Global Demon Transformation.

Chapter 14 My Family
Because of the use of the Evil-Sealing Seal, Lin Feng, who was already depleted of qi and blood, had a huge increase in appetite. He ate five bowls of rice plus the plate of pork demon meat in no time.

As his blood and energy spread throughout his body, Lin Feng felt warm and refreshed, and his condition improved somewhat.

After dinner, it's a rare time to rest after a hard day's work.

There's a custom, or rather a rule, in the riverside community that no one can easily break unless there's a special circumstance.

That means the lights must be turned off after nine o'clock, and no loud noises should be made.

The distance between the riverside community and the limit of [Blue Moon]'s coverage area is less than 100 meters.

Outside the city, there are hordes of monsters. Turning on the lights at night would attract them, so even if the residents aren't asleep, they won't turn on their lights.

If you listen carefully, you will hear the roars and howls of monsters coming from not far away.

It's fine at this time, but if it were a quiet night, it would definitely affect everyone's rest.

It was almost 7 p.m. when we finished dinner, and there were still two hours until 9 p.m.

Everyone cherished these two hours.

As usual, Old Ma brewed a pot of tea and turned on the TV.

Although he was just a lowly clerk in a government office, he never missed a single news report, while Ma Lele went to do her homework and her older sister went out to make a phone call.

Would you like some tea?

Seeing Lin Feng also sitting on the sofa, Old Ma was a little surprised and raised his teacup to ask.

After saying that, Old Ma gave Lin Feng a strange look.

He noticed that Lin Feng was behaving strangely today.

Lin Feng used to be somewhat aloof. Although Lao Ma didn't reject him and treated him with respect, he could clearly sense the distance between them.

Although Lin Feng was very obedient and sensible, and had never caused him any trouble since childhood, Old Ma was actually somewhat afraid of this stepson.

This fear wasn't dread, but rather Old Ma's awareness of his own ordinariness.

He had neither ability nor connections, and aside from basic living expenses, he had no way to help Lin Feng.

Undeniably, he was somewhat insecure.

He was afraid that Lin Feng would despise him, his useless father.

But today, Lao Ma noticed that Lin Feng seemed much closer to him.

At today's dinner table, he even served himself food, a first in history, which touched Lao Ma.

"Have you grown up yet?"

Old Ma had some doubts.

This change is too drastic. In his view, it must be because he was traumatized by the failure of Awakening Day.

"No need, I'm not thirsty."

Lin Feng shook his head and watched TV.

Today's news in Wuhan is, without exception, broadcasting the powerful footage of Awakening Day.

Without a doubt, the ten geniuses who appeared on the screen are the protagonists of today's news.

The identities and strengths of the ten main characters have been thoroughly investigated.

Especially Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu rejected the Thunder Club's offer of a 30 billion yuan, ten-year contract, but it's clear that as the only S-level club in the city, they won't easily give up such a top talent from their own city!"

"According to reliable sources, Blade Group is preparing to hire Ye Qiu as its brand ambassador, with an endorsement fee of up to 100 million Singapore dollars per year."

"Having refined the Thorn Dragon, ranked 17th on the Earth Ranking, Ye Qiu's future profession will most likely be Battle Mage!"

"Tianyuan Supermarket, a well-known chain brand in this city, is one of the group businesses founded by Ye Qiu's father. Tianyuan Supermarket was established in 2133 with a registered capital of..." the host introduced with slight excitement.

"too crazy."

Old Ma sighed, and Lin Feng was also somewhat astonished.

At this moment, on the television screen, Tianyuan Supermarket was covered by enthusiastic crowds. The entrance, which was ten meters wide, was teeming with people. Thirty or forty security guards held hands to maintain order, and people had to queue for a long time to enter the supermarket.

Inside the supermarket, many shelves were nearly empty, with only a few items left.

In just a few hours, a supermarket was almost emptied out, as if it were free.

