At the rest stop at the southern part of District 8-9.
In front of the guard lounge, the three soldiers who had followed Xu Qingran to clean up Area 8 were talking to their seniors in a buzzing voice.
Xu Qingran was choosing drinks in front of the water vending machine on the other side.
He ordered an orange flavored drink, put in two Kaian star coins, and the drink bottle fell down with a rumble. He took it out and saw that it still had the familiar formula, and it also came with a MT spirit value recovery agent.
This kind of recovery agent is actually artificial interference to accelerate the recovery of mental power, increasing the speed by about 3-5%.
It is of great help to psychics whose psychic pool class is below B, but as for those in higher classes, it can only be said to be better than nothing.
Xu Qingran held the bottle of drinks and thought about the day when he first traveled through time.
It seemed like yesterday, but a lot had changed. For example, his living conditions, the mental reserve after the mental pool was deepened, and as a D-type, his mental recovery speed was beyond ordinary people. He could clearly sense these changes.
Just like that day when he drove all the way from Tianshe to Tianlong, he only rested for half a day to recover most of the energy he had consumed.
It was a great feeling to be able to keep his mental strength sufficient at all times and to recover his strength quickly. He suddenly found Type D much more pleasing to the eye. Walking catnip was catnip, and being treated as a supply pack was a supply pack. Anyway, he had the right to refuse.
The most important thing is to think about going with Shen Tingyu to clean up the disaster area crazily in the future.
When the dog man is drained of energy, he still has a lot of mental energy reserves. Then you can make him call you daddy and give him mental replenishment.
Xu Qingran felt so happy just thinking about it that he couldn't help but curl his eyes.
“… It’s true! We went to check later, and the entire semicircle of the wild area within one kilometer was clean, with no trace of Type I demons at all!” The people in the lounge became more and more excited as they talked.
When Xu Qingran heard the noise, he turned around and saw several guards with messy hair like a bird's nest walking towards him.
It looks like he just woke up.
"New soldier, did you sneak in some new high-tech weapon?"
They would rather believe that Xu Qingran, who came from a prosperous galaxy, had cheating tools that could improve cleaning efficiency, than believe that he really had the ability.
Mainly, they didn’t see it with their own eyes.
Xu Qingran drew out his spiritual knife, and the way he held the knife was like that of a seasoned murderer.
Ask them: "Does this count?"
It's just a dagger that couldn't be more ordinary.
It's not even as noble as the one worn by their regional major.
So, a few people decided to go and see Xu Qingran's cleaning operations in person at night.
This evening they asked Xu Qingran to go to the area that the three soldiers were in charge of yesterday.
Because of the high-profile cleanup yesterday, when they went in today, all the Type I devils that were originally scattered in the bushes and on the land had hidden away, and they could only hear their sporadic high-frequency sounds like insects in the dark.
For the first time, the guards at the checkpoint were so united. Almost all of them went out, leaving only one person to guard the rest stop.
But to them, the group of devils is a threat that is difficult to break through, and they are "devils" that will bite them if they are not careful. Therefore, after entering the disaster-stricken area, everyone goes into coward mode, huddling together, and getting scared at the slightest disturbance.
Only Xu Qingran strode ahead, as calm as if he was here to collect folk songs.
The cold night wind rustled the leaves.
Several people observed Xu Qingran's movements from a distance, but did not dare to go too far away.
When they were walking deeper without realizing it, several Type I demons like red pythons suddenly slid out from the surroundings and rushed towards the direction where the crowd was gathered. Everyone was immediately scared and scattered. Those who had guns took out their mental guns, and those who didn't have guns could only use daggers for defense.
In fact, the most suitable weapon to fight against a group of demons is the psychic gun.
The source crystals on them are very small, so it would be best if they could be hit with a long-range attack from a mental gun. But the resources on Taiyue Star are really poor. In the entire pass defense team, only one person is equipped with a mental gun.
At first Xu Qingran thought that other people wouldn’t be able to use it.
I just asked about it and found out that the number of weapons is limited, so they are distributed in limited quantities to each area.
"Hey new guy, aren't you awesome? Why don't you do something useful?"
His companions were getting anxious because of being harassed, so they spoke to him in a unfriendly tone.
Xu Qingran just stood there motionless, ignoring their requests and showing no intention of offering to help.
