Those saved by Qin Feng were still trying to recollect themselves. The charming and slender Qin Feng came down from his hover car and stood imposingly in front of them. The badge that represented his tier hung proudly on his chest.
The letter “E” imprinted on the badge signified his exceptional strength and social status.
Qin Feng walked up and gripped the slippery python body with his bare hand. With a yank, he helped release the person entangled by it.
Qin Feng then promptly stored the beast general materials into his spatial equipment. He now had enough food materials for the next few days.
Poof!
The guy had failed to escape the python’s entrapment, despite using up all of his inner energy. He was only delaying his ultimate fate, it never occurred to him that he would be rescued.
“Thank you. I owe you my life! Cough cough!”
He spewed out a small pool of blood. A few of his rib cages were snapped but fortunately, none of his internal organs was punctured. Such an injury would not be lethal to an aptitude user. He would be fine after resting up for a week or so.
“Can you walk?” Qin Feng asked.
“Not a problem!” The guy answered hurriedly.
But Qin Feng remained cautious and shared some of his own internal force with that guy. Redness slowly returned to his pale face with Qin Feng’s help.
After that, Qin Feng walked to the SUV and pushed it with one hand. Without much effort, the large truck flipped back upright. The tires made a loud bang when it came into contact with the ground once again.
“Mister, thank you for saving our lives. Thank you!” One of the teenage girls stared at Qin Feng with admiration like he was some sort of a hero.
“It’s nothing. Leave this place at once.” Qin Feng replied casually. To him, this was nothing more than a small favor.
Those who were saved by him, however, were not ready to part ways yet. They felt obliged to thank their savior. Besides, it was not every day that they would come across someone as powerful as Qin Feng. They yearned to know more about him.
“Mister, are you going to Pingyun? I am a local there. Please allow me to treat you to a meal as a sign of my gratitude,” The guy offered sincerely.
Qin Feng looked at him and contemplated it. He then nodded, “Sure. Let me ensure you all return safely to the colony.”
At first, Qin Feng wanted to advise them to stay away from Pingyun. He swallowed his words after learning that they were residents there.
It seemed that the calamity had not befallen Pingyun yet.
They introduced themselves to Qin Feng. The F3-tier aptitude user was Qian Yuan, while the two girls were sisters—Fang Yue and Fang Ling. As for the G8 aptitude user, he was a friend of Qian Yuan’s called Guang Xiaogang. He was not a very competent fighter.
Their SUV trailed behind Qin Feng’s hover car. It paled in comparison to Qin Feng’s classy vehicle.
“E-tier aptitude user. Is he a gunner? He needed only one shot to finish off an F-tier beast general!” Fang Yue lamented.
“That’s only because he has a powerful weapon. Do you know what gun he is holding? A decomposition blaster. We wouldn’t be able to afford it even if we sell all our belongings including ourselves.” Guang Xiaogang was the one driving. He had yet to fully recover from the traumatic encounter, evident from his quivering body.
Secretly, he was not entirely convinced. It was normal to envy those with greater power. Moreover, Qin Feng’s moderate temperament did not strike him as a fearsome figure. Not to mention, he had long been having affection for the two sisters. So it was only natural for Guang Xiaogang to repel Qin Feng when he became the center of attention and drew endless compliments from the two sisters.
“He is probably not a gunner but an ancient warrior. The internal force he shared with me felt dense and vibrant. My meridian flow has become much smoother than it was before.”
This was the strength of a high-tier ancient warrior. Qin Feng had unintentionally reinforced Qian Yuan’s meridian while attending to his internal wounds. The latter felt that this was a blessing in disguise.
“Have you seen how he fit such a huge beast general into his spatial rune equipment with ease? It must be quite spacious. Furthermore, the communicator on his wrist is the latest version. That alone costs a hundred thousand. I don’t even have that much money in my savings,” Fang Ling babbled excitedly.
Fang Yue and Fang Ling had been awakened for more than half a year now. They had only reached G3-tier after training for so long, and most of their salaries had been spent on buying potions.
The two sisters had been following Qian Yuan out to the field for three months now but failed to gain much. The danger they faced today only added to their terror toward the wilderness.
Nonetheless, they felt fortunate and thrilled to have been rescued. After all, the person who saved them was none other than an E-tier aptitude user—one that was capable of leading a medium-size colony.
Pingyun was smaller than Han Town and could only be considered as a small colony. Nobody would have come to this remote place if it did not serve as an important transportation hub.
In other words, even the colony chief of Pingyun was inferior to Qin Feng.
Hence, their excitement was understandable. Knowing someone so powerful was only going to benefit them. After all, they would improve substantially if the E-tier aptitude user was willing to give them some guidance or rare items.
Soon, the two vehicles entered the colony one after the other. The houses here were not particularly new but its roads were undoubtedly broader than most large-scale colonies. People were rushing in and out of different buildings. Most of the vehicles were commodity trucks. There were also railways all around the colony.
“Mr. Qin, the tall building in front belongs to the Zhongcheng Organization. The restaurant at the highest level of the building is the best you can find in Pingyun. Let’s go there.” Qian Yuan’s voice came through the communicator.
“Okay!” Qin Feng answered back and stopped his car in front of the building.
The others came down from their car and Qian Yuan led them to the top floor using the elevator.
“Welcome!”
“Please allow me to escort you to your table.”
Qian Yuan was supposed to be the host but the waiters showed more respect toward Qin Feng. They centered their service around the latter as if he was the host. Even the main chef came out from the kitchen and asked Qin Feng what dish he would prefer.
“We have recently purchased a jungle bear and yet to remove his palm. There’s also a living sea monster delivered here fresh from Sea City. Another recommendation would be our classic fiery chicken.”
Qian Yuan gulped hearing the chef’s enthusiastic recommendation. He reckoned that this meal would punch a hole through his already thin wallet.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, paid little attention to the chef. He ordered nothing from the menu but said instead, “I have just slain a python. Make us a snake feast with its meat.”
Qin Feng skinned the snake in his spatial equipment using his conscious energy. After removing its energy core, he cut out a pierce of one-meter-long meat and passed it to the chef. That should be sufficient to make a meal for five.
“Alright. The dish will be ready in no time.”
The chef brought the meat into the kitchen and switched on the projector. Through it, they could view the entire cooking process.
Qian Yuan admired Qin Feng even more after his generous gesture. At the same time, he was a little embarrassed. “Mr. Qin, how could we use your ingredients when I have promised to treat you?”
“Don’t mention it. It ain’t much.”
“That’s right. Mr. Qin is an E-tier aptitude user so he must be very wealthy. He wouldn’t mind those few slices of meat,” Fang Yue chipped in.
“Mr. Qin, you are so strong. Are you an ability user, or an ancient warrior?” Fang Ling asked curiously as well.
Qin Feng drank his tea in silence and refused to answer their questions.
