Chapter 167
Meeting Luo Feng
“How is this possible?” The three supervisors beside him couldn't believe it either. “Look at his file,” the lean man urged, as the four titans of the Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall stared intently. “His ID number is 426123203806083211,” one of the burly, tall supervisors quickly stated. “His date of birth is June 8th, 2038, which means he’s only 19 years old this year! A 19-year-old Inspector?” “19 years old?” President Zhou Zhengyong and the three supervisors, including Zhuge Tao, exchanged glances, and a sudden silence fell. While seeing ‘Luo Feng’ and ‘Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City’ might have led them to suspect it was an elder with the same name, the ID number left no doubt! After all, every individual has a unique ID, and the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’s Global Headquarters would have followed strict procedures for such an appointment; there was no way they could have made a mistake. “It really is Luo Feng.” “It’s truly him.” The President and the three supervisors had mixed feelings, but Zhuge Tao harbored a hint of secret delight. When he first discovered Luo Feng’s talent, Zhuge Tao had offered him some help, a casual casting of the net. He never imagined that in just one year, Luo Feng would leap to become his direct superior! “He’s only 19, how is he already a Wargod, and an Invincible Wargod at that?” the lean man questioned, deeply puzzled. “Yu Sen,” Zhuge Tao chuckled. “Don’t overthink it. The notice is absolutely correct.” “This is trouble,” the burly man frowned. “The new Inspector is only 19. Young age means he’s probably not seasoned and steady. Young people are hot-headed! What if one of us accidentally offends him, and in a fit of rage, he dismisses one of us?” Indeed, young people’s tempers are far more volatile than those of the old guard. “Don’t worry too much,” Zhou Zhengyong smiled. “A young person’s temper might be a disadvantage for us. However… they are far more naive in their dealings. If we humor him a bit, he’ll be quite pleased. As for those old foxes, they’re all cunning, and it’s hard to keep them happy.” The other three supervisors nodded. “So, everyone, pay close attention. This Luo Feng is a local from Jiangnan,” Zhou Zhengyong’s expression turned serious as he solemnly stated. “According to regulations, local candidates are prioritized for such appointments! And this Luo Feng is now an Invincible Wargod and a local. Once he becomes Inspector, he will hold this position indefinitely.” The three supervisors understood. Even if the Headquarters appointed a new Inspector… they would absolutely not assign them to Jiangnan Base City. Because ‘Luo Feng’ of Jiangnan Base City is a local and an Invincible Wargod. Who would dare challenge his position? “If Luo Feng doesn’t break through, he’ll likely hold this position for decades.” “And once he breaks through, becoming a being beyond a Wargod, a Patrol Inspector! His status will be even higher. With a single word, he could dismiss even me, the President. We must humor him even more.” Zhou Zhengyong stated solemnly. Whether Luo Feng breaks through or not, he will always be above them. And since Luo Feng is a local, he’ll likely reside frequently in Jiangnan Base City. Operating under Luo Feng’s watchful eye, the four of them naturally had to keep him happy. “Don’t worry, President.” “We understand.” “No one here is a fool,” the three supervisors chimed in. “Very good.” Zhou Zhengyong nodded. “I’ll make a call to Mingyue Residential District in Yangzhou City and inquire.” “Hello.” Zhou Zhengyong took out his phone and dialed. “Wu Tong, Luo Feng from your residential district…” “What?” Zhou Zhengyong’s expression shifted as he listened to Wu Tong’s account over the phone. Zhuge Tao, Yu Sen, and the other two listened intently, barely catching words like ‘flying fighter jet’ and ‘Luo Feng’. A moment later, he hung up. “What’s wrong, President?” The three looked at Zhou Zhengyong. President Zhou Zhengyong broke into a smile: “Luo Feng just arrived at Mingyue Residential District in a triangular flying fighter jet. And Luo Feng also said… he bought that flying fighter jet himself!” “He bought it? He just got appointed, how could he afford it?” the burly man couldn’t help but blurt out. “Don’t concern yourself with how he bought it.” Zhou Zhengyong’s face darkened as he snapped, “Old Wang, remember this: from now on, Luo Feng is the Inspector, the highest authority for our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo here in Jiangnan Base City! So watch your words. Don’t keep referring to him as ‘he, he, he’ – you’ll displease him, and one word could cost you your position.” The burly man flinched, then chuckled awkwardly, “President, I just haven’t adjusted yet.” “We haven’t figured out Luo Feng’s temperament yet, so everyone be careful,” Zhou Zhengyong warned in a low voice. “Prepare yourselves. In 20 minutes, we’ll depart by fighter jet to Yangzhou City to meet the Inspector.” “Understood.” The three supervisors replied in unison. ... Yangzhou City, Mingyue Residential District, Luo Feng’s home. Luo Feng’s family was happily gathered around the dining table, eating breakfast, but the lively atmosphere changed with a single question from his younger brother, Luo Hua. “Brother, you said you’re not leaving this time? Why?” Luo Hua asked. “The Global Headquarters appointed me as the Inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall in Jiangnan Base City.” Luo Feng’s single sentence silenced his father, mother, and younger brother. His father, Luo Hongguo, couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Feng, this ‘Inspector’ sounds like a big official, but how big?” His mother, Gong Xinlan, was equally curious. In their residential district, people usually talked most about the President and the three supervisors. As for the Inspector, who was rarely seen like a dragon appearing and disappearing, they seldom discussed him. “Dad, Mom.” Luo Hua, still in his wheelchair, finally recovered from his shock and excitedly explained, “That’s a very big official, even bigger than the President! He’s the number one authority for the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in the entire Jiangnan Base City.” “Bigger than the President?” