Chapter 004: The Trouble-Maker

Wang Bo was called back by Yako's voice. He came to and said, "Nothing, just thought of something."

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if this whole thing was caused by a transmigrator," Wang Bo said frankly, since Yako already knew about it.

"Can a transmigrator do something like this?" Yako asked in surprise.

To be honest, she had suspected transmigrators before, but the problem was that the transmigrator had already been sent away by Wang Bo, and could a single transmigrator really cause supernatural events worldwide?

Wang Bo nodded. "If it's a god-level transmigrator, yes."

Yako asked again, "Then why would they do that?"

Wang Bo was speechless; he really didn't know. But the myriad worlds never lacked gods who liked to stir up trouble, like Loki, nor stupid gods like Aqua.

"Anyway, I'll look into this," he said to Yako.

If he told Yako now that he didn't want to do anything and just wanted to rest and live a normal life, she might explode and go off on him.

Yako nodded, then had a sudden idea. "Why don't you join the GDF?"

Wang Bo smiled and shook his head. "I'd rather not."

He really didn't want to deal with the United Nations.

In the Marvel world, the UN had already disgusted him; dealing with those politicians only made him feel worse.

Seeing Wang Bo refuse so decisively, Yako didn't insist. "If you don't want to, that's fine. But you can register as a Hunter."

"Hunter?" Wang Bo asked in surprise. "What kind of hunter?"

Yako said, "As I mentioned earlier, many people have gained abilities from these strange events, but not everyone wants to join us. Some don't like the system and prefer to work alone. After some discussion, the UN decided to establish a loose organization."

"It's called the Hunter Guild. Anyone with special abilities can join. The guild isn't very restrictive but regularly posts tasks for its hunters to handle."

Wang Bo understood immediately. This so-called Hunter Guild was a compromise.

Some of those who gained abilities from supernatural events didn't like the system and valued freedom.

But for the UN, these supernaturally gifted people were like time bombs—no one knew when they might explode.

Forcing them to join the GDF would only backfire and cause a lot of trouble.

And they were already overwhelmed dealing with supernatural events, so they didn't want more trouble at this sensitive time.

Thus, the Hunter Guild came into being.

This so-called Hunter Guild was essentially a platform to gather most supernaturally gifted people for unified management.

Of course, the management was very loose, probably just registering names and tracking their whereabouts.

Then the UN would post some supernatural incidents on the guild's board for these people to handle.

On one hand, it freed up time and manpower for other matters; on the other, it gave these energetic individuals something to do, preventing them from destabilizing society.

Wang Bo couldn't help but applaud the person who came up with the Hunter Guild. It was a great idea that killed multiple birds with one stone.

"How do I register as a Hunter?" Wang Bo asked. In the future, maybe all it would take was a computer.

But unfortunately, in this era, computers were a luxury, the internet was just starting out, and the Hunter Guild probably didn't even have a proper website, let alone online registration.

Yako said, "Don't worry, I'll register you."

"Okay," Wang Bo agreed. He registered as a Hunter to see firsthand what these supernatural events really were.

And thus determine their source.

If possible, Wang Bo hoped to resolve these messy affairs quickly and restore the world to normal.

Sigh, he just wanted an ordinary, peaceful life, so why did strange things always happen around him?

When would he finally have a normal, mundane life?

Wang Bo rubbed his temples, thinking.

Yako was a decisive person. Knowing Wang Bo wanted to join the Hunter Guild, she teleported away from his villa to handle the paperwork.

That evening, Yako returned to Wang Bo's villa with a certificate.

But when she came back, she was startled to find two stunningly beautiful women in the villa.

Wang Bo was having dinner. Seeing Yako return, he quickly said, "You're back. Have a seat, Yako, join us for dinner."

Yako didn't stand on ceremony. She sat down across from Wang Bo, glanced at the two women, and hesitated.

Wang Bo sensed her confusion and said, "Come, Yako, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Bai, and this is Xiao Qing. Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, this is my friend Yako."

Yako couldn't help but frown. Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing—those names were too simple. What kind of people had names like that?

"So one's surname is Bai and the other's Qing?" Yako asked.

Wang Bo shook his head. "No, their names are just Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing."

"So their surname is Xiao?" Yako suddenly understood. Though Xiao was an uncommon surname, the world was vast and had all sorts of odd surnames.

Wang Bo smiled. "Actually, their surname isn't Xiao. To be precise, Xiao Bai should be called Bai Suzhen, and Xiao Qing should be called Qin Biqing."

"Bai Suzhen? Qin Biqing?!" Yako's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the two women.

How could she not know these household names from the Legend of the White Snake? But precisely because she knew, she was even more stunned.

"Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Xiao Bai smiled slightly. "Miss Yako, just call me Xiao Bai."

To be honest, she had watched the TV series Legend of the White Snake. In fact, besides that, she and Xiao Qing had also watched other adaptations like The White Snake, Green Snake, and The Tale of the White Serpent.

But Xiao Bai didn't feel a strong connection. She was indeed a white snake, but whether she was that Bai Suzhen, she really didn't know. And compared to the name Bai Suzhen, she preferred Xiao Bai.

Xiao Qing felt the same.