As for the group of Type I demons that broke into the land, maybe they thought Xu Qingran alone was not attractive enough, so they only attacked the other guards. They were in a panic, just slashing with knives, not concentrating on finding the key source of energy.
But if you look closely at their counterattacks and defense, they at least have some basic skills.
Although he couldn't kill the target instantly, his reaction and dodging abilities barely met the basic standards of a trained soldier.
While Xu Qingran was observing them, a shadow swayed on the tree and came towards him silently.
He looked slightly to the side, and turned to avoid the slender creature that was rushing towards him. The creature missed and fell to the ground in the shape of a pancake, and soon gathered together and stood up into a strip as tall as a person, and continued to rush towards its target.
There was a faint glimmer in Xu Qingran's eyes, which was obviously driving his mental power.
The few people who were fighting with other Type I 'sub-bodies' took the time to glance at Xu Qingran's direction and found that he did not attack the whole time but just dodged. He kicked away the small Type I that came to his feet while panting and muttered: "Ah, that's all."
At least they tried.
Someone noticed the key point while watching: "Speaking of which, that one looks a bit like... the 'mother' of these three?"
I'm talking about the group of Type I that surrounded them.
In a large area, there can be many "mother bodies" of different sizes, which are the type I with the source crystal. Generally, they are the main ones, with less dark brown spots on their bodies, and they are easy to identify when placed together with the daughter bodies.
The specific extent of their combination depends on the strength of the source crystal in their bodies.
They are creatures with a strong sense of territory, so generally when the main body finds a small place, it will absorb energy, such as eating, to generate "sub-bodies" that exist like soldiers. Then, like mold, it will slowly expand the territory it occupies through rapid reproduction.
Some powerful sub-bodies have the probability of generating source crystals. Once they have source crystals, they can leave the group and go to a new place alone to develop their own field.
In the large park where they are now, there are several Type I mother bodies in control, and the one attacking Xu Qingran is one of them.
"It feels like the new recruits are detecting source crystals..."
Perhaps the sub-bodies sensed a threat from the main body, so they temporarily stopped attacking the group of "food" and returned to the main body to provide assistance.
Finally, they had some spare time to catch their breath and talk.
The captain of Area 8 shook his head: "As expected, he is a new recruit with high aspirations."
"Class I is a mid-to-high-level alien race. At least a double S-level level is required to perform source crystal detection. Moreover, source crystal detection is something that requires talent. Even if he really has a double S level, it will generally take at least half an hour for a Class I of this size to screen and lock the location!"
How many people in the entire imperial military have a truly high talent for source crystal detection
How much talent could a new recruit who was sent to a backward galaxy like Tianlong and was not valued have
In Taiyue Nanzhou, which rarely has the opportunity to connect with other prosperous star systems, almost no one knows what Xu Qingran did in Grantis College. Most people only analyze his ability limit based on their first impression of him and the normal situation of new recruits.
The people in the Area 8 team had long been dissatisfied with this new recruit who seemed particularly pretentious, so when they saw all the sub-bodies rushing towards him, they did not immediately go to help. They just wanted to see how he, who was so good at cleaning, would perform.
—Anyway, they are close, so if the recruits can’t hold on, they will definitely be able to rescue them in time.
With these thoughts in mind, they subconsciously felt a little nervous for Xu Qingran while watching the scene.
Xu Qingran seemed unaware, his eyes still shone with a faint spiritual light, his attention was all on the mother I fighting with him. The thick reddish-brown body brushed against his face slightly, and the aftermath of the wind lightly lifted the hair on his forehead.
After another flash of light flashed across his eyes, it was suddenly replaced by a smile.
"Found it." He murmured softly.
The light sound was dispersed in the wind.
Just as those sub-bodies came to Xu Qingran and flew towards him, he raised the hand holding the knife and stabbed directly at a certain point on the tail of the Type I devil figure that flew past him before it fell completely.
That group of Class I seemed to have been pinched at their vital points, and their bodies, which had been tightly fitted together, instantly broke into countless small pieces and fell all over the ground.
And those offspring that had already leaped into the air, after losing the source of energy provided by the mother body, also exploded and turned into lifeless scales that fell to the ground.
Xu Qingran retracted the dagger with quick movements.
Looking at the group of 'veterans' who came with him, their expressions had already changed from suspicion and contempt to stunned disbelief.
He raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. Isn't it better to get rid of the mother body?"
