Chapter 445 447 Reunion
Ning Qingyun showed a bitter smile because he never liked to owe favors to others, but this time the favor he owed was a big one.
He had also inquired about it before. Although some of the difficult and important tasks issued by the authorities had generous rewards, there has never been a precedent of rewarding 10,000 credit points for a single mission. What's more, the location map and keys of two small armories were also given. It was obvious that the reward was so generous, not only because of Yan Zishu's face, but also because of Minister Yan Cheng's goodwill and solicitation.
"Qingyun, don't think too much. The news, treasures, and maps you brought out of the Yunwu Secret Realm have all been given to my father and others. Now the experts from the Research Department have basically mastered the rules for the opening of imports and exports to the Yunwu Secret Realm. Your news and maps are priceless treasures. From this point of view, you are a person who has made contributions to the country and you deserve preferential treatment." Yan Zishu knew that Ning Qingyun was arrogant, and was afraid that he might have some thoughts in his mind, so he hurriedly said.
"Zishu, you don't have to comfort me. I know you mean well." Ning Qingyun had a good relationship with Yan Zishu when they were in school. He would not change his attitude towards him just because he knew that Yan Zishu's father held a high position.
"Haha, let's go, let's establish the credibility points first, then we can talk together." Yan Zishu patted Ning Qingyun's shoulder and said with a smile.
With 10,000 credit points in hand, the Tianhe Mercenary Group was upgraded from a two-star mercenary group to a five-star mercenary group, and was only one step away from the highest level six-star mercenary group.
"Qingyun, you'd better go to Northwest Bay as soon as possible. The earth's crust and ground temperature are fluctuating frequently and are very unstable. A major geological disaster may occur at any time. The army is now transporting supplies non-stop to prevent crustal changes. The surface area of the earth will further expand." After finishing their business, the two found a teahouse to reminisce about the past, and Yan Zishu said to Ning Qingyun.
"I've also heard about this. When will the geological disaster probably occur? Do you know the approximate time period?" Ning Qingyun asked.
"Based on the current situation, it will be safe within two months, but it's hard to say after two months." Yan Zishu did not hide it from him.
Ning Qingyun's face changed slightly. It seemed that time was running out. In addition to the arsenal in Northwest Bay given by Yan Cheng, he also hid a batch of crude oil and hot weapons smuggled from abroad before the end of the world, as well as a batch of grain imported from abroad for investment storage. These things were stored in different locations. It would be impossible to take all of them out in two months.
"Qingyun, you should have found your wife and children when you went to Jindu this time? Look, you already have a child, but I haven't even seen your wife yet?" Yan Zishu complained half-truthfully.
"We got married in a hurry, so I didn't tell anyone. Please forgive me." Ning Qingyun said with a smile.
"I haven't heard from you since you left Beijing. Now that we old classmates are reuniting, if you are free tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in Tianxiang Pavilion to welcome you and your wife. How about that?" Yan Zishu was really curious about what kind of person Ning Qingyun's wife was.
Ning Qingyun's relationship with Gong Hanyu attracted a lot of criticism. Later, Gong Hanyu went abroad and Ning Qingyun left Beijing. Now, Gong Hanyu is still single, but Ning Qingyun has a wife and children. The eldest daughter of the Gong family is probably not willing to accept this.
"Well, Zishu, I appreciate your kindness, but I need to ask Xianxian about this matter before I can give you an answer." Ning Qingyun said with an embarrassed cough.
"Okay, okay. If you don't have time, we can make an appointment next time. We are all in the capital city anyway. No rush, no rush." Yan Zishu picked up a cup of tea to hide the surprise on his face.
Wasn't it said that Ning Qingyun's wife came from a humble background? Yan Zishu had thought that Ning Qingyun would definitely make the final decision on the appointment. If he hadn't understood Ning Qingyun's character and hadn't bothered to lie to get by, he would have thought that this was an excuse.
"Qingyun, now that you have found the person you care about, do you plan to join the army?" Yan Zishu asked.
"The brothers under me have followed me since before the end of the world. No matter what, I can't abandon them. Forget about joining the army!" Ning Qingyun shook his head and said.
"In order to get the things you brought out of the Yunwu Secret Realm, did my father give you a military rank of colonel?" Yan Zishu asked. Ning Qingyun was not the only one who got a military rank. Another young man from a noble family who decided to join the army at that time also received a military rank as a reward from the military.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" The colonel's shoulder straps were now lying in the gem space in Ning Qingyun's hand. This military rank neither allowed him to receive salary nor had the power to deploy troops. It was equivalent to an honorary title.
"Your mercenary group is now five-star. Once it is upgraded to six stars, you can apply for a base in the safe zone. The leader of a six-star mercenary group has the rank of colonel. If you make great contributions under the leadership of the leader, you can apply to be established as a military unit. In other words, your brothers will still follow you and do not have to be dispersed into other teams. At that time, you can directly obey orders from the military headquarters and obtain supplies from regular troops." Yan Zishu said.
The Tiger Mercenary Group that Ning Qingtian belongs to takes this approach.
Whether or not to apply for the establishment of an army when the conditions are met is something to be considered later. The most important thing right now is how to get the crude oil, food, and hot weapons back. The arsenal is in the northwest bay. The crude oil and hot weapons he stored before the end of the world are in the mountains in the north of Chongzhou. The location where the grain is hidden is not far from the capital. He has the gem space in his hand, so he can transport the food back by himself. The other two places are more difficult to deal with, and they require long-term planning and careful planning.
"Qingyun, the communication is cut off, and monsters have fallen from the sky, bringing disaster to our world. The balls of light bursting out of the monsters have shown us a new way forward. Although we cannot judge now whether this change is good or bad for us, we have to make plans for the worst, such as alien colonization or invasion from another dimension." Yan Zishu said seriously.
Ning Qingyun nodded. There were all kinds of speculations among the people now, and the official authorities dared not reveal a lot of information for fear of causing confusion. The more people knew, the more pessimistic the conclusions they would draw.
"After the monsters upgraded this winter, the threat to us is getting bigger and bigger. Coupled with the active crust, it is very likely to cause serious natural disasters. Our lives will only become more and more difficult in the future. In this situation, only if we unite can we overcome the difficulties together." Yan Zishu said with worry.
