Survey Corps branch, captain's meeting room.
Looking from the outside of the conference hall, the entire building looks like a yurt.
The interior is also very simple, with a small podium in the center. On the right is a round table layout, and on the left is a huge sand table layout of the first and second floors.
Nine of the sixteen captains came, and the rest were also preparing for the military exercises between the two armies elsewhere. They sat around a round table, and Bai Wu sat behind Wujiu like a little secretary.
Whenever a difficult and important task arises, the captains will gather together to discuss it.
Bai Wu, who is not a captain, is a rare case of someone coming in to listen.
The last time this happened was when Tao Yu, the former captain of Team 7, brought Wujiu with him.
It is normal that Wujiu is with Bai Wu now, but everyone knows that Bai Wu has only been in the Survey Corps for less than two months.
Bai Wu could actually guess most of the content of the meeting. There were roughly two aspects. The first was the arrangements for the military exercises between the two armies.
If Wujiu cannot participate, who should be sent to fight in the Survey Corps captain group and how should they be ranked
But this was only a problem in previous years.
In previous years, Wujiu was able to win the dual-army exercises in the captain group, but in the non-captain group, the middle-level combat power of the Survey Corps was far stronger than that of the Zhenyu Army.
Therefore, in the past two years, when the two armies compete with each other, the Survey Corps has always been in the dominant position because of Wujiu's existence.
But this year is different. This year, the Zhenyu Army... has dozens more companion forces that have broken through the fifth level and have captain-level masters in the top three hundred sequences.
Although the Zhenyu Army would always have one or several masters emerging inadvertently, this time, all of them suddenly appeared, just like two people playing chess and one of them suddenly went all in.
The lineup displayed by the Zhenyu Army at once allowed the middle-level combat power to catch up with the Survey Corps in an instant, and there was even a tendency for it to surpass it.
Coupled with the ban on Wujiu, this means that this year's military exercises between the two armies will face the possibility of a total collapse.
Therefore, the captains of the Survey Corps began to discuss how to fight.
Originally, Wujiu didn't need to be involved in this matter. After all, there were people in the team who were smarter than Wujiu.
But this time, there was a huge variable in the military exercise between the two armies.
Liu Mu, the captain of the Thirteenth Squad, said:
"You haven't been notified yet. This is the temporary notification we received shortly after you left the tower. This time the two armies will not compete inside the tower, but outside the tower!"
Wujiu was slightly moved:
"Competition outside the tower?"
The person who took over the conversation was not Liu Mu, but the captain of the fifth team, Long Xiao:
"Yes, it is said that this is a decision that was agreed upon by Brother Qin and the head of the Zhenyu Army. It came from a higher level."
Bai Wu found Long Xiao's notes very interesting.
Although he smoked, drank, permed his hair, liked to visit brothels, and the gangsters called him Brother Long, and he did a lot of bad things, everyone thought he was a good captain.
Wujiu didn't expect that such a big change would occur in such a short period of time.
In the past, the competition between the Zhenyu Army and the Survey Army was held in the large gymnasium on the third floor, but this time it was held outside the tower.
“From the fifth floor?” Wujiu frowned.
"Yes, it was directly approved by higher-ups. The commanders of both armies have no choice but to accept it," said Long Xiao.
"The venue has changed, so the rules have also changed, right?" Wujiu asked again.
"Yes, it is no longer a direct confrontation between the two armies, but a competition to see which side can hunt more evil."
Neither Wujiu nor Baiwu had thought of this rule.
The change was so large that Bai Wu felt something was wrong.
After going outside the tower to investigate these days, he understood one thing: Who knows what the rules are outside the tower
If it is no longer a military exercise between two armies, but a competition to hunt down evil, then the biggest variables lie in the evil and the venue.
"Has the venue been confirmed?" Bai Wu asked.
"I don't know yet. According to the rules we know now, the venue should be confirmed three days before the project starts. It seems that Captain Qin is not clear about the specific details..."
The one who answered Bai Wu was the captain of Team 11, Feng Zhan.
Long Xiao has the image of a gangster’s top thug, while Feng Zhan looks very gentle and elegant, but the remark he made for Bai Wu is very interesting.
Since there is wind, why is there jade? He has the secret of interest to the sixth level.
Could it be that he is the captain's rival? Maybe Feng Zhan has the same fighting style as the captain? Bai Wu did not rule out this possibility. If Yu refers to Gu Qingyu, this comment is a rare high evaluation.
It turns out that each of these captains is quite capable.