Such a frenzied scene only occurs before a major war.

At this moment, it seems that the people of Jiangcheng are expressing their affection for Ye Qiu in this way.

Fortunately, the stock market no longer exists, otherwise the stock price would probably have hit the daily limit.

"Now for a news report: At 15 PM yesterday, a new interdimensional portal appeared in Crescent Moon Community. According to the latest statistics, the death toll among civilians has reached 67, with another 26 injured. The city guards have secured and sealed off the community, and the scouts have immediately entered the portal to investigate. There is no further news yet..."

"67 people died, thank goodness!"

Old Ma put down his teacup, muttering to himself.

The atmosphere, which was originally quite exciting because of Awakening Day and Ye Qiu's sudden emergence, suddenly became somewhat heavy.

67 people!
Representing 67 families, plus the 23 injured, this time the portal has affected hundreds of people.

While people are cheering for the top ten geniuses of Awakening Day, they seem to have completely forgotten about yesterday's tragedy.

Even the news didn't show footage of the crime scene; it just presented simple numbers and narration, quickly ending and switching to the next news item, as if it were unimportant.

Even Old Ma only sighed for a while, and even felt somewhat fortunate.

Of course, this is not because he is carefree, nor is it because he is cold-blooded.

Simply because we were powerless to do anything about it.

The location and extent of the spatial portals appear without any pattern, making them impossible to prevent.

Nobody knows if they'll be the next unlucky one, so not paying attention or thinking about it makes life easier.

This kind of news isn't just happening in Wuhan; it happens all over the country from time to time.

67 people is indeed a small number.

They were lucky. If the portal had appeared in a densely populated area and a large number of high-level demonic beasts had appeared, even with the warning from the guardian artifact, the death toll would have been far higher.

As Lin Feng watched the news, his eyes remained calm, but his body tensed up instinctively.

Having personally witnessed the horrific destruction of the city, where hundreds of millions of people were devoured by monsters, rivers of blood flowed, and limbs were scattered everywhere, Lin Feng thought the number of these 67 people was insignificant. He thought he would be calm, but for some reason, he still felt very depressed.

Powerless!

The extreme feeling of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable!
Even if he were reborn, he would still be pitifully weak now.

At this moment, Lin Feng desperately craved power.

"Ah Feng, can you help me with something?" Just then, his mother's voice came from the kitchen.

"coming."

Lin Feng responded with a soft sigh, got up, and went to the kitchen to chat with his mother.

He enjoyed the warm atmosphere, but soon noticed something was amiss; his mother seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Mom, what do you want to say?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

“Ah Feng, I know your dream. You wanted to become a demon spirit master when you were a child.”

"Your talent is quite good. You've already reached the seventh stage of body cultivation. With the help of resources, you should be able to break through to the eighth stage. And then..."

Lin Feng was a little confused at first, but he soon realized what his mother was going to say.

"Are you thinking of begging that man?"

"what!"

Lin Fang was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Feng to guess her thoughts so quickly.

Even more unexpectedly, Lin Feng remained so calm.
You should know that in the past, whenever his father was mentioned, the well-behaved and sensible Lin Feng would become somewhat agitated, and would even lose his temper.

This calmness seems very unusual.

"No matter what, he is still your father. If you can get his help, you still have a chance to become a demon spirit master."

Lin Fang carefully chose her words, not wanting to upset her son:

"With your talent for cultivation, if you can become a demon spirit master, you still have a chance to get into one of the nine elite joint schools in the future."

“I know you hate him, don’t want to see him, and don’t want to talk to him. That’s okay, Mom will talk to him.”

"Just tell me, what level of demon spirit can your soul power fuse with? What attributes? Do you have a specific goal? What kind of demon spirit do you want?"

Lin Feng listened calmly to his mother's words, feeling a warmth in his heart.

This is his mother!
Despite the hardships of life, it did not diminish her love for her children.

