Chapter 154

Feng Zhengqing?

Chen Luo quietly uttered this name.

This is a king-level big shot, a regional overlord.

He also has some promising subordinates, though they might not be at the king level, they are all level ten.

Level ten is considered among the elite of the elite.

Chen Luo remembers Feng Zhengqing as someone with a bold and generous character.

Chen Luos goal is to gather a group of elites to face the challenges of this post-apocalyptic world, and a king-level ability user is certainly worth knowing.

Lei Hao forced a smile and said, Brother Chen Luo, it was my mistake. I will give you twenty tons of rice and one ton of oil from the materials we obtained yesterday.

Chen Luo, is someone he really cant afford to provoke, even though Feng Zhengqing said hed cover for him. He doesnt want to offend Chen Luo either.

Lei Hao really wanted to give himself a slap. How could he forget to inform Chen Luo? Going against the agreement on his own is an offense.

Just at that moment, one of Lei Haos men reported with a happy tone, Boss, Feng Zhengqing and his group have arrived.

As a newcomer, Feng Zhengqing needed to gather information about the local powers and figure out whos who in the area. Even though he wasnt afraid, it was necessary to gather information.

Chen Luo was the biggest power in the vicinity, and he was incredibly high-profile. He was openly recruiting and making his presence known.

You didnt need to dig too deep to find out. Just a casual question would reveal the truth. Moreover, Lei Hao had informed Feng Zhengqing about it yesterday.

Feng Zhengqing was quite astonished, finding that Chen Luos recruiting conditions were even stricter than his.

What was even more surprising was that Chen Luo had proactively established a base outside the city. Having both strength and foresight, he seemed prepared for any contingency.

Feng Zhengqing got wind of Chen Luos arrival in the vicinity and rushed over, hoping to make his acquaintance. He was in his thirties, with a square face, and he was an affable person.

Are you Chen Luo, the one with a booming reputation? Ive just arrived, and I hope you can forgive me for any inconvenience, he greeted.

He continued, Yesterday, Lei Hao and I acquired around 600 tons of rice and other supplies. It was my mistake to seize your goods. Im willing to distribute half of it back to you as compensation, a total of 300 tons of supplies. Would that be acceptable?

Soon, the first dish was served.

They had served cucumber salad, a rather ordinary dish. However, considering the current times, maintaining the freshness of cucumbers was not easy.

Chen Luo examined the cucumber and found it remarkably fresh. It clearly hadnt expired. This surprised him. Where did these cucumbers come from? Were they grown here?

It seemed likely. Chen Luo realized that someone else had managed to cultivate vegetables earlier than he did. This discovery left him amazed, and Feng Zhengqing appreciated his astonished expression.

Next, they served a dish of sauted greens. Chen Luo cautiously asked, These vegetables were all grown here, right?

This surprised Feng Zhengqing. How did he figure that out? He didnt hide it and admitted, Yes, I grew them.

Feng Zhengqing introduced a natural element female ability user that Chen Luo had noticed before. Her name is Ouyang Lu, and she has already reached the fourth level in the natural ability. Lu, summon your grass elemental spirit for Brother Chen to see.

Ouyang Lu reluctantly muttered, Okay, as she summoned a small, palm-sized, green elemental spirit.

Chen Luo squinted his eyes, recognizing it as a grass elemental spirit. These spirits were beneficial for cultivation, which explained how they could grow these vegetables.

Growing crops was not an easy task, and many failures were involved in the process. Without the post-apocalyptic planting experience, it was challenging to achieve success.

However, having a grass elemental spirit changed the game by ensuring the survival of the vegetation to a significant extent.

Mengyins most significant ability was to improve seeds, increasing yield and survival rates. On the other hand, Ouyang Lu could ensure the survival rates of crops but was more limited in her abilities.

Think of it this way: Mengyin was like a wholesaler, while Ouyang Lu was more like a retailer. Mengyin could support and provide for an entire base, possibly even selling surplus, while Ouyang Lu could only sustain a smaller group of people.

The dishes kept coming one after another: spicy and sour potato shreds, cold noodles, stir-fried greens, smashed cucumber, sausage stir-fry, canned luncheon meat, ham, and canned mackerela balanced mix of meats and vegetables.

The meat dishes werent particularly rare, and they werent fresh, but the vegetables were indeed quite exceptional. Ouyang Lu looked at the dishes and couldnt help but swallow saliva, even though she had grown them. The yield was minimal, and she hadnt enjoyed them very often, only having a taste each time. Each time, it was only one dish.

She sighed, wondering why they were treating a stranger so luxuriously. Couldnt she have a proper meal?

But as she was there to discuss matters with Chen Luo, and Fei Zhengqing couldnt resist enjoying these vegetables either.

Fei Zhengqing smiled and said, How do you like it, Brother Chen? These vegetables are quite rare. To be blunt, you probably rarely get to taste them, right?

Fresh vegetableshow many people had the luxury of enjoying them? Fei Zhengqing felt his words were polite, but he could have said, Its nearly impossible for you to enjoy them, instead of saying quite rare. After all, without Ouyang Lu, he wouldnt get to eat these at all.

Chen Luo chuckled and admitted, Youre right; its quite rare for me to enjoy dishes like these.
