Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3901 - 3920: Variable

Lin Chen finished his inspection and came out, Luo Zheng slipped over again.

"Finished checking? Did you get the report?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "They said I need to wait a while."

Luo Zheng said with a laugh, "No hurry, they all have to check anyway."

Luo Zheng’s gaze wandered around Lin Chen twice, then said with a laugh, "I’m sure there’s no problem."

Lin Chen was idle at the moment, and although Luo Zheng was proactive from start to finish, he was very gentlemanly and polite in his behavior and speech.

When Luo Zheng sat down, he tried to sit close to Lin Chen; he only exchanged contact information with Lin Chen, and when it was Lin Chen’s turn to check, he left voluntarily instead of staying to chat with Yao Xuanji and Lan Shuiying.

Even though Lin Chen didn’t really know Luo Zheng, after this interaction, he felt quite a good impression of him.

Lin Chen didn’t mind chatting more with Luo Zheng. He actually hoped to interact more with Federation people, since their only path forward was to integrate into the Federation.

"Hopefully so."

Luo Zheng asked, "Your previous cultivation wasn’t like ours, was it?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Luo Zheng asked with great interest, "Could you tell me more? I’m quite curious."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "We pursue the main road, which can also be understood as rules, such as fire..."

Lin Chen lifted his finger, and above the tip, a small flame appeared out of thin air. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Water..."

The flame on Lin Chen’s fingertip went out, and a water ball floated above his finger, gently rippling.

"Light..."

The water ball disappeared, and suddenly a bright spot appeared above Lin Chen’s fingertip, radiating intense light.

Lin Chen withdrew his hand and explained, "Cultivators have different body attributes. You could understand it as having the highest affinity for a certain attribute. It’s not that he can’t cast spells of other attributes, he just can’t cast very high-level spells."

"When we reach the extreme, it’s mastering the main road corresponding to the attribute, becoming the only True God of this road."

Lin Chen sighed, "Of course, regardless of which main road, regardless of which type of Divine Power, they are essentially energy transformations. We encountered the Purification Team before, and we were entirely no match for them, otherwise, we wouldn’t have ended up here."

Luo Zheng’s eyes lit up, "Manipulating many elements to battle with the flesh, isn’t this just like a mage?"

Lin Chen laughed, "In some ways, it can indeed be understood as a mage, just that mages in books usually have weak bodies, but as we cross tribulations over and over, our bodies become exceedingly tough."

Luo Zheng asked curiously, "Have you mastered the main road?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I have mastered earth among the Five Elements. My wife controls space, and my friend masters ice."

Luo Zheng’s eyes lit up, "Then you all must be really powerful."

Lin Chen smiled wryly, "In our place, we’re indeed considered powerful, possibly the most powerful people in the world, controlling everyone’s lives. But now, it’s better not to mention it."

Lin Chen did not hide our group’s abilities; instead, he spoke openly about them.

He needs a variable!

If there is no variable, they might always wear the Black Ring around their necks, always striving for Zhang Zhongjiu’s interests, yet unable to gain freedom themselves.

Only if they show their value and someone notices them, might they gain freedom within this variable.

Such opportunities are scarce and might come with many dangers, but Lin Chen had no choice.

He has never been someone who follows rules and can live a cringing existence.

Luo Zheng might not be able to help him much, but the more people he connects with, there must be some with ability from the crowd, right?

"You are an Adventurer Team member, where do you usually go to complete tasks and earn rewards?"

Luo Zheng said with a laugh, "Except for extremely dangerous areas, the foreign beasts on Planet 49 have mostly been slaughtered. After all, the Federation’s combat power is too strong; in normal conditions, foreign beasts cannot possibly withstand the Federation military."

"Our most frequent task is guarding. Although foreign beasts have been killed in large batches, their reproduction ability is often super strong, and they evolve super quick. To completely eliminate them is impossible."

"Under such a backdrop, if there are any activities involving the wild, they usually need to be accompanied by guards. Otherwise, if encountering a foreign beast, one’s life might be at risk."

"Of course, we occasionally participate in exploration missions of newly discovered Wilderness Planets and some miscellaneous activities."

"To sum it up, basically, whatever pays money, we do it."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "You are a Fifth-level Martial Warrior, which is considered powerful in Jinghai City, so is it really that hard to earn money?"

Luo Zheng smiled wryly, "Among my peers, my strength is definitely top-tier, but if we don’t consider age, then I’m not very powerful. Jinghai City is one of the seven great cities on Planet 49; there are many experts."

"For example, the Purification Team you mentioned, they at least have Sixth-level Martial Warrior strength, and some even have Seventh-level strength; my Fifth-level strength is insignificant compared to them."

Lin Chen understood the difference between "considering age" and "not considering age," after all, his journey was filled with such situations, wasn’t it?

Peers were not his match; he could easily crush them, but all he encountered were ancient beings who lived thousands or tens of thousands of years, how could he compete?

Lin Chen nodded, "I come from a very ordinary background, without any connections. I walked this path all along, so I understand."

Luo Zheng’s eyes brightened, looking at Lin Chen with admiration, "You really are impressive, going from ordinary to peak, compared to you, I’m far inferior."

Lin Chen smiled wryly, "There’s always someone higher, just like there’s always a sky above the sky, otherwise, wouldn’t we be prisoners of the variations?"

Luo Zheng encouraged, "With your inherent strength, if you can cultivate using our Federation Martial Warrior methods, your strength would surely increase rapidly, maybe someday you’ll stand at the Federation’s peak."

Lin Chen laughed, "I dare not imagine that, I’m now just thinking about when this thing can be removed, although it doesn’t affect life, it’s like a bomb hanging on my neck, constantly cautious, incredibly unpleasant."

Luo Zheng nodded in understanding, "Who would want to lose their freedom, especially someone like you originally the Master of a Realm, now controlled by someone, losing freedom, such a disparity is massive."

Luo Zheng sighed, very regretfully, "It’s a pity you’re not at liberty, otherwise, I would definitely invite you to join my Adventure Team, our strength would surely be boosted immensely!"

Lin Chen chuckled, "I would like to experience an adventurer’s life, but it’s a pity I’m not free, can’t do anything about it..."
