118: Orders from a C-level powerhouse

Han Fei's brows were tightly knitted, forming a deep 'river' character, and his fingers gripped his phone tightly.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Shuai's voice carried a hint of imperceptible remorse, "This was requested by several C-Rank Experts from the Du Family; they need your assistance."

If he had heard 'C-Rank Experts' before, Han Fei might have felt some trepidation.

But things were different now; since he mastered the various magic of the Luna Fairy Spirit, he had firmly stepped into the ranks of B-Rank Experts, and he was the kind of B-Rank Expert with almost no obvious weaknesses!

Whether soaring above the Nine Heavens or lurking beneath the ground.

Whether manipulating raging flames or driving surging water.

Even in mental confrontations, consciousness manipulation, and even instantaneous movement in the Void Realm, Han Fei could effortlessly wield all sorts of magic.

If he could skillfully fuse and flexibly apply these magic spells, Han Fei was confident he could break through hundreds of C-Rank Experts besieging him.

What's more, even without relying on magic, his current Physical Body alone was enough to easily suppress ordinary C-Rank Experts, leaving them no room to retaliate.

Therefore, in Han Fei's eyes, C-Rank Experts were nothing more than slightly larger ants, not enough to warrant his attention.

With this confidence, Han Fei spoke with great firmness, "Tell them I have something to deal with right now; I'll go find them after I'm done."

After speaking, Han Fei ended the call without hesitation.

His gaze swept over the crowd, looking into the distance.

There, an instructor was leading a large group of new recruits, marching grandly.

"If everyone is limited to one skewer, I should be able to complete the task in half an hour."

Han Fei calculated silently.

He certainly couldn't give up the continuous task; once he gave it up, the task would be completely terminated.

It wouldn't be easy to find such a good task next time.

Blue Moon Chant saw Han Fei hang up the phone and was about to bring up the matter of taking him as a disciple.

At this moment, an instructor suddenly ran up beside her, breathlessly asking Black Dragon, "Black Dragon, is this the barbecue stall?"

After Black Dragon tasted Han Fei's special beef skewers earlier, he didn't keep it a secret, immediately publicizing the information in the instructor group.

The information spread like wildfire among the instructors.

Someone was selling barbecue that not only tasted good, but its strength-boosting effect was more than ten times better than the hotel's strength dishes?!

More importantly, the price was also very cheap?!

This shocked all the instructors, making them doubt their eyes.

One should know that the strength dishes sold in the hotel cost 5000 treasure chest coins per serving, and they had to be settled with 100-denomination currency.

In comparison, Han Fei's beef skewers had a cost-performance ratio at least a hundred times higher!

Thus, this news acted like a magnet, attracting many instructors to lead their new recruits, flocking to the stall.

They were afraid that if they were a step late, this rare delicacy would be snapped up.

"That's right, it's this one!" Black Dragon laughed heartily, patting the shoulder of the newly arrived instructor, Xu Feng, his eyes full of affirmation.

Hearing this, Xu Feng's eyes gleamed with disbelief, and his voice trembled slightly as he pressed, "Is what you posted in the group true? Is it really more than ten times better than the hotel's strength dishes?!"

One should know that even some Three-Star Gourmet Hunters' strength dishes might not have such a good effect.

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Black Dragon's Face, and he said with a touch of playfulness, "What, Old Xu? You don't believe my words anymore? If you don't believe me, then hurry up and get lost; don't disturb my barbecue."

Beside them, Blue Moon Chant listened quietly to their conversation, her heart feeling as if it had been struck by a giant wave, momentarily in a daze.

These beef skewers can increase strength?

The effect is more than ten times better than their hotel's strength dishes?

How is this possible?

After she ate them, she didn't feel anything at all.

Seeing Black Dragon so certain, Xu Feng's last trace of doubt instantly vanished.

He quickly turned and shouted to Han Fei, who was busy at the grill, "Boss, I want 200 skewers of beef!"

Hearing this, Han Fei gently raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the group of new recruits behind Xu Feng, and said lightly, "Sorry, from now on, each person is limited to one skewer."

"Ah?!"

Xu Feng and Black Dragon almost simultaneously exclaimed, their expressions as if struck by a bolt from the blue, full of disbelief.

"Boss, why did you suddenly start limiting sales?" Black Dragon blinked his big eyes, his tone carrying a hint of childlike confusion.

