Chapter 274 Fireworks in the World
Wei Huan came back from the Dark Beast Plane and stayed in the Chaos Space for two days.
The first day was a forced rest, the second day focused on the newly acquired Book of Death and Dark Source, and on the third day they waited until Mu Zhong had made all the arrangements before they decided to return.
During this period, everyone, including Xiong Yi who was not on the chariot, was forbidden to return to Blue Star. They had to wait for Wei Huan to sort out the supplies before proceeding to the next step.
As for the fact that Wei Huan and the others had returned, they had to report their safety to the outside world, but they didn't say anything else. Therefore, the outside world only knew that they had returned safely, and didn't know what they had gained this time.
Now Wei Huan and the others have sorted everything out and returned with a huge load of supplies to the place where they first entered the challenge world.
Blue Star, Azure Dragon Legion, Challenge Room.
The "Challenge Room" is a new type of architectural space that appears after the advent of the Challenge World. It is designed to facilitate the management of challengers and ensure that challengers can enter and exit the Challenge World smoothly and safely without accidentally injuring others.
Since the Challenge Room, the beacons on the street have disappeared.
Everyone in Daxia will choose to enter the challenge world from their own room, or pay to enter from the challenge room. After all, the challenge room is monitored by a dedicated person. If someone does not return for a period of time, someone will be arranged to enter the challenge world to search for them. Many people have been rescued in this way.
The challenge army of the Daxia Legion enters and exits the challenge world in the challenge room for the same reason, which is to facilitate monitoring and rescue by relevant personnel. Of course, after returning from the challenge world, they can provide the first-time care for the discomfort caused by traveling between the two worlds.
Among them, there is a very special challenge room in the Daxia Qinglong Legion.
Initially, they had only a few tables and chairs in a separate room, but later, as the crowd grew, they piled up to over thirty. But soon, the room couldn't accommodate the ever-increasing crowd, so they moved to the challenge room the Azure Dragon Legion had prepared for the frontline pioneers.
However, even the first-line challenge room could not accommodate all the people in the car soon, so the Qinglong Army renovated and expanded a training base and finally had a challenge room that could accommodate a thousand people.
This challenge room is extremely confidential and is a highly confidential restricted area in the Daxia military base. On weekdays, only the highest-ranking members of the legion and those who are solely responsible for this project can enter and exit. It is tightly blocked three miles away.
In the past few days, there are many more people on duty here than in the past, because news of their return came out a few days ago, but because the other side blocked the information, there has been no exact time.
It doesn't matter. It is a great honor to be able to join the team of this great human hero. It doesn't matter how long it takes to wait for their triumphant return.
It was time to change shifts again this afternoon. Two teams of more than 20 people walked into this challenge room which was as big as a factory building.
The lighting inside was just right; the overhead lights weren't dim or glaring. Square rugs were neatly laid out on the floor, with a soft sofa and coffee table placed at the edges. A large empty space was left in the middle, and a blue beacon floated in each.
Challengers will leave a beacon when they enter the challenge world, which also means that they will return here.
There are a total of one thousand areas with almost identical layouts, but some do not have floating beacons.
After the staff entered, they carefully cleaned the furnishings and placed water and snacks.
These are the new jobs added in the past few days. Although they are removed and replaced by new ones before anyone can use them, everyone here is worth this waste and they should enjoy the best treatment.
Among them, there are several special spaces.
They were separated into separate rooms, which were like a spacious living room, with all the necessary necessities such as furniture, food, drinking water, etc.
A lady in a legion uniform pushed a cart in, wiped the tables, chairs and benches, replaced the food with the freshest ones, and finally opened the wardrobe to take out the autumn clothes and put on thick winter clothes.
The owner of this house had just entered autumn when he last set foot here. The temperature was still a bit hot during the day, but in the blink of an eye, the temperature outside dropped to below zero. Even though the challenger's powerful body did not care about the temperature change outside, he always had to integrate into the environment after returning to Blue Star. Therefore, he paid attention to details. More than 20 sets of winter clothes were hung in the closet, including daily wear, legion uniforms, and party wear, with different colors and fashionable styles. Of course, the prices were also customized and carefully tailored.
After a careful inspection, the woman, whose military rank was still that of a lieutenant, was putting the shoes away and about to close the cabinet door when she heard a sudden noise behind her.
