Chapter 97: Kyoto Base City

“HR Alliance, Limit Dojo, Thunder Dojo—selling monster materials to any of these three parties requires public disclosure of identity! I could have them transfer money into an anonymous account, but—internal leaks might expose my earnings.” Luo Feng frowned. “Looks like I have no choice but to go through the black market!”

Where there is light, there is also darkness!

The trade of monster materials has always been fiercely competitive. As an alliance of numerous global corporations and families, the HR Alliance, although stable, still harbors internal rivalries. Some powerful corporate families even attempt to gain more influence and benefits within the alliance.

This competition led to the emergence of various services.

Want to sell monster materials while hiding your identity as a warrior? No problem! If other managers won’t do it, I will!

Want to deposit money into an anonymous foreign account? No worries, I can handle everything for you!

As long as you have treasures, there will always be managers specialized in acquiring monster materials, all eager to serve!

“Tsk, so much information,” Luo Feng muttered, entering the ‘Commander-Level’ warrior forum. As soon as he typed in the five words “sell monster materials,” a flood of posts appeared.

It was easy to find advertisement threads from various managers. These posts included contact information and various promises of security measures.

Judging from the numerous replies behind each post, one could also assess their safety and reputation.

“I want to sell dragon eggs, combat suits, and swords. Hmm, better not sell them in Jiangnan Base City. I should go elsewhere.” Luo Feng browsed through the posts one by one. “Ah, this one looks good! Judging from the replies, even many well-known Commander-Level warriors have commented here. Hey, even a War God replied to this thread!”

The internal forum of Limit Dojo was divided into three levels: Warrior-Level, Commander-Level, and War God-Level.

Only Warrior-Level users could access and post on the Warrior-Level forum.

Commander-Level users could access and post on both Warrior-Level and Commander-Level forums.

War God-Level users had access to all three forums: Warrior-Level, Commander-Level, and War God-Level. Each account corresponded strictly to the user’s identity, with no room for deception.

“It seems many people have sold through him. His reputation is pretty high. Is he based in Kyoto Base City?” Luo Feng nodded with a smile. “King? Sounds like a bold name. Alright, I’ll go with him.”

…

The next morning, Luo Feng went around Yangzhou City, purchasing a mobile phone card and a phone. Normally, phone cards required real-name registration, but some vendors still sold them without ID verification. In this world, as long as there was enough money, there would always be people willing to take risks.

While buying the phone and SIM card, Luo Feng also purchased glasses, fake beards, and other simple disguise items.

“Hello.” Standing in the martial arts hall of his home, Luo Feng used the newly purchased phone to call King.

“Hello, this is King. May I ask what the gentleman needs?” King’s voice was gentle. This number was specifically set up for warriors contacting him through the Limit Dojo warrior forum. Usually, those who called were powerful warriors. After all, ordinary warriors rarely had treasures to sell.

Luo Feng smiled. “I’m planning to sell some items. I wonder if you can handle it.”

“Oh? How valuable are they?” King’s voice carried a hint of surprise.

“Over a hundred billion!” Luo Feng replied.

On the other end of the line,

King had been chatting with a tall, fair-skinned beauty, but hearing this, he immediately stood up, ignoring the conversation, and walked to the window, whispering urgently, “Of course I can handle it! As long as you have the goods, I can take it! I’m sure you’ve heard of my reputation. It was built through countless transactions. You can absolutely trust my pricing.”

Over a hundred billion!

This was definitely a major deal, usually only War Gods would propose such large-scale transactions.

“By the way, I hope you can transfer the payment to an anonymous account at the Swiss International Bank in the EU. Is that okay?” Luo Feng continued.

“Absolutely no problem. Many warriors who cooperate with me prefer to deposit their money there.” King chuckled.

The Swiss International Bank had already gained great fame even before the Great Rebirth Era.

Building a reputation for a bank or enterprise was difficult, but destroying it was easy. The Swiss International Bank had maintained its reputation over many years, earning them countless business opportunities.

“By the way, may I know when you will come?” King asked eagerly.

“In the next couple of days, I’ll arrive at the main district of Kyoto Base City, and contact you then.” Luo Feng replied.

“Alright, alright. I still don’t know your honorable surname.”

“My surname is Wei.” Luo Feng answered.

“Oh, Mr. Wei, I’ll be eagerly awaiting your arrival.” King’s voice brimmed with enthusiasm.

Luo Feng smiled and hung up the phone. He had never tried such underhanded methods before, but now it seemed… surprisingly simple. With just one call, the contact was already set.

“First, I need to apply for an account at the Swiss International Bank.” Using the newly purchased phone, Luo Feng quickly accessed the Swiss International Bank’s website and easily applied for an ‘anonymous account.’ The password was relatively simple but secure—a combination of three sets of 12-character Chinese characters, English letters, and numbers.