Guards: “…”
Don’t they want to?!
No, they can't do it!
Everyone knows that as long as the mother body of Type I devil is eliminated, the rest of the derived bodies will soon follow suit and die.
But they are the most difficult type of source crystal to lock in among the devils. The more they are embedded, the higher the difficulty coefficient. Not to mention that the position of its source crystal will change in real time, so most of the guards can only clean up the sub-body.
The way they pull is that if the data predicts that the mother body in the area can generate 100 daughter bodies a day, then the number of cleanings they do every day will try to keep it at this average. If the situation is good, they can clean more.
They don’t know about other galaxies where masters are stationed, but in a place like Taiyue Nanzhou, it is already very good to be able to clear out a few mother bodies in a year or two!
Xu Qingran finished one in just a few minutes. What does that mean
He is a person who can be compared with the spiritual power masters of the same talent level as Shen Tingyu and Su Wenming! Is the Silver Dragon Camp willing to release such a talent to the Tianlong system
They were unwilling to believe it, thinking that it might be a coincidence to see it only once, so they followed Xu Qingran deeper into the cave, watching him ignore those sub-bodies of type I and go straight to the mother body.
As their sizes and source crystal energies were similar, he could basically kill one within five minutes.
Solve it at once and kill a large area.
This time, the people from Zone 8 finally believed it.
I was convinced and tears welled up in my eyes. Is this really what Nanzhou deserves? !
The people of Taiyue once expected that the leaders they were sent would not only have high official titles but also high abilities.
But they are all lazy and good at nothing, which makes them particularly disgusted with the high-ranking officials sent from other star systems. Because it is clear that the people sent by the Silver Dragon are just for coping and can't do anything substantial. The reinforcements are just a group of eliminated people.
As the first galaxy to fall, Tianlong gradually failed to keep up with the development of other galaxies during the hundred years of renewal.
There were basically no entertainment activities or live webcasts. This also meant that the current plight of Tianlong could not be conveyed to the prosperous star systems, and their dissatisfaction would not be discovered by the public at all.
Before daybreak, Xu Qingran had already cleared a large area.
In the end, those Type I demons who realized that something was wrong slipped away before he stepped into the territory he had set up.
The expressions of the teammates were dull.
When the captain spoke again, he changed his address: "Big... Big Brother, did you go to the wrong place when you reported?"
Xu Qingran responded to this silly question very cooperatively: "Probably not."
Everyone was stunned.
They shouted in their hearts—Which good person sent them these divine reinforcements!
At this moment, this 'good guy' was being scolded in the Silver Dragon Commander's office.
"Mu Ziyu, are you mentally ill?!"
"Or has the brain matter in your head been replaced with paste? Didn't you fucking watch Xu Qingran's military academy graduation exercise? He has top-notch source crystal perception talent, which can only be found in a few people in the entire empire!"
"The major disaster-stricken areas on the Silver Dragon front are in great need of people like him who can help identify the largest Type I demons in the area."
"Ambergris, Pegasus, and Swan, which of these three galaxies doesn't need a commander like Xu Qingran? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for him by placing him in a chaotic place like Tianlong?"
Wang Jian stood in front of Mu Ziyu's desk, scolding him so much that his neck and face turned red with anger.
Mu Ziyu pursed his lips and frowned, "What Adjutant Wang said is not right."
"Tianlong is also a disaster area. Since you said Xu Qingran is a rare talent, shouldn't we send him there?"
Wang Jian was so angry that he couldn't speak.
It is true that Tianlong, as the worst-hit area, does need a smart and capable leader. But in recent years, the Silver Dragon Battalion has obviously not paid as much attention to Tianlong as other star systems. Resources are sent to Tianlong only when there are sufficient resources in other star systems.
They also took advantage of the fact that the rebels could not leave the place easily, and dealt perfunctorily with their demands and attitudes.
It's not unknown how difficult it is to deal with the army in Tianlong, especially in Nanzhou. The troops in each city are divided, doing their own thing, and don't obey orders at all. Without resources and personnel support, Xu Qingran alone, no matter how powerful he is, will find it difficult to achieve success.
If you don’t make achievements, it will affect your merits and subsequent promotions.
By then, Mu Ziyu would have reasons and excuses to suppress Xu Qingran and prevent him from climbing up, and he might end up rotting in Tianlong for the rest of his life.
