Chapter 8 You, a newbie, bought over 1 million worth of equipment?
"If you pass, you're a brother. If you don't, even the most talented person has to be kicked out."
Luo Feng was not offended by those words.
The Fire Hammer Squad is a life-or-death squad, not a martial arts school or classroom.
His teammates were entrusting their backs to him, so of course he had to prove himself.
"it is good."
Chen Gu nodded in satisfaction.
"And the equipment. Have you bought it yet?"
Luo Feng said, "I bought it."
"Good that you bought it." Chen Gu said casually, "Let me check later, don't buy it too cheaply. Newcomers are the most reluctant to spend money, and they dare to run into the wilderness wearing shabby clothes."
Before Luo Feng could speak, Zhou Yan was already laughing in his mind.
"He will soon discover that the client is not unwilling to spend money, but rather too willing to spend it."
……
a few days later.
Mingyue Residential Area, Luo Feng's private garden.
Chen Gu and Zhang Ke came to pick up Luo Feng.
When they arrived, Luo Feng was organizing his equipment.
The D6 combat suit fit snugly against the body, its black surface gleaming with a calm, cold light.
The A6 Blood Shadow Blade was carried on his back.
The B6 series shield is fixed to the outside of the backpack.
Nine six-element throwing knives were hidden in the side of the legs and in the hidden grooves of the arm guards.
The three seventh-series throwing knives were individually sealed in close-fitting positions.
A communication watch, a first-aid kit, and a high-strength backpack—everything was included.
Chen Gu was about to make a joke.
But after seeing Luo Feng's gear, he stopped talking.
Zhang Ke was also taken aback.
"Luo Feng".
Chen Gu stared at his combat uniform.
"You...D6?"
Luo Feng nodded.
"Um."
Chen Gu then looked at the Blood Shadow Battle Blade.
"A6?"
"Um."
"Are shields also part of the 6-series?"
"B6".
Chen Gu took a breath.
The garden fell silent for a moment.
Chen Gu looked at Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke looked at Chen Gu.
Both experienced martial artists fell silent.
After a long while, Chen Gu finally managed to utter a sentence.
"Is this your first time in the wilderness?"
Luo Feng nodded.
Chen Gu's lips twitched.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to hunt down a high-level beast general-level monster."
Zhang Ke circled Luo Feng and looked him over, then couldn't help but say, "His equipment is more luxurious than that of many warriors at the general level."
Luo Feng said, "The better the equipment, the higher the chances of survival."
That's one way of putting it.
Chen Gu looked at him with a complicated expression.
"But this isn't just a little better, it's that you completely smashed through the newbie equipment area."
Zhou Yan commented in his mind.
"The initial shockwave from the equipment has been completed. Customer market valuations continue to rise."
Luo Feng did not respond.
Chen Gu quickly came to his senses and burst into laughter.
"Alright! Money should be spent like this. Let's go to the HR Alliance Mall and meet up with the captain and the others."
……
HR Alliance Mall.
An 88-story building stands tall in the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City, with a huge HR logo on its exterior wall that is extremely eye-catching in the sunlight.
The Firehammer Squad's vehicle pulled up.
Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and Zhang Ke got out of the car and entered the hall.
The luxury here is different from that of Mingyue Residential Area.
Mingyue Residential Area is a residential area for martial artists; it is quiet and stable.
HR Alliance Mall, on the other hand, is like putting the world's top financial resources right in front of you.
Smooth, clean surface.
Soft music.
Well-trained service personnel.
There were also fully armed martial artists coming and going.
Chen Gu led Luo Feng to sit down in the rest area.
As soon as Zhang Ke sat down, he couldn't help but look at Luo Feng's equipment.
"Hey Luo Feng, this whole set of yours, at full price, must be worth hundreds of millions, right?"
Luo Feng didn't do the math.
Zhou Yan immediately reported the number.
[Current equipment valuation: approximately 2.2 million Chinese Yuan.]
[Note: Equipment is considered a liability asset and is not included in loan repayments.]
Luo Feng said, "More or less."
Chen Gu laughed and scolded.
