Chapter 1 The Crisis

Zero Wing Headquarters Building, luxury lounge.

With the sound of mechanical jets, the tightly sealed hatch slowly opened, and the blood-red warning lights along the edges kept flashing, as if issuing a warning.

"As expected."

Shi Feng walked out of the virtual reality pod, looking at the constant system warnings, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

It was a close call. Although he had long known that the brain's abnormal activity would consume an extraordinary amount of energy, he didn't expect it to be to such an extent.

Originally, there should have been at least 30% of nutrient solution and various energy potions left, but now they were almost completely used up...

To avoid any abnormalities in the body, these virtual reality pods had undergone some special modifications, adding energy potions that were not available in ordinary models. Each of these energy potions was comparable to an A-grade nutrient potion, and a total of twenty bottles were loaded, just to deal with emergencies.

But he didn't expect that not only had the nutrient solution been almost completely consumed, but even the twenty bottles of energy potions were almost empty.

Without thinking too much, Shi Feng immediately walked out of the virtual reality pod, went directly to the freezer, took out a bottle of life potion as a precaution, and drank it all in one gulp.

In the battle of Silverwing Town, relying on Fiersaede, he instantly killed eight Saint Devourers. The eight rays of soul light poured into his soul, making his state better than ever before. He even had an indescribable feeling of omniscience and omnipotence, as if his thinking speed was dozens of times faster than before.

On the surface, this was definitely a great thing for players, but after experiencing God's Domain for ten years, plus his previous experiences, he had already understood that this kind of good thing must have a prerequisite, that is, sufficient nutrition and energy. Without this prerequisite, it was likely to cost the player's life.

As the life potion was consumed, Shi Feng also felt that his slightly feverish and stinging brain gradually began to calm down, and the stinging sensation was constantly weakening. However, as time went on, this effect became weaker and weaker...

Obviously, one bottle of life potion was not enough to restore his depleted life energy. It only solved the superficial crisis. Now he seemed to be the same as before, but his body and brain were still in a state of hunger, or rather, weakness.

"Without more S-grade nutrient potions and life potions, it's really a troublesome thing." Shi Feng couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling a headache about this.

Although it resolved a certain crisis, if it continued to develop like this, the burden on his body would become heavier and heavier.

Moreover, not to mention this incident, many people in Zero Wing would probably need S-grade nutrient potions or even life potions in the future. If they didn't have them, they would be constrained in doing many things in the future, and it would also seriously affect their growth potential. It should be known that Zero Wing originally had far fewer top talents than the various super forces.

Now that there was finally some improvement, it would be easy to give up all his previous efforts if the supply was not sufficient.

Currently, the matter of credits was still okay for Zero Wing, after all, it cooperated with many super forces and could obtain a lot through resource transactions or gold coin transactions. It was precisely because of this that Zero Wing had been able to maintain its cash flow until now without any problems.

But S-grade nutrient potions and life potions were different. According to the information he currently knew, the annual sales volume of S-grade potions was limited. More than 80% of the S-grade nutrient potions were bought by major world-class consortia, and only a small amount of S-grade nutrient potions flowed out, so they were not only speculated to astronomical prices, but also difficult to buy one by one.

Shi Feng was not surprised by this, because S-grade nutrient potions not only had powerful recovery effects, but long-term drinking could also maintain a certain degree of youth. This was something that money couldn't buy, after all, the physical vitality of a thirty-year-old body and a fifty or sixty-year-old body were completely different.

As for life potions, needless to say, because they were new potions, their preciousness was far above S-grade nutrient potions, and their quantity was also pitifully small. S-grade nutrient potions could still be purchased a little every once in a while, but life potions were simply impossible to obtain. It was already a fluke that he had obtained some before.

Just as Shi Feng was feeling a headache about the scarcity of S-grade nutrient potions and life potions, a knock on the door rang out.

"Chief Instructor Shi, they have arrived at the top floor meeting room." Liang Jing knocked on the door and said.

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Shi Feng said, immediately tidied up, and followed Liang Jing to the top floor meeting room of the Zero Wing Headquarters Building.

Top floor meeting room.

In the luxurious meeting room, where one could see most of the city's scenery, there were one man and two women. The leader was none other than Han Guang Shi Ying, the vice president of Illusionary Myth, and also Fang Shi Han, a rising star of the Fang family.

However, at this time, Fang Shi Han didn't seem to be representing the Fang family, because the man and woman beside her were not from the Fang family. Although it was impossible to make an accurate judgment from their appearance, the woman beside her should be the female knight Yu Bai he had seen in the ancient secret realm before.

Yu Bai in reality was quite different from the one in God's Domain, but her temperament was exactly the same. However, what was most surprising was that Yu Bai in reality was even stronger than in God's Domain. Although she was not a Grandmaster, she was better than one. She would be an absolute genius or even a prodigy in a top martial arts gym or training center, but such a person was silently unknown in the fighting world.

The man standing beside her was also no stranger, it was Matt, whom he had met in the training hall before, a Horizontal Refinement Grandmaster who was only half a step away. However, compared to Matt he had seen a few months ago, the aura emanating from Matt's body now was much stronger.

One had to admire that it was good to have the support of a world-class consortium, there was no need to worry about resources at all. It was simply incomparable to their Zero Wing. Not to mention Matt's progress in technical skills, just his physical fitness, which was as strong as a giant bear, meant there was really no need to worry about advancing.

As Shi Feng walked into the hall, the three of them simultaneously shifted their gazes to Shi Feng. Especially Fang Shi Han, looking at Shi Feng as if she was examining an item, not as if she was looking at a person.

"Miss Fang, it's been a long time. I wonder why you're in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?" Shi Feng looked at Fang Shi Han and cut straight to the point.

After he showed his Grandmaster-level strength that overwhelmed Matt, the entire Fang family, or rather Illusionary Myth, suddenly calmed down a lot, but he also understood that this calm was just to prepare for the next wave.

After all, a master as strong as Matt was just an excellent trainee of Illusionary Myth, not a guild bigshot or a top-ranked master in the guild, otherwise he wouldn't listen to Fang Shi Han's commands.

"Chief Instructor Shi, no, I should call you Guild Leader Hei Yan. I wonder if I'm right?" Fang Shi Han quietly looked at Shi Feng who was walking in, a hint of a smile flashing in her dark eyes like the night.
