Chapter 163 Miao Xue’s Gift
The achievements that Yu Cang had revealed publicly were naturally not worthy of a Flame Emperor Medal, but with the information provided by Ren Zheng, they easily learned about the research that Yu Cang had not made public.
Fusion! Synchronization!
No matter which one it is, it is a groundbreaking achievement. Although it seems that it has not yet formed a system, the key is that Yu Cang's research has not encountered any bottlenecks.
According to the information collected so far, it is conservatively estimated that the prototypes of these two systems will definitely be complete before Yu Cang reaches middle age.
In addition to these two new summoning methods, in their opinion, the method of splicing multiple lower-level soul cards together in the individual reactive armor to summon higher-level soul cards can actually be regarded as a new summoning method, but it seems that this summoning method can only be applied to the mechanical system.
Three summoning methods, such an achievement is enough to qualify for the Flame Emperor Medal.
Not to mention, Yu Cang is suspected of discovering a new method of resonance, which further increases his potential contribution.
But even so, Yu Cang is still young, and the results in his hands have not yet taken shape. They originally planned to let Yu Cang settle down for a few years before awarding him the Flame Emperor Medal in a natural way - after all, this medal is of great significance, and awarding it to a young man is a bit hasty no matter how you look at it.
However, after carefully studying Yu Cang's background information, they decided to issue it in advance.
It seemed like many people were eyeing Yu Cang, and naturally, many of them had ill intentions. The Flame Emperor Medal was like a death-proof golden ticket in the Yan Kingdom, and it could also serve as a warning to those with ill intentions.
Moreover, with the Flame Emperor Medal, the association can naturally allocate some resources and increase some protection.
If Yu Cang didn't have any status, it would be difficult for the association to handle some things. It would be troublesome and easy for others to find fault with him.
Moreover, judging from Yu Cang's current condition, it is estimated that within a few years he will personally go to the place where the real dragon dies. By then, the situation will be unknown, and it is possible that he will soar into the sky or perish.
It might be a bit late to award the medal after that.
As for going to the place where the real dragon died - they would try their best to dissuade him and help Yu Cang solve the problem of his parents, but if Yu Cang was determined to go, they would not stop him from taking the risk.
After all, experiencing danger is a necessary condition for the growth of a strong person. Just like Emperor Chang'an, if he had not experienced the experience of searching for myths in dangerous places in his early years, perhaps he himself would not have become a myth.
To sum up, the purpose of awarding the Flame Emperor Medal so early is to tell those who are keeping an eye on Yu Cang: this person is under the protection of the association.
Moreover, it is also to use the sense of honor to put a little pressure on Yu Cang, so that he will not waste his time and produce real results as soon as possible - after all, Yu Cang is now doing things here and there, and although every project he has handled has produced results, it is indeed not as reassuring as specializing in only one project and perfecting a system as soon as possible.
Yu Cang certainly didn't know what they were thinking. He was standing on the stage, looking at the medal on his chest, and his mind felt dizzy.
Is this true? Are you kidding?
He knew very well what the Flame Emperor Medal meant.
In the more than one thousand years since the founding of Yan State, only more than twenty Yan Emperor Medals have been awarded. The recipients of each medal have made indelible contributions to Yan State. They are household names and even children can call out their names.
Well...it's not certain after today. After all, the children of Yan Country definitely don't recognize me yet.
When he was given such a medal, he subconsciously felt unworthy of it, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
After all, he has developed two epoch-making systems, fusion and synchronization, so he can afford it.
By the way, I have come up with so many things without realizing it.
Wow!
In the audience, everyone was silent for a moment, then stood up together.
This time, it wasn't someone taking the lead, but everyone really stood up and applauded.
Although it is still unclear what Yu Cang did, the association's judgment on the Flame Emperor Medal is certainly not false. After all, this is a country's highest honor and cannot be awarded casually.
However, there was also some curiosity in their eyes.
What did Yu Cang do?
From what Jiangshan said, it seems that Yu Cang’s achievement of winning the Flame Emperor Medal will soon be known to them?
What is it...
In the direction of Shendu, Yun Yan looked at Yu Cang on the stage with a somewhat sad expression.
This Flame Emperor Medal... he would never be able to obtain it in his lifetime, but unexpectedly, a young man actually got it... The gap between people is really exaggerated.
Even a senior like him, who is already very old, couldn't help but have a flicker of envy in his eyes when looking at the Flame Emperor Medal.
What kind of achievements are worthy of this honor...
Yun Yan thought for a moment.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.
Speaking of which, in Yu Cang’s explanation just now, the method of summoning the Electronic Energy Draining Tower... seemed very vague.
