I Can Enhance My Talents Using Unlimited Skill Points

Chapter 135: Reputation (I)

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The roar of the engine broke the silence of the city.

Chen Yiming led the convoy to the north of Linghuai City.

Chen Yiming and Fang Hongkun stood on a small hill by the roadside and waited for the transport team to return with the metal canisters filled with fuel.

A gust of wind blew past.

“Why is there a strong smell of blood? What exactly happened in Linghuai City?” Fang Hongkun looked toward the city and asked solemnly.

Chen Yiming didn’t think much of it and said calmly, “Linghuai City has been occupied by four factions from the wilderness. They intended to empty the entire city of their remaining resources. I had a conflict with them just now.”

“Are they the Hong clan, the World Destruction Sect, the Blood Sea Fort, and the Brotherhood Alliance?” Fang Hongkun’s expression changed as he asked.

“What about it?” Chen Yiming asked in surprise.

“In the Yangtze River Delta, these four factions have the worst reputation. They dare to do almost anything and have even cooperated with the mutant beasts to attack the cities,” Fang Hongkun explained.

“It’s said that the Hong clan is only led by an ordinary warrior. How can they be so capable?” Chen Yiming frowned in confusion.

There were 20 to 30 martial artists in East Lake City.

Chen Yiming found it hard to imagine that a faction with only an ordinary warrior would dare to do something that would shake the entire country.

“Where did you get this misinformation? The four hall masters of the Hong clan are at the warrior realm, and the current head is at the second stage of the warrior realm.

Other than that, it’s said that the previous clan head is currently in seclusion trying to break through to the third stage of the warrior realm,” Fang Hongkun said seriously.

“I heard it from the captain of the Hong clan’s transport team,” Chen Yiming said awkwardly.

Liao Yong, who was in the disciple realm, only knew a general term for the warrior realm.

He did not dare to ask about the specific levels of the warrior realm, nor did he have the means to do so.

“In short, you have just broken through to the warrior realm. It’s best if you keep a low profile.” Fang Hongkun rolled his eyes and warned him.

Chen Yiming nodded.

He knew that Fang Hongkun was also thinking about his safety, afraid that he may have provoked a powerful faction like the Hong clan.

After all, on the surface, at his level, Chen Yiming would never be able to go against the Hong clan.

If he attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Hong clan, it would be almost impossible to guard against them.

The convoy quickly filled up the fuel, and many people cheered.

Chen Yiming and the others didn’t stay for long. They got into the vehicles and continued on their way to Luoxi City.

…

At this moment, a few kilometers away from the convoy Chen Yiming was in, Zhou Li led more than 30 team members to a small wooden house in the forest.

He was one of the captains of the Pengzhou Special Operations Unit, and was in charge of besieging the ordinary members of the Hong clan, the World Destruction Sect, the Blood Sea Fort, and the Brotherhood Alliance.

Zhou Li knocked lightly on the wooden door and entered the wooden house.

The facilities in the wooden house were simple. There was a table and a chair, and it served as a temporary resting place.

A middle-aged man in loose-fitting clothes picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of hot tea. Then, he brought it to his mouth and downed it in one gulp.

His casual clothes were slightly damaged, and his hair was a little messy. One side of his hair was clearly shorter than the other.

“Minister Zhu, all the assets transported from Linghuai City by the four factions have been collected,” Zhou Li reported.

“Not bad,” Zhu Xiaozhang nodded.

“The remaining survivors from the four factions have also been transported to Pengzhou City, but the number of people is very different from what we expected,” Zhou Li continued.

The plan for this siege operation in Pengzhou City was to capture the ordinary members of the four factions and send them to the front line.

However, by the time the special operations team started their siege, most of them had already been caught and killed by Chen Yiming.

“Got it,” Zhu Xiaozhang replied.

“A large number of members…” Zhou Li was about to explain.

“Someone else took this matter in their own hands,” Zhu Xiaozhang interrupted.

Zhou Li nodded, knowing that this matter had exceeded the scope of what he could ask about.

Then, he continued, “The convoy from East Lake City has taken away a large amount of fuel from Linghuai City. They are heading west. Should we take action against them?”

With hundreds of large trucks moving together, their speed was not fast.

As long as they were not outside of the territory of Pengzhou City, they could stop the convoy at any time.

“They attracted the attention of many of the four factions for our siege operation. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. Take the fuel as their compensation,” Zhu Xiaozhang replied.

“Yes.” Zhou Li nodded.

After giving the report, Zhou Li left the wooden house.

Soon, he left with his team.

After Zhu Xiaozhang received Zhou Li’s report, he took out his phone and called a secret department in Pengzhou City.

Pengzhou City had beat them at their own game. They pretended that they did not have enough manpower to deal with the aftermath of the beast tide and set up a trap to annihilate the Hong clan, the World Destruction Sect, the Blood Sea Fort, and the Brotherhood Alliance.

Each of the four factions had sent out a warrior to participate in the looting of Linghuai City’s resources. None of the four warriors had managed to escape, and all of them were killed by the experts from Pengzhou City’s military.

Therefore, even though Chen Yiming had caused such a huge commotion, not a single warrior had made a move to stop him.

All in all, the team from East Lake City had been used by Pengzhou City to cover their movements. However, Chen Yiming’s act of killing had reduced Pengzhou City’s manpower by a few thousand people.

While both sides got what they needed, they also made the other party suffer a loss.

…

After the convoy left Linghuai City, they did not encounter any mutant beasts wandering around Pengzhou City, nor did they encounter any other incidents.

It took them another two days to reach Luoxi City.

Luoxi City was a famous granary in the Daxia Kingdom.

All this time, they had been providing support to other places in the Daxia Kingdom that were suffering from disasters and were lacking in food supplies. As a result, their status was extremely important, and their population was also increasing day after day.

The team from East Lake City had come from another province. Even though they had made prior arrangements, they still had to go through complicated procedures to enter the city.

Chen Yiming escorted the convoy to the city gate. He politely rejected the escort that Fang Hongkun had arranged for him and entered the city alone.

Without a clear direction, he walked straight down the street.

The area around him was filled with ordinary people coming and going. Compared to the traffic in East Lake City, it was like the difference between a city and a town.

In the shops by the roadside, customers were entering and exiting continuously. None of the shops seemed to be lacking in business. Their spending power was not something East Lake City could compare to.

In addition, the music playing on the streets made Chen Yiming feel like he had returned to the peaceful era of his previous world.

Chen Yiming asked around and arrived at a high-end restaurant.

The restaurant was located on the top floor of a circular commercial building, more than 200 meters above the ground. Half of Luoxi City could be seen from this place.

After ordering his meal, he leaned back on the soft sofa and looked out at the entire Luoxi City.

He swept his gaze across the city and roughly estimated the size of Luoxi City. He realized that East Lake City was not even a tenth of the size of Luoxi City.

“Should I move to the provincial capital with Mom, Dad, and Chen Yingying?”

A thought suddenly appeared in Chen Yiming’s mind.

Other than the high cost of living and housing, the safety of a large city could not be compared to a small city like East Lake City. Furthermore, money was no different from waste paper to a warrior.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible.

In terms of cultivation, he mainly relied on accumulating Skill Points over time and adding points to his talent level. It was the same no matter where he was.

Finding the subsequent cultivation methods for the warrior realm might be easier in the provincial capital compared to in East Lake City.

Chen Yiming gradually fell into a daze until the sound of conversation behind him interrupted his thoughts.

There were two men and a woman sitting at another table opposite him.

The two men were muscular and much taller than ordinary people. The woman had fine features and was wearing a knee-length dress with a long sword tied to her waist.
