Chapter 120 Returning to the Military Region and Meeting Lei Wanqing
"The way that wild beast controls the wild crystal is really worrying." Yu Cang fell into thought.
Although, today it simply controlled the wild crystal to fly into its hands, but who knows if it can do more?
You know, there is a lot of energy contained in the wild crystal. Not to mention anything else, just simply detonating it can cause a lot of trouble.
Although the properties of the wild crystal are very stable and it has never exploded no matter how much stimulation it is subjected to, and it is fine even if it is ground into powder, the abilities of the wild beast are ever-changing, and who knows if it can do this.
Moreover, wild crystal dust can play a great role in the manufacture of soul cards. It has long been circulated everywhere in the market, and this is difficult to control.
but……
Yu Cang thought again of the wild beast's slightly surprised reaction at that time.
At first, it should have wanted to take away the wild crystal in Captain Wan's reaction armor... but for some reason, it failed to do so.
Is it because of the Absolute Pressure Lock?
It can't control the boosted wild crystal?
Yu Cang felt that the possibility was not low.
After all, it appeared at the beginning when he was trying to increase the pressure of the giant wild crystal, and it was saying something like "Who is coveting my treasure?" There is definitely a connection between the two.
"Boss..." Gu Jieshuang hesitated and said, "You said... that guy, is he really a wild beast?"
"Hmm?" Yu Cang raised his brows. "The army's wild beast detectors have exploded. It must be a wild beast."
"But that hand is clearly a human's hand." Gu Jieshuang frowned. "Spiritual beasts infected by the Desolate usually retain most of their original characteristics... Even if it's a Desolate beast, maybe it was infected by a human... Could it be the 'Desolate Man' that the boss is worried about?"
"..." Yu Cang was silent.
He was not surprised to see the Desolate People. After all, he had seen them in the Fire Star Club. The Youhuang Sect must be secretly researching this.
But... the fact that the savages are so intelligent is a bit terrifying when you think about it.
"...Forget it, let's not think about it anymore." Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief, "Let the old man and the others worry about these things. We just need to give them the information."
"That's right." Gu Jieshuang smiled.
At this time.
The door suddenly opened and Jiang Ya, who had been strolling outside, came back.
As soon as she entered the room, she just glanced casually at the living room and found Yu Cang and the other person sitting at one end of the sofa, "cuddling" together.
Because of Qi'er, the distance between the two of them is indeed closer now.
For a moment, Jiang Ya felt as if a breath of air hit her forehead. Her face twitched as she took a breath, and she didn't know what expression to make.
Could you two please tone it down a bit?
The sofa is so big, do we have to sit together?
Jiang Ya just felt that today was probably the darkest day in her life.
Not only did the goddess run off with someone else, but that person couldn't even beat her...
"I'm going upstairs."
Out of sight, out of mind. Jiang Ya ran upstairs angrily.
There were only two guest rooms in Gu Jieshuang's house. Qi'er was arranged to sleep in Gu Jieshuang's room, and Yu Cang was assigned one room. So, Jiang Ya could only sleep in the same room with Lin Yunqing.
When she arrived at the door of the room, Jiang Ya looked up.
Is the light off in the room?
It seems that the guy named Lin Yunqing has also gone out.
You definitely don’t want to eat this bowl of dog food!
Jiang Ya clenched her fists, but immediately lost her temper.
It's over, it's all over.
The sweet and soft Shuangshuang finally went to get close to someone else.
Thinking of this, she pushed open the door and was about to turn on the light, but suddenly she found a figure sitting by the window!
She suddenly shuddered and turned on the light in a panic: "Who!"
Placing her hand on the card bag, Jiang Ya was ready to activate the soul card to subdue the uninvited guest, but then she found that the figure seemed somewhat familiar.
Uh...it seems to be Lin Yunqing?
Seeing Lin Yunqing's slightly puzzled look, Jiang Ya put away the Soul Card awkwardly and laughed: "Oh, so it's you... Why didn't you turn on the light? You scared me."
"There is light, that's enough." Lin Yunqing turned his gaze back to the materials in his hand.
Jiang Ya then discovered that Lin Yunqing had placed his personal terminal on the edge of the table, and was using this faint light to look at the pile of experimental data.
"Um... you're so hardworking." Jiang Ya calmed down a little. She closed the door and walked into the house. "But it will hurt your eyes if you don't turn on the light... you wear glasses."
"Proper darkness helps me keep thinking." Lin Yunqing didn't look up. "It's just a loss of eyesight, an acceptable price."
"Ah...Is that so?" Jiang Ya was stunned by Lin Yunqing's aura. She laughed dryly and quietly ran to the side and sat down on her bed. "Then...shall I turn off the light for you?"
