Chapter 27 Encouraging Murder

The day after the act of bravery.

Xu Feng thought today would end like any other day.

But when he got off work in the afternoon, something unexpected happened to him.

"Boom boom boom——"

Xu Feng opened the door and was surprised to see two base warriors standing outside.

"Hello Mr. Xu, we are staff members of the Armed Police Investigation Bureau. These are your spoils from last night."

According to the laws of the Martial Arts Alliance, those two Eagle Alliance martial artists are criminals.

Once you defeat it, all its valuable items will become your loot.

As for how to handle it afterwards, that's up to you to decide.

"Huh? There's such a saying?"

"That's right. In addition, to reward your act of bravery, the Tianyue Martial Arts Base will award you 10 Daxia Coins and a medal for bravery."

The cash reward will be credited to your account within 24 hours. Please check your account.

As for the weapon in the warrior's hand, we will keep it for you.

If you need to use it, you can come to the Armed Police Investigation Bureau to apply for its claim.

However, this requires examination and registration, and applying for a gun license, a rather complicated process.

"Oh? Thank you so much!"

"We should be thanking you."

Xu Feng was stunned for a while before seeing the staff off.

Looking at the large bag of things laid out in front of him, he felt a little unreal.

Doesn't the Martial Arts Alliance's law encourage "killing"?

I stared blankly for a while.

Xu Feng then swallowed hard and began to carefully count the items.

He hadn't expected that these two martial artists would have so much equipment on them.

First, there is a basic C-level combat suit produced by Eagle Alliance.

This includes combat vests, arm guards, combat pants, and combat boots.

Secondly, there is a hand shield made of Grade B alloy.

In addition, there is a standard C-grade alloy battle sword and two 6-series communicators.

There is also a basic combat vest.

The moment Xu Feng saw the combat suits and shields, he felt sorry for the two warriors.

With their equipment, they offer a decent level of protection even on the battlefield of another world.

But what about them? They died in their own sneak attack.

Since both men died from headshots, their combat uniforms and shields, which were far superior to bulletproof vests, were completely ineffective.

This also served as a great warning to Xu Feng not to place too much faith in the "sense of security" that certain equipment could provide.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to knock the weapon away first, and then directly attacked the neck and head, which are weak points, then...

If he were to directly attack the opponent's body, most of the damage would likely be negated by the combat suit.

Then the outcome would not be what it is now.

There are too many factors that determine life and death in battle.

Timing, methods, weaponry, mindset, and luck can all determine life and death in an instant.

Therefore, he needs to be extremely cautious.

Xu Feng was also somewhat relieved that his strongest skill was the Grandmaster-level throwing knife.

This gave him the advantage of being able to strike first and sufficient covertness.

If any of the above points were missing, the outcome of this battle could have been different.

"These pieces of equipment must be worth at least a hundred thousand, right?"

Xu Feng had no idea about the price of combat uniforms, so he could only guess that a set of combat uniforms would cost at least fifty or sixty thousand.

Those two 6-series communicators alone cost at least eight thousand dollars.

As for that B-grade alloy hand shield, although it is exquisitely sized, it will certainly not be cheap.

He felt like he was dreaming.

"These things are all from dead people, so it's best to dispose of them together. Otherwise, I'd feel unlucky wearing them."

Although he was somewhat envious of the combat uniform, Xu Feng still felt it was best to get rid of it.

Anyway, I can buy a new one later.

However, Xu Feng underestimated the value of the combat uniform.

It wasn't until he picked up Xiao Dan in the evening and headed straight to the second-hand equipment store in the trading area that he was shocked by the price of the combat uniform.

"Compared to weapons, protective combat uniforms are very expensive."

A brand new C-level combat suit costs at least 20 yuan.

Secondhand prices are about 60% of the original price, depending on the condition of the combat uniform.

The shop owner smiled and looked at Xu Feng.

"Do you want to buy one? I have two ready-made ones here."

He looked at Xu Feng expectantly.

However, Xu Feng's heart was pounding wildly. He waved his hand and smiled, saying, "I don't have any ideas for now. Thanks."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The shop owner noticed Xu Feng's interest and quickly said, "Hey, hey, why don't you consider it? These combat suits are in high demand lately."

If you don't hurry, the price probably won't be the same in a couple of days!

"Why?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.

The shop owner patiently explained, "Hey, isn't this all caused by the Eagle Alliance warriors? There have been three small-scale conflicts in the trading area in the last two days."

I heard there was a deadly fight in the shantytown yesterday, and two black fighters died. Everyone's been talking about it lately.

I don't know which powerful person did it. It's said that the two martial artists who died were formal martial artists, junior warriors.

Imagine, if you had combat uniforms, your safety would be greatly improved.

If attacked, they're inherently invincible; wouldn't that make them highly sought after?

Xu Feng tentatively asked, "Does that mean the price of combat suits will go up again in a couple of days?"

"Of course!" the shop owner replied without hesitation.

Xu Feng nodded and quickly left, saying, "Thanks." "Sigh—" Watching Xu Feng leave without looking back, the shop owner sighed, "Damn poor bastard."

Stepping out of the shop, Xu Feng took a deep breath, a gleam of wild joy flashing in his eyes.

