Gao Huating had been feeling dizzy for the past few days.
She followed the big shot named Wang Zheng from the military fortress back to her hometown, Fortress 76, and then began… witnessing a fantastical journey.
First, her agent, who had been left at the airport for days and almost starved to death, brought her an enlistment notice.
Gao Huating officially went from being a nursery teacher to a military artist in the army, and even received a real non-commissioned officer rank.
Her agent also excitedly informed her that she no longer had to hide underground and could openly use this identity to work, only occasionally having to go to the front lines to participate in some military gala performances.
Gao Huating was quite looking forward to this.
She could finally go on stage publicly!
However, when she went to report to her new work unit—Tai Shu's studio, not far from her original nursery—a door to a new world slowly opened a crack for her.
She leaned towards the crack in the door, looking inside.
The first thing she noticed was a legendary pervert…
Gao Huating noted all the people who appeared in the studio in her little notebook.
【Zheng Shiduo, a powerful esper, a middle-aged uncle with masochistic tendencies.】
Apart from his orientation, Captain Zheng was quite good, adept at enlivening the atmosphere, and liked to make fun of himself and accept ridicule from others, giving people a sense of 'Ah, as a human, the worst you can be is just like this,' a kind of inexplicable encouragement.
Gao Huating also found that Zheng Shiduo had extremely strong social skills.
Strangely, she usually didn't dare to communicate with middle-aged uncles, completely unsure if she could find a topic to talk about.
But as long as Gao Huating was doing her daily cleaning and Zheng Shiduo passed by her, seeing her dazed or bored, he would take the initiative to chat with her for a few words.
Gao Huating didn't feel any fear at all.
A perverted middle-aged uncle who could make people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze…
Just, very magical.
【Wu Man, a very powerful esper, a handsome young man with a legendary experience.】
Gao Huating didn't know if her observation was correct.
She always felt that Wu Man actually had two faces. The first face was the one everyone usually saw, good at talking and laughing, and would praise people in various ways. His temperament was always very peaceful.
But beneath this face were eyes that were sometimes melancholy, sometimes confused, and sometimes empty.
Gao Huating felt that Wu Man, in addition to his complex work (refining array foundations and storing talismans), seemed to be looking down at a book, but in reality, the melancholy he showed when he was just staring blankly at the book was Wu Man's true personality.
He was performing as a sunny and cheerful young man.
This kind of performance… Gao Huating didn't know if it was good or bad.
Because the young man's true side was also extremely gentle. His disguise was more like he didn't want others to worry about him.
Gao Huating heard Wu Man's story from Zheng Shiduo: a cloned young man living in a box, rescued by Wang Zheng, becoming a warrior to protect humanity at a young age, and killing the evil Beast Speaker who was the source of his genes… and so on.
'I have a chance to write a song for him!'
—Gao Huating's highest personal evaluation.
【Tai Shu, an academic big shot, chief expert in spirit energy weapons.】
From Zheng Shiduo, Gao Huating learned that Tai Shu was a new big shot who had risen rapidly in the human scientific community in the past decade.
The most amazing thing was that when Gao Huating saw these big figures in books and newspapers, she subconsciously thought that these capable scientists all had particularly bad tempers.
Unexpectedly, Tai Shu was particularly kind and amiable, had a super good temper, and often helped her with cleaning.
However, there was one thing about Tai Shu that made Gao Huating feel not so good.
Tai Shu was too… flattering to the core figure of the team, the true boss of the studio, who was also Gao Huating's current boss, Wang Zheng.
The way he called him 'Teacher Wang' made Gao Huating feel a little nauseous.
【Wan Xiaoqi, a cute and lovable new bestie.】
Wan Xiaoqi came back two days after Gao Huating started working, accompanying Commander Dai Ling to visit Wang Zheng.
It was also from Wan Xiaoqi that Gao Huating learned about the big shot Wang Zheng's relationship status—he was in love with Ling Tong, the leading figure of the new generation of semi-human mecha, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
【Ling Tong, that super cool big sister!】
Gao Huating had met Ling Tong and was left with an extremely deep impression, especially Ling Tong's capable temperament and powerful aura, which gave Gao Huating a sense of inexplicable admiration.
'A romance between big shots, a powerful existence that can be a source of inspiration for writing songs.'
【Ji Xiao and Ji Yale, reformed great villains.】
Gao Huating had only seen them twice. Gao Huating also heard their story from Zheng Shiduo.
An evil being named Xing Tian cultivated seven students in order to achieve his evil purposes. These seven students were seven demons, sent by Xing Tian to deal with the big shot Wang Zheng.
The big shot Wang Zheng only made a slight move, and these seven students either died or surrendered.
Ji Yale has a pregnant wife who is also a powerful esper; Ji Xiao has a magical ability that the big shot Wang Zheng calls earth遁 (earth escape), which is said to be able to pass through walls.
After hearing this news, Gao Huating felt a little uneasy every night before going to bed.
But it was also good that these two great villains were subdued by the big shot Wang Zheng. They even took the initiative to greet her.
