Chapter 156 Continuous recommendations!
The dim light crystals in the warehouse kept disappearing at a very fast speed. In just a few breaths, the warehouse fell into darkness.
It stands to reason that the sudden disappearance of a large area of light would cause quite a stir, but this warehouse is light-tight, and there are no wild beasts guarding it... After all, wild beasts cannot restrain their desires, and if you let wild beasts guard you, they will definitely turn around and eat you up.
So, when the light disappeared, no wild beast noticed it.
The settlement was still extremely peaceful.
While everyone in the hall was stunned, the image of the soul card had floated out of the settlement and returned to the entrance of the space channel.
Pop.
The picture disappears.
Apparently, Gudu has passed on this project.
Miao Feng's eyes widened: "It's... that simple?"
Miao Xue smiled helplessly: "What else can we do?"
Miao Feng opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say, so he could only spit out: "...outrageous."
Why does it feel like the ancient capital is now... already playing.
In the previous projects, you could feel that at least Gu Du was fighting seriously, but now... It's not that he is not serious, it's just that he looks a little too relaxed.
After a project is completed, even the onlookers cannot collect any intelligence. Isn't this outrageous?
But no matter what, Gudu has finished the competition. It seems that no other team can match it in terms of clearance speed or additional bonus points.
Although only one event has been completed, everyone knows that the first place has already been taken by someone else.
Miao Xue pouted, feeling a little discouraged.
Theoretically speaking, no one should be able to compete with her void-attribute Gu worm in this project!
Directly control the mustard seed flying insect to sneak in, then teleport over a long distance, and most of the things in the warehouse can be taken away. This operation is not difficult at all, just simply controlling the teleportation is enough, at most it will take a little time to guide the teleportation.
She was originally quite confident about this project.
But the speed in the ancient capital is too exaggerated. You can just walk in like taking a stroll, get your things and walk out. It is easier than going home.
After a rough calculation, she knew that this project might not be able to compete.
Guidance takes a fixed amount of time, plus the time it takes for the Mustard Flying Gu to sneak in, which is probably longer than the ancient capital... If you want to compress this time, there is no way to let the warriors guide the teleportation at a safe distance.
How could someone walk faster than space teleportation?
but.
Miao Xue glanced at the list of participating teams on the side.
Well...at least other teams shouldn't be able to beat them, so second...I guess that's acceptable.
…
The subsequent development did not exceed Miao Xue's expectations. After one project competition, they successfully won the second place.
This event is the last event in the morning. After the three events in the afternoon, the competition will be over.
Take a lunch break.
Wu Chutai couldn't eat any more after taking a few bites of his lunch box.
He glanced secretly at the ancient capital, where Yu Cang and the female student were talking and laughing. Beside them, a little girl about seven or eight years old was playing with a baby dragon. From time to time, she would run to Yu Cang, and Yu Cang would respond with a smile.
The scene looked harmonious, but Wu Chutai felt uncomfortable watching it.
Why did he bring a female companion to participate in such a serious competition as the Armament Reform... It would be fine if he just had a female companion, but he also brought a child?
This is outside the borders of Yan Country! And with such a high level of confidentiality in this competition, is it appropriate for you to bring a child?
Nonsense!
Also, what is that baby dragon… a card pet? Such a waste of time, having such good resources, yet playing with such a flashy thing…
Yu Cang, Yu Cang, although you no longer have that uncomfortable youthful spirit, it is impossible for you to achieve anything great if you don’t respect scientific research.
Thinking this in his mind, Wu Chutai could no longer sit still.
He put down his lunch box and stood up.
"You guys eat first, I'm going to go out and do something."
Wen Yang was stunned: "Ah? Oh, okay, teacher."
Wu Chutai walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Although he didn't like Yu Cang, he certainly wouldn't just jump in and cause trouble... That approach was too shameless and could easily backfire.
He's going to report directly to the jury!
Walking all the way to the deepest part of the outpost, Wu Chutai was thinking about what he was going to say next.
Hmm... Gudu wants to register all the optional events. This is definitely not okay. What if other military regions follow Gudu's example and randomly register events? This is disrupting the order of the competition! Malicious competition!
And with this attitude, he casually brought unrelated personnel into the military stronghold, had a weak sense of confidentiality, and might even be a spy from somewhere.
Wu Chutai narrowed his eyes.
…Forget it, let’s not raise it so much for now.
After all, Ren Zheng is standing behind Yu Cang, and what he said might easily cause Ren Zheng to misunderstand.
Although Ren Zheng has been very low-key in recent years, the person he has been in contact with during the years since he became the guardian of the country has always been Lei Wanqing from the Ancient Capital Military District, so their relationship must be very good.
