Chapter 159 - Xiao Bai’s Promotion (1/2)
Still, the making of battle costumes for Xiao Bai came first.
Though An Zhengwei was taken aback by Qin Feng’s decision to waste the valuable materials on the gown, he abided by the customer’s desire. This was not the first time he had seen a man spending generously to please his lady.
They finalized the design of the remaining equipment and moved on to other materials Qin Feng wished to lay off. The variety of cores and materials Qin Feng had collected from Han Town were valued at 300 million per market price.
“After deducting the 100 million expense on equipment production, you may opt to use the rest on F-tier beast king cores.”
On top of that, Qin Feng added another 200 million to purchase a total of six beast king cores.
“Prioritize my order. I wish to see it done within two days.”
“Please don’t worry. We will have our best smith on it. It will be perfected in no time.”
Qin Feng nodded and left the auction house very much satisfied.
In the next two days, Qin Feng and Bai Li did not take another step outside of their hotel room. They did not even go out for meals and ordered food through room service.
All the F-tier cores had been given to Bai Li while Qin Feng saved the E-tier core for himself. He won it from the arena.
Absorb!
Qin Feng gripped the crystal core tightly and energy within the core flowed into Qin Feng rapidly.
Cores would usually disappear instantly as soon as Qin Feng had triggered his ability. But this time the core shrunk at an observable speed. The ma.s.s runes merged steadily with Qin Feng’s conscious realm.
Qin Feng was prepared for it and hastily fused the incoming rune into his gem of darkness.
The gem promptly stained the runes and transformed them into mutated h.e.l.lfire. Those were then imprinted on Qin Feng’s own diamond core.
The influx of runes created radiating stripes on the core. The entire process lasted until Qin Feng had absorbed about a hundred thousand fire runes. Throughout the process, Qin Feng’s consciousness was also strengthened continuously by the incoming energy.
His conscious energy had made a huge leap thanks to the E-tier beast king core. He reached the next stage with ease.
F7 tier, then transitioned smoothly to F8. Without any delay, it burst right through the F9-tier barrier.
It stopped right in front of the E-tier gate. His journey to Chengyang and the battle experience he gained through the Spring Hunting Ground had no doubt accelerated his conscious energy way past his physical strength.
Bai Li had a.s.similated three beast king cores by the time Qin Feng arose from his meditation. He stopped her from feasting on the rest. He would not forget the overpowering aura she released when she first attained the F-tier status. It was best not to alert anyone while they were still here in Chengyang.
Two days later, the Wanzong organization had delivered the equipment as promised.
Qin Feng had tailored made himself a battle suit. It was silver in color and looked no different from a normal outfit. However, it would only deceive the eyes of a low-ranked monster. An apt.i.tude user or an intelligent beast could instantly tell how luxurious the suit was with the number of runes emanating from it.
The suit came in a full set encompa.s.sing the s.h.i.+rt, gloves, belt, pants, and boots.
Runic equipment were usually made in the form of inner wears like vests or leggings—a compromise between maximum protection and least material usage. However, since Qin Feng had more than enough to spare, he converted them into a complete battle suit. Moreover, there were two extra inner vests, which Qin Feng intended to give to Zhou Hao and w.a.n.g Chen.
w.a.n.g Chen was no doubt a commendable subordinate.
Qin Feng planned to mold him into one of the major leaders of Fengli in the future. He envisioned that he would at least become a general.
Qin Feng finally decided to leave Chengyang after he had spent the last two days being confined in the hotel room. The two patrols that followed him were equally excited too. Qin Feng’s departure meant that they had accomplished their mission. There was too much uncertainty in guarding Qin Feng. Anything could have happened if Qin Feng were to suddenly act out of the blue, or those from the Xin family were to come to take revenge.
The hovercar left the city and went up the highway quickly. After Chengyang city was out of sight, Qin Feng took a sharp turn and disappeared into the woods.
Dark fogs began to rise around them. n.o.body could see the hovercar now as it had been shrouded by the mist.
