Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Meteorite

Everyone entered the town one by one according to their arrival order.

At the entrance was a street corner of the town. There were no monsters nearby, allowing the warriors to observe the terrain and communicate with each other.

Li Mengxi and Ruoruo were clearly quite popular. It was rare to see female warriors in the group, let alone two beautiful women. Many people gathered around them to express their concern.

With a smug expression, Ruoruo glanced at Lin Zhen and said, “Lin Zhen, if you regret it now, it's not too late. Mengxi is very popular. If you don't want her, there are plenty of people in line to pursue her.”

Li Mengxi gently twisted Ruoruo's arm: “What are you talking about? Am I a commodity for anyone who wants me?”

“Right, you are a beautiful gunslinger. They can only look and enjoy, but they won't get any benefits.”

Hearing the conversation between the two women, a martial artist finally started to confront Lin Zhen.

A level Nine Warrior with the appearance of a turkey approached Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, I know you. You've made quite a name for yourself these days, but your

99% optimization is nothing. Everyone here is at least a mid-to-late stage Level Eight. You have no advantage here.”

Another strong man also said: “Don't think you're amazing just because you defeated Zhang Huai. He used to be one of us. He just broke through to War General a few days ago. Even though he made it to War General, half of the people here could beat him. I saw your video; you didn't exactly win in the end.”

“That's right. You can deceive those trainees who have never seen the world, but we are all experienced warriors here. We have fought more battles than you can imagine. Zhang Huai had a killing move, but it was destroyed by Du Yanhu. Otherwise, that battle would have ended in mutual destruction.”

“Hmph! Some people can fight each other fiercely, but when facing monsters, they're likely to wet their pants. You've only just left Base City and entered the Wilderness Area. It's better to keep a low profile. Li Mengxi and the others are not someone you can associate with. It's best to be sensible.”

Surrounded by martial artists who wanted to pursue Li Mengxi, Lin Zhen was under attack. Li Mengxi could no longer just stand by and was about to speak up.

Ruoruo pulled her aside: “Don't mind him. This kind of person who doesn't know the situation deserves a lesson. When he realizes the brutality of the wild, he will know to keep a low profile. It's for his own good. Don't tell me you're going soft and want to have some story with him again.”

“I don't, and I won't say anything.” Li Mengxi said with some embarrassment, so she remained silent.

Lin Zhen looked at the circle of martial artists around him and sneered: “When it comes to killing monsters, actions speak louder than words. You people who have been lurking in the Wilderness Area for a long time, can you only brag and talk big here?”

“Damn! You're so arrogant!”

“Alright. Today, I'll show you what a monster harvester looks like and make you admit it.”

“I've seen many braggers, but never one as shameless as you. We'll see each other in a day. Let's see if your kill count can reach half of mine.

“I suggest you hide in some trash bin; don't become monster shit.”

Ruoruo watched Lin Zhen being attacked and said to Li Mengxi: “Mengxi, see? It's a good thing you rejected this guy. He won't be much of a successful martial artist. If it were me, I would have dumped him too.”

“Actually, he's not a bad person; he's just… not quite right for me, I guess.” Li Mengxi looked at Lin Zhen with a hint of struggle in her eyes.

It wasn't that she was heartless towards Lin Zhen. She knew what she wanted and what suited her. She was quite aware that as a martial artist, she could only rely on her well-trained weapons and would not achieve much. Knowing the difficulty of life, she had long been determined to find a strong enough support. Obviously, Lin Zhen did not meet her standards.

“Alright, alright! I see you're a bit moved. Let's go and find a high ground first.

That way, we can make the most of our firepower. We're gambling with the Demon Hunters this time. Let's give our team leader a nice surprise.”

“Alright, let's go.”

Li Mengxi glanced back at Lin Zhen, sighed in her heart but did not say anything.

Seeing their goddess leave, the martial artists no longer surrounded Lin Zhen. They needed to use their limited time to kill as many monsters as possible.

Lin Zhen took out the Black Dragon Spear and slowly walked along a small road towards the town.

After thousands of years, the town was already in ruins. Many houses had collapsed, forming a vast area of wreckage. Roars of monsters came from the ruins, like a demonic realm.

Walking along the edge of the small town for a while, Lin Zhen didn't rush into the town, but stopped in the buffer zone between the town and the isolation belt.

At the ruins of a collapsed house, Lin Zhen found a big rock to sit on.

He took off the backpack he was carrying and took out a lot of bits and pieces from it.

“Alloy chisel, it can break open the outer layer of meteorites.”

“Alloy scraper, it can remove the stone chips from the surface of dark energy stones.”

“Fossil powder and dissolving agents, in combination with breathing and exhaling techniques, can absorb dark energy stones into the human body, strengthening it. This method is known to everyone in the Star Realm and is specially used for Martial Artists below the Star Realm. However, this method is not yet known to people in this era.”

“If it weren't for the fact that meteorites are prohibited items and not allowed to be bought or sold, I could quickly reach the peak of Warrior Level and even break through by buying them in large quantities.”

“It seems that I should visit the black market if I have the chance, maybe I can find something good there.”

After putting these things away, Lin Zhen didn't hurry into the town, but warmed up with the breathing and exhaling technique. About twenty minutes later, he felt that he was in his best condition and stopped warming up. He then took out his phone to look at it.

He had received a message on his phone that mentioned him, and now he had time to check it.

The person who mentioned Lin Zhen was Zhao Liang, asking with concern how Lin Zhen was doing.

Lin Zhen replied to Zhao Liang that he was fine and would be taking action soon. Then, he started browsing the forum.

Upon opening it, he found a post on the forum.

“Came to the small town but didn't dare to enter, panting heavily on the edge of the town. So-called genius is just a coward.”

The one who posted this was Lan Xuan, the one who had previously attacked Lin Zhen and whose appearance resembled that of a turkey. There were also several screenshots of the video, in which Lin Zhen stayed in the same spot

There were a bunch of follow-up comments.

“It's understandable. I struggled mentally when I first fought monsters too. Lin Zhen, keep going, I believe you'll rise.”

“What's there to understand? Lin Zhen has a bit of fame, being so timid really disappoints me.”

“From now on, I'm no longer a fan. Lin Zhen is trash!”

“Second floor posts have always been stupid, this statement is not wrong at all. ”

“Flowers in a greenhouse truly can't withstand wind and waves. For Martial Arts Institute students to become real Martial Artists, the mental barrier is a big issue.”

“Lin Zhen, look at our spoils of war with Mengxi. Do you think you can compare with us?” This comment was left by Ruoruo, along with a screenshot of her and Li Mengxi holding up a string of monster ears with a rope. There were about twenty of them, all harvested within half an hour.

Lin Zhen was quite happy to see Li Mengxi, but this Ruoruo next to her was quite annoying. Lin Zhen didn't like this person.

Although he didn't like her, Lin Zhen didn't see the need to compete with a little girl.

Picking up the Black Dragon Spear, Lin Zhen headed toward the town.

“During these days, I have been constantly practicing my spear techniques and spiritual power. Now it's time to test the results… Wait! I remember who this Ruoruo is!”

Lin Zhen suddenly stopped, the light in his eyes flickering as if he had remembered something important..