But... I'm not afraid, after all, there are people behind me.
Well, I will just point this out vaguely later. I won’t say it out loud, but just raising a suspicion is enough for Yu Cang to bear.
Then mention that this project is prepared for future myths... The four major families have considerable influence and should be able to influence the jury... right?
Thinking of this, Wu Chutai arrived at the door of the small conference room after being interrogated by several military officers and explaining his identity and purpose.
The sound of discussion in the small conference room could already be heard faintly. The voices, though aged, were full of energy. However, Wu Chutai was preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't bother to discern what was being said.
After finally going over what he was going to say, Wu Chutai raised his hand and knocked on the door of the small conference room.
However, at this moment.
Wu Chutai came to his senses and suddenly heard the conversation in the room:
"Lei Wanqing! This is a serious matter, don't mess around!" A loud voice shouted from inside, "Do you know how rare it is to get a place in the Fengyue Cangjian class of our Shengdu? I can help you get this place by asking Yu Cang to come to Shengdu University for an exchange for a year. It's already a good deal for you!"
"Don't give me that." Another voice was no less loud, "I don't know what you're planning. Xiao Cang went to the Holy City, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back, right?"
"Humph, if Yu Cang really doesn't want to return to the ancient capital, it means that the resources you gave him are too poor, and he deserves it."
"What did you say?!" He sounded furious. "We have plenty of resources in our ancient capital. We don't need you to dictate our decisions!"
…
Wu Chutai was slightly stunned. When he heard a few familiar names, he was a little slow to react.
Wait... Yu Cang is mentioned in it, right? What is the relationship between Yu Cang and the jury?
Even if the jury was discussing this, they should have been discussing the Ancient Capital's leader. Why would they be discussing Yu Cang... Besides, the Holy Capital's Fengyue Cangjian? That mythical secret realm?!
Damn, he hasn't even been in there! Why should he give it to Yu Cang...
etc!
Wu Chutai frowned.
The person just now... mentioned Lei Wanqing, right?
Isn't Lei Wanqing the one...
Wu Chutai's eyes widened suddenly. Although the time was too short and his brain had not fully reacted to what happened, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
He wanted to retreat, but it was too late. As soon as the thought came to his mind, his fingers had already knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
Wu Chutai took a deep breath and turned to leave, but the discussion behind the door disappeared the next second after the knock on the door. Then, Wu Chutai seemed to feel several mysterious gazes falling on him, making him freeze in place.
A few seconds later.
"Come in." Another voice sounded.
Wu Chutai swallowed his saliva.
Although he is very strong in card making, his Soul Card Master level... can only be described as mediocre.
I can't leave.
Forget it, there will always be a way when you reach the mountain.
Wu Chutai sighed, turned around, pushed the door and walked into the meeting room.
As soon as they entered the door, seven pairs of eyes immediately fell on Wu Chutai.
Wu Chutai could only say that the seven figures in front of him looked very familiar, but he really couldn't remember who they were for a while.
The strange thing is... I don't know if it's an illusion, but Wu Chutai always feels that the eyes these people look at him are full of scrutiny, and they don't seem very friendly...
It must be an illusion. I didn't do anything, so why should these big guys be hostile to me?
"Is there anything wrong?" Qiu Zhong narrowed his eyes and had an interested expression on his lips.
"Um... it's like this, I want to report..." Wu Chutai calmed down and was about to speak when suddenly, a figure in the corner of his eye chuckled.
Wu Chutai was stunned for a moment and turned to look.
This is……
His brain was working rapidly, and suddenly, a name flashed through his mind.
Thunder Wanqing!
Isn't this the one that Ren Zheng...
Wu Chutai's eyes widened slightly. On Lei Wanqing's face, he clearly saw three parts of teasing, three parts of amusement, three parts of carelessness and a hint of vague threat.
He didn't know how he could suddenly see so many emotions, but he knew that this was definitely not his hallucination.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong. There were actually seven people sitting in the small conference room, but shouldn't the jury consist of only six?
So this extra one is...
Wu Chutai swallowed his saliva.
He thought of a very dangerous possibility, which made him swallow the second half of his sentence.
But I dare not say it anymore. If I continue, I’m afraid I’ll be finished!
He can't beat Lei Wanqing!
"Oh? What's wrong?" Qiu Zhong moved his fingers casually. "What do you want to report?"
"Um..." Wu Chutai blinked. "I want to report...report the boxed lunches here, they're terrible! How can our soldiers eat this kind of food...and there's no cafeteria, so they have to carry the food to their seats and eat it themselves. It's easy to spill it if you're not careful, and the staff won't even replace it!"
