Chapter 1 The Setting Sun

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

It should have been the time for countless office workers to get off work and return home, but the Zero Wing headquarters building was lit up, and compared with other buildings around it, it was even more lively with people coming and going.

Even in front of the building, there were many young men and women still queuing up to sign up and join Zero Wing, waiting for Zero Wing's various basic tests.

In front of the lively Zero Wing Building, dozens of people with different clothes and identities suddenly appeared, all quietly examining everything about Zero Wing, full of curiosity about the Zero Wing headquarters.

"Is this the Zero Wing headquarters?" A young man with a few freckles on his face looked at the young men and women waiting in line for the test, and said with disdain, "I really don't know what the团长 (tuanzhang, leader) is thinking. He actually asked us to go to the Zero Wing headquarters to study and train for a while. Zero Wing's guild strength in God's Domain is certainly strong."

"But there are only a few people who can truly be called top experts. Even among these people who want to join Zero Wing, there are many who are obviously pure newbies. I'm afraid their combat level can't even pass the third floor of the Trial Tower, but he wants us to come to Zero Wing for training..."

No one present objected to the young man's contemptuous words, and they obviously agreed with him.

Those of them who joined the adventure team can be said to dislike being bound the most, and at the same time, they are extremely disdainful of the members of the major guilds, because the members of those big guilds are just a bunch of weaklings who are afraid of hardship, and they all use their power to bully others. There are very few real experts.

Any of them present could easily join a large guild and become a core member of those guilds, even the super guilds were no exception.

Because they are all in God's Domain, without any background or resources, fighting against those powerful Bosses, as well as various wild PKs, one battle after another, honing their combat skills at the cost of their lives. They are simply incomparable to the delicate flowers cultivated in the greenhouses of the guilds.

Moreover, their combat abilities in reality are also extremely strong, much more powerful than those fighting masters who have won various awards and championships on TV. This is why they feel that running to Zero Wing for training is simply a waste of time.

The middle-aged man with a burn scar on his face, who was the leader, glanced at the freckled youth and said coldly: "Alright! Tian Tong! This is the团长 (tuanzhang, leader)'s order. If you don't come, you will be treated as leaving the团 (tuan, team). Do you want to leave the团 (tuan, team)?"

As the fierce-looking man in black spoke, the freckled youth named Chi Tong dared not complain any further, and could not help but shut his mouth and turn his head away. Although he was unhappy, he obviously did not dare to disobey the man in black.

The others in the team also watched quietly, completely不敢 (bugan, dared not) express any opinions.

Because this middle-aged man in black is not only the vice团长 (tuanzhang, leader), Chi Mian (Crimson Face), of their Eternal Glory Adventure Team, but also the strongest person in the adventure team, so strong that even all of them combined, including the团长 (tuanzhang, leader) Ji Luorong, could only barely fight him.

In the West Continent, he is even known by many as the 赤面恶鬼 (Chi Mian E Gui, Crimson-Faced Devil)!

The reason for this was entirely because the middle-aged man in black, in order to save his companions who were besieged by a large guild, charged alone into a map blocked by an army of ten thousand people. This army of ten thousand people was no joke, with thousands of Tier 3 experts alone. But in the end, this army of tens of thousands of people was completely defeated, and not a single one of the tens of thousands of people left that map alive...

With this one battle, the name of 赤面恶鬼 (Chi Mian E Gui, Crimson-Faced Devil) in the Eternal Glory Adventure Team spread, making their life in the wild much easier.

As for the black-clothed middle-aged man in reality, he is also not simple. He used to be a very famous top bodyguard in the industry, and many world-class consortia were vying to hire him. For some unknown reason, he suddenly stopped being a bodyguard and started working as a full-time player, and devoted himself to the virtual reality game God's Domain. Joining the weak Eternal Glory Adventure Team at that time was completely an accident.

Chi Mian looked at the silent crowd and nodded, leading everyone directly to the entrance hall.

As soon as Chi Mian and the others walked into the lobby on the first floor, a beautiful woman in sportswear with shoulder-length short hair suddenly walked over. The core member badge on her sportswear showed the beautiful woman's identity in Zero Wing.

The appearance of this beautiful woman in sportswear made the members of the Eternal Glory Adventure Team involuntarily become vigilant, especially Chi Mian, who looked at the beautiful woman with a hint of solemnity on his face.

Not for any other reason, but because the presence and oppressive force of the beautiful woman in front of him was too strong. Although she did not exude any power, for some unknown reason, he always felt an unspeakable sense of tension and heaviness in his heart.

Ordinary people would probably not care about this kind of thing, but they are different. They have experienced countless escapes from death and countless life-and-death struggles in God's Domain. Their spiritual intuition is no longer comparable to ordinary people. What can make them feel nervous in their hearts is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Chi Mian carefully examined the beautiful woman in front of him, secretly assessing how many chances of winning he would have if he fought the beautiful woman. However, after careful observation, he was surprised to find that his chances of winning were at most forty to fifty percent. This was still because he had the advantage of a strong physique.

"Could she be Fire Dance, the团长 (tuanzhang, leader) of Zero Wing's main force团 (tuan, team)?"

Chi Mian looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and after thinking about it, this was the only possibility. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the beautiful woman in front of him had such a strong mental pressure.

