Chapter 89 Thunder

In the past two days, whenever Yang Heli had some free time, he would refresh the paper interface of the association's official website to see if Yu Cang's paper had been published.

"Why is it so slow?" Yang Heli scratched his head anxiously, "Is it because we don't have enough manpower... How about I call the army and ask some guys to help?"

It would be fine if you could help with the experiments.

Of course, he also knew that even if his people went, they would probably only make things more difficult.

However, I heard that in order to get close to Yu Cang, Hu Jingzhi even sent her precious granddaughter to the laboratory... To be honest, he also likes Yu Cang very much. He is young and promising, talented, and his character seems to be fine at the moment.

It’s a pity that his granddaughter is now in the border area and cannot be called back.

Thinking of this, Yang Heli shook his head, searched again with Yingcao as the keyword, and skillfully chose to sort by publication time.

I thought this time would be the same as before, but I didn’t expect that a new paper would appear as soon as the page was refreshed.

Yang Heli became a little more alert and quickly looked at the author.

One work, Yu Cang!

Great, the wait is finally over!

He quickly clicked on it, skipping over the pile of incomprehensible data and theories, and went directly to the results interface.

"Endless, Rebirth, Natural Selection... Great! Except for the drawing method of the Undead Warrior, everything else is complete."

Yang Heli leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

With this, the casualty rate of frontier soldiers will definitely be reduced significantly!

Thinking of this, he took out his personal terminal and made a call.

After waiting for a moment, a voice came out:

"Hey, Lao Yang, why did you think of calling me?"

Yang Heli smiled and said, "Old squad leader, how are you doing lately? I heard you're about to retire?"

"Lately... I've been doing pretty well, but I don't expect to retire anytime soon." The voice suddenly seemed annoyed. "I suspect this old man is deliberately targeting me, waiting for me to retire so soon to cause me all this trouble!"

"Huh? What happened again?"

"Don't mention it... Let's not talk about the distant past. Lately, the Ancestral Dragon Snow Mountain has been giving me a lot of worry... You've heard about it, too, right? The real dragon escaped from the deadly place... It really made me laugh."

"You're almost retired. Why don't you just let your subordinates take care of these things? Don't get ahead of me by doing everything yourself."

"Don't come on... What do you want from me today? If it's not something important, we can talk about it later."

"Of course it's an important matter." Yang Heli's expression became a little more serious. "Old squad leader, please go to the association's official website and read a paper first."

"Thesis? ...Okay, let me take a look first. Tell me the name."

"On the Ability Expansion and Application of the Yingcao Deck"

…

On the other end of the phone.

"It's about the Yingcao Trap..." Lei Wanqing clicked his tongue.

He probably knew why Yang Heli came.

Perhaps a junior had achieved a small success in this area and wanted to ask Yang Heli to submit it to the military to gild his reputation.

After all, the military is where the Yingcao set is used the most.

This wasn't a big deal; it was normal to support the younger generation. However, Lei Wanqing no longer had any expectations for this paper.

The Yingcao deck is so basic that I wonder how many card makers learned the Yingcao deck as their first deck. If there was any room for improvement, it would have been discovered long ago.

If the paper has no real value, at most he will help to get it into a few awards. He won't care whether it can make it to the end or not. He may even specifically remind the author not to win any award.

After all, the army is more pragmatic, and the winning items are really going to be used on the battlefield. He doesn't want to joke with the lives of the soldiers.

Thinking of this, he opened the paper and said:

"He Li... We've been friends for so many years, so I'll be frank. I can help you send this paper to a few more places, but I'm not responsible for the final result..."

Yang Heli was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lei Wanqing might have misunderstood.

However, he didn't rush to explain. Instead, he smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, I know. The safety of our soldiers must be the first priority. Please give it a review. If it doesn't work, we can just not use it."

Lei Wanqing nodded and casually flipped through the paper:

"That's fine... I'm not saying this, but even though I don't understand card making, I still have to say a few words. What's so good about this Yingcao set? Old Yang, go back and have a good word with this student. I have so many card-making masters under me, and none of them have come up with anything new in the Yingcao set. How can a student like him be better than those masters?"

"Well, old squad leader, you must have a lot of talented people under you. No one can compare to them." The corners of Yang Heli's mouth began to twitch.

