Just as Luo Hongguo and several of his co-workers were preparing to continue moving, suddenly, a fat, middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the furniture store.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Several porters greeted him one after another.
"You don't need to move this truckload of goods today. A special situation occurred in the owner's home, so this batch of goods was temporarily canceled. You guys should move these goods back to the store first."
The boss was probably in a bad mood because he didn't receive the payment for the goods, and his tone of voice when speaking to several workers was also very bad.
After giving the instructions, he turned back into the store to enjoy the air conditioning.
Porters are paid on a piece-rate basis, but they can only get commissions if the furniture is sold.
In a situation like this, where the owner cancels the contract suddenly, your work would be in vain and you wouldn't get a penny.
Seeing that this truckload of goods did not need to be moved anymore, the few people had no choice but to move the few items that had just been loaded onto the truck back off.
"Damn it, not a penny of commission, and the boss has a sour face, what a joke."
"Hey, Lao Tian, stop talking. The boss is probably in a bad mood because we didn't make this deal. If you have to work with him for a long time, you will always suffer some losses. There's nothing you can do about this kind of thing. It's like this for all employees."
"Fortunately, most of the furniture has not been moved out of the store, otherwise we would have been really ripped off this time."
Luo Feng was standing aside, watching this situation helplessly.
I could only silently hope in my heart that I could become a warrior as soon as possible, make more money, and let my father never have to suffer like this again.
Doing hard labor is not only physically tiring, but it is even more mentally tiring to have a boss who is inconsiderate to his employees.
Seeing his father sweating all over, Luo Feng also wanted his father to go home with him earlier, so he stepped forward to help.
During the process of moving the goods, Luo Feng discovered that these thousands of kilograms of goods were now easily moved in his hands.
"My spiritual master has awakened. How much has his power increased?"
"I will go back and practice genetic energy. Once I succeed, I will probably be able to reach the level of a mid-level warrior at least. Once my spiritual power is awakened, I will be able to make money faster."
After helping his father move, Luo Hongguo, in a happy mood, said hello to several co-workers and the boss and went home.
While walking on the road, Luo Feng also shared the good news with his mother and younger brother.
Let's go back to ten minutes ago.
In the center of Yian District, in a 66-story commercial office building.
Zhang Zelong was dealing with a pile of contracts in front of him.
"What's wrong with me today? My right eyelid has been twitching non-stop."
Zhang Zelong rubbed his eyes.
"Ding ding ding~~"
At this moment, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
Zhang Zelong took a look and saw that it was Liu Yingcai, deputy director of the Yian District Police Department.
After a few seconds, Zhang Zelong picked up the phone.
"Brother Liu, why did you think of calling me today?"
There was no sound for a long time on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Zelong suddenly felt a bad premonition.
"Brother Zhang, I have some unfortunate news to tell you."
The voice on the other end of the phone was very heavy.
"Tell me."
"Your son Zhang Haobai just had a traffic accident on the side of the road. He crashed his car into a flower bed and died."
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Zelong felt as if he was struck by lightning.
I worked so hard to raise my son until he was 18 years old, and trained him to become a senior student in a martial arts school. He just got into a top university in the college entrance examination, and he just died like that?
Zhang Zelong couldn't accept it no matter what.
"Impossible, my son was a senior student in a martial arts school, how could he die in a car accident?"
"We did a preliminary check and found that Haobai was driving under the influence, and many witnesses at the scene claimed that he was the one who suddenly drove onto the sidewalk, which led to the accident. This rules out other possibilities,"
said Liu Yingcai.
Zhang Zelong was speechless. He knew a little about what kind of person his son was. He often went to bars to hang out at such a young age.
But I'm busy with work at my own company and have no time to take care of him.
Before, when he called his son to ask him to come home and look at the newly bought furniture, he heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone. He guessed that Zhang Haobai spent the night in the bar.
"By the way, there is another incident at the scene. It's a bit strange. I want to tell you about it."
Liu Yingcai suddenly said again.
"Tell me."
"According to witnesses, Zhang Haobai seemed to have hit someone with his car. The man was covered in blood, but he walked away safely afterwards."
Liu Yingcai said quickly.
Zhang Zelong also felt that something was unusual.