"You know what I mean." Wang Jian thought for a long time before he calmed down a little. "Tianlong is a big problem now. In order to protect the defense line of the empire and other safe star systems, the places I just mentioned are where the Silver Dragon is now concentrating its control and trying to completely drive out the demons."
The impact of these disaster areas is not as great as that of Tianlong, so the difficulty coefficient of handling is relatively low, including the transportation cost of materials. Therefore, Yinlong's current plan is to stabilize these three disaster areas and completely expel the demon group before focusing on cleaning up the mess in Tianlong.
Therefore, the elite forces were concentrated and dispatched to these three galaxies.
Including the top leaders of Silver Dragon, they all hope that those outstanding military personnel can be assigned to these places to speed up the progress of their plans.
Wang Jian looked at Mu Ziyu with great disappointment: "You are already in your thirties, and you have been the commander-in-chief of the camp for so many years, but you still can't distinguish the importance of things. You messed up the national affairs because of personal grudges and emotions!"
"Mu Ziyu, you really don't deserve to be the commander-in-chief of this camp, let alone the future emperor of Kaian."
It was the first time that Wang Jian spoke such harsh words to Mu Ziyu in front of him.
Mu Ziyu was very concerned about his reputation, and because he had been compared with other outstanding brothers and sisters since he was a child, he always felt inferior. Wang Jian's straightforward words pierced his heart like a thorn, and he was so angry that he asked loudly: "Adjutant Wang, do you really think I dare not remove you from your position?!"
His eyes were staring red and his fists on the table were clenched tightly.
Wang Jian had been in a bad mood recently. Seeing that Mu Ziyu was still so childish, he was very disappointed and said to him expressionlessly, "You don't need to arrange anything. I can resign from my position as adjutant right now. Anyway, I don't want to be in this position for another day."
"Oh yes, I came here today mainly to inform you of another thing."
"After Xu Qingran graduated, you should know how many people in the military wanted him to come over and help. Many veterans under Silver Dragon are disappointed with your impulsive behavior this time. They have decided to resign and give up the Silver Dragon Camp."
Mu Ziyu didn't say anything, but he clenched his fists even tighter, and his pupils trembled slightly.
"The resignation procedures are already underway, right? The resignation letter should be in your hands in a few days."
"I'll submit mine as soon as possible."
Mu Ziyu finally couldn't help it, and stood up angrily, slammed the table and asked angrily: "Xu Qingran is Xu Qingran again, isn't he just Xu Qingran?!"
"In a Silver Dragon Camp as big as mine, isn't there anyone else who can compare to him?! The one with the surname Lu, the one with the surname Pei, the one with the surname Ji... Aren't they the rising stars you praised in the beginning?"
"Why does it have to be Xu Qingran? Are you protesting to me like this just for him?"
Perhaps after accumulating too much disappointment, you will become calm when facing everything.
Wang Jian was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "You still don't understand."
"Everyone is disappointed not because you didn't take good care of Xu Qingran, but because of your attitude."
They are all veterans who have served Yinlong for many years. No matter how important Xu Qingran is, it is impossible for him to turn against Yinlong because of him.
Xu Qingran was just an opportunity for everyone to finally realize that it was difficult to change the status quo and feel very powerless. More people were disappointed with Mu Ziyu, a useless commander.
After Wang Jian finished speaking, he saluted Mu Ziyu with a serious expression before leaving his office.
Mu Ziyu was left alone in the office, banging his head on the table and getting angry.
After seeing Xu Qingran’s choice in the live broadcast of the graduation ceremony that day, his aunt Mu Ningluo called him.
Mu Ningluo had always held a grudge against Xu Qingran because of Feng Wei. Now that he had sent himself to Silver Dragon, he wanted Mu Ziyu to punish him and arrange for him to go to the place with the worst treatment and conditions.
So I thought of Nanzhou on the Tianlong Taiyue star.
Mu Ziyu's eyes were red and he slammed the table hard again.
If he doesn't consider his family's feelings, he will be called heartless. If he considers them a little more, he will be called indiscriminate. So what should he do to be right?!
·
"Ah? Why did Brother Ma and the others suddenly change their minds and want to attend the colonel's welcome ceremony?"
It's a new day.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, most people in the lounge were awake and chatting noisily.
