Lu Lufeng's expression froze for a moment, then he turned to look at his trusted subordinate and asked suspiciously, "Is it almost full?"
...How is this possible?
Lu Lufeng remembered that three or two days ago, the Dawn Legion's recruitment platform was still empty. According to their calculations, Gu Qiongsheng had only found four or five hundred people at most, which was far from the Federation's requirements.
How come it's almost full after just one weekend?
Seeing that Lu Lufeng didn't believe it, the confidant hurriedly opened his personal terminal, connected to the intranet, and showed him the screen.
I saw that the website interface, which was blank before, was now densely packed with application information, with lines of small characters crowded together like tadpoles. I pressed the refresh button and "swish", a large number of applications popped up.
Looking at the countless number of applicants, Lu Lufeng frowned.
However, he was quite shrewd and managed to remain calm. He simply waved his hand and said, "...Forget it."
It’s full, then it’s full.
What good people could there be in this group that was hastily put together in just a few days?
Lu Lufeng thought with contempt in his heart that this must be because Gu Qiong was sick and desperate to find a cure, so he dragged all kinds of people to make up the number.
What kind of outstanding performance can a legion like this put together?
A confidant observed her expression and whispered in agreement, "I heard she recruited some of her college classmates and directly appointed one of them as Chief of Staff... Commander, building a corps should be a serious matter. Why is she treating it like a game?"
"With such a small army, they still have the nerve to call themselves the Dawn."
Lu Lufeng tapped his right hand lightly on the table and said nonchalantly, "Well, after all, he's a very popular healer in the Federation. Give him some face."
"They might not really want to form a legion. They might just be looking for an excuse to make their presence felt."
The confidant smiled and said, "True, he is a healer after all."
The two looked at each other and laughed softly.
Just at this moment, the confidant's personal terminal vibrated with a "buzzing" sound.
He clicked it casually, took a look, and was suddenly stunned.
Lu Lufeng: “What?”
"this……"
The confidant opened his eyes wide, almost glued to the screen, and studied it carefully for a long time, his lips moving: "Yes, it's Xiao Wang's news. He said that Chen Sheng was seen in the newly divided Dawn Legion base..."
Lu Lufeng: “???”
"Chen Sheng?"
Of course Lu Lufeng knew Chen Sheng.
Moreover, a year ago, when Chen Sheng emerged as a rising star and achieved outstanding results in the federal individual competition, he gladly extended an olive branch to the young warrior.
And then... I was politely rejected.
At that time, Chen Sheng's excuse was that he liked his current legion and his comrades very much, so he didn't want to leave.
Lu Lufeng said he understood, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
In his opinion, the small legion that Chen Sheng belonged to was too small and was not worthy of this man's qualifications. It was a pity that this kid was too stupid and didn't know what "water flows to the low places and people go to the high places" meant. It was really disappointing.
Later, he heard that Chen Sheng's army was attacked by Zerg. Although they fought hard, they were eventually wiped out. Chen Sheng, the only survivor, was mentally exhausted and became a disabled person.
Lu Lufeng sighed with the others, but thought maliciously in his heart, you are so ungrateful.
Now look what’s going on, it’s ruined!
If the Sky-Lifting Legion had come earlier, everything would have been fine. How could their insignificant small legions compare with the large legions in his hands?
Lu Lufeng quickly put Chen Sheng behind his mind - on the one hand, it was because of his busy military affairs, and on the other hand, every year, the Federation lost countless geniuses for similar reasons.
These people are like meteors across the sky, shining brightly but briefly in the night sky, but then disappearing in a flash, falling heavily and turning into a pile of charcoal-like meteorites.
Those who are destined to perish are not worthy of attention.
Lu Lufeng really didn't expect that after a year, he would hear the name "Chen Sheng" again.
Moreover, he was linked to "Gu Qiongsheng", whom he also hated?
"Why did he appear in the Dawn Station?"
Lu Lufeng was very confused.
He stared at the words on the screen, his right eyelid twitched a few times, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.
Could it be that... he was cured by Gu Qiongsheng?
Sure enough, not long after, the confidant came running over with more information: "Captain, Captain!"
"Chen Sheng seems to have truly recovered—I asked Xiao Wang to observe him carefully, and he told me that Chen Sheng's mental state is very good, and his aura is strong. Even if his mental strength hasn't fully recovered, his combat power has at least recovered 70% to 80%..."
Lu Lufeng's brows suddenly furrowed.
Before being injured, Chen Shengke was an S-class warrior.
If it has recovered 70% to 80%, it’s at least an A.
Although an A-level is not enough to impress the powerful Sky-building Legion, Lu Lufeng thought about it for a moment and felt uncomfortable.
He nodded perfunctorily, saying insincerely, "Recovered... Yeah, it's good that it's recovered. The Federation has gained another fighting force, which is a good thing."
Lu Lufeng had known how serious Chen Sheng's injuries were. With the current medical technology in the Federation, it was absolutely impossible for him to fully recover.
He had heard of Gu Qiongsheng's reputation as a "miracle doctor" and that the girl had the ability to turn decay into magic, but in Lu Lufeng's mind, no matter how great a doctor was, treatment would still take time and energy.
