The defender of Achilles of the Cube Fortress and the major general of the empire headquarters, Abu Zhai.
A level 100 sword spirit warrior with a bald head, likes to wear simple gray clothes, believes in Buddhism, loves to play with cats, and is a soldier with an overly gentle temperament.
If it weren't for the empire's tolerant policy, Abu Zhai would not be suitable to be a soldier.
Only when there was a meeting, he would put on a straight imperial silver military uniform, with only two measly medals on his chest.
He resisted not bringing the white cat into the conference room, which made him feel uncomfortable all over, and his hands kept rubbing on his legs.
The conference table is a long, low tea table.
The military officers, staff officers, information officers and press officers who participated in the meeting were all sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Abu Zhai drank tea and tried to remain as leisurely as possible, but in fact he was very anxious because he had no cat to play with.
"Regarding the matter of the ancestral black dragon, a relevant video leaked out on Darknet as early as a month ago. Countless powerful people on the Blizzard Route have already made news. Now everyone knows the reason why the higher-ups suppressed this news, right?"
The chief of staff also echoed:
"Many of Entertainment Weekly's practices have gone too far. They specifically changed the title of the magazine back then. Unexpectedly, they are still using stupid methods today. How can they win real people's hearts with such dirty tricks... Now we are asked to do so. Come wipe your ass.”
"Once the public opinion about the Black Dragon ferments, the Pangu Corridor will soon usher in the Age of Navigation, and the Zhaoxia Route will bear the brunt. Do we need to expand our armaments as soon as possible?"
"Since ancient times, the empire has relied on science and technology. We have no treasures. The mining areas mined in the Zhaoxia Route are mined by others who do not have the technology. The cost of attacking us is disproportionate to the benefits... We are not the landlords of the Pangu Corridor. It is the Uncrowned Country that needs to be nervous.”
"Mining is just a means of self-reliance for us. Our focus has always been one: to screen out the chosen ones who may threaten the empire in the future, interfere with their growth path, and either incorporate them or eliminate them."
"This black dragon is too powerful. Although it comes from the third-level alliance area of the empire, it has been tortured in the laboratory. I am afraid that it cannot be won back. However, it is too precious and cannot be killed directly. Forcibly capturing it may make us lost heavily."
"I have reported it to the headquarters. The headquarters' Silver Rose Mechanized Special Agent Army will be responsible for this matter. I hope the black dragon will not wander around the morning glow route for too long and head to the blizzard route as soon as possible. Our Chiqian temple is small and cannot withstand the trouble."
The political officer on the side shook his head repeatedly, feeling helpless.
"General, please be careful with your words and try your best to maintain the imperial military authority... I would rather apply to the Political Department for permission to bring the cat to the meeting."
Abu Zhai held back his joy and nodded calmly.
"Then please."
Political Officer:
"?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was strange, the chief of staff quickly called for a stack of huge photos.
In order to prevent infiltration by newly emerged hackers, the empire's emergency strategy meeting gave up the light screen display, and even bracelets were prohibited from being brought into the conference room.
"We can stand by and watch the Black Dragon matter, but this young man who broke into the Rising Stars list just one month after going to sea must attract our attention."
The chief of staff looked serious.
Abu Zhai picked up a huge photo of Lu Chen, with detailed information about each member of the Original Starry Adventure Group printed on it.
"A nineteen-year-old boy from the Blue Valley star system, with level 20 cultivation, a genius in spiritual weapons and piloting. He won the first place in the Haixia Port flight test during ship hijacking. He is the winner of the Empire Hero Medal and the Uncrowned Country Idealist Medal. …Aren’t there such talented young men from remote areas everywhere on the Pangu Route?”
"He is special. He exposed Entertainment Weekly's trick on Cylon. Afterwards, he escaped the pursuit of the Level 50 Justice Hunter and a Level 60 Imperial News Agent ship. He even invited the Adventurer Association Nanyuanzi's emergency response. Rescue, now he has become the star of the Misty Star Adventure, escaping the pursuit of the Pisces... What’s special about him is that his ability to escape is so strong, if he is really a supernova supported by the Adventurers Association, there is absolutely no need to escape."
"It's a bit of a coincidence that the hacking incident on the Adventurers Association News Network happened to start within an hour after the news about him was released... and the subsequent post released by the Guernica Beast Control Group was also about the original star dome. The adventure on the planet Cylon, even though the Guernica Beastmasters originally wanted to take credit.”
"You mean... he is a top hacker who can't even handle our engineers, and the culprit who made us disconnect from the Internet for a meeting here is a nineteen-year-old boy?"
"It is unlikely for an individual. We speculate that there is probably a whole team behind him, but it is still unclear where he stands and who he serves. This is why we need to follow up and observe."
"It's best to wait until he becomes stronger. Our imperial fleet also wants to save face."
"He also has two very special teammates."
