Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

After Xu Luo was ready, Wang Xiaoling started the motorcycle.

In this era, engine technology had advanced far beyond its previous state. Fuel was no longer electricity or gasoline, but a newly developed energy source that Xu Luo didn't fully understand.

With the roar of the engine, the entire motorcycle lifted off the ground and soared into the sky. An invisible energy shield blocked the wind on both sides.

Otherwise, at such high speeds, it would be impossible to keep one's eyes open.

"Where are you putting your hands?" Wang Xiaoling said coyly.

"Ah, sorry, sorry!" Xu Luo quickly moved his hands, which had instinctively tightened around Wang Xiaoling when the motorcycle took off, from where they shouldn't have been.

"I was too nervous just now. It's my first time riding a flying vehicle!" Although he said this, he thought to himself, "I didn't expect this girl to be so well-developed at such a young age."

"Hmph!" Wang Xiaoling wasn't sure if he was being truthful, so she could only snort to express her dissatisfaction.

"You can let go of me now. We're flying, it's not going to shake!"

"Oh, okay!" Xu Luo released his hands from her waist.

After taking off, the ride was indeed very smooth, without any bumps, unlike riding a regular motorcycle.

This thing was expensive, but it was also incredibly fast. The distance of over ten miles was covered in just a few minutes.

Landing on a designated parking area, Wang Xiaoling dismounted, not giving Xu Luo a friendly look.

Xu Luo grinned sheepishly, feeling a bit embarrassed. He had already taken advantage; he couldn't complain about her giving him the cold shoulder.

The Wang family's home was on the 162nd floor, occupying the entire level and several floors above.

Just this house alone would take Xu Luo over ten years to afford if he converted all the faith power from his Divine Realm into credit points, and that's assuming his Divine Realm maintained its current output and wasn't attacked by others during that time.

Despite being hundreds of meters in the air, a garden, swimming pool, and a small landscaped area came into view.

Seeing this, Xu Luo gained a better impression of the Wang family's wealth.

Although he didn't know exactly how rich they were, being able to make such arrangements hundreds of meters in the air was clearly a grand gesture.

"Let's go!" Seeing Xu Luo surveying the surroundings, Wang Xiaoling assumed he had never seen such a scene and paid it no mind.

Some people might never see these things in their lifetime, so his amazement wasn't surprising.

She led the way, passing through identity verification at the main entrance, then through the garden, before finally entering the interior of her family's home.

Seeing no doors appear, Xu Luo was even more amazed by this world's technology.

Although he knew he had come to a future world, and his own home had some very high-end facilities and equipment, it was child's play compared to this place.

In a place like this, take the garden for example - you could see it from the outside, but without verification, you couldn't enter. Who knows what else was around? And this was only what they were willing to let you see. If they didn't want you to see, they could just turn off the viewing function, and you'd see nothing.

The entire house was actually surrounded by ultra-clear glass, but it was invisible to the naked eye and could only be detected by touch.

Under Wang Xiaoling's guidance, the two proceeded without obstruction and quickly arrived at a small hall.

In the hall, a middle-aged man was already seated, with a butler-like figure standing behind him.

In front of him was a large table filled with various delicacies.

Seeing this, Xu Luo's lips twitched. This was real food, not nutritional meals.

"Hello, Xu Luo. I've heard a lot about you from Xiaoling. It's nice to finally meet you," said the middle-aged man, Wang Xiaoling's father and the chairman of the Wang Group, Wang Dezheng. He stood up with a faint smile, exuding friendliness.

Xu Luo was speechless. He had only met Wang Xiaoling yesterday; who knew him before that?

Although he wanted to retort, he couldn't undermine the other's goodwill.

"This is my father, also the chairman of our Wang Group, Wang Dezheng," Wang Xiaoling quickly introduced.

"Hello, Chairman Wang," Xu Luo responded, neither humble nor arrogant, though he was tempted by the food.

"Don't just stand there, please sit down," Wang Dezheng invited them to sit.

"I wasn't sure what you liked, so I had our chefs prepare a variety. Feel free to try."

"Chairman Wang, you're too kind," Xu Luo responded politely, unsure of the man's temperament.

"You're Xiaoling's classmate, no need to be so formal," Wang Dezheng shook his head.

"Calling me Chairman Wang is too distant. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Wang."

"Uncle Wang," Xu Luo complied.

"Ah!" Wang Dezheng responded, his smile growing brighter.

"I saw your battle with that Xiang boy. Very impressive!" Wang Dezheng gave a thumbs up.

Xu Luo's brow furrowed imperceptibly.

He didn't know the other's intentions, so he had to carefully consider every word and action.

"Uncle Wang, you're too kind."

"You're probably wondering why I called you here," Wang Dezheng smiled.

"I won't ask if you want to join our Wang family. Our temple is too small to keep you. But are you interested in cooperating with the Wang family?"

"Cooperate?" Xu Luo was puzzled.

"Yes! You've offended the Xiang family. Xiang Xun is one of their direct descendants, and his father is a petty man. He'll definitely cause you trouble. You could cooperate with the Wang family."

Wang Dezheng calmly stated what he knew.

"I have the Education Department behind me," Xu Luo smiled.

The implication was clear: no matter how powerful the Xiang family was, they were no match for the Education Department.

"Xiao Luo, you're still too young," Wang Dezheng shook his head but didn't continue.

"If not cooperation, then let's talk business."

"Hm?" Xu Luo was a bit confused by the sudden change of topic.

"What business?"

"You just acquired a batch of weapons and equipment, didn't you? Would you be interested in selling them to us? I'm willing to pay market price."

Wang Dezheng spoke sincerely.

"Market price?" Xu Luo's eyes narrowed.

"Don't overthink it," Wang Dezheng chuckled. It seemed he needed to be more direct for this young man to understand.

"I'm willing to pay market price for some of your damaged weapons and equipment. Naturally, I won't profit from this. I just want a promise from you."

"What promise?" Xu Luo thought, "Here it comes!"

"I hope that in the future, when you enter the World of Gods and go to the Continent of the Gods, you won't be enemies with the Wang family. As businessmen, we believe in harmony brings wealth. We don't want to fight with people."

"Is it that simple?"
