Chapter 123 Long-Term Research

Chu Nan exited Martial Soul with a black face.

The staff of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce came up and saw the expression on his face. He could not help but ask curiously, “What? Is there a problem?”

Chu Nan shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

In the last battle just now, he had encountered a powerful opponent who was not weaker than Maruk.

After confirming that the Fourth Revolution Internal Breath could not do anything to this opponent no matter how high the frequency of the Internal Breath shook, Chu Nan did not hesitate to try it.

He had originally thought that since he could finally use the Fifth Revolution Internal Breath in the battle with Maruk, the strength and toughness of his meridians had greatly increased. His control of his Internal Breath had also become much more exquisite. Even if it was still difficult to use the Fifth Revolution Internal Breath, and it might even cause excessive impact to his meridians and cause damage, it would not be a problem.

However, he did not expect that as soon as his Internal Breath began to circulate five times, he would be kicked out of the combat room by the system and announced that he had lost this battle.

Flipping open the reason for his failure, he discovered that it was because he had been judged by the system to have exceeded the burden of his body and was in a state of being unable to fight that he had been kicked out by the system.

In summary, it was actually similar to those opponents who had lost their combat strength after being kicked in the vital points by him and transformed into white light to disappear.

However, those opponents had all lost their combat strength because of him. Now, he had lost his combat strength because of his own action, and it was completely different from before.

“Is this considered reaping what I sowed?” When he recalled the situation earlier, Chu Nan could not help but smile bitterly.

In fact, these two scenarios are naturally different.

Although the Fifth Revolution Internal Breath still caused serious damage to his meridians, in reality, with the toughness of Chu Nan’s current meridians, it would not be like in the competition with Maruk. Back then, it could only support him to complete the Fifth Revolution Internal Breath circulation for a cycle. After punching, he would be completely finished and could not move for a period of

time.

However, to the monitoring system of Martial Soul, there was a human test upper limit.

Once he exceeded this limit, he would be directly judged by the system to be unable to continue fighting.

From the looks of it, even with the technology of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, they could not clearly distinguish these two different situations.

Of course, it was also possible that this was deliberately set up by Martial Soul to prevent some martial artists from relying on the fact that Martial Soul was a virtual reality game to mess around and ultimately cause a huge problem in reality.

Chu Nan originally wanted to take this opportunity to properly test his Fifth Revolution Internal Breath, but he could only give up now.

He lowered his head and opened his personal terminal to look at the time. He discovered that it was already 5 PM in the local time. Chu Nan raised his head and said to the staff beside him, “I should go. Where’s Director Yu Tingfeng?”

The staff immediately bade farewell and left.

Soon, Yu Tingfeng appeared in front of Chu Nan with a smile.

“Student Chu Nan, thank you very much for coming to assist in the investigation of our Chamber of Commerce. I’m sorry to have troubled you for the entire afternoon.”

Chu Nan shrugged, “I actually didn’t do anything. I was only lying there and playing games.”

Yu Tingfeng laughed and took two things from a subordinate beside him and handed them to Chu Nan.

“In order to thank you for your help to our Chamber of Commerce today, this is a small token I specially prepared. Please accept it.”

Chu Nan was a little strange.

Previously, when Yu Tingfeng discussed with him, the reward was clearly 20,000 federation coins. Why had it been changed to some physical items now?

Moreover, this ancient material that was like a name card did not seem to be useful…

“This is the one-star VIP card of our Chamber of Commerce. Whoever holds this VIP card will enjoy the treatment and corresponding benefits of being a one-star VIP and spending in any industry under our Noctem Chamber of Commerce in the future.” Yu Tingfeng first opened the card in his left hand in front of Chu Nan, “I think you’ll be satisfied with this

gift.”

Chu Nan nodded and received it without holding back.

This was indeed a good thing.

The Noctem Chamber of Commerce not only controlled the entire Sagittarius Arm, but their businesses were also everywhere.

In the Earth Federation, other than the various Earth Federation enterprises that cooperated with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, there were also countless businesses under them.

Just on West Cloud Planet, there were many.

