Lin Feng had planned to ask Niu Niu to find a way to eliminate the variant of the Thousand Illusion Coca Virus after this incident. His experience in the “Fantasy World” had left a profound impact on him. He never imagined that the God Creation Project, well-known in the world of super-powered individuals, would one day be ignited by him in the virtual network space. He had truly experienced the madness and terror of these mysterious groups. Now, coincidentally, he had lost the opportunity to actively communicate with Niu Niu. If the variant of the Thousand Illusion Coca Virus wasn’t eliminated in time, when these fanatical groups gathered again, there would be no possibility of repeating his solo massacre of hundreds of thousands of players in the Muhanla Miracle Dungeon. He didn’t want to become the target of another mass attack in the game space after these mysterious players collectively soul-traveled into the game. He wasn’t sure if being killed in the virtual space would affect his physical body in the real world.
When intercepting the communication between Teng Lan Ji Yuan and the forces behind him, Lin Feng felt an overwhelming pressure. The energy of the forces backing Teng Lan Ji Yuan was immense, evident from their reaction to the mention of a $10 billion compensation claim. According to the spokesperson of these forces, not only would they not mind paying $10 billion, but even adding a couple of zeros would be no big deal. Their only requirement was to establish good relations with Marumi Corporation, especially with this young genius, at all costs. This was the main reason why Teng Lan Ji Yuan suddenly changed his attitude.
Teng Lan Ji Yuan was a master of ninjutsu, an upper ninja, which in terms of rank was equivalent to someone like Qin Jian, a rare individual among billions, capable of reaching the ninth level of super-powered status. Lin Feng, with the help of Niu Niu’s extraordinary artifact, had his abilities fluctuating between the sixth and seventh levels of super-powered individuals. This was largely due to the special equipment Niu Niu had helped him refine, consisting of the Swift Wind Boots, Ocean Star, and Earth Spirit Shield, all synthesized from items in the game space. He still didn’t know the name of this set of equipment, only that since equipping it, he had gained the ability for his body to automatically regenerate, his mental strength far surpassing that of ordinary practitioners, and his agility and speed, which were his fortes, had steadily improved.
Lin Feng knew that with his reputation, he could no longer live a secluded life. Through various twists of fate, he had been crafted into the image of a naturally awakened super-powered individual, an identity impossible to erase. Moreover, his other, more helpless identity as a super hacker and a tech genius with the world’s most advanced virtual terminal technology, was even more renowned and inescapable. Especially after today’s encounter with Teng Lan Ji Yuan, revealing his super-powered identity, his previously only domestically watched status would now be exposed in the real world of super-powered individuals.
From now on, he could no longer lurk in the shadows, living the carefree life of a wandering prodigal son he had always yearned for. Moreover, even if he had the chance to escape to some remote corner of the world, his family, his friends, and all his attachments were currently under the vigilant protection of relevant authorities. His mother, who had miraculously rejuvenated by over a decade, his father who worked far away, his sister Xiaoman, the old man Wang who taught him the art of cultivation, Xiaoyun’s parents, and Xiaoyun herself, who had mysteriously disappeared—all these ties bound him. How could he simply walk away? If he wanted to break free from all these shackles, there was only one way: to become powerful, to possess a strength so formidable that no one could take him lightly. Only then could he stand before those who wielded immense power and discuss what fairness really meant. As Qin Jian once said, shouting for fairness is merely the slogan of the weak! And this world has never known true fairness. When an elephant and an ant discuss fairness, even if the ant gets a fair chance to compete, wouldn’t it still be effortlessly crushed by a single hair of the elephant?
All these negative thoughts were swept from Lin Feng’s mind in an instant. He exhaled lightly, closed his eyes, and soon entered a state of deep meditation, beginning his daily rigorous training.
Snap!
Outside the office window, several mysterious figures swiftly descended from the rooftop using ropes, lurking outside the wall near the window. One of them, spider-like, adhered to the large tempered glass, performing a rapid 360-degree maneuver, then suddenly sprang outwards. The snap was the sound of this figure launching himself. At the same time, the other figures charged towards the window.
Without any further noise, these shadows quickly vanished into the building. It turned out that a bizarre, large circular hole had appeared on the tempered glass wall.
These seven or eight shadows leaped into the building and immediately concealed their traces. But in a blink, they appeared around Lin Feng. An invisible net was cast over Lin Feng, who was seated in his chair. As the net descended, other black-clad figures spread out, blocking any possible escape routes for Lin Feng.
An odd vibration filled the air, and the invisible net glowed with a strange light, accelerating and contracting towards Lin Feng. Just as it was about to capture him, Lin Feng’s figure suddenly vanished. The next second, his shadow appeared beside several of the black-clad figures in the room.
Puff, puff, puff—a series of strange sounds followed. Before these figures could react, they had already fallen to the ground, silently killed by Lin Feng in the blink of an eye.
“A few petty thieves dare to target me for kidnapping? Humph!”
After swiftly dealing with the intruders in his office, he didn’t hesitate, darting out through the large hole in the window, mercilessly eliminating another enemy who was waiting outside. Then, he grabbed one of the ropes hanging from the rooftop, and with a slight exertion, his figure soared like a great bird, landing on the rooftop in the blink of an eye. There, a few more enemies awaited news, but before they could react, Lin Feng struck like lightning, dispatching these annoying pests.
From his sudden counterattack inside the office, to killing the enemy outside the window, to climbing the rope and eliminating the foes on the rooftop, the entire sequence was seamless, taking only a few breaths.
Even as he killed the last enemies on the rooftop, the sound of glass and a body falling from outside was just beginning to echo.
The sky was just darkening, and inside the headquarters of Marumi Company, almost everyone’s attention was captivated by a sensational news story due to a large number of media reporters. Hence, the usual security personnel were not on duty. It wasn’t until the loud crash of glass breaking below that someone finally rushed out.
Several wisps of black smoke curled up from the rooftop, and the bodies on the ground disappeared in an instant. Even the slightest trace of blood left by the deceased turned into wisps of black smoke and vanished into the air.
Hearing the commotion from below, Lin Feng knew that someone would soon investigate here. However, he was not worried about any traces being discovered; anyone he killed would turn into black smoke and disappear within moments.
“Why are there always so many annoying flies?” Lin Feng thought, looking down at the crowd below, now as small as ants. He felt a slight melancholy.
Fifteen system notifications rang out in his mind, indicating that fifteen more lives had been extinguished by his hand, adding fifteen more missing persons to the world.
