Life Water

The status system within the War God Palace is clear and distinct, divided into three tiers: ordinary members, Council Members, and the Speaker!

Generally speaking, only those who have surpassed the War God level can become Council Members, which is the realm that Liu Yun's mortal enemy, Li Yao, finally attained.

As an intermediate War God, Liu Yun was naturally limited to being an ordinary member. After parting ways with Glinda, he quickly located the group from the Limit Dojo.

"Liu Yun!"

"Liu Yun!"

Several calls rang out in succession, and a few figures approached from the distant corner seats. Liu Yun looked over in surprise... he actually recognized these people! They were all instructors from the Limit Dojo training camp! Although they weren't his former teammates, he knew the others well enough; each of them had taught him a move or two at some point.

"Instructor Yang, Instructor Vitt..." Liu Yun called out, a smile spreading across his face as he walked toward them.

"Don't call us instructors anymore. Your strength is so high now, just call us by our names," Yang Hui said with a smile, and the other War Gods from the Limit Dojo nodded in agreement.

Since Liu Yun was not yet a core member of the HR Alliance, it meant he was free to leave at any time, which made these people treat him with extra warmth. Liu Yun, thinking that one shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket, naturally decided to chat with them for a while.

"Liu Yun, we truly didn't take good care of you when your martial arts were ruined back then! What would you like to eat? Since it's your first time here today, let me treat you as an apology."

Yang Hui smiled as he took the menu from a nearby waiter and handed it to Liu Yun. This incident had almost become a daily source of reflection and regret for the Limit Dojo. Liu Yun had suffered a broken spine and was subsequently discarded; it was truly a heart-wrenching affair.

"Oh? No need to dwell on it. I was wallowing in despair back then, and Wang Tianba and the others treated me with sincerity!"

Liu Yun responded this way. Dealing with countrymen is all about sincerity; what they did wasn't exactly absurd, and his own mental state had collapsed first.

Opening the menu, he discovered that every drink and dish was described in both Chinese and English, with prices even higher than real-world luxury goods.

"A glass of wine, nearly one hundred thousand?" "Yes, it's certainly expensive, but there's no helping it." A War God nearby sighed, "Although this is food and wine in a virtual space, it is 100% simulated, and the sensory experience is identical to eating and drinking in reality. If you aren't looking to fill your stomach, but just to savor the taste, it's worth it."

It was more about the novelty; the fact that the virtual space could achieve this level was quite remarkable.

Liu Yun looked at it, feeling a flicker of annoyance. To his Machine Race Clone, this virtual space was primitive in the extreme. If he were to set up a War Immortal Space of his own and provide better service, wouldn't he be raking in money by the day?

Of course, he couldn't do that. If he did, he would expose himself, and Li Yao and his wife would never let him off.

After chatting for a few moments, he decided to get down to business. His primary goal was the Life Water.

"Is there an auction hall around here? Is an auction going on?"

He asked Vitt, who nodded, indicating that Liu Yun was surprisingly well-informed about this place.

"There is an auction, every month. But what are you looking to buy? We can treat you to it!"

These War Gods were actually on a mission; their presence here was no coincidence. They had the budget to win Liu Yun over, so they wouldn't have to spend a cent of their own money.

"This... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

Liu Yun fell silent, but after a moment of thought, he decided to give them a chance to do him a favor. That way, he would owe them a little something!

Deepening the relationship later would be a matter of course. As long as he could repay the favor at any time, owing one was actually a good thing.

Upon hearing this, the group clamored to go to the auction hall together. They bought the Life Water for Liu Yun, and he received a small, azure-blue bottle containing the precious liquid.

He smiled, expressing his gratitude for their generosity, and then left the War God Palace, heading straight back to his villa.

That kid Luo Feng owes me a favor now, one way or another!

Liu Yun laughed wildly in his heart. Interpersonal relationships are like that—if you don't seek them out, they come looking for you.

He hadn't seen Luo Feng in a long time, and when he finally did, the man was already in the shopping mall, accompanying Xu Xin on a shopping trip.

