Super Soldier in Campus-Chapter 674 - 679: Mercenary Life_1

"It was a rather niche online game... It only had one server, and the total number of players was probably around thirty to forty thousand. The game was incredibly realistic. Most importantly, the gameplay was very unique, and the death penalty was extremely severe. When you died, you pretty much lost everything. This made it unattractive for typical players to recommend to their friends and family, so the game never really gained popularity..."

Using a simple analogy, Lin Feng described to Ning Aoxue and Su Zi the lives of mercenaries living on the edge of peace and war in this world. "Even though the rewards for completing quests were high, the in-game environments were harsh. Players had to acquire a multitude of wilderness survival skills. Moreover, enemies could attack at any time. What was scarier was that you never knew what kind of opponents you were facing: drug traffickers, human traffickers, arms dealers, pirates, bandits, terrorists, homicidal maniacs... Nearly every mission involved facing countless horrors and death. Only after completing a mission could you rest for a bit..."

"Sounds pretty exciting... Had you guys been playing for a long time?" Su Zi asked energetically, her face revealing hints of excitement after hearing Lin Feng’s account.

"Over six years..." Lin Feng responded with a bitter smile, glancing at Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi. Perhaps this was the best explanation for those unaware of the White Wolf Squad’s existence.

What Lin Feng didn’t realize was that Ning Aoxue had been watching him the entire time, her eyes hinting at a thoughtful expression. She had picked up on the heaviness in Lin Feng’s words. If they were only discussing an online game, why did Lin Feng speak with such solemnity?!

"I was the team captain, leading our team through the game for six years," Lin Feng said with a bitter smile. "Then, one day about half a year ago, my character was ambushed and killed. All my years of hard work vanished like smoke. It was also around the time I needed to start preparing for my college entrance exams, so I quit the game and started studying seriously..."

"I see!" Su Zi began to piece things together. So, Lin Feng wasn’t actually slow-witted! Before he quit that game, he just hadn’t focused on his studies, which was why his grades were so bad. Once he started studying seriously, his grades naturally shot up...

"Yes... that’s right..." Lin Feng looked at Su Zi with an amused, indulgent expression. As for Su Zi’s simple-mindedness, he truly hoped she could stay this naive forever...

"So, can I still play that game now? After hearing your description, I kind of want to try it out!" Su Zi asked, looking triumphant and gazing at Lin Feng excitedly.

"Well..." Lin Feng felt a bit caught off guard by Su Zi’s sudden question and shot a pleading glance towards Xue Qingyi.

"That game was poorly managed and has already shut down," Xue Qingyi said calmly. "We only came to visit Lin Feng after learning he’d been accepted into college..."

"Oh, what a pity..." Su Zi shook her head, commenting with a look of regret.

At that moment, Mr. Wu from the Flying Leopard Club, who was in the Rolls-Royce, finally woke up completely. He lifted his head, his face pale with panic as he looked at the people outside the car. Glancing at Little Chao, still unconscious beside him, he tried not to make a sound. He quietly opened the car door on the other side, stealthily climbed out, and then pulled Little Chao out as well.

Using the car for cover, Mr. Wu dragged the heavy Little Chao and made a difficult retreat.

Everyone present—Lin Feng, Xue Qingyi, and Zhou Yang—was no ordinary person. They naturally noticed Mr. Wu’s furtive movements, but Xue Qingyi and Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered with such trivialities. It would be better if the two car thieves left on their own, saving them the trouble.

Zhou Yang, however, walked around the Rolls-Royce with a peculiar expression. He stopped in front of Mr. Wu, who was struggling onward, looked down, and asked lightly, "As far as I know, you’re in this sorry state entirely because of the guy on your back. So why are you still taking him with you?"

When Mr. Wu suddenly saw Zhou Yang appear, he was scared stiff. After all, Zhou Yang, standing right in front of him, was the one who had knocked him out with a single slap. Mr. Wu had no idea what Zhou Yang intended to do and thought there was no escape.

However, upon hearing Zhou Yang’s question, Mr. Wu froze. He instinctively retorted, "If I don’t take Little Chao with me, could I leave with any dignity?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. "Good, good... Alright, you can go!"

Just as Boss had said, even the most insignificant hoodlums would become fearless dragons in the face of danger, as long as it was for their brothers! Boss hadn’t lost his spirit; he was merely keeping his edge hidden for the time being!

Zhou Yang finally understood what Lin Feng had been trying to say. In a China where warriors weren’t needed, it was best to keep a low profile and wait for the chance to show your strength again, without losing heart!

"Wolf King, I look forward to seeing you display your might once more..." Zhou Yang smiled at Lin Feng, his eyes conveying his understanding.

Lin Feng understood Zhou Yang’s sentiment and smiled faintly, shaking his head lightly. In his heart, he didn’t hope for that day to come.

"Lin Feng, I know you all have a lot to do, so Zhou Yang and I will leave first." Xue Qingyi suddenly stepped in front of Lin Feng and lightly kissed his cheek. Then, with a flirtatious glance towards Ning Aoxue and Su Zi, whose jealousy was visibly spiking, she added with a smile. Before Lin Feng could respond, she quickly slipped into Zhou Yang’s car and chirped, "Little Zhou, let’s go!"

Lin Feng, taken by surprise, smiled bitterly. Even though Xue Qingyi’s kiss was gentle, it was lethal to Ning Aoxue and Su Zi. Xue Qingyi was deliberately leaving a difficult problem for him just before departing...

As expected, an icy chill spread across Ning Aoxue’s and Su Zi’s pretty faces. They both glared unhappily at the receding Rolls-Royce Phantom and then, in unison, snorted, "Hmph!"

Then, the way Ning Aoxue and Su Zi looked at Lin Feng became a bit strange.

"Tsk tsk, Handsome Lin, you really have a way with women... I know you’re amazing and always have plenty of beauties around! But could you please not flaunt your relationships in front of me and Miss Ning in the future? You might not be embarrassed, but we’re certainly tired of watching," Su Zi said to Lin Feng, her tone dripping with sarcasm, every word practically soaked in vinegar.

"What are you talking about..." Lin Feng shook his head, coughed lightly, and said, steeling himself, "Xue Qingyi came over to help me. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have found you two so quickly!"

"Oh, so you’re saying we should thank her then?" Su Zi laughed, exasperated by Lin Feng’s words. When she and Ning Aoxue were brought downstairs, they had seen Long Xiaoyun with two or three hundred people blocking the entrance to the Wanderer Night Club. They knew Fan Yang had only let them go because of pressure from Long Xiaoyun! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Su Zi hadn’t witnessed the earlier scene where Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang had jointly dominated the fight, so she didn’t believe Xue Qingyi, being a woman, could have done much in a physical fight.