From small items like toothpaste and shower gel to large vehicles like cosmic battleships, there was no industry that the Noctem Chamber of Commerce did not interfere in.

If he had this VIP card, it meant that Chu Nan could enjoy many conveniences and benefits in the future and have a large sum of money left.

However, what puzzled Chu Nan was that even if it was a VIP card, he only needed to verify his identity. Why did he have to give such an ancient card?

“This is my personal interest.” Yu Tingfeng smiled and explained before handing the thing in his other hand over.

This was a very old-looking book.

“This is some information that I’ve specially sent people to collect in the past few months. A portion of it can be directly sent to your personal terminal, but this original copy of the ancient book can only be handed to you personally.”

Chu Nan carefully took the book that looked like it could be torn at any time and did not dare to open it casually.

“What’s this?”

some

“These information are all the insights of some martial artists when they broke through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate. I think it might be useful to you. As for this book, it’s left behind by a martial artist who said that he only became an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist after he became an adult but successfully broke through to the initial-stage Void Break Realm at the age of 60. Because his records are very chaotic, I think there will be some flaws if you replicate it. The original notes he wrote can allow you to better understand the things he left behind.”

Hearing Yu Tingfeng’s explanation, Chu Nan widened his eyes in surprise.

Just 20,000 federation coins were enough for him to make this trip.

Yu Tingfeng had actually prepared such a suitable gift for him now. It simply surprised him.

Chu Nan reached out to take it, but he suddenly stopped and looked at Yu Tingfeng in confusion.

“Director Yu Tingfeng, you must have other requests, right?” Yu Tingfeng laughed, “As expected, I can’t hide it from Little Brother Chu. That’s right, your ability to assist in the investigation today has indeed helped us resolve many problems. However, other than that, I’m afraid there are also some problems that I need your help with. If possible, I hope you can come once in a while. What do you think?”

Chu Nan frowned, “What other problem is there? In the end, what problem do you need my help to resolve? If there’s only a mistake in the relevant data on me, it shouldn’t cause you to make such a big fuss, right?”

“Little Brother Chu is indeed smart. That’s right, it’s indeed not only these problems. In fact… in today’s assisting investigation, I unintentionally discovered that you might be very helpful to a study of our Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, I hope you can participate in it for a long time.”

Chu Nan was even more puzzled.

“Me? Participate in the research? Are you serious?”

“I sure am.” Yu Tingfeng shook his head with a serious expression. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like a joke.

Chu Nan glanced at him and looked at the VIP card and the precious information in his hand before hesitating for a moment.

“However, I’ll be leaving West Cloud Planet soon.”

“Hmm?” Yu Tingfeng was stunned, “When did this happen?”

Chu Nan roughly explained his withdrawal from West Cloud Academy.

After Yu Tingfeng heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment before gesturing for Chu Nan to wait. Then, he went to the side and seemed to have a conversation with someone before turning around.

“Err… Little Brother Chu, I sincerely invite you to help our Chamber of Commerce complete this research. Even if you’re not on West Cloud Planet, you can still find any station of our Chamber of Commerce in the future and participate at any time. Participating in this research has no restriction on your time and freedom in life. You only need to spend an afternoon like today when you’re free. As for the reward… it’s temporarily set to 50,000 federation coins per session. What do you think?”

“50,000 federation coins going once?” Chu Nan was shocked.

The Noctem Chamber of Commerce was indeed rich and imposing. A casual sentence determined the payment of 50,000 federation coins.

“Then are there any other requirements?” Chu Nan asked again.

“Not at the moment. If there is one in the future, we will clearly mention it to you. Both sides can discuss it again.” At this point, Yu Tingfeng smiled slightly, “Please believe in the credibility of our Noctem Chamber of Commerce.”

Chu Nan nodded.

No matter what other people or countries thought of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, they were surprisingly consistent in terms of commercial credit-excellent, without a doubt.

“Alright, I’ll make another request. If you agree, I’ll seriously consider participating in this research.”

Seeing that Chu Nan finally relented, Yu Tingfeng revealed an even more brilliant smile.

“Please speak.”