Someone boiled some hot water and was soaking instant noodles. "It seems that someone in the barracks came up with a bad idea. They said that instead of embarrassing the new colonel by not being present, it would be better to just give him a big lesson that day and teach him a lesson. Let him know that we South Continent people are not easy to mess with."
"You know, everyone likes to make trouble the most. They will definitely not miss such excitement!"
"I heard that the big brothers in each district have already started planning how to embarrass the colonel. It's a pity that soldiers like us can't attend the welcome ceremony."
"It's okay, I have a phone number, you can call a friend of mine and ask!"
Everyone in the room was laughing.
Someone else mentioned something that happened a few days ago: "You're right, I heard there's a veteran recruit among our new recruits. He burned down the colonel's office building on the first day of reporting!"
"Such a great man is a perfect match for us in Nanzhou!"
Xu Qingran was still as unsociable as ever. He did not join in their conversation and sat alone in a deserted rest stop outside.
District 8 and the adjacent District 9 were both severely affected.
So even though the train passes by during the day, except for people like them who come to work, basically no one gets off at the station.
Xu Qingran dialed the communicator.
The call was quickly picked up, and a deep, smiling voice came through the communicator: "You finally remembered to call me?"
Xu Qingran moved his body, crossed his right leg over his left leg, squinted his eyes and said, "Your partner is someone who wants to do big things. He is busy every day, so you need to be more understanding."
"Okay, boyfriend." Shen Tingyu chuckled on the other side, "Are you happy recently?"
"It seems that Nanzhou is not as bad as Xie Nanjun thought."
"It's pretty bad." Xu Qingran said bluntly, "With your strict attitude towards training, if you come here-"
"By the time you finish your training, there may be less than half of the people in the military zone still alive."
Shen Tingyu laughed again.
Xu Qingran said: "However, I think this kind of place where you don't need to consider the rules when doing anything is quite suitable for me."
"I want to thank Mu Ziyu for sending me to such a fun place."
"I know." The low and gentle voice of the person opposite made his ears itch slightly.
"I felt from the beginning that Tianlong Club would be the best place for you."
Xu Qingran raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
"Because you are an ambitious person."
The time in Feixing Jinwu City is now night.
Since Xu Qingran was not around, Shen Tingyu simply lived in the headquarters office.
He leaned back in his big, comfortable chair, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
After saying the previous sentence, he added: "It's just that I feel that no matter when and where you are, or what identity you live in, you are not a person who is willing to be ordinary and waste your life."
Xu Qingran knew that he was capable, so he dared to challenge everything.
For him, failure is failure, which is better than not trying at all.
That's why Shen Tingyu thought that Xu Qingran would be more willing to choose the crumbling Silver Dragon than the Golden Wing, a stable and unchallenged camp. Either he would be the one to change the situation and prop it up again, or even if he couldn't prop it up, he would be the one to knock it down completely.
This is also something that Shen Tingyu particularly likes. Looking at Xu Qingran, he feels that Xu Qingran has done everything for him that he wanted to do but couldn't do.
"Shen Tingyu." The person on the other end of the line had the same clear and energetic voice as always.
Xu Qingran said to him: "Do you know what I like most about you?"
"It feels like you live in my head and you always know what I'm thinking. Whether it's right or wrong, you can recognize and accept it."
"He is the most compatible person I have ever met." When Xu Qingran said this, his eyes were curved with a smile and there was a sincere smile in his eyes.
At the rest stop at the South City District 8-9 checkpoint, the train slowly pulled into the station.
Not surprisingly, no one got off the car, and it honked and slowly left. When the noisy sound faded away, Shen Tingyu's voice came from the other end of the communicator: "So how can it be 0%?"
Xu Qingran couldn't help laughing.
I thought to myself, this person really cares about that data.
He thought about it and said, "Perhaps, being in tune does not mean being compatible."
"It's like a true fit, a lock and a key that can unlock it."
"And the two of us are more like two pieces of metal with very similar materials, both of which are suitable for being polished into very strong locks."
After saying this, Shen Tingyu fell silent.
Xu Qingran said to him again: "Why are you panicking? There are so many keys out there, so I'll just have to use your lock, right?"
Shen Tingyu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "When will you like me more?"
Xu Qingran looked at his spirit pool level which had not continued to grow, and laughed: "It depends on when you can accomplish this."
Shen Tingyu paused.
I thought, does Xu Qingran mean that I don’t like him enough
His current hobbies have indeed been very restrained.
