Qin Feng followed his plan and the predetermined route to the level 1 spiritual energy gathering spot.
First, he had his Red Alert soldiers scout the area with monitoring equipment to determine if it was inhabited by people or monsters. Meanwhile, he and Ye Shen sat in the off-road vehicle, quietly observing through panoramic helmets from miles away.
The Red Alert soldiers followed his command and arrived at the location, discovering a tent.
Such equipment did not exist on this planet. The tent had been purchased from a shop, meaning the inhabitants were human, not monsters.
The Red Alert soldiers continued forward, and then alarms sounded. Three people emerged from the tent: two men and one woman, each holding different weapons and warily eyeing the Red Alert soldier.
The leading man asked, "Who are you? Why have you come to our encampment? What do you want?"
Through the speaker worn by the Red Alert soldier, Qin Feng addressed the three individuals: "I was merely passing by. I have no other intentions. Furthermore, meeting is fate. Since we have met here, why don't we share some information? What do you say?"
The three exchanged glances. Then, the two men signaled to the woman. The woman, understanding their intent, took out a telescope-like device from her pack and repeatedly scanned the Red Alert soldier. She then smiled and said, "This guy's combat power is only 10. He's trash."
Upon hearing this, the two men burst into laughter and arrogantly declared, "You, a trash with combat power of 10, dare to share information with us? Be sensible and tell us everything you know, then hand over all your equipment. We'll spare your life. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you. I can crush someone like you with a single finger, hahaha..."
The other man added, "You've entered our territory and triggered our defense alarm. This alarm is a one-time use, and we have to purchase a new one. You must compensate us. Hand over all the money you have as compensation. Hurry up, what are you dawdling for!"
Seeing the arrogance of the three, Ye Shen, sitting in the off-road vehicle, became furious. "These three are too detestable, utterly reckless! How dare they speak to us so arrogantly? They don't know our strength! Hmph, these three are just like the Peace Alliance back then, arrogant and self-important. Let's show them some of our power!"
Qin Feng nodded and then commanded his Red Alert army to surround them. He then controlled the Red Alert soldier again and said to the three, "I didn't want to cause trouble on this journey. Considering we were all transported from the same world, I didn't want to make things difficult for you. But you brought this upon yourselves, so you can't blame me. My policy for this journey is: I don't offend others unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will not spare them! You spoke such arrogant words to me just now, and now you must pay the price!"
"Price? Hahaha..."
The leading man burst into laughter, then drew his long saber. The blade gleamed with a chilling light, clearly a treasure. Coupled with his robust physique, he looked as if he could devour an elephant alive. The man strode towards the Red Alert soldier with a ferocious smile and arrogantly said, "You're the first one to dare speak to us like this. If your combat power were above 200, we might have shown you some respect. But your combat power is only 10, and you still dare to speak so arrogantly. In our eyes, you are a joke. I will break one of your arms now and let you know our might."
As he finished speaking, he was about to make his move. But the next moment, he froze. He realized there were countless people approaching from behind him.
They marched with orderly steps, each footfall on the ground causing the earth to tremble. The booming sounds continued incessantly, as if thousands of troops were surrounding them.
The three were instantly stunned. They looked in all four directions and found themselves surrounded. Numerous people were converging towards them from all sides. Even more terrifying was that these people were all wearing identical clothing, the same as the person in front of them. They looked like triplets, as if cast from the same mold.
With so many people, even if their combat power was only 10, they would be difficult to deal with. Moreover, each of these individuals held a weapon in their hands.
The leading man began to panic. He quickly retreated a few steps and then looked at the woman in their group. "Quick, check their combat power!"
The woman did not dare to delay. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly took out the telescope-like device, observing it carefully. She then exclaimed in surprise, "Each of their combat power is 100!"
"What? Everyone's combat power is 100? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
The woman nodded solemnly. "I'm not mistaken. The device shows this numerical value."
Qin Feng smiled upon hearing her words.
A regular Red Alert soldier had a combat power of only 10, but equipped with a mortar, it reached 30. With the enhancement of the high-tech shell accelerator, the overall combat power of each Red Alert soldier reached 100. This was a factual number, and it was precisely because of this that Qin Feng, controlling a vast Red Alert army, had the confidence to embark on this journey.
Without such combat power, relying solely on his Golden Core stage cultivation from the Wordless Heavenly Book, he would not have dared to traverse such vast areas.
Seeing that the three were already petrified, Qin Feng continued to command the Red Alert soldiers to address them. "Tell me all the information you know. Hand over all your equipment to me. Transfer all your money to me as your apology. Otherwise, I will unleash a barrage of artillery, and you will perish without a burial place."
...
Thus, the Red Alert soldiers returned with a bounty.
Qin Feng was not interested in their weapons, nor was the information particularly important. However, the telescope-like equipment piqued his curiosity.
He held the device and looked at Ye Shen sitting beside him. The device displayed a few words: "Overall Combat Power: 50!"
Qin Feng smiled. The equipment was quite useful, but it had a significant flaw that made it redundant for him.
That is, this equipment could only simply calculate the combat power granted by a person's equipment and their inherent combat power, adding them together to derive a data point. However, it could not detect certain special attributes.
For example, the bracelet with a ghost on Ye Shen's wrist, if it were to unleash its power, its combat power would be over 100. Since this equipment was not activated, the telescope-like device could not detect it.
Furthermore, his SSS-grade talent, "Red Alert Domain," could also not be detected by this equipment, and therefore, it could not ascertain his true combat power!
