Inspector Banquet

September 1st, evening.

Inside Mingyue Residential Area, a triangular dark-blue fighter sat on the lawn, guarded by a full 30 fully armed soldiers.

Luo Feng, who was rarely dressed in a black suit, stood beside the flying fighter and looked toward the Yun He family villa.

"Bro, walk faster. We're going to be late."

Tonight was the ceremony for Luo Feng to assume the post of inspector of Jiangnan Base City.

"Coming, coming." As Yun He walked, he clumsily tied his necktie, muttering under his breath, "In both lifetimes combined, I've never worn anything this formal. Why is this damn tie so hard to tie? This suit cost me tens of thousands of yuan, and it's going to be ready for the scrap heap after just a few hours tonight."

"What are you muttering about, Bro? Hurry up and walk." Luo Feng stepped forward, dragged Yun He along, and headed straight for the fighter.

Swish~

The cabin door opened, and Luo Feng and Yun He entered the fighter. Immediately, the smart fighter began to ascend, flew out of the range of the city's defense system, and then turned into a streak of dark-blue flowing light that vanished into the horizon.

Within the large residential area where the Limit General Hall was located in Jiangnan Base City, there stood a three-story, entirely snow-white large villa building.

Tonight's banquet was held right here.

Music flowed into every corner of the great hall as handsome male and beautiful female servers served fine wine and food.

In the hall, famous figures from all circles conversed with one another.

Luo Feng was bringing Xu Xin around, and under the introduction of Hall Master Zhou Zhengyong, he met many big-shot figures.

Yun He hid in a corner by himself, eating and drinking heartily. Ordinarily, Yun He would have been too lazy to attend this kind of occasion, and even Luo Feng had only issued a casual invitation at first, never thinking that Yun He would actually go; he knew that this older brother of his was a standard homebody.

After hearing that Yun He agreed to go, Luo Feng was even deeply moved for a while, thinking that Yun He was only coming to prop up his facade.

The truth was that Yun He knew the military had an operation tonight. Taking advantage of tonight's banquet and the timing of numerous war gods being present, the military intended to prematurely trigger a marine monster beast tide to ease the pressure on the Huangpu River War Base.

By then, countless marine monsters would assault the war base, including many Lord-level monsters. Yun He thought of taking this opportunity to hunt two high-level Lord-level monsters, bringing his martial artist rating up to advanced war god, so as to secure the quota to go to the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins at the end of the month.

Under normal circumstances, wanting to hunt a high-level Lord-level monster was still quite difficult. That was because high-level Lord monsters had subordinates by the hordes, including even Lord-level underlings, and Yun He was neither a spiritualist nor could he fly.

Even if he charged alone into the monster horde, the Lord-level monster would run away upon seeing that the situation was bad. After all, high-level Lord-level monsters were not much lower in intelligence than humans.

Only during a beast tide would the chances of killing one be relatively high.

Yun He wanted to be a background figure, but many people still noticed him.

After all, he had arrived at the venue sharing the same fighter as Invincible War God Luo Feng, and Luo Feng seemed exceptionally friendly toward this young man.

Consequently, many people secretly pulled strings to investigate Yun He's background.

The result they finally arrived at contained a bit of substance.

Some people noticed a crucial piece of information in the profile: 21 years old.

Compared to Luo Feng's 19 years, an invincible war god might appear very ordinary.

But you had to look at who he was being compared against, right?

At 21 years old, he could already be absolutely considered a top-tier genius. Moreover, he was self-taught and hadn't truly joined any faction.

He merely belonged as a free martial artist under the Limit Martial Hall; if he was courted well, perhaps eight or ten years down the line, their own faction would gain yet another war god-level powerhouse.

Thus, various interested factions successively sent people to contact Yun He, and some even brought along their own daughters or granddaughters.

Yun He smiled bitterly; had he known, he wouldn't have taken the convenience of riding Luo Feng's fighter. His entrance was simply too flashy and caught people's attention.

