Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Becoming Famous

Translator: 549690339

If Lin Zhen's brawl with the Dragon Slayer in the bar earlier had given him a bit of fame, and his 99% gene potion enhancement shocked people, then his one-minute gamble with Zhang Huai today completely solidified his reputation and made people realize the extent of his abilities.

A Seventh-level Warrior challenging a War General was almost certainly doomed to defeat, but Lin Zhen managed to win.

One shot pierced Zhang Huai's shoulder, and his nose was crushed, his face bloody. Lin Zhen, on the other hand, remained unscathed, and no one believed that he had lost.

First, the internet was quiet for three seconds, and then it exploded.

“Heavens! What did I just see? Lin Zhen's strength is so monstrous; he actually managed to beat Zhang Huai. Are the students so strong now?”

“I want the spear technique Lin Zhen just used. Why haven't I ever seen it before? Even through the screen, it seemed like I could feel the gale coming at me. That spear strike was almost impossible to dodge. If it wasn't for Zhang Huai's slightly stronger power, Lin Zhen could have made him kneel with just one shot.”

“Compared to his spear technique, I'm more impressed with Lin Zhen's evasive skills. Zhang Huai's continuous fierce attacks didn't even touch a single hair of Lin Zhen. How amazing is his nerve response?”

“You can't say not a single hair was touched. Lin Zhen lost a strand of hair, but it was useless; the loss of those few hairs didn't affect his combat power at all.”

“The captain of the Blood Hand squad is disgusting, actually intercepting Lin Zhen's final shot. Otherwise, Zhang Huai would be singing 'Conquer' right now.”

“Does the Demon Hunter squad still accept members? I want to join Lin Zhen as a teammate.”

“Am I the only one who thinks Lin Zhen's final slap on Zhang Huai's mouth was incredibly fast and cool?”

“Lin Zhen GG, I am a 17-year-old reporter at the Base City News Bureau, my measurement is xxxx, please knock me down and let me bear your children… .”

However, most of the praise for Lin Zhen came from student martial artists who hadn't yet ventured out to hunt and had plenty of time to spend online. In contrast, experienced Martial Artists who often ventured outside didn't take Lin Zhen very seriously. Some voices of rebuttal soon drowned in the sea of praise.

Ye Tiancheng shook his phone in front of Lin Zhen: “Kid, you've really made a name for yourself. Even our Demon Hunter squad has become famous because of you. I posted a thread, and I've already got over 10,000 new followers on my account!”

Shi Lei was even more delighted: “Come on, let's go out and celebrate tonight. We'll eat and drink to our heart's content at Millennium Time. We'll celebrate gaining Lin Zhen, the super potential stock. But I won't pay for the expenses. Lin Zhen has won 30 million in two bets, so we're going to splurge.”

Lin Zhen, who had defeated Zhang Huai in a head-to-head battle, had relieved a lot of his past-life frustration and was filled with anticipation for the future.

In high spirits, he laughed: 'Well, I guess I'll play the rich man this time. Today

I'll drink with you all until I pass out.”

The Demon Hunter squad members all piled into the car, no longer as serious and reserved as when they first met. They each showed their true nature, having clearly recognized Lin Zhen.

The two police officers drove away, while no one gave a second glance to the thugs Lin Zhen had defeated.

Without the protection of Zhang Huai and his associates, nobody would bother Lin Zhen over the deaths of these thugs.

After the feast, which cost Lin Zhen more than half a million, he enjoyed a taste of celebrity treatment. Many students actively approached him for autographs and photos, earning him countless eye-rolls from Ye Tiancheng.

Drinking from morning until night, Lin Zhen was somewhat dizzy when he finally returned to Jiangbei Villa by taxi. He slept soundly the whole night.

The next morning, Lin Zhen woke up and had breakfast with his parents, who were unaware of his fight. As non-martial artists, they couldn't access the Martial Artist forum and see the posts about the incident.

Lin Zhen got a call from Zhao Liang early in the morning, informing him that he could rest at home for the day and meet at the Martial Arts Hall at 7 a.m.

tomorrow. The Demon Hunter squad was heading out to the Wilderness Area.

Lin Zhen agreed. The destiny of a Martial Artist was to fight incessantly. Now,

Martial Artists were at a disadvantage compared to monsters. Although Base City had an army guarding it, the situation was still grim, and the government encouraged Martial Artists to venture out and hunt monsters.

Martial Artists needed a lot of money, better equipment, better weapons, and a better quality of life. Hunting monsters was the fastest way to make money.

