Chapter 61: 0231

Watching Luo Feng leave, Xu Gang picked up his wine glass and took a sip, thinking to himself, “Luo Feng, I’ve been quite tactful and respectful in my words to you. I hope you understand the meaning! If you ever bother my sister again in the future, don’t blame me for taking action!”

Xu Gang smiled and finished his glass of wine in one gulp.

“Xiaoxin, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first,” Xu Gang said to Xu Xin at the bar counter, then left the hall.

…

On the third floor of the HR Alliance Mall, inside a private room of a teahouse.

“Luo Feng,” Chen Gu said with a smile, “that girl Xin talked to you for quite a while earlier. In my opinion, she seems to have some interest in you. It shouldn’t be hard for you to win her over! And later, her brother Xu Gang also spoke with you at length—could it be that he sees you as a potential brother-in-law?”

See him as a brother-in-law? Luo Feng smiled bitterly; Chen Ge hadn’t heard what Xu Gang had said to him.

“Don’t talk nonsense. The reason is mainly because she and I were old classmates before,” Luo Feng replied with a smile.

Gao Feng couldn’t help but laugh as well, “Since you’re old classmates, it’s even easier to pursue her. Don’t you see how many couples today were once classmates?”

“That’s right, Luo Feng, put in more effort!” Wei Tie also chimed in with a grin, “Xu Xin is really a fine girl. Many people in the warrior circles praise her; she’s the female manager of the bar at the first floor of the underground alliance on Saturdays and Sundays. Many lustful men want to have their way with her. But they all checked into her background and realized she’s no ordinary girl, so they didn’t dare to make a move.”

Luo Feng smiled.

Wanting to mess with the daughter of the Xu family? Those people probably wouldn’t even know how they died.

“Captain, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Luo Feng smiled, “let’s discuss serious matters.”

“Alright,” Gao Feng nodded, “you three, tell me what level your physical abilities have reached now?”

Wei Tie put down his teacup and spoke first, “Captain, my current punch force is around 9,650 kg, my speed is 102 meters per second, and my neural reaction test result is ‘Qualified Junior Warrior Class.'”

“Hmm, you’ve officially entered the Junior Warrior Class,” Gao Feng nodded approvingly.

“Captain,” Wei Qing also spoke, “my punch force is around 9,510 kg, my speed is 106 meters per second, and my neural reaction test result is also ‘Qualified Junior Warrior Class.'”

Gao Feng and Luo Feng both nodded slightly.

“Haha, it’s my turn now,” Chen Gu grinned, “my punch force is around 7,100 kg, my speed is 81 meters per second, and my neural reaction test result is ‘Excellent Junior Warrior Class.'”

“Brother Chen, your neural reaction speed is amazing,” Luo Feng couldn’t help but exclaim.

Gao Feng laughed, “He’s a firearms expert, so his neural reaction speed has always been fast. After taking the gene-enhancing serum, it’s even faster. Looks like it’s time for him to use a faster gun.” It was already extremely rare for a warrior specialized in firearms to reach the ‘Qualified Junior Warrior Class’ in neural reaction speed.

Let alone Chen Gu’s being rated ‘Excellent Junior Warrior Class.’

“Alright, overall, the effects of the gene serum have been decent for the three of you,” Gao Feng looked at Wei Tie and Wei Qing, “You two brothers still need to work harder! Although it’s been nearly a month, the effects of the serum haven’t fully worn off yet. If you keep training hard, you can still extract more potential.”

“We understand,” Wei Tie and Wei Qing nodded.

Gao Feng turned to Chen Gu, “Old Chen, it’s time to upgrade your machine gun.”

“Yeah, it’s definitely time,” Chen Gu nodded.

Chen Gu’s main weapon was a machine gun paired with a heavy sniper rifle. His current machine gun could fire up to 300 rounds per minute, averaging five bullets per second. With his previous reaction speed, out of those five bullets fired in one second, four could hit the heads of four different monsters, while the fifth could still strike the body of a fifth monster.

In other words…

For Chen Gu, machine gun bursts were practically controlled single shots! This required an incredibly fast neural reaction speed. His reflexes were hundreds or even thousands of times faster than those of people before the Great Nirvana era, so achieving this wasn’t surprising.

“I’m planning to get an RG112 heavy machine gun, 12.7mm caliber, with tremendous power,” Chen Gu’s eyes sparkled, “capable of firing up to 1,500 rounds per minute. This machine gun is practically the fastest in terms of firing rate among all firearms used by warriors. Going any faster would be pointless.” In this era,

machine guns capable of firing seven or eight thousand, even over ten thousand rounds per minute do exist!

