Chapter 10: Gaming capital

Outpost, Nightcrawler Command.

When the automatic door opened, Ling Feng, who was reading a report, looked up and saw his adjutant Lin Yang, a middle-aged man in his forties, walking in with a wry smile on his face.

Ling Feng gently raised the frame of his glasses: "Let me guess, is that kid in trouble?"

Lin Yang had to admire his boss's wisdom: "It's not a problem, it's just that it's shocking."

"Oh." Ling Feng was interested. "It surprised you, it seems he did something extraordinary. Wouldn't he... go and cause trouble for his former captain?"

"To be precise, he killed his former captain."

Lin Yang activated an operating interface on the wall, and the wall temporarily became a projection screen. On the screen, there was a scene of a bar, and Ling Feng saw two key figures in it.

Tianyang, and Qin Wu.

Ling Feng watched the whole process, and a rare smile appeared on his lips: "Although it can't be said to be perfect, it is rigorous enough. It turns out that he wants the identities of Night Walker and Shangmin to pave the way for revenge."

Lin Yang scratched his hair and said, "You are quite thoughtful, but your vision is too small. You are already an ascender, why bother with a small captain? Even if you want to retaliate, you can just follow the normal procedures, why do you have to do this."

Ling Feng folded his hands and supported his chin: "I don't think so. It is precisely because I am already an ascender that I should do this."

Lin Yang looked surprised: "Chief Ling, why?"

"The Ascended must not be offended!" Ling Feng's eyes were cold. "This is the iron rule of the fortress. If that little guy is just an ordinary person, with such a huge disparity in status and class, and still insists on revenge, even if he succeeds, he is still a fool in my eyes. Because next, he will have to endure a bigger and more violent storm."

"But he is now an Ascendant, and Qin Wu has already plotted against him. If he still follows the normal procedures, what will others think? If he is used by others, it is possible that the Ascendant's position in the fortress will be shaken. Over the years, there have been many voices questioning whether we should continue to invest so many resources in the Ascendant."

Lin Yang snorted and said, "How could those idiots who only know how to sit in the office know that only the Ascendants can suppress the high-level dark people."

Ling Feng looked at the young man whose throat was cut on the screen: "Because of this, the dignity of the Ascendants should be maintained. Today's incident is just a warning to certain people. Even if you are a commoner, as long as you are not an Ascendant, you cannot be offended!"

Lin Yang's heart trembled. He probably guessed that the young chief of staff was going to make a fuss about this matter. The little guy probably didn't expect that his action would become the capital of the upper-level game.

Tianyang really didn’t know.

All he knew was that after he walked out of the bar, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Don’t be fooled by how calm and composed he was in the bar just now, talking and laughing like a murderer.

But in fact, he was very nervous.

The fortress has a clear class division, and it has long been recognized

, all told him one thing: Shangmin’s status is unshakable!

At least that's true for the common people like them.

But just now, he killed a superior citizen.

The script went exactly as he had imagined, and now, Tianyang felt a sense of pleasure in breaking the rules and framework.

At the same time, I also deeply felt the superiority of the sublimators.

There were so many civilian officers in the bar just now, but no one dared to embarrass him. This was completely unimaginable in the past.

So many proud superiors lowered their heads when he looked at them.

This gave the boy a strange feeling that the world was under his feet.

Now his nerves were constantly releasing signals of tension and excitement, so Tianyang had no idea when he would return to the collection team's dormitory.

After sitting on his single bed for about 5 minutes, he finally calmed down and remembered that his job title information seemed to have changed before he left the bar.

When this thought came to mind, some information emerged clearly.

Avenger Class

Job Level I: Assassin

Job Abilities: Weakness Sensing, Instant Kill

Sublimation progress: 25%

Next rank: The Obliterator

... ...

Tianyang immediately grasped the key.

The sublimation progress suddenly increased by 11 percentage points!

How is this going

As far as Tianyang knows, in order to advance, the concentration of star essence must be increased.

Now that he has become an ascender, Tianyang knows more details. The concentration of star essence is the progress of sublimation.

To increase the concentration of star energy, the conventional way is to fight.

During battle, the star essence will be mobilized, consumed, and then regenerated through cells before settling. Repeating this process, the concentration of the star essence will gradually increase.

Secondly, it is to absorb the energy of the Star Marrow Pillar, but the Star Marrow Pillar itself is an important resource. Even though the importance of the Sublimator is irreplaceable to every fortress city, it is not so extravagant as to supply the Sublimator with the Star Marrow Pillar at will.

It is not difficult to know from the above information that the concentration of star essence should increase gradually, and it will never increase by 11% all at once like Tianyang.

This is too exaggerated!

Tian Yang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could it be related to revenge?"

This is the only possibility.

Considering one's own rank, this possibility becomes even greater.

If this is true, then different job levels should have their own corresponding means to significantly increase the concentration of star energy.

There are too many secrets in the Ascendants, and even in this super information age, some secrets will not be made public.

At least, Tianyang, who was still a commoner yesterday, was not qualified to know.

Bang!

The door of the dormitory

As the door was pushed open, a strong smell of alcohol immediately rushed in from outside the door, rushing into Tianyang's nostrils.

A strong smell of low-quality alcohol!

The boy frowned slightly, he didn't like this smell, not to mention the smell of sweat mixed with the alcohol. Mixing them together, no matter how you look at it, it's not pleasant.

"You... Why aren't you dead!"

Team member Dongyan's voice rang out. He and another colleague each held a bottle of wine in their hands. It seemed that they had just returned from the Holiday Time Bar, which was open only to soldiers.

Tianyang spread his hands: "How is it, a surprise?"

The two soldiers exchanged glances, and Dongyan raised his foot and kicked the door shut.

"Does the captain know you're back?"

The other soldier looked nervous.

Tian Yang said calmly: "For this kind of thing, you can ask in person."

The soldier was frustrated and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.

Dongyan tried hard to put on a smile: "Tianyang, we are all very happy that you can come back. You see, we had no choice but to leave you behind. You won't tell on us, right?"

Tianyang smiled back: "What do you think?"

The smile on Dongyan's face disappeared immediately: "Tianyang, you should know what is good and what is bad. Since you are not dead, let's forget about it."

"I'm not dead, so I don't care?"

Tian Yang shook his head: "Then if I beat you until you are left with only your breath, can you just let it go?"

"So, you will definitely report us?" Dong Yan's tone was obviously unfriendly.

Tian Yang corrected him, "To be precise, the higher-ups should be aware of this matter."

The news that he killed Qin Wu in the bar must have spread, and there was no reason why the higher-ups didn't know about it. But the Night Walkers would definitely deal with it, which was why he joined the Night Walkers as soon as he came back.

He needs to find someone to back him up.

Dong Yan and the other man's expressions suddenly changed, even though Qin Wu was the mastermind behind this matter.

But they did not stop it after all, and according to the rules of the fortress, they were accomplices.

He might be demobilized from the military or even have to serve a prison sentence. If that happens, his life would be over!

Thinking of this, the two soldiers' eyes flashed with murderous intent.

They exchanged glances, then nodded in unison and walked towards the boy sitting on the bed.

"New recruit, you asked for this." Dong Yan's face was grim.

"I'm going to jail anyway, so I don't mind having one more crime charged on me," said another.

Tian Yang certainly knew what they were going to do: "I advise you, it's not too late to back off now. Believe me, this is for your own good."

"Oh, is it so?"

Unfortunately, they didn't take Tianyang's warning seriously at all.

Just as a violent incident was about to happen, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open and screams were heard outside.

"What do you want to do!"