In this extremely quiet environment, even the slightest footsteps and the sound of fabric rubbing against each other can be clearly heard.
"What's wrong?"
The female lieutenant thought it was a colleague coming over, so she turned around and asked.
Until she saw the person who appeared in the room, all her senses seemed to be plundered, and her brain and body were stuck as they shouldn't be.
This is an extremely abrupt outfit that is out of place with the legion.
A black robe, seemingly simply wrapped around the body, but because of its unique texture, it appears extremely expensive and elegant. Although it seems to have no tailoring, it makes the man in front of him look tall and strong, with a slender figure and endless power.
He wore a black crown of thorns on his head, looking noble and extremely difficult to mess with. What was even more frightening was his severely disfigured face, as if it had been splashed with strong acid, melting the skin into a ball and causing his facial features to be extremely distorted. One side of his mouth had no skin, revealing his terrifying gums.
Such appearance, such clothing, coupled with the huge three-meter-high sickle on his back, made people think of seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
The female lieutenant used a lot of effort to prevent herself from screaming.
Then he adjusted his mentality extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the fear in his eyes completely disappeared.
Of course, it was because she was in charge of tidying up the room and had received relevant training. She knew very well that the powerful leader admired and revered by outsiders was actually hiding hurt and suffering tremendous pain at all times.
These scars are not an element of fear that makes the world afraid, but a medal of his great military achievement.
"Colonel Wei, you're back!" The female lieutenant's face showed genuine joy, her eyes curved with a smile, and she said, "It's just the right time. The food and water have just been replaced with the freshest, and your clothes have been taken care of. Do you need to change?"
Wei Huan stood in the still unfamiliar room, taking a moment to adjust. Even though he had been in and out of this place several times, he still felt a little uncomfortable returning so suddenly, especially when there were people in the room. After being accustomed to the crises and bloodshed that challenged the world, for a moment he felt a desire to kill.
Of course, he knew what he was doing.
So after quickly calming down, Wei Huan said to the woman in charge of his room, "No thanks, I'm leaving right away."
"Okay." The female lieutenant nodded and quickly stood up and said, "I'll contact the outside for you. Someone will be here to pick you up soon. You can rest first."
Wei Huan nodded.
During this conversation, his personal system resumed operation, and the virtual light swept over him, not only disguising the injuries on his face, but also quickly transforming the pseudo-god-level and diamond-grade clothes on his body into legion uniform.
After waiting until there was no one in the room, Wei Huan reached out and touched the Mofidi Ring behind him, putting it into his personal space to facilitate his next actions on Blue Star.
After doing all this, he did not rest in the room, but walked out of the room.
As soon as he came out, he saw Mu Zhong walking out from the side door.
Their rooms were next to each other, and there was actually a connecting door in the middle, but it had never been used.
Mu Zhong, who was also wearing a virtual legion uniform, stood at the door and smiled. Lan Zhi looked at him like a jade tree, which made Wei Huan's eyes light up.
Back in Challenge University, when Mu Zhong was speaking in the auditorium as a student representative, Wei Huan felt that Mu Zhong was a man who was extremely suitable to wear a uniform. He had an upright temperament, handsome appearance, and a hint of determination in his eyes. He was like a lotus growing on a snow-capped mountain, with a kind of otherworldly temperament.
Wei Huan looked at him, and he walked over and stood within his reach, smiling.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhong asked.
Wei Huan said, "Call everyone out and gather."
"Okay, I'll contact the Legion to come over."
"good."
After a few words, the two of them went towards the gate.
The locations of their rooms are specially arranged, neither too far nor too close to the door. The rooms of the main members are all passing by along the way. Although the beacons of Xu Qingqiang, Captain Xue and others are not built into houses, they are also blocked by screens to create separate spaces.
At this moment, when Wei Huan and the others walked over, these main players came out one after another and gathered around them.
For a moment, all I could hear was the rustling sound of footsteps, and no one spoke.
However, through the headphones they carried with them, Iron Heart was giving orders on behalf of Mu Zhong, challenging the legion's orders and prohibitions. As members of the leader's chariot, they had to set a good example.
Soon, Wei Huan walked out of the base and came outside.
The weather outside was very cold, with temperatures below zero and thick clouds in the sky. It must have snowed in other places, but the snow here was extremely clean.
