The hierarchy within the War God Palace was clear and simple, divided into three levels: ordinary members, council members, and the Speaker!
Generally speaking, only those who surpassed a God of War could become a council member, which was also the Realm that Liu Yun's mortal enemy, Li Yao, eventually reached.
As a low-level God of War, Liu Yun naturally could only be an ordinary member. After leaving Grinda, he quickly found the people from the Dojo of Limits.
"Liu Yun!"
"Liu Yun!"
Several calls rang out in succession, and several figures walked over from the corner seats in the distance. Liu Yun looked on in surprise… he actually knew all these people! They were all teachers from the Dojo of Limits! Although they weren't Liu Yun's former teammates, he knew the others, and these people had more or less taught him a few moves.
"Teacher Yang, Teacher Victor…" Liu Yun called out, walking and smiling, looking completely at ease! Now, he had become one of those unapproachable figures he once looked up to.
"Don't call us teachers anymore, your strength is so great now, just call us by our names." Yang Hui said with a smile, and the other Gods of War from the Dojo of Limits also nodded in agreement.
Since Liu Yun was not yet a core member of the HR Alliance, this meant that Liu Yun could freely withdraw, so these people treated him with extra cordiality. Liu Yun, thinking that he shouldn't put all his eggs in one basket, naturally chatted with them for a while longer.
"Liu Yun, we were indeed negligent when your Martial Skill was crippled! What would you like to eat? This is your first time here today, and I'll treat you as an apology."
Yang Hui smiled as he took the menu from a nearby waiter and handed it to Liu Yun. This matter had almost become a huge mistake that the Dojo of Limits reflected on daily. Liu Yun's spine was injured back then, and he was subsequently abandoned, which was indeed disheartening.
"Oh? Don't worry about it, I was also self-deprecating at the time, and Wang Tianba and the others treated me with sincerity!"
Liu Yun responded, saying that when dealing with his countrymen, sincerity was key. What they did wasn't too absurd, and his own mindset had collapsed first.
Opening the menu, he found that every drink and dish was described in both Chinese and English, and the prices were even more expensive than real drinks.
"A glass of wine, nearly a hundred thousand?" "Yes, it's really expensive, but there's no other way." The God of War next to him sighed, "Although it's food and fine wine in a virtual space, it's 100% simulated, and the realism is the same as eating and drinking in reality. If you're not looking to fill your stomach, but just to taste delicious food, then it's worth it."
This was more about experiencing novelty; it was remarkable that virtual space items could achieve this level.
Liu Yun looked at it, feeling annoyed. From the perspective of his Mechanical Race Clone, this virtual space was extremely rudimentary. If he were to create a War Immortal Space with better service, wouldn't he be raking in money daily?
Of course, he couldn't do that; if he did, he would be exposed, and Li Yao and his wife would not let him off.
After a few casual chats, he planned to get down to business. Was the primary goal the Water of Life?
"Is there an auction house here? Is there an auction going on?"
He asked Victor, who nodded, indicating that Liu Yun was surprisingly knowledgeable about this place.
"There are auctions every month, but what do you want to buy? The few of us can treat you again!"
These Gods of War had actually received a mission and were waiting here not by chance; they had funds to win over Liu Yun and wouldn't spend a single cent of their own.
"This… isn't that good?"
Liu Yun also fell silent, but after thinking about it, he decided it would be better to give them a chance to do him a favor. That way, he would owe them something!
Deepening their relationship later would be natural; as long as he could repay the favor at any time, then owing a favor was actually a good thing.
Upon hearing this, these people immediately clamored to go to the auction house together and bought the Water of Life for Liu Yun. Liu Yun received a small azure bottle, which contained the Water of Life.
He smiled, expressed his gratitude for their kindness, and then left the War God Palace, returning directly to his villa.
"That kid Luo Feng, he owes me one way or another!"
Liu Yun laughed wildly in his heart; human connections are such that if you don't seek them, they will seek you.
It had been a long time since he last saw Luo Feng, and when he saw him again, he was actually in the mall, shopping with Xu Xin.
The HR Alliance's mall, located in the core area of the War God Palace, was a colossal building that integrated technology, luxury, and a sense of the future. The interior of the mall was vast, with soft and bright lighting. The ceiling was embedded with intelligently adjusted LED screens, simulating ever-changing starry sky scenes, making people feel as if they were in the vast Universe.
