Chapter 271: BattleG.o.d Token

Xue Xingfu took out a jade token.

The token was about the size of a palm. Its color was as dark as ink and definitely a well-refined black jade. There was Chinese calligraphy imprinted on it.

Wu[1]!

Qin Feng’s eyes were filled with excitement.

‘It’s a BattleG.o.d Token!’

Xue Xingfu narrated exultantly, “A giant rift appeared out of thin air outside Niumeng City two days ago. Through the rift, one can see a mountain housing great energy. There’s a stone slab in front of the mountain. On it was carved all sorts of ancient calligraphy. Roughly, it says that someone known as BattleG.o.d had left behind his legacy hoping that it would be inherited by someone worthy. After that, rifts began to appear in multiple locations. This BattleG.o.d Token is the ticket. However, there’s a bunch of them, roughly five thousand being dispersed.”

“How much did you pay for this?” Qin Feng asked.

Xue Xingfu replied, “Ten million.”

Even Xue Xingfu had misjudged the value of this token.

“Did I spend too much?” Xue Xingfu asked carefully. Though the BattleG.o.d Tomb showed a lot of promise, n.o.body knew what was exactly in it. Besides, since there were so many tokens distributed, Xue Xingfu was concerned that this might be a fraud.

“Not at all. Give this to Zhou Hao.” Qin Feng said.

Xue Xingfu was stunned. He then asked, “What about you?”

“Me? Well, I am going to rob it from someone, of course.” Qin Feng smirked.

Xue Xingfu was almost choked by his own saliva.

Robbing was something only those from the Dark Coalition would do. How could Qin Feng say this out loud in broad daylight?

“Please remember you are the leader of Fengli!” Xue Xingfu reminded him.

Qin Feng replied, “Don’t worry. I am going to rob none other than those from the Dark Coalition.”

“This… I bet it’s not going to be easy. If ten million is not considered a lot, then I can bring in a few more. That way, we can send out more people from our colony as well. What do you think?”

“Don’t bother. Even if they obtain the inheritance, they have little chance of coming back out alive.” Qin Feng was well aware of how dangerous the tomb could be.

The source of danger did not come from beasts but other human beings.

There were five thousand tokens out there now. Soon, a lot of powerhouses would learn about the value of this other-wordly powerful tomb.

Hence, not only would the value of the token be getting higher and higher in the future, the people that enter the tomb later would also become stronger and stronger.

There were two criteria to enter the tomb.

First, the person must be aged twenty or below.

Second, his or her inner power must be able to form a cloud, which meant that the person had to be at least an F-tier ancient warrior.

Not that they could find another person matching the above criteria in the colony. Even if there was one, the addition of one or two persons made no difference in the face of five thousand compet.i.tors.

This would be a fierce contention and Qin Feng expected to see a lot of blood.

Zhou Hao was strong enough and he could definitely survive the tomb with Xiao Huang’s aid. Others might not be as lucky.

Thus, Qin Feng decided to give this opportunity only to Zhou Hao.

“If you say so…” Xue Xingfu gave up on the idea.

“By the way, have you collected the beast king cores as I have requested?” Qin Feng asked.

“I have ama.s.sed thirty of them at the cost of twenty billion.” Money could buy you anything in this world. Even the precious beast king cores that were put on sale in the black market.

Xue Xingfu had anonymously gathered multiple cores during Qin Feng’s long absence.

“Good. Bring them to me.”

“Noted.”

Xue Xingfu had no idea what Qin Feng used the cores for but he mourned the lavish spending. He did not stay for long after pa.s.sing the cores to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng gave all the cores to Bai Li. He then called Zhou Hao to meet him in the hall.

Zhou Hao had been training intensively recently and his strength had increased rapidly. Currently, he was an F4-tier apt.i.tude user.

Though his improvement was not as rapid as Qin Feng, he was still evolving at an unbelievable rate. This was all thanks to the Golden Queen Ant.

“Take this and depart to Niumeng immediately. But don’t enter the city first,” Qin Feng instructed him about the BattleG.o.d Tomb.

“How about you? You fit the criteria as well. Why don’t you go by yourself? Judging by your power now, you could get the inheritance with ease. I don’t need you to make way for me,” Zhou Hao said.

Qin Feng stopped Zhou Hao’s hand that was about to reject the token and explained, “I will get my own token. But I am probably going to join with a hidden ident.i.ty.”

Zhou Hao, who was puzzled, asked, “Why a hidden ident.i.ty?”

“Xiao Bai is going to follow me. But she wouldn’t get past the entrance in human form. Besides, I should not be going there with my current status as a mayor. Besides, the compet.i.tion would be tough this time. If I am to kill those influential people in there, things would turn real chaotic.”

Zhou Hao was baffled. “Influential people?”

“Yeah. Such as descendants of various famous families, or even people from Dragon City!” Qin Feng answered.

Zhou Hao finally understood what Qin Feng meant. “I get it now. Please be careful out there.”

“Don’t worry. When you see me, just pretend that we are strangers,” Qin Feng said.

“Noted!”

Zhou Hao left with the BattleG.o.d Token after they were done talking.

Niumeng was rather far from Fengli. It would take days to reach so one would need to depart earlier.

However, Qin Feng did not move.

Not only that but a lot of people had seen Qin Feng inspecting Fengli’s ongoing development.

From Wanzong’s branch, the underground market, to the establishment of the orphanage and defense system, Qin Feng had gone through each of them.

His final inspection was the factory, where Liu Zhenshan was in charge.

After relocating to Fengli from Han Town, Liu Zhenshan had been working behind the scenes all this while. This was because Qin Feng was simply too capable and had brought home numerous materials all the time. If they were to rely on others to process the materials or just sell the raw materials, it would a.s.suredly not bring the biggest profit to Fengli.

As such, Liu Zhenshan was elected the head of research and development. They set up a factory and focused on how to produce equipment from raw materials.

Self-sustenance was their ultimate aim. Qin Feng did not want other powers to hold onto industries essential to Fengli.

As the materials brought back by Qin Feng were usually of good quality, most equipment forged by Liu Zhenshan was E-tier.

He was confused by Qin Feng’s order a few days ago but he had finished the task without any questions asked.

Inside the office, there were only Liu Zhenshan, Qin Feng, and Bai Li. The workers did not suspect a thing.

“Mayor, I have forged the items as you have requested.”

As he spoke, Liu Zhenshan brought out a case and opened it.

In there laid a silver battle suit, a pair of daggers, and a white mask.

“These are all made with F-tier beast king materials. The outcome is better than expected. There’s this cape which is made from Darknight Bat. I purposely removed the glow on it so the user could blend in with the darkness.”

“These two daggers are made from the F7-tier beast king Black Mantis’s blades.”

“This mask is made from a special material that could block out consciousness and is anti-venom. It also boosts the wearer’s senses!”

Liu Zhenshan introduced the equipment one by one.

[1] The chinese word is 武 (Wu), which carries a lot of meaning such as wushu (武術, martial art), kungfu (武功 / 功夫) or battle (武鬥). The tomb belongs to 武神, which is directly translated as G.o.d of Wu. In this context, BattleG.o.d is used instead of G.o.d of Wu as it would be more intuitive to English readers.
