High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

After completing the rescue mission, Chen Feng returned to his apartment at TN71 base.

Four consecutive days of high-intensity missions left Chen Feng exhausted, but he also received a generous reward—3 base points.

[Wu Yingguang: Chen Feng, thank you for your hard work on this mission. Your next mission is in 5 days. Take a good rest in the future.]

Looking at the message from Wu Yingguang, Chen Feng sighed softly, then took his clothes and went into the bathroom, preparing to take a hot shower to soothe his tired body.

The bathroom tiles had a cool, refreshing feel, typical of the base apartment.

Scalding hot water, yet not scalding, gushed out instantly, with a volume far exceeding that of ordinary household hairsprays. Fine streams of water converged into multiple warm jets, which, as soon as they landed on the shoulders, dispelled the deep-seated soreness.

Chen Feng tilted his head slightly and sighed contentedly.

The aches and pains from four consecutive days of outdoor trekking and combat confrontations gradually melted away under the soaking of hot water.

However, as soon as Chen Feng pushed open the bathroom door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The languid ease in his eyes was instantly replaced by a hint of surprise...

At this moment, his tamed Crystal-Devouring Beast was squatting on the living room floor...

After several days, the Crystal Devouring Beast's appearance had changed again.

Not only is the translucent and dazzling crystal covering its entire body even more exquisite, refracting light like a meticulously crafted diamond, but even its eight slender mechanical spider legs are covered with sharp crystal layers.

Unlike its eight neat, sharp mechanical spider legs, its head is exceptionally round, like a smooth, polished oval sphere, giving it a somewhat naive appearance.

The most eye-catching feature is the pair of large, round eyes set in the round head, which look like two full and clear black diamonds.

At this moment, even the eyelashes of the Crystal Devouring Beast were faintly glowing.

It was delicate and soft, with no trace of the ferocity of a giant beast, only obedient tenderness.

Facing Chen Feng, the Crystal Devouring Beast did not overstep its bounds in the slightest. It simply curled up its small mechanical body covered in crystals, and its eight slender, crystalline mechanical spider legs kept poking at the floor.

It seemed as if it wanted to rush into Chen Feng's arms, like a little creature holding a precious treasure and waiting for praise.

Seeing the Crystal Devouring Beast's adorable appearance, Chen Feng smiled and picked it up.

......

When Xuri Dongcuo opened the apartment door.

A familiar aroma of meat broth mixed with mushrooms warmed and comforted him, dispelling all his fatigue.

"Brother Feng, are you cooking?" Xuri Dongcuo asked loudly as he walked into the apartment.

The coffee table in the living room was temporarily moved aside and replaced by a folding low table with a shiny silver portable hot pot on it, the bottom of which was bubbling with milky white broth.

Xu Ri Dong Cuo was sitting cross-legged at the low table, just picking up a pair of alloy chopsticks specially made by the base.

The Crystal Devouring Beast jumped onto the table and curiously examined Rising Sun Winter Mistake.

The sudden appearance of the Crystal Devouring Beast caused Xu Ri Dong Cuo's expression to change instantly, because as a Demon Slayer like Chen Feng, he could quickly learn the racial information of any creature.

"Feng...Chen Feng, is this your pet star beast?"

Chen Feng chuckled, but instead placed a plate of giant meat slices from a hot pot on the table with both hands, and then patted the exquisite body of the Crystal Devouring Beast.

After being patted a few times by Chen Feng, the little guy sniffed the hot pot, then obediently curled back up, clearly knowing that this was not something he could eat.

"Yes, it hatched from the gem obtained from the Heavenly Rank Flood Dragon."

"Not bad. I looked at its species profile, and it's the most human-friendly star beast," said Xu Ri Dong Cuo.

"Thank you for your kind words. It has been eating a lot of giant beast cores lately, so it has completed its first advancement."

Chen Feng paused for a moment, then picked up a slice of cooked giant beast meat from the pot and placed it into the dipping sauce in front of Xuri Dongcuo.

The two exchanged casual pleasantries, but the conversation shifted from their respective missions to the past of Sierra City.

The steam from the hot pot enveloped the two of them, seemingly blurring the distance between them and adding a rare touch of warmth and everyday life. However, just as Xuri Dongcuo was all smiles...

Chen Feng spoke up, saying, "Dong Cuo, there's a question I've actually been wanting to ask you."

"Please speak!" said Xu Ri Dong Cuo cheerfully.

"Who exactly are you?"

Xu Ri Dong Cuo's hand suddenly paused, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Chen Feng? What kind of question is that?"

As Chen Feng handed a slice of meat to the Crystal Devouring Beast, he calmly explained.

"This time, on our way to carry out the mission, we were attacked by the Darkin, but I'm pretty sure they weren't Darkin, because no Darkin would leave us alive and instead shoot the Avatars who were surrounding us."

“Indeed, the Darkin love to torture and kill us.” Rising Sun Winter nodded. “But I don’t understand, what does this have to do with my identity?”

"You said before that you were very familiar with the military and political system of Sera City, but why did you leave with Rising Sun and me on that day without having any intention of resisting the behemoth tide?"

At this point, Chen Feng looked at Xuri Dongcuo, but a glint of silver still flickered in his eyes.

Clearly, Chen Feng has activated the Eye of Foreknowledge.

Under the foreshadowing, Chen Feng can easily discern anyone's lies.
