Chapter 148 - Chaos and Confusion (1/2)

“In regards to this matter, Lin Zheng’s definitely gonna find a way to get back at you. However, Chen Ming’s mutation must have something to do with Lin Zheng. Whatever filth that’s in there, you really have no choice but to continue the investigation. I’m just saying that there’s a chance that the situation’s gonna get out of control. If that happens, we’re gonna be in deep trouble!” Deng Nian said.

Qin Feng responded with a serious nod.

“We’ve gotta investigate this issue!”

This case did not just involve a dark organisation out to harm innocent people. No, it went deeper than that.

Before his rebirth, the fate of being born as a genius was completely upended and turned into a life full of misery, hards.h.i.+p and anguish—who could understand his struggle?

The higher Qin Feng strived, the more his hatred toward the Z Organisation grew.

Now that he finally had strength that he could call his own, he would continuously build up his powers, up to the point where no one would be able to defeat him. And then, he would wipe out the Z Organisation from the face of this earth, once and for all.

He could not afford to allow such a group to continue existing.

This belief alone was the driving force for Qin Feng to continue growing.

“If you’re thinking about it this way, then by all means, go ahead. I’ll lend you my strength to block off Lin Zheng!” said Deng Nian.

Qin Feng nodded, appreciating Deng Nian’s intentions.

“I’ll remain at Chengyang for a few days. You guys go back first!”

“Aye, aye!”

Of course, Qin Feng still climbed into the car and left with them as a group.

“Qin Feng, we’ve got a lot this time around, don’t ya think? How should we divvy up the loot?” asked Zhou Hao.

Qin Feng was truly holding the reins of this entire situation. After all, the group’s main efforts were centered around his strength. Still, Zhao Yu and Zhang Tianche were too embarra.s.sed to ask so Zhou Hao was the one to step up and bite the bullet!

“We’ll divide it equally!” Qin Feng replied.

“No, no, this isn’t right!” Zhao Yu reb.u.t.ted. “If not for you, we wouldn’t have obtained so many items. Not to mention the fact that a great deal of the rewards are ranked.”

It was Zhang Tianche’s turn to step in. “Qin Feng takes forty percent, we’ll get twenty each!”

“Agreed!” Zhou Hao said as he nodded in agreement.

Qin Feng smiled and nodded in unison. They had finally reached a consensus on the allocation of rewards for the time being.

However, in the next moment, Qin Feng sent a message to Zhou Hao. “You can have my share of the rewards. I want each of you to have a conscious fruit!”

Zhou Hao stared wide-eyed at Qing Feng. Through the communicator, he wrote, “But you’re an ability user! If it were up to me, I want you to have two conscious fruits then leave the final one for Zhao Yu. It’s not a big deal to her that she gets less spirit herbs, or at the very least, it won’t negatively hamper her abilities. After all, it’s not like you need those things now, right?”

“Even the best ancient warriors need a bit of conscious energy. While it isn’t the most important unit of their total power, it can mean either life or death at the most crucial moment. Also, do you really think that a consciousness tree is only able to bear three conscious fruits at once?”

Zhou Hao made a troubled expression.

Qin Feng picked up Xiao Bai and held her near his chest while brus.h.i.+ng her soft fur with affection.

At that moment, there was a slight change in Zhou Hao’s facial expression that reflected his sudden awareness of something.

It became apparent that his mind had returned to the incident at the Greenhill copper mine.

Back then when Xiao Bai left, she went to steal the conscious fruits!

His thoughts then turned to the bare consciousness tree of today. In remembrance of the princ.i.p.al of Chengyang University, Zhou Hao mentally lit up a row of candles.

How unfortunate!

The exchange between them stopped then and there. Try as they might they simply could not think of anything to say to each other. Even the records on their communicators had been wiped clean.

It was only after they had cleared the gates of the military base did Qin Feng get off the vehicle at a relatively busy street. As he did so, a great number of students looked up at him, eyes full of admiration. This was partly also because it was their first time coming to Chengyang City. Needless to say, just going around this bustling city once was enough for them to learn much more than they would elsewhere.

However, most of these students would not be able to afford to stay around here for too long!

On the other hand, Qin Feng had no such worries.

After all, the huge amount of raw materials brought over from Han Town had not even been processed yet! Qin Feng managed to locate a relatively secluded corner and subsequently, set up a Dark Shroud around its perimeter to prevent prying eyes from looking in.

Bai Li hopped down from his shoulder and morphed into her human form. She then put on some clothes, a cap as well as a pair of dark sungla.s.ses.
