Investing in a Promising Stock

Hearing Xu Qing say that, Luo Feng smiled. His brother-in-law was someone who made people feel very comfortable.

It can be said that the people he trusts most in this world, besides his family, are Xu Xin and Xu Qing, and they are the kind of people he can trust without reservation.

"Luo Feng, you've got a good relationship with your brother-in-law," even Babata said.

"Of course, when we leave Earth and go to space, Xiao Qing will be someone we can entrust our backs to," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Babata nodded, "That's great! The two of you joining forces is definitely a powerful alliance; you won't be at a disadvantage."

After obtaining those secret techniques, Xu Qing happily went to study them, feeling that they would greatly help his cultivation.

"Next, we need to start developing our first Clone," Luo Feng said, looking at his human body.

"Luo Feng, are you sure you want to refine this Earthling body into your first Clone? Why not choose one with a higher bloodline?" Babata felt that this was a bit of a waste.

If the Clone is powerful, it can greatly enhance combat strength.

Luo Feng shook his head. "No need, this will do."

Seeing that Luo Feng insisted, Babata stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, Luo Feng could create two more Clone in the future, and they could choose the best one then.

Time flew by and it was almost the end of December; the year 2058 was drawing to a close.

At night, on an island in the Pacific Ocean, streaks of Flowing Light rose into the sky and disappeared.

These Flowing Light are all different colors, and as they soar into the sky, they transform into different mythical beast phantoms, lifelike and vivid, as if mythical creatures have come back to life.

Where the Flowing Light shone, there was a person— Xu Qing —practicing archery against the sky.

His current shooting distance has increased from the War God's limit of three thousand meters to three kilometers, and now it has reached ten kilometers, or ten thousand meters.

This firing distance is quite far, comparable to that of a missile, but much faster, exceeding Mach 30.

In other words, within ten kilometers, Xu Qing only needs less than a second to hit the target. Isn't that terrifying?

Furthermore, as his level continues to increase, his range and rate of fire will also increase.

When things reach a certain point, no matter how far away you are, they can snipe you with a single arrow; that's what's truly terrifying.

"Luo Feng, your brother-in-law is really something else. He actually plays with such an uncommon weapon as a bow and arrow, and he's incredibly skilled at it," Babata said, both shocked and impressed as he watched Xu Qing shoot arrow after arrow into the sky.

"Haha, his archery skills are unparalleled. Even I'm not confident I can catch his arrows," Luo Feng laughed.

He has now separated a sliver of his consciousness to control his Earthling body.

At this time, his Golden Horned Behemoth body was developing its first Clone, a process that would take about a year.

Creating Clone only requires a small amount of genetic material; it's very convenient—just provide a single hair.

"However, bows and arrows are not suitable for close combat. Although his archery skills are superb and his attack power is incredibly strong, the enemy is not stupid. They won't foolishly keep their distance and wait for you to attack," Babata shook his head.

"Then let's strike first, and take them down before they get close, or even before they make a move. That's always been Xiao Qing's idea," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"He overthinks things, no, I think he's just too Mind's Eye," Babata complained.

"Haha, don't think he's weak in close combat just because he's Archer. Xiao Qing has never been weak in close combat. If you think that, you'll be fooled. He's a true all-rounder," Luo Feng laughed.

Babata was shocked. "He really is a pervert."

After a pause, Babata continued, "Now that you've possessed the Golden Horned Behemoth, you only need to consume a little metal to break through to the Star Level in a year. That way, you'll surpass him by a significant margin in terms of level."

Xu Qing is currently at the Planetary Level, and after his enlightenment, he broke through to the next level.

Originally, Luo Feng was Planetary Level, but after possessing the Golden Horned Behemoth, he only needed one year to reach the Star Level.

"Hmm, but there's still a long way to go in terms of realm. Xiao Qing already has a domain, while I've only recently reached the Conception Realm. Compared to improving my level, improving my realm is much more difficult," Luo Feng pondered.

"It's alright. Xu Qing's cultivation level is higher, but his level increase is definitely not as fast as yours. Don't forget that your teacher has prepared a lot of cultivation resources for you."

"As for the issue of cultivation level, take it slow. You're not bad either. Don't forget how powerful the Golden Horned Behemoth's talent is," Babata said without any concern.

Possessing the Golden Horned Behemoth was an invincible start for Luo Feng.

"Brother-in-law, it's no fun practicing archery alone. Why don't you come and practice with me?" Xu Qing walked over.