The epic soul cards of the Creator Clan should be difficult to be summoned by superiors, but... in every project I have seen before, the warrior who summoned the Electronic Energy Draining Tower seemed to do it effortlessly, and was even able to maintain the existence of other soul cards.
Moreover, the green aura that appeared during the summoning was something I had never seen before, and it didn't seem like a manifestation of the Soul Card's own abilities...
Could it be?
Yun Yan seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes widened slightly.
New summoning method?
This...if this is true, then being awarded the Flame Emperor Medal seems understandable.
Hiss, no, after it’s over, Yu Cang must be invited to visit the capital of gods!
…
Yu Cang stood on the stage, accepting all the attention and applause.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and could hardly control himself.
He even had an urge to go back immediately after it was over, at least to perfect the synchronization first, so as to be worthy of this medal.
I have to say that this kind of honor can easily make people excited.
After awarding the medals, Jiangshan brought a tray from the side, opened the red cloth on it, and revealed a piece of dim light crystal.
Obviously, this piece of ghostly glow crystal is the result of careful selection. Compared with ordinary ghostly glow crystals, this one has a deeper color and the light it naturally emits is softer and more stable.
This piece of dim light crystal was carved into a trophy-like shape, placed on a base, and handed to Yu Cang.
…
The report meeting ended like this.
Yu Cang walked out of the auditorium, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed.
In the distance, many people wanted to take this opportunity to come over and meet Yu Cang, the young recipient of the Flame Emperor Medal, but they were all stopped by Lei Wanqing's men.
After finally finishing the major armament overhaul, Yu Cang didn't want to spend any more energy on socializing at this time, so he quickly got on a military vehicle and returned to the base.
However, although Lei Wanqing stopped most of the people, he still let one person in.
This person is not a big boss from any faction, but...Miao Xue.
Yu Cang stood at the entrance of the stronghold, staring at the two people in front of him in a daze.
He knew both of them. One of them was Miao Xue, the person in charge of Miaodu, and the one next to Miao Xue was the one who wanted to put a curse on him that day, right?
Yu Cang turned his head and looked at Lei Wanqing with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but be speechless.
"Why do you have such an expression?" Lei Wanqing patted Yu Cang's shoulder. "I won't get involved in how you young people get along with each other in private. Go out and have fun. Be careful on the road."
After saying that, Lei Wanqing didn't even give Yu Cang a chance to speak. He just patted his butt and left.
Yu Cang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Hello, um."
A voice came from the front. Yu Cang turned around and saw Miao Xue extending her hand to him.
Miao Xue was still wearing the Miao costume she had worn in the auditorium. The layers of silver jewelry swayed gently in the evening breeze, jingling against her delicate skin.
Silver jewelry is very white and shiny. When worn by most people, it will make their skin look worse. But on Miao Xue, it only makes her smile look more sincere and pure.
"I don't think we've officially met before. My name is Miao Xue, and I'm from Miaodu. I'm good at..." Miao Xue chuckled, "I'm good at making cards and casting spells, but don't worry, I won't cast spells on my friends."
Hearing this, Yu Cang also smiled and then held the hand that Miao Xue extended.
"Hello, my name is Yu Cang, and I'm from the ancient capital."
After a gentle shake, Yu Cang withdrew his hand.
Mm, her hands are soft and tender. But they don't feel as strong as... Gu Jieshuang's.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Yu Cang asked.
"Oh, right." Miao Xue quickly pulled over Miao Feng, who was standing aside with his arms folded, looking very strong. "This is my second brother, Miao Feng. We're here today to apologize to you."
Miao Feng curled his lips, seemingly dissatisfied, but feeling the increasingly forceful little hand on his arm, he nodded in compromise and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, Yu Cang, I was wrong to try to put a curse on you that day..."
"It's okay, I don't mind." Yu Cang smiled, "It's just fair competition, it's nothing."
Miao Feng opened his mouth and was about to say something when Miao Xue took over and said, "But Second Brother feels really guilty and insisted on apologizing to you. Even though he has a lot of things to do in the army tonight, he still dragged me over."
"Really? Brother Miao Feng, military matters are more important. Don't let me delay you."
Miao Feng's mouth twitched slightly.
The major military reforms are over, so what is there in the army for him to be busy with?
However, he caught a glimpse of his younger sister's increasingly dangerous eyes from the corner of his eye, and he could only sigh. His gaze lingered on Yu Cang for a moment, and he said, "Yeah, I still have things to do... I won't disturb you two anymore, I'll be leaving first, please be careful on the road..."
Miao Feng shook his head and sighed.
He turned and left.
Miao Xue's smile seemed to become more natural. She leaned closer and said, "Yu Cang, that day at the outpost, I really just wanted to get to know you. I didn't mean anything else... and I didn't intend to cast a spell on you! I swear!"
