Lin Feng had already come up with a plan to improve the Armored RV’s offensive capabilities.

Besides compensating for its lack of firepower while moving, another important reason was to give the RV other ways to acquire Upgrade Points.

Relying on ramming and crushing enemies was too costly and dangerous.

The sight of its menacing, powerful front end smashing into Black Spine Zergs was breathtaking, but it was just an emergency measure. Ramming enemies a few times would cause its durability to plummet, and it could easily be totaled.

Wasting the hard-earned Giant Mandible Material for a few Upgrade Points wasn’t worth it; the loss would outweigh the gain.

And if he relied on mileage from driving through battlefields, he could only skirmish frantically along the edges during a war. Things would get difficult during a ceasefire.

For instance, this time Lin Feng had traveled to the edge of the Zerg Race’s territory to capture live Spine Zergs.

He had made a strenuous eighty-kilometer round trip, only to gain a single Upgrade Point, and that was from absorbing it during a small-scale battle nearby.

If he hadn’t attracted that many Black Spine Zergs—if there were only four or five—the Armored RV wouldn’t have gotten a single thing.

Therefore, Lin Feng needed a more efficient and convenient way to upgrade by adding offensive capabilities to its auxiliary equipment.

Besides, if he didn’t arm it quickly, its upgrade progress would fall behind, making it even harder to cope with the high-intensity battles on the front lines in ten days.

Now, Chen Yanyan’s Superpower was a godsend, offering a solution. The weight on Lin Feng’s heart could finally be lifted, at least a little.

The Armored RV drove along the empty highway as the two practiced for two hours. During that time, they ran many other experiments, discovering for example that the maximum control distance of her Superpower was only fifty meters.

Beyond fifty meters, Chen Yanyan couldn’t maintain stable and effective control. Past one hundred meters, even her Sensing would disappear.

Currently, she could only maintain this Remote Control for two hours. After that, she would feel drained, her Energy depleted and her Spirit weakened.

It was already past five in the evening on the way back. Lin Feng drove while comforting a somewhat listless Chen Yanyan in the passenger seat.

"It’s okay. You’ve just upgraded; you’re only at the Tier One Early Stage. As you continue to kill Zergs and get stronger, your Superpower will become more and more powerful."

"And if you control the steering wheel with one hand, coordinating it with your Superpower, you can maintain control for much longer."

"Go back and get some good rest. You did great today. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the tollbooth for some practical combat training."

Reassured by Lin Feng’s encouragement, Chen Yanyan rubbed her numb face, and a smile returned to her weary expression.

"Okay, but you have to let me get a good night’s sleep tonight."

"I’m sorry, I really can’t take it anymore."

"Let’s save what we were going to do this afternoon for tomorrow..."

With that, Chen Yanyan let out a long yawn, leaned against Lin Feng’s arm, and fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Feng turned his head and kissed her on the forehead. They drove the rest of the way to the service area in silence.

After backing the RV into the repair shop, Lin Feng picked up the sleeping woman beside him, gently placed her on the bed in the bedroom, took off her coat and shoes, and covered her with a blanket.

Once he was done, he looked at the sleeping Chen Yanyan, placed a light kiss on her pink lips, and then got up to leave.

Not wanting to disturb Chen Yanyan’s rest, Lin Feng decided to grab a simple dinner at the nearby store and rest area.

Unexpectedly, he happened to run into Qin Hu and his men, who were just walking out of the shopping center.

The moment they saw Lin Feng approaching, they immediately called out to him.

"I was just about to contact you."

"Come on. There’s a celebration banquet in Wu City tonight. If you, the real hero of the hour, don’t go, how could I feel right about it?"

Lin Feng grunted, noticing that the original cafeteria in the shopping center had been cleared out, and all the snacks and instant noodles were gone too.

’If I go back to the RV now, all I can eat are MREs. I might as well go with Qin Hu, get a good meal, and use the banquet as a chance to make some connections.’

After a moment of thought, before Lin Feng could agree, Qin Hu asked directly:

"Where’s your companion? The teammate who escaped with you. Bring her along."

Lin Feng shook his head.

"She just completed her Awakening today and is exhausted from overusing her Superpower. She’s already turned in for the night."

Qin Hu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"It’s better to bring a female companion you know. It can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble, especially since you’re now a famous and powerful Awakener, a future star of the Federation..."

Thanks to the publicity, even though Qin Hu was officially the great hero of the successful defense, many people already knew that there was a Superpower Bullet Awakener in the Administration Bureau.

And his strength was not to be underestimated.

Seeing Lin Feng’s confusion, Qin Hu continued to explain:

"Tomorrow’s a day off, so everyone’s planning to let loose tonight. Of course, if you don’t mind, you could also take the opportunity to relax for a night."

As he spoke, Qin Hu gave him a look all men would understand.

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. He had a pretty good idea of what was being implied.

