Return to the Base City, Xu Xin's Background

“However, Luo Feng was responsible for tracking, killing, dissecting, and bringing back this silver moon fierce wolf. He did all the work himself,” Gao Feng said with a smile. “So, Luo Feng, the hunter, can take the highest share of 'eighty percent.' The remaining twenty percent will be split equally among the five of us.” This was a rule among Warrior Squads. Even if one person did everything, everyone else still got a share of the benefits. Normally, when hunting Beast General-level monsters, the person with the greatest contribution would get at most sixty percent. For someone like Luo Feng, who did everything himself, he could get the highest, eighty percent. “Luo Feng, you probably earned more in this one go than I have in ten years,” Chen Gu couldn’t help but exclaim. “You absolutely have to treat us tonight!” “Yes, you definitely have to treat us. Make this rich guy pay,” Wei Tie and Wei Qing chimed in. It’s worth noting that even Zhang Zehu of the Tiger Fang Squad only earned a hundred million in the past two years. And those two years were when Zhang Zehu was at his strongest; his earning speed was slower before that. This meant that over all these years, Zhang Zehu had probably only earned around three to four hundred million. But Luo Feng, in just one go, struck it rich! However, not everyone had the strength to hunt such a 'hunter.' Luo Feng possessed that strength, so naturally, he could earn money. The stronger a warrior was, the more astonishing their wealth tended to be. “I’ll definitely treat you, how could I not? I’ll treat you at the HR Alliance Mall,” Luo Feng said with a chuckle. “I’ll distribute the money first, transferring it to each of your accounts.” Gao Feng said with a smile, in front of everyone, he transferred the money they had earned through the Fire Hammer Squad’s public account, one by one, to each person’s account. Everyone in the squad knew the public account’s login and password. Typically, after earning money, it would be distributed immediately. That afternoon, Luo Feng and his group took a train back to the Base City. “The train will soon arrive at the station. Passengers disembarking, please prepare your belongings.” The recorded voice of the train attendant echoed through the carriage. With a whoosh, the carriage door opened. “Let’s go!” Gao Feng, Luo Feng, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, and the Wei brothers stepped out one after another. “So many people.” As Luo Feng exited the train, he immediately saw a large number of passengers emerging around the train station. Through the glass of the train station building, he could see countless people waiting inside. One must remember that the main urban area of the Base City had a population exceeding one hundred million, so one could imagine how bustling and lively the train station was! This was what they called popularity, a surging popularity! “Brothers, thank our weapons. We’ve returned to the Base City alive once again!” Gao Feng exclaimed with emotion. “We’re back.” “Back in a human city.” Luo Feng himself felt the same shock. Although they had only spent seven or eight days in the Wilds this time, the Wilds were desolate and ruined everywhere. The cities in the Wilds were long gone. Large numbers of monsters roamed, and Luo Feng and his team had to advance cautiously, fearing being surrounded by beast hordes. Only the Base City! This was where humans could live safely! This was where civilization existed! “The Base City, the last stronghold of human society.” A realization dawned on Luo Feng. “Even for the sake of this human society’s foundation, warriors with greater strength should indeed step forward! I can easily hunt ordinary Beast Soldier-level monsters, and even Beginner Tier Beast General-level ones. But for ordinary humans, even with a thousand people equipped with good weapons, facing a Beast General-level monster would be extremely dangerous.” Why did the nation grant warriors special privileges? Why did the entire world encourage warriors to hunt monsters? Because the more monsters hunted, the safer human Base Cities became. “Hello, wife, I should be home late tonight,” Zhang Ke said into his phone, a smile on his face. “Yes, I’ll be home for a very long time this time, I’ll definitely make you, my dear wife, happy!” It was hard to imagine a man with a severed arm smiling so naturally and sincerely at that moment. Warriors fought for their lives outside, and their families were their deepest concern. Luo Feng also dialed his home number. “Xiao Feng.” Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Feng’s eyes welled up slightly. He called out, “Mom, I’ll probably be home late tonight, you don’t need to wait for me for dinner.” “Late tonight?” His mother was clearly very surprised. “Good, good, your dad is out with your brother, I’ll call them to the phone.” “No need, I’ll be back tonight.” Luo Feng felt a warmth in his heart. This was home, the place he, Luo Feng, protected. “Luo Feng, come on, let’s take the HR Alliance’s special warrior vehicle,” Gao Feng called out. The others had already started moving. “Coming.” After hanging up the phone, Luo Feng immediately followed the group along the special warrior passage. At the end of the passage was a small area, where special vehicles from the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, Thunder Dojo, the Underground Alliance Mall, and various families of the Underground Alliance were waiting to pick up their warriors. Seeing Luo Feng’s group emerge, all the special vehicle drivers perked up. “Let’s go, to the HR Alliance Mall,” Gao Feng and the others directly entered the HR Alliance Mall’s special vehicle. “Alrighty.” The driver started the car, shifted gears, and with a stomp on the accelerator, the large, comfortable SUV immediately moved forward. Inside the car. “Luo Feng, we’re almost at the HR Alliance Mall,” Chen Gu said with a chuckle, looking at Luo Feng. “That girl, Xu Xin, you were sweet on last time, might be there this time. Luo Feng, now that you’re back from the Wilds, you should really connect with her and have a deep conversation.” “You pervert,” Gao Feng cursed with a laugh, then looked at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, let me tell you something. That little girl, Xu Xin, became a bar manager on the first floor at such a young age. She’s definitely not ordinary. She probably has some background. You should be careful.” Luo Feng nodded. He had felt the same way. Xu Xin used to be quite ordinary in school, but in the bar on the first floor of the HR Alliance Mall, her demeanor was different from before. If she had completely hidden her true self before, now she revealed a hint of brilliance. “Are you talking about Miss Xu Xin?” The driver in front asked in surprise. “You know Xu Xin?” Luo Feng asked him. “Of course, I know her,” the driver laughed. “We drive to the mall every day, and we often chat with other guys, so of course, we know about this Miss Xu Xin. Don’t let her not being drop-dead gorgeous fool you, but… tsk tsk, if someone could marry her, they’d save themselves a lifetime of struggle.” Gao Feng’s expression changed slightly. “Could it be that she’s from the Xu family, one of the twelve major families of the HR Alliance in Huaxia Nation?” “Yes, she’s from the Xu family, and it’s said she holds a very high position within the family,” the driver nodded. Luo Feng was also greatly surprised upon hearing this. The HR Alliance was an alliance formed by super families and conglomerates from America, Europe, and many other countries. It could be said that it was an alliance of global giants. They controlled the world’s economy, and even various governments and armies could only coexist peacefully with the HR Alliance. And among them— Besides the nine supreme families and conglomerates, the HR Alliance also had dozens of secondary families and conglomerates. Each of these dozens of families and conglomerates possessed astonishing wealth and power. “Damn, that’s too big of a background,” Chen Gu’s eyes widened. “I knew this little girl’s surname was Xu, but I never expected her to be from the Xu family. Brother Luo Feng, I can’t help you with this one. Pursuing this Miss Xu Xin is going to be very difficult.” “It is very difficult, but our Luo Feng is not bad at all,” Gao Feng said instead. Chen Gu, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, Zhang Ke, and the others all laughed. In their eyes, Luo Feng was a Mental Psychic, and his future strength would be even more terrifying. “Lao Fang.” Gao Feng made a call. “Yes, it’s me. Of course, I have something good to find you for, otherwise, why would I call you? It’s definitely something worth over a hundred million. Alright, no problem.” After the call, Gao Feng smiled and looked at the others. “I’ve already told Lao Fang. We’ll go straight upstairs when we get to the mall.” “Mm.” Luo Feng and the others also nodded. A moment later— The special vehicle passed through the military’s cordon and drove directly to the entrance of the HR Alliance Mall’s main hall. As the car door opened, the Fire Hammer Squad members stepped out one after another. “Mr. Gao Feng, Manager Fang is waiting upstairs,” a neat and capable-looking woman with short, ear-length hair said with a smile. “Mm.” Gao Feng and Luo Feng’s group didn’t say much and walked directly into the main hall. In the luxurious first-floor hall, many warriors were chatting in the direction of the bar. Luo Feng’s gaze swept towards the bar counter. “Not here?” He then realized that these days were the beginning of the university semester. Even ordinary universities had military training during the start of the semester. Moreover, it wasn’t a Saturday or Sunday, so it wasn’t strange for Xu Xin not to be there. “Ding!” The elevator doors opened, and the Fire Hammer Squad entered. “Beep!” The woman stood at the elevator entrance, pressed ‘21,’ and placed her pupil against the detector. “Beep, access granted, welcome Miss Liu.” “Manager Fang is waiting for everyone on the 21st floor,” the woman said with a smile. Luo Feng and the others nodded. The elevator ascended quickly without stopping. In just a moment, with a “ding,” the elevator doors opened, and they had arrived on the 21st floor.
