Chapter 18: Newcomers

At eight o’clock in the evening, on the second floor of the elite training camp’s restaurant number 1, a full 21 trainees from China gathered here just to welcome Luo Feng! When one is in a foreign country, one would feel that old folks would be especially kind to each other, many of the elder brothers and sisters, one by one, were drinking and talking to Luo Feng with enthusiasm.

An hour later.

“Whew, finally let me off the hook.” Luo Feng was standing in the corner with a glass of wine.

“This dinner was prepared for you, you are the main character today, of course everyone is looking for you to drink and chat.” Zhao Ruo’s face was slightly flushed, under the lighting of the hall, it unexpectedly had a hint of delicacy belonging to a woman, “And senior brother Luo Feng, today’s dinner was paid for by senior brother Chu Qiang, do you know how much money was spent on just this one dinner?”

Luo Feng shook his head, “The dishes are all very tasty, the price can’t really be guessed, but even if it’s expensive to top it off, a million Chinese coins is about right?”

How expensive can spending on food and drinks be?

“One million? Just kidding!” Zhao Ru lowered her voice, “The chefs of the elite training camp are the best in the world, and many of these dishes are even made from the materials of some powerful monsters. Just one dinner ……21 person, eating, at the very least tens of millions.”

Luo Feng’s eyes blinked west.

“Don’t mind the price! If you were anywhere else in the world, you wouldn’t be able to eat with money!” Zhao Ruo shook her head, “But this amount of money, for senior brother Chu Qiang is really nothing. In our training camp, trainees who are able to rank in the top ten. As long as they are willing to join a certain organization, there is definitely a large amount of money!”

“Chu Qiang joined an organization?” Luo Feng asked in surprise.

Yesterday when he came, on that black dragon ranking, at that time Chu Qiang was ranked second. To be able to rank second in the elite training camp, even if it was temporary, it was still terrifying.

“Chu Qiang was pulled over by our Huaxia country’s army, this news was known to all a year ago.” Zhao Ruo lowered his voice and said, “And I heard that the Extreme Martial Arts Hall side is also pulling Chu Qiang in, that is, there are a few organizations within the country of Huaxia that are rushing to hire him, and it is rumored that the army side is for Chu Qiang, especially setting up a special operations department! After Chu Qiang graduated, he is directly the boss of this action department!”

Luo Feng was shocked.

National army, specialized unified action department to meet Chu Qiang?

“There’s no way, Chu Qiang’s strength is indeed awesome.” Zhao Ruo marveled, “He’s the one who can steadily rank in the top 5 in the training camp, in the training camp, in terms of strength alone, there are ten people who can rank in the top 5! However, there are only one or two who can consistently rank in the top 5 in the black dragon ranking for a long time.

Luo Feng nodded in understanding.

The black dragon rankings were ranked according to points, although if you were strong, your ranking would be high. But rankings can’t show 100% of a person’s strength! This month I rushed to the top 5, next month maybe another person of comparable strength rushed to the top 5, everyone’s strength is closer.

That’s why it is said that …… there are ten people who are qualified to rank in the top five.

And to be able to steadily rank in the top five for a long period of time is scary.

“On the government’s military side, they must give Chu Qiang a large amount of money every year.” Zhao Ruo sighed, “In our training camp, the most accomplished are three kinds of people …… One kind is Chu Qiang like this, strong and joining special organizations. The second kind is the ones who join one of the core families of the HR Alliance. The third kind is the Spiritual Nihilist!”

“But the second kind of person, joining a core family of the HR Alliance, is stupid. Although those families have money, but in terms of backstage and power, how can they compare to the national army? How can they compare to the Extreme Martial School and Thunderbolt Martial School?”

“The third kind, spirit numenera! Alas, there’s no way. People’s spiritual energy can manipulate concealed weapons, and killing monsters is simply harvesting! Hunting and killing monsters every day is scary, and relying on this alone, the speed of earning money is frighteningly fast! One spiritual master can make money as fast as ten of us!”

