Chapter 145 A New Boss Arrives, and an Old Acquaintance Appears Again

Early the next morning.

Lu Fei just arrived.

He saw Xu Feng smiling at him, holding a ring in his hand.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "We're an old married couple, why did you suddenly decide to give me a ring?"

Xu Feng chuckled softly: "Because this ring is very special."

As he spoke, he conjured a bouquet of roses out of thin air with a flick of his wrist.

Lu Fei raised an eyebrow: "How did you do that?"

Xu Feng flipped his hand again, and the rose transformed into a sharp, pale gold thorn.

Lu Feiteng sat up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at Xu Feng in shock, exclaiming, "An alien weapon? This is a spatial ring?!"

Xu Feng nodded and handed her the ring: "That's right, this is a storage ring that can store things, you know?"

"Of course I know, the teacher has one!"
This thing is very precious; it's rarely found even in ancient ruins, and it's usually in the hands of war gods.

Lu Fei clearly knew the value of the ring.

He was holding the small, antique ring with an excited expression.

"This is so precious, where did you get it?"

Xu Feng then recounted his experiences from the previous two days to Lu Fei.

He then took out the invisible waist buckle and showed it to her.

"Hiss—that was really close. You risked your life to get this, so take it and use it."

Lu Fei, still shaken, grabbed Xu Feng's hand and returned the ring to him.

Xu Feng chuckled and handed the ring to Lu Fei.

He then flipped his hand and took out his battle sword from his spatial ring.

Lu Fei glanced at the ring on her hand, and her mouth dropped open in astonishment: "You, you have another one?!"

Xu Feng smiled and nodded: "That's right, I got this one on the way to Base 9."

Do you remember the goods Li Tianlang and his team were transporting? I remember…

Xu Feng recounted the entire process to Lu Fei.

Lu Fei suddenly realized, "No wonder there was nothing in that box. This thing actually recognizes its owner through spiritual power!"

As she spoke, she put the second ring on her hand.

"My goodness, you're incredibly lucky!"

For an ordinary person, encountering even one in a lifetime is already incredibly lucky, but you actually have two!
If word got out, even the God of War would have to admit defeat.

Xu Feng chuckled and then explained softly to her, "Alright, stop joking. Carefully sense the ring; it only takes a wisp of spiritual energy to recognize it as yours."

Everyone has spiritual strength, but it's just that it's hard to feel it in everyday life.

"Concentrate. Yes, I'll go out first, so as not to disturb you. You can try."

After saying that, he prepared to get up.

After all, for non-spiritual practitioners, mobilizing spiritual power is an extremely elusive and difficult task.

This requires absolute concentration.

As soon as he stood up...

Lu Fei exclaimed with delight, "It's done!"

Xu Feng turned his head in surprise to look at the other person.

Seeing that the ring was no longer visible on Lu Fei's hand, he knew that the girl had successfully chosen her as her owner.

Xu Feng shook his head in astonishment and said, "This is a genius! I thought you'd be a little longer!"

Lu Fei frowned and pinched his nose: "Stop using the word 'genius, genius' all the time. I hate that word."

"If I'm a genius, then what is Yue Changkong?!"

Xu Feng laughed and said, "Alright, alright, you seem to be taking this too seriously."

Is this because Yue Changkong left her with psychological trauma?

Lu Fei sighed, then brightened up and said, "Never mind him, let's not talk about the ring."

As she spoke, she reached out and put the two pillows into her spatial ring, then took them out again.

He tried playing there for a long time, just like Xu Feng had done, before finally giving up.

Clearly, Lu Fei was in a great mood because of the spatial ring.

The shadow of defeat in the game also dissipated.

That same day, she and Xu Feng purchased a spare set of secondhand weapons, equipment, and combat uniforms in case of emergency.

At the same time, she also bought a large amount of daily necessities and emergency medicines and stored them in her spatial ring.

After making sufficient preparations.

The two then returned to the ordinariness of their daily lives.

The final competition will be held three months after the selection rounds.

At that time, all participants will have to return to Earth to participate in the finals.

Therefore, Xu Feng will also bring Xiao Dan back to Earth at that time.

It was time to put an end to some things he had been avoiding.

Whether it's meeting his own family or Lu Fei's family, it's the same.

Therefore, Hsu Feng began to carefully select gifts for their meeting in advance.

Even Lu Fei felt that Xu Feng was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Who starts preparing a gift three months before they're about to meet?

