Wen Yu once had an evaluation of himself— a mere martial artist.
This evaluation was quite accurate. For a martial artist, combat is work, and killing is the meaning of existence. During times of war and battle, Wen Yu, as a "pure martial artist" paired with immense strength, could certainly be compared to the sun on the battlefield.
However, when the war ends, it is time for a martial artist to lay down his armor and return to the fields... Of course, saying "lay down armor and return to the fields" is a bit exaggerated, as this world will never lack wars. But considering the current situation in the Beijing gathering place, Wen Yu is indeed temporarily in a "useless position."
On the day before the Beijing gathering place officially announced the end of the war, Wen Yu had already returned to the Eternal Sky City and began his "leisurely life."
Of course, the improvement of strength knows no bounds. In the absence of demonic creatures, Wen Yu finally turned his sights on another treasure— the various treasure lands within the Eternal Sky City.
The Eternal Sky City has numerous treasure lands, but almost all of them are permanently open types of treasure lands.
In terms of benefits to the Beijing gathering place, permanently open treasure lands naturally offer much more than one-time treasure lands. However, regarding the quality of items produced in a single instance, permanently open treasure lands fall significantly short. For Wen Yu, these treasure lands can only be said to be better than nothing.
After meeting with Lin Haifeng, Wen Yu used his previously acquired privilege to absorb a treasure land from a Demon Realm Gate on the nearest Demon Realm Gate in the Beijing gathering place. Lin Haifeng generously granted Wen Yu most of the access rights to the treasure lands.
The tedious "treasure hunting journey" began...
Wen Yu dove into the treasure land, not without a sense of evasion from the impending major events.
Knowing Lin Haifeng's personality and somewhat understanding his thoughts, Wen Yu was definitely keeping his distance from this matter—this matter was a pure bombshell, with no benefits, at least for Wen Yu. If he participated, the only outcome would be harm.
However, in this matter, Wen Yu was merely a supporting character, no, he was more like an outsider. When Wen Yu refused Lin Haifeng, Lin Haifeng had already excluded him from the overall plan.
And from the moment the war ended, the "Sea King Control Plan" also unfurled its sinister side.
After a simple shower, he stepped out of the bathroom, opened the wardrobe, and took out a neatly fitted leisure outfit.
Arthur looked in the mirror—his golden short hair shimmered under the sunlight pouring through the window. While not conventionally handsome, his cold demeanor elevated his overall image, standing at 1.85 meters tall with a proportionate build, neither aggressive nor imposing, yet providing enough sense of security for women.
"An 80 out of 100," Arthur modestly rated his appearance.
He casually picked up a beautifully wrapped gift box from the coffee table, left the room, and seemed impatient as he walked towards a certain destination.
Every sequence-level expert in the Eternal Sky City is assigned a residence. This is a little tactic Lin Haifeng uses to recruit strong individuals.
Of course, the same goes for the Beijing gathering place below.
Sequence-level or near-sequence-level experts, once they join the military, will inevitably be deployed on the battlefield below, making a house in the Beijing gathering place quite necessary.
However, in terms of safety, currently, there is probably no place safer than the Eternal Sky City.
Thus, those with family members will place them within the Eternal Sky City to alleviate their worries.
Under Lin Haifeng's planning, the houses for sequence or near-sequence-level experts are grouped together in an area, not far apart, with the only difference being the size of the residences.
Leaving his large and empty manor, Arthur set off, with his peak level 5 profession allowing even his leisurely stroll to be impressively fast.