Monster meat was edible and highly nutritious, their skin could be turned into bulletproof vests, bones could be used as medicine, and items like teeth and horns could be made into weapons. Even some monsters had crystals inside their bodies, which were essential for concocting genetic potions and other valuable items.

Whether it was the military, a martial arts academy, or Base City, they would all buy monster corpses, with fixed prices for each type.

As a martial artist, one would typically hunt once, return to earn money, rest and practice for a while, and then venture out again, repeating the cycle.

In Ice City Base City, there were about a thousand martial artist squads venturing out. The Demon Hunter squad wasn't outstanding among them and was even relatively weak, as the members' individual strengths were on the lower side.

Although Gale was the top Martial Arts Academy, it didn't mean that every squad was strong. Each academy had elite squads with highly skilled members. Squads like the Demon Hunters could only be considered lower-class.

For example, the Blood Hand Squad of the Dragon Slayers wasn't an elite squad either, but its overall strength was slightly stronger than that of the Demon Hunters.

After ending his call with Zhao Liang, Lin Zhen received a call from Meng Dong.

“Lin Zhen, I successfully used the customized potion!”

“Really? That's great! Congratulations! How's the effect?” Lin Zhen wasn't surprised; Meng Dong had also chosen private customization in his previous life, which had helped him make a name for himself as a third-class student.

“Of course, I'm not as good as you, but it's still pretty good. My overall qualities have improved by 76%, and the martial arts school has already signed me up as a second-tier student. Haha, now I'm also a senior student at the early stage of the seventh level!”

“Great! That's worth celebrating. Where are you?”

“I was thinking the same thing. I saw a newly opened restaurant called Flying Bird Fragrance Bar downstairs of the An Group buildings today. Their specialty is mutated birds. Let's check it out.”

“OK, I'll be there soon.”

Lin Zhen hung up the phone, planning to take a day off and go out for a walk. For students who have taken genetic potion in the martial arts school, there's

Martial Artists' team. The Wilderness Area is the best training ground.

However, he didn't immediately go out. He first made some purchases online.

First, he bought protection, a set of mutated deer leather clothes, trousers, and boots.

Within the wilderness area, there are many things that pose a threat to a martial artist, not necessarily large mutated beasts, such as hedgehogs, snakes, rats, etc. Some have long-range attack abilities, or carry viruses, so necessary protection is vital.

After spending more than a million for a set of protection, Lin Zhen also ordered two cars.

A bulletproof off-road car worth more than 5 million and a 4 million bulletproof sports sedan.

He would drive the off-road car himself, while the sports sedan was for his parents.

Now it's convenient to order a car, especially for martial artists, as there's no need for much paperwork. You pay, and the seller will deliver the car with a full tank of gas within half an hour.

Besides these, Lin Zhen spent some more money to buy many small items for hunting. Lin Zhen had a knowledge far beyond others. With this point alone, he could do many things others couldn't.

In a short while, the car and a large bag of small items arrived. Lin Liye and his wife couldn 't stop smiling. They didn't expect not only to live in a villa but also have such great cars. Their son has really made it.

Thirty million had become twenty million in the blink of an eye, and Lin Zhen didn't plan on spending any more money.

He now started to save money because he knew that soon, a ground-breaking product would come to light.

It's the result of years of research on meteorites collected from meteor showers by the technology department. This meteorite is called Void Stone, and after being refined by Star Realm experts, it can make a ring capable of holding objects called a Space Ring.

The technology department has been researching meteorites for many years, gradually discovering some of their secrets and developing high-tech products like the Space Ring, but they still haven't truly understood meteorites.

Only someone like Lin Zhen, who came back from the future, knows the great wealth hidden in these meteorites and how helpful it is for a martial artist's cultivation.

For example, the Space Ring has its own space, which is a vacuum state that can hold non-living items.

This time, the technology department has developed small Space Rings with three cubic meters of space inside. With merely that, the selling price of a Ring has reached 200 million.

As soon as these rings hit the market, they triggered a buying frenzy, and in the later stages, the price soared even more, making it hard to buy one for even 500 million.

Lin Zhen calculated that there was about a month left before the Space Ring went on sale. He had to have 200 million by then.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Lin Zhen drove his new off-road vehicle out of the villa area.

Just as he was leaving, Meng Dong called again: “Where are you, Lin Zhen?”

“On my way, what's up?”

“Hurry up! Guess who I saw at the Flying Bird Fragrance Bar? ”

“Who?”

“An Ning! There's a man shamelessly pestering her. You need to hurry up. I overheard their conversation, and it seems An Ning might be the lady of the An family.”
