Chapter 35 - The Arrival of the Chief Inspector

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hey, Li Feng, did you see that? That Lightning Gobzan is too brutal. Luckily, my family lives in a villa, not a tall building. Otherwise, I would be in danger. I was so close, so close that you wouldn’t be able to see me.”

The moment the call went through, Yang Wei’s incessant chattering could be heard. Although the process he was talking about was very dangerous, for some reason, Li Feng felt that this voice was asking for a beating.

He took a deep breath and interrupted, “Why are you looking for me? I’m hanging up if you want to talk nonsense.”

“Please don’t. Didn’t you say that you wanted to recruit a teammate? You said you would give me an answer today. I waited for a whole day but you didn’t call. If you can’t do it, I’ll hire a teammate with a huge sum of money.” Yang Wei quickly changed his words.

“I forgot…”

“You forgot? I can’t believe you forgot something so important. I…”

“Alright, I’ll go ask him now. Wait for me.”

With a bang, Li Feng hung up the phone. His face was slightly red. How could he have forgotten such an important matter like the college entrance examination? Then, he found Lin Ling’er’s number in the phone call list and simply called her.

“Li Feng, why are you looking for me?” Lin Ling’er was much more direct compared to Yang Wei’s long-windedness.

Li Feng quickly told him about Qin Anran. Then, he said, “How is it? Are you interested in joining our team during the college entrance examination?”

“No problem.”

After getting a reply, Li Feng immediately called Yang Wei back and told him that the problem was solved.

“Is the teammate that you found reliable? I…”

On the other end, Yang Wei was still a little worried because not everyone could withstand the threat of transfer students. However, before he could finish speaking, Li Feng hung up the phone and couldn’t be bothered to listen to him.

Then, he proceeded to open the game and enter a dungeon. He wanted to defeat Lightning Gobzan, but there was no doubt that it was hellishly difficult for Li Feng.

If the Lightning Gobzan had not mutated, Li Feng might have been able to win. However, now that the words “Difficult Level” had appeared, the result was that he died again and again in the hands of the other party.

Just like that, a week passed quickly and the date for the college entrance examination was about to arrive.

Over the past few days, the security in Chengde County had become increasingly tight. Soldiers could be seen patrolling everywhere. The ordinary citizens also knew of the danger and hid at home.

Ever since the first attack on Chengdu County by the Lightning Gobzan, in the days that followed, there had been a series of sneak attacks. From time to time, it fought with the military.

However, the Lightning Gobzan always had the upper hand and had caused considerable damage to the county. The most dangerous incident had almost implicated Li Feng. Several tall buildings on his street had been destroyed because of the battle between the two sides.

…

In a hall in Chengde County, there were five people standing there. If Li Feng was here, he would definitely recognize one of them to be the old man who tricked him into going to Jianye College.

There were two people beside Ye Buzhou. They seemed to be very close to him. They were Xu Chang, the principal of Yude No. 2 High School, and Qin Ling, the principal of Yude No. 1 High School, respectively.

As for the remaining two people, they were from the military and had quite a high status in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Swoosh!

Right at this moment, a middle-aged man appeared at the entrance of the hall. He wore a black cloak, and his gaze was like lightning as it swept towards everyone in the hall.

His eyes were extremely cold, and his expression changed slightly when he saw Ye Buzhou. “Old Ye, I didn’t expect you to be here as well.”

“Little Yuan, I didn’t expect it to be you.”

Ye Buzhou also sighed slightly when he saw who it was. “I’m the principal of this school. I’ll leave the matter of Lightning Gobzan to you.”

Yuan Zhen nodded and said, “I’m the current Chief Inspector. I’m supposed to be in charge of this matter, but I didn’t expect you to be here as well, Old Ye. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come.”

“It’s not convenient for me to take action right now. I’ll leave it to you!” Ye Buzhou shook his head and didn’t want to say anything else. Soon after, he sighed with emotion. “I didn’t expect you to become the Chief Inspector after ten years.”

The inspection department was a military organization established by the Great Xia Kingdom. It was directly affiliated to the Great Xia Kingdom. It was very powerful and specialized in dealing with the Overlords living in the suburbs.

Every Chief Inspector had to be at the Awakened Rank. Meanwhile, the lowest ranking inspector was at the Class Rank.

When the four people beside them heard the conversation between the two and saw the Chief Inspector’s respectful expression, they all felt a chill in their hearts, especially the principals of Yude No. 1 and No. 2 High Schools. They all muttered inwardly, “This Ye Buzhou isn’t simple. I wonder why he came to such a small place?”

In the Great Xia Kingdom, there were many small places like Chengde County. As long as one had some potential, they wouldn’t stay in such places.

Ye Buzhou probably had some secrets of his own, but no one wanted to pry into them.

“Great Chief Inspector, this subordinate has booked a banquet at the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion to welcome you.” Seeing that the conversation between the two had ended, Liu Jiang immediately went up and spoke.

He was the number one official in Chengde County. Of course, he might be ranked behind Ye Buzhou.

“There’s no need. Find the Lightning Gobzan and resolve the problem as soon as possible. I have other matters to attend to.” Yuan Zhen waved his hand.

Over the past few years, the Overlord creatures had become more and more active. Not only were they active in Chengde County, many other places had also been attacked. This made their entire inspection department busy.

“This…” Liu Jiang was slightly taken aback as he said with difficulty, “The whereabouts of the Lightning Gobzan are strange, so it’s very difficult for us to catch its traces.”

These few days, they had been defending passively. It was already good enough that the Lightning Gobzan did not take the initiative to come to them. After all, Chengde County did not have any spare forces to search for them.

Rumble!

Yuan Zhen frowned and was about to speak when an explosion sounded from outside.

“Sir, that should be the Lightning Gobzan attacking us.” Yuan Zhen was delighted. Normally, he would be troubled. However, when the Chief Inspector arrived, the Lightning Gobzan attacked them. The Lightning Gobzan was unlucky this time.

“Good timing.” Yuan Zhen’s expression turned cold as he charged out of the hall, taking a step forward and flying out.

Liu Jiang and the others were envious. Flying was a violation of the laws of physics. Only an Awakened-Rank player could do it.

In the sky, the Lightning Gobzan was also floating. Lightning patterns appeared on its feet. This was why it could fly.

Even among some Overlord-leveled creatures, it was very difficult to encounter such a creature that could fly.

“How bold of you to attack our county. You deserve death for your crimes.” Yuan Zhen’s expression was cold as he stood in the air. The space behind him constantly distorted as terrifying nomological auras spread in all directions.

“An Awakened-Rank player!”

The Lightning Gobzan’s pupils suddenly shrank as it had a bad premonition. The dungeon behind it quickly expanded and covered Yuan Zhen. At the same time, a bolt of lightning shot out from its palm and struck forward.

It wanted to drag Yuan Zhen into the dungeon so that it could suppress Yuan Zhen. Otherwise, with such a huge difference in levels, it would probably be reduced to ashes in a single exchange.

“What an insignificant skill.” Yuan Zhen’s gaze was cold. With a light tap of his finger, he extinguished the lightning. Then, he took a large step forwards and countless green blades flew out..
