Gou Zai Gaowu Shijie Cheng Shen

Chapter 175 Blood Qi Surges, Beast Tide Besieges the City!

Xu Feng didn't need to worry about the gift for Senior Yin; with Huang Sen as the producer, he was more at ease.

When he had some free time, Hsu Feng took a rare day to go shopping with his wife and children.

The summer breeze has begun to blow.

The streets were filled with martial artists and crowds of people.

The roadside vegetation is starting to turn green.

Occasionally, birds would fly by chasing insects, quickly disappearing into the bushes.

It deftly flew out, ignoring the obstacles between the branches.

If you were to put yourself in that situation, it would truly send chills down your spine.

Looking around, the entire base is becoming increasingly vibrant.

There is no sun in the dimensional world.

Therefore, on days when the temperature is not high, the weather is pleasant and makes people feel comfortable.

The azure sky is paired with soft, fluffy clouds.

The combination of clean streets and cleanliness creates a comic book-like effect.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Feng felt that he had adapted to life in this dimensional world without the sun.

The air is clean, and technology and nature coexist.

The sky was still bright, but the annoying, glaring sunlight was gone.

The plants continued to grow normally, and the animals each had their own unique characteristics.

All of this perfectly matches his fantastical feelings about the world of fantasy.

Scientists are said to have concluded after studying the ecosystem of the dimensional world:

Although there is no direct sunlight, there are plenty of other forms of light in the dimensional world.

At the same time, this place is filled with a mysterious and unique atmosphere.

This makes all living things even more robust than those on Earth.

As martial artists are nourished and immersed in this unique aura for a long time, their strength will naturally and steadily increase.

"It's rare to see you not practicing today."

Sometimes I feel like I have all the cultivation I need compared to you.

The effort they've put in is simply not commensurate with their current capabilities.

Lu Fei said with a smile as she picked out clothes for Xu Feng.

Xu Feng said with a smile, "That's what you're saying."

Then I wasted the past few decades, who can I complain to?

Isn't this a case of the early bird catches the worm?

Lu Fei smiled gently, glanced at Xiao Dan who was running around aimlessly, and whispered to Xu Feng:
"By the way, I heard from the teacher yesterday that Xiaodan's blood and energy have been increasing very quickly recently, and she is almost catching up with the other students."

Do you think this could be due to telekinesis?

I've heard that the growth of spiritual power can also have some positive effects on the body's Qi and blood, and occasionally even promote the growth of flesh and blood.

Xu Feng nodded: "That's possible, after all, Wang Long's potion stimulates potential rather than directly increasing mental power."

As Xiao Dan grows, her Qi and blood, as well as her spiritual power, will complement each other and should all increase at an increasingly rapid pace, which is a good thing.

Lu Fei asked with some concern, "But isn't this kind of growth a bit abnormal?"

After all, that girl's blood and energy levels used to be much lower than others.

"It suddenly started growing, and I'm afraid others will become suspicious."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the teacher mentions it in the future, just say that I've been giving her nutritional supplements recently."

We're also supplementing it with some nutritional supplements; just to give you an idea of ​​how much money we're investing in nurturing Little Dan.

“I understand,” Lu Fei nodded knowingly, a mischievous smile suddenly appearing on her face. “By the way, I also heard that Fan Min has been discharged from the hospital.”

Our student union is organizing a group to visit them soon, would you like to go?

Seeing the mischievous smile on Lu Fei's face, Xu Feng couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder: "Forget it, let's stop here. I'm not interested in dealing with her anymore, it's pointless."

Wouldn't it be better to use that time to train and improve your strength?

Lu Fei nodded upon hearing this: "Cheng Yu's father, Cheng Tong, is that Extreme War God. He may be coming to Base 9 soon."

Be careful; if he tries to cause trouble for us, I'll tell the teacher immediately.

Xu Feng immediately raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Okay, I understand."

But surely the mighty God of War wouldn't cause us trouble over such trivial matters?
That's far too stingy.

Lu Fei clearly had a very bad impression of this person, and said with a sneer, "Who can say for sure? Some people may have exceptional strength, but they don't have the demeanor of a senior at all."

