Chapter 27 Humanity, 'God'
Looking at the two people excitedly returning to their respective tents, Lin Luo shook his head with amusement.
No one can explain the concept of luck, not even God.
"Don't you see, even after adding those 10 points of luck, my luck attribute is still a series of question marks."
With a thought, purple light flowed on his body, and he flew straight to the fourth floor. He looked around, but could not see the tall Chief of Staff He.
Walking into the still messy reception room, Xiahou Xuan and Wu Qi had not changed their armor yet, obviously they had been busy all night.
At this moment, they look refreshed and seem to be a lot younger. I think this is the benefit of breaking through to the fourth level.
Wu Qi took a look, threw away the documents in his hand, pulled out a stool and said, "Lin Luo, you're here, come and sit down.
I was busy all night distributing compensation to the soldiers and arranging the bodies, so I haven't been able to clean up here yet. Please don't mind."
Feeling Wu Qi's enthusiasm, Lin Luo was slightly stunned and asked, "Captain Wu, what are you doing...?"
"Your rank is higher than his." Xiahou Xuan forced a rare smile on his face and said slowly, "The Imperial Military Department sent a notice. After discussion, two plans were determined:
First, the empire gives you the rank of honorary major general, but you do not have complete freedom of authority and must obey the empire's conscription orders. Apart from that, you are relatively free and are given six beasts of fortune.
Second, the rank of colonel, complete freedom of authority, the ability to selectively obey imperial orders, and six beasts of fortune.
I hope you will consider this carefully. The difference between these two words has a world of difference in meaning."
The "honorary" major general directly touched the center of power. Although he had no real power, it also represented the empire's trust in him.
"Don't think about it." Lin Luo said decisively: "The rank is not important, as long as I have it, it proves that I am still from my hometown, so I choose...
The first one! "
Xiahou Xuan smiled and deliberately asked, "Are you really going to give up the second option, complete freedom of authority?"
Lin Luo sat on the stool, took a sip of the tea Wu Qi handed him, and said affirmatively: "Although my ambition is not to go to the starry sky or to other worlds, the Hanhai Star is my hometown."
"Okay!" Xiahou Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, "However, your idea may have to be postponed. The empire cannot withstand the storm right now."
"I know, so I plan to stay for another two years and head to the starry sky after the situation in the empire stabilizes."
Wu Qi gave a timely compliment: "It's settled. I believe that with you here, my Xinghui Empire will be safe!"
"That's not an exaggeration. The empire is worry-free because of you." Lin Luo didn't buy it. After exchanging some compliments, he asked, "What is a fortune beast?"
Xiahou Xuan picked up a file bag, handed it to him, and explained, "That refers to a type of exotic beast. Generally speaking, the chance of finding a treasure chest after killing one is as high as 60%!
Because the chance of opening a treasure chest is very high, they are often called lucky beasts.
Currently, only one spatial rift in the empire, in Biandu, has been discovered that harbors beasts of fortune, and their numbers are extremely rare."
"I see. Thanks."
Lin Luo didn't have any hope for the chance of opening a treasure chest. He took the file bag, opened it and took a look. Inside was a guard officer's certificate with a star printed on it, as well as a military file.
"After the selection, the Fortune Beast will be delivered here tomorrow. Alternatively, you can go and choose one yourself. Which one would you choose?"
"The first one, right? But why is it multiple choice again?"
"There's nothing I can do. This is the military's requirement and the treatment you deserve." Xiahou Xuan handed a panel to Lin Luo and clicked on a picture and text on it.
In the picture, the streets are littered with corpses of civilians, and the neat wounds show that all this was not done by strange beasts.
Wu Qi said, "Hundreds of large-scale riots broke out simultaneously last night. People around the world are relying on killing to gain experience."
Lin Luo looked at the picture on the tablet, frowned slightly, and asked, "Did anyone instigate this?"
"Yes, but we couldn't find their headquarters. These people were fearless and died as soon as the guards captured them," Wu Qi said solemnly. "Furthermore, they kept repeating the same word..."
"What word?"
Xiahou Xuan and Wu Qi said in unison: "Death!"
"Black and White Impermanence, or King Yama?" Lin Luo asked.
There are only Oriental people and Oriental mythology on the Hanhai Star. This is what he knew on the first day he came to this world.
"Neither. The gods you mentioned were fabricated by humans, but this god might actually exist!" Xiahou Xuan rubbed his brows and continued, "If you silently recite the name of the god 'Ashura' in your heart, a strange power will rise in your mind.
Cold, dark, depressing...all kinds of negative emotions will linger in your heart, like a 'curse'."
"Is the negative effect of this 'curse' strong?" Lin Luo asked.
"It's not very strong. Any professional who has reached the second level can break it." Xiahou Xuan paused and said, "But most of us on the Vast Sea Star are at the first level. There are very few professionals who can reach the second level."
Lin Luo leaned back in his chair and asked, "General Xia, what do you want me to do?"
"It's better to open it than to block it!" Xiahou Xuan stared at him and said solemnly, "After video consultation, the Imperial Federation Government has decided to open the X378 space rift to the public at 2:00 this afternoon.
This was a bold attempt. Although it was the smallest space crack at present, it was still much larger than the one destroyed yesterday.
The Empire does not want any accidents to happen, so the military hopes that you can participate in our operation."
"Okay, for Xinghui." Lin Luo smiled slightly.
The three of them looked at each other in silence.
…
Watching Lin Luo fly off into the distance, Xiahou Xuan erected a mental barrier and asked Wu Qi, "How are Xu Shao and the others doing?"
"Looking sad, the same as always, nothing was achieved, both of them are crazy."
Xiahou Xuan tapped his fingertips on the table and sighed, "Those things are inherently mysterious and cannot be forced."
Wu Qi speculated, "Squad Leader, are you saying... is it because Xu Shao and the others are men that this method doesn't work?
After all, Lin Luo is a young man full of vigor and vitality. Should we send a woman to give it a try?"
"You're letting a stranger go. Aren't you just going to make things worse and make him wary?" Xiahou Xuan glared at him fiercely and said slowly, "However, what you said is not without reason.
Let Chief of Staff He know a little bit, and as for Yuyan... let someone spread some rumors. She's shy, so let her try it out of curiosity."
He looked at the teacup that Lin Luo had drunk from, and sighed in his heart: "Girl, I have to catch this kid Lin Luo..."
Just think of it as being for the empire!