Luo Feng laughed and cursed, "You want to shoot me dead, don't you? This body of mine can't afford to be damaged, otherwise I won't be able to show my face in public."

"Sigh, never mind then. How about next time, brother-in-law, you can practice with me using the Golden Horned Behemoth? That should be alright, right?" Xu Qing shrugged.

"That's no problem, but my Golden Horned Behemoth body is currently developing its first Clone, which will take a year. And after a year, the Golden Horned Behemoth will be at the Star Level. Xiao Qing, are you sure you want to train it?" Luo Feng said with a smile.

Xu Qing pursed his lips, "Of course I need to practice. What's there to be afraid of at the Star Level? The Star Level is a better test of my strength."

"Alright, we'll talk about it later. You should focus on your cultivation for a year and raise your level first," Luo Feng nodded.

Then he asked Babata, "Babata, how many Wood Bud Crystal does Xiao Qing need to cultivate to the Planetary Level Nine Realm?"

"He's currently at the fourth level of the Planetary Level. If he were to cultivate to the ninth level, he would need at least several hundred Wood Bud Crystal. The main problem is that his Earthling bloodline is too low, resulting in very low absorption efficiency. There's nothing we can do about it," Babata said, shrugging.

"Luo Feng, are you going to give him the Wood Bud Crystal for cultivation? Although a few hundred crystals aren't too many, you'll need them yourself in the future, and your Earthling Clone also need to cultivate. It won't be enough if you spread it out," Babata said after thinking for a moment.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? In a few years at most, or two or three years at least, we'll be heading to space. Are we going to stay on Earth forever?"

"Once we're in space, I won't have trouble finding cultivation resources, not to mention the many things my teacher left me."

Hearing Luo Feng say that, Babata thought it made a lot of sense. Xu Qing was a promising stock, worth investing heavily in in the early stages, because the returns in the future would be obvious and would definitely be a huge profit.

"Alright, then I'll have to share some of the cultivation resources I prepared for you with him. Hopefully, once we get to the universe, we can collect more cultivation resources, otherwise we really won't be able to afford to support him, especially the Golden Horned Behemoth, that's a metal king."

"Not to mention you also have Mo Yun Vine now, who's a big eater," Babata started to feel a headache coming on.

Luo Feng's teacher Hu Yanbo, never expected that his successor would have the opportunity to possess the Golden Horned Behemoth; otherwise, he would have made much more preparations.

"Take it slow, don't try to get fat in one bite," Luo Feng said, taking a more relaxed approach and focusing on the present.

Only by managing the present well can we have a better future.

"Yes, yes, you're right, alright?" Babata rolled her eyes, as if she had been worrying about something for no reason.

Luo Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Brother-in-law, it's about time we went back. Come to think of it, it feels like it's been almost a year since I've been home," Xu Qing said after putting away the Azure Cloud Bow and thinking for a moment.

"You still have the nerve to say you haven't been home for almost a year?" Luo Feng was speechless.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? I'm just here to work. Besides, don't adults all have their own careers?" Xu Qing shrugged.

"Going to work? More like going out to play," Luo Feng said, glancing at him sideways.

"Who said that? Where did I play around? Do you know how many King Level monsters I've killed? Please call me the guardian deity of humanity, Lord Xu Qing," Xu Qing said, hands on his hips, showing no humility whatsoever.

Luo Feng turned and left, too lazy to even look at him. Only Babata said, "What a clown."

"Hey, brother-in-law, what do you mean by this? Did I say something wrong? Don't ignore me..."

"I'm home."

Subsequently, two Smart Fighter Jet took off and quickly departed.

Hongning Base City.

Xu Qing arrived in his Smart Fighter Jet to take Zhao Ruo home.

"Ruoruo, your husband is here to pick you up. Where is he?" Xu Qing arrived at the Jiangnan Pavilion and found that Zhao Ruo at home.

He sent a message to Zhao Ruo, Zhao Ruo replied quickly, saying that she had gone to hunt Lord-level Monster and was on her way back.

Just like Xu Qing and Luo Feng before, to obtain the title of High-Level War God, they need to hunt down two monsters at the High-Level Lord level.

Zhao Ruo graduated early this time, so all she needs to do is hunt down two Primary Lord -level monsters to prove that she has reached the War God Level.

Xu Qing then waited in the attic for a while.

A dozen minutes later, Zhao Ruo returned.

"Xiao Qing," Zhao Ruo hugged him tightly and kissed him several times.

"You're so enthusiastic when we meet, Ruoruo seems you still miss me a lot, Ruoruo," Xu Qing said with a smile.