Some people may be less capable, but they are superior in both character and teaching.

After all, people are different.

Xu Feng nodded in deep agreement.

However, he didn't take it to heart.

Now he has someone to rely on.

The mere Extreme God of War couldn't put any psychological pressure on him.

In the afternoon.

After lunch.

Xu Feng packed his equipment and backpack, and set off with the food that Huang Sen had given him—enough to fill a small truck.

He went to the camp first to pick up Ah She and the others.

Then, Xu Feng rode Ah She, with Ah Kun and Xiao Bai in tow.

Along the way, we also experienced the heroic spirit of leading a white horse on the left and holding a falcon on the right, leaping and bounding on a tiger, heading straight for the ancient ruins.

Upon hearing that they would be meeting a great senior from an ancient race who had survived to this day, Ah Kun and Xiao Bai were quite excited.

Xu Feng had given the two beasts a heads-up beforehand, telling them to behave well and actively "lick" their senior.

Perhaps the elder, in a moment of pleasure, will bestow some treasures upon them to aid their growth.

Ah Kun looked bewildered and didn't understand why.

But Little White cleverly nodded, patted its chest, and indicated that everything was on its shoulders.

We arrived at the ruins.

Xu Feng, familiar with the area, led the three men deep into the mountain.

Finally, deep within that enormous mountain, they found Senior Yin, who was resting with his eyes closed.

On the way, Xu Feng was curious as to why this senior was "living in seclusion" here instead of choosing to "roam" the world at will.

However, he obviously wouldn't bring up this question on his own initiative.

Perhaps he'll ask when he gets to know his senior better in the future.

"Senior Yang, I've come to visit you!"

Swish!
As the large eyeball opened, a gust of wind immediately swept through the mountainside.

Xu Feng stood motionless, like a nail, letting the fierce wind whip his face.

Ah Kun and Xiao Bai, who were hiding behind him, clung tightly to Xu Feng's legs, trembling.

Especially Ah Kun.

Its white downy feathers were blown to the sides by the wind, revealing part of its plump, fleshy belly.

The whole thing looked extremely comical.

"Huh? It's actually a young blue phoenix. You're quite lucky to have managed to bring this bird under your command."

When that huge, bright yellow eye opened, Xu Feng was about to bow respectfully.

But suddenly he heard Senior Yin's voice ring in his mind.

"Qingluan?"

Xu Feng turned his head slightly in surprise to look at the "fat chicken" at his feet.

Is this the Azure Phoenix?

The Qingluan, whose cry resembles that of a phoenix, will not perch on anything but the parasol tree, will not eat anything but bamboo seeds, and will not drink anything but sweet spring water. It is a creature of noble character.

Xu Feng thought back for a moment.

Ah Kun's call is, needless to say, a normal chick's call, not unpleasant, but definitely not pleasant.

Ah Kun slept in a tiger's den since he was a child, and ate all kinds of insects on the ground and various small animals that Ah She caught for him.

They drink water from the river, and sometimes they even slip and fall into the river, getting themselves covered in mud.

Is this a blue phoenix?

For the first time, Xu Feng began to wonder if Senior Yin was making things up for him.

Or did the ancients add too many filters to the image of the Azure Phoenix?
However, whether it is a blue phoenix or not is not important.

Xu Feng nudged Ah Kun with her foot.

Ah Kun immediately let out a "chirp chirp," moved his chubby body, flapped his short, downy wings, and bowed to Senior Yin.

Xiao Bai, who was standing to the side, seemed to have recovered from the shock as well.

They bowed and kowtowed to Senior Yin, making "squeaks" as if they were saying something.

"Hehehe, that's quite thoughtful," Senior Yang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Xu Feng, "You taught him, didn't you?"

"Hey! Senior, you're mistaken!" Xu Feng quickly waved his hand to clear his name. "Although these two little ones are a bit slow, they still need to have the proper respect and manners."

After hearing about your remarkable achievements, they greatly admire you, which is why they felt compelled to write this.