Seeing her like this, Yu Cang couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I believe you."
"That's good, that's good." Miao Xue patted her chest, and the silver jewelry jingled, making a series of pleasant sounds.
Yu Cang picked up his personal terminal and checked the time: "Then what's next..."
"Let's go get some midnight snacks next?" Miao Xue clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling. "I found a really delicious stall a few days ago. How about it? Want to try it together? Come on, I'll take you there!"
"...No." Yu Cang shook his head. "I don't have the habit of eating midnight snacks. Besides, you've been busy with the military upgrade for three consecutive days. You must be tired. You should go back and rest early."
"Then...uh?" Miao Xue was stunned.
She looked into Yu Cang's eyes and blinked, but Yu Cang's expression always had a calm smile, as if he had no distracting thoughts.
Miao Xue pouted slightly, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little lost.
She was a smart person, and as soon as Yu Cang said this, she knew what he meant.
"Well... okay." Miao Xue sighed.
She bit her lip lightly for a moment, then raised her head and smiled again: "It's okay... Can we be friends?"
"Can."
"Then let me add your terminal number." Miao Xue took out her personal terminal.
Although she already had Yu Cang's contact information, there was definitely a difference between Yu Cang adding her personally and her adding him suddenly.
After adding the friend, Miao Xue put away her personal terminal and took out a soul card from her clothes.
"Here, this is for you, as a gift for our first meeting!"
"This is..." Yu Cang took the soul card and raised his brows slightly after reading the words on it. "Mustard Seed Flying Gu?"
"Yeah..." Miao Xue took a few steps back, carefully examining Yu Cang's face before saying with a smile, "I heard you're participating in the National College League? ... To be honest, I don't like that Duan Feng either. If this Soul Card can help, why not take it with you and give Duan Feng a good beating? How about that?"
"Hmm...Okay." Yu Cang smiled, "Thank you for the gift. Then I..."
Yu Cang touched his clothes, but didn't find anything that could be used as a gift.
At this time, Miao Xue had already turned around.
"Then I'm leaving." Miao Xue waved her hand. "As for the return gift... don't worry. I don't want a gift without any thought~"
…
After turning around, Miao Xue couldn't help but pout.
Damn it...
Although she has never been in a relationship since she was a child, she is quite confident in her charm!
I've never been in a relationship, just because my standards are so high.
But she didn't expect that after finally meeting an outstanding peer who could make her heart beat...how could she fail so easily!
So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!
However, after being rejected by Yu Cang, Miao Xue's curiosity and affection for him became even stronger. Even now, when she was walking on the street, she subconsciously began to imagine when they would meet next time.
--wrong!
She shook her head violently.
Miao Xue naturally knew that this was due to the impact of the psychological gap, so she took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that were stirring in her heart.
Never mind, let’s go back to the base first.
After turning an intersection, Miao Xue suddenly stopped.
She turned her head stiffly...only to see Miao Feng hiding stealthily behind a trash can, looking at her with a subtle look.
Miao Xue couldn't help but slap her forehead.
"...Don't hide. Do you think I haven't seen you yet?"
"...Hehe." Miao Feng moved out from behind the trash can and said with a wry smile, "Um...I just asked my eldest brother, and there's nothing for me to do in the military camp for now."
Miao Xue: “…”
"Uh..." Miao Feng saw Miao Xue's slightly lost expression, blinked, and said tentatively, "Little sister... I'm free, how about we go get a midnight snack? I really want to try that stall you mentioned..."
Miao Xue's brows frowned and then relaxed, and after a while, she seemed to be laughing out of anger.
She said angrily, "What are you eating? You only know how to eat. You said you are an adult and alone, but you are lying behind a trash can? Don't you think it's dirty?"
"Hehe...I'm just worried about you." Seeing Miao Xue like this, Miao Feng felt relieved.
Great, my little sister is back to normal!
Seeing his little sister's behavior just now, he really felt uncomfortable all over.
He trotted over to Miao Xue and was about to say something when she pushed him away in disgust: "Don't come near me... Can't you smell the rotten smell of the trash can on you..."
"Let's go, go back quickly, otherwise big brother will be worried."
Miao Xue snorted, pushed a few times, and then ignored it and walked side by side with Miao Feng on the road.
The evening breeze blew gently, and the silver jewelry jingled.
After a moment of silence.
"I'll order takeout when we get back...but you have to take a shower first."
“Okay, okay!”
…
Watching Miao Xue leave his sight, Yu Cang smiled gently.
He could naturally see what Miao Xue was thinking.
To be honest, Miao Xue is very beautiful.
He has a good personality too.
But unfortunately, he had no extra promises to give away.