"Hmph, of course." Lei Wanqing snorted complacently. "Just look at this article... The data is quite similar. It must have taken quite a while... In the end, with so much data, there must be one..."

Lei Wanqing slashed downwards.

"What's this [Endless]? After the summoned beast dies, it pulls two ordinary cards. What's the big deal...huh?" Lei Wanqing was stunned.

Wait, what effect?

Lei Wanqing swiped the interface back with some uncertainty.

Then there was silence.

Yang Heli's voice, stifling laughter, came from his personal terminal: "Alas, this ability isn't very effective. It needs the summoned beast to die before it can be activated... By the way, old squad leader, what achievements have your masters made? Could you please use your connections to introduce me, a junior, to learn from them..."

Lei Wanqing: “…”

He suddenly realized that this paper seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

He coughed.

"Well... this ability is quite good. Okay, it's very suitable for the Yingcao set. As for learning... well, I'll ask Master Gu later, and he'll tell you when he's free."

Only then did Lei Wanqing realize that Yang Heli had been teasing him before!

You're being sarcastic, aren't you? You've learned bad habits, kid!

However, this is just wishful thinking and makes you laugh at yourself.

"He Li, young people nowadays are creative, which is a good thing, but there are some problems. You still need to teach them more. For example, this young man, I think his attitude is a bit problematic."

"Oh? Old squad leader, please tell me in detail."

"Look, we've only written a quarter of the paper, and the results are already in. What about the rest? Young people should be more thoughtful. If you write so many empty words, it means this young person's mentality is not up to par.

"Look, there's nothing left to write, so I can only start posting data again... and then I came up with something called [Rebirth]. Isn't this water... huh?"

Lei Wanqing was stunned again.

Inside his personal terminal, Yang Heli could hardly contain his laughter.

"Right, right... cough cough, right, it's not very good. There's something wrong with the writing structure. It's too loose! Old squad leader, you're right. I'll talk to this young man later. He must correct his attitude!"

Lei Wanqing: "...Old Yang, you really want to laugh at me, don't you?"

"Ah? No way... Old squad leader, you can't slander good people... By the way, when is that Master Gu you mentioned free?"

“… Roll, roll, roll!” Lei Wanqing couldn’t hold it any longer.

Doesn't he know the capabilities of the card makers under him?

Apart from being good at maintaining and repairing soul cards, he doesn't think at all about other things!

Students who can come up with so many new things within the framework of Yingcao will probably be despised even if they are asked to help, let alone provide guidance!

etc……

Lei Wanqing's eyes fixed.

This progress bar...something seems a little off.

Is there anything else?

Lei Wanqing increased his scrolling speed, skipped a bunch of data that he couldn't understand at all, and came to the end.

"...【Natural Selection】? What a great ability!" Lei Wanqing slammed the table.

These effects are simply born for the army!

"Okay, Lao Yang, you did a good job,"

"Ah? Old squad leader, you don't have to give me face. If it really doesn't work, just don't use it..."

"Old Yang! You're still making fun of me. Okay, okay, okay, I was being arbitrary. Isn't it enough for me to apologize to you?"

"Hahaha." Yang Heli laughed heartily, a rare moment. "Old squad leader, I'm not asking you to take the back door this time. I'm here to remind you not to miss this opportunity."

"You kid... Speaking of which, which researcher is the author of this paper?"

"No, he's still just a student."

"Student?" Lei Wanqing became interested. He scrolled up and found the author column. "Yu Cang... Yu Cang!?"

"Why, do you know him?"

"Nonsense, how could I not recognize him? Isn't this the son of Ren Zhenguo's beloved student? I just ran to the snowy mountains for him two days ago!"

"From your tone, it seems like you don't like me."

"...That's not the case." Lei Wanqing was silent for a while, "It's just that this kid is now a fuse. If it is lit, then it will be Ren Zheng, the powder keg, that will explode..."

"How can this be exaggerated? Ren Zhenguo has been so dedicated over the years. He shouldn't be described as a powder keg..."

"You don't know, I'm in Zulong Snow Mountain..." After hesitating for a moment, Lei Wanqing still didn't speak, "Forget it, I won't tell you about these groundless rumors... As for this paper."

After a brief pause, he continued, "It just so happens that the bidding for this year's major military upgrade is about to begin. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely shine in the competition. Please talk to Yu Cang and ask his opinions. If he wins the bid, he may have to come to the site in person."