The mall's interior was clearly divided, from high-tech product zones to rare Materials trading areas, and then to trendy fashion districts; everything was available. Each area was designed to be both independent and interconnected, forming a prosperous commercial tapestry. Walking through it, one could not only feel the strong commercial atmosphere but also experience the charm of cutting-edge technology and the infinite possibilities of future life.
Xu Xin was shopping with Luo Feng, and if there were no accidents, she would eventually be with Luo Feng.
"Long time no see! Luo Feng, don't forget your buddy, look what I brought you!"
Liu Yun suddenly appeared, startling Xu Xin, who immediately hid behind Luo Feng, smiling like an orchid.
"Big Brother Liu Yun, you…"
When Luo Feng took the bottle of azure Water of Life from Liu Yun's hand, a trace of undisguised excitement and gratitude flashed in his eyes.
His younger brother, Luo Hua, had been paralyzed, and he knew the price of the Water of Life, waiting to buy this item later to help his brother recover.
However, that waiting period was too difficult, every second was an ordeal. Now that Liu Yun had directly delivered the item, he thought that his brother could live more confidently and completely did not know how to refuse.
Luo Feng tightly clutched the bottle of Water of Life, as if he were holding the hope of his brother Luo Hua's Rebirth. His eyes were slightly red, gratitude overflowing, and his voice choked with emotion: "Liu Yun, this… this is too precious! I don't know how to express my gratitude."
Seeing this, Liu Yun smiled slightly and patted Luo Feng's shoulder; that composure and magnanimity made a warm current surge through Luo Feng's heart.
"Between brothers, why the need for thanks? Seeing Luo Hua have the Opportunity to regain his health makes me happier than anyone. Just take it and use it; don't let this Opportunity go to waste."
Xu Xin stood by, gently watching the scene, her heart also filled with emotion. She knew that for Luo Feng, Luo Hua's health was his greatest concern. Now, that concern was about to be resolved, and she was genuinely happy for Luo Feng.
"Liu Yun, our Luo Family will always remember your kindness." Luo Feng said excitedly, but Liu Yun glanced at Xu Xin, smiled, and shook his head.
"That's too formal! I've known you for a long time, helping you is nothing to me!"
Since ancient times, true feelings go unnoticed, while schemes win hearts. Liu Yun appeared noble and upright, naturally leaving no room for criticism.
Afterward, he departed, not knowing how the Xu Family intended to arrange Xu Xin, but he didn't care about such matters. Surely, they wouldn't arrange Xu Xin to be his teammate, would they?
He tidied up again, then accepted several missions, preparing to collect Materials along the way and upgrade the base as quickly as possible. The grass and wood spirit was still in the base, emitting green light, and Liu Yun was not in a hurry to use it for the time being.
He couldn't continue to improve his strength; his Martial Skill Cultivation couldn't keep up. Forcibly mastering power without reaching that Realm might truly lead to Qi Deviation.
"Shadow Crystal Core, Heart of Flame, Tyrannosaurus Dragon Tooth… This is really troublesome!"
Liu Yun, fully armed with a crystal hanging from his chest, stood on the boarding ladder of the fighter jet, gazing at the vast, boundless wilderness ahead. The setting sun, like blood, dyed the land a magnificent tapestry of gold and dark purple. The fighter jet's sleek design shimmered with the cold light of high technology, like a beast about to hunt.
He didn't know when he would return from this trip. This was less of a hunt and more of a trial, because he had always relied on computer cheats to achieve movements and Martial Skills that matched his strength.
Currently, his true Martial Arts Realm was only at the level of a low-level War General. His strength had grown too quickly from taking medicine, which instead inhibited his Martial power growth! This time, he directly had the computer suppress the power in his body, intending to start from the low-level War General stage and meticulously hone his Martial Skills against monsters.
So this time, it was still very dangerous. Even if he got injured, as long as he didn't die, Liu Yun still didn't plan to lift the Seal. After all, he couldn't always rely on computer assistance for combat, and he also had to undergo arduous Cultivation to forge an indomitable Martial Artist's heart.
