155: Chapter 155 From God of War to Bandit! Lin Feng Sweeps Through the National Treasury

"A dignified Tier 9 True God and leader of a nation surely wouldn't be unable to produce even ten trillion in cash, right?"

Lin Feng mocked as he looked at the three's constipated expressions.

Empress Amaterasu's stunning Face was covered in frost. "You cannot protect the Great Xia Alliance forever! One day, you will regret this deeply!"

With that, she flipped her jade-like hand and tossed out a transparent crystal emitting dense energy.

Inside, there were exactly ten trillion drops of Divine Power!

This was all the private savings she had accumulated over several hundred years!

Seeing this, the other two could only grit their teeth and pull out their respective savings.

Three priceless crystals fell into his palm.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving thirty trillion drops of Divine Power!"

Thirty trillion in hand!

Lin Feng was overjoyed; this massive sum was enough to squander for a long time.

Though he was laughing internally, Lin Feng's expression remained as cold as ice. Stowing away the huge deposit, his gaze swept over the three Tier 9 True Gods.

"Very well, now you can get lost. Remember, within a hundred years, if you dare cross the border by half a step, I will personally go and dismantle your entire planes."

Facing such a blatant threat, the bodies of the three giants involuntarily shuddered.

Not daring to leave even half a harsh word, Empress Amaterasu directly tore open a Void Realm crack and fled back to her nest with her exclusive territory in a sorry state.

The other two followed close behind.

Watching the three fleeing in panic, Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.

They were all just a bunch of fierce-looking cowards.

Seeing Great Xia as easy to bully, they teamed up to rob it; seeing his strength was tough, they instantly turned into cowed grandsons and obediently paid protection fees.

After stowing the Divine Power, Lin Feng piloted the Chaos Territory and steadily returned to the inner side of the Great Xia Alliance's air defense network.

"Ding! Radar Warning: Tier 9 defense line outpost detected ahead!"

"Ding! Tier 8 defense line outpost detected!"

...

The Great Xia generals waiting in the rear saw Lin Feng return safely and immediately swarmed around him.

"Commander Lin, did those bandits really retreat?"

"Forcing back three Tier 9 True Gods—this achievement of yours is simply unprecedented!"

Everyone sent Divine Thoughts, incoherent with excitement.

"Let's go back to the Main World first before talking."

Lin Feng waved his hand. Tearing through the spatial barrier, he quickly withdrew his consciousness back to reality.

Ten minutes later, holding the newly signed armistice agreement, Lin Feng pushed open the heavy doors of the military-political building's council hall.

Old Long and a group of core executives had already been waiting there for a long time.

The moment Lin Feng appeared, the entire venue fell into absolute silence.

"The contract is settled. Within a hundred years, the three Empires will never dare to step foot across Great Xia's borders!"

Lin Feng's tone was flat, but he dropped a bombshell that instantly made the entire hall explode.

"Quick! Bring it here and let us see!"

A Tier 8 commander's voice cracked with excitement.

This piece of paper had bought the Great Xia Alliance a full hundred years of peace and prosperity!

Although everyone knew deep down that the three Empires might not keep their promises—after all, the true Face of bandits is known to all—

Having this contract was still better than living in fear every day!

Especially since this was a peace Lin Feng had hammered out with his own fists!

The document was quickly passed around the generals and finally handed to Old Long.

Old Long held the parchment scroll, looked at the signatures on it, and his hands couldn't help but tremble violently.

This was the time the Great Xia Alliance had stood with its back the straightest in thousands of years!

What was even more heartening was that Great Xia finally had a true pillar of support!

As long as Lin Feng was alive, it wouldn't matter if this treaty was equivalent to waste paper, because before the enemy acted, they would have to weigh whether they could afford to provoke this god of slaughter!

"Lin Feng, by your own strength alone, you have saved tens of billions of the Alliance's citizens!"

Old Long put down the scroll, his voice trembling with emotion. "On behalf of all the common people in the world, I thank you!"

A thank-you on behalf of everyone in the world carried the weight of Mount Tai!

In an instant, the room full of generals stood up in unison and gave thunderous applause.

Being thanked so solemnly, even Lin Feng, with his thick skin, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Whatever reward you need, the Alliance will absolutely exhaust the national treasury to satisfy you! This is the compensation you deserve!" Old Long struck while the iron was hot.

Once these words were spoken, no one objected. It was only right and proper for a hero to receive a reward.

Lin Feng originally wanted to decline, as protecting the country was his duty,

But seeing everyone's enthusiasm, it would be a buzzkill not to make a request.

"Ahem... Principal, I'm currently lacking a batch of top-tier Magical Artifact forging Materials." Lin Feng got straight to the point.

Now that his savings were overflowing, he could totally explore the Void Realm himself for basic cores.

Moreover, the national treasury definitely wouldn't have Tier 9 Origins.

But top-grade forging Materials were extremely rare.

The defective products the Tang Family had found by scouring the entire Universe earlier simply weren't worthy of his Divine Beasts.

"Forging Materials?"

Old Long frowned slightly. He thought Lin Feng would ask for Origin Crystals, but he didn't expect it to be construction Materials.

With the accumulation of the Great Xia treasury over thousands of years, top-grade Materials were indeed piled up like mountains.

"No problem, follow me," Old Long agreed immediately.

"Everyone, meeting adjourned. Although the agreement is signed, the border defense alarms cannot be lifted. We must triple the troops on the Blood Moon Empire's defense line and patrol day and night!"

