Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 12 Fire Hammer Squad, Assemble

On the afternoon of September 2.

The addition of new members brought the Firehammer Squad together at the HR Alliance Mall.

Because Luo Shen, Luo Feng, and Chen Gu were all in the Mingyue residential area of ​​Yangzhou City, while Gao Feng and the Wei brothers were in the Wuzhe residential area in the main urban area, when Gao Feng and the other two arrived at the HR Alliance Mall, Luo Shen and the other two were still on their way.

"Captain, we finally managed to get all of us promoted to the Warrior level. Suddenly sending in a newbie is just slowing us down, isn't it?" It was Wei Qing who spoke.

Wei Tie, standing to the side, remained expressionless, clearly agreeing with Wei Qing's statement.

Gao Feng picked up the cocktail on the table, took a sip, and then put it down.

He glanced at the two of them and reassured them, "Don't complain so much. I spoke with Luo Feng on the phone. He's Luo Feng's junior brother, and his talent is quite good. In addition, Manager Zhuge personally called to ask us to take care of him. He'll be going to the global headquarters for special training in two months."

Wei Qing was still somewhat displeased: "Isn't that just making us study with the Crown Prince?"

He didn't mean any harm.

However, in order to cooperate with Luo Feng, they all spent a lot of money to buy gene serums to improve their strength, hoping to make a name for themselves. But before they could even start, a newcomer was shoved into their fold.

It takes time for new people to get used to each other.

Once they've gelled together, Luo Feng might have even better opportunities for advancement.

Gao Feng also sighed and shook his head. Who could argue with that? Wei Qing and the others' gene serums were purchased through his connections. He was the one who most wanted the Fire Hammer Squad to have a better future.

"Let's talk about it when we meet."

We haven't seen them yet, so we need to find out more about them before making any decisions.

"Captain, Qing-ge, Tie-ge!"

Wei Qing was about to say something when a familiar, cheerful voice came from behind him. Turning around, he saw Luo Feng leading Luo Shen and Chen Gu into the room, greeting the three of them with a smile.

"Luo Feng." Wei Qing stood up, a smile appearing on his face.

Gao Feng and Wei Tie, who hadn't spoken until now, also stood up to greet him. When Luo Feng got closer, they punched him hard on the shoulder and laughed, "You 'madman,' you've been causing quite a stir lately."

Although they were aware that Luo Feng had gone out to practice his knife skills in the wilderness, they did not expect that he would cause such a big commotion in such a short time.

Fortunately, they knew Luo Feng quite well and were aware of the power of mental cultivators in hunting monsters.

So we didn't discuss this matter much.

Luo Feng then took the opportunity to introduce Luo Shen to his three teammates whom he had not yet met.

Introduction is one thing.

But Luo Shen clearly sensed that his three teammates weren't treating him with the same enthusiasm they had shown Luo Feng.

Of course, that's normal.

After all, it's not as simple as just saying the word when a newcomer joins the team.

However, Luo Shen was not in a hurry to explain.

Nothing is more convincing than a real-world demonstration.

Luo Feng, standing to the side, naturally noticed the unusual behavior of his teammates. He was equally aware of it, after all, he had gone through the same process and had gradually integrated into the team after being tested by them.

His thoughts were the same as Luo Shen's.

Once they enter the wilderness and witness Luo Shen's prowess, their opinion will naturally change.

A martial artist, of course, still has to rely on their own strength to speak for themselves!

After finishing lunch, I asked the waiter to remove the food and then ordered some tea.

Team leader Gao Feng spoke first: "Old Chen and the Wei Qing and Wei Tie brothers should have basically mastered their own strength. In my opinion, we should take another trip into the wilderness area before the end of the year."

"Does anyone have any opinions?" Gao Feng asked, looking at the crowd.

They were mainly looking at Luo Feng.

After all, Luo Feng is currently the strongest member of the Fire Hammer Squad, so they have to take his attitude into consideration.

Luo Feng then looked at Luo Shen beside him, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's set off the day after tomorrow. Luo Shen's weapons and equipment haven't arrived yet, but it should be ready by tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the Fire Hammer Squad all looked at Luo Shen, who hadn't said much.

"I have no objection, Captain, Senior Brother, you can decide." Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Luo Shen smiled.

Luo Feng nodded.

He then looked at Gao Feng and the others, and asked, "Captain, where are we going this time?"

Gao Feng glanced at Luo Shen with some apprehension.

If it weren't for Luo Shen, he would probably have considered the city center, since the strength of everyone in their team had improved significantly, with even the weakest possessing the strength of a warrior general, so they naturally couldn't go to those small county towns anymore.

If you want to make money, you naturally have to go to the big city area.

In the greater urban area, the number of monsters has surged, making it easy to encounter large monsters; one special Beast General-level monster can be worth several of them!

But now that Luo Shen is around, he has to take Luo Shen's existence into account.

There are many examples of how one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.

Noticing Gao Feng's gaze, Luo Feng laughed and said, "Captain, don't underestimate Ah Shen just because he's a new martial artist. He's quite strong, and he can even fight against beast general-level monsters."

"Oh?" Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, Gao Feng and the others' expressions changed slightly.

It's not that they don't believe in Luo Feng.

But how strong can a newcomer who has just become a formal martial artist be, even if he has some strength?

With Luo Feng's strong support, Luo Shen naturally couldn't stay out of the loop any longer, so he decided to express his opinion, saying, "Since our team is so strong, let's just go straight to City 003 this time!"

Since they had originally planned to go to City 003 anyway, Luo Shen simply went ahead and implemented the plan.

Hearing Luo Shen's words, even Luo Feng was startled.

City 003 was originally the economic center of China, known as the "Magic City." Because it is located near the ocean and connected by the Huangpu River, a large number of sea monsters would pour in along the river. In addition, with the most numerous building complexes in all of Asia, it has become a paradise for monsters.

Not to mention Lord-level monsters, there are even monsters that surpass Lord-level!

"Scared?" Luo Shen grinned when he saw everyone's astonished expressions.

Captain Gao Feng gave Luo Shen a deep look.

Whether the other party is genuinely capable or just putting on a brave face, the moment Luo Shen uttered the name of City 003, they all had to change their opinion of this "audacious" newcomer.

Of course, whether this change in attitude elicits amazement or disdain remains to be seen, depending on Luo Shen's subsequent actions.

"What do you think, Luo Feng?" Gao Feng looked at Luo Feng.

He decided to leave the decision to Luo Feng, since Luo Feng was the top combatant within the unit and Luo Shen's senior brother. He was also the most knowledgeable about Luo Shen's strength and would likely make the best judgment.

"That works too." Luo Feng thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

However, he glanced at his teammates and said, "Ah Shen is still a newcomer after all. Although he has some skills, he lacks experience. We still have to start from the suburbs and take it slow."

Gao Feng was still somewhat incredulous when he saw that Luo Feng had actually agreed.

But he didn't show it, he just smiled and said, "Alright, this time let's set our target as the outskirts of City 003 and advance slowly. Speaking of which, City 003 is where the top martial artists are found."

The group finally agreed to meet and depart early the day after tomorrow.

Target: City 003!

***************

I'll make up for it tomorrow at midnight.
