Chapter 168
Helmet Security Issues
As Luo Feng, his parents, and younger brother gathered, the Mingyue Residential District buzzed with excitement again. The President and three Directors from the main city were about to arrive. Chief Instructor Wu Tong led dozens of Warriors, waiting. “Why are President Zhou and all three Directors coming today?” “It’s rare for these four giants to visit our residential district together,” the Warriors discussed animatedly. “They’re here,” Wu Tong looked up at the sky. Everyone fell silent, gazing skyward. A streak of light tore through the air, then decelerated, transforming into a sleek, dark blue, saucer-shaped fighter jet that hovered above the Mingyue Residential District. It began its descent! “Let’s go, welcome the President,” Wu Tong led dozens of Warriors to greet them. As for other Warrior families, they were forbidden from approaching. How could a chaotic crowd surround the President and three Directors during such a reception? Whoosh— The hatch opened, and a ramp automatically extended. President Zhou, clad in black, led the way, followed by the three Directors, all descending the ramp in turn. “Greetings, President, and three Directors,” Wu Tong bowed. “Greetings, President, and three Directors,” the group of Warriors bowed. From a distance, many Warrior families were thrilled, whispering amongst themselves. These were the four titans of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in Jiangnan Base City; normally, it was hard to even meet one! “Hmm,” Zhou Zhengyong nodded. The group of Warriors held their breath. Just like when Wu Tong led Luo Feng to meet Director Zhuge Tao, they were extremely respectful. It was clear... the status of a Chief Instructor in a Guardian City was vastly different from that of a Director in the entire Base City. Not to mention compared to the President! In front of the President and the three Directors, all the Warriors were very reserved. “Is Inspector Luo at home?” Zhou Zhengyong asked with a smile. Silence! Wu Tong and the dozens of Warriors were stunned. Inspector Luo? Who was this Inspector Luo? “In-Inspector Luo?” Wu Tong’s eyes widened. “It’s Inspector Luo Feng,” Zhou Zhengyong smiled. He wouldn’t dare casually say ‘that kid Luo Feng.’ The man was his superior, and his strength was evaluated by the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’s highest decision-making body as ‘Invincible Wargod.’ How could Zhou Zhengyong, a mid-tier Wargod, afford to offend him? “Luo Feng? Inspector Luo?” Wu Tong and the others were somewhat bewildered. Zhuge Tao, standing nearby, chuckled, “Global Headquarters issued an appointment. Wargod Luo Feng has officially become the Inspector of our Jiangnan Base City’s Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall. We’ve come this time specifically to pay our respects to Inspector Luo.” “Luo Feng, oh, Inspector Luo, is at home with his family,” Wu Tong reacted the quickest, quickly replying, “President, three Directors, should I inform the Inspector?” “I’ll inform him myself,” Zhou Zhengyong smiled as he dialed a number. Wu Tong and the group of Warriors all stared at Zhou Zhengyong. The call connected. “Oh, Inspector Luo, this is Zhou Zhengyong,” Zhou Zhengyong said with a sincere smile. “I’m already in Mingyue Residential District, with the three Directors. No rush, no rush. We’ll wait for you at the Dojo, Inspector Luo.” After hanging up, Zhou Zhengyong looked at Wu Tong and smiled, “Wu Tong, let’s go, let’s take a look at your Yangzhou Extreme Martial Arts Dojo.” “Yes, President,” Wu Tong quickly followed. The entire Mingyue Residential District soon erupted. The news that Luo Feng was the new Inspector of the Jiangnan Base City Extreme Martial Arts Dojo spread like wildfire. Except for those not in the residential district, most everyone knew. Everyone was thrilled and shocked, and then, recalling the earlier flying fighter jet, they suddenly understood. “No wonder Luo Feng could afford a flying fighter jet; he became an Inspector!” “You should call him Inspector, not just ‘Luo Feng, Luo Feng’ so loudly.” “The Inspector is only 20 this year, right? By Western age, he’s only 19. He’s not married yet, does he have a girlfriend?” “Haven’t heard anything.” Some wanted to build connections with Luo Feng’s family, others wanted to find a wife for Luo Feng—in short, all sorts of things! After all, an Inspector... to become an Inspector, one must first be a High-tier Wargod! And even among High-tier Wargods, they must have a certain reputation. Such a figure is a big shot globally! If anyone had a relative marry an Inspector, they would gain a huge advantage in the future. ... Inside a reception room at the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. There were five people in the room: the four titans of the Jiangnan Base City Extreme Martial Arts Dojo and Luo Feng. Luo Feng was currently seated in a chair. Walking from his home to the Dojo, the attitudes of some neighbors and Warrior families in the residential district had surprised Luo Feng... they seemed incredibly enthusiastic, some even calling him ‘Inspector Luo.’ Luo Feng immediately understood—his identity had been exposed! However, it was bound to be exposed eventually, and Luo Feng was mentally prepared. “Inspector Luo, let me introduce you,” President Zhou Zhengyong said with a smile. “These three are the Directors of our Jiangnan City Extreme Martial Arts Dojo: this is Zhuge Tao, this is Wang Kefan, and this is Yu Sen.” “Greetings, Inspector,” Zhuge Tao, Wang Kefan, and Yu Sen all stood up and said. “No need to be so formal, relax, everyone sit,” Luo Feng said sincerely. “You are all my seniors and elders. Senior Zhuge Tao even helped me back then, and I’m eternally grateful.” Having met several beings who surpassed Wargods, and even having faced ‘Hong,’ the world’s strongest, Luo Feng was much calmer and more casual now when looking at Zhou Zhengyong, Zhuge Tao, and the others. After a few minutes of conversation, Luo Feng’s casual demeanor eased the apprehension of the four titans. It seems... This young man, despite his high position, doesn’t have an arrogant air about him. The four titans breathed a sigh of relief. “President Zhou,” Luo Feng said, “I will naturally take on the responsibilities of an Inspector. As for the day-to-day affairs of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo here in Jiangnan Base City, they can continue as usual. I’m young, don’t understand much, and frankly, I’m too lazy to bother with them.” Hearing this, President Zhou and the other three were even more delighted. “However, I hope you all don’t do anything out of line,” Luo Feng’s expression grew serious. “Since Headquarters appointed me as Inspector, I also have to report back to them.” He said this, but in reality, Luo Feng hadn’t even read the email from the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo Headquarters regarding the duties of an Inspector, which had been sent to his inbox. “Rest assured, Inspector Luo, we will certainly not make things difficult for you,” Zhou Zhengyong quickly promised. “If anyone does something excessive, you won’t even need to say anything, Inspector Luo; I will personally deal with them.” “It’s not that serious,” Luo Feng smiled. “I’m actually quite easy to talk to, though sometimes my temper can be a bit fiery. I’m young, after all, so please bear with me, seniors and elders.” “I have one matter I’d like President Zhou to help me with,” Luo Feng said. “Please tell us, Inspector Luo.” Luo Feng took a deep breath and slowly said, “During the Grand Nirvana Period, my parents were separated from many relatives. I’d like President Zhou’s help in finding my parents’ cousins, both maternal and paternal, from back then, and also to see if any of their elders are still alive.” Although his parents were orphans. But in that chaotic time, his parents were very young. Who knew if his grandparents or maternal grandparents were still alive? “This...” President Zhou frowned, “This will be quite difficult.” Luo Feng’s brow furrowed. President Zhou continued, “The main reason is that during that period, many cities were overrun by monsters, networks collapsed, and many records were lost, making many people’s identities untraceable. So, our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo can’t investigate this. We can only investigate through the Huaxia Nation government! The Huaxia Nation government still has quite detailed records of its citizens.” “Asking the government for help, is that okay?” Luo Feng asked. “For the Huaxia Nation government, your influence, Inspector Luo, is far greater than mine. Your words carry more weight,” Zhou Zhengyong smiled. “Hmm, but I’ll speak to them later. Once they know this matter is to help Inspector Luo, they will certainly be very diligent.” An Invincible Wargod! For the ‘Huaxia Nation,’ one of the five great powers, that’s a huge draw. “Hmm,” Luo Feng nodded. “Since the Inspector has just taken office, according to custom, we should hold a large welcome banquet for you. It will invite many important figures from the political, business, and Warrior circles of the entire Jiangnan Base City, and even some important figures from within the Huaxia Nation are expected to attend,” Zhou Zhengyong said. “When do you think would be a good time to hold it, Inspector?” Luo Feng was taken aback. An Inspector taking office was a momentous occasion; of course, it had to be grand. What kind of image would it be to hide away? Luo Feng also knew this was the rule. “How about this: I’ve just returned home, so I’d like some quiet time first. Hmm... let’s hold the banquet on the 1st of next month, September 1st, to receive guests from all sides,” Luo Feng said. ... Returning home in glory, the first day back in Mingyue Residential District was incredibly lively. That evening, Luo Feng even had dinner with Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and many other friends, making for a boisterous gathering. At 11 PM, deep silence. Luo Feng sat on the sofa in the audio-visual room, holding a cup of tea, looking at an email on the large screen on the wall. This email from Headquarters detailed the many responsibilities of becoming an ‘Inspector.’ “Hmm.” “It seems quite relaxed,” Luo Feng nodded. Beside him, a dark blue helmet rested on the sofa. Luo Feng picked up the dark blue helmet. When using this ‘Consciousness Inducer’ at home, the most important thing is—to protect oneself! Because once the dark blue helmet is worn, consciousness enters a virtual space. If someone were to assassinate you then, it would be troublesome. However, within a Base City, in a Warrior residential district, no one would dare to do such a thing. But the instructions still warned to be careful about personal safety. This ‘Consciousness Inducer’ helmet also has a security device that can detect if anyone enters the surrounding area. “Others might fear security issues, but I don’t,” Luo Feng smiled. Black membranes immediately extended from his body. With the ‘Black God Suit’ protecting him, what was there to worry about? “Security range set to 5 meters X 5 meters,” Luo Feng still set it. The doors and windows were already locked. If anyone intruded within the set security range, Luo Feng’s consciousness would automatically be kicked out of the virtual space. Swish! Luo Feng directly put on the helmet, and the Black God Suit extended to cover the dark blue helmet. He sat cross-legged on the ground, like a black sculpture. Entering the virtual space! The War God Palace was in the virtual space, and the ‘Foundations of Mental Cultivation’ also had to be viewed in the virtual space.