But Hsu Feng insisted on making preparations early.

He didn't want Lu Fei to lose face in front of her family.

but.

Just three days later.

An unexpected event, however, diverted Xu Feng's attention.

Lu Fei told Xu Feng that her mentor, Lan Ying, had sent her a message.

The results of the investigation into the evolution of intelligence in mutated organisms have been released.

"The phenomenon of mutated organisms undergoing mental evolution has only appeared in the vicinity of Zone C in the Wumeng Mountains."

It spreads outwards from Base No. 9.

The investigation results indicate that the cause of this change is unknown, but it is highly likely to gradually expand in scope.

This meets the standards for dimensional evolution; all units are requested to prepare accordingly.

Lu Fei read the results to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was completely confused: "What do you mean?"

Lu Fei said seriously, "What I mean is that the 13th Dimension may really be about to be upgraded, and it will start from Base Nine!"

Xu Feng's expression changed slightly: "What if things really change? What do we do then?"

Lu Fei comforted her, "Don't panic. Even if the dimensional world is really going to change, the cycle will be as long as ten or even several decades."

This is not a short-term matter.

To put it bluntly, Base Nine will be the core of the entire dimensional world for a considerable period of time to come.

In the coming days, it is likely that forces from all sides, along with talented individuals, will gather here.

Because the last time this happened in the dimensional realm, humanity was caught completely off guard and suffered greatly.

Once prepared, this will be a place of rise, representing immense wealth and overwhelming power.

Xu Feng asked, puzzled, "How did it become wealth?"

Lu Fei explained, "Let me use a game as an example."

Suppose that the 13th Dimension was originally a low-level map, but now it is about to be upgraded to a high-level map.

High-level treasures, high-level spirit ores, and high-level rare and precious materials will appear here.

Similarly, advanced threats will also emerge.

The evolution of mutable organisms takes time; it cannot be completed overnight.

Therefore, as long as the monsters are cleared in advance, they can be dealt with before the mutated creatures complete their evolution.

So, does this mean the map only shows high-level treasures, spiritual materials, and the spoils?

Xu Feng nodded: "That makes sense."

Lu Fei took a deep breath: "Similarly, because the 13th dimensional realm will undergo evolution, the human world will invest more resources here to cope with the increased danger level. So, those who arrive here first and gain power and status here, won't they reap more rewards?"

Xu Feng nodded and said, "That's true."

Lu Fei smiled and said, "So, Base 9 will soon take off, and people will naturally flock here, which is also an opportunity for us."

Xu Feng nodded and said, "That's true. If we act cautiously enough and use the right methods, it is indeed an opportunity."

In the past, if you wanted to kill a mutated creature at the level of a beast general, you might have to go hundreds of kilometers deep into the Wumeng Mountains.

Then in the future, you might encounter a mutated creature at the level of a beast general as soon as you leave the city.

Of course, this is a good thing for the strong.

However, this is not a good thing for those warriors or even more ordinary people and servants.

but.

The trend of development is unstoppable.

Those who cannot adapt will be eliminated.

This has always been the case.

Xu Feng was also very clear about this.

Sure enough, the winds of change soon reached all departments of the base.

It was four days after Lu Fei received the intelligence.

The military then integrated and established a new engineering department.

The original military repair department and several other departments responsible for maintaining various aspects were incorporated into its subordinate units.

The new Minister of Engineering was parachuted in from above.

It is said that they are of noble birth and powerful.

These past few days, the entire military repair department has been preparing to welcome the new leader.

Liu Charlie naturally went from being the minister to the head of the military repair team.

of course.

This has nothing to do with Hsu Feng.

He wasn't a leader, just the chief engineer.

And this was the day before the new minister arrived.

An old acquaintance arrived at the military repair department first, much to Xu Feng's surprise.

"Everyone! Let's give a round of applause to welcome the newly appointed Deputy Minister of the Engineering Department, the once-famous Captain Li Tianlang!"

"Welcome, leaders, for your inspection."

Welcome!

Xu Feng stood up, clapping as he stared in astonishment at the newcomer.

He only sighed slightly when he saw the other person's empty left sleeve.

Unexpectedly, Li Tianlang returned alive.

Unfortunately, he lost an arm.

It seems that his entire escape process was fraught with danger, almost the same as Luo Feng's.

It's unknown whether the rest of the Sirius Squad survived, and why Li Tianlang joined the military.

Xu Feng remembered that he was originally a lone wolf, and that the martial arts team he formed was actually a personal one.