Can Chen Sheng be cured in just a few days?
...Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance that she really cured Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng is just one person after all.
"Legion, Legion, the key is the word 'group'." Lu Lufeng said slowly, "This group can mean unity or team. Only the strength of the team is the ultimate strength of the legion. The outstanding performance of one or two people cannot represent..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw his confidant's smile was bitter, and he raised his head with difficulty: "But Captain, no, it's not just Chen Sheng."
"Xiao Wang said he also saw Tang Guang, Jian Daxing, Ran Hongyun, and Ji Chan..."
Lu Lufeng: “……!”
…
A cool breeze blows through the hall.
In the silence, Lu Lufeng's expression gradually became gloomy.
Every single one of the names that the confidant just read out was as famous as Chen Sheng, and some were even more famous than Chen Sheng.
——Not only in terms of combat power, some of these people have unique mental powers that can be put to good use in many situations; some are best at operating interstellar weapons and were once famous star cannon masters throughout the federation.
Gu Qiongsheng's recruitment was comprehensive, and he directly brought in all the talents needed by the legion.
Lu Lufeng stared at the list sent by his confidant with his eyes wide open, and his heart was so sour that it almost bubbled.
Each of these names is an eternal pain in the hearts of many legion commanders.
They are powerful in combat, calm in character, and have excellent comprehensive qualities... In the past, each of them was sought after by various legions. Unfortunately, they were short-lived and God envied their talents. These people only made their mark briefly before they had to exit the battlefield with scars all over their bodies and full of resentment due to their unfortunate encounters on the battlefield.
If nothing unexpected happens, the rest of their lives will be spent in illness and mediocrity.
And now, these names reappeared, in a very full state, and all threw themselves into the arms of the Legion of Dawn?
It's incredible!
"...What did Gu Qiongsheng do?" the confidant murmured softly, "Can she really save so many people?"
Lu Lufeng licked his back teeth, his brows furrowed in a knot.
He held it in for a long time, his face flushed, and finally he waved his hand suddenly: "Let's go, get ready."
"Let's go take a look at this newly established Dawn."
…
Within the general military region, each legion has its own exclusive base.
Lu Lufeng was originally on a mission on another planet. In order to see the Dawn Legion with his own eyes, he specially dispatched a spaceship and returned to the First Planet overnight in a low-key manner.
At dawn, Lu Lufeng finally rushed back to the military region.
His confidant took him to the Dawn Base. From a distance, Lu Lufeng saw a large group of familiar yet unfamiliar faces.
Each one of them is a genius and an elite. Lu Lufeng rarely sees so many elite warriors gathered together. The key is that everyone has a smile on their face and is full of energy. The entire base is shrouded in a positive and uplifting atmosphere.
You know what, it really does have a bit of a "dawn" feel to it.
The confidant stood behind Lu Lufeng and asked in a low voice: "Captain, do you want to go in and pay a visit?"
Lu Lufeng looked at him gloomily and said hesitantly: "Wait a minute."
He looked around the Dawn Base, trying to find some obvious omissions.
Before coming here, Lu Lufeng always thought that Gu Qiongsheng was just a half-grown girl, what could she know about handling military affairs?
It’s a good thing that the military garrison regiment was not messed up by her.
But upon arriving at the scene, Lu Lufeng discovered that despite the arrival of many new members, the Shuguang base was not in the panic he had expected. On the contrary, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Passing through the crowd, Lu Lufeng saw Zhou Feng, who was formerly from the Silver Legion, and Zheng Hun, who was formerly from the Star Legion.
"...Isn't that a capable general under Old Man Qin?" Lu Lufeng frowned. "How come he came to the Dawn Legion? He's willing to leave."
And there is Zheng Hun, who is also a rising star in recent years.
Gu Qiongsheng's method of poaching people is really amazing.
However, after careful observation, Lu Lufeng still found some problems - in the corner of the base, there were more than a dozen young people gathered, looking a little nervous, and judging from their faces, they seemed to be students.
The confidant beside him lowered his voice and said, "Those are Gu Qiongsheng's classmates."
"I don't know what she was thinking, actually dragging students who haven't graduated yet to make up the numbers."
Lu Lufeng nodded with deep feeling, sighing, "Nepotism is a big taboo. Also... according to the principle of a wooden barrel, the shortest plank determines the upper limit of the water the barrel can hold. The same principle applies to the legion."
Judging from the slightly unsteady steps of those students, their mental strength is most likely only C-level. When they are on the battlefield to perform missions, these people will become the weakest link of the Dawn Legion and the breakthrough point that others will focus on.
Lu Lufeng raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Suddenly, he saw a student walking out of the crowd under the guidance of Zhou Feng and followed her into a room.
After a while, the glass windows in that room suddenly trembled violently, and an invisible force spread like a vortex, instantly covering most of the station!
Lu Lufeng was dumbfounded, watching the door open and the student who had just walked in walked out with a smile on his face.
And the fluctuation of his mental power has surprisingly jumped to level A.
It's C before entering the door, and A when leaving the door.
The shortest plank of the wooden barrel was raised higher by Gu Qiongsheng by himself!