"Hahaha!"

Senior Brother Yin suddenly laughed.

Although he didn't make a sound, Xu Feng could still feel the slight tremors in the mountain's belly.

"Alright, then as a senior, shouldn't I give them a little something as a greeting gift?" Senior Yin asked with a smile.

Xu Feng smiled and said, "You're so generous, senior!"

He quickly kicked both beasts, saying, "Quickly thank the senior!"

"Squeak!"

"Chirp!"

The two beasts quickly expressed their gratitude, their flustered and adorable expressions were simply comical.

However comical it may be, the effect is fantastic.

As the two fruits flew to the two beasts, before Xu Feng could even see them clearly, Ah Kun swallowed the fruits into his mouth.

It tilted its head back and swallowed it with a "gulp".

Little White, on the other hand, held the fruit with a look of great interest and sniffed it.

Only then did he chew it up piece by piece and swallow it.

The tender and fragrant fruit made Xu Feng's mouth water, not to mention A-Kun, who swallowed it whole without tasting it.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Seeing Ah Kun sneakily trying to taste Xiao Bai's fruit, Xu Feng kicked him away.

On the contrary, it was Ah She.

Although he did not receive any reward, he remained calm and composed throughout.

She lay there like a lady from a prominent family.

He wrapped his body around Xu Feng and the two beasts, separating them from the deep cliffs inside the mountain.

Seeing that the two beasts had eaten the fruit, Xu Feng then clasped his hands in a salute to Senior Yang.

I didn't even ask the senior what it was for; it was all good stuff anyway.

Enough of the small talk, let's get down to business.

"Senior, I've brought some famous dishes from my hometown with me. I hope you'll enjoy them."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out four large buckets, each weighing a full ton.

"These four famous dishes are braised sea cucumber with scallions, braised pork intestines, braised prawns, and sweet and sour red water carp."

Senior, don't underestimate these four simple dishes.

This sea cucumber alone is a top-grade sea cucumber that I painstakingly transported from Earth by air.

The Nine-Turned Intestines were taken from the bellies of hundreds of wild boars with purple beards.

The process of slaughtering, sourcing, cleaning, and processing alone takes up a lot of time.

In addition, it is paired with large green-scaled shrimp from the Chishui River and extremely rare colorful three-flowered carp.

These four dishes are what make up this famous meal; I hope you enjoy them, senior.

Xu Feng opened the lid of the rice bucket.

The aroma wafted over instantly, filling the entire mountainside.

Xiaobai and Akun seemed completely uninterested in this.

But Ah She raised her head, twitched her nose, and drool dripped from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Xu Feng tossed it a fresh bone so it could grind its teeth.

Then he looked at Senior Yin.

Senior Yin seemed quite expectant: "Good, not bad! Let me have a taste."

With a sudden twist of the air, the food in the bucket sprang to the ground.

As if it had grown wings, it transformed into a "river of delicacies" and flowed into Senior Yin's mouth.

However, when Xu Feng went up to take a look, he found that there were still some residues left at the bottom of the bucket.

He then scooped it out with a spoon and fed it to Ah She.

Seeing Ah She still wanting more, he stuck out his scarlet tongue with barbs and licked his lips.

Xu Feng immediately knew that the taste was definitely good.

Even that clueless idiot Ah She likes to eat, so Senior Yin must like it too.

really.

Senior Yin quickly let out a satisfied sigh.

Then they began to taste the braised pork intestines.

However, I only took one bite.

As another gust of wind howled through the cave, the remaining "intestine river" rolled back in.

"Uh, why does this taste a bit strange?"

Upon hearing Senior Yang's question, Xu Feng immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He forgot one thing.

That's the smell of internal organs.

He only told Huang Sen to retain some of the unique features, and Huang Sen seemed to say something like, "Was it an accident or on purpose?"

Did this guy not clean his intestines properly?
Xu Feng's mind raced, and he quickly explained, "Normally, before making this dish, the pig intestines are thoroughly cleaned and then processed in various ways."

However, during this process, everyone has different requirements regarding the taste of large intestine.

