Chapter 56: Returning to the Base City, Xu Xin’s Background

However, this Silver Moon Direwolf was tracked down, slain, dissected, and entirely retrieved by Luo Feng himself,” Gao Feng said with a smile. “Thus, as the Hunter, Luo Feng is entitled to the maximum share of eighty percent, while the remaining twenty percent will be equally divided among the rest of us five.” Such was the law of the warrior squad.

Even if one person did all the work, they still needed to share some of the spoils with the team.

Normally, when killing a Monster Lieutenant-level beast, the person with the greatest contribution usually receives up to sixty percent. In Luo Feng’s case, since he did everything alone, he could receive the maximum share of eighty percent.

“Luo Feng, what you’ve earned this time probably exceeds what I’ve earned in ten years,” Chen Gu couldn’t help exclaiming beside him. “You definitely have to treat us tonight!”

“Yeah, you must treat us. Let’s have this rich guy splurge on us,” Wei Tie and Wei Qing also chimed in.

Even Zhang Zehu from the ‘Tiger Fang Squad’ had only earned one hundred million credits in the past two years, which was the period when his strength was at its peak. Before that, his earning speed was even slower. In other words, throughout all these years, Zhang Zehu had probably earned only around three to four hundred million credits.

Yet Luo Feng, in just this single instance, had struck it rich!

However, not everyone had the strength to kill a ‘Hunter.’ Luo Feng had the ability, so naturally he could earn money. In the warrior circle, the stronger one’s power, the more incredible their wealth usually became.

“I’ll definitely treat everyone. How could I not treat you? I’ll do it at the HR Alliance Mall,” Luo Feng chuckled.

“I’ll transfer the money first into each of your accounts.”

Gao Feng said with a smile, proceeding to transfer the money they had earned through the Firehammer Squad’s shared account to each individual’s personal account in front of everyone. Everyone in the team knew the account number and password of the shared account. Usually, once money was earned, it was immediately distributed.

That afternoon, Luo Feng and his group took the train back to the base city.

“The train is about to arrive at the station. Please prepare your belongings, passengers,” the recorded voice of the train attendant echoed through the carriage. With a hiss, the carriage doors opened.

“Let’s go!”

Gao Feng, Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, and the Wei brothers all stepped out one after another.

“There are so many people,” Luo Feng exclaimed as he stepped off the train. He immediately saw a large number of passengers coming out around the train station. Looking through the glass of the station building, he could see even more crowds of waiting passengers inside. Considering the population of the main urban area of the base city exceeded one hundred million, one could imagine how bustling and lively the train station must be!

This was called popularity—the boiling energy of people!

“Brothers, thank our weapons. We’ve made it back to the base city alive once again!” Gao Feng exclaimed emotionally.

“We’re back.”

“Back to the human city.”

Luo Feng himself also felt deeply moved. Although this trip to the wilderness zone had only lasted about seven or eight days, the wilderness was desolate and ruined everywhere. The cities in the wilderness had long since fallen into disrepair. With numerous monsters dwelling there, Luo Feng and his team had to move cautiously, fearing encirclement by monster packs.

Only in the base city could humans live safely! This was where civilization existed!

“The base city—the final stronghold of human civilization!” A sudden revelation surged through Luo Feng’s heart. “Even for this last bastion of mankind, warriors of greater power must rise to meet the trials ahead! Take me, for example—I can effortlessly hunt down ordinary Monster Soldier-level creatures, and even junior Monster Captain-level beasts barely pose a challenge. Yet for the average person, even a thousand armed with the finest weapons would find a Monster Captain-level beast a deadly threat.”

Why did the state grant privileges to warriors?

Why did the entire world encourage warriors to hunt monsters?

Because the more monsters that were killed, the safer the human base cities became.

“Hey, honey, I think I’ll be home late tonight,” Zhang Ke said on the phone, his face beaming with a smile. “Yes, I’ll be staying home for a long time this time. I’ll definitely satisfy you, my dear wife!” It was hard to imagine that a man with a missing arm could wear such a naturally sincere smile.

The families of warriors who risked their lives in the wilderness were the deepest source of their emotional attachment.

Luo Feng also dialed home.

“Xiaofeng, dear.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel a slight sting in his eyes as he called out, “Mom, I estimate I’ll be home late tonight. You don’t need to wait for me for dinner.”

“Tonight?” His mother was clearly delighted. “Okay, okay. Your father is out with your younger brother. I’ll call them to take the phone.”

“No need. I’ll be home tonight,” Luo Feng felt a warm feeling in his heart.

This was home—the place Luo Feng protected.

“Luo Feng, come on, let’s take the HR Alliance’s warrior-exclusive vehicle,” Gao Feng called out, and the others had already started moving.

