Chapter 135 The War God's Banquet (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)

Upon entering the restaurant, Xu Feng glanced around.

There were about thirty people present, whether they were tenured or contracted.

Almost all of them were generals belonging to Tianyue Martial Arts University, or their family members.

There wasn't a single warrior-level fighter in Tianyue Martial Arts Academy.

Of course, Blue Eagle's owner was not present; he probably appeared last.

The entire second floor of the restaurant has a very elegant environment and looks very high-end.

But there are very few people.

After looking around carefully, Xu Feng realized that it was actually their group who had booked the entire place.

What a grand display.

As a student of Blue Eagle, Lu Fei naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted with many glances and greetings.

Especially those warriors who graduated from Tianyue Martial Arts University were very enthusiastic about her.

Xu Feng, on the other hand, was much more invisible, almost as unnoticed as Xiao Dan.

Apart from a few contracted generals who came over to say hello.

The other generals of Tianyue Martial Arts University barely nodded at him.

Regarding warriors who are formally trained and those who are self-taught, as well as those who are officially employed and those who are not.

Xu Feng had heard these topics countless times and didn't care at all.

Ultimately, warriors and generals are judged by their strength.

Whether you're on the official payroll or not, you'll die anyway if you're in danger.

However, human societies are never immune to these differences and discriminations.

So he had long since come to terms with it.

Therefore, Xu Feng was happy to have some free time, sitting at the table with Xiao Dan, constantly eating various snacks and treats.

All social interactions were left to Lu Fei to handle.

Husband and wife are of the same mind.

Lu Fei naturally knew Xu Feng's thoughts, so she took the initiative to take on these troublesome matters.

It wasn't until a travel-worn figure walked into the restaurant that things started to liven up around Xu Feng.

"Boom-"

Li Suifeng threw his sword on the table and picked up a plate of candied peanuts, then started "drinking" them into his mouth.

Continue until the plate is empty.

He then wiped the dust off his face that he hadn't had time to clean off: "Happy New Year, brother-in-law."

"hapiness!"

Xu Feng smiled and handed him a glass of water.

Li Suifeng took the water, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then put down the cup and wiped his mouth: "Finally back. Damn it, those mutated creatures are getting more and more troublesome, like they've taken some kind of brain tonic."

"You left the city?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.

Li Suifeng nodded and said, "Yes, I accepted a mission to hunt down a black rhinoceros and take its horn for medicine."

Sigh, that thing grows in a very remote place, almost 400 kilometers away from Base Nine.

It took me three whole days of traveling to get there.

As soon as they entered the wasteland, they were ambushed by a group of snow foxes.

"An ambush?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.

Li Suifeng nodded speechlessly and said, "Yes, I heard a lot of people talking about it a few days ago. There is a group of snow foxes raising black rhinoceroses in this wasteland."

They would keep rhinos in captivity in certain areas, just like humans do, waiting for human warriors to come and hunt them.

Then, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they launched a surprise attack and captured both the man and the rhinoceros.

Li Suifeng pulled out a wet wipe from the table and started wiping his face: "I originally thought someone was just bragging, but this time I almost really fell victim to their scheme."

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and had prepared four or five packets of strong aphrodisiacs.

As I approached that area, I felt an unnatural quietness around me.

So I found a spot upwind and started scattering confetti as I walked.

Before I could even make a move, the group of snow foxes couldn't contain themselves and began to engage in deep conversation on the spot.

He chuckled maliciously, no longer resembling the handsome young man he once was.

He's a total lyb.

Xu Feng: "."

He turned to look at Xiao Dan, who was eating intently, before glaring at Li Suifeng.

Li Suifeng snapped out of his daze and quickly made an apologetic gesture.

"what?"

result.

Just as Hsu Feng was about to skip the topic...

Another contracted warrior at the same table leaned over in surprise: "Really? I heard about this a couple of days ago, but I thought it was a joke."

It seems that many mutated creatures, especially those at the Beast General level, have recently undergone this change, with their intelligence increasing far too quickly.

I heard that in just the last two months of the year, the casualty rate of martial arts teams that went out to hunt mutated creatures increased by a full 20%!
Do you think it's possible that these mutated creatures have collectively evolved?

