Chapter 155

Chen Luo indeed couldnt have such a meal.

Look at this stir-fried vegetables. The stems of the vegetables werent even thrown away, and they were all cooked together. Is this an acceptable practice?

As for this canned mackerel, the strong fishy smell hits your nose as soon as its opened.

The hot and sour potato shreds clearly had too much oil, did they inherit my skills? Is oil free?

Its far from the culinary skills of Ma Yu. In such a large base, they couldnt find someone with good cooking skills?

Chen Luo shook his head, even the dog shook its head when it saw it.

Chen Luo suddenly exclaimed, This ham, it looks like someone took a bite from it. Was it eaten and then served again?

The smiling face of Fei Zhengqing, as hes often called, suddenly changed. This ham was a prized item, unopened, so how could it have been bitten?

Did a chef sneak a bite while cooking, or was it someone serving the food who did this?

Could it be a pig? Who leaves such obvious bite marks?

Fei Zhengqing was furious, but Chen Luo was present, so it wasnt suitable to pursue this matter now. He suppressed his anger and said, Maybe there was a rat. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Come, my friend, eat. Even though there was a rat, we cant waste such precious food.

Chen Luo chuckled, not wanting to deprive himself of anything. These dishes were so uninspiring; he had no desire to eat them.

Chen Luo wasnt worried about poison. What kind of poison could harm him?

He shook his head and said, Brother, you invited me over and prepared such a feast. There must be a reason. What is it?

Seeing that Chen Luo was getting straight to the point, Fei Zhengqing didnt beat around the bush and replied, I just arrived from Cloud City. To put it boldly, I am the overlord of Cloud City. No leader of any base dares to defy me, so its safe to say I have absolute power there.

Chen Luo smiled, recognizing that with Fei Zhengqings talent, which was likely at least five levels, and the strong group of followers he had gathered, few would be his match.

Fei Zhengqing chuckled, How could that be? Were not enemies, my friend. If youre concerned, we can build a wall in the middle of the base to separate it.

Chen Luo firmly refused, Unless theyre my people, nobody else is allowed. When it comes to an alliance, it means following my lead. Otherwise, theres no point in discussing it.

Fei Zhengqings expression darkened, In an alliance, its about following the stronger one, my friend. Youre being too arbitrary.

Chen Luo felt disappointed. Trying to win over capable individuals whove tasted leadership is indeed challenging.

Chen Luo had mentally prepared himself for this outcome, but he couldnt let the opportunity slip by. After all, Fei Zhengqing was a prospective king-tier. But the fact that he had his sights on Chen Luos base meant he couldnt stay.

Chen Luo chuckled lightly, Oh, really? Do you believe your strength surpasses mine?

Fei Zhengqing smiled with confidence and said, My friend, even though you have a bit more manpower, having more people doesnt necessarily mean youre stronger. Im quite confident I can annihilate your base by myself. To be honest, I advanced to Level 5 over a month ago.

He continued, Facing your entire base head-on, I admit I might not achieve it. But as long as I wear you down slowly, killing dozens of your people every day, your forces wont be able to stop me. Sooner or later, Ill grind you down.

Level 5 was undoubtedly formidable, but it was impossible for a Level 5 to defeat five hundred Level 3s. Even though it might exhaust him, it was clear that Level 3s couldnt hold back a Level 5.

Especially being a Wind user, huh? Chen Luo sneered. Is this a threat?

Level 5 impressive? The Thunderbolt King reached Level 5 over a month ago, while Mi Ling, Su Dazhu, and others also reached Level 5 about a month ago.

Half a month ago? This supposed Level 5 is nothing special.

A smile appeared on Chen Luos face. Should he choose a moonless, stormy night and send his dog assassins to eliminate Fei Zhengqing? That would greatly reduce the difficulty of subduing his followers.

Although hed used this method before, it had always worked perfectly.

However, to Chen Luos surprise, Fei Zhengqing proposed, My friend, you seem unsatisfied. How about we have a duel, 3v3? Each side sends three members, best of three, two wins out of three determine the winner. Whoever wins will have the final say. What do you think?

Or, you could just join us directly.

In this post-apocalyptic world, the strong reign supreme, and the weak have no right to be leaders. Fei Zhengqing wanted to showcase his own strength and demonstrate the abilities of Ouyang Lu. With strength, a steady food supply, and a strong selling point, who would the other side choose? People are naturally loyal to those who can offer them a better life.

In light of the heavy casualties involved in a direct confrontation, Fei Zhengqing devised this plan as he believed it to be a winning combination, with his strength and an ace up his sleeve.