Han Fei patiently explained, "I don't have much ingredients left, and I want to try my best to let everyone taste my barbecue."

After saying that, he even specifically glanced around at the surrounding crowd, a hint of apology in his eyes.

Hearing Han Fei's answer, Xu Feng and Black Dragon exchanged glances, then understood.

That's right, such delicious and effective barbecue naturally couldn't be monopolized by just a few of them.

People in the military are very united; they habitually share any good things they find.

So, Black Dragon quickly pulled out his phone and sent an urgent notice in the instructors' WeChat group: "The barbecue is now limited! Hurry up, first come, first served, it's almost sold out!"

Within a few minutes, a large group of instructors led their new recruit teams, surging in like a tide.

A sea of people quickly gathered in front of the barbecue stall.

Although there were many people, the order was well-maintained, and everyone waited patiently in line, filled with anticipation.

They occasionally whispered to each other, discussing, and the air was filled with an indescribable excitement and anticipation.

At this moment, an instructor who had just finished his skewer squeezed to the front of the line, anxiously pleading with Han Fei, "Boss, can I buy a few more skewers? I'm willing to pay extra!"

Han Fei smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, each person is limited to one skewer; this is so more people can taste it."

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel deep respect for Han Fei's fairness.

Some straightforward individuals even cheered loudly, greatly praising Han Fei's actions.

Blue Moon Chant in the crowd was already dumbfounded.

She was not only shocked by the strength-boosting effect of the barbecue but also by Han Fei's barbecue skills.

His technique before was at most Two-Star Gourmet Hunter level.

But now, Blue Moon Chant could clearly see that his barbecue skills had definitely reached Three-Star Gourmet Hunter level.

Even surpassing hers!

"Was he hiding his strength before?"

Realizing she had misjudged him, Blue Moon Chant felt a surge of shame, thinking that she had actually wanted to take him as a disciple earlier.

As time passed, more and more people tasted Han Fei's beef skewers.

They all praised Han Fei's culinary skills, and everyone felt a significant increase in their own strength.

Many new recruits said that this was the most delicious barbecue they had ever eaten, and it also had such a noticeable strength-enhancing effect, which was simply incredible.

"Boss, your barbecue is truly amazing, even better than a Three-Star Gourmet Hunter's!"

A Senior instructor, with military insignia on his shoulder and sharp eyes, held up the skewer he had just finished, giving a big thumbs-up, his words full of praise.

His voice was loud, piercing through the surrounding clamor, drawing a chorus of agreement from those around him.

Facing such praise, Han Fei merely smiled faintly, his brows revealing a sense of detachment and serenity: "You flatter me."

The Senior instructor's eyes gleamed as he continued, "Boss, are you interested in a long-term cooperation with our military? We can guarantee the supply of ingredients, and you only need to be responsible for cooking; the remuneration will definitely satisfy you."

Han Fei's state of mind was as calm as an ancient well; he deeply understood the mission he bore and the path he was on, a trajectory that could not be easily deviated from.

He politely declined, "Thank you for your suggestion, but I currently have no plans for long-term cooperation."

A hint of regret flashed across the Senior instructor's Face, but he quickly regained his professional smile, pulling out a beautifully crafted postcard from his pocket with his contact information printed on it.

"If you change your mind in the future, you can call me anytime."

Han Fei politely took the postcard, gently caressing its surface, as if feeling the other party's sincerity and anticipation.

"If I change my mind in the future, I will contact you."

At this moment, Han Fei's phone suddenly vibrated, the screen flashing Xiao Shuai's name.

Han Fei originally wanted to hang up directly, but thinking about how much Xiao Shuai usually helped him, he reluctantly answered the call.

"Mr. Han, those people from the Du Family want you to come over immediately, otherwise..."

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Shuai's voice sounded somewhat hurried, his words revealing a hint of imperceptible tension and warning.

A cold smile played on Han Fei's lips, as if he could see the other person's expression through the phone waves, "Otherwise what?"

His voice was calm and cold, carrying an undeniable authority.

Xiao Shuai seemed to be forced by this Aura, a faint sound coming from his throat, as if he was trying to swallow a dry gulp of saliva.

Then, his tone became even more cautious, saying word by word, "Otherwise, they might come to visit you directly."

