Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Chapter 290 Settling Down

"I do want to cultivate in the city for a while. After encountering various dangers in the forest this time, I feel that my strength is still insufficient," Jiang Chen said.

"Hmph, you've only just entered the Star-level realm, and you dare to run around in this Dark Forest all by yourself? You're lucky you're still alive." Teacher Pang next to him sneered.

The silver-haired girl, Kona, said, "Brother Chen, it's a good thing that you're staying in the city to cultivate. By the way..."

Brother Chen, just how strong have you become?

"I've just entered the mid-stage of the Star Realm," Jiang Chen said. "It's just that I suffered a minor injury, and my strength hasn't fully recovered yet."

"I believe that within a year or two, once the injury is fully healed, I will be able to recover to the mid-star level."

Entering the mid-stage of a star system, which is equivalent to the fourth or fifth level of a typical star system in the universe.

"Hmm? Just entered the intermediate level of star-level, isn't that about the same as me?" Teacher Pang next to me frowned, somewhat surprised.

He himself is only at the mid-stage of the Star Realm (Level 5 of the Eternal Star Realm), but because he considers himself a mentalist and has rich combat experience, he is stronger than the average mid-stage Star Realm cultivator and can fight against late-stage Star Realm cultivators (Levels 7 and 8 of the Eternal Star Realm).

"Okay." The silver-haired girl, Kona, showed a happy expression. "You have the strength of a mid-stage star level, so I'm sure I can persuade my father and my older brother. In that case, Brother Chen, why don't you take on a sinecure as a 'mentor' in my Kona family?"

"The position of mentor is a sinecure, with no dangerous missions. Only core members of the Kou family are qualified to ask you for guidance. With this status, Brother Chen's situation in Junshan City will be different, and he will receive some benefits from time to time."

"They are even qualified to enter the 'Library' to select a cultivation manual, and to view some of my Kou family's basic common secret manuals."

"If you, Brother Chen, are willing, you can earn some merit and gain even more benefits in return."

A library? Some basic secret manuals, some special classics?

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. He didn't care about any secret manuals; it was just a small family with only a Hengxing-level butler.

The strongest in the family is only at the cosmic level, so what kind of good secret manuals could they possibly have hidden?

He is a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, one of the five major powers in the universe, and he can find all kinds of books in the treasure vault.

Of course, there are many precious secret manuals that he can see but cannot touch.

However, the secret manuals he could exchange for were probably considered as earth-shattering secrets by them.

However, he was quite interested in some books introducing the world and some basic information.

"Do you know of any cultivation manuals that lead to the Heavenly level?" Jiang Chen asked.

I need to find a reason; I can't just go there immediately whenever she mentions it, that would be too deliberate.

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired Kouna raised her head, smiled smugly, and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons: "Cultivation manuals that can be used to reach the Heavenly level are extremely rare. However, our Kouna clan in Peak Rock City still has quite a few in our collection."

"Then I, Jiang Chen, will have to take the liberty," Jiang Chen said gratefully. "Thank you, Miss."

"Hmph, don't be too happy yet. Not everyone is qualified to be an instructor," Butler Pang said calmly. "It still requires the master's and young master's approval."

Koona confidently replied, "Don't worry, Father and my elder brother will agree."

Butler Pang was quite helpless when he saw this.

Jiang Chen smiled.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Jiang Chen could sense that Miss Kou was genuinely kind-hearted, liked to do good deeds, was very warm-hearted, and was also incredibly naive.

No wonder, the butler Pang had specifically come into the room earlier to remind him not to deceive Miss Kou.

"Miss Kona is indeed kind-hearted, and she has always wanted to help me, which can be considered as helping me integrate into Viska Star as soon as possible. I can help her if I have the chance," Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Anyway, I plan to stay in Peak Rock City for a while. After all, as long as it's a safe place, no matter where in this world I am, I can find some basic information before taking any action.

This is a dangerous mission. If you accidentally provoke an immortal or a large group of realm lords, you'll be in trouble. You have to be careful.

"arrive."

"We've arrived at Fengyan Main City."

Suddenly, cheers erupted on the spaceship.

Miss Kou, Butler Pang, a group of students, staff members, and servants all stood on the spaceship, their faces beaming with joy.

After all, they dared not be careless or relaxed while traveling through the forest. Every minute they were out of danger meant they were not safe and could be attacked.

"Fengyan Castle."

Jiang Chen also looked into the distance. It was a huge city, but it wasn't as vast and terrifying as the cities in the universe.

Even so, according to Jiang Chen's estimation, Fengyan City covers an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles.

After all, this is a special planet in the secret realm of the universe, and the soil and gravel on this planet are ridiculously heavy.

Building such a city would be no less difficult than directly transforming an entire ordinary planet in space.

In the main city of Fengyan, there are several major families, one of which is the Kou family.

The head of the Kou family is said to be a mid-stage Heavenly Realm expert.

After all, the strongest person in the main city of Fengyan is only a domain-level expert (domain lord), while a mid-stage Heaven-level expert (universe-level fifth or sixth rank) is definitely the top-tier force besides the city lord's forces.

On the day of arrival in Peak Rock City, in a hall of the Kou family mansion.

Inside this magnificently decorated hall, Jiang Chen met the eldest son of the Kou family, who was also the family's recognized next heir—Kou Tianlei.

"Sister, is this the wilderness hunter you praised in the forest?" A tall man sat there.

His eyes held a hint of lightning, exuding a powerful aura.

"A star level, to possess such power is truly extraordinary; it must have a domain," Jiang Chen thought to himself. "Those who live in the secret realms of the universe are truly blessed."

"Greetings, Young Master Kou," Jiang Chen said, bowing slightly.

"They say the wilderness hunters are fearless and arrogant, and it's true." Kou Tianlei chuckled upon seeing this.

"But that makes sense. After all, they're all tough guys who've fought their way up. Being a wilderness hunter isn't a good profession."

Sitting to the side, Kona said, "Everyone says that it's very difficult for Wilderness Hunters to cultivate in our world, but Chen Jiang has already reached the mid-stage of the Star Realm, which is already quite remarkable."

Kou Tianlei nodded slightly: "Yes, it is indeed rare."

"Since my sister has spoken, Mr. Chen, you will serve as an instructor at my Kou family mansion from now on. I will also arrange accommodation for you in the city."

"Thank you, young master," Jiang Chen said with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

Jiang Chen hadn't expected it to be so simple.

Upon meeting the eldest son of the Kou family, Jiang Chen only exchanged a few words; the conversation was mostly between Kou Na and Kou Tianlei, the brother and sister.

After that, I was settled in and left.

The young master Kou Tianlei was clearly more interested in chatting with his sister about the "trip" and paid little attention to Jiang Chen.

It's probably not even his sister; he might not even agree to let Jiang Chen stay.
