Chapter 226 - Incredibly Tough (1/2)

“Old Qin!”

“Look, Old Qin is back!”

“Old Du! Old Du is back too!”

The people from the Second Squad, First Platoon in the Third Company Second Battalion were the first to jump off their beds and rushed over to Qin Fen, who had just entered the living quarters.

Other people were also cheering and jumping off their beds together, creating a human tide that rushed toward the two.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fen and Du Peng were already buried by their enthusiastic comrades without even having a chance to resist.

“Old Qin!” The one hundred and ninety-two centimeters tall Deng Biao hammered Qin Fen’s chest with his fist, “I only haven’t seen you for a little while and you’ve already gotten stronger.”

“Old Du…” Deng Biao’s other arm clasped Du Peng tightly with even more puzzlement in his eyes, “I haven’t seen you for only a few days and there seems to be a huge change in your aura! It seems that the returns of the outstation training this time were not little.”

“Old Qin, Old Du, you still don’t know right?” Jin Kui’s figure was still as fat as before. Even the tough army life still couldn’t help him slim down, “American recruits…”

Deng Biao interrupted Jin Kui’s words with a long sigh, “Old Jin, the two of them just got back. They haven’t even had a chance to rest. Let them rest their bodies first and then talk about this matter.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Qin Fen patted Jin Kui’s shoulder, “You’re talking about James and Thomas, right?”

The lively crowd was stunned. Deng Biao finally asked, “You already know?”

“Yeah.” Qin Fen pointed to Du Peng, who was next to him, “He crushed the bones in Thomas’s whole body, his whole body.”

“His whole body?!?”

An exclamation of shock filled the room at once, almost blowing off the roof of the living quarters.

Deng Biao pointed at Du Peng with a finger, looked at Qin Fen and asked, “Old Qin…his whole body meaning…that would mean every single bone of his skeleton…”

“Almost.” Qin Fen slowly nodded, “Excluding the few bones that would immediately kill him once broken, every other bone in Thomas’s body was crushed.”

Another loud gasp was heard in the living quarters. Everyone started evaluating Du Peng from head to toe dozens of times.

Thomas was so powerful. Although the others did not battle him themselves, they had seen the strength that the monster had.

Du Peng was uncomfortable with everyone evaluating him like that and simply fired a shot at Qin Fen saying, “You had also beaten James to the point where he was kneeling on the ground and was completely overwhelmed.”

“What?”

Everyone’s attention was switched back to Qin Fen in a split second. Deng Biao then enthusiastically clasped his arm around Qin Fen’s neck, “Old Qin, James’s strength is extraordinary…”

“He and James faced thirty-seven or eight punches, pushing James three or five hundred steps backward.” Du Peng returned within the surrounding of the comrades. His emotions were slightly better than before, “In the face of Qin Fen, James’s strength is equivalent to a little chick.”

“Old Qin…” Deng Biao dragged his voice, “Talk about it! How exactly did the both of you fight the American recruits? Tell us about it!”

The crowd surrounded Qin Fen and Du Peng and pushed them towards a window closest to them.

Surrounded by people, Qin Fen explained a little. However, he once again felt an obvious change in Du Peng’s emotions as he was talking about his fight.

Qin Fen sighed in his heart. Du Zhanpeng had influenced and changed him way too much. No matter how Du Peng’s performance was, or how much more active he was than before, there would be an immediate change in him once anything related to Du Zhanpeng was mentioned.

After the matter was explained, most of the people were still immersed in the recollection of Qin Fen’s story.

Du Peng and Qin Fen then finally escaped from the encirclement and returned to their respective beds. They had missed their mattress after not staying in the military camp for quite some time.

Zhang Xiangyang walked slowly from the crowd toward his bed under the gaze of Qin Fen. He pushed the flat-glass spectacles on his nose, “Hey, it’s been a while.”

“Yeah, it’s been awhile.”

Qin Fen sat on the bed, using his arms to support his weight with the bed, and let out a long sigh. The amount of things that had happened throughout his days of training outstation was indeed too much. They were even more stimulating and insightful than the total ten plus years he had lived previously.

After they looked at each other for a few seconds, Zhang Xiangyang clapped his hands together and said after widening his eyes, “Right! I suddenly remembered, Dragon Hall!”

Qin Fen smiled and watched as Zhang Xiangyang went on with his performance. Not only did his strength grow during his time outstation, but his perspectives had also grown from the experiences he had.

It was impossible for people with characteristics like Zhang Xiangyang to be a normal soldier, it wouldn’t make any sense.

“Dragon Hall has developed well these days.” Zhang Xiangyang took out a calculator from under his pillow, his fingers dancing as he pressed the keys. It seemed as if he was not pressing on the keys on a calculator but rather like he was a piano master who was playing a melodious piece.

“Okay!” Zhang Xiangyang handed the calculator to Qin Fen, “This is the remaining savings we have these days after removing the management fees that are required by all communities set by the government, as well as other fees like resource fees.”

Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…

Qin Fen stared at the value on the calculator with shock in his eyes.

There were six digits before the decimal point on the calculator! And the number at the beginning of the six-digit number was actually seven! Seventy thousand!

Qin Fen took in a hard breath of cold air. He had gambled and robbed during his near death battles outstation, and if he were to exclude the cost of the Jungle Ranger, he would have earned around two to three million.

In this place that was not exactly deathly — it would not really encounter actual danger — they actually managed to quietly earn seventy thousand?

“Shocking, right?” Zhang Xiangyang interlaced his fingers together, “There is actually no need to be shocked. During the sect-annihilation battle, you had already single-handedly turned a group of people over, bringing us a huge amount of weapons, as well as a broken first-generation machine armor. I saved some of those stuff and sold the rest. Moreover, during the day you continuously challenged so many sects and won all those plaques, they had redeemed them by paying us money. This had also brought us a large income.”

Qin Fen sighed continuously as he listened. It seemed that this military weapon business was indeed profitable. Not only could it make big money in reality, the virtual items on the military web alone was enough to support the families of ordinary people.

“Also…” Zhang Xiangyang pointed to the computer that was currently shut down, “The footage from the day of challenging sects and the sect-annihilation battles was passed on to the forum. In the following days, it managed to attract a large number of viewers. Many people then started joining the Dragon Hall. As a result, the headcount at our Dragon Hall has already surpassed the preset limit. If you wish to expand, you could either start a war to snatch other people’s territory or apply for an upgrade for the Dragon Hall at the system. Of course, that would require you to fight. If you still have the strength of a four-star, your opponent would definitely not be just that. In order to upgrade the level of a community, the system would pick your new opponent according to your star-class during your first ever application. Of course, the shorter the time, the smaller the increase in ranking of your opponent.”

“So if I were to apply for the upgrade now…?”

Zhang Xiangyang grinned, “It’ll probably be estimated to be five-star?”

“Understood.” Qin Fen grabbed his helmet and immediately put it on his head.

Zhang Xiangyang put his arms behind his head and used it as a pillow. He said to himself, “You’re forthright.”

Four minutes later, Qin Fen opened his eyes and took off his helmet.

Zhang Xiangyang had a look of disbelief, “So fast?”

“Well! You can already continue to develop it…”

Before Qin Fen finished talking, Zhang Xiangyang had already reached to switch on the desktop computer and quickly signed in to the forum.

“Thirty-Six Hours Comeback”

“Money-sucking Vampire, One Brutal Attack”

“Burst! Burst! Burst! The Resurrection of the Head of the Dragon Hall”

The sharp red-colored video title had been pinned at the top of the forum.

In the Sky Battle Net, there were tons of people who could fight for more than thirty-six hours. However, there were not many people who could fight in a way that was refreshing, fierce, and immediately trigger the boiling passion in those who watched the fight.

Just in terms of popularity, besides those extreme experts in Sky Battle Net, Qin Fen’s popularity was almost unbeatable.

Even after staying low and disappearing for a while, he was immediately worshiped soon after he reappeared.

“Handsome!” Zhang Xiangyang clapped his hands and took off the helmet, “That video earlier would be the best advertisement for recruiting disciples thanks to the network!”

Deng Biao walked up to Qin Fen with a bunch of people. His rough face came close to Qin Fen, “Old Qin, don’t just focus on your own strength upgrade. If you have the time, come help a brother out! Let’s exchange for a bit, give us a few pointers.”

Qin Fen did not have the chance to decline the offer. He and Du Peng, who was lying on the bed, were already lifted out of the room by several people.

The lively scene continued until night. Only after the appearance of Lin Jiaxuan was Qin Fen released from battle.

“Old Qin, that beauty is here again, hurry over.” Deng Biao pushed Qin Fen’s back and said playfully to the others, “It seems that Old Qin not only has to give us pointers for our fighting techniques but also on how to get girls.”

All the others burst into laughter. Lin Jiaxuan threw a fierce glance at Deng Biao. If it wasn’t for the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, she would rather be killed than appear here.

Every time she thought about the night Qin Fen was dredged his true energy through her by the sea and triggered the fluctuation of her young heart, Lin Jiaxuan was even more enraged.

As she saw Qin Fen’s unhurried pace, Lin Jiaxuan once again pouted her cherry lips that were desired by most men who had seen her.

“Something the matter?”

Hearing Qin Fen’s reluctant voice, Lin Jiaxuan’s twitched her brows. Her irritated look had a special kind of cuteness.

“I can’t look for you if there’s nothing?”

Qin Fen was surprised, but replied honestly, “I am very busy, don’t look for me if there’s nothing.”

Lin Jiaxuan felt that her nose was about to burst in anger. Although not every single guy who saw her would turn into a hormonal male dog, they would at least show some mannerism. It was the first time she had ever received something like “I’m very busy, don’t look for me if there’s nothing.”