"A Sirius named Ellie was a slave rescued from General Ardenferma, the seventh planet in the Rogel star system."
"Adenfema, is he the one who was dismissed from his post for participating in the slave trade?"
"Exactly."
"He hasn't been put in jail yet!"
"There are big names behind General Fermat, and this Sirian named Ellie may very well be the most special atavistic orc among his slaves, although there is no evidence yet."
"this……"
"Another female warrior named Gloria has a half-demon physique. It is said that she is also a disciple of Mrs. August."
"Mrs. August?"
Abu Zhai suddenly frowned.
"Another of her students made the empire suffer a lot... Where is Mrs. August now?"
"Open a clinic on the Bailu."
"When you left that place a hundred years ago, didn't you say you would go overseas to become an adventurer?"
"As an adventurer, she has retired. Now the Bailu is enjoying her old age, but she may also have started a new adventure. Because of her special status, we cannot monitor her unless she makes extraordinary moves."
"Her students did such earth-shattering things, but she, as a teacher, can actually spend her old age peacefully... How enviable!"
"General, you are less than a hundred years old. It is too early to enjoy your old age!"
As a level 100 powerhouse, Abu Zhai's life expectancy is a thousand years. At less than a hundred years old, he is still technically a child, but he is already thinking about retirement.
Faced with everyone's speechlessness, Abu Zhai put down the tea cup and said helplessly:
"Ahem, looking at it this way, the three people on this ship are problem children. We can no longer sit idly by and watch. We will send someone to observe them first. I will contact them personally when the time is right."
He used the word "personal" like "old man", as if doing so was worthy of the salary paid to him by the army.
Then, he subconsciously pinched his waist and said with emotion:
"General Heathcliff promised me that I could pet the cat and drink tea every day, so I came out again... At the moment, unlike General Heathcliff who was injured due to his personal habits, my waist was injured for the country. The situation on the Dawn Route is getting worse. Things are getting worse and worse, I don’t know how long my old waist can last?”
After asking the general to get more motivated, the political officer drank tea leisurely.
"A wonderful new generation is coming. The empire is just a backdrop. Isn't it fun to just watch the show?"
Abu Zhai lowered his head to look at Lu Chen's photo, his deep eyes darkening slightly.
"I'm afraid someone might want to graffiti on the background board."
…
Two and a half days later.
The Leonin is about to arrive in the Thousand Island Sea.
Under Gloria's control, the spacecraft could barely reach the Thousand Island Sea as scheduled.
In the past two days, Lu Chen used dozens of pills collected from the Niujiao to practice crazily in the spaceship.
As long as you can't die through cultivation, you can cultivate towards death... His cultivation does not require mental methods, and there are no routines, it is just forced cultivation!
Of course, a little blood from Gloria is also needed.
This time, he improved the blood-sucking method and added the power of resonance to the tip of his tongue to release Gloria's magic power as much as possible while easing Gloria's pain.
Her fingertips were numbed by Lu Chen's suction, but her body felt a strange feeling, which made her need to expend even greater strength to suppress the succubus' backlash.
She quickly refused blood!
It wasn't until Lu Chen agreed to use the black cat You Mo as a condition to persuade Mrs. August to cross out her debt that she put her middle finger on the tip of Lu Chen's tongue.
The index fingers of both hands have long been swollen.
After being sucked out of Lu Chen's blood, Gloria had a strange feeling of rising from the spot.
She touched Lu Chen's head and said with a doting look on her face:
"Now you know who is the Chosen Mother. My blood nourishes you like milk. You must honor me in the future!"
This suddenly reminded Lu Chen that in yesterday's reply email to Wang Qunyu, he said that he had two beautiful wives...
This generation is in chaos.
Fortunately, the chaos of seniority didn't just start today.
In my previous life, when I was in college, I had three sons in one dormitory!
He tugged Gloria's ponytail with his backhand.
"What are you talking about? Dad will always love you!"
This time, due to the generally higher level of the elixirs on the Ox Horn, the addition of the demonic blood drawn from the resonance practice, and the enhancement effect of the Shadowless Whale Pearl in the body on talent, Lu Chen's practice speed accelerated again!
In just two and a half days of intense training, Lu Chen's spiritual power level jumped from level 23 to level 29.
The pass is just around the corner!
Lu Chen was so excited that he ran to show off to Ai Li, who was immersed in reading a book, and touched her dog's head very gently.
She looks so cute and weak.
"Ai Li, I spent most of the past two days taking a bath and watching the news, and my cultivation level accidentally reached level 29. Although you have to read books and learn spells, you can't fall behind in your cultivation!"
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. The Captain is great!"
Ai Li smiled and then pushed the frame gently, her cute little face suddenly became serious.
"I took a marrow-cleansing pill before going to bed last night, and I reached level 30 in the morning!"
A mouthful of blood spilled out from the corner of Lu Chen's mouth...
This is caused by excessive practice.
