The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Chen Feng: "Give me two minutes, I want to discuss this with my friend."

The boy nodded: "Okay."

The boy sat on a block of cement.

He casually picked up a pebble and deftly flipped it between his fingers.

Chen Feng turned around and waved to Li Yuanguang and Sun Miao.

The group quickly gathered together, forming a tight little circle.

A surge of spiritual energy temporarily isolated this small world.

Chen Feng lowered his voice: "You can ask three questions."

"This may be our fastest chance to learn the truth."

"So I'd like to hear everyone's opinions."

Sun Miao rubbed his aching chest: "Captain, I think this kid's identity is the most suspicious."

"I suspect he might not be from Earth, but from outer space, where other life truly exists."

"Ask him where he came from, and whether the apocalypse was their doing."

Sun Miao spoke quickly, carefully observing the boy's movements not far away as he spoke.

Yu Wei shook his head: "So what if we know their background? They'll still come if they're not going to. I think your questions are completely meaningless."

"I want to know just how strong their strongest person is, and how many people came this time."

"Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to a better response."

Liu Chao clenched his fists: "I want to know, what is their purpose? What exactly do they want to do here?"

"These people couldn't have just come here to wander around; they must have come with some purpose."

"If a battle really breaks out, we will be the ones who suffer. What we lack most right now is time. If a battle can be avoided, I think it is necessary to maneuver."

Li Yuanguang nodded and glanced at Liu Chao: "My thoughts are similar to Liu Chao's."

"The universe is so vast, are they the same group? If so, why are they targeting this area?"

"I don't believe in coincidences. There must be a reason why they have to come here."

Wu Ziming: "Agreed. What is his purpose in approaching us?"

"Finding out his intentions in approaching us is more important than anything else."

Jin Feihong thought for a moment and said, "I want to know how these chosen ones are cultivated, and what price is required?"

"The most terrifying thing is that if the cost of rapidly cultivating so many favored individuals is minimal!"

Chen Feng listened quietly, repeatedly analyzing the scenario in his mind.

Sun Miao's problem is too big; the boy might just give a vague answer to gloss over it.

Yu Wei's question is too easy to expose the true strength and weakness of our side, and will make the other side realize the bottom line of the Dragon Kingdom's combat power.

The only issue that Jin Feihong raised, concerning the cost, directly touched upon the core of the war.

If these chosen ones are merely cannon fodder casually created by some advanced civilization, then the entire defense plan must be scrapped and rebuilt.

He took a deep breath. Three questions—what to ask and how to ask them—were all matters of skill.

Beside him, the boy had already begun urging them on.

"Are you going to ask or not? If not, I'm going to sleep."

Chen Feng turned around and strode towards the boy who was playing with the stone.

The boy's toes dangled in the air, the soles of his shoes scraping against the dust on the cement blocks.

Chen Feng stopped three meters away from the boy.

"The first question."

"I want to know, what kind of price must be paid to cultivate these so-called chosen ones?"

The boy stopped what he was doing, and the pebble rested steadily on his fingertip.

He tilted his head, his gaze lingering on Chen Feng's face for a moment.

"A very practical problem."

"Does the appearance of these chosen ones really give you such a headache?"

The boy jumped off the cement block and dusted off his pants.

He took two steps forward, a cryptic smile on his face.

"However, my answer will probably disappoint you."

"The cost of cultivating this kind of garbage is very small; in fact, the word 'cost' is an overstatement when applied to them."

Chen Feng clenched his fist subconsciously, and his knuckles cracked.

The answer was worse than the worst-case scenario he had anticipated.

"What! Training such a powerful individual doesn't require any cost?"

Sun Miao feigned disbelief, hoping to elicit an answer for free.

In such situations, one should reveal their ignorance in order to elevate the other party.

In such situations, the other party will usually respond generously.

The boy suddenly stopped and stared intently at Sun Miao.

His clear eyes reflected Sun Miao's comical movements.

A moment later, the boy smiled and then rolled his eyes at him.

"You don't need to pretend to be stupid; I know you're not that kind of person."

Sun Miao remained unmoved: "What do you mean by 'pretending'? What did I pretend to be?"

The boy shook his head with a half-smile.

"You didn't say it yourself, but you did it."

"From the very beginning, your jokes about me, your attack on me just now, and your questioning of Chen Feng—all of these things are attempts to deliberately portray you as a brute in my eyes."

The boy slightly curled the corners of his lips: "But I know you're not that kind of person."

In a team that works so well together, it's impossible for any members to have vastly different understandings.

So there's only one possibility: this guy started scheming the moment he saw me.

The boy leaned forward slightly and suddenly chuckled softly.

"On the contrary, I like you all very much."

"I'm really curious, how do you two have such great chemistry?"

"A single glance, without even any communication, is enough to understand what the other person is thinking."

"Have you known each other since childhood? Or is this some kind of soul resonance that I haven't yet discovered?"

Sun Miao's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his outstretched arms slowly drooped down.

He rubbed his nose, and his previous loud and boisterous manner vanished instantly.

Instead, a profound silence prevailed.

Looking at the boy, Chen Feng's perception of the guy's danger level rose another notch.

The opponent not only possesses overwhelming power, but also has an extremely strong insight into human psychology and behavioral logic.

The boy waved his hand.

"Don't be so nervous. I told you, I don't dislike what you did."

"It's normal that you don't trust me after all."

As the boy spoke, he stopped in front of Chen Feng.

He was a little shorter than Chen Feng, and at this moment he tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on Chen Feng's collar.

"And I can also give you an extra perk."

As he spoke, the boy looked at Chen Feng.

"Just tell me what this 'combat power' you're talking about is all about, and I'll tell you why those chosen by the gods suddenly transform from ordinary people into extraordinary beings."

He paused for a moment, his tone becoming somewhat playful.

"The most important point is that this answer doesn't count towards those three questions, so how about that? You guys didn't lose out on this deal, did you?"

Chen Feng did not answer immediately.

He quickly analyzed the pros and cons of the proposal in his mind.

Combat power ratings and rankings are not top secret information in the Dragon Kingdom.

As long as this young man enters the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, he can easily get the answer by asking anyone.

He doesn't know now simply because he hasn't been to the Dragon Kingdom yet.

Use semi-public information to exchange for news about those favored by God.

This deal is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