After that man left, she single-handedly supported her family.

They might have fewer of what other children have, but they certainly don't lack anything. Even when he is rebellious, his mother will reason with him and never hit or scold him.

Lin Feng understood that the man's departure from home had left him and his older sister as children raised in single-parent families, which made his mother feel indebted to him, so she did everything she could to make up for it.

Even after she married Lao Ma, this affection for her never diminished in the slightest.

Actually, his mother was stronger than him.

No matter how hard life was, she never begged that man for anything. Now, for his future, she was willing to put aside her pride and even pretend to be relaxed in front of him.

"Is it because of Ya Ge?" Lin Feng wondered to himself.

In his previous life, knowing that he could not become a demon spirit master, his mother did not mention his so-called father.

The biggest difference between now and in the past is that Ya Ge has soared to great heights and moved away from the shore-side community.

The mother didn't say it, but she was definitely anxious.

"Mom, you don't need to think about what to say. I've already figured it out."

Lin Feng said in a relaxed tone:
“That man is a stranger to me now. I won’t beg him, and you don’t need to beg him either.”

He used to hate that man.

After all, he had left home when he was five years old.

They left without saying a word!
At that time, he longed for his father's love and for someone to support the family and not let his mother suffer so much.

But now, for him, it's just a vague memory.

He was just a stranger.

Lin Feng knew that the man was currently in Beijing.

If I remember correctly, he is currently a peak ninth-grade Lingyun expert, just one step away from becoming a Martial King.

Furthermore, he cultivates both spiritual and martial arts, and has refined a ninth-tier demonic spirit, the Devil Mantis, making him extremely powerful.

"The Yang family, one of the ten great families of the capital, was bestowed the title of 'Honored Family' by the government for its outstanding contributions during the great calamity. The Yang Group, which it founded, primarily manufactures weapons for demonic beasts; it is a powerful and well-established group with assets both domestically and internationally."

This is a basic introduction to the Yang family from a computer encyclopedia.

Lin Feng had investigated this family before, not for the purpose of returning or for revenge.

It was just to make him regret it, regret that they abandoned him.

In his previous life, although he had reached the eighth-grade Grandmaster level, he was powerless against such a behemoth, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Seeing Lin Feng's persistence, Lin Fang remained silent for a long time, until her eyes finally reddened slightly.
"Then what about your future?"

The thing she regretted most in her life was marrying Lin Feng's father.

That seemingly very proud man, but who was actually hypocritical and irresponsible.

Now, that man abandoned them and left home for the sake of his family, and she has gradually forgotten him.

Life had to go on, and she struggled to raise her children, eventually changing their surnames to hers.

Now that she's with Lao Ma, her hopes lie in their three children.

Fortunately, all three children were obedient. The eldest and the youngest were both girls who would get married sooner or later. As long as they didn't go astray, they could marry into good families. Her hopes were mainly placed on the second child, Lin Feng.

She hopes that Lin Feng can get into one of the nine elite universities, find a good job after graduation, and move away from the riverside community.

She was just a factory worker with no social connections, and everything depended on Lin Feng himself.

Lin Feng felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw his mother's reddened eyes.

He could tell that his mother was getting angry because she was so stubborn with him, but even so, she was still just trying to persuade him and didn't scold him like a parent would.

She respects herself and is always mindful of her own thoughts and feelings.

Lin Feng couldn't help but want to tell his mother that he had a rare demon spirit inside him.

If I could refine it, not only would getting into the nine elite joint schools be no problem, but getting into the three hero academies would also be no problem.

He just couldn't say these things to his mother.

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do to help you. You chose this path, so you have to walk it yourself."

Finally, faced with the stubborn Lin Feng, Lin Fang could only sigh helplessly.

Living in a riverside community, how can one escape this fate without getting into one of the nine elite joint schools?

Although she hopes her son will have a bright future, she will not force him to do anything he doesn't like.
