cold outside, do we have to keep talking out here?”

Everyone looked at the boy again.

His eyes were red, as if he had some unspoken difficulties.

Everyone took a sharp breath.

—This is too insidious, who wouldn’t fall for it?

It’s truly impossible to guard against!

Shen Ye’s expression became serious, and he said:

“Remember, always go to crowded public places. Never go to remote places that are dark, sparsely populated, and have no signal, otherwise, it will be too easy for her to make a move.”

“But I don’t know if she’s sincere or…” the boy said hesitantly.

“Exactly—brothers, the most important thing is whether she likes you as a person, or just wants to get you—you must be wary of this point,” Shen Ye said.

“Can you elaborate?” the boy asked.

“Of course,” Shen Ye said.

More and more boys gathered around.

In just a few minutes, the number exceeded a dozen, and even more boys were called over.

They listened to Shen Ye’s countermeasures with fear and trepidation.

Midway, a girl curiously approached, but was scared away by the boys’ collective wary gazes.

At this moment, everyone was united!

After a while longer.

The card in his pocket vibrated slightly.

Shen Ye took the opportunity to pull it out and glanced at it, seeing that a new prompt had appeared:

“The second test has been completed.”

“You have become a member of the ‘Newcomer’ deck.”

Colors gradually appeared on the card.

Shen Ye was surprised to find his own portrait in the center of the card.

He saw himself on the card, first taking out a knife, then shaking his head and throwing it away. He then took out a short sword, thought about it, and threw that away too, sighing with a look of failure.

Suddenly.

A light bulb appeared above his head.

As if inspired, he grabbed a skull from behind, held it in his hand, nodded repeatedly, and then stood in place, head held high, chest out, exuding a spirited demeanor.

Behind him were the intertwined darkness and blood of black and red, making the entire card appear gloomy, dark, and mysterious.

Shen Ye’s pupils contracted.

—This Tower of Tarot card has something to it!

It could see that he couldn’t use swords, and it could also see that he carried a skull!

Several lines of small text appeared on the card:

“Shen Ye.”

“Human Martial Arts Group candidate.”

“Reserve card, no star rating.”

“Note: All newcomers join the deck as reserve cards for the first time;”

“Your evaluation will be updated based on your performance in the future. When you reach one star, you will become an official card.”

“Current benefits: You can inquire about some basic information on ‘newcomers’.”

Turning the card over, he saw various exam information constantly changing:

“Your shuttle will arrive at Yunshan Port in 24 hours.”

“Newcomers from major aristocratic families are already in position.”

“This examination, Global News Network has sent a large interview team.”

“The three major high schools are making final preparations, and the spokesperson stated that everything is progressing in an orderly manner, and the examination will begin as scheduled.”

“The judging work for the Tower of Tarot is also ready.”

At the same time, a line of small text appeared at the top of the card:

“You have become a ‘newcomer’ deck reserve card. You can inquire about basic matters related to this selection examination.”

He had no time right now.

After answering many boys’ questions and helping them solve their doubts, Shen Ye packed up his stall and then took out the card again.

What to ask?

Shen Ye thought for a moment and asked, “How many official ‘newcomer’ cards are there in total?”

“54 cards,” small print appeared on the card.

“Only 54 cards… What’s the use of becoming an official card?” Shen Ye asked.

Another line of small text appeared:

“Becoming one of the 54 newcomer cards and retaining this qualification until the end of the exam guarantees admission to the three major academies.”

What?

It was an automatic admission qualification!

In that case, wouldn’t everyone be fighting over it?

“How many people are participating in this exam?” Shen Ye asked.

A line of numbers appeared on the card:

“3579 people.”

These 3,579 people were the most outstanding students in the world!

However, there were only 54 official cards.

Only 54 people could make the list.

“How many cards are in the newcomer deck in total? How many scions of aristocratic families, how many ordinary candidates?” he asked again.

The card again displayed small text:

“Currently, a total of 1603 scions of aristocratic families and 105 ordinary candidates have entered the newcomer deck as reserve cards.”

“Are there any scions of aristocratic families who haven’t entered the deck?” Shen Ye asked.

“No.”

From the total number, and from the number entering the deck, ordinary candidates were a disadvantaged group.

—The gap between people is too great!

If they became classmates later, how could they possibly catch up?

Unless they were unparalleled geniuses!

So now, 3,579 people were competing for 54 automatic admission spots.

If they couldn’t get one, they would only be able to participate in the exam according to the normal rules.

It was like two paths.

But…

These 54 people must also take the exam.

If their qualifications were snatched during the exam, and they lost their card position, they could only take the regular exam.

Shen Ye suddenly remembered that girl.

“Is Xiao Mengyu in the ‘Newcomer’ deck?”

Xiao Mengyu’s image immediately appeared on the back of the card.

She was wearing a bamboo hat, standing on a lone boat, holding a sword in both hands, her beautiful eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.

Five glittering stars appeared in the night sky above the river.

“Xiao Mengyu.”

“Luo family scion.”

“Strength level: five stars.”

“Official card, the undeniable top swordsman among all candidates.”

“Five-star benefits: ??? (You must reach five stars to know).”
