novelA Fruitful Return

Qin Feng knew exactly who he wanted to meet first. He moved swiftly toward Wang Zhichao.
"You don't need to pay me the reward for the beast king but I will take home all the loot. Please deliver them to me after they have been collected and packed properly. I guess it's not too much to ask using some of your manpower?"
He had helped Sea City to eradicate waves of beasts. So of course, it was not too much to ask.
Qin Feng spoke using a superior tone. Wang Zhichao could only look up to him now. In fact, everybody was looking at him like he was a hero.
Indeed, he was not much different from a hero now.
"No problem. This is the least we can do to repay you. I will make sure everything is properly arranged." Wang Zhichao finished his sentence with a twisted face.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. These loots are all yours. We will keep watch over them."
"That's right. We won't allow anyone to embezzle even a single material into their own pockets."
"Mr. Qin, you should get some rest now."
Everyone was standing by Qin Feng's side. Wang Zhichao's face could not be any darker.
He did not have any intention to pocket the loot. However, what others said clearly alluded that he was a corrupted man.
Qin Feng nodded to them and went his own way.
The evening glow slowly faded away. It took a lot of time to completely harvest the beast parts. Qin Feng did not plan to sell them out directly as he did in the past. Instead, he asked Tan Yue to prepare for him a cargo truck as he wanted to carry them back to Fengli.
Night fell and people remained vigilant throughout the whole night. Nevertheless, the sea beast tide did not hit again until the next morning. Occasionally, some beasts came ashore but they were easily dealt with by the guards on night watch.
They knew that the month of the sea beast tide had finally come to an end.
Qin Feng brought home more than ten cargo trucks. This was another fruitful trip.
Owing to that, Qin Feng was the greatest hero of this year's sea beast tide, Wang Zhichao and others had also come to bid him farewell. However, their faces could not be any more somber when they saw Qin Feng.
After the catastrophe, people began to rebuild the coastline. Sea City had also sent out drones to check out the situation at Blackstone Fort.
The fort had turned into a ruin. Sea City would need to spend substantially to rebuild the entire thing. This was all thanks to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng sneered. He understood the cold look on their faces and felt for them.
Nonetheless, none of this would have happened if they did not conspire against him in the first place.
They were reaping what they sowed.
"That should do it. Deputy Mayor, I can find my own way back from here on." Qin Feng politely rejected their escort.
Wang Zhichao replied resentfully, "I hope Mr. Qin can be our guest at Sea City again next year. Sea City is extremely safe with you here."
"Haha, " Qin Feng laughed and rebutted, "That would not be necessary. I think Lei Chen will be back in Sea City this time next year. I might not join the event next year since I will probably be in the frontline at that time."
Wang Zhichao wondered how Qin Feng knew that Lei Chen was not around in Sea City. However, his mind was soon distracted by Qin Feng's second sentence. He said in an envious and sarcastic tone, "Wow! Then you will surely create an unprecedented record. We have never had such a young D-tier user from the Three Cities."
The frontline is the shield of the entire human civilization. The Three Cities were considered a relatively safe zone behind it. Even so, these Three Cities were still under constant threat from ultra beasts.
This indicated how dangerous the frontline could be.
Every D-tier must serve at the frontline for three months. They could only opt to return to the city after that.
Wang Zhichao was baffled by Qin Feng's confidence. He had just declared that he was going to reach D-tier by next year.
"Thanks for your encouragement." Qin Feng smiled back lightly.
Wang Zhichao did not say another word as Qin Feng entered his hover car.
All the cargo trucks behind him were also hover-vehicles. The more than ten trucks held the materials of the entire sea beast tide. This was equivalent to ten percent of Sea City's whole asset.
Now it all belonged to one person, Qin Feng.
All of Sea City's executives were envious.
"Deputy Mayor, should we..." One of the military commanders asked after seeing Qin Feng left.
Wang Zhichao glared back at him.
"Should we? Yeah, let's look for some random mercenaries again! Who else could defeat him other than a D-tier now?"
The person hung back sheepishly.
Yang Ping chipped in immediately, "Deputy Mayor, don't be angry. Qin Feng is probably the strongest among all the E-tiers in the Three Cities now. But the stronger he gets, the more attention he would receive. I think it's best to decide what to do only after Mr. Lei is back."
"Okay. Don't bother me with this name again in the future." Wang Zhichao turned around and left sullenly.
Qin Feng was not a problem Wang Zhichao could handle for the moment.
A lot of members from the Dark Coalition did take notice of the large convoy departing from Sea City. However, not a single party dared to rob it. Some even went as far as possible, fearing that Qin Feng might misunderstand them.
Thus, the convoy faced little hassle along the way.
When the trucks reached Fengli, Xue Xingfu could not hold back his jolliness. Though these were technically Qin Feng's private property, the customer that it would draw was still going to bring in a lot of potential revenues.
After all, the news about Qin Feng's heroic act in Sea City had long spread across the Three Cities.
Qin Feng was generally regarded as the hottest aptitude user in town now.
"Why the happy face? I thought you were unwilling to let me go at first?" Qin Feng asked the chubby Xue Xingfu.
"Haha, am I such a short-sighted person?"
Qin Feng shook his head."Now that's some lame hindsight."
Xue Xingfu was not embarrassed and maintained a big smile. He reported the statistics to Qin Feng.
"Mayor, including the items in the truck, the materials that you have retrieved along the way fetched a total of thirty billion!"
That was an astronomical amount.
Xue Xingfu had no idea how Qin Feng achieved this.
The other materials were carried back by Bai Li. It was stored in the garage and passed to Xue Xingfu by Qin Feng when he was back. Xue Xingfu thought that Qin Feng had brought along an enormous spatial equipment so he raised no doubts.
Still, he was baffled by the quality and quantity of the materials.
There were more than ten King-tier materials alone, though there was no ability core and power core. Nevertheless, these materials would still be worth a handsome price.
Of course, the gain this time was still lesser than the time Qin Feng went to the island. He had robbed from others that time and found the hidden treasures. That was why he earned more from that trip.
"Alright. I will entrust the materials to you then."
Xue Xingfu nodded and changed the topic, "Mayor, I made an unauthorized decision and took in an item during your absence. I feel that it might be useful to you."
"Oh? What is it?" Qin Feng was intrigued.
