Chapter 314 I'm just wearing a combat suit, and you're increasing my favorability?
The crowd began to disperse according to their assigned groups, and Wasim looked at Lin Feng with concern in his eyes:
"Brother Lin Feng, your name wasn't mentioned today... is it because of a special mission?"
Lin Feng nodded, his gaze sweeping over Tang Xiaofu, who was talking with a senior employee not far away, and replied in a low voice:
"Yes, there are other arrangements. You and Chiba need to be extra careful at the entrance today."
Wasim's eyes narrowed: "How I wish I could fight alongside you, but my gut feeling tells me that where you're going today is far more dangerous than here!"
"It is very dangerous," Lin Feng said calmly without denying it. "The vice principal will be personally involved."
Wasim nodded slowly, his expression becoming even more solemn.
He took a half step back, placed his right hand on his chest, and whispered in a solemn and devout tone:
"Understood. May Allah bless you, my brother. May He guide you through the darkness and bring you home safely."
At that moment, an old employee wearing worn-out overalls and with a blank expression walked over and stiffly beckoned to Vassim and Chiba Saori to come over.
Wasim glanced at Lin Feng one last time, patted Lin Feng's arm hard, and turned to walk towards the veteran employees.
Soon, only Lin Feng remained as the chosen one in the empty square.
Tang Xiaorui skipped over and hooked her arm around Lin Feng's: "Let's go find my sister!"
Tang Xiaofu had already closed the list, her eyes calm and expressionless: "Let's go to the principal's office first."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked straight towards the solemn administration building.
Lin Feng and Tang Xiaorui followed behind.
In front of the principal's office, Tang Xiaofu raised her hand and gently knocked three times.
"Come in." Tang Yuan's steady voice came from inside the door.
Tang Xiaofu pushed open the door and gestured for Lin Feng to go in first.
After the two men had entered, she followed them in and carefully closed the door behind her.
Inside the office, Tang Yuan was already standing behind his desk, leaning on his cane.
He didn't exchange pleasantries, nor did he even bother to look at the newcomer closely. Instead, he bent down, pulled out a black tactical case about half a person's height from under the table, and placed it on the table with a "thud."
"Time is running out," Tang Yuan's voice was short and clear. As he spoke, he quickly pried open the metal latches on both sides of the box, revealing the open lid. "Let's go straight to the equipment."
The first thing he took out was a set of clothes that were folded neatly.
The fabric was a dark grayish-black color, and its texture appeared unusually dense.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary tight-fitting sportswear, but under the light, you can clearly see that its surface is covered with an extremely fine, scale-like texture. It feels cool and flexible to the touch, yet it is exceptionally sturdy.
"This is a specially made combat suit," Tang Yuan tapped the fabric with his fingers, making a dull "thud" sound. "Its main functions are resistance to poison and physical tearing."
"More importantly," he looked at Lin Feng, his gaze sharp, "it can act like an extra layer of skin, temporarily isolating the pervasive resentment in the ancient tomb from directly eroding your body."
"Remember, the longer you stay in that kind of place, the more your 'human' nature will be eroded."
"This outfit will buy you some more time."
Then, he took out a long, narrow wooden box, opened its black velvet lining, and inside lay a simple, antique-looking short blade.
The scabbard was made from some kind of dark animal bone, and the hilt was wrapped with a dark red leather cord that looked as if it had been soaked in blood.
Tang Yuan gripped the hilt of the knife and slowly pulled it out.
The blade is a matte dark silver color, etched with barely discernible runes, and has a deep blood groove.
"This sword is called 'Silent Bone'." Tang Yuan's tone carried a hint of awe and coldness.
"See these runes? They have a strong 'tearing' and 'dispelling' effect on resentment, spirits, and things made of negative energy."
"Using it to attack Zhou Hu is more effective than any bullet."
He lowered his eyes, concealing the turbulent emotions within them, and when he looked up again, his gaze was chillingly cold.
"If... I mean if, you find yourself uncontrollably alienated, your limbs deformed, your consciousness blurred... plunge it into your own heart."
"This is the only way I can give you... to preserve the last vestige of 'human' dignity."
He carefully placed the short blade back into the wooden box and pushed it in front of Lin Feng.
"Don't just stand there, put on your combat uniform right now."
Lin Feng said "Oh," picked up the dark gray clothes, and subconsciously put the coat on.
"Wait." Tang Yuan raised his hand to stop him, his tone leaving no room for argument. "The combat suit must be worn close to the skin to ensure that the adaptive temperature control and protective field are effective. You only need to wear underwear."
Lin Feng was visibly taken aback for a moment, then nodded and turned to Tang Yuan: "Uncle, could you open the secret room inside? I'll go in and change."
Tang Yuan glanced at him sideways and snorted, "Stop being so coy, just change it here. Time is of the essence."
Lin Feng didn't say anything more and deftly unbuttoned his clothes.
His jacket, T-shirt, and trousers were quickly removed, revealing a well-defined physique—a strong chest with clearly defined muscles, distinct abdominal muscles, and V-lines that disappeared into his waistband, exuding a youthful and powerful vitality under the cool office lighting.
Tang Xiaorui's eyes lit up, and she stared at him intently without any attempt to hide it.
Tang Xiaofu, standing to the side, quickly turned her face away, a faint blush rising to her ears.
"You brat," Tang Yuan looked him up and down, a rare twitch at the corner of his mouth, "you've got a pretty good physique."
Lin Feng reached out and took the dark gray combat uniform, putting it on deftly.
The clothes fit every inch of the muscle contours perfectly, yet there was no feeling of tightness.
As the last hidden clasp automatically closed at the back of the neck, the entire garment surface developed a very faint matte finish, as if absorbing any excess light from the surroundings.
At this moment, Lin Feng's figure was perfectly outlined, yet shrouded in a layer of mysterious technological aura.
The dark gray tone of his combat uniform made him seem to blend into the shadows, with only his clean lines and smooth muscle contours faintly visible.
"Not bad." Tang Yuan nodded slightly, his tone unusually approving. "You've got a good clothes hanger, kid."
"Wow—" Tang Xiaorui took two steps closer, her eyes shining. "Feng, you look incredibly cool! You look like a secret agent from a sci-fi movie!"
Tang Xiaofu also quietly turned her gaze back, her eyes lingering on Lin Feng for a moment before she lowered her eyes, her fingertips gently rubbing her cuffs.
[Ding, Tang Xiaofu's favorability towards the host increases by 3]
Current favorability rating: 78/100
Lin Feng was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced in Tang Xiaofu's direction, then chuckled to himself:
It seems that even the most composed person is still effectively affected by visual impact!
However, Sister Xiaofu, your reason for "adding points" is much more "superficial" than when you deducted 20 points from me!
Lin Feng moved his shoulders and did a few simple stretching exercises.
The clothes are so light they feel like nothing at all, allowing for unrestricted movement, like a second skin, yet offering an added sense of security from being wrapped up.
"How is it?" Tang Yuan asked.
"I can barely feel its weight," Lin Feng clenched his fist. "It's very flexible."
"That's good." Tang Yuan glanced at his watch. "Now let's talk about the arrangements for the personnel entering the tomb."