Luo Feng laughed.

He himself was a spiritual master, of course he knew exactly how fast spiritual masters made money! A medium battle general, such as Gao Feng, used to only make two or three hundred million a year. And a high level battle general martial artist, making a billion dollars a year was considered good. As for Luo Feng, a Higher War General level mentalist, it wasn’t strange for him to make almost 10 billion dollars a year.

It’s better than the average beginner battle general!

Higher battle general level spiritual master, in terms of strength, it was comparable to a primary battle god. Combined with the weirdness of spiritual nimbus, hunting monsters was much more efficient.

“These three types of people are the three most wealthy people in our training camp.” Zhao Ruo muttered.

“Luo Feng!” A bright voice rang out.

Luo Feng and Zhao Ruo turned their heads to look, only to see a tall young man with a face like an axe chisel and knife carving walking over, it was none other than the Elite Training Camp’s man of the hour – Chu Qiang!

“Senior brother Chu Qiang.” Zhao Ruo shouted with a smile, “You guys chat.” Saying that, he obediently walked away.

Luo Feng and Chu Qiang stood in the corner.

“Luo Feng.” Chu Qiang glanced at the others in the distance and lowered his voice, “My Chinese military is very interested in you. I wonder if you’re interested in joining the military?

“Military?” Luo Feng was stunned.

He had just joined the elite training camp and he came to pull people in?

“Right!” Chu Qiang took a sip of wine from his cup, “Don’t worry, the military is never stingy when it comes to talent. Your treatment in the army after graduation. It is naturally based on your strength! By then, the stronger you are, the higher your treatment will be! As for the detailed treatment, we can discuss it later. And as long as you agree to join, then …… for the five years you’re in the training camp, the military will provide 5 billion dollars a year for your activities.”

Luo Feng’s heartbeat accelerated slightly.

5 billion?

If it wasn’t a spiritual ninjutsu master, a normal martial artist hunting monsters wasn’t very efficient. Such as a Primary War God, it was very difficult to hunt Primary Lord monsters successfully! So for a Primary War God to earn 5 billion a year would be considered good.

And the spending of the War Gods was frighteningly high, so most of the War Gods were very short of money!

Dragon blood, water of life, SS grade combat suits and so on ……

Which one of them isn’t a sky-high price?

Most of the war gods couldn’t afford them either.

Like when Luo Feng was in the Iron Armored Dragon’s lair, the set of combat uniforms he got only had an SS grade combat undershirt, so obviously that dead god of war couldn’t afford the full set. Only buying a most important combat undershirt.

“Senior brother, I’ve only just entered the training camp. No plans to join any organization. Let’s talk about it in a few years.” Luo Feng said.

“Oh?” Chu Qiang was a bit surprised, “Alright, your idea is also right, these five years are the most important five years for you to improve your strength. If you have the idea of joining the Chinese military, just inform me.”

This one night, Luo Feng received a total of 6 invitations! Three of them were from within Huaxia, by these invitations to join, Luo Feng then realized that …… there were some special power departments within Huaxia besides the military. But in comparison, it was still the military that had a harder backstage.

The other three invitations came from the two core families of the HR Alliance and a mercenary army called the “Flame Legion”.

There were quite a few mercenaries on Earth.

However, most of them were of average strength, but there were also some extremely powerful ones!

“Hong” and “Thunder God” were each able to occupy a base city, but also let the two martial arts museums spread all over the world, the power of the force, no less than a powerful country!

They can be called the two great lords.

The earth, there are other ambitious, also want to establish their own forces, become a party of lords! For example, the “Flame Legion” is the existence of two beyond the God of War joined forces to establish, in the mercenary army, is also extremely powerful. It has been invited by several base cities in Africa to help them.

But ……

Luo Feng refused all six invitations!

Early morning on March 30th, the temperature was low.

Many trainees were running or walking inside the training camp, Luo Feng was one of them.

“Luo Feng, Luo Feng.”