Lei Wanqing: “…”
Jiangshan, who was enjoying the show, said: "..."
Qiu Zhong: "Hmm...that's a problem." He tried hard to control his expression, trying not to laugh. "Well...you should go back first. I received your suggestion. Thank you for your concern for our soldiers. Next year's major military overhaul will improve this aspect."
Wu Chutai breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I managed to get away with it.
"Thank you, thank you... Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"OK."
Wu Chutai turned around, opened the door and walked away without stopping at all.
After the door closed, the people at the conference table looked at each other.
"He is Wu Chutai?"
"Coming to such a serious competition, yet reporting to the judging panel over such a childish question is ridiculous!"
"You're already outside the borders of Yan Country, but you're still thinking about satisfying your appetite. You're kind of losing your mind."
"That's right."
"By the way, I heard from the people down below that he just came to ask if he could leave early."
"They have no respect for the military's work and lack a sense of confidentiality!"
“Puff…”
"Lao Lei, what are you laughing at?"
"It's okay, I just thought of something happy."
"puff……"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
…
Wu Chutai returned to his seat with a sour face.
Hu Chen and Wen Yang saw his expression and tactfully did not hang around Wu Chutai.
At this time, Wu Chutai was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Inside information, there must be inside information!
Lei Wanqing doesn't seem to be on this year's jury list? What the hell is he doing sitting there?!
This Lei Wanqing... wouldn't he have revealed the secret to Gu Du?
Wu Chutai clenched his fists, but in the end said nothing.
They also got some information from the channels in advance, but they didn't have the confidence to use this to scam others.
And... although Wu Chutai was very angry, he had to admit that Gu Du's card deck this time was definitely several levels higher than other card decks. With such strength, it didn't matter whether there was inside information or not.
Besides, he has no evidence, so if he says this, no one will believe him... unless he can find a suitable opportunity.
Wu Chutai fell into deep thought.
Besides, he just wanted to target Yu Cang and didn't want to offend the person in charge of the ancient capital... Judging from the current situation, this person in charge will definitely be a hot figure in the card maker world in the next few years, and he can't afford to offend him.
But... what to do? Lei Wanqing has already come here, and it's impossible for him to do anything against Yu Cang...
The more Wu Chutai thought about it, the angrier he became. However, there was nothing he could do, so he could only pick up the lunch box again and take a few mouthfuls of rice.
Hmm...it's cold already.
He put the lunch box on the ground.
Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with what I reported...this lunch box is just too disgusting!
Behind them, Wen Yang and Hu Chen looked at each other.
I don't understand.
…
Soon, the break was over.
The list of projects for the afternoon is out.
The first project was continuous combat on the front line. When everyone saw the name, they had an ominous premonition.
It’s hard to say about other projects, but this project... just by listening to the name, it is definitely in the advantageous area of the ancient capital.
If that kind of firepower were used on the front battlefield, wouldn't it just become a war of annihilation?
Everyone quickly looked at the list, and sure enough, the ancient capital's name was listed first!
This time, no one was surprised.
But... Gudu has already signed up for seven projects... How crazy.
However, they seem to have the strength to do this.
"Wait." Jin Zhaoshan seemed to have discovered something. "Old Bai... why is there a ranking directly after the name of the ancient capital?"
"ah?"
When Lao Bai took a look, he found it was true.
I saw a first-place sign behind the name of the ancient capital...even though the competition hadn't even started yet.
At this time, a warrior stepped forward and explained, "Due to the limited resources of the wild beasts prepared by the association, after comprehensive consideration, we are now directly ranking based on the ancient capital's previous performance. If you have any objections, please raise them now."
The soldier glanced around.
No one spoke.
Even Wu Chutai looked straight ahead, showing no reaction at all.
After waiting for a few seconds and still no one speaking, the warrior nodded, turned and left the hall.
After the warrior left, the other people in the hall were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
What does this mean...directly admitted?
The reason turned out to be that the resources of wild beasts were limited... It was true. Judging from the efficiency of the ancient capital team in killing wild beasts before, no matter how many wild beasts there were, they were not enough for them to kill.
A team was sent directly to the first place without any competition. Logically, everyone would feel a little uncomfortable, but if this team was Gu Du, there would be no such problem.
I believe that anyone who has seen the performance of the previous projects would not think that anyone can beat Gudu in such a head-to-head project, right?
Moreover, the ancient capital already has six optional first-place items, so it doesn’t really make any difference whether it has this first-place item or not.
Thinking of this, they also became calm.