It is impossible for a normal person to walk on his own if he is hit and covered in blood.
Moreover, if you are hit by a car, even if the driver dies, the driver's family will probably be asked for compensation.
"What's that man's name?"
Zhang Zelong asked.
"He is also a high school graduate and a classmate of Zhang Haobai. His name is Luo Feng."
"Luo Feng..."
After Zhang Zelong pondered for a few seconds, he guessed the ins and outs of the matter.
I heard my son complain about the name Luo Feng when we were having dinner at home some time ago.
It was said that Luo Feng was a poor boy from the slums, who relied on his strong strength and often caused trouble for him.
Zhang Zelong could feel that his son was extremely resentful towards Luo Feng.
Zhang Zelong quickly figured it out based on his son's personality.
His son probably drank some wine and accidentally ran into Luo Feng on the roadside. He wanted to take revenge on Luo Feng, but ended up being hit and killed.
But Luo Feng was fine.
Naturally, he would not think that his son did not die in a car accident, but was killed by mental power. However, mental power is too scarce after all, so he could not have thought of it.
"Could my son's death be related to this Luo Feng?
"No matter what, my son died because of him. This Luo Feng must also die, even if he has to be buried with my son."
Zhang Zelong thought to himself and then spoke.
"Brother Liu, I suspect that Luo Feng has a lot to do with the death of my son. Please help me catch him and investigate him thoroughly. You will benefit a lot in the future."
When he said the word "investigate", Zhang Zelong deliberately raised his tone.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, this is too formal. This is our duty."
Liu Yingcai quickly agreed with a smile.
Liu Yingcai knew the Zhang family's background clearly.
The Zhang brothers, one dragon and one tiger, are very famous in Yian District.
One is in business, the other in military.
The elder brother is the boss of a large company and the younger brother is an extremely powerful warrior.
For such a family, their network of relationships is naturally complex.
At noon, Luo Feng's family was having a happy meal.
"Xiaofeng, next month will be the combat test for warriors. I heard that the disability rate in the combat test is quite high, and there are even deaths. You must be careful."
Mother Gong Xinlan warned with some concern.
"Oh, we are living in a good day, please don't say such discouraging words, Xiaofeng will be fine."
Father Luo Hongguo said immediately with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, Mom and Dad, you may not know, but when my brother was a senior student in the martial arts gym, he could beat three people at once. He was very good in actual combat. If he can't win, then the others will be even less able to win. You don't have to worry."
His parents didn't know about the fighting in the martial arts gym, but Luo Hua, who slept in the same room with Luo Feng, naturally knew about it.
Just when Luo Feng was about to comfort his parents.
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by violent and brutal knocks on the door.
"Is anyone there? We are from the Yian District Police Department. Based on a traffic accident that happened this morning, please ask Luo Feng to go back with us to investigate."
Luo Feng frowned.
The soundproofing in the house was very poor, and Luo Feng and his family could hear clearly the voices talking outside.
"Huh? Xiaofeng, what's going on?"
The whole family was also surprised.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, it's a small matter."
Based on the behavior of the group of people outside and the original novel, Luo Feng quickly realized that these were most likely people invited by the Zhang family.
Luo Feng picked up the phone and made a call calmly.
Although he has now passed the assessment for being a quasi-warrior, the information will take a few days to arrive.
He cannot yet enjoy the privileges of a quasi-warrior.
The police wanted to arrest him, and he had no choice but to cooperate.
But Luo Feng didn't want to go with these people, otherwise he would definitely not end up well, so he could only call for help.
The call was connected quickly.
"Luo Feng, you're having problems with your cultivation so soon? Are you having problems with your genetic energy?"
The voice of Jiang Nian, the head of Yian District, came from the other end.
"Instructor, it's not a problem of training, it's like this..."
Luo Feng recounted what happened in the morning.
He also expressed his own inference.
Of course, Luo Feng would not tell anyone about using mental power to kill Zhang Haobai.
Always keep some cards in your hand.
Luo Feng just said that Zhang Haobai wanted to hit him to death with his car, but he dodged it and died after crashing into the flower bed.
If Luo Feng was just an ordinary quasi-warrior, Jiang Nian might not care about such things at all.
