After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

If Wang Zheng hadn't considered that if all these guys were drunk, the other brothers still on duty would be too exhausted, there probably wouldn't be just half a squadron lying on the ground in the end.

This unfair tabletop battle began when Wang Zheng finished his third case of baijiu. Some of the more astute individuals backed down and quietly retreated to the back, remaining silent.

However, there are always a few exceptions, such as the unknown leader who is currently holding Li Li and talking in his sleep while snoring.

"Drink, drink some more! Everyone, force him to drink! Make sure to force this kid to drink as much as possible, hahaha~"

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"

Wang Zheng glanced at Shan Changxu, who had rolled under the table and was unconscious with a flushed face, and curled his lip in disdain.

"With this level of skill, he dares to come out and try to drink? What a disgrace!"

To be fair, Shan Changxu's fighting power is not bad. He has drunk at least six bottles of liquor and hasn't vomited yet.

A 500ml bottle weighs at least six kilograms, and if you include the amount that Li Li secretly poured for him, it's even more.

If Wang Zheng hadn't cheated, it's hard to say whether he could have outdrunk these guys.

Although Wang Zheng's physique was far superior to theirs and his metabolism was faster, he wasn't stupid enough to need to conduct such an experiment.

His storage space is only less than one-tenth full of bottles and jars.

So we can only say that it's not that our army was ineffective, but that the enemy was too cunning!

Upon returning, Wang Zheng seized the opportunity to crush all the spiritual energy crystals he had absorbed in Yunnan and made them into containers.

Although he had considered giving it to the school and making it with other materials as Chu Tianxing had previously suggested, he later thought that this would make the sealing performance of the full spirit crystal better, and he didn't lack the blank crystals, so he gave up on the idea.

Wang Zheng looked at his comrades in the distance, who were pretending to drink with each other, and found it amusing. He didn't intend to cause them any more trouble, but simply moved a stool and sat down next to Old Gu.

"Old Gu, what's going on in Yunnan? Why are people here so suddenly? I didn't hear a thing!"

Gu Min replied with a smile:

"The fighting in Yunnan has come to an end. You and other soldiers who supported the battle in the defense of Yunnan have all received rewards from the local military region."

Aside from the commendation certificate and medal, all other rewards have been converted into contribution points. You can exchange them in Yunnan or in southern Beijing if you wish; simply use your new identification to check the exchange machine.

Hearing that the long-awaited reward had finally arrived, Wang Zheng was overjoyed.

Although the exact amount is still unknown, considering how many people I've saved, the reward must be substantial.

Wang Zheng then asked:

"Then regarding the distribution of spoils on the battlefield, especially those of the demon kings, and Principal Chu's injuries..."

Gu Min shook her head.

"The Demon King's corpse has been taken away by the Imperial Capital Headquarters. As for the other spoils of war, I guess you wouldn't be interested in them."

I reckon Yunnan won't be able to offer much help with Xiao Chu's injuries. Their own casualty situation isn't optimistic either; although not as severe, I've heard it will take a considerable amount of time for him to recover.

Wang Zheng sighed inwardly, thinking that in the end he would have to wait for someone from the capital to come.

He was also wondering to himself. Even if he didn't mention his and Chu Tianxing's contributions in Yunnan, the country couldn't possibly ignore the fact that he had transformed. Could it be that the grandmasters had helped him cover it up?

That's clearly impossible.

If he can't figure it out, he simply stops thinking about it and focuses on making plans for the present.

Wang Zheng planned to go find Commander Xu Zhihong later to ask about the status of the Bloodthirsty Golden Ants sent to Baoshan. If possible, he would like to get them back directly, even if it meant exchanging his newly earned contribution points.

As for the elemental scarab, I wonder if Yunnan has any ideas about it. We'll have to discuss these things properly later.

"Single-handedly strengthening in-depth exchanges between the Yunnan and Jiangnan Military Regions—that's truly impressive!"

Wang Zheng silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. As for Political Commissar Ma's private affairs, he didn't care at all.

Just kidding. In chaotic times, who has time to think about such romantic matters? Besides, even if I were to look for someone, I wouldn't choose a complete stranger.

There are countless people who idolize him, Young Master Wang; they'll have to wait in line.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng glanced at Fu Zhenzhen, who was sitting alone in the corner with a worried look on her face, and then continued to ask:

"What's the deal with Commander Fu's granddaughter? What's she doing in Jingnan? I beat up this young lady in Yunnan. Is she here to seek revenge?"

Professor Gu Min followed Wang Zheng's gaze and then sighed.

He also found Wang Zheng's cautious nature quite troublesome.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Not to mention that Fu Zhenfeng is an upright person and has been a friend of your principal for many years, even if it has nothing to do with you, you are in the military region, who would come looking for revenge against you?"

Don't worry about it. He came here to thank you, and most importantly, his grandfather was also injured.

He hasn't come to the military region yet because he's visiting your principal in a private capacity. I guess he's at Nanjing University right now.

Those two lads were both incredibly hot-tempered back in the day, and they're still the same now that they're older, sigh..."

At this point, the old man patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"If you can help, then help. It's not easy for anyone."

'Huh?! What can I do for you? So many therapists in Yunnan can't cure this, why do you need to come to me for help?'

Wang Zheng was well aware of the level of his own treatment. Although he was puzzled as to what Elder Gu wanted him to help with, he eventually nodded and agreed.

Seeing Wang Zheng nod in agreement, Old Master Gu also stood up and then waved his hand wearily.

Dang Liantao, who was waiting nearby, immediately came over to help him up.

"I'm getting old and can't stay still anymore. Besides, you sent me a Pepsi from another region. Now this old man has more and more things to do."

The chaos of the times is just beginning, and time waits for no one. I dare not stop for a moment, and I wish I could live a few more years…
