Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

"Vice Chairman Feng, you don't want your romantic secrets to be known, do you?"

Zuo Chang had wanted to say this for a long time!

He turned his hand and grasped Feng Gu's hand: "Of course!"

"Then, you will join the team as a 'prospective member'. All the loot you acquire during the adventure will be yours, and you can also earn 'contribution points' from the game according to our rules and regulations—but you will not be able to exchange for items in the team reward pool until you become a full member, okay?"

Zuo Chang didn't care about contribution points at all.

He nodded immediately and said, "Okay."

As the two were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded.

Zuo Chang looked back and saw that Xi Rihong was radiant and that Brother Man's legs were weak as they both came to the living room.

Feng Gu saw her and asked, "Are you done?"

"Ah."

The sun rose red nodded, her voice sweet and charming.

Zuo Chang asked in surprise, "So fast?"

Brother Man's expression turned serious, and he said, "I'm not feeling well today; I'm not usually like this."

"???"

How long has it been?

Was it about five minutes in total?

Zuo Chang really wanted to say that this money was quite easy to earn, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Kurenai asked, "Man-ge and I are going out to eat, are you coming?"

Zuo Chang quickly shook his head: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry..."

Feng Gu also said, "I need to review tomorrow's route, so I won't go."

"Ok."

With her arm linked with that of her older brother, Yuhi Hong walked out, swaying with each step.

Zuo Chang looked at their loving backs and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Zuo Chang's strange expression, Feng Gu asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Zuo Chang didn't answer, but said, "I'm going out for a walk too. I left in such a hurry that I didn't bring any change of clothes... Do you sell adventure outfits at the outpost?"

Feng Gu nodded: "Yes, I've been wanting to ask this for a while—is that blood on your clothes?"

It was indeed blood.

Zuo Chang had previously cleaved a man in two with a single sword strike, splattering half of his body with blood. Fortunately, adventurers are used to life and death, and Feng Gu and the others were not too surprised to see this.

Zuo Chang remained expressionless: "I was ambushed by a demon, and I got splashed with water during the fight."

Feng Gu smiled slightly: "Change your clothes before going out. Lao Man is about the same size as you, I'll go get you a new outfit."

Zuo Chang had no objection: "Thank you for your help."

Thank you for the generous donation from "Master Helps Ni Quit Smoking," and thank you to reader 20230106140252365 for the eight generous donations...

We've never met before, yet this great trust and encouragement has deeply moved me. I'm speechless with gratitude!

If you have any requests, just say them here.

After it's released, I'll add 24 chapters each time. I think adding three chapters for each patron is a bit too little, and adding them gradually isn't very satisfying, but it's just too much.

The sect leader who received a reward from Bei Mo 44 and the helmsman who received a reward from A Ji will also receive extra chapters. I will specify this in the title.

I am filled with trepidation and have worked tirelessly to prepare this draft.

Chapter 58 This Marvin is really persistent!

The base not only has clothing stores, but also several others.

Zuo Chang, dressed in rather inappropriate clothes, casually walked into a shop and said, "Boss, I'd like to buy an adventure outfit."

The boss glanced at Zuo Chang—

Four realms!

Looking at Zuo Chang's face again, he looks extremely young!

To reach the fourth realm level at such a young age, one must come from a wealthy family. In that case...

The shop owner took out the most expensive garment in the store and said, "Sir, what do you think of this one? It's the most fashionable style with a three-digit price tag. And feel the material—how is it? Durable, comfortable, breathable, truly the top choice for adventure!"

Zuo Chang glanced at the label.

Suggested retail price: 3.

What kind of clothes are so expensive!

Zuo Chang shook his head repeatedly and said, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it... Isn't there anything with a better price-performance ratio?"

"Pack these clothes for my brother Zuo."

A chilling voice rang out behind me!

Zuo Chang's hair stood on end; he recognized Ma Wen's voice!

He turned around and looked at the man in the suit behind him, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "You...you are one of Lord Qian's men? We met once at Lou Wai Lou."

"Haha! Mr. Zuo has a good memory. I am Ma Wen, and I send my greetings to you."

Marvin stepped forward with a smile, completely devoid of the murderous aura that had filled the armory.

He asked, "Mr. Zuo, aren't you a writer? What are you doing here?"

Zuo Chang smiled slightly, exuding composure: "Being a writer is my dream, but my father has other expectations for me. I am no stranger to adventure."

