Chapter 815: Meeting Chu Fan Again
“Okay, I’ll get on it right away!” w.a.n.g Chen replied immediately, not even questioning why Qin Feng asked him to get those people.
Qin Feng nodded to himself after hearing w.a.n.g Chen’s reply. This was a real subordinate that he needed—someone who would do anything to fulfill his order, even if it meant doing something crossing one’s own principles.
If he could fully use this kind of subordinate, he could be the best kind of weapon in his organization, a.s.suming that he did not overdo it and cut himself in the process.
Still, Qin Feng believed that all of his subordinates would not do any inhumane things under his leaders.h.i.+p.
“Good. Now, I’ve learned that although this Fettering Land around Chongluo City is indeed a perilous place, the place actually does not affect the powerless civilians much. In fact, this could be an opportunity for people like them!”
Qin Fen then briefly explained what was going on in the Fettering Land. This was done so that w.a.n.g Chen could do his job better. More importantly, he needed him to find volunteers.
Yes, volunteers who were willing in partic.i.p.ating in his research!
He did not want to become the Second Z. If not, he would make a lot more enemies unnecessarily. He might not even know who had become his enemies due to the various consequences of reckless research.
“Certainly, President Qin!”
After listening to Qin Feng’s explanation, w.a.n.g Chen’s mind was finally at ease. He quickly created a name list that fulfilled Qin Feng’s requirement. After hanging up his communicator, the first thing he did was contact w.a.n.g Cheng—his own little brother.
w.a.n.g Chen’s family had all moved to Fengli colony. His seventeen-year-old little brother was one of them. Their family had no need for one more gunner. As such, w.a.n.g Cheng planned to train to be an ancient warrior. This was also why he had been training so hard that he had become the top student in his martial art cla.s.ses.
Unfortunately, after awakening, it was revealed that w.a.n.g Cheng only had minimal potential —his potential was so low that he could only be the lowest ranked gunner! Even though w.a.n.g Chen had acquired a lot of resources working under Qin Feng, he could only help w.a.n.g Cheng ascend to E-tier.
Of course, w.a.n.g Cheng was still provided with one of the best guns available in the colony by his big brother. This meant that even though he was an E-tier, he could still take on fierce ultra beasts with minimal aid.
“Little Cheng, have you ever thought about becoming a real ability user. Like, becoming an ancient warrior?”
“Of course I have! So, what kind of goodies have you found this time, Bro?”
“It’s not a Heavenly Jewel. It’s an opportunity. An opportunity that comes with risks. You might need to go out and kill some ultra beasts.”
“By doing that, I can be an ancient warrior?”
“Yes. It’s an opportunity given by our President.”
“Say no more, Bro. I’m in! To be frank, if you said you wanted to give me some kind of Heavenly Jewels, I wouldn’t accept it. I’ve thought about it alot lately and I’ve accepted that I might not be born for greatness. So, if it’s some more freebies, I’m going to reject them. But this time it’s an opportunity. I get to work to get what I want! So, I’m in! I’ll do my best!”
“Good. Then, I’ll put you on the list.”
After hanging up, w.a.n.g Chen continued on sending out messages after messages, making calls after calls.
“Mr Li, how’s it going lately? I’ll tell you what. I’ve got a golden opportunity over here. One that could make you a legitimate ability user! What? How much would it cost you? Nah, no charge. What? You can’t be thinking that we are short on cash right now, could you? No. I don’t want your money. I want your resolve. Your dad’s business has grown so much and yet you’re not an ability user, which makes it very difficult for you to inherit his empire. Not only that, you can’t join us, the Fengli Organization, without being an ability user too. So, I hope you would consider taking this opportunity, my friend!”
“Hey, Little Han! Do you still want to take your revenge? Great! I have an offer for you…”
“Gentlemen, this is a golden opportunity from our President! Do consider it! I can secure a place for each one of you on the list!”
w.a.n.g Chen was very efficient in his work.
The Fettering Land was still a treacherous place for civilians—because when they stepped into this place, there would be no ability users protecting them. They could only rely on themselves for self-defense. This was why Qin Feng asked w.a.n.g Chen to get people who were willing to partic.i.p.ate. However, from the way w.a.n.g Chen worded it, this sounded like a “golden opportunity” for all these powerless plebeians.
If one wanted to rise to greatness, he better be ready to face some danger. If not, he might as well be a pleb all his life!
Thus, as soon as w.a.n.g Chen’s messages were sent out, a small storm was kicked up in his inner circle. In a matter of minutes, a thousand people had registered to partic.i.p.ate in this experiment! If they were to announce this to the public, they could get billions of people taking part in this!
After all, this experiment could make any powerless civilian into an ability user!
Regardless, w.a.n.g Chen did not take everyone. Instead, he handpicked a few people who seemed capable of taking care of themselves in combat.
While w.a.n.g Chen was getting volunteers for the experiment, Qin Feng stayed on the aircraft to handle various affairs that came with the migrating population from Chongluo. 3 hours later, Qin Feng then asked Bai Li to open up the spatial tunnel.
The sky was turning dark.
Therefore, not many people noticed that there was a spatial tunnel opening up in the sky. Qin Feng darted straight into the tunnel and quickly sealed off the entrance of the tunnel, not giving time for the creatures in the Fettering Land to absorb any of the energies from this side of the world.
“Crunch Crunch Crunch!”
After a few moments of hovering in the air, Qin Feng could hear some loud, eerie chewing from below. It sounded like some huge creature was chewing and devouring a lot of its prey in the woods.
Qin Feng quickly held his breath to conceal his presence as he landed on the ground. Even though he did not put much effort in presence concealment, due to not many people having their consciousness activated, Qin Feng was still as stealthy as a cat.
After a few silent steps ahead, Qin Feng saw it—a five-meter, chubby ultra beast with round ears and thick pelt. From afar, it looked like a big, fat bear!
The ultra beast was sitting on a patch of gra.s.s, using its long tongue to lick clean the corpses and blood on the ground.
More importantly, there was a young man riding on the bear’s back.
“Growwl!” The bear’s ears perked up as it instinctively sensed Qin Feng’s presence.
As soon as the bear saw Qin Feng, the young man on its back too had taken notice of Qin Feng and looked in his direction.
“Who’s there?!”
The young man’s voice sounded childlike and yet aggressive.
Qin Feng immediately recognized who that was.
“Chu Fan! It’s me!” Qin Feng opened his mouth as he stepped out of his hiding.
“You!” Chu Fan did not expect Qin Feng to appear before him. “I thought you’ve already gone home? Why are you back?”
Chu Fan’s eyes were glittering with doubt. Despite that, his eyes did not radiate hostility like he did the last time they met.
Chu Fan hated Z. He wanted to destroy everything that Z created. However, this did not mean that Chu Fan was completely consumed by hatred.
After observing for a whole day, Chu Fan could tell that Qin Feng was different. Everything he did in Chongluo City felt so different from Z’s methods.
To add more, Chu Fan was also able to determine Qin Feng’s faction through a day’s worth of observation—this Qin Feng belonged to a faction called “Fengli”; and “Fengli” was not part of Z’s organization.
“I’m just here to handle a few things… and a few words of advice, man. You’ve seen their research before; so, you should know that it’s a bad idea leaving these corpses lying around like this. In just one day, this whole place would be swarmed with giant bugs!”
Chu Fan’s eyes glittered with interest before opening his mouth, “You are so different from Z!”
“I did tell you that I’m not with him!” Qin Feng answered with a bitter smile. “Still, if I were you, I wouldn’t be showing myself without making sure that I could take on my enemy!”