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were a little bewildered. They were just common folk. Although they had a son who was a Warrior, the President of the ‘Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall’ in Jiangnan Base City was definitely a figure of immense stature. One had to be a Wargod first to become President! And also possess sufficient connections to secure that position. Their son? Bigger than the President? “Xiao Feng?” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan looked at Luo Feng. “Yes,” Luo Feng nodded. “The flying fighter jet I brought back this time,” Luo Feng said, “costs over 100 billion, and it’s something you can’t buy even with money.” To make his parents clearly understand his current status, Luo Feng directly stated the fighter jet’s price. This King-tier intelligent fighter jet truly couldn’t be bought with money! For instance, neither the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’s internal marketplace nor the HR Alliance Mall sold this intelligent fighter jet! Even for high-ranking internal members of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, like Inspectors or Patrol Inspectors, the discounted price reached 180 billion. If other nations or powers wanted to buy it, even for 200 billion, the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo wouldn’t sell it! One must understand that ‘intelligent fighter jets’… currently, only the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in the entire world could manufacture them. “Over 100 billion?” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan were stunned once more. Heavens! How much wealth did even the richest man in Huaxia Nation possess? Remember, Wenina’s exorbitant bounty of ‘100 billion’ had already made countless global powerhouses envious. One could imagine that 100 billion was a breathtaking fortune even among the world’s wealthiest elite! For Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, who used to live in rented housing… An astronomical sum! In truth, even an ‘Invincible Wargod’ generally couldn’t afford it! Luo Feng was lucky; he made a fortune from the Spirit of Plants and Trees on Mist Island! Otherwise, he wouldn’t know when he could afford, or even dare to buy, such an intelligent fighter jet. Whew. It took Gong Xinlan and Luo Hongguo a long time to blink twice and recover. “Xiao Feng, just how much power and money do you actually have?” Luo Hongguo asked a rather foolish question. Power and money? “How to put it…” Luo Feng didn’t know how to explain. An Invincible Wargod was the strongest existence apart from those who transcended Wargods! The power he wielded was indeed astonishing. As for money… for Luo Feng, who possessed the Sky-Shuttle, hunting Lord-level monsters was truly simple. Lord-level monsters were his ATM. The only problem was… he couldn’t hunt too many Lord-level monsters in the same area, or he’d provoke the King-level monsters of that region. “Stop asking about that,” Gong Xinlan, beside him, chided with a smile. “Old man, do you have the ability to spend 100 billion in your lifetime?” “Xiao Feng,” Gong Xinlan couldn’t help but say, “There’s something I’d like your help with, you see…” “Mom, just say it directly,” Luo Feng quickly replied. Gong Xinlan sighed: “Your father and I both lived through the Grand Nirvana Period. Back then, we were both very young! During the Grand Nirvana Period, human society was in turmoil, with countless deaths and injuries. Your father and I both became orphans then.” Luo Hongguo beside her also recalled those years. The Grand Nirvana Period! Humanity’s most tragic era! All human cities were attacked, and some nations were even completely annihilated! “I had older female cousins, younger male cousins, older male cousins, older female cousins…” Gong Xinlan said. Both Gong Xinlan and Luo Hongguo were children of the one-child policy, only children! But their parents had many siblings, which meant they had many cousins. “During the exodus, everyone was fending for themselves; who had time to look for relatives?” Gong Xinlan shook her head and sighed. “Moreover, the Grand Nirvana Period was incredibly chaotic. Lost household registrations and unclear identities were rampant. There were far too many orphans, single-parent families, and children separated from their parents. Your father and I both registered our names ourselves.” “That era was just too chaotic.” “Base cities were built, nations were rebuilt, and everything only stabilized a decade later. Your father and I lived in rented housing; where would we find the time or money to search for our scattered relatives from back then?” After becoming orphans, they cherished their cousins and other relatives even more. Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan had always wanted to find their relatives from back then. With so many relatives, some must still be alive… but they lacked the power to search for them! Even as a Warrior’s family, they didn’t have that capability. “Dad, Mom.” Luo Feng nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, I will investigate all of our family’s relatives from back then.” This would be the first thing he did after becoming an Inspector, a task for his parents.
