Chapter 34: Convincing Others

In times of turmoil, heroes are not in short supply. In fact, it is the disasters that give rise to their legendary names. In the surviving cities in the last days, there are unique guardians. Among them, there are heroes, tyrants, and great generals. Regardless of their different personalities, it is because of the existence of these people that ordinary people have a stable place to live.

Feng Zhiyong.

He is somewhat of a legend. Unlike other professionals who control the overall situation with their amazing power, Feng Zhiyong is just an ordinary person. He is the leader figure in City J and commands the masses solely with his personal charm, becoming a symbol of effort for some ordinary people.

The awakening of professionals has caused a polarization in the human camp.

Some believe that with their stronger power, they should protect humanity. However, there are also many opponents who feel that they are the darlings of this age, and as for the ordinary people, they are just the losers of this disaster, just a group of ants.

"Hello, we should thank you for saving my soldiers."

Feng Zhiyong steadied himself. As the future leader of this city, he displayed astonishing composure and quickly snapped out of the Dark Elf's worship.

Standing before him was a young man. Although there were many awakened soldiers, professionals demonstrated various bizarre behaviors after gaining power. However, a person as young as the one before him, facing monsters with such composure, made him look a little longer. Behind the young man was a glamorous girl with striking white long hair, holding a longbow and staring at their group with a scrutinizing gaze.

Five meters.

This was a very delicate distance.

With the speed of the Dark Elves, this distance was enough for her to kill some people. Of course, her main target was Feng Zhiyong. If anything unexpected happened, she had the confidence to control the opponent within a second.

The military figure named Feng Zhiyong had a solemn expression, devoid of any aloofness. He seemed more like a shop owner welcoming guests than someone in a position of authority.

Of course, Feng Zhiyong was not a virtuous and gentle person. After all, this was a brutal world. A leader without a strategy might not even see the first ray of dawn.

Understanding the situation from the part.

Someone who was willing to sacrifice over twenty lives to kill a monstrous beast might have whatever grievances they had, but based on this ruthlessness alone, he was a figure.

Chen Feng did not have any hidden motives, even if there were any, it was merely a straightforward plan.

An act of kindness in dire circumstances.

In fact, Chen Feng had been here long ago. With his assistance, the Phantom Assassin and others could have been saved, but he never intervened throughout the time. ...

The more people died, the more it proved the strength of the monstrous beast.

And killing the monstrous beast was to prove one's worth.

This was a very shallow truth. The blacksmith and the others were just stepping stones for the monstrous beast, and the monstrous beast was Chen Feng's challenge. He needed credit, a miraculous scene of saving everyone from imminent danger. It might be somewhat ostentatious, but it was proportional to the rewards.

Not everyone could be treated by Feng Zhiyong like this.

"My name is Chen Feng."

A simple introduction. Chen Feng stood straight on the ground and nodded at Feng Zhiyong.

"I am a summoner, capable of summoning creatures from other dimensions to fight. I've been hiding in the nearby police station these days and came here only after hearing the noise."

"Creatures from other dimensions..."

Hearing this, Feng Zhiyong's resolute cheeks twitched involuntarily. He glanced at the Dark Elf. Indeed, her appearance was not human.

Although not entirely clear about what Chen Feng meant by creatures from other dimensions, through these days of observation, Feng Zhiyong realized that the world had undergone earth-shattering changes. Just like the monstrous beast before him, it was clearly not a product of this world.

However, as a long-standing figure, Feng Zhiyong quickly regained his composure. He nodded, expressing gratitude, "Regardless of anything, I must thank you for helping out. If it weren't for you, some soldiers might have fallen forever. We have lost too many people along the way, and I think..."

When Feng Zhiyong mentioned this, he paused and glanced at the dark elf before turning to Chen Feng. If what the other party said was true, then it was evident that this young man obviously had control over the archery master's choice.

"When the disaster broke out, this city had no idea what was happening. If possible, I hope you can join us. This way, the level of safety will be greatly improved... Of course, I won't let you do anything particularly dangerous..."

Perhaps thinking of the experience of the iron caster, Feng Zhiyong quickly changed his tone, hoping not to let the other party think that he simply saw him as a pawn.

At this moment, Feng Zhiyong fell silent. Talking to someone who could control the powerful was a very important step. Three professionals had died, which was a disaster for Feng Zhiyong.

Talent.

He had to gather talented individuals nearby in order to protect the city and its people.

Looking at Chen Feng, who remained silent, Feng Zhiyong did not know what he was thinking. Just as he was about to further explain...

"I agree."

Chen Feng's voice was not loud, but it was filled with determination.

"Ah... What did you say? Really? This is really great!"

Originally, Feng Zhiyong did not hold too much hope, after all, there were too many casualties on his side. Dozens of soldiers died miserably, and three professionals were killed in battle. This bloody scene would make anyone recoil. What surprised him was that Chen Feng agreed so readily.

Sensing Feng Zhiyong's joy, Chen Feng slowly spoke, "I agree to join you, but I have some conditions. My abilities require the corpses of some monsters, so in future battles, I hope to get some corpses of powerful beings. Additionally, I need a position, not as an ordinary soldier, but as a member of the management..."

As he said this, Chen Feng fell silent for a moment, giving Feng Zhiyong some time to consider.

"Is that all?"

Feng Zhiyong widened his eyes, with an astonished expression. Wanting monster corpses? Why not take as many as you want? They couldn't be used as food, and handling them was quite troublesome.

As for the management position, that was easier to accomplish. As a professional, people like Chen Feng were originally the banner that Feng Zhiyong used to build heroes. Giving the other party some privileges without affecting his own rights was completely fine.

"Please believe in my sincerity. I can assure you that you can freely choose the monster corpses for cleaning the streets, and as for the military position, you can rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation..."

Feng Zhiyong was very sincere.

However, the reason he was so generous now was because the city of J had not yet produced professionals like the iron caster and the enchantment master. These professionals could create equipment with diverse abilities from monster corpses. In the future, the corpses of monsters bronze or higher even became the currency for human trade.

Chen Feng was not greedy.

He was not planning to stay here forever. Unlike the dark elf, his pet that exuded a charming aura could rely on sacrifice to obtain blessings from the evil god. However, this clumsy fellow, the imp, did not have such treatment. He needed a large amount of food to have a chance to advance to the next level.

Feeding the imp with all the city's strength was another reason why Chen Feng was eager to join the army.

Even if in the future, enchantment masters really appeared, the role of monster corpses would also be scrutinized. However, by then, the imp, who had consumed numerous monsters, would have certainly completed its evolution...