"Who knows? Anyway, the risks of going out have increased significantly now, and the price of meat will probably go up later."

Hearing the two chatting, Xu Feng immediately recalled the report he and others had submitted to the base earlier about the mutated creatures ambushing them at the communications station.

I wonder how the investigation by the higher-ups at the base is going.

It sounds like this trend is getting stronger.

And it has begun to appear on a large scale.

Before the group could exchange more than a few words, the entire second floor suddenly fell silent.

A faint but palpable pressure emanated from the direction of the restaurant entrance.

Xu Feng subconsciously looked towards the restaurant entrance.

Then a figure strode into the restaurant with two staff members.

Before everyone could stand up, he waved his hand and said, "I'm really sorry I'm late. I had some trouble dealing with."

Please feel free to sit anywhere, no need to be shy.

I'll cover all the expenses tonight.

I hope everyone enjoys the food and drinks, and I wish you all a Happy New Year.

"Professor Lan!"

Happy New Year, Professor Lan!

Happy New Year, teacher.

Happy New Year, Professor!

Although that's what Professor Blue Eagle said, the others certainly weren't going to be so foolish as to just sit there and do nothing.

As a result, many people stood up and bowed to Blue Eagle.

They greeted each other with the etiquette of martial artists and offered New Year's blessings.

Xu Feng originally intended to just eat without a care in the world.

However, considering that Lan Ying was Lu Fei's mentor and had even arranged a job for him, she was still worried.

No matter how you look at it, they were quite kind to the two of them.

It would be really inappropriate not to offer a toast.

So Xu Feng decided to offer Lan Ying a drink when he had some free time.

But he didn't expect it.

Before he could even get up, Blue Eagle waved to Lu Fei and Xu Feng from afar, "Little Xu, are you free? Come over and chat."

This one sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

Those generals who came from Wuhan University, in particular, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even Lu Fei was somewhat surprised.

Because Blue Eagle called out "Little Xu," not the two of them.

Xu Feng quickly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, stood up, picked up his wine glass, and respectfully approached Lan Ying.

"Happy New Year, Teacher Lan."

Xu Feng addressed Lan Ying with the utmost respect, behaving like a junior.

"Don't be shy, have a seat!" Lan Ying pulled out a chair next to him, smiled, and clinked glasses with Xu Feng.

He took a sip before putting it down.

Xu Feng drank it all in one gulp as a sign of respect.

Then, he sat down awkwardly.

"Don't be so tense, relax, I'm not going to eat people."

Blue Eagle smiled gently.

Then he asked Xu Feng, "Are you enjoying the food?"

Xu Feng smiled憨厚ly: "It's delicious. We usually wouldn't dare to eat such high-grade meat ourselves."

Blue Eagle smiled and said, "When we return to Earth, you and Lu Fei can bring the children to our home."

"Let my old woman cook you a meal, and then you'll know what delicious food really is."

Xu Feng didn't take the other party's polite words seriously: "Okay, I'll definitely pay a visit then."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, it turned out that Blue Eagle had something to ask Xu Feng, rather than specifically wishing him a Happy New Year alone.

"By the way, Lu Fei told the school before that your maintenance team reported an unusual incident while on a mission, right?"

Blue Eagle asked Xu Feng with a slightly serious expression.

Xu Feng nodded: "That's right, it's about mutated creatures."

He recounted to Blue Eagle everything that had happened to him and his companions.

Then, he remembered what Li Suifeng had just said and told Lan Ying about it as well.

As expected, Blue Eagle also called Li Suifeng over.

However, seeing his travel-worn appearance, Blue Eagle frowned and said, "Look at everyone here, and then look at yourself. How old are you this year? Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng felt a chill run down his spine, and he and Li Suifeng almost simultaneously lowered their heads.

Indeed, reverence for teachers is ingrained in every student's bones.

Terrible.

Especially since this teacher is also an extreme warrior.

That would be even scarier.

To Xu Feng's surprise, Li Suifeng actually replied with "22".

Xu Feng's face twitched; he almost choked on his own suffocation.

Are they asking your age?
Sure enough, Blue Eagle was stunned for a while upon hearing Li Suifeng's answer.