“Done. Now I just need to wait and sell.”

…

That night, under the light of the first-floor living room, Luo Feng’s family sat together for dinner.

“Mom, Dad, I’m planning to go out for something tomorrow.” Luo Feng smiled. “I think I’ll be back the day after.”

“Oh, where are you going?” Luo Hongguo looked at his son in surprise.

Luo Feng smiled. “Meeting a warrior friend.”

“Hongguo, don’t ask too much. Maybe Xiao Feng is going to meet his girlfriend.” Mother Gong Xinlan teased, making Luo Feng smile helplessly. She continued, “But son, I’m serious. You’re not young anymore. You’ll be nineteen by the New Year, twenty in traditional age. It’s time to start dating. Dating takes one or two years, and getting married won’t be too early.”

Beside them, Luo Hua in his wheelchair also joined in with a grin. “Right, Brother! Look at me—I’m ahead of you. You need to step it up!”

“You brat.” Luo Feng shook his head and smiled. “Luo Hua, how are you and your girlfriend Xiao Nan doing these days?”

“What do you mean how? Just the same as before.” Luo Hua’s eyes sparkled with pride.

…

The next morning, after having breakfast with his family, Luo Feng left home with a huge backpack. He didn’t take the Limit Dojo’s private car but instead took a taxi to the train station.

Beside the train station was a ‘Zhen Gongfu’ fast-food restaurant.

Fast-food chains like Zhen Gongfu, KFC, and McDonald’s always had the highest foot traffic. Luo Feng entered this ‘Zhen Gongfu’ restaurant, grabbed a quick bite, and then went into a restroom stall. After locking the door, he quickly applied a simple disguise.

Putting on glasses, attaching a beard, slightly darkening his skin tone, wearing a hat, and even padding his shoes.

In an instant, Luo Feng looked completely transformed.

In such a busy fast-food restaurant, with hundreds of people constantly coming and going, who would notice Luo Feng? After his simple disguise, Luo Feng left the restaurant and boarded the fastest train departing from Yangzhou City.

…

Nowadays, train protection consumed a significant amount of resources, so ordinary people rarely traveled outside their base cities. Warriors, however, were exempt—they only needed to show their warrior card to board trains without purchasing tickets, and they could disembark whenever they wished.

This was a privilege granted to warriors.

Around six o’clock in the evening,

“Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at the station. Please take your belongings and disembark from the front door if you’re getting off at the main district of Kyoto City.” Following the train’s announcement, Luo Feng exited the train with his backpack.

“Kyoto Base City!”

Luo Feng looked around. “The largest city in the entire China, with the most residents and the political core? But it doesn’t seem much different from Jiangnan Base City, just colder and more frigid.” Smiling, Luo Feng exited the train station and hailed a taxi, heading directly to a famous entertainment complex in Kyoto Base City called ‘King’s Palace,’ a high-end establishment.

Outside the entrance of the entertainment complex, countless beauties in various outfits gathered, as if entering a kingdom of women.

“Sir…” a man in a suit greeted with a smile.

“I need a private room, something quiet. I don’t want to be disturbed.” Luo Feng slightly showed his warrior card, and the reception manager immediately became much more respectful. “Understood, please follow me.”

Room No. 3, Earth-Class, in King’s Palace.

“Sir, beverages and refreshments are already prepared.” The manager said respectfully. “Is there anything else you need?”

“No, no one is allowed to enter unless I permit it.” Luo Feng instructed.

“Understood. There’s a service menu and a phone over there, sir. Please feel free to make any requests.” The manager smiled and exited, closing the door behind him. Luo Feng gently locked the door and swept the entire room with his mental energy, detecting no surveillance equipment. The room was exquisitely decorated, with the floor covered in beautiful monster pelts.

Luo Feng glanced at the screen on the wall, displaying the service menu.

“Truly luxurious.” Luo Feng shook his head with a smile and dialed King’s number.

“Mr. Wei, hello.” King greeted warmly.

“King, I’m currently in Earth-Class Room No. 3 of the Chinese Hall at ‘Kingdom’ in Kyoto Base City.” Luo Feng replied.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll arrive within an hour.” King’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

After hanging up, Luo Feng lay on the sofa.

He casually took some tea from the nearby cabinet and brewed himself a cup.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng suddenly felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.

“Who’s calling my old phone?” The phone in his pocket was the one he had previously used, not the newly purchased one.

Picking up the call, Luo Feng heard his mother Gong Xinlan’s voice, slightly choked with tears. “Xiao Feng, your brother… your brother had an accident.”

Luo Feng immediately stood up, shocked.

Bang!

He knocked over the teacup, spilling tea onto the counter.
