Chapter 30: The Cake is So Sweet, It’s Just Too Delicious!

“Lord, are you saying that the Savior’s ability might be like yours, also an SSS-level?!”

Lin Zhoumin’s voice trembled, somewhat disbelieving.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine.

An SSS-level ability user in the golden age would mean something extraordinary.

That would be someone truly godlike!

Perhaps, in every sense of the word, the real “Savior”!

The meeting room was silent, not even a needle could be heard falling.

Everyone was shocked, but more than that, they were filled with joy and hope.

They hoped this was true.

That the Savior could really awaken an SSS-level ability.

“It’s just a guess for now, but the values detected by the sent detector are off the charts, so it must be so.”

“Let’s pretend we don’t know anything. Don’t show any intention in front of her.”

When he said this, Song Lufeng’s voice was slightly cold, with a hint of warning.

He definitely didn’t want anyone on his team making such a low-level mistake.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They promised to say nothing.

But their excitement was hard to hide!

“I want to hunt a few more exotic beasts, not level seven, I need level eight. The energy from level eight crystals is higher and stronger!”

“Right, if we use level eight energy crystals, the Savior’s ability will surely awaken even better!”

“Level eight beasts? Those are beast kings, with thousands of minions under them. Can you handle that? Maybe the Lord can!”

“Don’t underestimate me! After eating the Savior’s food, my ability evolved. Why can’t I go hunt a level eight beast?”

Everyone’s tone was lively, completely different from when the beasts attacked the city, where there was a sense of gloom. This time, they were genuinely excited.

The operation to repel the beasts had gone too smoothly.

Everyone’s abilities had improved.

Some with exceptional talent even broke through and leveled up in the midst of battle.

Like Lord Song.

When Song Lufeng heard them mention him, he raised an eyebrow and pulled out a brilliant crystal core.

“I can indeed kill level eight exotic beasts.”

One of the beast kings was among the beasts attacking the city.

The reason there was no alarm raised was that they feared disrupting the soldiers’ morale. They didn’t want to scare them before the battle even started.

Once the battle began, he went alone to intercept the beast king. Once the beast king died, the other beasts fell apart, and no longer posed a threat.

At first, everyone was just talking, boasting.

But when Song Lufeng actually pulled out the level eight crystal core, everyone was genuinely astonished.

“Lord, you’re too strong!”

“This is a level eight crystal core! The energy is far beyond level seven!”

“Fantastic, Lord! You’re so strong now, I barely recognize you!”

Everyone was overjoyed, thrilled, with tears in their eyes!

How difficult it was!

For Lord to level up his abilities!

Previously, every use of his abilities had drained his life force, and he only used them as a trump card in the most dangerous situations.

But now, this power could be used proactively multiple times in a day!

Didn’t this mean they were about to launch a counterattack on the exotic beasts and reclaim the lands they had taken?

Those were their lands!

The land where the sons and daughters of Huaxia had lived for generations!

Just as everyone was cheering, the cake that Gu Man had ordered was delivered.

The table was covered with beautifully crafted, sweet cakes.

There were also bags of fluffy bread beneath the table.

Everyone glanced at the spread, unable to look away.

“What is this?”

Everyone was entranced by the sweet smell.

The sweet scent made one feel happy, overwhelmingly sweet.

How could something smell so captivating?

“It’s cake.”

Song Lufeng spoke before Lin Zhoumin.

“It’s cake the Savior sent me.”

Today was his birthday.

But it didn’t need to be known by others.

As long as she knew.

But he still emphasized it a little, with a slight private pride.

“Although, the Savior is too kind to the Lord. I’m really jealous!”

Shu Weng, the young general with an S-level ability, good looks, and a great personality, said this with perfect timing.

If anyone else had said it, they’d sound melodramatic.

But his words were exactly what everyone felt!

That’s what everyone meant!

The Savior was too kind to the Lord, they were jealous!

“Everyone can pick one cake to take, and you can also take a bag of bread.”

Shu Weng smiled widely and helped himself.

“Look at my mouth! I’ve been saying nonsense. Our Savior is the best, and so is the Lord!”

“Haha, I won’t be polite then!”

He wasn’t jealous at all now. In fact, he hoped the Savior would treat the Lord even better.

“Exactly, exactly, Shu Weng is right.”

Shi Hai’s eyes lit up as he picked a blue cake, certain his daughter-in-law and grandson would love it.

“This kid couldn’t talk as a child, but now he’s finally speaking sense.”

Lv He also took a cake to give to his wife.

“If this kid dares to talk nonsense again, I won’t let him off!”

Cheng Fang picked a strawberry cake for his daughter.

“Heh, I won’t be polite.”

Bai Shuang took a cake to share with Qi Wan, as the child had been placed with her, and she wanted to take good care of them.

Everyone took their cakes, making sure to take fewer or no breads.

Song Lufeng understood their intention and decided to send the bread to the research lab for the intellectual-type ability users who needed it.

When the room was empty, Song Lufeng finished his work and took out his phone to listen to what Gu Man had said.

Little master, there’s more in this chapter, please click to continue reading. It gets even more exciting!

It seemed that the Savior regarded him as a friend to chat with, telling him about the events of the day.

Finally, one sentence was repeated over and over.

“Song Lufeng, happy birthday.”

“Song Lufeng, happy birthday.”

“Song Lufeng, happy birthday.”

…

With each repetition, his heart grew more joyful.

And his power grew too.

He ate each bite of the cake, savoring the sweetness that reached his heart.

Tonight, the lights in the base shone brighter.

The base had also released warmth.

With today’s victory, the beasts’ blood and flesh had been converted into energy, enough to supply the base for a while.

“Grandpa, will we have such good days every day in the future?”

Shi Yan asked with wide eyes, taking small bites of the sweet cake. He felt warm and happy, thinking the future would be wonderful.

Shi Hai fell silent.

He couldn’t answer his little grandson.

He gently said,

“Eat, this is the cake the Savior sent.”

He didn’t know if they would live like this in the future, but the current days were unimaginable before.

The rice, flour, meat, water, and vegetables in the warehouse!

Just looking at them made him feel energized and hopeful.

He thought he wasn’t too old yet.

He could still fight for his descendants, at least to keep them from living like this.

The little guy ate a couple of bites and then offered the cake to his grandfather.

“Grandpa, you eat. It’s really delicious.”

Shi Yan was a filial child. Even though he wanted the cake, he still raised it to his grandfather.

He truly wanted his grandfather to eat more.

“I’ve eaten, you eat. You’re growing, eat more.”

“I’ll share with Grandpa, leave half for Dad and Mom when they come home.”

The little one stubbornly held out the cake, speaking earnestly.

Shi Hai smiled as he patted the child’s head. But suddenly, Shi Yan’s face turned pale, and with a gasp, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood splattered onto the cake, a shocking sight.
