Everyone who saw him along the way would greet Xue Jing in a friendly manner.
During the trip to the border, he was addressed as Lord Jing.
"There's a pleasantly thick barrier between us..."
Xue Jing lifted the tarpaulin of the tent and entered. The cool air from the air-conditioning blew in, forming a sharp contrast with the extreme heat outside, making him feel cool all over.
"Xue Jing!"
"Brother Xue!"
As soon as he entered the door, he zipped up the tarpaulin and took off his gas mask, and the members of the Void Blade team and Dr. Shen Dashen in the tent came to greet him.
"You are too strong, that is a pure-blooded dragon. You killed a pure-blooded dragon!"
"How did you do it? Tell us quickly."
The mandrill came up quickly, put his arm around Xue Jing's shoulders, and winked.
"It's a long story. Let's talk about it on the way back to Fengcheng." Xue Jing smiled and said.
He turned around, took off the black bracelet on his arm, and handed it to Dr. Shen:
"PhD."
This is a bracelet used to record all his actions in the border area.
Dr. Shen carefully reached out and took it, as if what he was holding was not a bracelet, but a precious antique that had just been unearthed and would break if touched.
This contains the entire process of fighting and killing a pure-blooded dragon...
"Excuse me!"
As soon as he got the bracelet, Dr. Shen ran impatiently to an instrument in the tent.
The person in the mirror who had been staying in the bracelet entered the mirror through the reflection of the bracelet and the small mirror on the table the moment Dr. Shen ran across the table.
It pretended to be relieved and said:
"It's so stuffy. The space in the bracelet is too small. It's more comfortable to stay in the mirror."
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could borrow a mirror from Renia."
The person in the mirror waved his hand and said, "It's so tense in the border area, how can I have time to consider living conditions? It's not convenient for me to follow you all the time if I stay in the mirror."
Xue Jing nodded: "That's right."
Xu Ren said from the side: "Xue Jing, you really worked hard this time."
"Although the reflection and fusion of the mirror world was a sudden accident like a natural disaster, the upper echelons of the organization will still give you some compensation... In addition, you killed the pure-blooded dragon this time and directly destroyed the core of the boundary area, which was a great achievement. The combined reward should not disappoint you."
Hearing this, Xue Jing's eyes suddenly lit up: "No need for any other rewards, you know me, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like divine relics..."
Xu Ren nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the agency also knows what you want. It must be a divine relic."
Xue Jing touched his chin and said, "Well, I suggest that you let me go directly to the place where you store the divine relics. Don't worry, I won't take them, I'll just touch them. My childhood dream was to touch all the divine relics. Now I want to fulfill my childhood dream..."
Xu Ren said helplessly: "There is no place in the agency that specifically stores a large number of divine relics as you think... Because the storage conditions of each divine relic are different, they are basically stored in many places..."
Xue Jing crossed his arms and said, "Then take me on a tour and I'll touch them one by one."
Xu Ren's expression froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"You really like divine relics too much... Unfortunately, this is impossible. Although the divine relics in the agency belong to the agency, they all have their own uses. They are usually managed by different important people. If you want to use them, you need to apply for complicated procedures... You can't just come and touch them."
Xue Jing said disappointedly: "This is too troublesome."
Void Blade: "Any organization that has reached a certain size is like this. A bloated and complex structure requires equally complex rules and regulations, otherwise it will gradually get out of control..."
Xue Jing waved his hand:
"I understand."
After the few of them chatted for a while in the tent, Xue Jing left the tent and went to the temporary shower room built in the camp to take a shower. He changed his White Crow tactical uniform into his own casual clothes, and returned to the tent refreshed. He asked:
"When are we going back to Maple City?"
Today is the day of the competition, and he has to rush back to Fengcheng District to play a game.
Xu Ren did not reply. She put her hand behind her ear and occasionally said "yes", appearing to be on the phone.
After a while, she put down the phone and looked at Xue Jing with a strange expression.
"Xue Jing... you have upgraded."
Xue Jing: “Hmm?”
Void Blade: "You are now a special consultant to the White Crow Task Force, a member of the Sixth Agency's Special Service Department..."
Xue Jing asked in confusion: "Then what was I before?"
"He was a non-member of my 838th Squad."
Xu Ren pondered for a moment and explained, "This is a special job title created just for you... In terms of rank, it's equivalent to the captain of our White Crows."
Xue Jing smiled and asked curiously, "One grade higher than you?"
Xu Ren shook his head: "Two levels higher... A squadron is composed of more than five teams. The team leader is the deputy squadron leader, and the one above is the squadron leader."
She looked a little strange: "From now on we have to call you commander..."
Xue Jing sighed and said, "Don't be so polite. From now on, you should call me boss in front of outsiders, and treat me the same as before in private."
Void Blade: “…”
The mandrill next to him twitched his lips: "You really are not shy at all..."
Xue Jing smiled and said, "It's just a joke... I don't think this special consultant has forced me to take on any duties."