"Almost? You're really talking big, kid."
Just then, a clear and gentle voice rang out from the direction of the bar.
Luo Feng paused slightly.
He turned his head to look.
Inside the bar, a young woman in business attire was handing over duties to the previous shift manager.
His features were familiar.
However, she exudes a more composed demeanor than she did in high school.
Xu Xin.
Luo Feng was taken aback.
Zhou Yan's voice suddenly rang out.
"An abnormal heart rate was detected in the customer."
Luo Feng thought to himself, "Shut up."
"This system is not an emotional loan system, but we can add a friendly note: This person can influence your mindset more than Zhang Zehu."
Luo Feng ignored him and got up to walk towards the bar.
"Xu Xin".
The girl inside the bar looked up.
Their eyes met.
Xu Xin was taken aback at first, then her face lit up with surprise.
"Luo Feng?"
She looked at Luo Feng's combat uniform and sword with disbelief in her eyes.
"You're already a martial artist?"
"Um."
Luo Feng smiled.
"Head to the wilderness area immediately."
Xu Xin's expression changed slightly.
For the people in the base city, the words "wilderness area" are almost synonymous with danger and death.
She looked at Luo Feng, her voice softening.
"Then you must be careful."
Luo Feng nodded.
"Yes."
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
The words I didn't say in high school are like words shrouded in a thin mist.
Not far away, Chen Gu and Zhang Ke exchanged a glance.
Chen Gu lowered his voice and chuckled, "That's what youth is all about."
Zhang Ke also smiled.
Zhou Yan coughed softly in Luo Feng's mind.
"Client, please refrain from significant emotional fluctuations in front of the wilderness area."
Luo Feng: "..."
At this moment, Chen Gu shouted, "Luo Feng, the captain is here."
Luo Feng turned around.
Three martial artists walked over.
Two men with similar appearances carried curved swords and shields on their backs, exuding a cold and sharp aura.
The other was burly, carrying two large hammers on his back, his steps heavy as iron.
Chen Gu introduced, "These two are the Twin Crescent Blades, Wei Tie and Wei Qing."
"This is Gao Feng, the captain of our Firehammer Squad."
Luo Feng greeted them one by one.
Wei Tie and Wei Qing initially had indifferent expressions.
When they saw Luo Feng's D6 combat suit, A6 battle knife, and the hidden slots for throwing knives, their eyes changed.
Gao Feng also glanced at Luo Feng's equipment.
"Nice equipment."
Chen Gu chuckled.
"Captain, this is pretty good. This kid is dressed more luxuriously than me."
Gao Feng looked at Luo Feng.
"Good equipment is an advantage, but not a reliable one. In the wilderness, equipment can only increase your chances of survival, it can't make decisions for you."
Luo Feng nodded.
"clear."
Gao Feng grinned.
"Then let's go."
Before leaving, Xu Xin suddenly spoke.
"Luo Feng".
Luo Feng turned around.
Xu Xin stood behind the bar, her fingers clenched lightly, as if she were mustering her courage.
"I usually spend my days here on weekends."
"You can come here when you come back."
Chen Gu immediately whistled.
Gao Feng also laughed.
Luo Feng looked at Xu Xin.
"it is good."
He spoke very seriously.
"I will definitely come back when I return."
Zhou Yan slowly thought to himself, "The client has added a non-monetary recovery objective: Come back alive."
Luo Feng followed the Fire Hammer Squad out of the HR Alliance Mall.
This time, he did not refute it.
......
The train left the base city and headed towards the Northern Military District.
The Firehammer Squad retrieved the key to Building E6 at the supply base and took a short rest.
This was the first time Luo Feng had truly stood outside the base city.
In the distance, the wilderness stretches out in all directions, and a dilapidated road extends into the distance, out of sight.
Abandoned vehicles lay across the roadside, and the fields and villages had long been overrun by monsters.
The air had a completely different smell from Monster Town.
Damp.
It smells fishy and foul.
wild.
Zhou Yan's account book unfolded at the edge of his field of vision.
[Rules for Valuing Materials in Wilderness Areas]
[Beast Soldier-grade materials: 6000 to 10000 Chinese Yuan.]
