Surviving in high-level martial arts and stacking Hextech

Chapter 7 A New Job

"Clatter".

Jiang Feng shook the steel rod in his hand, and foul-smelling, dark green blood splattered on the ground.

[Kill 3 Lesser Aberrations]

[Base Strength permanently increased by 3%!]

"A great start."

With a faint smile, Jiang Feng put away the steel rod and continued walking inside.

But the further he went in, the more his brows furrowed.

Apart from the three secondary aberrations encountered at the beginning, no other monsters were seen on the outskirts of the contaminated area.

Even when he arrived at the location of the Level 2 Aberration he had encountered the day before, he was still out of the game.

The level 2 mutant wasn't here today, and considering the pitifully small number of monsters on the outskirts, Jiang Feng deduced that the enforcement team had probably conducted a cleanup of the area.

He suddenly had a headache. With his current strength, it was definitely impossible for him to go into the contaminated area. But on the outside, he could only wait to pick up scraps, which would greatly reduce his efficiency in stacking passive abilities.

We can't exactly go find a martial artist to stack up, can we?

Haha.

After much deliberation, Jiang Feng finally decided to play it safe. Picking up scraps was better than risking dying here; farming and developing his character was the real way to go!

He looked ahead—

The dilapidated neon lights overhead were blurred into a halo by the thick gray fog, and colorful ribbons of light hung between the walls like the blood and bodily fluids seeping from a dying beast.

Further in, towering steel cities can be vaguely seen twisting in the fog, like a lurking behemoth.

In the three cities of Donglin Star, each city has such a polluted area.

It is said that a hundred years ago, humans fought a war with aliens from the Sea of ​​Dark Matter on this planet. They breached the core areas of three cities and polluted them. This pollution lingers year after year, and even grandmaster-level martial artists cannot completely remove it.

Therefore, he did not choose to continue.

That's all for today.

He turned to leave, but suddenly stopped.

A woman with a cold and aloof appearance stood silently behind him like a ghost. Judging from her attire, it was easy to tell that she was the law enforcement officer here.

The first three major realms of martial arts are Body Tempering, Qi and Blood Tempering, and Illumination Realm. Except for Body Tempering Realm, which is subdivided into nine minor realms, the other two realms each have only three levels.

To become a law enforcement officer in the city, one's minimum strength must be at the early stage of the Qi and Blood Realm.

"Sir, you...hello."

Jiang Feng was startled at first, and then his heart skipped a beat after confirming the other party's identity, but he quickly calmed down.

"Hello, Jiang Feng." Liu Sujun got straight to the point.

"If I remember correctly, you were the high school student who worked for Huang Yu before, right? This isn't a place for you. If you just came here on a whim to explore, you've probably chosen the wrong place."

Tonight is a rare opportunity, and she wants to have a chat with this young man.

After all, she didn't have much time left.

"Okay...okay, I'll leave now." Jiang Feng nodded obediently.

To be honest, he's currently under some kind of protection, so he doesn't really want to get too involved with these kinds of official people.

He walked past Liu Sujun and headed outside.

Just as his figure was about to disappear into the darkness and completely disappear from her sight, Liu Sujun broke the silence.

"So, you really came here just for adventure?"

Jiang Feng paused, a hint of uncertainty flashing in his eyes.

This person didn't seem to have bumped into him during a random patrol; it was more like they came specifically for him.

What do you mean?

Amidst his flurry of thoughts, he suddenly remembered a possibility he had seen on television before.

A bold idea popped into his mind.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head. "No."

Upon hearing those two words, even Liu Sujun herself didn't realize that she had quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then why did you dare come here? Aren't these places always considered off-limits by universities?"

Jiang Feng paused for a moment before saying, "You should know about Boss Huang's situation, right?"

Liu Sujun gave a soft "hmm".

Jiang Feng sighed softly, his face showing a mixture of genuine and feigned sadness.

"Weiwei and I have known Boss Huang for almost 10 years... I was there on the day he mutated, and I personally helped him break free."

Liu Sujun didn't respond. She and Chu Gonghua had actually guessed who killed Huang Yu that day.

Jiang Feng's tone fluctuated slightly, "After killing Huang Yu, I suddenly realized something: what if one day I also become like that, because of a careless mistake, an accident, and become a corpse that dies tragically in the contaminated zone and no one cares?"

"I don't want this to happen, and I always feel like I should do something for him."

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, as if exhaling his cowardice, and said, word by word, "So for me, only here... can I become stronger."

All that remained was the whistling sound of the wind passing through, and in the distance, the low growls of the mutants could be faintly heard. Silence reigned in the darkness for a long time.

Finally, Liu Sujun's voice rang out again, this time with a touch of genuine approval in its cool tone.

"amazing."

"In that case...would you like to consider joining our enforcement team as an external member?"

.........

.........

In the rented room where Jiang Feng lived in the Lower District.

Looking at the new badge he had just received, which had a strong sense of familiarity and was decorated with a single red star, he felt no joy at all.

He couldn't help but think of the corpse he had encountered in the contaminated area on the first day. It seemed that the corpse, like himself, had joined the law enforcement team in high school.

At first, he responded tentatively to Liu Sujun, thinking that she wanted to cooperate with him in dealing with some criminals or monsters, and that he could also gain more passive advantages.

But Liu Sujun's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

That's what she said----

"Dealing with those aberrations is secondary. Of course, if you're interested, I can find someone to help you level up every time. To use the terminology from your games, I can find someone to help you level up."

"Consider it an onboarding benefit in addition to the 5 Starry Sea Coins per month."

The conditions offered by Liu Sujun were hard for Jiang Feng not to be tempted by.

With someone else backing him up, he can venture into deeper contaminated areas, where the stacking of [Transcendent Evil] will be faster and the number of layers will be higher!

Moreover, after the class assignments are next Monday, he will receive his own martial arts manual. If he wants to quickly improve his martial arts proficiency, fighting monsters is one of the best options.

"but-----"

In my memory, what Liu Sujun said next was the key point.

"That's not what we want you to do."

"What is that?"

"To go undercover."

"To go undercover?"

Jiang Feng never dreamed that this would be the answer.

"Yes." Liu Sujun nodded slightly, her expression unusually solemn. "The group you'll be infiltrating is a cult founded by people who believe in other gods. But don't worry, the mission won't be too complicated for you; it'll just be simple intelligence gathering."

"Why did you choose me?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Because of your excellent character and clean background, and the fact that you have just become a martial artist, you will not arouse suspicion. You are the most suitable candidate for an undercover agent, without exception."

"You can decide for yourself how to choose."