"Okay, no problem." Yang Heli agreed.

The Armament Overhaul is no ordinary small award. If you can stand out from it, it is equivalent to military merit!

Moreover, the bidding conditions for the major renovation are very high and are not open to the public. One must be introduced by someone to participate. Yang Heli couldn't do it on his own.

"Oh, right, Yu Cang also created an Undead Warrior with very simple summoning conditions. It's an epic card, and it almost has dominant power among level three and four Soul Card Masters. However, its ability might be a bit problematic..."

Listening to Yang Heli's introduction, Lei Wanqing nodded: "Indeed, this is a very good card, but it is not very suitable for the military."

In the army, the most important thing is to enforce discipline. If you have a soul card with its own consciousness, how can you fully exert its power but cannot be controlled?

However, he was a member of the Yingcao group after all, so Lei Wanqing thought about it and said, "Well, you keep an eye on this matter. If Yu Cang wants to sell the method of making an Undead Warrior, please contact me directly."

In Lei Wanqing's imagination, this kind of epic card would definitely not be published in a paper, and their military would have to take the initiative to contact them for cooperation.

This is normal. After all, epics require resonance, and words cannot accurately describe them. Moreover, because they are difficult to decipher, most card makers will keep an epic card secret after inventing it. Most of the epic card making methods found on the market were invented more than ten years ago.

"Okay, no problem... Oh, there's one more thing." Yang Heli paused for a moment, "Yu Cang also created a new summoning method called fusion."

"...Is this the summoning method I was thinking of?"

"Yes, and it is much superior to higher-level summons. It is predicted that it can save a lot of soul energy for the soul card master."

"Are today's young people so outrageous..." Lei Wanqing suddenly felt that he was really old.

"I've asked Yu Cang about this. He'll compile it into a paper later. You can pay attention to it then. This might be a revolution."

"Okay." Lei Wanqing nodded, and couldn't help but feel excited.

After chatting for a while, the two hung up the phone.

Lei Wanqing sat behind his desk, lost in thought.

"Yu Cang, Yu Cang..." Lei Wanqing kept muttering Yu Cang's name, but he remembered the two figures that flashed in the distant sky a few days ago when he approached the dragon burial pit.

"This is such a rotten thing, it's really..."

He suspected that the two figures were Yu Cang's parents!

But the real dragon retreated too quickly and he had no time to identify it carefully.

If the two of them survived, it would actually be a good thing, but appearing in that place... that's not necessarily the case.

Standing in the dragon burial pit, it is hard not to think too much.

Ren Zheng has been holding his breath for the past few years. If something unexpected happens in this place again, no one can predict what will happen.

Until now, he has not dared to tell Ren Zheng about this.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Commander." A soldier pushed the door open and entered. After saluting, he placed a letter in front of Lei Wanqing. "This is a letter from Principal Ren Zheng."

"Hmm?" Lei Wanqing opened the envelope, which contained a piece of paper and a compass-like object.

After reading what was written above, Lei Wanqing suddenly fell silent.

He didn't even dare to tell Ren Zheng about his guess...but he didn't expect that it would be confirmed by Ren Zheng himself!

"I underestimated you, Ren Zheng." Lei Wanqing frowned.

In the letter, Ren Zheng explained in detail the function of the soul energy pointer, and made it clear that if Yu Shuhong and the other two were really still alive but had committed unforgivable crimes, then they would not care about his feelings and should just handle the matter impartially.

"Okay." Lei Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind.

At this time, Yang Heli sent a document to his personal terminal.

-

"Old Squad Leader, Yu Cang just gave me the recipe for the Undead Warrior, along with the corresponding resonance stone. He said he doesn't plan to make this Soul Card public, but he can give it to the military for free."

"This..." Lei Wanqing was stunned.

Immediately, he became a little annoyed.

"How come you all are so conscious? Doesn't this make me seem heartless?"

After all, it was Lei Wanqing who rejected Ren Zheng's application back then.

However, he was just doing his job and there was nothing to blame him for.

"Fuck it, okay, I must find out about this for you!" Lei Wanqing snorted.

Available today! A bit unexpected...

In order to make the subscription look more even, it was later changed into a long chapter. Don’t worry, it didn’t become shorter!