Xu Ren shook his head. "Don't worry, everything is the same as before. It is still up to you to decide whether to accept the commission from the White Crow... It's just that now you are at a higher level and have more authority. You can command the White Crow members below the squadron leader to a certain extent, such as me."
Xue Jing nodded, "Is that so."
Then he asked in confusion, "I was promoted to this level just because I completed a task. It's too easy for you White Crows to upgrade."
After these words were spoken, both Void Blade and Mandrill fell silent.
"… You really don't understand the value of the pure-blooded dragon you killed."
The mandrill scratched his head and said helplessly.
"This is a monster that requires at least three White Crow Squadrons to unite and deal with, but you solved it by yourself. Regardless of the specific method you used, this record is shocking."
"The commander of our White Crow is probably trying every possible way to keep you here... He even resorted to the unethical method of directly creating a new position."
Xue Jing smiled and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. When are we going back to Fengcheng?"
The mandrill shrugged and said, "You are the commander now, you decide."
Xue Jing nodded: "Then let's set off immediately."
After saying this, he walked to the table, picked up the mirror on it, and asked the person in the mirror:
"Xiao Jing, what about you?"
The person in the mirror waved his hand lazily: "Wu Youqing promised to give me freedom, I want to live a lazy life for a while... Don't worry about me, I will come to play with you when I have time later."
Xue Jing smiled and nodded: "Goodbye then."
…
After saying goodbye to everyone in the camp, Xue Jing and the three members of the Void Blade team boarded the Dragon Core Plane they had come in on and sped off towards Maple City.
The harvest from this trip to the border was huge, the most since he got the panel.
A total of 6,000 divine harvests, countless regular skill experience points, a new divine skill 'Dragon Horn', a secret-level killer move 'Sakura Full Moon', and 'Dragon Sakura' seeds...
It’s more than just a bowl of rice and a lot of money to describe it.
Compared to when he came here, his strength has increased several times.
On the plane, Xue Jing looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, then picked up his cell phone after a long time.
He left his cell phone on the plane before entering the border area.
As soon as I opened the interface, countless message notifications and missed calls popped up.
From parents, sister, friends, master and senior students.
Xue Jing replied one by one.
"… So, you're coming back today?"
"When do you arrive? I'll pick you up~"
My sister Xue Wan's lively and cheerful voice came from the phone.
"Yeah." Xue Jing nodded in response, then looked at the time.
It is eleven o'clock now. According to the previous calculation that it takes more than four hours to fly from Fengcheng to the "Roaring Waterfall", it is estimated that we will not be able to return to Fengcheng until around three o'clock in the afternoon.
The game starts at 4 pm.
After thinking for a while, Xue Jing said, "I will probably go directly to the competition. If you want to see me, just come to the gymnasium."
Xue Wan said worriedly, “It seems that because of your appearance, the tickets were sold out a few days ago.”
"It's okay, I'll let Sister Wei take you in. Just like last time, you can sit in the players' viewing area. The organizer won't say anything." Xue Jing said.
Xue Wan said happily: "That's no problem."
Xue Jing placed his hands on his knees and tapped his fingers while casually saying, "By the way, how is Feng Wan? Is she still alive?"
Xue Wan said angrily, "Why are you talking as if its life is in danger? How could anything happen to it when I'm here?"
"… It's because you're here that I worry about her." Xue Jing complained.
This cat-loving devil... I don't know what kind of hell torture the cat has experienced in these seven days...
Xue Wan snorted softly: "If the cat is uncomfortable, it will run away on its own initiative. She must like me to kiss her!"
"It's right on my thigh right now and I can touch it wherever I want!"
"Come on, Xiao Fengwan, meow for your daddy to hear?"
On the other end of the phone, Xue Wan placed the phone next to the cat's ear on his lap.
Then there was a faint helpless meow.
"How is it~"
Xue Wan said proudly.
Xue Jing sighed and said helplessly: "... Don't use such a misleading name, my stupid sister."
But he knew that his sister would call herself mom in front of Mao Mao.
Isn't this a mess? What if others hear it
Xue Wan muttered, "What does it matter? It's just a nickname for a pet."
"Right, Xiao Fengwan~ You must like mommy's kiss the most, mua~mua~"
As he was speaking, the sound of cat petting was heard again on the phone.
Xue Jing could feel Maomao's despair even through the phone.
Xue Jing said meaningfully:
“… I suggest you don’t do this kind of thing too often, otherwise it might be embarrassing in the future.”
Xue Wan asked in confusion: "What... By the way, A Jing, let me tell you something. I heard from my mentor a few days ago that there are traces of other alien cults in Fengcheng."
"Which pagan religion?"
"It seems to be... the Lion Saint Cult."
Xue Jing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh?"
…
More than four hours later.
Maple City Stadium.
In the ring, two contestants were fighting fiercely until one of them was knocked out of the ring like a broken sack, and a tsunami of cheers broke out at the scene.
The auditorium was densely packed with more than 20,000 people. Any slight movement made by any of them could together be earth-shaking.