Some people like the smell of organs, while others don't like it at all.

Therefore, this dish has evolved into many different flavors.

This time, in order to maintain its authentic flavor, the younger generation chose to retain some offal flavor.

The strange taste that the older generation mentioned must have come from this.

If you don't like it, then I won't make this dish again.

Senior Brother Yin immediately realized: "I see. It seems I am not worthy of enjoying this dish."

"Never mind, I really don't like the food. Thank you for your help."

Xu Feng quickly replied politely, "Senior, you're too kind. This is something I promised you, so I will naturally do my best to fulfill it. There's no trouble at all."

"Hehe, okay, then I'll try this braised prawns in oil."

About ten minutes later.

Senior Brother Yin finally finished savoring all the food and gave his evaluation.

Its favorite food is actually braised prawns.

"It has been a long time since I have tasted seafood. When I first ate seafood, I was only over four hundred years old."

That was back when we were on the coast of the East China Sea.

Xu Feng sat quietly, listening to Senior Yin recount his "childhood" stories.

Taking this opportunity, he also learned about the ancient appearance of the dimensional world, which was surprisingly prosperous to Xu Feng.

At that time, there were even "humans" in the dimensional world.

However, at that time, "humans" were not called "human race".

Instead, they were called "two-legged beasts" by the other races and possessed extremely powerful "strength".

Xu Feng guessed that the power Senior Yin mentioned must be the advanced technology contained in the ancient artifacts in the ancient ruins.

Human civilization must have been even more prosperous back then than it is now.

"Two hundred years after that, the ancient human race and my demon race fought a great battle, both sides were severely injured, and they went into hiding."
I also fled with my father and ended up on the coast of the East China Sea. When I was extremely hungry, I ate some sea shrimp.

That was the most delicious thing I had ever eaten in my animal life; even now, thinking about it makes my mouth water.

Xu Feng nodded slightly to show his understanding.

The food a person eats when they are extremely hungry will be remembered as a delicious meal for a lifetime.

Just like the fermented noodle soup and pearl, jade, and white jade soup that Old Zhu ate back then.

He will have the chef prepare it after he becomes emperor.

No matter how refreshing or delicious it is, it's hard to recapture that unforgettable taste from back then.

This is due not only to different mindsets, but also to people's memories of the past.

Memories can also enhance the flavor.

What's that line from an old poem?

I wish to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine with you, a youthful outing.

That's probably what it means.

After enjoying the delicious food, we finished reminiscing.

Senior Yang was not stingy and quickly tossed something to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng took a look and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

It's another fruit!
Senior, are you a farmer? You have so many fruits in your hands.

"Please enlighten me, senior, what is the name of this fruit? What is its use?"

Holding the fruit, Xu Feng humbly asked for advice.

Senior Yin said calmly, "This thing is called the Spirit Pill Fruit, a highly nourishing substance."

It can boost your qi and blood, but it's a bit of a chore. It's only really effective for your human warriors; consider it a snack.

Okay, I'm tired. See you next time if there's nothing else.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Yes! Senior, please rest. This junior will take his leave."

As for what his seniors said about how grueling it was, he didn't care at all.

As long as it improves my skills, whether I have to endure the hardship or not doesn't matter.

After leaving the ruins, Xu Feng released the three beasts back into the camp and went straight home.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to take out the fruit.

However, after watching for a while, Xu Feng suppressed his desire and waited for Lu Fei to come home from get off work.

result.

Lu Fei refused to share the fruit with Xu Feng.

"This thing is like taking medicine; it's best to take it according to the dosage."

Have you ever seen anyone take half a pill at a time?

That would have absolutely no medicinal effect. On the contrary, it would be a waste of the medicinal power and essence.

You eat it first. Next time you have the chance, you can ask your senior to help me get one, and then I'll eat it.

After all, your talent is inferior to mine, and you need drugs more than I do.

After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Xu Feng knew that this girl was saying this on purpose because she wanted what was best for him.

But he didn't care either.

Just as Lu Fei said, we can ask our seniors for it next time.