Those factions that originally intended to court Luo Feng through political marriage saw Luo Feng and Xu Xin holding hands, secretly resented the Xu Family for plucking the peach first, and consequently turned their targets toward Yun He instead.

Since they were already here, daughters, granddaughters, and the like at home had to be married off eventually, didn't they?

Anyway, marrying a genius wasn't getting the short end of the stick.

Yun He forced a smile, giving everyone the exact same line: he only wanted to focus on cultivation, and lifelong matters were not being considered for the time being.

Everyone gathered a piece of information.

This young man was actually a cultivation maniac?

Instantly, they became even more enthusiastic.

A cultivation maniac was a good thing!

A cultivation maniac had a future, which explained why he was already advanced at such a young age.

The commotion over here even drew the attention of some big shots.

Finally, just as Yun He was finding the annoyance unbearable.

Chief Li Dawei of the military received a phone call and shouted out loudly, "What? Marine monsters launched a Level 1 beast tide? They are currently crazily assaulting the Huangpu River War Base?"

A single sentence about a marine Level 1 beast tide successfully drew everyone's attention over.

Yun He finally shook off the entanglement, letting out a secret sigh of relief while also unable to help rolling his eyes-Chief Li Dawei's acting skills really weren't very impressive.

Who present here wasn't an elite?

Even though everyone knew what was going on, a bit of acting was still required, right?

This was simply not taking the audience seriously at all.

Next, Chief Li Dawei took the stage and stated that the Huangpu River War Base was currently under immense pressure, requesting the various war gods present to help resist the marine beast tide.

Luo Feng was the first to step forward to express his support. At a critical moment, this kid was still quite reliable.

The situation was urgent, so no one said much else either, setting off one after another toward the war base to assist the military in resisting the beast tide.

After hurriedly bidding farewell to Xu Xin, Luo Feng turned his head to look around, failing to find Yun He's figure. Walking outside, he discovered that Yun He had long since been waiting beside the fighter.

"Bro, you're going too?" Luo Feng asked.

Swish~

The cabin door opened.

Yun He got onto the fighter and said, "Nonsense, your brother here is a war god after all, alright? In a scene like this, if I secretly slipped away today and people found out later on, I'd be looked down upon."

As he spoke, he took off the suit jacket he was wearing, revealing the S-Class Combat Suit underneath.

Luo Feng nodded; that was true, although Yun He's current martial artist rating was only advanced, his actual strength had long since reached the high-level war god level.

It was just that...

You came to attend my banquet, what's with wearing a combat suit underneath?

"Number One, follow the leading flying saucer fighter." After the fighter took off, Luo Feng instructed.

At the same time, the black suit on Luo Feng's body instantly flowed and shifted, quickly shrinking and disappearing to reveal the white shirt underneath.

Stripping off the white shirt, underneath was a black vest, from which one flying blade after another flew out, rapidly assembling into the Sky-Escaping Shuttle, which resembled a foot pedal.

"This is the First-Order Force Battle Suit, the Black God Set, and the Third-Order Psychic Weapon, the Sky-Escaping Shuttle!"

Yun He looked again at the S-Class Combat Suit on his own body, instantly filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Dammit, I'm decked out in complete beginner gear, yet you little punk are already half-god-geared.

Noticing Yun He's gaze, Luo Feng gave a proud, cheeky chuckle, and only then spoke with a solemn expression as he warned, "Bro, you don't have a Black God Set on you, so you'll have to be a bit careful later."

Yun He nodded. "You don't need to worry about me, just go slaughter the monsters. When it comes to saving my own skin, I have more experience than you."

Luo Feng nodded and said no more. A black skin membrane covered his entire body, rapidly transforming into the style of a combat suit, and a black helmet even appeared on his head.

All-around, dead-end-free protection.

Yun He viciously hardened his heart: he had to go to the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins at the end of September; even if he had to tear the place apart, he had to dig out a Black God Set.
