Chapter 369: Chapter 357: Wrapping Up and Reorganizing, Locking Doors and Procedural Justice, ’Troublemaker’ Chu Feng Makes Another Contribution, With Reservations
Having walked a great distance, Chu Feng turned his head to look back at the Demon Clan’s camp, which had turned into a wasteland. He pulled out his information terminal, marked the location as [Cleared] on the map, and sent it to Secretary Wang to call for a cleanup crew.
The campsite teeming with the corpses of high-rank members of the Demon Clan was a treasure trove for humans, equivalent to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, convertible into a substantial amount of military merits.
The flesh of junior Demon Beasts, once detoxified, could also be used as food to nourish martial artists of lower realms. It must not be wasted.
Cleaning, a simple and tedious task, was something Chu Feng was unwilling to do. He preferred leaving it to the warriors of the Demon Extermination Army, allowing them to earn some extra benefits and military merits.
The benefits were to be shared, bringing a win-win situation for everyone involved.
After handling the post-battle tasks, Chu Feng leaped into the air, carrying the severed heads of Od, Mei Wa, and their subordinates in his Grotto Heaven, flying toward the Demon Extermination Army’s base, utterly exhausted.
In the battle against Od, he had employed every trick he had, almost completely depleting his True Force and Physical Strength.
In moments of crisis, he had even used some of his Attribute Points obtained from poisoning numerous members of the Demon Clan.
The final use of "Dimension Walker" drained almost all of his spiritual power, barely managing to execute it.
Now, his Vitality, Energy, and Spirit attributes had dangerously plummeted. He felt somewhat faint, dizzy, and weak in his limbs.
However, the eventual result was quite satisfying.
When the dust settled, Chu Feng had earned a total of 421 Attribute Points.
’That’s too little!’
Chu Feng was not pleased with these numbers, as the previous destroyed camp, smaller in scale and with fewer Demon Beasts, had yielded more.
Moreover, last time, his poisoning skills had not been perfect, and the venom wasn’t strong enough. Most Demon Beasts did not die instantly after consuming it.
Some were exterminated by the Demon Extermination Army, which arrived soon after and besieged them.
Yet, some, in their frenzied flight, had accidentally escaped to areas that the Demon Extermination Army had not secured and broke through the encirclement.
Therefore, by the number of killings alone, he had slaughtered at least a third more Demon Beasts this time!
But the Attribute Points earned were only a quarter of the last time’s.
’Although I was mentally prepared, knowing this time wouldn’t yield as much as last time, having three-quarters less is still unexpected!’
Chu Feng shook his head helplessly. This was the price to pay for breaking through the Circulation of Qi.
But without breaking through, during last time’s encounter where Lin Zonghong and Zhang Ming attacked, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat them.
Both were early-stage Yin Yang Realm martial artists, surpassing the limits of his abilities in the Everlasting Realm, even in the "Law of Heaven and Earth" state.
He had had no choice but to increase his Realm.
’It’s okay, I’ll just raid a few more camps. To each according to his work, let the capable do more!’
Comforting himself thus, he began planning on the flight back about where to start enhancing once he returned.
...
As Chu Feng arrived at the base, Secretary Wang had already sent an assistant to meet him at the door.
At this moment, the civilian worker looked at Chu Feng with a hint of fear in his eyes, appearing hesitant and cautious.
"Captain Chu Feng, welcome back! You have worked hard. I’m Shen Lai, assigned to the reception department of the military region’s secretariat, specially sent by Secretary Wang to welcome you.
"Do you wish to meet with Secretary Wang first?"
He gave Chu Feng a military salute.
Chu Feng returned the salute, then smiled and said, "Don’t be afraid, I’m not some ruthless killer. I’m quite easy-going.
"No need to see him now. Arrange a rest room for me. I need a good night’s sleep and some time to seclude myself for a while."
Shen Lai’s expression relaxed slightly, but he still seemed somewhat afraid.