"Captain, you don't know? What about the difficulty of the area? You should at least give us the lowdown, right?" Wujiu asked.
"No one knows, but we will know in a few days. Anyway, each side will send twelve squad leaders to form two captain-level teams, as well as twelve vanguard groups to participate."
There are a total of twenty-four vanguard teams and four captain teams.
This is a large-scale operation, but I don’t know what area it is in, what the difficulty level is, and whether the evil in this area can withstand the hunting of so many experts.
This kind of area often has to be found a long time in advance.
So what exactly is the fifth layer for
"Did the captain say anything?" Wujiu asked.
"The captain just said that if safety can be guaranteed, it would be good. After all, for the Survey Corps, being strong does not mean defeating the Guardians, but being able to kill the evil."
The one who answered 59 was the captain of the first team, Meng Yuan. The companion force was the sixth level and the ninth stage. From what Bai Wu had heard in the past, this captain of the first team was very powerful, the kind that did not rely on any sequence.
But obviously, the captain of Team 1 is hiding some secrets.
Muscles, muscles, muscles. Unlike the dwarf's good friend Little Shield, he is an offensive muscle tyrant. Although he does not have any secrets that the sixth floor is interested in, he still has some tricks up his sleeve.
Yes... Without the small characters, you are not considered a top character, a poor little guy, a dwarf, a small shield, a little muscle bully...
Bai Wu now realized that his eyes were really arrogant, without any modesty. At present, he felt that these captains were masters among masters, and it was hard to imagine that the Zhenyu Army had a stronger existence than them.
But what we should pay most attention to right now is what the rulers of the fifth floor are planning
The military exercise between the two armies turned into a monster hunting competition. How should the variables be arranged
Bai Wu had a premonition that perhaps during this military exercise between the two armies, he would encounter some old monsters from the fifth level...
Perhaps they possess some powerful abilities
…
…
In the following time, Bai Wu admired Wujiu and several other captains for being able to discuss a boring topic with such interest for such a long time.
The candidates for the captain group were quickly selected, after all, there were only about ten people, while the personnel for the vanguard group were still under discussion.
Wujiu recommended Bai Wu.
The other captains objected:
"Does Bai Wu have the talent sequence?"
Bai Wu shook his head.
"What about the companion force?"
"Level 4, Stage 5."
"It's not low, but for this kind of battle, it's best for people with sequences to participate. If Bai Wu's companion power is below level five and he doesn't have a talent sequence, participating in the martial arts performance will not play a big role."
Several captains expressed their opposition, but Liu Mu did not say anything.
Wujiu was somewhat unhappy and said expressionlessly:
"It will take no more than thirty days for Bai Wu to grow from the first stage, second stage to the fourth stage, fifth stage, and he will leave the tower six times. Any other questions?"
This data was quite surprising even to the most capable captains in the Survey Corps.
"Six times... and he reached the fourth stage, fifth stage?"
When Liu Mu recalled the first time he met Bai Wu, his facial muscles twitched and he regretted very much that he did not forcibly take Bai Wu away.
The other captains also looked at Bai Wu as if he were a monster.
After all, the last person who performed so well was called Gu Qingyu.
"Interesting. I was wondering why you brought this guy in. Damn, Bai Wu, right? You're not bad. The last high-level missing case was solved together with Wujiu, right? Wujiu is pretty good. Where did you find such a talented guy?" Long Xiao said carelessly, with admiration in his eyes.
Although this person is a bit ruffian, he doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.
Bai Wu looked at Long Xiao's appearance and subconsciously wanted to hand him a lighter and said, "Brother Long, have a cigarette."
Meng Yuan said:
"You're just too skinny. How can a man not have some muscles? Why don't you stop hanging out with Wujiu and come to my place to train?"
Poaching Shorty's friends right in front of him? It seems the Survey Corps is still very harmonious...
Bai Wu said:
"Captain, I won't go. The military exercise between the two armies... is really not interesting to me."
Bai Wu is telling the truth.
He only kills the evil ones who want to kill him. Bai Wu does not hate most evil ones. Of course, he will not show this dangerous thought.
Wujiu didn't force it this time and said:
"Are you sure you don't want to go? Actually, you have a big advantage. If the area is large enough, perhaps under your leadership, the vanguard group can achieve good results."
"There are still many details to be determined about this martial arts performance, but I'm definitely not interested."
The other captains were a little confused. Is the newcomer from the Wujiu family so unique? In front of so many captains, he refused to save the leader's face.