If he indulged himself too much, he was worried that Xu Qingran, who had just come into contact with these things, might not be able to accept it, especially since his liking for him was still gradually growing. Moreover, even if Xu Qingran said so, the 0% fit was still like a thorn in his throat.
It also stood in his heart, becoming a hurdle that was difficult to overcome.
It’s not because the data is dissatisfied.
It's mainly two souls with less than 10% compatibility. If you want to combine more deeply in the future -
The process of that kind of thing cannot help but release mental power, but the degree of compatibility is too low, which may cause damage to the mental pool of the recipient.
He did not tell Xu Qingran about this worry, but only said to him: "Then I have done a good deed, so I have to leave my name to gain some favor in your heart."
Xu Qingran asked him: "Why? What did you do behind my back?"
Shen Tingyu said: "Don't you think that your journey from Tianshe to Tianlong was particularly smooth?"
"Especially after you severely offended Mu Ziyue."
Xu Qingran was also quite smart and immediately understood what he meant: "You mean, Mu Ziyue tried to send someone to mess with me?"
Shen Tingyu said that there had been no interruption before Xu Qingran entered the territory of the Tianlong Galaxy.
But all those troublesome flies were intercepted by him.
Xu Qingran was silent for a while, then asked him, "You are under the jurisdiction of Jin Yi, aren't you afraid that Mu Ziyue will cause trouble for you?"
As a result, Shen Tingyu smiled and said, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't dare to choose to enter the Golden Wing Camp after coming out of the Evil Tower."
Xu Qingran thought, that’s right.
Moreover, with Shen Tingyu's ability, Mu Ziyue is at best a 3S-level personnel, and he will definitely not be able to defeat him in a single fight. Now is the important stage of the fight between Jin Yi and Yin Long. Before the throne is stabilized, Mu Ziyue should not do anything to him.
"Thank you for your hard work, boyfriend." Xu Qingran imitated him and deliberately emphasized the address.
This sentence seemed to have a certain soothing effect, and there was a hint of joy in Shen Tingyu's low laughter.
The two chatted for a while until Xu Qingran heard the sound of someone entering Shen Tingyu's office. Knowing that he had to be busy again, he hung up the phone.
He had just finished chatting with Shen Tingyu when the captain of their District 8 walked over.
The other party glanced at him and said, "Xin... little brother, you are quite rich. You can even afford a communicator."
A communicator is different from a mobile phone.
The limit of what a mobile phone can do in this world is to communicate within the same galaxy. However, a communicator can communicate across galaxies, and even across countries with certain special devices - that is, to communicate with galaxies outside the Kaian Empire and other empire alliances in the Grail Galaxy Cluster.
Due to the special nature of the materials and lines, and the extremely expensive maintenance costs, the price of the communicator is not cheap.
At least for people from the Tianlong system, it is very expensive.
Faced with such comments, Xu Qingran began to deceive seriously again: "No."
“This was passed down from my great-grandfather’s great-grandfather.”
Captain of Area 8: “… ?”
After Xu Qingran finished speaking, he glanced at the sky, stood up and asked, "Is everyone awake?"
The captain was confused: "He woke up early and was full."
Xu Qingran smiled: "Very good."
"Then let's start practicing."
The captain looked confused: "?"
What to practice
Xu Qingran said that he disliked their poor physical strength and insufficient endurance, which resulted in them always looking very messy at the end of the cleaning work.
So we decided to start by building up their physical strength.
After hearing this, the guards in the lounge all laughed out loud.
The more experienced one said directly: "Little brother, you are so funny."
"Why do you think we sent helpers like you to our district? Now that you guys are here, of course you are responsible for the cleanup operation!"
The speaker's laughter became more rampant: "Besides, you are so awesome, it will be easier for us in the future! Maybe Aqiang and the others can take turns to rest. It seems that you can easily complete the daily workload by yourself!"
Xu Qingran watched them laugh coldly, and waited until they had laughed enough before asking, "Are you done laughing?"
"After laughing, it's time to go practice."
The smiles on the faces of the people in the lounge gradually faded.
After realizing that Xu Qingran seemed to be making a serious proposal, the captain walked up to him and said to him fiercely, "New recruit, don't get carried away just because you have a few abilities."
His tone was also vicious: "Don't forget your identity. In Districts 8 and 9, I am the captain."