He wasn’t some young man overflowing with hormones looking for an outlet. He was attending the banquet more for the networking opportunities.

So, Lin Feng glanced at the lit-up hotel nearby—the former Administration Bureau office—and nodded in reply.

"Alright. Wait for me. I need to find someone and change into a suit."

Qin Hu showed a slight smile and added,

"No problem. I’ll be right here. We can leave together then."

Lin Feng nodded, walked briskly into the hotel, and found Han Yuxin on the phone. After he explained his purpose, she readily agreed.

"What perfect timing! The VIP area of this banquet will be full of upper-class people from all over the Federation. Many of them are potential clients for our business. I was just trying to figure out how to get in..."

"Come on, this is one of the few good opportunities we’ll get!"

Then, Han Yuxin stood up, walked over, and looped her arm through Lin Feng’s, pressing his thick bicep against the side of her chest in a very intimate gesture.

"I’ve already prepared a suit. Come and try it on!"

After speaking, she pulled Lin Feng into the back bedroom and, right in front of him, stripped off her outer knit shawl and simple white dress, leaving her in a set of white lace lingerie that left her voluptuous figure on full display.

Immediately after, she changed into an elegant, bright yellow formal gown that perfectly showcased her curvy figure.

Lin Feng stood frozen to the side, clearly not expecting her to be so uninhibited.

’She doesn’t treat me like a stranger at all.’

The corners of Han Yuxin’s mouth curved up slightly. After changing, she smoothed out her skirt, picked up a sky-blue men’s suit, and walked over to Lin Feng.

"First time wearing one? Let me help you change. I don’t know your size. This is a spare that Hu Fei bought before. It might be a little tight."

Lin Feng, a bit flustered, took off his t-shirt and shorts and let the woman handle him. After a great deal of effort, he finally managed to squeeze into the slightly small inner shirt. Fortunately, the suit jacket was larger, so he didn’t look too constricted.

All the while, Han Yuxin’s limbs kept brushing against Lin Feng’s body, intentionally or not.

Savoring the soft, fragrant feel of the beautiful woman’s body, Lin Feng pulled her into his arms after he finished changing. He lowered his head, inhaling the elegant scent from her slender, snow-white neck, and spoke coolly.

"Is seducing me also part of the job?"

Han Yuxin’s eyes grew hazy. A captivating smile played on her lips as her intoxicating words seemed to seep into his very bones.

"Anything you like, Mr. Lin. It’s also part of my duty."

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed, and his expression grew cold.

"Just do your job. This time, I just need you to help me fend off some unnecessary trouble."

"Your two faces are making me a little uncomfortable. It would be better if you went back to normal."

Seeing the man’s deliberately serious expression, Han Yuxin let out a soft laugh. She turned and pressed herself against his chest, reaching up to trace his sharp jawline with the back of her hand as she whispered.

"Back to normal? Then which ’normal’ do you prefer?"

"A high-quality man like you—handsome, young, and extremely powerful—what woman wouldn’t be interested?"

"So, this is also part of the job. If we don’t act intimately, those other women will think they still have a chance."

"You don’t want to attract unnecessary complications, do you?"

Lin Feng coughed lightly, feeling like he was being toyed with, and quickly changed the subject.

"You had a formal dress prepared and everything. Was attending this celebration banquet also your reason for returning to Wu City?"

Han Yuxin nodded, admitting it freely.

"Anyone can get into the main hall of the banquet, but you need a recommendation to get into the VIP area. I was just worrying about that, but I didn’t expect that you, Mr. Lin, already had an in."

Lin Feng shrugged and took half a step back.

"Wait outside. I’m going to say goodbye to Yanyan."

With that, he left the back room of the hotel, jogged back to the Armored RV, and took out the Machine Cannon from his waist. It had now finished its Upgrade.

Machine Cannon Lv. 15/19, Red Quality

Upgrade Points: 13/7, Damage: 110, Effective Range: 4 km, Remaining Bullets: 2500/2500

Extra Attributes: Bullet Recovery 1/s, Spatial Magazine 2500 reserve ammo, Eye of the Death God 0/20

The performance and power hadn’t increased much, but the number of targets the Eye of the Death God could lock onto for headshots had doubled.

He locked the Lv. 15 Machine Cannon in the cabinet under the bed, then took the Red Armor Shield he’d removed earlier and tucked it tightly against his back under his suit, in its Back Armor form.

Weapons were definitely not allowed at this banquet, but as long as he had his Shield Armor, he would be safe.

Looking at the sleeping Chen Yanyan, Lin Feng tore off a piece of paper, wrote a note explaining where he was going, and placed it on the bedside table.

Then he turned, left, and locked the Armored RV.

He walked over to Han Yuxin, who had been waiting for a long time. With her arm linked through his and her body pressed close, he got into Qin Hu’s military jeep.

The jeep drove away from the service area and into the center of Wu City.

At that moment, Wu City was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
