Chapter 55: A Seductive Invitation, Hong's Attitude

Where is the Iridescent Senator?

Stepping out of the passageway, Luo Feng responded with a smile and a nod to the congratulations from the base personnel, then asked the question.

He had planned to have Iridescent bring some blood pills back to Hong as a special token of appreciation for opening the No. 9 ancient civilization ruin for him. Luo Feng had previously learned about such ruins; they were generally opened only once or twice a year, each time gathering a group of God-level fighters to enter together. It seemed that opening one exclusively for a single individual had never happened before.

...Actually, these blood pills should have been given before entering, but while chatting with Iridescent, Luo Feng had completely forgotten about it.

"Your reaction is quite normal. After all, a blond, long-legged, busty woman is indeed very attractive to virgins—this has been scientifically proven," Bai Chen, wearing a pair of glasses, commented with absolute objectivity within the inner-body space.

Luo Feng's body stiffened, black lines popped up on his forehead, and he directly chose to ignore "Bai".

Sometimes, having a flippant "special creature" living inside one's body could be truly helpless... Every thought could be heard.

Could a guy get a little privacy! Luo Feng sighed endlessly.

"You think I enjoy listening?" Hearing Luo Feng's grumbling, Bai Chen felt somewhat displeased and let out a light hum of dissatisfaction.

As a cheat system, one of his passive abilities was the capacity to overhear the host's inner thoughts. Even if he forcefully blocked the inner thoughts, it was only temporary; once the block was lifted, all the accumulated thoughts would flood into his mind at once!

He was annoyed too, okay!

Ahem, but still... though.

Sometimes this "eavesdropping feeling" was actually quite thrilling and interesting. Bai Chen thought to himself secretly.

...

"Lord Iridescent left half a month ago, but upon learning that you had passed the assessment, Lord Luo Feng, she is currently on her way back," the lead staff member replied respectfully.

Coming back? Luo Feng was somewhat surprised. Making a special trip back just because he passed seemed unnecessary, right? Or did she have other business?

Beep, beep! His tactical watch vibrated.

[Master, World Leader Hong sent a message. He says: Luo Feng, congratulations on passing... By the way, if you have no use for the Black God Set you newly acquired, you can choose to sell it to the Limitless Martial Arts Gym, and the price will not treat you unfairly. Of course, this depends entirely on your own wishes; you can also choose to keep it or sell it to others.]

"No. 1, reply to World Leader Hong's message and say..." Luo Feng pondered for a brief moment and said, "I have use for this Black God Set myself, so I won't sell it. However, to express my gratitude, I will give Lord Iridescent ten thousand blood pills to bring to you."

Business is business. If Hong had used the opportunity to enter the No. 9 ruin as a bargaining chip from the very beginning and demanded a certain number of blood pills in exchange, Luo Feng estimated he would have given at most one or two thousand pills as a gesture. But since the other party didn't talk about "money" and even went out of their way to open the ruin passageway exclusively for him...

That being the case, Luo Feng was the one who owed a favor. Moreover, since his harvest in the ruins was so bountiful, Luo Feng's character dictated that he certainly wouldn't be stingy.

Besides, one blood pill was redeemable for 0.005 contribution points, so ten thousand blood pills amounted to only 50 points. For Luo Feng, that was truly not much.

"As the supreme peak combat power guarding humanity, enhancing World Leader Hong's strength is also for the good of all mankind," Luo Feng thought to himself.

Perhaps in the future, he could find a suitable way to provide blood pills to Hong, Thor, and other warriors and ordinary people who sacrificed themselves for China and humanity. Only when the entire country and all of humanity grew stronger could they fundamentally resist the invasion of monsters.

Relying merely on a sparse few top powerhouses to protect a mass of weak beings was never a viable long-term solution. These top powerhouses could safeguard human safety against monster incursions, but what about malicious extraterrestrial visitors from the universe?

