Xu Xin

"Luo Feng!"

Just as Luo Feng was lost in the music, a crisp, gentle voice filled with surprise rang out. Luo Feng, who had been lying on the sofa, jerked his head up as if struck by an electric shock.

A few meters away, a young woman in a white shirt and black suit trousers was looking at him with a beaming smile.

"Xu Xin?"

Only then did it suddenly occur to Luo Feng that the original story had mentioned how Xu Xin worked as a manager at this HR Alliance headquarters every weekend during her university years.

After graduating, Luo Feng had been training every day and then spent a month in the Wilderness Zone, so he had naturally long forgotten what day of the week it was.

At this moment, their eyes met.

Both Luo Feng and Xu Xin felt a jolt, as if struck by electricity, and a flutter of excitement stirred in their hearts.

At the same time, the beautiful waitress who had just misunderstood Luo Feng walked over carrying a cup of tea.

Seeing their beautiful manager, Xu Xin, looking so pleasantly surprised by Luo Feng, she couldn't help but feel astonished.

This young lady had turned down countless wealthy young heirs.

Could there be something special about the man in front of her?

Aside from being a bit handsome, having deep eyes, an outstanding temperament, and looking a bit like a protagonist in a novel, he didn't seem like much.

The beautiful waitress left after delivering the tea, leaving this small corner of the world to Luo Feng and Xu Xin.

"Luo Feng, why are you here?"

Xu Xin snapped back to reality and, noticing that Luo Feng was still staring intently at her, felt her face flush slightly as she quickly changed the subject.

"I'm a powerful martial artist, so why wouldn't I be here?"

Luo Feng said with a smile. His immense strength gave him confidence, and he couldn't help but tease Xu Xin.

Looking at the young woman before him, Luo Feng couldn't help but recall his high school days, when he would sit at the back of the classroom, silently watching Xu Xin's back day after day... He had harbored a secret crush for a long time but never found the right moment to speak.

He had felt back then that Xu Xin likely had feelings for him, too.

It was an intuition, and Luo Feng trusted that his intuition was usually correct.

Of course, after absorbing the memories of "Luo Feng," he was even more certain that Xu Xin had been interested in him.

"Ah, Luo Feng, you're already a martial artist? No wonder you, the Top Scorer of College Entrance Exam, didn't go to university."

Seeing Luo Feng's attire, Xu Xin exclaimed in pleasant surprise.

When they first graduated, because Xu Xin's grades were also excellent, she had thought Luo Feng would choose the same school as her, only to hear later that he was going to take the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment.

"Yeah, I just got back from the Wilderness Zone and am planning to sell some materials. Since you're here to handle my transaction, I'll let you take the commission. You'll have to treat me to a meal later."

Luo Feng said with a smile.

"You've already been to the Wilderness Zone?"

Xu Xin's expression shifted slightly. She wasn't happy about the commission; instead, she began to worry about Luo Feng.

Across the entire world, all land outside the Base City is collectively known as the Wilderness Zone.

For humans living within the Base City, the Wilderness Zone is synonymous with a forbidden death zone, teeming with all kinds of monsters.

There are those that are insidious and strange, others that are powerful and savage, and many that are nearly invincible.

In such a place, only the "martial artists"—the strong among humanity—dare to venture out and battle the monsters.

Xu Xin hadn't expected... that Luo Feng would head to the Wilderness Zone the moment he became a martial artist.

She felt that Luo Feng was being far too reckless.

As for Luo Feng, Xu Xin knew he had a bit of a crush on her... in fact, such things were impossible to hide.

Luo Feng would often sneak glances at her back during class, and whenever Xu Xin turned around, she would naturally catch him staring; it was only natural that she understood his feelings.

Xu Xin had always been relatively close to him, which was, in itself, a fairly obvious indication.

It was just that neither of them had ever broken the silence.

Seeing the change in Xu Xin's expression, Luo Feng roughly guessed her thoughts and offered some comfort.

"Don't underestimate me. I was recruited early by the Limit Martial Arts Hall, and I'm also a powerful Spiritual Telekinetic. The monsters in the wild are nothing but grass and dirt to me. Look, I came back from the Wilderness Zone without a single scratch."

As he spoke, Luo Feng stood up and spun around twice in front of Xu Xin.

Luo Feng didn't tell her directly that he was already invincible on Earth; saying that might have backfired, as no normal person would believe it.

"Pfft~~"

Seeing Luo Feng act this way, Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't expected that the usually serious Luo Feng could have such a cute side.

But inwardly, she was secretly shocked; she hadn't realized that Luo Feng was actually a rare Spiritual Telekinetic.

"Alright then, my great martial artist. Go ahead and get your monster materials. I'll wait here for you. Let me see how many monsters the great Spiritual Telekinetic, Lord Luo Feng, has slain."

Xu Xin quickly regained her composure and said playfully.

Seeing that Luo Feng had nothing on him, Xu Xin assumed that he hadn't brought his items in yet.

"No need to go out and get them, watch me perform a magic trick for you."

As soon as Luo Feng finished speaking, a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf tooth, a full half-meter long, appeared directly in his hand.

Looking at the object that had suddenly appeared in Luo Feng's hand, Xu Xin was completely stunned.

"Believe me now? Let's go, we can't exactly conduct our business here."

With that, Luo Feng put the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf tooth away again.

Since there weren't many people in the lobby at the moment, no one had noticed this scene.

But even after Luo Feng spoke, Xu Xin remained motionless.

Looking at Xu Xin's dazed expression, Luo Feng had the urge to reach out and pinch her delicate, flawless cheek.

However, their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, so Luo Feng could only wave his hand in front of Xu Xin.

"You... the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf tooth? And a Space Ring?"

Xu Xin finally snapped back to reality, but her head was still buzzing from what she had just witnessed.

Because she had seen it very clearly: the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf tooth had appeared out of thin air and vanished just as abruptly.

Could it be that Luo Feng possesses a legendary Space Ring?

After all, this world contained many ancient ruins, and Hong was known to possess a Space Ring, a fact he hadn't hidden from others.

Therefore, people from major families, and even many War Gods, knew that such items existed in this world.

But for Luo Feng to reveal it so casually in public was still far too dangerous.

One must remember that an innocent man may be guilty of a crime simply because of the treasure he carries; if others were to see this, Luo Feng would be in danger.

Xu Xin hurriedly scanned her surroundings, relieved to find that no one was paying attention to them.

"Come on, let's hurry to a private room upstairs."

Saying this, Xu Xin nervously pulled Luo Feng toward the upper floor; to any onlooker, they looked exactly like a couple deeply in love.

"Hmm, who is that boy with Xiao Xin?"

Just as Xu Xin was leading Luo Feng toward a private room on the second floor, a young man who had just walked into the HR Alliance of Jiangnan Base frowned slightly.

"It looks like Xiao Xin's high school classmate, Luo Feng. I heard he was the Top Scorer of College Entrance Exam and is preparing to take the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment. Could it be that he's already a martial artist?"

This young man was none other than Xu Xin's brother, Xu Gang, and most of what he knew about Luo Feng came from his sister, Xu Xin.