In the morning, when they saw the car crash, they would feel heavy-hearted, fearing that their grades would drop one place.
But now, as they gradually realized that Gudu was planning to take over all the projects... they became happy.
Everyone's score dropped by one place, which means nothing has changed after rounding off!
The person in charge of Gudu is quite nice. Knowing that no one can beat him, he reported everything and created an environment of fair competition.
Especially Mudu, Shixi is now refreshed.
The depression of Gudu yesterday when all three projects crashed has been swept away, and now all that is left is happiness!
Sure enough, as long as everyone is equally miserable, there is nothing to be depressed about.
Ha ha.
…
Towards the ancient capital
Yu Cang was also a little amused and helpless.
"This is really... directly sent to the first place? Doesn't this make people feel like there's an inside story?"
Lin Yunqing shook his head: "In the face of absolute strength, inside information is meaningless."
"That's true." Yu Cang tutted his words, "But this has helped us. Otherwise, our ammunition reserves might not be enough."
After two and a half days of fighting, the soldiers' ammunition reserves were actually almost exhausted. Moreover, they ran back and forth during the day and had to rest well at night to prepare for the next day's project. In fact, there was not much time to accumulate ammunition.
This project is one that consumes a lot of ammunition. If we continue to crush it like before, we will have to be careful with the next two projects.
Now there is no need to compare, which is just right.
…
Towards the Imperial Capital
Wu Chutai leaned back in his chair, looking speechless.
Good news, no need to watch the ancient capital being slaughtered.
Bad news, Gu Du is still killing people indiscriminately, which makes me even angrier.
While being speechless, Wu Chutai also suppressed the little thought in his mind.
As expected, even if there is any inside information... it will not affect the ancient capital. Even if I want to rely on this to operate, I will probably only bring shame upon myself.
Look at the reactions of the warriors around... They've probably already regarded this deck as their own armament.
…
Without the ancient capital to explore the way, the other teams that signed up for this project had a very fierce battle.
In the end, the second and third places fell into the hands of Shendu and Youdu respectively. This result was not surprising.
The next task was tactical support. When the team list was announced, everyone looked as if they had expected it.
Sure enough, the ancient capital is still in first place!
And... just like the previous project, the ancient capital was also internally designated as the first place.
Sitting in their seats, Yu Cang and Lin Yunqing looked at each other.
"You were directly admitted to this project?" Yu Cang was a little surprised.
"...This time, it seems like they don't even want to give a reason." Lin Yunqing also looked a little puzzled.
"Why do I feel like something's wrong?" Yu Cang pondered for a moment. "The association gives me the feeling... maybe it's a little too hasty."
"Yes, a little bit." Lin Yunqing nodded, but couldn't say anything else.
The requirements of this project are that a team is needed to support three battlefields at the same time. Originally in their plan, this project was to be centered around the Electronic Energy Draining Tower.
The Electronic Energy Draining Tower can transfer soul energy to friendly forces over extremely long distances. This effect is quite powerful and is just right for use here.
Now, this tactic is no longer useful.
Suddenly, Yu Cang raised his hand and looked at the duel shield on his body.
By the way... ever since that project was pushed forward in a high-pressure environment, the person responsible for adding a duel shield to himself has changed from Wanquan to another military person.
Yu Cang raised his head and looked around.
In addition, Wan Quan told himself that the facilities of this outpost were quite simple and had only been built recently, without even a canteen or dormitory.
Could it be that...
Yu Cang touched his chin.
Could it be that the military is planning to do something to itself?
Uh...I can't.
Soon, the project was over and the last project was a field reconnaissance.
This project is much easier to understand, and it is a solo project. Originally, this project was to be taken over by the Skeleton Mechanical Dog and the Silent Field, but... Gu Du was also internally designated as the first.
As soon as the list came out, the whole audience was shocked.
The game is not over yet, but obviously, the final result is out.
Three are required and nine are optional. Since the birth of the Armament Overhaul competition, Gudu is the first team to win first place in all events at the same time!
And looking at the official actions of the last three projects, it is obvious that the jury is also very satisfied with this project, otherwise they would not have made the move of directly deciding three first places in a row!
In other words, in the final jury's scoring, the ancient capital will definitely rank first.
Although it was expected, when everyone actually saw the result, they couldn't help but sigh.
Such exaggerated achievements, to put it bluntly, would probably be a revolution in armaments.
And... in the next few years, there probably won't be a team that can match the performance of Gudu.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the direction of the ancient capital, their eyes full of curiosity.
Who is the card maker who created this deck?
Thanks to sea1111 for the reward!