He took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, and looked at Xu Feng with a wry smile: "Sometimes I really want to call the police."

Xu Feng suppressed a laugh, thinking that this war god didn't seem so scary after all, so he teased, "He's still a child."

Blue Eagle laughed too: "You're right."

Seeing that the two of them were laughing, Li Suifeng looked a little confused: "Teacher, I'm 22 years old, not a child anymore."

"Never mind, that's not important. Tell me about what happened to you on this trip."

Blue Eagle waved his hand and returned to the main topic.

Li Suifeng then recounted his entire experience on this trip.

When Lan Ying heard that he had carried four or five packets of potent aphrodisiacs, his face turned horribly dark.

Seeing that Li Suifeng was starting to describe the dirty tricks he had prepared, Xu Feng quickly reminded him, "Ahem, let's get down to business."

Li Suifeng quickly said, "Oh right, after that I killed all those fox spirits."

But Black Rhino ran away, damn it, cough cough, what a pity.

After listening to Li Suifeng's explanation, Lan Ying pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I understand. You guys go back and eat as much as you want."

Xu Feng then stood up with Li Suifeng, clasped his hands in a respectful farewell, and turned to leave.

Back at the dining table, Li Suifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Teachers are really scary. I'm terrified every time I see them."

Xu Feng chuckled silently.

"Brother-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Li Suifeng turned around and started taking big bites of food.

Lu Fei, who was standing nearby, whispered, "I'm laughing at you for being an idiot."

Li Suifeng pouted: "Senior, give me some face. There are so many people here."

Lu Fei shook her head, rolled her eyes, speechless at this guy, and turned to take care of Xiao Dan.

Xu Feng himself thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Although in the second half of the game, many people would come up to him and toast him.

Xu Feng was also well aware of why this was the case.

Of course, it was because Blue Eagle specifically asked him to come over for a chat.

Even the ultimate warriors are willing to have a private chat with him.

In the eyes of these arrogant, professionally trained warriors, Xu Feng was naturally categorized as—

A person who is "self-taught but seems to have some talent".

Of course, we also think highly of him.

Although Xu Feng disliked social interactions, he was no stranger to such social situations.

No matter who offers him a toast, he is always polite and respectful, because everyone respects each other.

but.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Feng's mind returned to the topic that Lan Ying had just brought up.

The fact that even this ultimate war god is paying attention to this topic shows that these mutated creatures have indeed been making some unusual moves recently.

Do not know why.

A sense of unease suddenly arose in Xu Feng's heart.

Or perhaps it's a premonition, a feeling that something bad is about to happen.
It was past nine o'clock when I got home.

Xu Feng, however, was somewhat uneasy.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about tonight?"

After washing Xiao Dan up, Lu Fei urged her to go to bed, and then looked at Xu Feng with surprise.

Xu Feng frowned and asked, "Hmm, have you experienced anything like this before?"
The mutated organisms collectively exhibited unusual behavior, resulting in a large-scale evolutionary process characterized by increased intelligence.

At this point, Lu Fei also became serious: "I've never actually experienced this before, but if we're talking about this situation, there have indeed been two instances in history."

"Which two times?" Xu Feng pressed.

Lu Fei recounted in great detail: "The first time was when the sinkhole first appeared, causing widespread biological mutations across the globe."

The second instance was a large-scale secondary mutation that occurred in dimensional realms 1-4 in history, which raised the dimensional realm level to level 2.

是唯一一个位于1级天坑内的2级次元界，如今的代号为1-2-4号次元界。”

After saying that, Lu Fei immediately laughed and said, "You don't think that the 13th dimensional realm is also going to experience this kind of mutation, do you?"

"Otherwise what?" Xu Feng asked with a serious expression.

"You're overthinking it," Lu Fei waved her hand. "In the dimensional world, it's perfectly normal for some creatures to evolve due to certain factors."

And like these two major historical events, especially the second increase in the danger level of the dimensional realm.

It is also due to extremely special reasons that it is almost impossible to replicate.

"What special reason?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.

Lu Fei scratched her head: "It seems that some kind of 'special substance' has appeared in the dimensional world, which has caused this change."

