Chapter 274: Chapter 262: I Want It All! The Rightful Owner Comes Knocking! The Martyr’s Orphan, Lin Zhong’s Army! (1/3)

"Little brother interested in this Jade Halberd?" Zheng Bo asked, "Not considering swapping for something else?"

Chu Feng chuckled, "Didn’t find anything worth snatching up. The big shots in the logistics manufacturing department don’t understand it, and honestly, neither do I.

"I think this Jade Halberd looks pretty good, and there’s really nothing else I want, so might as well choose this jade, play around with it when there’s nothing else to do."

Zheng Bo looked at Chu Feng suspiciously, trying to glean something from his face, but Chu Feng just smiled openly, seemingly just an innocent young man.

The people in surveillance were also curiously watching this scene, someone immediately pulled up the information on the Jade Halberd, muttered after looking for a while, "There’s something strange about this thing..."

Someone else helplessly said, "It must be strange, but we can’t figure out what’s strange about it. Even those master manufacturers don’t understand it, otherwise it wouldn’t have been left here."

Suddenly, someone hesitated, "How about... we keep this jade here, take it back for further tests and monitoring by the logistics manufacturing department?"

"That... might not be the best idea!"

Everyone looked at each other, and just then, Lin Zhong’s authoritative gaze swept over, and the person speaking immediately shut up.

Lin Zhong said coldly, "Stop being so petty, not wanting to spit out anything good, keeping it all to yourself, careful not to overstuff yourself!

"We in the Demon Extermination Army keep our word, we promised to let him choose freely, so let him choose!

"If we lack discernment and let someone else snatch a bargain, it’s our own fault!"

Everyone immediately bowed their heads in agreement.

Since Lin Zhong had made a decision, naturally they had no objections, but they were still curious about what secret this object held.

Not to mention these people, even Lin Zhong was very curious.

...

Zheng Bo naturally didn’t believe Chu Feng’s claim, curiously asking, "Little brother, between us, does this jade have any secrets?"

Chu Feng’s lips were sealed tight, not giving away anything, "There’s no secret, just thought it was fun. Do I need to have a secret to take it away?"

If you’re not telling, then fine, I don’t really want to know... You really are putting on an act.

Zheng Bo shrugged and laughed, "Of course not, feel free to take it, then let’s head out!"

He led the way towards the main entrance, with Chu Feng following behind. As they passed the Soul Hosting Pot, Chu Feng hesitated then suddenly said:

"Zheng, wait a moment!"

Zheng Bo turned back in confusion, seeing Chu Feng’s eyes firmly fixed on the twisted pot on the shelf, he laughed:

"Little brother, you’ve already used up your two item quota, you can’t pick anymore unless you give up one of the two awards you’ve already earned. Want to switch one out?"

Chu Feng thought for a moment, then looking up at Zheng Bo, chuckled, "No switch, the two things I chose are exactly what I need and want.

"But I want this pot too!"

Chu Feng pointed at the Soul Hosting Pot on the shelf.

"Brother, I want everything too, but that’s just wishful thinking," Zheng Bo rolled his eyes, "If you want it, wait till we get out, then earn another reward from Commander Lin!"

"No need to wait until we get out." Chu Feng smiled, "Please, Zheng, contact Commander Lin for me, I’ll trade a major secret for it!"

"A major secret? How major?"

Zheng Bo asked curiously, while Chu Feng just shook his head, smiling silently.

In resignation, Zheng Bo hesitated, then took out his communicator, about to call Secretary Wang, when suddenly Lin Zhong’s calm voice came from the entrance, "No need to call, I’m here."

"..."

Chu Feng and Zheng Bo turned around in shock, seeing Lin Zhong standing at the entrance like a ghost appearing out of nowhere.

Zheng Bo paused, then suddenly realizing something, his face began to turn pale, stuttering, "Commander Lin... When did you arrive?"

Lin Zhong’s face wore a cryptic smile, looking at them amusedly:

"I’ve been here all along.