He gestured with his hand and said, "Everything has been prepared as you requested, please follow me."
"..."
Shen Lai led Chu Feng to a sturdy-looking bungalow outside, and said somewhat awkwardly to Chu Feng:
"Captain Chu, I’m sorry, given your circumstances as a criminal, although you have been transferred here, you can only reside in the designated area, which is the room behind me."
"Additionally, you are not allowed to enter or exit without permission, and violators will be treated as attempting to escape, which could result in an increased sentence. Please be cautious."
Chu Feng nodded in understanding, pushed open the door, took a glance at the interior furnishings of the room, and smiled, "It’s fine, it’s reasonable, and this place is very quiet. I’m quite satisfied with it."
"That’s good, please rest well!"
Shen Lai sighed with relief, invited Chu Feng into the room, then placed a large lock on the door and sealed it with two strips.
Of course, everyone knew that the brass lock and the seals on the door were merely for show. If Chu Feng wanted to leave, he could break them with a flick of his finger.
But these formalities were necessary as without them, there would be no justice.
...
Chu Feng pushed open the door and entered the room, ignoring the sound of the locking behind him, and wandered around, taking a look at his surroundings.
A bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, and a cultivation warning room—that was the simple layout of a single-person dormitory.
The room’s furnishings, including the bed, coffee table, and chairs, were old but clean and sturdy, ready for use without any need for tidying up.
On the bed, there was a set of military green three-pieces that had been washed to a slight fade, emitting a faint sunshine fragrance.
Chu Feng walked into the cultivation room, knocked on the obviously much thicker walls, and nodded with satisfaction.
’The walls are solid and soundproof; I don’t have to worry about being disturbed, which is good. Additionally, the room is full of vital energy, seem, punt on wanting to gather heavenly and earthly vitality.’
Chu Feng stroked his chin, curiously surveying the area for a while, but didn’t find anything special.
He couldn’t be bothered to care further, confirming that there were no surveillance installations in the room, and then directly sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion on the floor, pulled up the Attribute Panel, and prepared to allocate Attribute Points.
Just then, his communication terminal suddenly chimed.
He slightly raised an eyebrow, answered the call, and Commander Lin’s face immediately appeared in the holographic image, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum:
"Kid, not bad, securing a camp for me in just five days? Letting you out to wreak havoc on the Demon Clan was truly the right move!"
Chu Feng rolled his eyes, "Commander Lin, you shouldn’t be careless with your words. How have I wreaked havoc?"
Lin Zhong scoffed coldly, "Careless? I, Lin, have lived for so many years and haven’t encountered anyone more troublesome than you!"
"If you were part of the Demon Clan or Demon Clan, even in my dreams, I would have to keep my eyes open for fear that one night you might stealthily take my head!"
Chu Feng touched his head and laughed, "I’ll take that as a compliment then!"
"Shameless."
Lin Zhong joked with a scolding smile, "Just finished a big job, rest a few days, wait until the boys cleaning the battlefield return to calculate the military merits.
"If you have other items that can prove your achievements, you can hand them over to the guy who brings you food, and have him turn them in to the logistical office."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng initially wanted to pull out the huge head of Clan Leader Od of the Scorpion Tail Lion, directly telling Lin Zhong that he had completed his task, having just killed a Scorpion Tail Lion about to ascend to the Hunyuan Realm.
A demon of this realm was equivalent to 100 warriors of the Cave Heaven Realm.
But then he retracted this impulse, smiling, "I’ve got some heads of Junior Rank Demon Clan, I’ll hand them over later."
He still had some plans unfinished. If he turned them in now and fulfilled his sentence, he would have to leave the battlefield.
And returning to the frontlines afterward would not be so easy.
Lin Zhong, suspecting nothing, nodded and said, "Okay, message delivered. Rest well. If you want to go out, find Secretary Wang."
Without waiting for Chu Feng’s response, he "snapped" off the call.
