As Luo Feng reunited with his parents and younger brother, the Moonlight Community buzzed with excitement again, for the president from the main city and three executives were about to arrive.
Head Instructor Wu Tong led dozens of warriors in waiting.
“Why are the president and the three executives coming today?”
“It’s rare for these four titans to visit our community,” murmured the warriors.
“Here they come,” Wu Tong looked up to the sky.
Everyone fell silent and turned their eyes skyward.
A streak of light tore through the air, then decelerated, transforming into a hovering deep-blue flying saucer-shaped fighter jet above the Moonlight Community, slowly descending.
“Let’s go and greet the president,” Wu Tong led the dozens of warriors to welcome them. Other warriors’ families were forbidden from approaching; after all, this was the reception for the president and the three executives. How could it be a chaotic crowd of onlookers?
Whoosh—
The hatch opened, and a staircase automatically extended. President Zhou, dressed in black, led the way, followed by the three executives descending the steps one by one.
“Greetings, President and executives,” Wu Tong bowed.
“Greetings, President and executives,” the group of warriors bowed.
Many warriors’ families in the distance were excited, whispering in hushed tones. These were the four titans of the Jiangnan Base City of the Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute! It was hard to even see one of them under normal circumstances!
“Hmm,” Zhou Zhengyong nodded.
The warriors held their breath, just like when Wu Tong had led Luo Feng to meet Executive Zhuge Tao, all were very respectful. It was evident that the status of a city’s head instructor was far below that of a base city executive, not to mention compared to the president!
“Is Investigator Luo home?” Zhou Zhengyong asked with a smile.
Silence!
Wu Tong and the dozens of warriors were stunned. Investigator Luo? Who was Investigator Luo?
“Lo… Luo Investigator?” Wu Tong’s eyes widened.
“It’s Luo Feng, Investigator Luo,” Zhou Zhengyong smiled. He dared not casually say ‘that kid Luo Feng’; after all, this man was his immediate superior, rated by the Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute’s top decision-makers as the ‘Invincible War God’—how could Zhou Zhengyong, merely a middle-tier War God, dare provoke him?
“Luo Feng? Luo Investigator?” Wu Tong and the group were somewhat baffled.
Zhuge Tao beside him smiled, “The global headquarters has issued an appointment; War God Luo Feng has officially become the Investigator of our Jiangnan Base City Pinnacle Hall. We came here today to pay our respects to Investigator Luo.”
“Luo Feng is at home with his family,” Wu Tong quickly responded, “Mr. President, three executives, should we inform the Investigator?”
“I’ll call him myself,” Zhou Zhengyong smiled as he dialed.
Wu Tong and the group of warriors stared at Zhou Zhengyong.
The call connected.
“Oh, Investigator Luo, this is Zhou Zhengyong,” Zhou’s face was full of smiles and sincerity. “I’m already at the Moonlight Community, with the three executives beside me. No rush, no rush. We’ll wait for you at the Hall.”
After hanging up, Zhou Zhengyong looked at Wu Tong and smiled, “Wu Tong, come, let’s take a look at your Yangzhou Pinnacle Hall.”
“Yes, President,” Wu Tong quickly followed.
…
The Moonlight Community soon erupted with excitement. The news that Luo Feng was the new Investigator of the Jiangnan Base City Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute spread like wildfire. Except for those not in the community, most had heard. Everyone was excited and shocked, recalling the earlier flying fighter, everything suddenly made sense.
“No wonder Luo Feng could afford a flying fighter; he’s become the Investigator.”
“Call him Investigator, not shouting ‘Luo Feng, Luo Feng’.”
“The Investigator is only twenty this year, actually nineteen in full years. Not married yet. Does he have a girlfriend?”
“Not that I’ve heard.”
Those wanting to establish connections with Luo Feng’s family, those wanting to find a wife for him—all sorts of things were happening! After all, an Investigator… one must first be a High War God to attain such a position, and even among High War Gods, he must have a certain reputation. Such a figure is a giant on the global stage!
If someone’s relative married the Investigator, they would gain great advantage.
…
In a reception room of the Pinnacle Hall.
There were five people in the room: the four titans of the Jiangnan Base City Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute and Luo Feng. Luo Feng sat on the chair, having just walked from home to the Hall. The neighbors and warriors’ families in the community had treated him with unusual warmth, even addressing him as ‘Investigator Luo’.
Luo Feng immediately understood—his identity had been exposed!
But it was bound to happen eventually, and Luo Feng was mentally prepared.
“Investigator Luo, let me introduce,” President Zhou Zhengyong smiled, “these three are the three executives of our Jiangnan City Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute. This is Zhuge Tao, this is Wang Kefan, and this is Yu Sen.”
“Greetings, Investigator,” Zhuge Tao, Wang Kefan, and Yu Sen all stood up.
“Please, no need for formalities. Sit down, everyone.”
“Everyone here is my senior and elder. Back then, Senior Zhuge Tao especially helped me, and I am deeply grateful,” Luo Feng said sincerely. He had met beings who transcended the War God level and even faced the world’s strongest warrior, ‘Hong’. Now, looking at Zhou Zhengyong, Zhuge Tao, and others, Luo Feng felt calm and composed.
