Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Once Serene Paragon learned how to operate the simulation, she quickly immersed herself and chose Xu Feng as the opponent. She could tell at a glance that Xu Feng was the strongest.

Why bother with the others when there was the strongest available?

This same logic applied to Carmen, who clearly wouldn’t accept fighting an inferior or equal opponent.

To become stronger, it is always wise to choose those superior to you so that you can learn and improve yourself.

"She’s going to take a while," Carmen commented. Each match lasted around 20-30 minutes. Even when she was a complete newbie, it took Xu Feng almost 21 minutes to defeat her.

It wasn’t that he was terrible, but the layout and design made it so the matches weren’t quick.

"Mhm, I suppose you can take this time to start preparing." Xu Feng smiled lightly.

The two of them hadn’t forgotten the reason why they bothered with the simulation.

To prepare Carmen’s first-ever leadership in battle, they made ample preparation in a short time crunch.

"I won’t be participating, but I will be watching." He informed her. As much as he trusted her, a battle could always have unexpected variables.

If Carmen was able to react and fend off those variables, he would naturally be pleased and reassured.

However, if it wasn’t something she could handle, he would still be satisfied with the result and offer his insight.

After all, everyone had to start from zero in any sort of progress. He didn’t just become a great leader in the snap of a finger.

It took him years and numerous studies plus trials to even climb to this step.

"Which town do we start to attack?" Carmen asked, her eyes fluttering in excitement and anticipation.

The Razor Nightmare Guild had multiple towns that they built and sustained themselves around.

Bardmon City was only one of the main cities that Razor Nightmare stationed themselves in to earn a sizable income to provide for their towns.

As poor as Bardmon City might be, there were quite a lot of raw resources only available in the region that were worth a fortune.

Had that not been the case, the Razor Nightmare’s Heir wouldn’t have been so willing to stay in such a low-level city.

But then again, all their effort bore no fruit and was instead snatched by Xu Feng.

Right now, with the alliance Xu Feng had with Kong Ming, all the raw resources in Bardmon City were now transported to Haven Wind City. In return for the raw resources, Xu Feng gave them a 35% cut of the overall sales price.

Don’t think that 35% seemed small or unfair.

Given the scale that Haven Wind City was showing, that 35% could easily triple or quadruple the overall revenue earned in Bardmon City.

Not to mention, it was also the first ever generosity that Xu Feng had offered to another NPC.

Kong Ming was worth the value, and Xu Feng also knew that the citizens in Bardmon City would feel too guilty if they were to receive more than what was necessary. They were all soldiers who put their lives on the line.

There was no way Xu Feng could bring himself to extort such honorable people.

To extort, he would gladly save them for these Super Guilds and arrogant pricks who didn’t deserve an ounce of respect.

"I’ve invited you to a channel that has a list of spies reporting to you. Their names are hidden, but it’s to protect their identity." Xu Feng invited her in and gave her a tag that stated #3.

Carmen raised an eyebrow in surprise. ’If Feng is #1, then #2 should be Veronica.’

She wasn’t disappointed at being #3 because she understood very well that Veronica’s contribution to the guild was the highest, excluding Xu Feng.

All the administration and tedious work that required constant surveillance was done by Veronica, and some more assistants that she recently recruited.

One of them happened to be Kailey, who now had to juggle between being the Star Team and Veronica’s assistant.

Everyone was working hard when compared to her.

’I must win this battle and prove myself.’

She became more determined than ever to win.

By inviting her to this chat that had numerous spies feeding information to her, Carmen wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if she still lost with such resources.

"I’ll take my leave now." Carmen didn’t give any gratitude and merely excused herself. There was no need to offer gratitude between them.

It wasn’t like he wouldn’t understand her emotion right now.

And she would be correct.

"I shall have a feast prepared for your return." Xu Feng mused and watched her slowly retreat into the distance.

This time, he really didn’t have any backup plan for Carmen.

It was a blind belief, but also a trial for Carmen to break through.

Starting from now, she would truly branch out from the Carmen that he knew in the past timeline.

Whether she succeeded or not, the fact remained that Carmen was showing a different side. And he was there to witness it all.

Even he had changed a lot from his past timeline and altered quite a lot of things.

Of course, not all alterations were done exactly as he desired, with others diverging from his past timeline path into others due to the butterfly effect. But if given another chance, Xu Feng would still do the same without regret.

He was no longer living in the shadows or under someone’s command.

He was now living in the sunlight and operating things that he wished for without anyone’s influence.

Maybe this was what they considered true freedom.

But for Xu Feng, it was simply him finally having a proper breathing room.

"A proper guild war against a behemoth is commencing. Not a bad start for the legacy era." He muttered and turned around to look at Serene Paragon.

In less than 5 minutes, she had already been defeated, with her fortress completely left in ruins.