[Materials required for a beginner-level Beast General: 1000 million to 2000 million Chinese Yuan.]
[Materials for Intermediate Beast General: 2000 million to 5000 million Chinese Yuan.]
[Materials for Advanced Beast Generals: 5000 million to 5 million Chinese Yuan.]
[Special Entities: Monsters that are significantly stronger and rarer within their tier, with a base valuation increased by approximately 60%.]
[Example: Silver Moon Wolf, Wolf King type, Mutant Leader type monster.]
[Note: Sellable materials, captured equipment, and cash resources can all be included in repayment.]
Luo Feng stared at the rows of numbers.
Beast Soldier class, not expensive per unit.
The Beast General level is the real cash flow.
Zhou Yan asked, "Do you understand now?"
"clear."
"Beast soldiers are pocket change, beast generals are big money."
Luo Feng asked, "A special individual?"
Zhou Yan said, "It's the monsters themselves. Among the beast generals, some are ordinary, while others are notorious for their ferocity. Their strength, speed, and rarity are all significantly higher, such as the Silver Moon Wolf. When killing ordinary monsters, the estimate is based on the ordinary range; when killing special individuals, the overall estimate is higher."
Luo Feng silently made a note of it.
evening.
The Firehammer Squad officially left the supply base.
Chen Gu carried a machine gun on his back, while Captain Gao Feng carried the ammunition boxes from behind.
Wei Tie and Wei Qing led the way.
Luo Feng and Chen Gu were in the middle of the group.
Zhang Ke brought up the rear.
Along the way, Chen Gu explained the rules of the wilderness area to Luo Feng.
Don't drink water indiscriminately.
"Don't light fires at night."
"Sometimes a monster's roar is not just a sound, but also a signal."
"If you see a lone monster, don't rush in; there might be a group nearby."
Luo Feng listened very attentively.
He has loan experience, mental strength, and abilities far superior to those of an average newcomer.
But he would not underestimate the experience of these veteran martial artists because of this.
Those who return from the wilderness time and time again, every word they utter may have been earned with their lives.
After walking a distance, Gao Feng stopped.
Ahead, beside a dilapidated road, a one-horned wild boar was pawing at the ground next to an abandoned truck.
It was much larger than the Iron-haired Wild Boar in Monster Town.
Its fur was stiff, and its single horn gleamed coldly.
Gao Feng looked at Luo Feng.
"The first battle is yours."
Chen Gu cautioned, "Don't be careless; the monsters in the wilderness are more cunning than those in the military region."
Zhang Ke also said, "If we can't take it down, we'll retreat. We'll be right behind you."
Wei Tie and Wei Qing didn't speak, they just looked at Luo Feng.
They haven't really acknowledged this newcomer yet.
Having luxurious equipment is one thing.
Whether or not you can fight in the wilderness is another matter.
Luo Feng nodded and drew his sword.
When the Blood Shadow Blade was drawn, a flash of cold light appeared.
Luo Feng took a step.
The one-horned boar spotted him almost simultaneously, kicked its hooves, and charged at him with a roar.
high speed.
They are much fiercer than the low-level monster soldiers in Monster Town, and they are also more adept at changing direction.
The Fire Hammer Squad members all kept their eyes on Luo Feng.
They wanted to see how Luo Feng would respond.
Luo Feng did not retreat.
The mental energy spread out like an invisible film, capturing the contraction of the shoulder and back muscles of the one-horned wild boar.
The next instant, he shifted his body slightly to the side.
The unicorn whizzed past his chest.
They were very close.
Chen Gu was so close that he subconsciously held his breath.
At the same time, Luo Feng's Blood Shadow Battle Blade fell like lightning.
It's not a test.
The experience of unleashing the power of the first level of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade within his body felt like he had practiced it countless times.
The first layer of hidden force is superimposed on the blade.
Fourteen percent of his power erupted.
puff!
The Blood Shadow Blade sliced into the side of the unicorn boar's neck with almost no pause.
The one-horned wild boar charged more than ten meters before its hooves buckled and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Fresh blood gushed out from the broken neck bone.
