Chapter 135: Chapter 133: Procuring Supplies, Movements of the Demon Clan at the Front Lines

After browsing around, Chu Feng bought a pair of True Armor pants to protect his fair legs and to maintain the dignity of a Yan University Student.

[Medium Quality True Armor: Ice Chain Leg Guards, with special trait: Level 2 Sturdiness, Level 1 Resistance to Scorching]

The original material for the leg armor was the Iron Chain Demon’s Chains, which were melted and forged into fine iron chains, assembled into chainmail leg guards.

However, embedded within them were small Ice Attribute energy crystals, activated by soaking in a special potion, offering a certain level of resistance to high temperatures.

Chu Feng had asked Zhou Xian and felt that the leg armor didn’t seem to utilize the energy crystals effectively, hardly justifying the steep price tag of three million.

Zhou Xian was somewhat helpless. He explained that the Human Race’s comprehension of Magic Conductors was still at a primitive stage.

This pair of leg guards was a testament to the current level of technology, which was to embed energy crystals and then stimulate them brutally to obtain a slight protective effect, but that was about it.

Currently, there were only two types of True Armor, either one like the Qing Lei Yao Niu Leather Armor Chu Feng wore on his upper body, which utilized the innate properties of the Demon Clan materials for protection,

or like the Ice Chain Leg Guards, which added energy crystals to the previous type and crudely activated them.

Due to the low utilization rate, more crystals had to be embedded to increase energy output, and naturally, the price shot up.

Chu Feng had no choice but to let it go, thinking that the money spent wasn’t entirely in vain.

After all, it was hard to find sturdier pants than these.

He also replenished some Health Potions, blue bottles, Mental Strength Potions, and other miscellaneous items such as gas masks.

After five days of behind-enemy-lines real combat, he changed his somewhat arrogant initial thoughts.

Attribute Points were indeed omnipotent.

But if one was to simply heal minor injuries or replenish exhaustions of True Force directly with Attribute Points, that would be too extravagant.

After all, killing a Soldier-Level Iron Chain Demon only granted 1 point, but the consumption during head-on battles far exceeded the amount of True Force that this single point could replenish.

If it weren’t possible to exploit the Wind Concealment trait for ambushes, the Attribute Points would not have been enough to cover the expenditure.

Good steel should be used on the edge of the blade; unless in an emergency, injuries and True Force depletion that weren’t too severe should be replenished with conventional Elixirs.

As for Mental Strength Potions, he had long heard of them but was seeing them in person for the first time, since ordinary people hardly needed such things.

At the moment, he was shaking a finger-sized explosion-proof glass bottle, admiring the dazzling colors diffused by the refraction of the clear and transparent light blue liquid.

Zhou Xian said with a smile, "Young brother, you don’t need to stock up too much on Mental Strength Potions, because drinking too much of it carries a certain risk of addiction.

"However, when you’re exhausted or your mental power is impaired, taking it can immediately invigorate your spirit, which is better than the effects of adrenaline and other drugs.

"Of course, if you practice magic, then you do need to buy a few more bottles to have on hand."

Chu Feng laughed, "Then brother, I’ll trouble you for another five bottles."

Zhou Xian looked at him in surprise, not expecting that the young man understood magic, when he hadn’t even started university yet.

Did his mentor teach him magic, as well?

The professors at Yan University were quite impressive; within such a short time, they had trained such a promising student!

He couldn’t help but think about spending some money to get his good-for-nothing son, who was still in elementary school, into Yan University for a proper education.

While thinking, he picked up a calculator and quickly tapped on it, smiling, "No problem.

"The total for these items is 4.6 million, but with an 88% discount for you, that comes to 4.04 million.

"However, that number is quite inauspicious, rather chilling to hear, so let me round it down for you, 4 million even, how does that sound?"

Chu Feng waved his hand grandly, "Fine, deduct it directly from my share!

"Also, when I return, I need to break through, so I want to buy some Treasured Medicines for that purpose. Could you recommend a reliable contact for me, brother?"