"No need, the thinking is over." Lin Yunqing stood up and sorted out all the data in his hand.
Just when Jiang Ya thought she was going to take a break, she saw... Lin Yunqing directly picked up the electronic terminal and opened a document.
At first, Jiang Ya thought it was some study material, so she quietly stretched her neck to secretly see if it was something she had seen before.
But when I looked closely, I realized...this is not a paper!
It’s really learning material!
"Um, Lin Yunqing... don't you even take a break?"
“Studying is rest for me.”
"Oh..." Jiang Ya could only say "oh" and hugged her knees on the bed.
Is this the world of academic tyrants?
Jiang Ya also took out her personal terminal, intending to relax, but for some reason, with such a hardworking guy like Lin Yunqing next to her, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable all over. Even the good articles that she could read over and over again without getting tired of them were no longer interesting to her.
Although she didn't want to disturb Lin Yunqing's studies, after a while, she couldn't help it. She tiptoed behind Lin Yunqing and stuck her head out to see what Lin Yunqing was learning.
"...the principle and nature of the creation of the alien space channel?"
"Are you interested too?" Lin Yunqing asked.
"Ah? No, no." Jiang Ya waved her hands quickly, "I'm just a soul card master. I can't understand these... Hey, shouldn't this paper be from the Soul Energy Tool Academy? Why do you want to read it..."
The three major colleges in the ancient capital are the Card Maker College, the Combat College and the Soul Energy Tools College, which cover all disciplines related to soul cards.
"Knowledge is only divided into usefulness and useless, not whether it can be learned." Lin Yunqing stroked his glasses, "Also... as an assistant, it was my fault for not helping Senior. What happened today must not happen again."
Jiang Ya was stunned for a moment before she realized that what Lin Yunqing was talking about was the incident where several people were trapped in front of the passage.
"You are too serious..." Jiang Ya couldn't help but sigh.
To be fair, as a sophomore, it's normal that I can't help in this kind of incident... Just like Jiang Ya, she just lay there without any psychological burden.
But for some reason, looking at Lin Yunqing's serious and meticulous profile, Jiang Ya suddenly felt her breathing become much faster.
Hmm... I suddenly feel that she is so handsome...
etc!
Jiang Ya covered her chest and returned to bed.
No way. No way.
I just had a "breakup" today... If I change my crush like this, wouldn't I seem like a scumbag?
But, but... I can't blame myself! It was Shuangshuang who left me first!
The so-called way to heal a broken heart is to quickly start another relationship. Thinking of this, Jiang Ya's eyes couldn't help but become more determined.
rush!
She quickly stood up, sat on the sliding chair, slid herself to the side of Lin Yunqing, held the back of the chair, and looked at Lin Yunqing with her lovely big eyes:
"Well, sister... Come to think of it, we've been together for so many days, but I still don't have your terminal number... Let's add each other as friends, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Yunqing paused flipping through his personal terminal, then finally raised his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Ya blinked, her eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Yunqing thought for a moment, then suddenly realized:
"You want to chase me?"
"Ah? Eh hey hey?!" Jiang Ya's body suddenly froze in place.
Wait! Are your intentions so obvious?! Impossible! How did you even come up with that?!
Moreover, even if most people thought of it, they would not say it so naturally!
Aren’t you afraid that you’ll feel embarrassed if you guess wrong? Even if you’re not wrong, it’ll still be embarrassing!
I feel so embarrassed now!
Jiang Ya could not help but silently slide back a little, her eyes darting around, and she said in panic: "Um, um... No, no, that's not the case! How could it be... Haha..."
"Oh, I see." Lin Yunqing nodded, and continued to look at his personal terminal.
Her face remained calm, as if she didn't care at all.
On the other side, Jiang Ya looked at Lin Yunqing's attitude and couldn't help but pursed her lips.
What does she mean...
It seems that she doesn't mind what I said... Could it be that she also... But if so, what is her attitude?
In a trance, Jiang Ya felt as if she had been completely controlled by the woman in front of her.
...No, I have to ask clearly! This atmosphere is the best time!
She had originally planned to test the waters slowly, but now, her blood was boiling, and she blurted out, "Um... you guessed right!"
"Huh?" Lin Yunqing turned his head again in confusion.
Jiang Ya came close and asked seriously, "Can you date me?"
After saying this, Jiang Ya felt her face getting hot, but she did not back down. She looked at Lin Yunqing's eyes very seriously, hoping to see something from them.
But she was disappointed. Lin Yunqing's eyes were very calm, with nothing in them.
"I refuse."
"Ah..." Jiang Ya froze, she pursed her lips, her expression a little gloomy.