So, right in front of Lu Fei, he quickly ate the fruit in a few bites.

They didn't even leave the fruit pits behind, chewing them up in a few bites and swallowing them all.

The fruit has a sweet and refreshing taste, just like a pear. Although it is only the size of a fist, it is not difficult to eat.

After swallowing it, Xu Feng carefully examined it but felt nothing.

It's practically the same as not eating at all.

So he practiced breathing techniques in the martial arts room while waiting for the medicine to take effect.

really.

About twenty minutes later, Xu Feng finally felt a burning sensation in his abdomen.

It felt like swallowing a freshly cooked hot sweet potato.

It even made him feel a burning sensation in his abdomen.

Soon, the burning sensation spread from my abdomen to every part of my body.

Xu Feng felt like a shrimp that had been thrown into a frying pan.

Like something gradually being cooked and deep-fried over a raging fire until it turned bright red.

Soon, another excruciating burning sensation suddenly rose from his dantian and spread to his limbs and bones.

"Hiss—" Xu Feng took a deep breath and immediately sat down against the wall.

It only took two minutes.

Xu Feng was drenched in sweat, his clothes completely soaked, as if he had just swum a lap.

He could feel that every cell in his body was like a parched land receiving rain, frantically absorbing the rich vitality and energy contained in the elixir fruit.

"boom!"

At one point, unable to bear it any longer, Xu Feng suddenly slammed his fist into the ground, trying to relieve the pain.

"Boom!"

As soon as Lu Fei pushed open the door to the martial arts room, she saw Xu Feng slamming his back against the wall.

The entire villa shook violently, as if it had been struck by an earthquake.

Startled, Lu Fei rushed to Xu Feng and grabbed him, asking, "Xu Feng, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"

Xu Feng, enduring the pain, gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "I'm fine!"

Seeing the panic on Lu Fei's face, he gently rubbed her head.

Even though his face was pale and his muscles were trembling, he still forced himself to sit on the ground and said with a forced smile, "See, it's nothing serious."

You don't need to worry about it, go ahead and do your thing.

However, Lu Fei held his hand tightly: "I, I'll stay with you! I should have known better than to let you eat it! The side effects of this fruit are—"

Xu Feng waved his hand.

He then took a deep breath, opened his mouth abruptly, and clenched his fists.

With all his muscles tense, he silently roared at the ground.

then.

He then slowly relaxed his fists and staggered to his feet.

"It's okay, even knowing the side effects are so severe, I'll still take it."

He braced himself on his knees with both hands, took a couple of breaths, and then gradually stood up straight.

"I can't not eat."

Xu Feng chuckled softly, but the intense pain made him clench his fists again.

"I'm not a genius, nor am I a second-generation martial artist. It's already an incredible stroke of luck that I've obtained these resources."

As he spoke, Xu Feng slowly assumed a fighting stance and began to practice the dynamic fist techniques of the Three Pure Ones Boundless Method.

"I wasted too much time in the past."

If you want to make up for it, enduring hardship is the right thing to do.

call!
Xu Feng unleashed a powerful punch.

It was as if he was venting all the pain in his body through each punch.

His movements were distorted by the pain, but he showed no sign of stopping.

He kept throwing punches, his feet constantly shifting and turning as if it were an instinct.

“Wife, you are a genius. You can’t understand the despair and fear I felt when I was hiding in a shantytown house, looking at that dilapidated ceiling.”

"That feeling of being weak and helpless, only able to hope for protection from others."

Even the most frequent midnight nightmares can wake me up with a start, my legs trembling with fear.

"This world is dangerous and insane."

Mutant creatures, alien races, and inhuman martial artists.

You haven't experienced my ordinary life, so you can't understand how much of an impact the world has had on me.

So, as long as I can become stronger, what does this little bit of pain matter?!

boom!
Xu Feng threw a punch with a determined look on his face.

The air in front of me was suddenly compressed and torn apart.

A loud explosion erupted!
Just like his roar!
Lu Fei looked at Xu Feng's expression with a slight shock, never having felt so strange before.

At this moment, Xu Feng revealed a ruthless side he had never shown before.