【Zhou Zhengde, uh… the big shot Wang Zheng's best friend?】
In Gao Huating's eyes, this was an extremely talkative fortress official, said to be the only genetic heir of Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian, and usually quite courteous.
However, Gao Huating always felt that this guy liked to brag.
How could the big shot Wang Zheng's best friend be Zhou Zhengde?
That's definitely 【Treant Beta】!
Everyone else was praising the big shot Wang Zheng, but the only person the big shot Wang Zheng praised was 【Treant Beta】!
Even if Mr. Beta wasn't considered human, then the big shot Wang Zheng's best friend would definitely be Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian.
Zhou Zhengde and the big shot Wang Zheng were of different generations.
And…
【Shen Qionglin, a super scholar who only smiles at the big shot Wang Zheng, with a cold personality and arrogance in her bones.】
【Sha Man, a new bestie, a desert rose with an optimistic personality.】
In addition to this, Gao Huating had also come into contact with several very good people in the past few days, such as the 'dangerous party animal' Doctor Wei Na, and Zhou Zhengde's two followers, several uncles who were stationed in the studio and were engrossed in research every day.
Of course, the person Gao Huating observed the most and felt the most magical was still the only big shot here, the powerful esper whose words changed her fate.
【Wang Zheng, a big shot.】
In Gao Huating's little notebook, the description of Wang Zheng filled several pages, but she still couldn't figure out what kind of person this guy was.
His whole body was shining with mystery.
Everyone respectfully called him 'Teacher,' and Wu Man would respectfully call him 'Sir.'
His personality… was actually quite good.
As a big shot, he was approachable and not at all pretentious, and he would praise others when chatting, but sometimes he was a bit… nagging, not like a young person, repeatedly reminding people of one thing.
The big shot Wang Zheng usually appeared and disappeared unpredictably. He only showed up occasionally and left after a short time.
Peony was his loyal wingman, always following him.
Because Gao Huating was Wang Zheng's neighbor, she saw him more often. Sister Peony would also ask her what she wanted to eat every time she delivered food.
Anyway…
He was a big shot, an existence to be looked up to.
'If Black Storm encountered Wang Zheng, it shouldn't be inferior.'
'It is said that he is an esper in the military. I don't know if there will be a chance to see him later.'
Gao Huating looked forward to it in her heart.
At this time, in the corner of the studio.
She stopped daydreaming, looked at the time, picked up her weapon—a vacuum cleaner—and began to pretend to be busy again.
Not far away was Wu Man, earnestly carving array foundation restrictions.
The dust produced by Wu Man was quickly taken away by Gao Huating.
Outside the studio door, Taoist Wang wandered around for half a circle. Seeing Shen Qionglin coming on the road, he thought about it and took the initiative to meet her.
…
In the green fields, on a cement road with not much dust.
Wang Jixuan, who had changed into simple jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt, walked forward with his hands behind his back. Shen Qionglin was still dressed in a white coat, with comfortable trousers and a small shirt inside.
"How is the reaction of Spiritual Cultivator No. 4?"
"He hasn't given any reaction."
Shen Qionglin said softly:
"Today I successfully awakened him again and edited the images recorded by the X Armor to show him."
"Last time I tried to blackmail him with the Beast Speakers coming to attack, which made him a little wary… I can only say that he saw the pseudo-interstellar gate, and he also saw you defeat the pseudo-interstellar gate."
"As for the others, I really don't dare to talk nonsense."
Wang Jixuan smiled: "You actually failed to fool him last time."
The newest novels are first published on !
"It can't be said to be a failure," Shen Qionglin said simply, "He was really scared at the time, and he also sent out a distress signal, but I sensed the signal."
She pondered for a few seconds and deliberately asked: "Do you know what's in the direction the signal went?"
"Do I need to guess?"
"Add some fun to the conversation."
"Xing Tian's Snow Mountain Base," Wang Jixuan replied simply.
Shen Qionglin was obviously a little surprised: "How do you know?"
"Spiritual Cultivator No. 4 previously mentioned that there are other spiritual cultivators in the Spirit Energy Capital and the Snow Mountain Base."
Wang Jixuan said with a smile:
"Moreover, I saw Xing Tian possessing an infusion slate in Ji Xiao's memory. At first, I thought it was a replica of the Spirit Energy Capital."
"Later, I learned about the relationship between spiritual cultivators and spiritual slaves, and secretly investigated the spiritual energy in their bodies.
“The mottled aura seems mixed, but in reality, it contains different attributes. That's probably the unique imprint of each spiritual cultivator. I've discovered four types of these imprints. Ji Xiao, Ji Yale, and Ji Yale's wife, Ding Jiajia, have similar imprints.
“It's highly likely that there's also a spiritual cultivator at Snow Mountain Base, and their condition is far worse than the three in Lingneng Capital.
“According to our recent investigation, Xing Tian was previously on tense terms with the Six Elders and has been stationed in other locations, and they seem to have some… differences in political views?