It was also caused by instantaneous internal injuries.
Ai Li was so frightened that she quickly supported his body and asked nervously:
"Captain what's wrong with you?"
Lu Chen covered his mouth and quickly explained:
"It's nothing. Gloria drank too much blood and overflowed with blood. This is normal."
Then he secretly observed, and even used plug-ins to use his object recognition ability to identify Ai Li's cultivation.
I have really reached level 30...
impossible!
I can not accept!
Lu Chen's expression remained calm, but he was shouting in his heart.
Beside, Gloria almost burst out laughing.
Then, he suppressed his smile and patted Lu Chen on the back.
"You don't think that the cultivation talents of Sirius are the same as yours, do you? With Ellie's talents, she has been imprisoned in a soulless environment for a long time. Once she is freed, her cultivation should take off right where she is. If it weren't for taking care of you The emotions of this weakling captain will lead you to practice together in a synchronous competition. Her cultivation level may have surpassed mine... Of course, compared with my cultivation speed back then, Ai Li is still so far behind."
Lu Chen's brain buzzed and his face turned pale.
Ai Li quickly explained:
"Sister Gloria, that's not the case. I study and study every day to learn how to speed up my practice. My physique is also weak and I cannot swallow large amounts of pills like the captain. This is already my fastest practice speed."
Do you think I will still believe it... Lu Chen wants to cry but has no tears.
Finally, Lu Chen's pretentiousness was defeated. Gloria smiled proudly, then opened her collar and took out a black pill as big as a pea from the deep hole in her chest.
"This is a pill that can erase the memory of the past twelve hours. I can give it to you for free...it's better not to know some truths, so as not to damage your dignity as captain. Men always want to save face!"
Aren't you still mocking me...
However, is there a treasure chest inside your Naiko? Can anything be stuffed in it?
As for the pill, Lu Chen either wanted it or didn't want it, so he had no choice but to follow the example of Empire Entertainment Weekly and shift the focus of public opinion.
He suddenly stood up straight and asked Gloria with an expression that looked like he was interrogating a prisoner.
"Why do you have this medicine?"
Gloria continued to show off, holding a wine bottle in her hand, her eyes slightly gleaming, and she said proudly:
"How do I know? I only know that this thing is very powerful. I don't remember many things in my early years. For example, the fact that I was once very strong. Although the memory is gone, the kind of power that is above the stars. The mark of the strong is still there.”
Lu Chen snorted coldly and complained mercilessly:
"What the hell, you are hungover every day and you still need this thing to erase your memory? You have no memory at all. How can it erase something you don't have!"
Gloria thought her memory was okay and retorted:
"Your name is Lu Chen, right? You drink my blood, right?"
Lu Chen stretched out his finger with a smart expression on his face.
"Then let me test you. There is a bracelet in your chest. Do you still remember why you put it in in the first place?"
"ha?"
Gloria was stunned and said she hadn't seen the bracelet recently...
He reached into his snow-white, deep chest and looked for it. The bracelet was indeed inside!
Because her bracelet is made of flexible, skin-friendly material, a thin layer, and can deform, it is indeed easy to forget when placed in the chest.
The problem is that she usually only puts some elixirs in her chest and has no habit of putting bracelets in her chest.
Why is the bracelet inside?
Oops!
Completely forgot...
Lu Chen caught the handle!
No, she also has to shift the focus of public opinion.
Suddenly, his eyes looked faintly, looking Lu Chen up and down, his slightly narrowed eyes, as if he was looking at a pervert.
"You are the captain of a ship, but if you don't take risks while sailing the ship, and think about what is in a woman's breast every day, how dare you say that you are not a pervert?"
Lu Chen smiled and said:
"Whether I am a pervert or not is still open to debate, but it is certain that you have no brain!"
Even Aili beside her couldn't help laughing.
Gloria was defeated, her face turned red and she asked:
"Then why do you think it is?"
Of course Lu Chen wouldn't say anything because it involved his dark history.
Anyway, his goal has been achieved, no one remembers what happened just now.
"What's the use of saying it? If you turn around, you'll still forget it. You'd better go to the Bailu as early as possible and ask your August Lady to prescribe you some brain supplements like six monkey brains!"
After saying that, Lu Chen didn't give Gloria any chance to refute, and turned around to take a shower in the bathing cabin.
One day ago, he had contacted the Star Master of Thousand Island Sea via email.
He identified himself in the email and said he would arrive at the Thousand Island Sea tomorrow.
And will receive the idealist medal in the Thousand Island Sea!
You must know that it is difficult for an individual to win the idealist medal of an uncrowned country, and it is also difficult to meet such people.
Holding an award ceremony is also a small honor for Qiandaohai, or it is also a gimmick to attract tourists.
Humans are ritualistic animals.
This was Lu Chen's first award ceremony as an adult. The last time was as a good student in elementary school in his previous life.
He had to be clean and freshly dressed.