But Luo Feng is now 18 years old, and some of his talents have been revealed, so he can be considered a young talent.
Jiang Nian is naturally willing to help with this kind of small favor.
What's more, Luo Feng has already passed the warrior assessment and is not under the jurisdiction of an ordinary police station.
After a few words with Jiang Nian, the knocking on the door outside became louder and louder.
"Open the door, or we'll break it down by force."
An impatient shout came from outside.
Just when the police outside could no longer contain themselves and were ready to break the door violently.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and Luo Feng looked at the policemen at the door with a cold face.
"Are you Luo Feng, the man who fled the scene of the accident? Come with us."
The bald policeman in the front was obviously the leader and he said directly and impolitely.
When Luo Feng heard this, he burst into laughter.
I'm just a pedestrian walking normally on the sidewalk, but how could they call it a hit-and-run?
"I'm sorry, I just passed the warrior assessment today, and you..."
Luo Feng looked at the people in front of him with disdain.
"You're not qualified to arrest me."
Luo Feng saw that the bald policeman came up and directly accused him of hit-and-run without giving him any face.
If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard.
Although quasi-warriors are not warriors yet, they have certain privileges and are not under the control of the ordinary police system. Only the Jiangnan Security Bureau is qualified to arrest them.
Luo Feng is not afraid of this group of people at all now.
"A prospective warrior?"
Several policemen who were about to lose their temper paused when they saw the young man in front of them, not knowing whether they should believe what the young man said.
"Boss, this..."
Several policemen looked at the bald policeman who was in the lead.
But they didn't need to worry, because after a few seconds, the bald policeman's cell phone rang.
When the bald policeman saw the number, he realized it was Director Wang from the police station, who was one level higher than Deputy Director Liu who had asked them to arrest someone.
The bald policeman dared not delay and answered the call immediately.
After being scolded by the person on the other end of the phone, he hung up.
Looking at Luo Feng again, the bald policeman's expression immediately changed 180 degrees and revealed a flattering smile.
"Sorry, classmate Luo Feng, we made a mistake before. We are sorry for disturbing you. We will leave now."
"Wait."
Luo Feng's face darkened. He was not going to let go of those who wanted to deal with him easily. He was not a man who could be easily talked to.
Luo Feng quickly wrote down the names and police numbers on the badges on the chests of several people.
Several policemen stood there awkwardly.
"Tell me, who asked you to arrest me?"
Several people immediately looked embarrassed.
You can't say this casually. If you let it slip, they will lose their Wusha hats.
Seeing this situation, Luo Feng knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of him, so he could only give up.
"You guys go now."
Several policemen left in disgrace as if they had been pardoned.
Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan and Luo Hua, who were standing behind Luo Feng, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the police are very intimidating and no one dares to go against them.
Unexpectedly, when facing them, Luo Feng acted like a superior.
Just a phone call and they were sent away.
For the first time, the family experienced the rights and conveniences that warriors brought.
The night was as dark as ink. Tonight the moon was covered by dark clouds. The city center was brightly lit, but there was no light outside the low-rent housing.
In the small room of 10 square meters, Luo Feng waited until his brother fell asleep before slowly sitting up.
"Should I practice earth magic first, or genetic energy first?"
Luo Feng was full of yearning for both things.
After learning magic, you can not only cast magic, but more importantly, you can enhance your mental power.
With my talent, practicing magic should be easy.
In the original work, he did not practice mental power at all in the early stage, nor did he have any secret method to practice mental power. He just relied on improving his physical strength to passively absorb the dark golden sphere in his mind to strengthen his mental power.
But these mental powers are his own talents and have been stored long ago.
Just like money in the bank from birth.
Once the energy of the dark golden sphere is absorbed, the storage will be used up.
And by practicing magic, one can continuously generate and enhance one's mental power.
It is equivalent to continuing to deposit money into it.
This is completely different.
Cultivating genetic energy can quickly improve physical fitness, especially for the first time, the improvement will be particularly large.
"Forget it, I'd better practice genetic energy first. Now that my mental power has been awakened, I have no shortage of long-range attack methods. I should focus on improving my strength quickly. It won't be too late to learn magic later."
So Luo Feng began to recall the "Genetic Energy Cultivation Method" he had read in the Extreme Hall before.