It seems there are many stories behind this.

"Thank you everyone, you're too kind. Please go back to work. I'm just here to take a look beforehand and also to see an old friend."

Li Tianlang smiled and spoke gently to everyone.

He then turned to look at Xu Feng in the crowd, smiled and nodded: "Long time no see, Mr. Xu, oh, now I should call you Chief Xu."

All thirty-odd engineers in the department turned to look at Xu Feng in surprise, no one expected that he and Li Tianlang were old acquaintances.

People couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the new leader was actually an old acquaintance of XCMG.

Xu Feng's future career advancement will definitely be exceptionally smooth.

It's likely that Charlie Lau will replace him soon.

Clearly, Charlie Liu thought so too.

Therefore, when he heard that Li Tianlang and Xu Feng knew each other, his expression changed slightly.

However, he was a shrewd person, so of course he wouldn't show his emotions on his face.

After greeting the two with a smile for a few moments, he left, leaving them alone.

"Luo Feng said he met you a few days ago, so you should know what happened between us."

After leaving the office, the two walked side by side toward the garden outside the building.

Li Tianlang smiled calmly.

Xu Feng nodded: "I never expected our reunion to be like this. Your arm..."

"Hey, it's nothing, it won't affect my combat power much, and besides, there are ways to fix it."

Li Tianlang waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

Xu Feng looked at the other person with admiration: "A strong person is a strong person. Just this kind of mentality is something we can't learn."

Upon hearing this, Li Tianlang couldn't help but chuckle: "We're old acquaintances, no need for such formalities."

Who would want to lose their arm if they could keep it? I barely escaped with my life.

However, because what I brought back was quite important, it was considered a great contribution to the military.

That's how he was appointed as the deputy minister of the engineering department.

Now I'm just waiting to save up enough money to buy the Fountain of Life. If anything happens in the department, you'll have to help me out a lot.

Xu Feng nodded and smiled, "That's for sure. We're old friends, no need to stand on ceremony."

Li Tianlang sighed slightly, walked to the flower bed, plucked a blade of grass, and put it in his mouth: "It's a pity, though, that I originally had the chance to promote you."

But now you're relegated to the position of deputy minister, and personnel matters are no longer under my jurisdiction. It might be difficult to promote you in the future.

"By the way," Li Tianlang glanced around, then whispered, "Did Miss Lu mention anything about the changes that are about to happen in Dimension 13?"

Xu Feng nodded and said, "You mean the matter of biological evolution? Yes, I was the one who initially reported it."

Li Tianlang then realized, "So that's how it is."

Xu Feng asked curiously, "Do you know who the minister is? Someone who can even surpass you, who has made such a great contribution?"

Li Tianlang shook his head slightly and said, "Oh, the candidate for the Minister is Cheng Yu, the son of Cheng Tong, the ultimate war god of Tianyue Martial Arts University."

Although my contribution is great, it lacks a solid foundation, unlike Cheng Yu's.

However, I've also heard that this guy grew up in Earth's No. 1 city.

He is an extremely arrogant genius, and seems rather difficult to get along with.

"Cheng Tong's son?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow, his expression changing slightly.

"What, do you know each other? Or do you have a conflict?" Li Tianlang quickly guessed the truth.

Xu Feng frankly stated, "There is a deep grudge between Lu Fei and Cheng Tong's disciples."

We had a conflict during a previous overseas mission, but it didn't escalate into a fight.

I wonder what the relationship is between Cheng Yu and Fan Min, but I imagine it's quite good.

At this point, Xu Feng said with a hint of annoyance, "Then my life won't be easy from now on."

Upon hearing this, Li Tianlang smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I can't promote you, I can still protect you."

After all, I am a vice minister, and now I have a veteran leader in the military who is a war god-like figure.

Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As for the situation in the city, we'll see.

Before the wave of evolution has even arrived, chaos has already broken out on the human side.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit somber, Li Tianlang changed the subject, saying, "By the way, it's not just the Military Repair Department that's being reorganized; many changes have occurred in various departments within Base Nine."

Even the original person in charge of the base was transferred away and replaced by a new person in charge.

And it is said that this person in charge is quite capable, and was once a legend in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"A legend?" Xu Feng asked curiously.

Li Tianlang said with great admiration, "Yes, this old man was a being who surpassed the level of a war god back then."

Although he is now old, he still commands respect and has many disciples.

If you perform well and catch his eye, you might have a bright future.
