Earth, Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou City, Mingyue Community.
Wang Cheng, dressed in loose casual wear, stood in the small yard in front of his villa, talking to a white-clothed, black-haired young man.
Suddenly, a voice calling out from a distance.
"Brother Wang, my dad is rushing me, I'm heading over first!" The black-haired young man scratched his head and said apologetically.
"Alright, we'll chat later. If you have any difficulties, you can come find me!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"I won't be polite!" The black-haired young man waved his hand and then ran off quickly.
Watching the black-haired young man run rapidly to the entrance of another villa not far away, Wang Cheng sighed softly.
It had been a full three months since he transmigrated to this world filled with martial artists and monsters. From the very beginning, Wang Cheng had confirmed that this was the world of Swallowed Star through some familiar names. Now that he had met Luo Feng himself, there was no need for further doubt.
That's right, the person chatting with Wang Cheng just now was the future Galaxy Lord, the savior of humanity in the universe, the strongest being in the Vast Sea of the Universe... City Lord Luo, Luo Feng himself.
However, Luo Feng was still very young. He had just passed the Quasi-Warrior assessment and, due to his exceptional talent, joined the Limit Martial Hall early. This led him to move his family to Mingyue Community.
He had also become neighbors with Wang Cheng.
Well, Wang Cheng's villa was number 198, and Luo Feng's was number 199. The two families were less than thirty meters apart. With a turn of his head in his own yard, Wang Cheng could immediately see everything in the yard in front of Luo Feng's villa. They were naturally neighbors!
"Enmm, although I know many secrets, the body I transmigrated into is truly trash. I've been a martial artist for three years and am only a High-level Warrior. Relying on myself, I'll likely only reach the General level by the time I die. Becoming a War God would require a miracle..." Wang Cheng thought, and soon he solidified his future path.
He absolutely had to build a good relationship with Luo Feng. When Luo Feng rose to power in the future, even if he could help him a little, it would be infinitely better than his own blind efforts!
There was no other way. His talent was garbage, and his strength couldn't improve. It was useless for Wang Cheng to know more secrets; he couldn't obtain them, and even if he did, he wouldn't have the ability to utilize them!
The only thing Wang Cheng could do now was to make good use of their neighborly relationship.
Without lingering, Wang Cheng quickly returned to the villa's main hall and made a phone call.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, what dishes are we making today?"
"I want to cook myself today. Send over some pre-prepared ingredients!" Wang Cheng said calmly. He continued, "I'll pay as usual!"
"Yes, of course!" The voice on the other end of the phone agreed immediately without any hesitation.
"Mhm, still deliver to the entrance of Mingyue Community. Someone will pick it up!" Wang Cheng said and hung up the phone.
"It's been a while, I wonder if my skills have regressed?" Wang Cheng hummed a tune as he walked into the kitchen and began washing and preparing.
He wasn't just thinking about getting closer to Luo Feng.
Today was Luo Feng's family's moving day, a housewarming celebration. What a perfect reason!
If he invited Luo Feng's family over and personally cooked a table of dishes, wouldn't that immediately build their relationship?
Wang Cheng busied himself for the entire afternoon, and then he went to Luo Feng's villa.
"Brother Wang, you're treating us?" Luo Feng seemed a bit taken aback.
"Haha, Luo Feng, I saw you just moved in, and I have nothing else to do, so I thought we could liven things up together?" Wang Cheng chuckled. He then looked at Luo Feng's father:
"Uncle Luo, would you like to try my cooking?"
"Isn't this too much trouble for you?" Luo Hongguo was also a bit surprised. However, he was an "old hand" after all. He could tell that Wang Cheng wasn't just being polite; he was genuinely inviting them.
"It's no trouble. I've already prepared everything. We're just waiting for you!" Wang Cheng said with a smile.
"Brother Wang, this..."
"Don't be so polite, come on!" Wang Cheng interrupted him and pulled Luo Feng's hand as they walked out.
"Uncle Luo, you can all come over by yourselves later. I won't call you!" By the time Wang Cheng turned his head to speak, he had already pulled Luo Feng out of the house.
Luo Feng had only recently become a martial artist. In terms of strength, he was far from being a match for Wang Cheng, a High-level Warrior!
Luo Feng was inexplicably pulled out of his house. Not long after, Luo Hongguo arrived with Luo Feng's Mother and Luo Feng's Younger Brother.
However, they were carrying hastily prepared gifts. Wang Cheng naturally wouldn't refuse and accepted them!
Wang Cheng's cooking skills weren't exceptional, but they weren't bad either. Coupled with the sincere desire of both sides to foster a good relationship, the meal was naturally a joyous occasion for both hosts and guests.
In fact, although Wang Cheng knew Luo Feng's future achievements would be extraordinary, Luo Feng's family didn't. Therefore, in the eyes of Luo Hongguo and the others at this moment, building a good relationship with Wang Cheng, a seasoned martial artist, was definitely beneficial and harmless.