The HR Alliance mall, located in the core area of the War God Palace, was a massive structure that integrated technology, luxury, and a futuristic aesthetic. The interior was vast, with soft, bright lighting and intelligent, adjustable LED screens embedded in the ceiling, simulating a shifting, unpredictable starry sky that made one feel as if they were standing in the vast universe.

The mall was clearly divided into sections, from high-end technology zones to rare material trading areas and trendy fashion boutiques. Each area was designed to be independent yet complementary, forming a prosperous commercial tapestry. Walking through it, one could not only feel the thick commercial atmosphere but also experience the charm of cutting-edge technology and the infinite possibilities of future life.

Xu Xin, as Luo Feng's beloved partner, wore a well-tailored dress, the hem swaying gently as if every step she took was on the cutting edge of fashion. Her attire was both elegant and graceful, cleverly incorporating current trends that made her stand out.

"Long time no see! Luo Feng, don't forget your buddy. Look what I brought you!"

Liu Yun appeared suddenly, startling Xu Xin. She hid directly behind Luo Feng, smiling like an orchid.

"Brother Liu Yun, this is..."

When Luo Feng took the bottle of azure-blue Life Water from Liu Yun's hand, a flash of undisguised excitement and gratitude crossed his eyes.

His younger brother, Luo Hua, had been paralyzed for a long time. He knew the price of Life Water and had been waiting for the day he could afford to buy it to restore his brother's body.

However, that time was agonizingly long; every second was a torment. Now that Liu Yun had brought it to him directly, he thought of his brother living with more confidence, and he found it impossible to refuse.

Luo Feng gripped the bottle of Life Water tightly, as if he were holding the hope of his brother Luo Hua's rebirth. His eyes turned slightly red, his gratitude overflowing, and his voice carried a hint of a choke: "Liu Yun, this... this is too valuable! I don't know how to express my gratitude."

Seeing this, Liu Yun smiled slightly and patted Luo Feng on the shoulder. His composure and magnanimity sent a warm current through Luo Feng's heart.

"Between brothers, why the need for thanks? Seeing Luo Hua have a chance to recover his health makes me happier than anyone. Take it and use it; don't let this opportunity go to waste."

Xu Xin stood to the side, watching the scene with gentle eyes, her own heart filled with emotion. She knew that for Luo Feng, Luo Hua's health was his greatest concern. Now that this burden was about to be lifted, she was sincerely happy for Luo Feng as well.

"Liu Yun, our Luo Family will forever keep this kindness in our hearts," Luo Feng said with great emotion, but Liu Yun glanced at Xu Xin and shook his head with a smile.

"That's too formal! I've known you both for a long time; helping you out is nothing to me!"

Since ancient times, true feelings go unnoticed, while schemes win hearts. Liu Yun appeared noble and selfless, leaving no room for criticism.

He left shortly after. He didn't know how the Xu Family planned to arrange things for Xu Xin, but he didn't care about that—he couldn't exactly make Xu Xin his teammate, could he?

He tidied up his gear and accepted a few missions, preparing to collect materials along the way to upgrade his base as soon as possible, which would finally make him a Council Member.

Shadow Crystal Core, Heart of Flame, Tyrannosaurus Dragon Tooth... what a hassle!

Fully armed, with a Crystal tucked against his chest, Liu Yun stood on the boarding ladder of his fighter jet, gazing at the vast, boundless wilderness ahead. The setting sun, red as blood, dyed the earth into a magnificent tapestry of interwoven gold and dark purple. The fighter jet's streamlined design shimmered with a cold, high-tech luster, like a beast about to hunt.

He didn't know when he would return from this trip. This time, it was less of a hunt and more of a trial, because he had always relied on his computer to "cheat," giving him movement techniques and martial arts that matched his power.

Currently, his true martial arts level was only that of an early-stage War General. He had leveled up too quickly by taking drugs, which had actually suppressed his martial growth! This time, he had the computer suppress the power within his body, intending to start from the level of an early-stage War General and hone his martial arts bit by bit against monsters.

Therefore, this journey remained extremely dangerous. Even if he were injured, as long as he didn't die, Liu Yun did not intend to lift the seal. After all, he couldn't rely on computer assistance to fight forever; he had to undergo grueling training to forge the heart of an indomitable martial artist.