After a few minutes of conversation, Luo Feng’s casualness eased the four titans’ nervousness.
It seemed…
Although this young man held a high position, he didn’t have that arrogant air. The four titans felt relieved in their hearts.
“President Zhou,” Luo Feng said, “I will naturally assume the responsibilities of an Investigator. As for the Jiangnan Base City, the daily affairs of the Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute will proceed as usual. I am young and inexperienced, and to be honest, I have no desire to meddle in them.”
Upon hearing this, President Zhou and the other three were even more pleased.
“However, I hope everyone doesn’t step out of line,” Luo Feng’s expression turned serious. “Since headquarters assigned me as the Investigator, I must report to them.”
Although he said that…
In fact, the email from the Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute headquarters regarding the duties of an Investigator, which had been sent to his mailbox, Luo Feng hadn’t even looked at it yet.
“Don’t worry, Investigator Luo. We will definitely not make things difficult for you,” President Zhou quickly assured. “If anyone does something inappropriate, you don’t have to say anything; I will deal with them myself.”
“Not that serious.”
Luo Feng smiled, “I’m actually quite easygoing, just sometimes my temper gets a bit hot. You know, us young people, please be more tolerant, seniors and elders.”
“I have a request for President Zhou,” Luo Feng said.
“Please, Investigator Luo, go ahead.”
Luo Feng took a deep breath and slowly said, “My parents were separated from many relatives during the Great Nirvana period. I want President Zhou to help find my parents’ cousins, both maternal and paternal, and also check if there are any elders still alive from my parents’ side.” Although both his parents were orphans.
But back then, the situation was so chaotic, and his parents were very young. Who knew if their grandfathers, grandmothers, maternal grandfathers, or maternal grandmothers were still alive.
“This…” President Zhou frowned, “this will be quite difficult.”
Luo Feng furrowed his eyebrows.
President Zhou continued, “Mainly because during that period, many cities were overrun by monsters, the networks collapsed, a lot of data was lost, and many people’s identities were unverifiable. Therefore, our Pinnacle Martial Arts Institute can’t investigate this. Only through the Chinese government can we conduct such a search. The government has detailed records of the population.”
“Will it be a problem to ask the government for help?” Luo Feng asked.
“For the Chinese government, Investigator Luo, your name carries much more weight than mine. Your words will be more effective,” Zhou Zhengyong smiled. “Yes, I will mention this to them. Once they know it’s for Investigator Luo, they will definitely put in their best effort.”
The Invincible War God! For one of the five major powers, ‘China’, the appeal is also significant.
“Okay,” Luo Feng nodded.
“When a new Investigator takes office, according to tradition, we should hold a grand welcome banquet. At that time, we will invite important figures from the political, business, and martial arts circles of the entire Jiangnan Base City. Some important figures from within China are also expected to attend,” Zhou Zhengyong said. “Investigator, when do you think would be a good time for the banquet?”
Luo Feng was taken aback.
The inauguration of an Investigator was a significant event and should be celebrated in a grand manner. Hiding away wouldn’t do. Luo Feng also knew this was the tradition.
“Alright, I just got home and need some quiet time. Hmm… let’s hold the banquet on the 1st of next month, September 1st, to receive all the guests,” Luo Feng said.
…
Returning home in glory, the first day back at Moonlight Community was too lively. In the evening, Luo Feng even had a reunion dinner with many friends like Chen Gu and Zhang Ke, making it a very lively event.
At 11 PM, everything was quiet.
Luo Feng sat on the sofa in the home theater, holding a cup of tea, watching an email on the large screen on the wall. The email from headquarters detailed the many responsibilities of being an ‘Investigator’.
“Hmm.”
“Seems quite relaxed,” Luo Feng nodded, beside him an indigo-blue helmet resting on the sofa.
Luo Feng picked up the indigo-blue helmet.
Using the ‘Mind Sensor’ at home was most important for—ensuring personal safety! Because once the indigo-blue helmet was worn, consciousness would enter the virtual space, making it troublesome if someone tried to assassinate him. However, within the base city area, no one dared to do such a thing in the warriors’ community.
But the instructions… still reminded users to be cautious about physical safety.
The ‘Mind Sensor’ helmet also had a security device that could detect if anyone entered the surrounding area.
“Others may fear safety issues, but I’m not afraid.”
Luo Feng smiled, his body immediately extending a black membrane, protected by the ‘Black God Suit,’ what was there to worry about?
“Setting the safety range to 5 meters by 5 meters,” Luo Feng still set it up. The doors and windows were already locked tight. If anyone intruded into the set safety range around him, Luo Feng’s consciousness would be automatically kicked out of the virtual space.
“Swish!”
Luo Feng put on the helmet, and the Black God Suit had already extended to cover the indigo-blue helmet. He sat cross-legged on the ground, resembling a black statue.
Entering the virtual space!
The War God Palace was in the virtual space, and the ‘Basic Guide for Mentalists’ could only be accessed there.
