Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

150 First Time I’ve Heard of Such a Shameless Request

The moment Lu Yu stepped outside, he immediately overheard that the Inspector from the capital had been beaten up by the Captain of the 4th Battalion. He was speechless. Were the guys in the Gamma Military Zone so pugnacious that they even had the guts to wallop officers from the capital?

After that, Lu Yu felt that something was not right. He rubbed his jaw thoughtfully.

Didn’t Xu Qingguo just appoint him to be the Captain of the 4th Battalion? Since when was there a Captain in the 4th Battalion?

“The 4th Battalion’s Captain perished during one of their missions, unfortunately. This guy Niu Xianzu has been acting Captain all this while.” Song Yu explained by his side. “However, you have now parachuted out of the blue into the 4th Battalion as the new Captain. I’m afraid with Niu Xianzu’s temperament, he will be the first to feel resentful.”

!!

With a puzzled expression, Lu Yu asked, “What is it about Niu Xianzu’s temperament?”

Song Yu pursed her lips and said with a faint smile, “You will know when the time comes.”

Lu Yu did not continue with his inquiry, but instead, he asked whether there was Fearsome Beast meat within the Gamma Military Zone. Song Yu said that the Gamma Military Zone’s cultivators venture outside every day to slay quite a number of Fearsome Beasts. They would bring the corpses of the Fearsome Beasts back as battle trophies.

There should be quite a number of Fearsome Beast corpses in the storage warehouse.

The meat of Fearsome Beasts was hard to process, and the cooked meat was hard to digest and absorb. However, all those sinews and bones were excellent material for forging weapons.

Immediately, Lu Yu’s eyes lit up. He had not eaten the meat of Fearsome Beasts for so long, and the dishes provided by Xu Qingguo were too little. Now, he could finally eat to his heart’s content.

“Come! Bring me to the warehouse!” Lu Yu said with a hearty laugh.

At the Gamma Military Zone’s warehouse, there were personnel going in and out, taking stock of all kinds of battle trophies, weapons, and techniques. That place was a hive of activity. The moment Lu Yu arrived at the main hall, he could hear a big commotion.

Song Yu asked in curiosity, “Hey, Brother! What happened?”

A big, brawny guy turned around. On seeing Song Yu, he gave a foolish laugh. This was the famous military belle of the Gamma Military Zone, and this military belle was talking to him! The brawny guy answered hurriedly, “It’s the Inspector from the capital. Don’t know what’s wrong with his brain. He insisted on inspecting this place…”

And this warehouse was a critical infrastructure in the Gamma Military Zone. Only military personnel with the rank of Major General and above could enter this place, much less these two outsiders.

A thought struck Lu Yu suddenly and he asked, “What are the identities of these two Inspectors?”

If the Inspectors came to the Gamma Military Zone at this time, evidently it must have something to do with Lu Yu.

The brawny guy glanced at Lu Yu. Seeing that Lu Yu was so clean-cut and resembled a 17 or 18-year-old youngster, he thought that Lu Yu was a new recruit. With a scornful twitch of his lips, he said, “Who do you think you are?”

Song Yu chided him in a shrill voice, “Don’t dilly-dally. Tell us quickly.”

Instantly, the brawny guy got a shock. Miss Song, the military belle, was siding with Lu Yu, and she was standing well behind Lu Yu in a very respectful manner.

These details made the brawny guy very astonished. As was well-known, Song Yu was not only the military belle, she was also the daughter of the reputable Song family. Even the Major Generals in the military zone were very polite to her. Who on earth was this young man, to make Miss Song hold him in such great respect?

“Ah, see that guy with glasses? One can tell with just one look that he is some despicable educated swine. Nothing much to say about him, except that he’s a character without any respectable background. But that scar-faced man is a totally different story.”

“I heard that he hails from one of the four great families. He’s a clan relative of the Ying family, called Ying Qufeng or something.”

As the brawny guy spoke in a low voice, a malicious glint flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes. He then laughed softly and said, “Did you hear this gossip from some obscure source somewhere?”

The brawny guy glared at him. With bloodshot eyes, he argued back, “Brat, I have eaten more rice than you have eaten salt. Are you questioning my source of information? I’m telling you, there are many influential families in Flame Country who have sent their gifted youngsters to this military zone for training.”

“I got this piece of information from the very mouths of those families’ gifted geniuses!”

It was true. Although the various powerful families had many resources for cultivation, they lacked the environment that military zones had to train up a person. By sending their gifted talents to the military zones to train, those talents would develop faster.

Since it was someone from the Ying family, then he would not show any mercy!

Lu Yu patted the brawny guy’s shoulder and asked, “Brother, which team are you from?”

The brawny guy was stunned momentarily, then subconsciously replied, “First Military Unit, 4th Battalion, Li Tieniu!”

At this moment, Ying Qufeng blew his top completely. He pointed at the warehouse’s person-in-charge and rebuked him viciously, “Fuck you! What’s this fucking place? Can enter here, cannot enter there. Are you all tired of living?”

The eyes of the person-in-charge turned menacing. “Mr. Inspector, please be more respectful. You guys are administrative staff, we are military personnel. If you have no affiliation with us, you have no right to say such things!”

“Fuck! I want to say such things! What are you going to do about it?”

Ying Qufeng cursed and swore at him with his hands on his waist, acting like a perfect shameless scoundrel.

He had waited for so long, yet there was still no news of Xu Qingguo finishing his lunch. This made him realize that Xu Qingguo was deliberately hanging him out to dry.

There was no point in waiting like a fool. Ying Qufeng brought Zhou Zhongzheng along and began checking out the Gamma Military Zone’s compound. He had suffered defeat when he confronted Niu Xianzu just now. This time, he wanted to flaunt his authority properly. Surely the whole Gamma Military Zone couldn’t be full of people like Niu Xianzu who had no sense of priorities?

To his surprise, the moment he arrived at the warehouse, he got bullied again.

The more Ying Qufeng spoke, the angrier he became. He shook off Zhou Zhongzheng’s restraining arm in one movement, and spoke in a sinister tone, “So even I, an Inspector representing the capital’s top-level, have no authority to move around the Gamma Military Zone freely. I think this is no longer the Gamma Military Zone, but a country within a country! I shall go back now and impeach you guys severely!”

“What the fuck are you talking about? Without us, do you think you guys who like to put on airs can still sit in the office and drink tea?”

“Apologize now, at once! Otherwise I will fucking slice you in half!”

The military zone’s personnel in the main hall could no longer contain their anger. Some had already drawn their swords. They risked their lives to serve Flame Country and protect the peace for humankind, yet they were not only looked down upon by these administrative paper-pushers, but they were also insulted in the end.

Although not everyone had the interests of the country at heart, most were passionate and earnest, with lofty ambitions to give up their lives for their country. That was why they had resolutely joined the military zones.

“You filthy bastards, I’ve had enough of you. I refuse to apologize. If you have the guts, come at me!” Ying Qufeng taunted them with a gloating smirk.

Behind him, Zhou Zhongzheng took one step back subconsciously. If he stayed too close to this sort of people who liked to court disaster, he might end up getting implicated if he wasn’t careful.

Within the furious crowd, a young man with the appearance of a 17 to 18-year-old youngster stepped out and walked leisurely toward Ying Qufeng. Ying Qufeng was taken by surprise, and asked, “What do you want?”

Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, “This is the first time I’ve heard of such a shameless request.”

With that, he unleashed a great palm strike toward the other party. In that instant, Ying Qufeng sensed the danger, As his true energy surged, the aura of Great Martial Master erupted and a palm strike blasted toward Lu Yu.