Luo Feng, who was walking on a stone path and was dressed in black practicing clothes, stopped in surprise and looked back. He only saw a young man with slightly curly short blonde hair smiling as he walked over, speaking in a slightly awkward Mandarin that made people think that it was a foreigner speaking Mandarin at first hearing.

“My name is William, William Edison, from the European Union country.” The blonde-haired youth enthusiastically said.

William?

Luo Feng muttered in his heart, this name is the same as “Alexander” from Soviet Russia, “David” from the United States of America, “Wang Wei” and “Zhang Wei” from China. This name is the same as “Wang Wei” and “Zhang Wei” on the Chinese side, it’s a familiar name that can’t be familiarized.

“William? Hello.” Luo Feng also smiled.

“I’ve always been curious about Huaxia.” The blonde youth enthusiastically said, “And at the training camp, there are many talented martial artists from China. And you, Luo Feng, were even called in individually, I would love to compete with you, Luo Feng, to compare strengths, I don’t know if you, Luo Feng, can fulfill this request.

Luo Feng was stunned, “Compete?”

“Well, go to the challenge room and compete, is that okay?” Blonde youth William said enthusiastically.

“Challenge room?” Luo Feng’s mind immediately recalled the contents of the “instructions for students” that he had read, this challenge room was a product of the ruins of an ancient civilization. After entering the challenge room, two people would put on their consciousness sensors and enter the “virtual space”, and then engage in a life and death battle in the virtual space! Generally, there would be bets for this kind of battle!

“Let’s not bet big, how about one billion Chinese coins?” The blonde youth William smiled even more brightly and enthusiastically.

“William!”

A dainty voice rang out.

Luo Feng turned his head to look, only to see Zhao Ruo in purple practicing clothes with a furious look on her face, drinking; “William, you’re too shameless! Senior brother Luo Feng just came as just a newbie, betting on a battle with you in the challenge room? I’m afraid he’s sending you money. You nasty guys, back in March, you secretly found a few newbies and made them bet on battles with you and lose money to you! If you’re capable, you can bet with me!”

“Ms. Zhao Ru, this has nothing to do with you, I believe Luo Feng is very strong, maybe I’m the one who lost to him.” William looked towards Luo Feng.

Zhao Ruo also even looked at Luo Feng: “Luo Feng, don’t trust this foreign devil, some people in the training camp are just more sinister. Specializing in bullying newcomers, they don’t dare to bully openly, instead they engage in betting wars with newcomers …… And in betting wars, it’s almost always the newcomers who just came that lose. After suffering a loss, the newcomers know the old man s power! This foreign devil, the battle power amplitude is ‘medium’ although it is not high, but it is not low either, the newcomers are usually not opponents.”

“One billion only.”

Blonde youth William looked at Luo Feng, “Join some random organization, it’s more than this much a year.”

Luo Feng completely understood the ins and outs of the matter, some people in the training camp relied on the fact that the newcomers didn’t understand many of the rules, and enthusiastically dragged them to bet on battles to make a fortune from the newcomers.

“It’s William!” A Chinese youth ran over, this Chinese youth, is called Jiang Chen, Luo Feng already knew him from yesterday’s dinner, “Luo Feng, don’t bet on war with him! This guy is shady as hell, I just joined the training camp on March 1st this year, the first day I came to this camp, I was tricked by this guy to go to the challenge room. Made a hard profit by him.”

“FUCK!”

William’s face didn’t look too good, he was looking for a chance to see Luo Feng alone before he came over, he didn’t expect to be sabotaged one after another.

“Fine, want to bet on the battle, fine.” Luo Feng looked at him with a smile.

“Luo Feng.” Zhao Ruo and Jiang Chen were shocked.

“Oh.” William revealed a surprised unexpected look, “Luo Feng, let’s set a time.”

“But one billion is really small, I’m not interested. Let’s go slightly bigger, 5 billion!” Luo Feng glanced at William, “Play if you dare, don’t dare, forget it.

Zhao Ruo and Jiang Chen stared blankly.

“5 billion?” William also froze.