Although he and Gu Jieshuang are still in a formal relationship, since he has already made an appointment with her, he will not let her wait in vain.
And, what's more.
Yu Cang turned around, and the two little heads immediately shrank back into the corner.
He smiled helplessly, put away the mustard seed flying Gu, and walked closer quietly.
"What are you two doing?"
Behind the corner, Lin Yunqing and Qi'er were standing there.
"Ah?" Lin Yunqing pretended to be confused.
"Ah..." Qi'er blinked his big eyes.
Suddenly, Ye Lai in the girl's arms spread its wings and flew to Yu Cang's shoulder. Its wings were gently folded, and a faint smile seemed to appear at the corner of its mouth.
"The owner of this body, Lin Yunqing, is taking pictures."
Yu Cang immediately looked over: "Hmm?"
"Um..." Lin Yunqing quickly put his personal terminal behind him and shifted his gaze to the side. "Today... the night is beautiful today. I came out to take some pictures."
"Really? Let me see."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Lin Yunqing quietly shifted her gaze back, but seeing that Yu Cang was still looking at her, she quickly looked away.
After a while.
"Okay, okay, I'll show it to you." Lin Yunqing sighed and could only take out the personal terminal hidden behind him.
Yu Cang took it and took a look.
Wow.
Each and every one of them was a photo of him and Miao Xue standing together… The night view was indeed beautiful.
However, this perspective...
So short, was this really taken by Lin Yunqing?
Yu Cang squatted down and his eyes fell on Qi'er.
"Qi'er, tell me, who took this photo?"
"Yes..." The girl swallowed, her expression struggling, as if she was going through a life decision.
At this time.
A doll suddenly jumped down from the girl's shoulder and said, "Master, it was the Weeping Girl who did it!"
There was clearly no expression on the doll's face, but Yu Cang inexplicably felt a fearless spirit from it.
Yu Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still deliberately said seriously: "Really? Is it really you? Then I will punish you..."
The weeping girl nodded vigorously: "Yes, it's all me..."
"No!" Qi'er finally made her life decision. She picked up the sobbing girl and said seriously, "Actually, it was Qi'er who took the photo. If you want to punish me, then punish Qi'er!"
After saying that, Qi'er closed his eyes tightly.
Yu Cang smiled, stretched out his finger, and lightly tapped Qi'er on the forehead.
"Hmm!" The girl's head shrank, but she didn't retreat.
"Alright Qi'er...but why are you taking these pictures?"
"This." Qi'er opened his eyes and saw that Yu Cang had put his fingers away, so he turned back and said, "I want to... send it to Sister Jie Shuang... Brother, I don't want you and sister to be separated."
Yu Cang smiled and sighed. He touched the girl's head and said, "Qi'er, don't you believe your brother?"
"No! I just want my sister to care about you a little more..."
"Posting photos privately without any context will only exacerbate conflicts and cause unnecessary misunderstandings," Yu Cang said. "If you have anything to say, just say it openly."
"Hmm... Qi'er knows he's wrong... Then Qi'er will delete the photo right now..."
"It's okay, keep it." Yu Cang stood up. "The photos are very nice. It would be nice to let Jie Shuang see them. I will explain it clearly when I get back."
"Okay..." Qi'er breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "Brother... I don't like that sister."
"Hmm? Why?"
"That sister is so pretentious... Her personality is obviously not like that."
Qi'er was already able to sense emotions to a certain extent, and now there was a crying girl. Miao Xue couldn't hide her thoughts in front of these two girls at all.
Yu Cang smiled and said, "It's normal. In front of the person you like, you will definitely hide yourself a little."
"Is that so..." Qi'er fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said, "But Qi'er also likes brother. Qi'er has never hidden anything from brother!"
"Well..." Yu Cang didn't know how to explain, "Well... just treat her as special. It doesn't matter. It's not important."
"Okay!" Qi'er nodded vigorously. Seeing Yu Cang already walking towards the stronghold, she hurriedly followed him and said, "But brother, you haven't punished Qi'er yet."
"The punishment is over."
"Ah? Does that count? But Qi'er didn't feel any pain. Before..." The girl opened her mouth but didn't say the rest of the words. Instead, she changed the subject to say, "It doesn't count. Qi'er did something wrong and hasn't been punished yet!"
"Well... then I'll punish you by not allowing you to hold my hand for three days."
"Huh?" The girl was startled, her pupils suddenly dilated. "So... so long?"
"One day then."
"One day, one day...Okay! Qi'er accepts the punishment!"
"Um, senior." Lin Yunqing felt a little embarrassed at this time, "I'm sorry, I also followed Qi'er's nonsense..."
"You'll be punished for one day too."
“……?”
“No studying allowed for a day.”
"Ah..." Lin Yunqing looked embarrassed.