"Then let them come."

Han Fei's answer was simple and direct, without the slightest fear or retreat, as if what he was about to Face was merely an insignificant storm.

Just a few C-Rank Experts; if they dared to come, Han Fei could make them kneel and sing for mercy.

Regarding Han Fei's indifferent attitude, Xiao Shuai seemed quite anxious, his voice tinged with a hint of pleading: "Mr. Han, don't be like this; those are C-Rank Experts from the Du Family! Even our Special Guard Team has to give them some Face. If you offend them, there will be a lot of trouble."

"Du Family..."

Han Fei murmured softly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He remembered that Second Lieutenant Yang Guodong had mentioned this Family to him.

The Du Family, a hegemon in the Dragon Kingdom's warlord circles, its power was so strong that it ranked among the top three in the Dragon Kingdom.

Its Family members not only held important positions in various Dragon Kingdom armies but also possessed numerous B-Rank and even A-Rank Experts, making it a true giant force.

Even a behemoth like the Special Guard Team had to defer to the Du Family, not daring to easily provoke them.

However, even knowing the Du Family's power, Han Fei dismissed it.

As the child of prophecy, the future savior of the Dragon Kingdom, he did not need to bow to anyone, nor did he need to show weakness to the Du Family.

In his opinion, if the Du Family's Experts dared to attack him, it would be a betrayal of the country and an open provocation to the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Behind him, there was the mysterious Dragon God's protection.

And the former Great Sage, Luna Fairy Spirit, as a strong backing.

Unless the Du Family could send out quasi-S-Rank top Experts, otherwise, threatening him was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

So, Han Fei's lips curved into an unruly smile, and he slowly said, "You go tell those people from the Du Family that I'm busy right now; if they really want my assistance, they must wait until I'm done!"

"Mr. Han..."

Han Fei hung up the phone before Xiao Shuai could finish speaking.

Then he put on a smile and distributed beef skewers one by one to the new recruits in front of him.

The new recruits took the beef skewers, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement, as if this was not just a skewer of barbecue, but a ticket to becoming an Expert.

They tasted it carefully, each bite an infinite fantasy of the future, that pure joy and satisfaction blooming on their young Faces.

Watching them eat with such relish, Han Fei was also very pleased.

Every time the new recruits took a bite of barbecue, Han Fei could feel his body noticeably strengthening by a degree.

Occasionally, there would be some small surprises.

For example, various special skills enhanced by more than ten times.

Lockpicking skill, reconnaissance skill, disguise skill, and so on.

These various abilities, enhanced by more than ten times, made Han Fei feel that he was advancing step by step towards an omnipotent Realm, and an unprecedented heroic ambition surged in his heart.

This made him wish Xiao Shuai would immediately send a large amount of ingredients so that the soldiers in front of him could eat until they were full.

However, what Han Fei didn't know was that at this moment, Xiao Shuai's Face was as pale as paper, and his fingers trembled slightly as he dialed a number.

The other end of the phone quickly connected, followed by a voice full of impatience and anger: "Hello?! Has that person arrived yet?!"

"He, he said... he'll be there shortly..." Xiao Shuai's voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, carrying undisguised fear and unease.

The person he was talking to on the phone was Du Tiger, a well-known C-Rank Expert of the Du Family.

Just thinking about the consequences of angering this Expert made Xiao Shuai's heart pound uncontrollably.

"Shortly?!"

Du Tiger's roar was like thunder, making Xiao Shuai's eardrums throb even through the phone.

"Didn't I make it clear to you earlier? I want him to come see me immediately! Right now!"

"But, he..."

Xiao Shuai's lips moved, but not a single word came out; he just trembled all over, as if even breathing became difficult.

"What? That imposter doesn't want to come?"

Du Tiger's interrogation was like a clap of thunder, making Xiao Shuai's heart tighten, as if gripped by an invisible hand, all the blood in his body seemingly congealing at that moment.

Feeling the other party's anger, Xiao Shuai's tongue tied in knots, and he painstakingly squeezed out the words: "N-no, it's not that, he, he said, after he finishes what he's doing, he, he'll come over immediately..."

"Done? Didn't you make it clear to him that my command, as a C-Rank Expert, is for him to come over?"

Du Tiger's voice suddenly rose, like dark clouds before a storm, oppressive and full of menace.