Luo Feng had long since learned from "Bai" that the universe was not a game of house. The universe obeyed the dark forest law and the rule of the jungle! An indigenous planet like Earth that had not yet stepped into the universe, even if it theoretically belonged to a member of the human race, would actually not receive protection within the cosmic human race because Earth humans lacked a "civilian registration".

To obtain a civilian registration, one had to reach the planetary level oneself, then join some cosmic nation and become a citizen.

Ordinary indigenous humans who failed to reach the planetary level might not necessarily face a bleak future; if they could register officially as planetary lords, basic cosmic human laws would protect these ordinary people...

...Limitless Martial Arts Gym Headquarters, giant ten-kilometer spacecraft, quiet room.

The beeping sound rang out. Hong lowered his head to glance at the message Luo Feng sent back on his smart wristband, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Ten thousand blood pills?

That meant an increase of one thousand tons of physical strength for him! ...Although it wasn't a massive amount for him now that he had reached the seventh stage of the planetary level, if he had to rely on bitter cultivation alone, he might not achieve such a huge boost even in a full year.

"This Luo Feng really knows how to give people surprises." Hong smiled slightly, having no intention of rejecting Luo Feng's token of appreciation.

Through this incident, he roughly guessed in his heart that this young man Luo Feng must possess some kind of method to acquire blood pills in large quantities; otherwise, he wouldn't casually gift ten thousand blood pills just like that. He was treating pills like they were worth nothing.

At this, a trace of temptation flickered in Hong's heart. He had an intense yearning for even greater strength.

Aside from his personal pursuit of martial arts, it was also due to his deep concern for Earth's future. Having acquired a vast amount of information on ancient civilization ruins, Hong had long known that Earth was not the only living planet in the universe.

"However, such matters cannot be forced..." Hong shook his head. If Earth were facing a crisis of life and death right now, he would definitely demand that Luo Feng hand over all his blood pills.

This was not targeted at Luo Feng. Regardless of who possessed blood pills or other treasures capable of enhancing strength, once that kind of critical moment arrived, Hong would make the exact same decision.

Because he was Earth's number one fighter, enhancing his own strength would provide just a fraction more possibility of surviving the crisis!

"Still, I can probe the waters to see if it's possible to obtain the production method for the blood pills," Hong thought, deep in thought.

...

Amazon No. 9 Base.

Luo Feng met with the approaching Iridescent Senator.

After placing ten thousand blood pills into Iridescent's fighter jet, Luo Feng was about to bid farewell and leave when he was stopped by Iridescent.

"Luo Feng, are you interested in joining the Limitless Martial Arts Gym?"

"...No, I prefer the feeling of freedom being on my own." Luo Feng looked at Iridescent with considerable surprise. The other party had specifically come to the base to see him just to recruit him?

This was something Luo Feng hadn't anticipated. After all, Hong himself hadn't made an offer to recruit him, yet his personal bodyguard did. It certainly seemed a bit strange.

Could this be Hong's intention?

Luo Feng thought about Hong's personality and silently shook his head. A man like Hong would never play such tactics; if he truly wanted to recruit someone, he would state it directly.

"What a pity then." A trace of regret flashed in Iridescent's eyes. Her intuition told her that this person Luo Feng would undoubtedly achieve great things in the future.

If there was an opportunity to add a formidable general to the Limitless Martial Arts Gym and to Hong's command, it would naturally be a good thing. This was why Iridescent had hurried over immediately after Luo Feng passed the ruin assessment.

"Then, Senator Iridescent, I'll be taking my leave first," Luo Feng said politely.

Iridescent nodded slightly, watching Luo Feng depart before boarding her own fighter jet.

Glancing sideways at the several large jars filled to the brim with red pills in the corner of the fighter jet, a look of curiosity flickered in Iridescent's eyes.

"Why is the World Leader paying so much attention to these little red pills... and even specifically instructed me to protect them well without any damage?"

On Earth, not many things could make the god-like World Leader pay such close attention... Riddled with doubt and confusion, the fighter jet flew toward the Limitless Headquarters.