Lin Yunqing put down his personal terminal, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't need a partner, but if I must have one, I don't care about the person's gender. There's only one thing—I hope he can help me achieve my career, and he must be the best person I've ever met."
Jiang Ya's eyes regained some expression: "Then the best person you have ever met is..."
"Yu Cang." Lin Yunqing said calmly, "If you can achieve something that surpasses Yu Cang, I don't mind agreeing to your request - but, this is impossible."
"Him?" Jiang Ya's eyes widened. "Why would he..."
"Jiang Ya, don't use conjecture to measure other people's achievements." Lin Yunqing said, "Senior is even better than you think. Unless something unexpected happens, I probably won't meet anyone of my age who is better than him."
"..." Jiang Ya was silenced by Lin Yunqing's words. After a moment, she said, "If I really tell you what you said, you will be alone for the rest of your life."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this." Lin Yunqing turned his gaze back to his personal terminal.
"Uh..." Jiang Ya puffed out her cheeks, said nothing, and just returned to her bed silently.
Yu Cang...Why is it you again, Yu Cang!
It’s fine if you steal my Shuangshuang, but why do you want to steal Yunqing who is not even mine!
That’s too much!
She finally discovered that although Lin Yunqing appeared to be cold and aloof, not caring about anything, he was actually a top Yu Cangchui in secret!
…
Soon, Gu's mother prepared dinner and everyone took their seats one by one.
At the dinner table, Mother Gu had silver hair, deep wrinkles on her face while she talked and laughed, and her smile was very kind. She looked like an ordinary housewife. Who could have imagined that she almost killed a high-ranking heirloom with a sword in the afternoon?
Whenever Yu Cang thought of the grandeur that was like that of an emperor's journey, he felt a sense of disappointment.
After dinner, Yu Cang rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help clean up the dishes. This time, Gu's mother did not refuse.
But, she followed Yu Cang into the kitchen.
In front of the faucet, Yu Cang was scrubbing the dishes in his hands meticulously. He looked like he was working seriously, but in fact, he was starting to panic.
Help, the gaze behind me is so scary!
Auntie shouldn't kill herself, right? No way...
The air was silent for a moment, with only the occasional sound of dishes colliding in Yu Cang's hands.
Suddenly, Gu Zhihan said:
"Xiao Cang...what is your relationship with my daughter?"
"Ah?" Yu Cang shuddered and said guiltily, "It's... just friends."
"...Jie Shuang has told me everything, so you don't have to hide it."
"This..." Yu Cang swallowed.
But, they are really friends...so what did Gu Jieshuang say to my aunt? Why didn't she tell me?
He didn't know how to respond, so he could only wash the dishes more seriously.
After a while, Gu Zhihan said, "I heard that you want to find a way to cure Gu's hypothermia?"
"...Yes, that is the plan."
"Don't waste your time on this." Gu Zhihan's tone was quite calm. "You have good talent. No matter which path you take, you can go very far. If you don't see any hope in this, just let it go."
Yu Cang's heart tightened, and he said, "Auntie, I want to..."
"No need." Gu Zhihan's tone seemed to carry a hint of smile. "In the last few years, do something else with Jie Shuang. Talking too much nonsense will only give her unrealistic hopes. Even taking risks in dangerous places is better than this... Remember my terminal number. If you encounter danger in the future, you can come to me."
"Ah?" Yu Cang turned his head, only to see Gu Zhihan had already pushed the door and left.
Yu Cang blinked on the spot.
So I am... recognized?
He couldn't help but chuckle.
What... I'm under so much pressure.
Yu Cang felt as if a huge stone in his heart had suddenly fallen to the ground, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
but.
"This isn't some unrealistic hope." Yu Cang glanced at the entry recorder, the countdown on which was about to end. "I do have a cheat..."
…
After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room for a while and then went back to their rooms.
Gu Jieshuang was reluctant to leave. She had just confirmed her relationship with Yu Cang today and was just about to have a good chat with him in her new identity, but seeing that Yu Cang was also very tired, she tactfully took Qi'er back to the room.
Speaking of which, today is all thanks to Qi'er!
Gu Jieshuang couldn't help but rub Qi'er's little head.
If it weren't for Qi'er's help, there's no telling how long the fight between the two of them would have lasted.
Back in the room, Gu Jieshuang lay on the bed. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something.
Oh right! Do I still owe my boss money?
This... Now that the relationship is almost confirmed, what about my debt...
Gu Jieshuang shook her head violently.
No way! Let’s put things in perspective! How can I delay paying the money I owe my boss?
Keep working on it! You have to pay back the money before you officially confirm the relationship!
Thinking of this, Gu Jieshuang immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate, leaving Qi'er alone beside him, looking puzzled.
…
Yu Cang returned to his room, and just in time, the countdown on the entry recorder had finished.