But their practicality is very low.

Nowadays, with Chen Gu’s reaction speed, even if ten bullets are fired in one second from the barrel, he can precisely aim each bullet to hit monster heads—one by one. That’s efficiency!

“Old Chen, after you buy the gun, spend some time getting familiar with it and study its characteristics well,” Captain Gao Feng nodded with a smile. “As for you two brothers, Wei Tie and Wei Qing, you should also train hard at home. Although your physical abilities have improved, you must try your best to convert that into powerful combat effectiveness and make full use of every bit of strength.”

“Don’t worry, Captain,” Wei Tie and Wei Qing nodded.

Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile slightly at the sight.

This is how Chinese warriors think—every ounce of strength must be utilized to unleash tenfold combat effectiveness! Concepts such as ‘precise control of strength’ and ‘using minimal force to achieve maximum results’ are deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, somewhat different from the Western approach. And now… the world’s strongest warrior, ‘Hong,’ is Chinese.

The second strongest warrior, ‘Thunder,’ is a Eurasian with Chinese heritage. Therefore, Chinese martial philosophy is indeed quite popular among warriors in today’s world.

“Captain, Brother Chen, Brother Tie, Brother Qing,” Luo Feng looked at the four of them and smiled, “I’ve trained hard at home for a whole month, and my physical strength has improved a lot. But I feel that my sword techniques and footwork still improve the most when fighting against monsters! No matter how much I train at home, it’s all theoretical practice against imaginary opponents.

Nothing compares to the real experience of fighting monsters to sharpen my sword techniques.

“So, I’m planning to go alone into the wilderness zone to train my sword techniques and footwork,” Luo Feng said.

“What, alone?” Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the others all changed their expressions.

“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile.

Actually, he had been thinking about this for a while, but he hadn’t been firm enough before. However, Xu Gang’s words earlier had touched him. If he wanted to become a top-tier warrior in the world, he couldn’t afford any slack! Therefore, Luo Feng decided to do everything he could to enhance his strength.

“That’s too dangerous,” Captain Gao Feng immediately said.

“No, Captain. I’m only planning to train my sword techniques and footwork in County 0231 near the military base,” Luo Feng explained, “I won’t go into any other big cities.”

“County 0231 near the military base?”

Captain Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the Wei brothers all relaxed slightly. The monster forces around the military base were originally very weak. Even lord-class monsters wouldn’t dare to stay in the county near the military base. Therefore, in the counties surrounding the military base, there were almost only soldier-class monsters, and even the general-class monsters were few in number, mostly junior general-class, with few middle general-class monsters. Because of the scarcity of general-class monsters, each junior general-class monster could command hundreds, even thousands of soldier-class monsters.

With so few general-class monsters, all in large herds, how could a small warrior team go after them?

In fact—

Most skilled warrior teams wouldn’t even bother staying in such counties because there’s little profit to be had.

“Besides, that county is close to the military base,” Luo Feng smiled, “I plan to hunt during the day in the military zone to practice my sword techniques, and return to the military base for rest at night.” Because of the short distance and Luo Feng’s speed, he could easily travel back and forth between the county and the supply base every day.

“County 0231 is indeed free of dangerous general-class monsters. But there are a lot of ordinary soldier-class monsters,” Wei Tie couldn’t help but say, “once surrounded…”

“Brother Tie, do you think Luo Feng is afraid of being surrounded?” Chen Gu chuckled.

Wei Tie and Wei Qing were momentarily stunned, then smiled.

Monster herds are indeed terrifying, but psychokineticists are the least afraid of them. Not only can they fight head-on, but with their psychokinetic abilities, a single leap could take them to a nearby building. Although monsters also have amazing jumping abilities, how could they compare to psychokineticists who can ‘push off the air’ mid-air?

“A great idea,” Captain Gao Feng couldn’t help but admire, “Luo Feng, you’ve even inspired me to go train my hammer techniques. However… I don’t have the ability to survive in a monster herd.”

“Luo Feng, when are you planning to set off?” Chen Gu asked.

“The sooner, the better. I’ll go back today to prepare and leave tomorrow,” Luo Feng smiled, “Captain, let me know when you all plan to head into the wilderness zone.”

The path of a warrior can only reach the peak through relentless cultivation and effort!