A knife.
The Firehammer team members fell silent for a moment.
Zhang Ke was the first to speak.
"He...died?"
Chen Gu looked at Gao Feng.
Gao Feng looked at Luo Feng, and his expression clearly changed.
Wei Tie and Wei Qing exchanged a glance.
They were originally planning to teach Luo Feng how to deflect force, how to find weaknesses, and how not to rush into an attack.
As it turned out, Luo Feng didn't need it at all.
The timing, angle, and explosiveness of that strike were so clean, unlike anything seen when he first entered the wilderness.
Chen Gu couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Feng, didn't you say the Ninefold Thunder Blade technique is difficult to master?"
Luo Feng sheathed his sword.
"It is difficult."
"What about that stab you just gave me?"
"Just starting out."
Chen Gu opened his mouth.
Just starting out?
How could a beginner kill a unicorn boar that was almost a high-level beastman with a single strike?
Zhou Yan thought to himself, "The client is being overly modest; he seems to be showing off."
Luo Feng ignored him and began to divide the materials.
Gao Feng walked over and looked at the cut.
"Very profitable."
He wasn't just talking about the knife.
It was also Luo Feng.
"This one is yours."
Luo Feng nodded.
Ledger refresh.
[Estimated value of Beast Soldier-level Unicorn Boar material: 9000 Chinese Yuan.]
[9000 Huaxia Coins can be credited as repayment in this round.]
[Current total liabilities: approximately RMB 4.3910 million.]
Seeing Luo Feng put away the unicorn, Chen Gu laughed and said, "The materials for beast soldiers aren't worth much; I just wanted to have a good start."
Luo Feng said, "Even a small mosquito is still meat."
"That doesn't sound like something an eighteen-year-old would say."
"People who are in debt mature quickly."
Chen Gu laughed heartily.
……
As they continued on their journey, the Fire Hammer Squad soon discovered that Luo Feng's outburst was not accidental.
The second beast soldier was a tiger-cat.
Just as Wei Qing was about to remind Tiger Cat of his speed, Luo Feng had already cut in, his shield slanting down and his battle blade slicing through from below.
The ocelot's neck split open, and it collapsed, convulsing.
The third animal was two lion mastiffs.
Luo Feng did not rush to attack. He first used his footwork to distract the two monsters from their attack route, and then killed them one by one with a slash.
The fourth time, four wild boars with iron bristles rushed out from the abandoned village entrance.
Luo Feng did not retreat to the group, but instead used the abandoned truck on the side of the road to maneuver around it, slashing twice in three seconds, while the other two were casually shot by Chen Gu.
Chen Gu became increasingly silent as he looked at the screen.
Zhang Ke also remained silent.
Wei Tie and Wei Qing originally wanted to find an opportunity to give some pointers, but after several attempts, they didn't know what to say.
Luo Feng's fighting style is very simple.
It's so simple it doesn't look like a show of skill.
But it's always incredibly accurate.
He always seemed to know in advance what the monster would do next.
Moreover, he was cutting the materials faster and faster.
The blade slices along the fascia, removing the corners, claws, and tendons.
Every part that can be sold for money, without missing a single one.
I won't even look at parts that can't be sold.
Zhou Yan stopped recalculating the value of each animal killed.
These are all beast-class soldiers.
Luo Feng already knew the general area.
The ledgers were only updated once the team stopped to count the materials.
[Today's total Beast Soldier-level materials: 31.2 Huaxia Coins.]
[Already included in outstanding payments.]
Chen Gu finally couldn't help but ask, "Luo Feng, have you really never been to a wilderness area before?"
Luo Feng said, "No."
Zhang Ke asked, "Then how come you're so skilled at collecting materials?"
Luo Feng thought for a moment.
"I studied it in advance."
Zhou Yan added in his mind, "I've studied loans."
Luo Feng didn't say it.
Gao Feng walked ahead, a smile gradually appearing on his face.
This newcomer is much better than he expected.
They're so strong that the Firehammer Squad isn't training newbies.
It's more like finding a finely sharpened knife.