"Just in the surveillance room, watching you guys sightseeing here, listening to you joke about my naming sense like an old lady’s footbinding cloth, long and stinky."

In his gentle words, however, seemed to lurk a brewing storm.

Zheng Bo, Chu Feng: "..."

Zheng Bo’s face turned from green to white in an instant—doomed, no luck at all.

He was in for some serious trouble!

The happier he had laughed earlier, the more miserably he would cry once outside!

Chu Feng, however, fell into a deep silence.

Though it was their right since it was their territory and watching the surveillance wasn’t wrong...

But was this old guy too free?

You, a distinguished Deputy Commander, have time to not deal with military affairs but to spy on two youngsters strolling around?

And even resorting to threats, almost scaring Zheng Bo to pee himself!

Of course, Chu Feng himself also felt incredibly guilty.

He had enjoyed mocking the ridiculous name "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Four Seas and Eight Desolations, Demon-Slaying, Invincible Exploding Fist" immensely, not expecting retribution to come so swiftly.

The person in charge had come knocking at the door!

...

"Cough cough, Commander Lin, your divine prowess is truly unparalleled, wise and valiant—nothing escapes your eyes!"

Chu Feng awkwardly changed the topic, "I have a huge secret from this object that could fill a gap in the Demon Extermination Army’s knowledge about Demons!

"Do you think I can exchange this secret for the pot?"

Lin Zhong glanced at the Soul Hosting Pot and scoffed, "Dream on, kid. You think you can take away my priceless treasure just by spouting some empty words?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng rolled his eyes.

Alright, this thing has been lying here ignored for years, but the moment I mentioned trading for it, it’s suddenly your priceless treasure?

"That’s not a fair statement, the secret I know covers a wide range and has a deep connection with the divinity of Demons, definitely more valuable than this pot!

"And it could supplement the lack in your system’s knowledge—knowledge is the most precious, Commander Lin!"

"If you take away the object, what use is the knowledge to me?" Lin Zhong laughed.

Heh, Chu Feng didn’t reply. He realized this crafty old fox was aiming to jack up the price and wasn’t even listening to reason anymore.

There’s so much knowledge about Demons, each piece should come with a sample, right?

To Lin Zhong’s surprise, Chu Feng immediately shrugged and laughed, "Then forget about it. Thinking about it, I was being a bit greedy. I should know when to stop!

"The martial technique and Jade Halberd I received today are very much to my liking. That should be enough. Here, this young man sincerely thanks Commander Lin for your generosity and Zheng for your care!"

He bowed deeply.

"Wait a minute, you young rascal!" Lin Zhong got a bit anxious and grabbed Chu Feng, "You’re speaking in half-truths, trying to skirt around honesty!

"I’ve shown my face, you have to give me an explanation!"

Chu Feng’s smile lingered, but his words were firm, "A secret for an object!"

Lin Zhong snorted coldly, "If you won’t talk, then don’t leave. Stay and serve!"

Chu Feng’s eyes immediately reddened, "Commander Lin wants to detain me, a young 18-year-old orphan from the Demon Extermination Army with no parents, alone and helpless, what more can I say?

"Then please send me to the frontline, let me die with the Demons!

"Once I’m down there, I can proudly tell them, their son wasn’t a coward!

"I only ask Commander Lin’s permission to bid farewell to Principal Ge, Principal Nie, Professor Lu, and my uncle from the Wang Jiawei Country!"

"You little scoundrel, taking advantage of my army, huh!" Lin Zhong’s face instantly darkened, and he gritted his teeth.

Chu Feng bowed his head, "Not at all! This young man harbors no resentment!"

Lin Zhong, infuriated, turned on the spot, wanting to find something to hit Chu Feng with, "Bullshit, your resentment is sky-high!

"Fine fine fine, take your damn secret in exchange for this broken pot, happy now? And don’t go back tattling to Old Man Ge about my harsh treatment!"

"Deal!"

Chu Feng’s face switched instantly, speaking crisply and clearly.