This is about to be released!!
Even if it's a second-hand item and the price is reduced by 60%, it would still cost 120,000!
A set costs 12, plus those two pieces of weaponry, so wouldn't he have close to 30 in his pocket?!
However, he changed his mind.

That complete combat uniform shouldn't be sold; it would be too much of a loss.

He decided to keep it for himself.

As for the rest, they can all be sold.

Although it's not as valuable as a full combat suit, it's still worth at least 100,000 yuan.

Add to that the official reward of 100,000, and that's a huge sum of 200,000!
"Gudu."

Swallowing hard, Xu Feng dragged Xiao Dan on a shopping spree in the trading area.

He bought a whole bunch of things he wouldn't normally eat, like otherworldly spiritual fruits, nutritional supplements, the meat of mutated creatures, and even some "snacks" from Earth.

After spending nearly a thousand yuan, I finally carried my bags back home.

"Dad, what holiday is it today?"

Xiao Dan, puzzled but excited, grabbed Xu Feng's hand and asked.

"No, Dad is just happy today," Xu Feng said with a smile.

"By the way, Dad, Teacher Lu seems very unhappy today."

Xiao Dan suddenly said.

"What's wrong? Is her family pressuring her to get married?" Xu Feng asked jokingly.

That woman has a high status, considerable power, and plenty of money. What could she possibly have to worry about?

Aside from pressure to get married, Hsu Feng couldn't imagine what other worries a single person of this age might have.

"I don't know," Xiao Dan shook her head, looking quite precocious. "But the teacher secretly cried and muttered to herself something like, 'You're forcing me, aren't you? Then don't blame me.' I'm a little worried."

Xu Feng patted her head and said, "Professor Lu is such an outstanding person, he will find a solution, you don't need to worry."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Dad, I want ice cream tonight."

As expected, Xiao Dan only got serious for a couple of sentences before revealing her true purpose.

Xu Feng laughed and said, "Okay, I can have three bites tonight."

"Yay!" Xiao Dan immediately forgot her worries.

This wasn't the only thing that surprised Hsu Feng.

When the father and daughter returned home, chatting and laughing all the way.

They found Liu Yu standing outside the door with a bag of fruit, chatting casually with her neighbor, Xiao Pang.

Today, Liu Yu wore a light white floral dress, and her whole demeanor exuded a youthful and fresh vibe.

Seeing Xu Feng approaching, Liu Yu greeted Xiao Pang with a smile and then walked towards Xu Feng.

"Brother Xu! Xiao Dan, you're back."

Liu Yu walked over with a smile, handed the fruit to Xu Feng, and then picked up Xiao Dan from the ground with a smile.

"Little girl, you've gained weight again!"

"Sister Liu Yu!" Xiao Dan happily hugged her and winked at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng chuckled speechlessly, then nodded to the chubby Wang Long: "Little Wang, have you eaten? If not, come over and have something to eat?"

Wang Long quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I have an appointment tonight, you guys are busy."

Xu Feng nodded and said, "See you later."

He then opened the door and went inside.

After the three of them had all gone inside, Wang Long looked at Xu Feng's house and sighed, "Old Xu's good fortune is truly something to be envied."

Then, with a mournful face, he said, "I wonder when a girl will throw herself at me."
I should be more popular than a forty-year-old man, right?

Liu Yu had indeed come to thank Xu Feng for saving her life.

Of course, she wasn't overly polite, nor did she say anything strange.

She simply rushed to cook for Xu Feng, tidy up the bed and room, and also gave the little girl a bath and dried her hair.

Looking at the newly renovated house, Xu Feng could sense that the girl's attitude towards him had changed.

However, he wasn't in the mood for that right now, so he didn't say anything more.

The three of them had a simple meal, and Xu Feng offered to take Liu Yu home this time.

"It's so late, let's just forget about it. After what happened last night, there shouldn't be any danger for the next few days."

Liu Yu shook her head and said resolutely.

She didn't want to use this kind of thing to gain people's sympathy.

However, Hsu Feng insisted: "Let's go, it's good to digest after dinner, I'll give you a ride on the way."

"Well, alright then." Liu Yu smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Sister, hug me!" Xiao Dan said with a smile, hugging Liu Yu's neck and climbing up.

Liu Yu picked her up and looked at Xu Feng: "Is it okay?"

"Let's go." Xu Feng nodded and went out the door first.

After walking for a while, the road was indeed much quieter tonight.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, making one feel quite lazy.

Xu Feng cautiously observed his surroundings while saying to Liu Yu, "I was just helping someone out last night, so you don't need to feel guilty."

"I know, I just wanted to do something to express my gratitude," Liu Yu said softly, holding Xiao Dan in her arms.

"That's good. I was really worried you might do something irrational."

The three of them walked side by side on the path.

Xu Feng felt a sense of peace that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

If life were just this peaceful, that would be fine.

Unfortunately, the dangers of this world don't allow people to remain in peace for long.

None of the three noticed.

Somewhere on a street corner.

Lu Fei stood in the shadows, holding a bottle of wine in her hand.

Watching the figures, which seemed to resemble a family of three, gradually disappear into the distance.

She sighed softly, then turned and left.