Before leaving, Old Long decisively deployed military orders.

A piece of paper cannot lock away the ambition of jackals; only having tough fists is the true way.

Not only for the Blood Moon Empire, but heavy troops were also added to the Mad Bear Empire's defense zone.

This incident made Old Long see clearly that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Once the defense lines were reinforced, even if the enemy forces launched a joint surprise attack, it would be impossible to tear through Great Xia's territory in a short time.

This bought reaction time for Lin Feng, allowing him to drop onto the front lines at any time to decapitate the enemy leaders.

The meeting dispersed, and the various generals rushed back to their posts.

Lin Feng followed Old Long into a top-secret passage and took a special elevator straight to the underground.

Beneath the military-political building, a heavily guarded secret fortress was actually hidden.

"Ding! Tier 7 Origin Crystal detected!"

"Ding! Tier 8 Origin Crystal detected!"

Just as they passed a heavy super-alloy door, the System's notifications continuously rang in his ears.

This was definitely Great Xia's highest national treasury!

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, but unfortunately, when he checked with his Divine Thought, the stock only had about a dozen Tier 8 and a few dozen Tier 7 cores.

Compared to the Tier 9 Ruins he had just looted, this amount was really not worth looking at.

Great Xia locked these up layer by layer like treasures, but in Lin Feng's eyes, they were just some low-grade scraps.

Passing through numerous checkpoints, the two finally reached the dedicated secret room for storing Advanced forging Materials.

The gate opened, and countless storage crystals shimmering with dazzling light were densely packed on special display cabinets.

The thousand-year heritage of the Great Xia Alliance was fully displayed here!

Looking at such a spectacular scene, Lin Feng was deeply shocked.

Advanced Materials were too bulky in the real world, so putting them into storage crystals was the most space-saving method.

The Tang Family Chamber of Commerce's entire warehouse was like a shabby convenience store compared to this place.

"Take whatever you fancy, pick freely," Old Long waved his hand generously.

Although forging Materials were hard to find, compared to Origin cores, they weren't considered scarce strategic resources after all.

"Principal, you're too kind, I'd feel bad..." Lin Feng rubbed his hands and grinned, "Then I really won't be polite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng directly activated 'zero-dollar shopping' mode.

"Divine Willow Branch containing the Law of Thunder? Good stuff!" With a thought, it was immediately put into his backpack.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Iron fused with Five Elements Origin? Peerless Grade! Mine!"

"Nine Nether Strange Stone with innate Karmic Fire attribute? I'll take it all!"

...

Lin Feng was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, accurately picking out the highest grade and most exquisite items in the warehouse at a glance.

His precision and speed were like those of a seasoned bandit.

As one storage crystal after another disappeared into Lin Feng's pocket, Old Long's originally calm expression gradually stiffened, until he was left standing there like a wooden chicken.

He thought this kid would take two items symbolically and leave, but who knew his hands were so dark!

He picked dozens of top-grade items in one go!

And his eyes were incredibly sharp, specifically picking the oldest and highest-quality treasures of the hall!

Old Long's intestines were turning green with regret now.

At this rate, the national treasury would definitely be emptied by this little bandit!

But since he had said the words himself, he couldn't bring himself to go back on them now.

After looting for over an hour, Lin Feng finally gathered most of the Materials needed to forge a Divine Artifact.

Although a few niche ingredients were still missing, he was quite satisfied.

"Done, I'll just take these." Lin Feng turned around and gave Old Long a bright, sunny smile.

"Ahem... As long as you've finished picking..." Old Long's mouth twitched wildly as he forced a smile. "Not taking a bit more? You are our national hero, after all."

This was entirely a polite remark used to save Face.

"Ding! Radar scanned extremely rare high-level Divine Plants nearby!" The System suddenly popped up another prompt.

Rare Spiritual Plants?!

Lin Feng's eyes instantly lit up. Although the Chaos Territory was full of plants, the varieties were too monotonous.

If rare species were transplanted in, it would definitely greatly improve the diversity of the ecosystem.

Since the Principal was being so hospitable, how could he be so rude as to refuse his Face!

"To be honest, my territory is indeed lacking a batch of top-grade flower and plant potted plants!" Lin Feng climbed up the pole without hesitation.

Old Long: "..."

I was just being polite! How does you kid even know there's a royal medicinal garden hidden next door?!

"...As you please."

Old Long was so angry he almost couldn't maintain his poise as a Tier 9 expert. With a dark Face, he pushed open the heavy door of the adjacent herb warehouse.

Lin Feng, familiar with the way, dove in and started a frantic looting spree like a violent storm.

Regardless of the medicinal properties, he pulled out everything he hadn't seen before.

Anyway, with the privilege of "Heavenly Auspiciousness" in hand, even the lowest-level weeds could be turned into Grade 9 Immortal Medicine after a few days of buffing.

These Spiritual Plants could greatly accelerate the progress of civilization evolution.

Looking at the herb racks that were more than half emptied, Old Long's Face was already so dark it could drip ink.

"The Principal is so generous! This time it's truly complete!" Lin Feng patted his bulging pockets, ready to finish up with satisfaction.

Just as he turned around, his peripheral vision suddenly caught another tightly sealed all-titanium alloy door at the end of the corridor.

"Eh? Principal? What's locked behind that door? Could it be the legendary top-grade Divine Pills?"