Wujiu himself doesn't care, and Bai Wu also knows that Wujiu doesn't care.
"Since you don't like it, then don't participate. What do you think about the match arrangement?"
Bai Wu nodded. Since he was not going to participate, he should at least contribute something in other places.
He began to discuss the details with a group of captains.
It also mentions many strategies, such as intelligence reconnaissance, the opponent's data, the amount of companion power, and the number of sequences.
What is the sequence of the group members, what is the accompanying force, and whether the sequences can produce a combined effect.
Which sequences are mutually beneficial and which sequences are mutually exclusive.
Since it is a group hunt, it is not necessary for each group to be configured in a uniform manner. The auxiliary team, intelligence team, and combat team can be directly integrated.
Many of Bai Wu’s opinions were to the point, some of which were what the captains had thought of, while some were not.
For example, in terms of sequence combinations, in the past they only thought about making a team as strong as possible.
But under Bai Wu's sequence combination theory, there are more options.
After some conversation and discussion, Bai Wu left a good impression in front of the captains.
Everyone could more or less understand why Wujiu valued Bai Wu so much.
…
…
The two armies are about to engage in military exercises.
Bai Wu discovered that this was indeed a tradition that had continued for many years, because even some low-level people had heard the news.
On the way to the bargain port and passing through Fallen Street, Bai Wu even discovered a gambling game.
The question of who will win or lose between the Zhenyu Army and the Survey Corps has almost become the hot topic in the past few days.
It’s just that the lower-class people have little contact with the Defense Army, and the fact that the Survey Corps returned from the red zone a few days ago gave people mysterious confidence in the Survey Corps’ strength.
On the way to the port, Bai Wu heard all kinds of "beating" theories.
It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, in the eyes of passers-by, there is no such thing as a 50-50 match. If you win, you crush the opponent, and if you lose, you are beaten.
Moreover, strong strength really does attract fans. Bai Wu discovered that Short Brother actually has a fan club.
Along the way, there were all kinds of comments about 59 being the best in the world. Although the fact is that the short brother is the best in the world. But most of these comments were made by women, I wonder what the short wife would think if she heard it.
People at the bottom of society don’t have many options for entertainment, so when something big happens, everyone tends to just watch and watch.
Bai Wu was also happy to hear these people praise how great their captain was, even though the captain was suspended.
Then when he returned home, Bai Wu discovered... someone was waiting for him at the door.
It was none other than Ai Sao and Ye Weiming.
"Xiao Ye, Madam Boss, are you here?"
"You call me the boss lady?" Shorty is an extremely seductive woman, the kind of seduction that goes straight to the depths of a man's desires.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Wu, who seemed very calm:
"I call the captain the boss."
This flattery undoubtedly made the short sister-in-law feel very comfortable. She laughed so hard that her body shook:
"I'm a few years older than you, you can just call me Sister Ruan. My name is Ruan Qingyun."
Gu Qingyu, Ruan Qingyun...
The names of Short Brother and Short Sister are quite suitable.
Bai Wu smiled and said:
"I still want to call you boss lady. My name is Bai Wu. What do you want from me, boss lady?"
"Let's talk inside? Do you want me to stand?" Ruan Qingyun's every move was full of unique charm.
In Bai Wu's opinion, the appearance of the short lady is not inferior to Yin Shuangyanjiu, and is even not inferior to her beauty mole.
"This place is a bit simple. I do have some vacant residences on the ground floor. If you are interested, you can come with me to take a look later." Ruan Qingyun said with a smile.
Bai Wu shook his head and said:
"The boss lady is really nice, even nicer than the boss. But this place suits me very well. To me, the tower is just a place to sleep for the night."
This sentence sounds very simple, but it is simple with a bit of dominance, Ruan Qingyun appreciates it very much:
"I won't beat around the bush. Xiao Ye told me that you are very talented in solving embezzlement cases. I want to ask you for help with something."
"whats the matter?"
Bai Wu originally planned to take a quick nap before leaving the tower. However, since it was the first time that Aisao had asked for a commission, he might still consider helping.
"Recently, a lot of people have disappeared from the lower classes... To be more precise, they are beautiful young girls."
When he heard it was this case, Bai Wu instantly became serious. Last time, he had asked the interrogation team to pay attention to this case.
Why did even Aisao start paying attention to this case? Aisao's connections should be very strong, so why would she use me
As if seeing Bai Wu's doubt, Ruan Qingyun said:
"I recently discovered that I was being watched on the streets I frequent."