Rumble, rumble——

With each punch thrown out.

The sound of waves gradually appeared in Xu Feng's ears.

He listened carefully for a long time before realizing that the violent sound of the waves was actually coming from inside his body.

That was the roar of surging blood!
That was the roar of surging blood and qi!
"Bang-bang-bang-"

Accompanied by the stretching of his fists and feet.

Xu Feng's entire body erupted with a series of crisp crackling sounds, as if all the muscles and bones in his body were making a sound.

The roar of tigers and leopards is thunderous, their muscles and bones resounding!
"Whoosh—hiss—"

"Woo-"

soon.

Only a long, drawn-out breathing sound remained in the martial arts room, mixed with the sound of fists slicing through the air like tiger roars.

Lu Fei slowly left the martial arts room, closed the door, and was filled with emotion.

A moment later, she clenched her fists, turned around, and went up to the rooftop.

She is about to begin her own cultivation.

Hsu Feng's hard work was incredibly impactful for her.

She even had a feeling.

If I don't work harder, I'll fall behind Xu Feng!
Lu Fei felt a rare sense of anxiety deep inside.

Time flies in the martial arts room.

Two hours later.

When Xu Feng came to his senses, he felt a wave of exhaustion.

He was about to go out to find some food and water when he noticed a plate of braised meat and vegetables and a large glass of energy drink on the table next to him.

Xu Feng smiled, knowing that this was naturally prepared for him by Lu Fei.

Feeling a warmth in his heart, Xu Feng disregarded everything else, rushed to the table, grabbed the food on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

After wolfing down his food and drinking most of a glass of water, he finally recovered and sat down on the ground to rest.

"panel!"

Name: Xu Feng

[Qi and Blood Value: 6355c]

Hey!
Compared to before he took the elixir, his Qi and blood value increased by about 550 points.

These two short hours saved him nearly a month of arduous training.

If only I could have one of these every day.
Forget it, it's too painful.

Hsu Feng felt he might break down.

It would really break down.

Moreover, this kind of fantasy is completely unrealistic.

Such a precious fruit, one of which is equivalent to dozens of doses of the 2.0 version of gene serum.

Moreover, it can be absorbed overnight.

It's so much more effective than that gene serum.

Moreover, Xu Feng could feel that some of the medicinal effects still remained in his body.

It will probably take another three to five days to fully absorb it.

How could one possibly eat such treasures every day? That's just a dream.

He wasn't a fantasist.

Being able to eat it once every three months is enough to make him feel satisfied.

After resting for a while, Xu Feng got up and took a shower.

Only then did they go up to the rooftop.

When he saw Lu Fei concentrating on her cultivation, he did not disturb her.

He went back inside and took the initiative to supervise Xiaodan as she did her homework.

After the child finished her homework, Xu Feng took Xiao Dan to the martial arts room to start training.

It begins with basic stance training to cultivate qi and blood.

Then comes spiritual cultivation.

By the time the entire process was completed, it was nearly 10:30 p.m.

Xu Feng quickly urged Xiao Dan to wash up and get into bed before closing the door and returning to the rooftop.

"Is the child asleep?" Lu Fei asked with a smile while taking a break.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep. You should rest too."

Xu Feng handed a plate of food to Lu Fei.

While eating, Lu Fei asked with concern, "Are you feeling better? I was so scared to see you in so much pain."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "It was alright, it did hurt at the time."

But once that initial burst of energy subsided, it actually felt quite refreshing.

Do you think I'm a masochist?

Lu Fei's pretty face flushed slightly, whether from the heat or from being amused by Xu Feng's words, it was hard to tell.

Taking a rare moment of relaxation, the two leaned against each other, gazing at the dark night sky above and chatting idly.

From interesting stories of the past to visions of the future.

The couple felt they hadn't had such a relaxed and open conversation in a long time.

Silent all night.

When Meimei woke up the next morning, Xu Feng's Qi and Blood value had actually increased by 20 points.

"It feels so good! It hurts, but it really feels great."

He couldn't help but laugh.