"I see!"

Ma Wen looked Zuo Chang up and down and said, "You... have reached the fourth realm? I saw you a few days ago, and you were clearly only at the first realm! It seems that Mr. Zuo comes from an extraordinary background and is not comparable to ordinary people!"

Is Zuo Chang nervous right now?

Of course I was nervous, but actually not that nervous.

He never intended to hide his strength from the beginning. His skills demonstration during the elite soldier assessment was bound to attract attention, and Lord Qian would surely hear about his deeds.

The world has been upgraded to a world of trillions of people, with countless powerful beings and numerous true dragons.

So what if you're more capable? Does that mean others can't be better?

He didn't explain, but deliberately touched the Moon Crown Sword at his waist and said with a smile, "Senior Ma, I've improved a lot, haven't I?"

"It's huge! It's so big, a day without it feels like three autumns!"

Marvin laughed it off and didn't pursue the matter further.

Earlier, in the armory corridor, Zuo Chang used the Moon Crown Sword to kill Ma Wen's student.

only……

The corridor was dimly lit, and Zuo Chang was unsure whether Ma Wen had noticed his weapon, so he took the initiative to probe, but it seemed that Ma Wen hadn't.

If that were the case, Zuo Chang should have been captured by now.

With "Eagle General" right in front of him, Marvin's attention was naturally focused on him.

It's not impossible that he knocked Zuo Chang out with another punch, without noticing the weapon in Zuo Chang's hand.

Ma Wen glanced at the sword at Zuo Chang's waist, recognizing it as a magical weapon, and quickly looked away: "I've heard about Mr. Zuo's exploits! Winning the championship in one realm is unparalleled! His purification and healing techniques are astonishing! Are you alone, Mr. Zuo? I'm very curious about your skills. Why don't you join my team and travel with me?"

Zuo Chang hurriedly said, "It would be wonderful to be able to act with Senior Ma! However... I have already made an appointment with Vice Commander Feng Gu to team up with her for an adventure."

"Feng Gu? That guy from the Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon Adventurer Group?"

"Yes."

Marvin said with an "oh," and then said, "Alright then. Since we've made an agreement, we can't break it. The most important thing for an adventurer is to keep their word."

Zuo Chang breathed a sigh of relief: "Next time, next time for sure."

"No need for next time, just this time! I'll temporarily join Vice Commander Fenggu's team and adventure with you all!"

"???"

Zuo Chang was deeply shocked!

He was taken aback and asked in surprise, "...Senior Ma, you must have a mission, right?"

Marvin waved his hand, exuding an air of magnanimity: "I don't have a mission right now. I'll only have a mission when the main force enters the second level."

Before Zuo Chang could react, he glared at the clothing store owner and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Pack up the clothes! Do you think... I can't afford this?"

"...No, no, how could that be? Commander Ma, who doesn't know you? In the Heavenly King Department, besides City Lord Qian, it's you! I'll pretend right away, I'll pretend right away."

The boss worked quickly and efficiently, packing up the adventurer's outfit.

They even included a lining.

Marvin handed the clothes to Zuo Chang and said with a smile, "Mr. Zuo, consider this... my gift to you. Don't be shy! Have you eaten? Why don't you call Vice Commander Feng Gu over and we can have a meal together? Whether I can join you depends on whether Feng Gu is willing to accept me."

How could she not accept his integrity?

With just his identity as "Qian Chengzhu's confidant and the commander of Tianwang City", Feng Gu would not be able to refuse Ma Wen.

Moreover, although Marvin is only at the fifth level, he has mastered the Ghost Back technique, making it as easy for him to challenge opponents of higher levels as eating and drinking. Ordinary sixth-level cultivators are no match for him at all!

Such a person...

Forget about integrity, Zuo Chang wanted that too.

It's obvious even to a fool that Ma Wen was suspicious of Zuo Chang's identity.

Zuo Chang made a quick decision, believing that the more someone tried to evade the situation, the more suspicious they became.

Under normal circumstances, how could he possibly refuse Marvin's offer to join?

He thought to himself, "When soldiers come, I'll block them; when water comes, I'll dam it. Marvin is only suspicious right now. If he really had evidence, he would have punched my head in the head long ago. Why would he be playing games with me? For now... I can only take it one step at a time."

Zuo Chang smiled and said, "Shall I take you to see Deputy Commander Feng?"