I don't know the specifics, it seems to be highly confidential.

However, the teacher had previously stated explicitly that this was unlikely to happen again.

"Did Teacher Blue Eagle say that?" Xu Feng asked.

Lu Fei nodded: "Yes, don't worry."

If such an anomaly does occur, it will be a good thing for us.

"Good news?" Xu Feng didn't quite understand what Lu Fei meant.

“That’s right, it’s a good thing,” Lu Fei said with a smile. “The great anomaly in history raised the danger level of the dimensional realm from Level 1 to Level 2.”

As the anomaly occurs, the environment of the entire dimensional world will also undergo tremendous changes.

More potent herbs, spiritual plants, and essential substances will be born between heaven and earth.

As the mutated creatures grow stronger, humanity's strength will also increase accordingly.

Moreover, for us warriors, the increase in the strength of mutated creatures will increase the density of beast generals.

This will also make it easier for us to make money, isn't that a good thing?

"But what about the lower-level martial artists and ordinary people?"

Xu Feng frowned and asked.

Lu Fei waved her hand and said, "Once the danger level of the dimensional realm increases, the strength of human garrison here and the allocation of experts will naturally change accordingly."

So, in general, for ordinary people, things are the same as they were before, and they remain the same now.

Those who are willing to stay are adults who are willing to stay and are psychologically prepared to encounter more dangers.

Everyone must take responsibility for their own choices; the higher the risk taken, the higher the potential reward—it's all equal.

Xu Feng remained silent.

Ok.

Sure enough, the ideas of a professionally trained martial artist are different from his.

When I heard that the dimensional realm could actually increase the danger level.

Xu Feng's first thought was that if something like this happened, he should quickly take a plane back to Earth.

Then choose a less dangerous dimensional realm to continue developing peacefully.

But Lu Fei thought of rising to the challenge and saw it as an opportunity.

Hsu Feng couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong.

But since Lu Fei has the courage...

Could it be that Xu, a dignified man, a powerful warrior, a spiritual master, a chief engineer, and a university lecturer, would be afraid?
It must be impossible.

Moreover.

Teacher Lan Ying said it's absolutely impossible.

What is he afraid of?

a few days later.

Lunar New Year's Eve has finally arrived.

Xu Feng and his family of three, Huang Sen and his wife, plus Li Suifeng who insisted on getting a free meal.

The six of us spent a pleasant New Year's Eve together.

To Xu Feng's surprise, the Spring Festival Gala at the base was exceptionally good.

Especially when several powerful warriors are on stage telling stories, singing, joking, wrestling, and even two mentalists performing magic tricks.

This show is quite interesting.

After dinner, everyone watched TV for a while and then went their separate ways.

After everyone had left, Xiao Dan was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.

Xu Feng pulled Lu Fei to lie on the deck chair on the balcony, gazing blankly at the dark night sky.

There wasn't a single star in the sky.

It's very uncomfortable.

"Missing home?" Lu Fei suddenly asked Xu Feng.

"Yes." Xu Feng didn't try to hide it.

However, he wasn't thinking about his home here, but rather his biological parents on Earth.

I wonder how they are doing?

The thought of his parents' anguish at the prospect of discovering their own demise filled Xu Feng with heartache.

The most painful thing in the world is for a parent to outlive their child.

He simply couldn't understand those novel protagonists who forgot their parents, friends, and all their relatives as soon as they transmigrated.

But there really wasn't much he could do.

"How about we make a video call to Earth tomorrow?"

Lu Fei thought for a moment and then said this.

"Huh?" Xu Feng looked at her, puzzled. "How do we fight?"

"Huh?" Lu Fei looked at Xu Feng in astonishment. "Each base has a dedicated communication room connected to Earth. You can make calls as long as you pay."

I noticed you've never hit it before, so I assumed you had some kind of conflict with your family.

After all, you're forty and still unmarried, and you've even adopted a child; many families probably wouldn't be able to accept that.

So you said it was because you didn't know? That's impossible.

When we first entered the dimensional realm, these matters were communicated through official channels.

Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, but he said casually, "Hey, when we first came here, we were terrified. We didn't have time to remember so many things."