“In Huo Rong's memory, I saw that Xing Tian was once a prized disciple of the Six Elders.”
Shen Qionglin slowly nodded: “It seems you really have a lot of information. Why didn't you share it with us before?”
“Because I didn't think it was necessary.”
Wang Jixuan looked at a nursery building in the distance and said calmly:
“My mindset actually has some problems. I'm not humble enough, and I haven't been able to integrate into this group.
“It's definitely better now than before.
“My personal experiences have determined these things. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, and in the future, I'll be more inclined to interact with the military through transactions and cooperation.”
“Then can I assume,” Shen Qionglin's voice became a bit more relaxed and teasing, “that you now see yourself as an alien?”
“Pretty much.”
Daoist Wang stretched lazily:
“You continue to study this fourth spiritual cultivator. Share any progress with me, and give me a shout if you need me to step in.
“I've already asked someone to investigate Xing Tian. Xing Tian wants to advance to SS-level, and he already knew that he had obtained an S-level material.
“On our side, the Buddha Hall Squad and the Pinnacle Maid Corps already have excellent combat capabilities. When the time is right, I'll take them to take down Xing Tian.”
Shen Qionglin hesitated slightly: “Can I not participate in this kind of battle? If you need me, I can help… I prefer to hide in the rear and do research.”
“It's good if you watch the house.”
Wang Jixuan smiled:
“With you at Fortress 76, I can go out with peace of mind, so I don't have to worry about coming back to find the house gone.”
Shen Qionglin's expression was slightly strange.
She once had the concept of a home, but later lost it.
“When will the Red Serpent be transported back?” she asked.
Wang Jixuan said: “I'm not too sure. The Commander-in-Chief is worried that the Red Serpent will attract attacks from Blade Beasts, so he has her stationed near the General Headquarters for the time being… Later, I'll have to go help her out. I'll wait until my injuries recover.”
“You're injured? Is it serious?”
“Do I look like something major is going on? I used some power that didn't belong to me, so there are some aftereffects.
“But thank you for your concern.”
Wang Jixuan sighed worriedly:
“More than that, I'm just wondering when I'll see Lingtong. She's being used as a donkey by the Commander-in-Chief. After the battle, she goes to meetings, symposiums, and gives speeches…”
Shen Qionglin shrugged: “That's how it is to be a hero. You have to maintain your influence and gradually establish your own prestige.”
“Alright, I kind of regret suggesting she participate in this project.”
Daoist Wang stretched lazily:
“I'm going to continue working on those stones. Do you want to come along? Let me show you what a real craftsman is.”
“Now that you mention it, it's hard for me to refuse. I'll also freeload a lunch from you.”
“Then I'll make you guys a Blade Beast barbecue stall for lunch.”
Shen Qionglin couldn't help but widen her eyes: “Blade Beast, meat, barbecue? These words are clearly so familiar, but combined, they're so foreign.”
Wang Jixuan deliberately played coy: “You'll know later when you try it.”
After discussing confidential matters, the two returned to the studio, chatting about spiritual cultivation, spirit energy, and Blade Beasts, and they got along very well.
However, if Shen Qionglin's team members saw this scene, they might be shocked and their eyes might pop out.
At the same time.
… …
D2 Combined War Zone, Snow Mountain Base.
Aunt Dragonfly drove the shuttle, quietly sneaking over from the underground Blade Beast passage left behind.
Wearing a smaller-sized tight-fitting combat suit and a pair of tactical goggles made of special material, she began the standard reconnaissance procedure.
Release miniature drones;
Release sensory insect eggs;
Release the humanoid probe Bristle Bear.
“Captain, do you need me to go deep into Snow Mountain?” Bristle Bear asked in a calm tone.
“Go deep my ass! That Xing Tian is an old schemer. You still use the tactics that Xing Tian developed to invade the fortress!”
Aunt Dragonfly muttered in annoyance:
“Can't you use your brain! All you know is to brute force your way in?
“What did we get the last time you brute forced your way in?
“Uh, there were indeed a lot of benefits, and even you, you rascal, have changed your ways, but that's because Wang Zheng has a good heart.
“We must avoid the areas where Xing Tian might be active. Your goal is to go to the supply point outside Snow Mountain Base, which is the town of several thousand people on the mountainside.
“This town is called Rainbow Town. It's where Xing Tian's men go to have fun. It looks like there are only a few thousand people, but there are actually secrets hidden underground. There's an underground city with tens of thousands of people.
“According to the information I got, there are casinos, brothels, cloning research institutes, and many human traffickers, who specialize in abducting some young boys and girls to satisfy the perverted fetishes of those bastards.
“You go in there to scout and gather information. Don't be reckless. If you get caught, self-destruct yourself. Don't fucking drag me down with you!”
“Okay,” Bristle Bear nodded in agreement, “I'll put on a self-destructing collar to ensure that I don't leave behind a piece of my brain.”
Aunt Dragonfly: … …
Is this guy's brain slow? He can't even understand sarcasm?
Just die outside.
