Chapter 1015: Flood of Bronze, Gather!

Luo City gradually became hotter in April. The spring rain after Qingming festival[1](#ch$1015footnote$2) did not do much to cool Luo City down.

Nothing much seemed to have changed. The progress of the magically rich era gradually slowed down. The people who were supposed to awaken had awakened. The others had returned to their ordinary lives.

The Heavenly Network’s control over the Metahumans relaxed slightly. Some Metahumans even became internet celebrities on video applications.

But all the Metahumans had to be recorded. They were also under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Network.

It was as if Chen Zuan had been abandoned by his family. He did not have pocket money or resources from his family. When Chen Zuan went back during the new year, many elders in his family had changed their attitude towards him.

To the elders, those of the same age as him were still children, but Chen Zuan could sit at the main table during meals.

While they ate, his father praised him, which was something that did not occur often. He said that they fought well at Tiger’s Back, and that the fight was very impressive. Then, his father drank two glasses of alcohol and started talking about his battles back in the day.

The family was joyous and harmonious. But Chen Zuan, who once wanted to receive the acknowledgment of his family, now felt that these affairs were not so important.

He was like a person who was independent of his family. Everything he did had nothing to do with his family. When his uncles and aunties asked whether he could help some people enter the Heavenly Network, he politely rejected them.

Someone asked him to perform Practitioner skills, but was stopped by his father.

When Chen Zuan went to the courtyard to smoke, Chen Baili suddenly came and said, “Don’t think that your training has diluted your affection towards your family. This is something I have spent over twenty years thinking about before understanding. Some of them might be unscrupulous, but they are still family, and they do not mean evil. Big families have their own problems. It is enough as long as we are good people.”

Chen Zuan’s eyes turned red. On New Year’s Eve, while he was smoking, he suddenly felt that it was the first time his granduncle had talked to him this much. This meant that he had finally decided to acknowledge him. But the person who had helped him gain the acknowledgment of his family was not here.

No one cared that he was smoking. No one treated him like a student. This was what he had desired in the past. But now, it was different. He felt that something was missing.

He looked up and asked, “Will Brother Shu be able to return?”

“He will.” Chen Baili said calmly, “Are you still worried about him? He’ll be fine.”

That night, Chen Zuan returned to Luo City. Later on, he realized that Cheng Qiuqiao did the same. On the other hand, Cao Qingci was still waiting at the passageway.

He was shocked when he saw the car parked outside the door.

Cheng Qiuqiao suddenly said, “Brother Zuan, my family gave me a credit card to buy a car in Luo City. I can explain…”

Although he had taken his driving test when he graduated from high school. Cheng Qiuqiao never expected himself to be able to drive so early on. This was a common occurrence among young people in China. Although they obtained their driver’s license early, it would take many years before they were able to drive their own car…

But now, Cheng Qiuqiao received similar treatment as Chen Zuan. When he went home, he was treated like an adult. His mother had started to think about his marriage. She even prepared a few names for Cheng Qiuqiao’s future children…

But Cheng Qiuqiao was only 18 years old…

To many people, they had become heroes after the battle at Tiger’s Back. But Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao did not realize this immediately. The entire flood of bronze in the Heavenly Network took some time to realize this. When they returned and saw others treating them with respect, they finally realized that they had become heroes!

The bronze armor had been recorded with the name of its user and stored away, as 99% of the flood of bronze members did not have invisible storage equipment. They could not wear the armor daily for work. If they placed it at home, people would look at it greedily as well. Thus, it was better to store it with the Heavenly Network.

Furthermore, during this period of time, the members of the flood of bronze in various regions of the country had started to gather in Luo City because of the incident on Longmen Mountain. This was a slow process, as they needed someone to replace them when they left. Thus, only some of them were here. But Chen Zuan knew that in the future, the entire flood of bronze would gather in Luo City. A massive fortress would also be built around Luo City.

The Heavenly Network kept the bronze armor in the Luo Shen Cultivation College campus. They even said that they would make improvements to the armor.

Everyone sensed the tension in the atmosphere. Some felt that the opening of the passageway above Longmen Mountain was simply a coincidence, but no one doubted Nie Ting’s decision.

Chen Zuan looked at Cheng Qiuqiao. “How much money did your family give you? If you want to buy a car, you should buy a good one! If not, it will not be smooth when you drive!”

Cheng Qiuqiao was silent. He said, “They gave me 200 thousand. I feel that it is a decent price.”

Chen Zuan judged him. “200 thousand? Can you call that a car?”

Cheng Qiuqiao was silent again. He said, “Do you have 200 thousand?”

“… no.”

This was slightly awkward. Chen Zuan did not ask for pocket money from his family. Furthermore, he always spent all of his salary from the Heavenly Network. How would he have any savings?

Chen Zuan volunteered to help Cheng Qiuqiao choose a car. Cheng Qiuqiao suddenly asked, “Have you ordered a car that is worth 200 thousand?”

“No.” confessed Chen Zuan.

“Then why are you helping me choose?” Cheng Qiuqiao was puzzled.

They went to a showroom to look at cars. Chen Zuan insisted that they test drive the cars. He looked at the marketing manager with disdain. The marketing manager checked their licenses and brought the car out.

They had just gotten in the car. Before the marketing manager could do anything, dark clouds suddenly gathered about Longmen Mountain. There was the continuous sound of thunder!

Everyone in Luo City could see what was happening. It was as if the end of the world had come.

Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao’s phones suddenly rang. Chen Zuan looked at his phone and roared, “Hurry up, we have to return to Luo Shen Cultivation College and get our bronze armor!”

The marketing manager was dumbfounded. “Are the two of you from the flood of bronze?”

The marketing manager felt a sense of pride. He was bringing two members of the flood of bronze for a test drive! My god, what a miracle!

Before he could say anything, Chen Zuan said to Cheng Qiuqiao, “Yes, yes, yes, step on the gas. Let’s go…”

The marketing manager almost cried… it was as if he was riding a rollercoaster!

Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao were panicking. The Heavenly Network announced a level one emergency! Everyone was to prepare for battle! Flood of bronze, assemble!

If it was as Zhong Yutang and Nie Ting had worried about, the pathway was going to open!

Furthermore, it was not good news!