During the banquet--
"Xiao Wang, why are you alone at home? Where are your parents?" Luo Feng's Mother, Gong Xinlan, asked.
"I've been alone since I was young. My parents passed away during a monster attack!" Wang Cheng replied.
"Ah?!" A hint of apology appeared on Gong Xinlan's face.
During the meal, Luo Feng and his father and son also quieted down unconsciously.
"Haha, it's okay, it's been so many years!" Wang Cheng laughed, "Aunt Gong, why don't you tell us about your family?"
"Our family?"
Mentioning this, a hint of pride couldn't help but appear on Gong Xinlan's face.
"..."
Wang Cheng listened quietly. Reading about it in a book was one thing, but hearing it firsthand was another.
Luo Feng's family of four had previously squeezed into a low-rent apartment of only 30-odd square meters. It was only thanks to Luo Feng that they could now live in the current luxurious villa.
For an eighteen-year-old young man like Luo Feng to achieve this, besides talent, his usual persistence and hard work were also extremely astonishing.
It's no wonder Luo Feng's achievements are so remarkable. He showed this extraordinary trait from a young age.
This kind of thing sounds simple, but very few people can actually do it!
Luo Feng's success cannot be simply described as "cheating"!
Because they had moved during the day, Luo Feng's family, except for Luo Feng himself, was already very tired. So Wang Cheng didn't keep them for long. After seeing them finish eating, he took the initiative to let them go back and rest.
"Luo Feng, it's fate that we can be neighbors!" Wang Cheng stood at his own doorstep, patted Luo Feng's shoulder, and continued:
"If you need anything, don't be shy, just come to me!"
"Brother Wang, I won't be polite!" Luo Feng grinned.
After seeing off Luo Feng's family, Wang Cheng stretched lazily and returned to the villa with a satisfied expression.
After spending some time together, Wang Cheng had also begun to genuinely admire Luo Feng. After all, who wouldn't like a hardworking and humble young man?
"..."
Humming a tune, he tidied up simply, then took out his newly bought game console to relax for a while.
"The Earth in this world, although it's dangerous outside the base cities, it's ultimately safe within them. Even the game industry has recovered quite well!" Wang Cheng lamented inwardly.
Enmm, as for whether Wang Cheng was satisfied with his transmigration to this extremely dangerous world with such poor talent...
He was, of course, extremely satisfied!
Before transmigrating, Wang Cheng was just an ordinary member of society, living a plain and ordinary life every day.
But now... his identity was that of a respected and envied warrior, his savings were tens of millions, he lived in a villa, ate gourmet food delivered by high-end hotels every day, played games on a dedicated high-end game console, and watched movies in a dedicated audio-visual room.
This was simply a dreamlike life. How could Wang Cheng not be satisfied?
"The only downside is that as a warrior, I have to go out of the city to fight for my life. How can someone like me, who has never seen blood before, endure this?" Wang Cheng muttered inwardly, but he quickly stopped thinking about it.
The Earth in the Swallowed Star world could be considered quite dangerous. Not to mention the horde of indigenous monsters, there was also the Kinkaku Giant Beast that almost caused world destruction later on, and then there were people from the Nuolan Mountain Clan who almost overturned the Earth.
Under such circumstances, without some strength, even if Wang Cheng befriended Luo Feng, he wouldn't feel safe.
Moreover, getting stronger can increase lifespan. Planet level beings can live for a thousand years, and becoming an Immortal means living forever without external interference!
Immortality is arguably everyone's dream. How could Wang Cheng not want to become stronger?
One must be strong to forge iron. To become stronger, one cannot rely entirely on others. So, although Wang Cheng had some reservations, he had to admit that when the time came, he would still have to go out and fight.
Currently, Wang Cheng is part of a team called the "Blazing Squad." In a battle more than three months ago, a main combatant of the Blazing Squad was seriously injured and had been recuperating during this period.
This was also the reason why Wang Cheng had been able to stay home and relax for three months!
If not for this, and if Wang Cheng still wanted to stay in the Blazing Squad, he would have had to follow them when the team was in action!
After playing games for a while to relax his mood, Wang Cheng unhesitatingly went to the training room in the villa.
The villas in Mingyue Community were all prepared by the Limit Martial Hall for warriors, so each villa naturally came equipped with a fully functional training room.
Wang Cheng coming to the training room at this time was naturally to train himself. Although he was lazy, he wasn't stupid!
When warriors go out of the city, they have to fight for their lives. Under such circumstances, how could Wang Cheng dare to slack off?
In the three months since he transmigrated, Wang Cheng wouldn't say he was diligent, but he made sure to exercise every day and maintain his condition!
However, not long after Wang Cheng stepped into the training room, a piece of unfamiliar information suddenly flooded into his mind, followed by a light blue screen that appeared in front of his body.