Zhao Ruo rubbed his face. "What else? Alright, I've already graduated, a year ahead of schedule. I've also passed the War God assessment, and I'll be working at the Limit General Hall in Jiangnan Base City from now on."

Her rank is rated as Intermediate War God, and she could replace Zhou Yongzheng if she wanted to, but she has no such intention.

Therefore, her return to Jiangnan Base City this time is simply to serve as a supervisor, managing the affairs of the headquarters.

"That's good. By the way, where's Senior Brother Shi Jiang? I haven't seen him." Xu Qing asked.

"Senior Shi Jiang graduated last year; he has already spent five years in the Elite Training Camp," Zhao Ruo told him.

Xu Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Oh right, Senior Brother Shi Jiang came in 1953."

"But it's alright, his home is in the main urban area, we can meet up sometime," Zhao Ruo said with a smile.

"So where has he gone to work now?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

"He returned to the Military with his senior brother Chu Qiang and is working Military," Zhao Ruo said.

Xu Qing nodded. They seemed to be soldiers who had come to the Elite Training Camp for further training.

Afterwards, Xu Qing and Zhao Ruo packed their things, visited Teacher Jiang Fang again, and then left.

Back home, Xu Qing didn't say a word and immediately pounced on his favorite sofa.

"Comfortable," Xu Qing thought. He had been at sea for almost a year and had a great time, but he still missed the sofa.

Seeing Xu Qing's blissful expression, Zhao Ruo laughed, "Then why do you stay outside every day and never come home?"

"It's different, that was my job," Xu Qing argued.

"Oh? Work? Do you think we believe you?" Zhao Ruo rolled her eyes at him, blurting out her answer without even thinking it through.

Xu Qing ignored her and immersed herself in the softness of the sofa.

Qin Lin returned in the evening.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Qing? You've finally decided to come back?" Qin Lin teased.

"Linlin, what are you saying? I've always wanted to come back, okay? But when I think about all those terrifying King Level monsters in the ocean, I can only suppress my longing and keep fighting," Xu Qing said vividly.

Although he spoke as if he were very emotional, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo showed no emotion on their faces.

"Tsk, you guys are so disrespectful. Such a great atmosphere, and you don't even know how to show your appreciation. Even elementary school students are better than you," Xu Qing said, pursing his lips.

"Xiao Qing, you've been running wild outside for a while, and you've gotten quite bold, haven't you? Looks like you still need to be properly taught a lesson," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo said without saying a word, one grabbing her by the hand and the other by the foot, and carried her into the room.

Nearly a year later, the screams of a pig being slaughtered echoed through the room once again...

The next day, Xu Qing, wearing a loose-fitting short-sleeved shirt, knelt on the sofa, looking at the desserts on the table, wanting to eat them but not daring to.

Beside him, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo stood on either side, like guardians, watching him.

"Sigh, Linlin, Ruoruo, you're doing this to your husbands wrong. Studies show that forcing your husband to kneel and not letting him eat has an 80% chance of leading to divorce."

"For your own good, I suggest we lift the kneeling punishment and let me eat all the desserts on the table. That way, our relationship will be much better and there won't be any problems," Xu Qing said after thinking for a moment.

Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo both laughed. He really knew how to make things up. He even claimed to have researched the surface—who would have nothing better to do than research such a thing?

Seeing their indifference, Xu Qing's eyes darted around. "The New Year is almost here. Let's go see Auntie Chen, and we can bring Auntie Chen to the Xu Family Manor for the New Year. What do you think?"

"Okay, but we won't be staying overnight at the Xu Family Manor this year," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo knew what he was thinking.

"Ah? How could we... cough cough, it's alright, if we can't stay overnight, we can't stay overnight. How about we go see Auntie Chen now?" Xu Qing continued.

"What's the rush? Let's go in a few days when we're all ready. I've already spoken to Grandma," Zhao Ruo said, blocking the way again.

Seeing that they were determined to make her kneel and wouldn't let her eat, Xu Qing was very unhappy.

Although not eating is not a big deal for him, it is his hobby. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't eat, and it feels even worse if he can't eat what he sees.

"I think it's okay to kneel, but not to go without eating," Xu Qing said tentatively.

Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo remained silent.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Xu Qing boldly reached out to take it, but they stopped her just before she touched it.

"Hey, what are you doing? I'm really going to get angry," Xu Qing said with a stern face, giving off an expression that said, "You'd better not mess with me."

"Try getting angry!" Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo stared at him.

The next second, Xu Qing laughed, "Hehe, just kidding, don't take it seriously."