"Now, as the captain, I order you to replace the cleanup operation in Area 9 tonight and you will be solely responsible for it."
Xu Qingran glanced at him, and the next second he raised his hand and punched him in the face.
Then he said coldly: "I thought that you in Nanzhou didn't care about things like orders between superiors and subordinates?"
He didn't listen to the colonel, and instead used his status and qualifications to suppress others when he came to a small place.
really interesting.
The captain didn't expect that he would start hitting people just because of a disagreement. He was stunned for a moment, then started punching back in anger.
In the end, he was the one who started panting because he had used up too much energy in the first place.
Xu Qingran said in a gentle voice: "See, you didn't maintain your physical strength well. You even panted like a dog during a fight."
The captain was immediately furious and shouted to everyone in the lounge: "Hey, are you guys just watching the show? Come and help me!"
Everyone then came to their senses and stepped forward to beat up Xu Qingran, who was ignorant of the world.
Of course, the final outcome was the same as that of the people in Districts 6-7.
Their captain, who cursed the most, was beaten black and blue, and fell to the ground unconscious. Xu Qingran didn't even let him go. He walked to his side and kicked him in the chest again.
I didn't kick the man to death, but it will probably take a long time for him to recover.
After doing this, he glanced coldly at the other people who were also injured: "You should know that Nanzhou is almost a lawless place, right?"
No matter what happens.
No matter death.
Regardless of the offender.
"Just like you are not afraid of death, I am not afraid of accidentally killing you."
"I'll give you two choices now. Do you want me to listen to you or do you want me to help you end your life early?"
Without a doubt, everyone chose the former.
Even though they shouldn't be afraid of death, they still value their lives.
So, before the sun went down, Xu Qingran called about ten people to the open space in Area 9 to conduct various exercises.
After it got dark, they were given a half-hour break before being forced to go deep into Area 9 to start the cleanup. And Xu Qingran really did what he said, watching coldly from the sidelines the whole time, without offering any help or instructions.
Only when they were really about to be unable to hold on, and some of them were even entangled and bitten by the Type I devils, did he take action to eliminate all the Type I devils in that area.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, and everyone was so tired that they either lay down or on their backs on the ground, catching their breath and resting.
Pale face and sweating profusely.
Looking at Xu Qingran again, he didn't even break a sweat after cleaning a circle.
Even the clothes were still neat and wrinkle-free.
They couldn't help thinking—
Who is the new recruit? How come he is their instructor
Xu Qingran came over, still wearing the monster mask with sharp teeth and grinning mouth. They could only see his eyes.
Then I heard him ask: "Is this cowardly state what you want?"
Everyone fell to the ground, gasping for breath, without saying a word.
He looked at one of them and said, "If I remember correctly, you said your family is in District 12, which is next to District 8?"
Then another one, lying still, asked: "Is your lover there too?"
Then he checked a few people. Except for those who were transferred from other galaxies, all the other natives were checked by him.
Everyone was shocked that he remembered everything they mentioned in casual conversations!
After ordering, he said, "They are counting on you guys to defend the front line, but if even you guys start to move, who else can they rely on?"
When Xu Qingran came that day, the flat-headed man who was playing cards and eating peanuts there was one of the guards from other galaxies.
What he talked about most was complaining about his lack of success in life. He felt that he was looked down upon in various ways. He worked so hard to fight for Silver Dragon on the battlefield, but was thrown into a place like this.
Xu Qingran looked down at him and said calmly, "I don't know whether others look down on you or not."
"But look at the way you are now. Aren't you the one who let others look down on you first?"
Everyone on the field was criticized by Xu Qingran in a sharp and straightforward manner.
Finally, a soul-searching question was asked: "Do you remember why you put on this uniform?"
Silence everyone.
Some of the more sentimental ones even started to have red eyes and looked unwilling.
The guards of Shangnanzhou initially chose to act recklessly and disobey orders, mainly in order to express their dissatisfaction to the military high-ranking officials and Silver Dragon.
But the most frightening thing is that this was originally used to resist, but in the end it became a real mess.
"If you really don't want to wear it, you can take it off. The South Continent Army won't make much difference if you're not there."
Xu Qingran's voice was as cold and clear as the moon in the sky.
As he spoke, he suddenly grasped his spiritual knife, and his eyes seemed to glow a cold and bloody red in the dark night. He stared at them and said, "Of course, the army of Nanzhou does not need useless people. If you don't want to do this, tell me and I will send you to paradise to enjoy yourself."