The entry extraction is complete, and the epic entry is obtained: [Seclusion], the rare entry: [Remnant Vein], and the common entry: [Loyalty]
This entry...
Yu Cang glanced back and forth in the entry library and had some ideas in his mind.
However, I don’t have any blank soul cards on hand, so I’d better wait until I get back.
Yu Cang tried to extract the information from the house again, but only got a ten-minute countdown. After extracting it, he found an ordinary entry: [End of the Road].
It looks like it should be a similar entry to [Jedi].
You can still extract epics in broad daylight...
After thinking about it, Yu Cang seemed to understand something.
This is probably because the entries extracted from the house are the same as those extracted from the village.
Fortunately, Yu Cang was very satisfied with the fact that he had obtained two epic entries today.
It’s a pity that... I couldn’t extract it from Gu Zhihan once.
Such powerful combat capability will surely become a legend!
However, time is running out now. They have to return to the barracks early tomorrow morning. Now they are following the army and it is impossible for them to run around without permission.
But there is no need to rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, even if he has the legendary level now, he cannot implant it.
After the snow mountain, Yu Cang tried several times. Even if he replicated the conditions of Ye Lai's summons, he never encountered such a high success rate for implanting legendary entries.
Now, you still have to rely on luck to implant legendary entries.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang returned to bed and prepared to sleep.
At night, he seemed to hear many footsteps outside the window, but he was sleeping so soundly that he did not wake up.
But it was pulled up very early.
Yu Cang looked at the time and it was only four o'clock.
"Let's go, we have to go back." Wan Quan's face was full of fatigue, but his eyes were still bright.
"What's wrong, Captain Wan?" Yu Cang asked in confusion.
"It's nothing serious. The military district has sent professional troops to take over the space debris. We have nothing to do here." Wan Quan smiled. "Besides, Commander Lei wants to see you."
"...Okay, that's expected." Yu Cang smiled.
He had told Ren Zheng his guess yesterday, and it seemed that Lei Wanqing also knew about it.
Then go back.
Qi'er was still drowsy when she was called up. It was too early for her to get up.
The girl, half asleep and half awake, strolled to Yu Cang's feet, swaying with her eyes squinted. Seeing this, Yu Cang picked up the girl. Sure enough, as soon as she was in Yu Cang's arms, Qi'er immediately fell asleep again.
"Boss." Gu Jieshuang was also disturbed by the noise, but she didn't care. "Come on, I wish you a good ranking in the Armament Reform!"
Yu Cang nodded: "Don't worry, I will...see you in a few days."
"Goodbye, boss. I will work hard too!" Gu Jieshuang clenched his fists.
On the way back, Yu Cang still used the scaly plague beast as a means of transportation.
In fact, it would be faster to wear individual reactive armor, since there is no shortage of Huang Jing anyway. But in that case, Qi'er might not be able to catch up on her sleep in his arms.
Yu Cang didn't want to see dark circles on Qi'er's cute little face.
After returning to the military camp, Yu Cangdu was taken to the door of an office before he had time to go back to the dormitory for a while.
A guard stopped him and said, "Hello, please give me all the soul cards you have for the time being."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang raised his eyebrows, a little hesitant.
He understood that such rules were necessary for safety reasons.
What he was thinking was... do Qi'er and Ye Lai also need to be handed over?
Looking at Qi'er who was still sleeping in his arms, Yu Cang felt something was wrong.
Just when he didn't know how to explain, a voice suddenly came from the office.
"No need, just let him in."
Without any hesitation, the guard immediately turned around, stood at attention, and saluted the door.
"yes!"
Then he opened the door for Yu Cang.
"Come in."
"……OK, thanks."
After entering the house, Yu Cang finally saw Lei Wanqing, the man who often appeared in Ren Zheng's mouth.
He was wearing a military uniform, with a head of refined short gray hair standing up like steel needles. Although it was obvious that he was not young, his eyes were very bright, and there was no sign of old age in his breathing.
When he saw the person coming, he put down a document in his hand and looked up.
"It's Yu Cang, right?" Lei Wanqing's voice resonated loudly, like a muffled thunder. "Sit down... boy, I've heard Ren Zheng mention you many times, and today, we finally meet."
Yu Cang was sitting on a chair nearby, and he also smiled when he heard this.
"I've also heard Grandpa Ren Zheng mention you many times."
Yu Cang behaved very well. In front of outsiders of the same generation as Ren Zheng, he didn't mind acting a little better and giving Ren Zheng some face.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lei Wanqing snorted.
"He mentioned me many times? Humph, I knew it, this old guy has scolded me a lot in private!"
Yu Cang: "..."
Uh... mentioning you means scolding you...
...You are quite confident.