“Coming.”

After hanging up the phone, Luo Feng immediately followed the group along the warrior-exclusive passage. At the end of the passage was a small plaza containing the Limit Gym, Thunder Gym, the underground alliance mall, and private vehicles from various families of the underground alliance, all waiting at this moment to pick up their warriors.

Seeing Luo Feng’s group emerge, all the drivers of the exclusive vehicles became alert.

“Alright, let’s go to the HR Alliance Mall,” Gao Feng and the others directly entered the HR Alliance’s exclusive vehicle.

“Got it.”

The car started, shifted gears, and with a press of the accelerator, the large and comfortable off-road vehicle immediately moved forward.

Inside the car.

“Luo Feng, we’ll be arriving at the HR Alliance Mall soon,” Chen Gu grinned, looking at Luo Feng. “Last time, you were interested in that girl named Xu Xin. Maybe she’ll be there this time. Luo Feng, after returning from the wilderness zone, you should definitely connect with her and deepen your relationship.”

“You pervert,” Gao Feng laughed and scolded, then turned to Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, let me say something. That little girl, Xu Xin, is quite something. She’s very young but already the manager of the first-floor bar there. She’s definitely no ordinary girl. She probably has some background. You should be careful.”

Luo Feng nodded.

He had sensed the same thing. Back in school, Xu Xin had been quite ordinary, but in that first-floor bar of the HR Alliance Mall, her demeanor was completely different. If previously she had been entirely reserved, now she had revealed a bit of her brilliance.

“You guys are talking about Miss Xu Xin?” The driver in front exclaimed in surprise.

“Do you know Xu Xin?” Luo Feng looked at him.

“Of course I know,” the driver chuckled. “We run to the mall all the time and chat with other guys, so I definitely know about this Miss Xu Xin. Don’t underestimate her looks—she’s not the most stunning beauty, but… well, whoever marries her will definitely save themselves a lifetime of hard work.”

Gao Feng’s expression slightly changed. “Could she be from the Xu family, one of the twelve major families in HR Alliance domestically?”

“That’s right, the Xu family. It’s said she holds a high position within the family,” the driver nodded.

Luo Feng was also greatly surprised upon hearing this.

The HR Alliance was a super alliance formed by major families and financial conglomerates from the United States, Europe, and other countries. It controlled the world’s economy, and even various governments and armies could only coexist peacefully with the HR Alliance. Among them—

The HR Alliance, besides the supreme Nine Great Families and conglomerates, also had dozens of secondary families and conglomerates.

Each of these dozens of family conglomerates possessed astonishing wealth and incredible power.

“Wow, that background is too big,” Chen Gu widened his eyes. “I knew this little girl’s surname was Xu, but I didn’t expect her to be from the Xu family. Brother Luo Feng, this time I can’t help you anymore. Pursuing Miss Xu Xin will be really difficult.”

“It’s definitely very difficult, but our Luo Feng isn’t any worse,” Gao Feng said instead.

Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Zhang Ke, and others all laughed.

In their eyes, Luo Feng was a mentalist, and his future strength would be even more terrifying.

“Old Fang.”

Gao Feng made a call. “Yes, it’s me. Of course, I have something good to tell you, otherwise why would I call you? It’s definitely something worth over one hundred million. Alright, no problem.” After finishing the call, Gao Feng smiled at the others. “I’ve already informed Old Fang. When we arrive at the mall, we’ll go straight upstairs.”

“Okay,” Luo Feng and others also nodded.

Shortly after—

The exclusive vehicle passed through the military’s security line directly to the entrance of the HR Alliance Mall. As the car doors opened, the Firehammer Squad disembarked one after another.

“Mr. Gao Feng, Manager Fang is already waiting upstairs,” a neat, short-haired, sharp and capable-looking woman smiled.

“Okay.”

Gao Feng, Luo Feng, and the others didn’t say much and directly entered the lobby.

Inside the luxurious first-floor lobby, many warriors were chatting near the bar. Luo Feng glanced toward the bar counter: “Not here?” He then realized that these days were the time when universities had just started their new semester. At the beginning of the semester, even regular universities would conduct military training.

Besides, today wasn’t Saturday or Sunday. It wasn’t strange that Xu Xin wasn’t here.

“Ding!”

The elevator doors opened, and the Firehammer Squad entered the elevator.

“Beep!” The woman stood at the elevator entrance, pressed ’21,’ and aligned her pupil with the scanner. “Beep, access granted. Welcome, Miss Liu.”

“Manager Fang is waiting for you all on the 21st floor,” the woman smiled.

Luo Feng and the others nodded.

The elevator ascended rapidly without stopping in between. Soon, with a “Ding,” the elevator doors opened, and the 21st floor had been reached.
