Chapter 161: The Hierarchy of Fengli

Lin Zheng was in his villa when the news was delivered to his doorstep by his subordinate.

He angrily booted the table in front of him and quivered uncontrollably out of rage, perhaps a little frightened as well.

“Qin Feng, why don’t you die already?”

Lin Zheng was informed when Qin Feng reached the hall. His result there petrified him.

Lin Zheng did not see him as a potential threat when Qin Feng gained first place in the Spring Hunting Ground. Any G3-tier student could have easily defeated multiple opponents simultaneously. There was a huge gap between a prodigy and an average student after all.

But he did fear him now after learning about the test result of Qin Feng and his companion.

“During the test, he released his punch with such precision without even using his internal strength. Not to mention that he didn’t even undergo the consciousness test. From what we gathered, almost all the conscious fruits have been stolen from the Spring Hunting Ground. Though there is no direct evidence that Qin Feng was behind it, it’s odd that he didn’t take any of the three fruits his team obtained openly during the expedition.”

“His ability must be quite powerful too.”

“I strongly suspect he was the thief.”

“That girl with him is by no means ordinary.”

Lin Zheng had been following Qin Feng closely but lost his trace when Qin Feng went to Han Town after visiting Fengli Colony.

When he heard of Qin Feng again, he almost could not believe his ears.

Qin Feng had taken down the Steel-limb Broodmother all by himself.

Lin Zheng could not do anything since he had become a hero to the people now. There was no need to rival the hope of Chengbei just because of a lost underling, he once thought.

“Damn you!” Lin Zheng deeply regretted it after what happened later on.

Aptitude users normally had fewer offsprings. The stronger one was, the fewer children he or she bore. It pained Lin Zheng greatly as his only son, Lin Kai, had been brutally killed!

He knew a lot of people said that it was Chen Ming that killed his son but the culprit was dead now. He needed someone else to blame to mitigate his pain of loss.

‘If Qin Feng did not stop the Z Organization from abducting the wood ability user, things would not have turned out this way. He is the one who should be held responsible for my son’s death!’

Though he wanted to take revenge, Lin Zheng was running out of ideas. He had used his connection and tried to assassinate Qin Feng in the arena. The result? Twenty-one straight wins for Qin Feng and an E-tier ancient warrior being killed by Qin Feng in an instant.

He did not know what else to do.

“No. It’s too early to give up. I still have the Xin family as my ally.” He opened up his communicator and typed furiously. His face was filled with nothing but vengeance and resentment.

On the other side, Qin Feng was passing the runic vest to Zhou Hao.

“Don’t tell me this is made from the broodmother’s materials?” Zhou Hao asked in astonishment.

Qin Feng nodded. “This is for your protection. I plan to go to Han Town soon. Do you want to come along?”

“Of course! I am getting bored with all these classes!” Zhou Hao complained.

Zhou Hao gained a lot of real battle experience from following Qin Feng’s footsteps. Things being taught in the classroom were not particularly useful to him now.

“Then apply for leave later. We will depart tomorrow. Let’s take public transport.”

It would be too tiring if he were to drive there all the way.

“That would not be necessary. Reclaiming Han Town is our university’s current priority as well. The school has been busy organizing such trips recently. All G-tier aptitude users have been asked to go. This time the headmaster is going to lead the troop so there’s nothing to be worried about.”

Qin Feng did not think of it at first. “I see. When are the university troops departing?” He asked.

“Coincidentally, tomorrow.”

Qin Feng nodded and talked to Zhou Hao for a while more. He left after teaching Zhou Hao how to further improve his internal force.

Reclaiming Han Town was an important matter. He reckoned Liu Xue and Wang Chen would be eager to follow him there as well.

He steered his car out of town and headed straight to Fengli next.

Qin Feng was only gone for a few days and Fengli had already changed drastically. There were various facilities set up in it right now and the blueprint of the colony had started to take shape. Because of the sufficient capitals, this place was larger than Han Town by quite a margin. Yet, it was still only half the size of Chengbei and no way near to the scale of Chengyang.

In the center square, a giant skyscraper stood there proudly. This was the heart of Fengli colony.

Around the long table, Qin Feng sat on the chairman seat with Bai Li beside him. Next to him, in descending order, were Xue Xingfu, Liu Xue, Wang Chen, Zhao Xiang, and He Ling.

They were holding different important positions inside the colony now.

Deputy mayor—Xue Xingfu.

Resource minister—Liu Xue.

Internal Patrol—Cyclone Unit Captain, Wang Chen.

External Guard—Winter Unit Captain, Zhao Xiang. Vice Captain, He Ling.

They had not set up an expedition unit. Most of the regions around them belonged to the Wilderness Ranger. Qin Feng did not wish to contest with them. They did not have enough strength to do that just yet.

“That’s all for now. Wang Chen will be going with me while the Cyclone Unit will be under He Ling’s command for the time being,” Qin Feng announced solemnly.

Xue Xingfu and the others stood up and escorted Qin Feng out of the room.

Xue Xingfu had witnessed Qin Feng’s superiority but he never expected him to excel in management as well. He sometimes wondered where did the sixteen year old teenager learn all these from? ‘I guess that’s what makes a genius stand out from the rest.’

This was when Liu Xue blurted out, “I wish to go too, Mayor.”

Qin Feng had just told them he was forming his own team to be part of the reclaiming project. He did not wish to join the main troop and was gathering some G-tier aptitude users himself. This served as a training for those potential warriors he had scouted.

Unfortunately, Liu Xue was not among the selected.

“Liu Xue, you should think it through. Do you wish to come back in pieces?” Wang Chen joked.

Liu Xue glared at him angrily.

He Ling faked a cough and advised her, “Liu Xue, you should remain here since your parents are here. If you go back to Han Town now, what will you do if the mayor of Han Town asks you to stay? Besides, the colony needs you. We need you.”

Liu Xue could not rebut. She was in charge of the resources of the entire colony and indeed had ample things to deal with.

Qin Feng had assigned them appropriately based on their personality. Though Liu Xue was a decent fighter and had been improving consistently, she was too lenient to be given any crucial positions. Resource management was the least taxing task Qin Feng could think of. Generally speaking, Liu Xue was just a stock keeper

However, that did not undermine the importance of her job. She was given direct access to all the money and materials of Fengli. Hence, Liu Xue viewed it as a mandate given by Qin Feng to her because he had the utmost trust in her.

As for Wang Chen, as mischievous as he was on the surface, Qin Feng knew his cold-blooded nature deep down. He stood by strong principles, was a little selfish, but very witty at the same time. He would be of great help in the future if given the proper upbringing.

Zhao Xiang was more of the hot-headed type, while He Ling was too kind to everyone. Both of them were still too immature to be a governor so Qin Feng arranged for them to guard the colony border against wild beasts while he entrusted Wang Chen with internal affairs.

Qin Feng glanced at them and instructed, “Just do as I say. Don’t try to figure out my intentions with that simple brain of yours again.”

Liu Xue’s face reddened, she was half embarrassed, half frustrated.
