The video was a recording from a first-person perspective. The way he killed and fought off the giant rats was enough to prove that he had way more firepower than most who were here.
“Please hold on, sir. I shall bring you your reward now. Is there anything else you need?” asked the staff respectfully and politely.
“What do you mean? Are you seriously trying to convince us he really killed all those giant rats alone?” asked a mercenary standing behind Qin Feng, clearly filled with discontentment.
“I assure you there is nothing wrong with the machine. The results are accurate!”
“I don’t believe you! Could he be the son of some high-ranking officer? Is that why you’ve privately added his merit points?!”
“That must be it!”
“I will never condone such a shameless deed! And you even have the guts to do it in front of us?!”
1“He is still so young! There’s no way you possess such powerful abilities!”
“And there isn’t a single wound on him!”
Everyone was adamant in finding out the truth about this unbelievable warrior, Qin Feng. On the other hand, the number of dead giant rats at the plantation was a fixed variable. The results clearly showed that Qin Feng had killed most of the giant rats alone. In other words, the others would have all received fewer merit points, leaving them suspicious that Qin Feng had somehow manipulated the scores, snatching their kills away from them.
3The entire crowd had just sustained a battle with monstrous creatures and had to fight with their lives. Spirits were still high, and the adrenaline had not left them. Without so much as a word, they started to surround Qin Feng.
Surprisingly, he stood his ground and remained calm despite the stressful circumstances. The employee, caught in the middle of the storm, was left facing an awkward situation. After watching his combat video, they knew that Qin Feng was genuinely extremely powerful.
“Mister, do you mind show them your combat video?”
“Of course, I mind!”
The results were fair and square, and knowing he was fair from the start, Qin Feng felt it unnecessary for his combat video to be displayed before a mob. Showing off his kills would only make him an unsavory target, painting his back with a huge bullseye. He could become the center of rumors and unwanted attention.
2Of course, his refusal to prove his claims had the crowd erupt in greater discontent and anger.
“We cannot let him go! We, the garrison troops of Chengbei Colony, demand an explanation!”
“What kind of explanation are you guys asking for? The video has never been tampered with. How dare you people throw such baseless accusations? If all of you here think that you are right, let’s make a bet then!”
“What do you want to bet?” asked the loudest and haughtiest ability user behind him.
“Let’s bet about my combat video. I will ask the staff to send it to everyone. If the combat video is real, you guys have to pay me 100,000. And if the video is fake, I will pay all of you 100,000!”
“Haha! Go ahead! I will never believe you! The bet is on!”
“Count me in!”
“Free money! I want it too! I want to see your face after you cry like a baby!”
Predictably, a large number of them calmed down when they heard of the involvement of cold-hard cash.
Some of them even recognized that he was Qin Feng.
After all, Qin Feng had stayed here for at least four to five days. The regulars had laid eyes on him and Xiao Jing at least once. It was a well-known fact around town that he had singlehandedly killed 50 threadsnakes only recently. The crowd started to cast their doubts the moment the results displayed that he had just slaughtered over 500 giant rats under such bad weather. However, Qin Feng’s calm disposition was starting to take effect, and they began to doubt themselves.
“Can I borrow your bank account for a while?” asked Qin Feng while looking at the staff.
Immediately, the staff nodded his head. If Qin Feng won the bet for some unlikely reason, this would prove that he was indeed the most powerful person here.