"Sure thing, I’ll give you a contact later. He’s an old acquaintance of mine, just mention my name when you buy, and he can give you a discount."

Zhou Xian replied with a smile, effortlessly deducting 4 million from Chu Feng’s credit.

"Thanks, brother," yawned Chu Feng, feeling the novelty of shopping fade and the onset of fatigue, "Which hotel around here is cleaner? I really need to rest up well."

"True, you brought back so many items at once, you must have spent quite a bit of time inside."

"Our commerce association has opened a hotel within the stronghold. Just walk two hundred meters north and you’ll find the Nebula Hotel."

"You are a VIP now, so I’ll issue you a card. From now on, you can enjoy free food and accommodation. Go and get a good sleep!"

Zhou Xian took a gold card from the counter and handed it to Chu Feng.

This guy was like a hen that laid golden eggs. By fostering good relations with him, they could keep getting a steady stream of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!

Chu Feng accepted the Gold Card without any hesitation, tucked it into his pocket, and lifted his now-empty duffle bag. "Thanks, bro. I’m off then."

"Pleasure doing business. I’ll be back next time!"

"Take care, little bro!" Zhou Xian saw Chu Feng out the door, with a beaming smile as he watched him leave.

...

Following Zhou Xian’s directions, Chu Feng walked into the Nebula Hotel. The lobby wasn’t luxurious, but it was clean, and the marble floors were so polished they could reflect someone’s image.

After showing the Gold Card at the reception, the receptionist girl immediately assigned him a top suite and shot him a flirtatious glance.

But Chu Feng didn’t notice these things. The conversations coming from the sofas behind him caught his attention instead.

"Things haven’t been quiet up front recently. Those Iron Chain Demons are grouping up again, and they’re very aggressive. I heard two teams got wiped out in there already."

"Are they gearing up to attack us again?"

"It’s possible. I just came down from the front. That bunch of crazies are attacking us like they’re willing to fight to the death."

"We lost three Foundation Building Warriors in our team, and the second team even lost an Innate Realm squad leader; we couldn’t even retrieve his body."

"Who knows why those monsters have gone completely mad."

"The boss already said we’re getting a long break to rest up properly, but no one can bail, we have to be on call for any notices."

"Damn it, if the warriors outside weren’t randomly teleported, never knowing where they’d end up, which makes it hard to regroup, we would have flattened those beasts long ago!"

"It’s not like we can’t perform a strong push, ya know. Gather a bunch of powerhouses, bring tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Realm and Innate Realm fighters, and charge in together."

"We could wipe out the Iron Chain Demons that very day and take all their resources."

"Heh, easy for you to say. Scatter tens of thousands of Foundation Building Warriors across a hundred kilometers, and it’s like throwing a handful of sand into the ocean."

"Demons are everywhere. How many will be alive after one night?

"So we’re just giving up on defending the other domains and committing to an all-out war with the Iron Chain Demons?

"Anyway, if you ask me, I definitely won’t join in. I’ve got a little bun at home and a useless boy, waiting for me to earn money to support them."

"Spot on, bro. If those Iron Chain Demons attack, I’m running for it."

"We’re all just trying to make money for our families. Fifty, a hundred thousand a month; what’s the point of risking our lives?

"If you die here, all you get is a tiny compensation - and someone else will marry your wife, spend your compensation money, and beat your little bun.

"Just the thought of it is painful..."

"Screw you, asshole, don’t curse me. I’m gonna outlive you for sure, you dickhead."

"..."

...

After listening to the two men’s conversation, Chu Feng grew more cautious.

Movement among the Iron Chain Demons?

"Again" attacking suggests that every once in a while, they launch an assault on the Human Race strongholds?

He was inwardly vigilant, planning to continue hunting after resting up, and now he needed to be extra careful.

The last thing he wanted was to walk headlong into a trap and end up surrounded by Iron Chain Demons.