"You are the members of the Eternal Glory Adventure Team." Ban Hua glanced at the crowd and said with a smile, "You can call me Ban Hua. I have already heard about your affairs from the会长 (hui zhang, guild leader). Since you have come to Zero Wing, then treat Zero Wing as your own home from now on. Rooms have been arranged for all of you upstairs, and you can go to rest at any time."

With that said, Ban Hua led Chi Mian and the others towards the elevator leading to the resting area.

"Ban Hua?"

Chi Mian and the others looked at Ban Hua who was leading the way, their eyes full of surprise, especially Chi Mian. Before coming to Zero Wing, he had already thoroughly investigated the top experts of the Zero Wing Guild, but there was no one named Ban Hua.

"Such a strong mental pressure is comparable to facing a Tier 4职业 (zhiye, class). Could she be Zero Wing's hidden trump card?" Tian Tong also secretly exclaimed.

He had seen experts before, but this was the first time he had seen an expert with such a sense of oppression in reality. That feeling of being imposing without being angry had completely become an instinct. This was a temperament and sense of oppression that could only be honed through crazy fighting and training.

Even Chi Mian has not been able to do this until now. You must know that Chi Mian's strength is extremely strong. Even when facing those master-level fighting experts, Chi Mian can defeat them in a few moves, but even in this situation, he has never felt this way.

As the group walked into the spacious elevator, two men walked out of the elevator.

These two men were also wearing sportswear like Ban Hua, with Zero Wing core member badges on their clothes. The moment these two young men came out, Chi Mian and the others couldn't help but stop, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Because the two men who came out of the elevator were simply two fierce beasts in their eyes at this time. The violent aura and the oppressive spirit would make even the dullest person feel chills down their spine when facing these two, and the physical fitness of the two was also surprisingly high, even stronger than Chi Mian.

The appearance of these two young men did not cause any trouble to others. The Zero Wing members passing by seemed to not see them at all, and were chatting and laughing with each other.

"Who exactly are these people at the Zero Wing headquarters?" Tian Tong glanced at the surrounding Zero Wing members and was speechless for a while. "Don't they feel any of this pressure?"

Such a terrifying sense of oppression gave people the feeling that they were always being stared at by a ferocious lion.

Ordinary people would probably go crazy if they lived in this environment for a long time, but these people in Zero Wing have no reaction at all...

Chi Mian looked at the two men who had left and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Ban Hua, who are the two people who just walked past?"

The moment the two appeared in the elevator, he even had a feeling that he was finished, because the strength of these two young men was obviously stronger than him. If the two attacked at the same time, he would definitely have no power to fight back.

"They are Fei Ying and Jian Ying." Ban Hua said calmly, "But because their progress has been a little slow recently, they have been scolded a lot by 姐 (jie, older sister) Fire Dance. Now they have to go to Master Lei Bao's side for two hours of training every day, otherwise they are not allowed to enter God's Domain."

"Slow progress?" Tian Tong didn't know what to say for a while after hearing this.

Show off!

That's right! This is definitely showing off!

Two fighting experts who are even more powerful than Chi Mian are still not enough. Who would believe this if they said it?

However, after Tian Tong and the others entered Zero Wing's training room, they realized that Zero Wing's training room was simply a monster concentration camp.

Because on the combat arena in the training room, he personally witnessed Fei Ying and Jian Ying being cleaned up by a hot beauty in a red t-shirt and shorts, constantly wailing on the arena. They had no chance to fight back at all, completely like babies...

While the members of the Eternal Glory Adventure Team were training in Zero Wing, Shi Feng and others returned to the upper district of Yuantian City overnight without any delay in the upper district of Haitian City.

After returning to the upper district of Yuantian City, Mu Xin chose to say goodbye to Shi Feng and directly returned to the consortium to prepare to report the World War as soon as possible and prepare for the upcoming World War as early as possible.

Ji Luorong came to the ordinary residence where Shi Feng lived.

However, what Ji Luorong did not expect was that there were actually two big 姐姐 (jie jie, older sisters) in the house. Neither of these two big 姐姐 (jie jie, older sisters) were worse than her sister Feng Qianyu, especially Bai Qingxue, who was simply like a fairy descending to earth. The strength and combat level of the two also made Ji Luorong marvel. Guiding her was as simple as guiding an elementary school student...

Upper district of Yuantian City, a restaurant not far from Shi Feng's residential complex.

Yi Kui stood respectfully beside a burly young man, carefully reporting: "Mr. Wang, according to my investigation, that Hei Yan and the little girl live in that complex, but they are staying in the house now. I'm afraid it's not suitable for us to take action. I'm afraid it will take up some of Mr. Wang's time."

"No need for so much trouble." The young man Wang Xuanming smiled indifferently, "That's just an ordinary residential complex. Besides, I'm just teaching a Huajin Grandmaster a lesson. I can sneak in at midnight and guarantee that I won't be discovered by those security monitors without anyone knowing."

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Wang."

Yi Kui had no doubts about this.

Those security monitoring systems may be able to block him, but they will definitely not be able to block someone like Wang Xuanming. Of course, it would be a different story if Shi Feng and others lived in the villa area, but unfortunately Shi Feng lives in an ordinary residential complex, and the security level is not that high.