After getting up and looking around, I saw that Lu Fei and Xiao Dan had already gone to school.

Xu Feng then made himself breakfast.

He then took the extra combat vest and found Huang Feifeng.

Huang Feifeng didn't waste any words when Xu Feng brought him the brand-new second-hand combat suit.

They directly replaced Xu Feng's outfit with a brand new women's S-class combat vest, and even left over 2 million.

After all, military equipment is a level above commercial equipment.

Therefore, even with the discount, it is still more expensive than the best Divine Guardian series combat suit in the store.

Lu Fei was naturally very happy to receive the gift.

She only needs the pants and helmet to complete her S-class combat suit.

For the next few days, Xu Feng stayed at home and focused on his cultivation.

But to my surprise, after only two days at home, someone came to my door.

"crunch-"

Xu Feng opened the door with a blank expression.

But the four people outside the door were all strangers.

Only Old Chen, who was standing at the door, looked at him with a smile: "Mr. Xu, look, we just happened to be passing by here."

These four are new engineers. They've all heard of your reputation and are clamoring to come and pay their respects to you.

I brought you some things, nothing valuable, please accept them.

As they spoke, the four people quickly placed the gifts they were carrying in front of Xu Feng's house.
He then politely clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Xu Feng, saying "Hello, Engineer Xu," before awkwardly stepping aside.

Xu Feng was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on, and quickly invited everyone to come inside and sit down.

But to their surprise, Old Chen simply waved his hand and said they were just passing by.

So he left with the four of them.

After the others left, Xu Feng took the items inside to take a look.

Only then did they realize that these people were carrying gift boxes of dried meat of the Beast General level.

The exquisite packaging suggests it's not cheap.

"Is this person here to pay homage to me?" Xu Feng was immediately at a loss for words.

Looking back at their stiff demeanor, it seems they were probably giving gifts for the first time.

It's hard to believe that these engineers, who are science majors, would go to such lengths to curry favor and give gifts.

Xu Feng was somewhat moved.

Back when I was working at the company, almost none of my colleagues had this habit.

As for those who flatter and fawn, everyone scoffs at them.

Perhaps this kind of thing is less common only in pure technology companies.

Of course, it's also possible that Xu Feng's level is not high enough, and he has never experienced these things.

After all, he was just an ordinary communications engineer, whose salary increased twice a year.

There's really nothing that requires giving gifts to the boss.

His boss was an extremely straight man with shockingly low emotional intelligence.

Although he was a technical expert, he was secretly criticized by everyone in the group.

"It really takes some getting used to," Xu Feng said with a smile, shaking his head.

In fact, he really hates this kind of flattery and bootlicking.

But in reality, we have no choice but to go through these things.

Ugh.

Often, the capable people don't get promoted, while the people who do get promoted lack the ability.

Or, to put it another way, those who get promoted don't have the ability to do their jobs; they take crooked paths.

However, one is bound to be obligated to those who offer food or gifts.

They've already given us gifts, so we can just take care of them a little more in the future.

And so, after a few more days of peaceful cultivation at home.

As the appointed time approached, Xu Feng excitedly rushed to the outside of the martial arts hall to wait for his master's arrival.

However, he was somewhat disappointed.

The master had something come up and couldn't make it, so the two agreed to meet again next time.

The next day.

Xu Feng had just returned to his workplace and was about to talk to Lao Chen about the gift-giving incident that day.

Then suddenly I received an urgent task.

Liu Charlie strode into the office, his face pale, and said loudly:
"Base 12 is facing a beast tide, and the situation is critical!"
The engineering department needs three teams to provide technical support.

Old Xu, Old Chen, you two lead the team on this trip!
Groups 1, 2, and 3, pack your things and get ready to go! Quickly!

Swish!
Everyone in the office immediately stood up.

Everyone, including Xu Feng, looked at Liu Charlie with serious expressions.

Beast Tide!

It's been a long time since we've seen a beast tide!
Not only ordinary engineers, but even Xu Feng got goosebumps all over his body.

It felt like going back to those days when we were besieged by the beast tide.