Everyone was frightened and without resting, they immediately got up and prepared for battle.
At first I didn't realize how a small soldier like him could say such words.
Xu Qingran did not ask them to continue practicing with the Type I devil. He turned around and left without saying anything.
Only their cold backs are left.
They didn't dare stay in the dangerous Area 9 for too long before dawn, so they could only quickly catch up with Xu Qingran, the only person who could give them enough sense of security, and follow him like little chickens who had done something wrong.
When they looked at each other, they could see the guilt and remorse in each other's eyes.
Indeed... it shouldn't be like this.
They just don't want to accept it. Why should they be looked down upon and laughed at just because they are a little poorer than others or have less natural talents than others
But looking back at the past, they have not made any effort to change this.
·
I don’t know if Xu Qingran’s words that night had some effect, or if the murderous aura around him was just too strong.
Anyway, after that day, the guards at the 8-9 area checkpoint became much more obedient. They stopped yelling and complaining every day, and when Xu Qingran called them out for practice, they didn't dare to show reluctance, and they cooperated very well. After two days, when it was time to clean up at night, Xu Qingran finally stopped letting them fight with the devils blindly, and occasionally gave them some instructions.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day for the welcome ceremony for the new colonel in Dongcheng.
In order not to affect work, the welcome ceremony was held during the day.
Unlike the leaders of various cities who had agreed to be absent, the East City camp was rarely full of people today.
Except for the North City, people from other districts have basically come.
They discussed their plans among themselves, and some even brought props, such as pebbles or moldy and rotten food, to throw them on the new colonel's face when he gave a speech. Some also dressed up in strange shapes, preparing to deliberately cause trouble.
Anyway, we have everything we need, and we just hope people will come quickly so they can mess things up.
The venue for the welcome ceremony has never been so crowded.
Adjutant Mao was surprised, but at the same time he was worried about how to deal with it if Colonel Xu came.
As a result, a large group of people had been waiting for more than two hours beyond the scheduled time for the ceremony, but still hadn't seen their new colonel come out.
The people in the front row began to scold Adjutant Mao impatiently: "What's going on?"
"No matter how slow it was before, there was no one who acted like this, right? Did you really agree on a time with him?!"
The adjutant felt aggrieved after being scolded.
I did say it, and I confirmed it with Xu Qingran several times!
But he could only maintain his expression and said, "I'll make a phone call to ask about the situation."
At this time, Xu Qingran, who was supposed to be in the East City Camp, was on the train to South City District 6-7.
He came to the familiar rest stop and opened the door of the rest room as if he was back home.
As a result, when the door opened, I saw Sun Hongbing and others eating hot pot around the table.
The main ingredient of hot pot is the familiar tentacle meat.
Xu Qingran raised his eyebrows slightly.
Oh no
"Cough cough cough..." Sun Hongbing was frightened by Xu Qingran's sudden appearance.
At the same time, I felt extremely ashamed.
Xu Qingran at the door said nothing, but just smiled with his eyes curved.
But it seemed like he had said everything.
—Before Xu Qingran left, he was still angrily accusing him of killing and eating Ma Biao's little pet, but now they were stealing it.
There’s no way, who can resist free seafood!
Before Xu Qingran could talk to them, his cell phone rang.
He glanced at the caller's name and walked to an empty corner of the rest stop before answering the call.
Adjutant Mao asked him cautiously: "Hello, Colonel, where are you? I hope you haven't forgotten today's welcome ceremony."
Xu Qingran smiled and said casually: "Ah, I didn't forget."
This is the East City Military Headquarters.
The scene of the induction ceremony.
Everyone watched as Adjutant Mao left the scene, made a phone call, and then returned with a dazed look in his eyes.
After a long time, he picked up the megaphone and said, "… Sorry for the long wait."
"The new colonel said he suddenly felt a little lazy and didn't want to attend such a meaningless occasion."
"I'd like him to thank everyone who came to congratulate him."
Adjutant Mao didn't know what mood he was in when he helped Xu Qingran convey these words.
Anyway, when he finished the phone call just now, everyone was stunned.
So this was his idea!
It took the crowd below a minute to react.
Were they stood up by the new colonel
His expression instantly turned into disbelief.
—After waiting for several hours, it was cancelled?!