Wei Huan stood there for a minute. When seven or eight cars hurriedly drove in from the gate, he turned around and saw that all the more than 900 front-line and logistics corps crew members, including researchers, scholars, etc. were lined up neatly in different columns. Only an extremely respected old man like Mr. Ju did not join the team, but he was also present.
This time, everyone returned, except Dou Lin, who still couldn't find the beacon, and Jacques, whose beacon was still in Osham. Everyone else returned.
This was a moment of honor, so naturally everyone had to be present. Even though most of them didn't seem to be directly involved in the battle, the chariot's operations would be in chaos without them. Every single one of them played an indispensable role in the past experience and honor.
Captain Xue, as the team leader, shouted slogans and organized the team. Then he looked back and saw seven cars parked in an open space on the side. Commander Chai and several major generals in the base, as long as they were there today, all rushed over as soon as possible.
"Wei Huan!" Commander Chai walked forward with a smile, shook Wei Huan's hand, his eyes full of warmth and kindness.
Wei Huan responded with the same respect and enthusiasm, "Hello, Commander Chai."
After a brief greeting, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong got into Commander Chai's car and headed towards the office building.
After arriving in a relatively private space, Mu Zhong handed the list of materials to Commander Chai. Then everyone noticed that Commander Chai, who got off the car, was like a silly boy who had fallen in love. He had a silly smile on his face the whole time. Anyone who spoke to him would laugh twice, and then as if he had just realized something, he would ask: "Haha, what did you say? Say it again? Haha..."
This "stupid look" quickly spread from person to person, and soon everyone in the entire Qinglong Legion office building became "stupid", slow to react, and liked to smile foolishly.
Today is another day of overtime, but everyone is willing to do it, and this good news spread like wildfire to all the senior executives of Daxia.
A joyous atmosphere, like the New Year, permeated the sky above Daxia.
When people got off work and came out of their companies and schools, they found that the sky, which had been overcast for several days, had dispersed in large numbers without them noticing. The red sun was hanging on the top of the mountain, shining warmly on their bodies.
Mu Zhong and Wei Huan did not stay in the Qinglong Legion base for long. Cousin Mu was in charge of the handover of work. Even Mu Zhong was eager to return home and did not want to be a workaholic anymore.
As for Wei Huan, his existence was not to participate in these trivial tasks, so the two of them were naturally "invited" out enthusiastically by the generals in the legion.
"Go back and rest first, see your family, and prepare for the rank-conferring ceremony in three days. We know you'll be back soon, so we've already made all the arrangements. This rank-conferring ceremony is not just about our Daxia military rank, but also about the entire Blue Star Alliance Army appointing you. Generals from all over the world will arrive in our country to participate. It's a grand occasion, but don't be afraid of the trouble. We should show off when it's time. You are the pillar of our Daxia, the sacred weapon that protects the country. When it's time to show off your sword, we should show it off."
Commander Chai said this as he escorted Wei Huan out of the barracks. He then turned to Mu Zhong and said, "You should be aware that Mr. Mu Huaiguo has been appointed Director of the Great Xia Challenge Material Bureau. This time, there's a lot of material, so it would be easier if you communicate directly with Director Mu. These materials are of great importance, enough for Great Xia to complete the final step of deterring multiple countries on Blue Star. You must be cautious."
Mu nodded. "Yes, I will discuss it carefully with Grandpa. Commander Mu must come back in the next two days."
Commander Chai sent them to the car and watched them leave, with a smile on his face that never fell.
Although diplomacy was not his responsibility, he was well aware that Daxia's diplomacy was in a bit of trouble. Being the "Boss of Blue Star" was not as easy as imagined, especially when other countries were willing to be your younger brothers and "eat" with you, it was very difficult to raise the global combat effectiveness with the strength of one country.
In addition, there are some countries that are not sincere in surrendering, and are trying to take advantage of Daxia's diplomacy. There are also countries like Osam that cannot let go of their former pride and are always trying to find ways to make things difficult for Daxia. All these have put Daxia's diplomacy in a difficult situation.
The things Wei Huan and his team brought back are really great and can solve our urgent needs.
Of course, Daxia does not want to be a money-giving boy who gives away everything. Instead, whether the purse is really full or not will make the diplomatic attitude different and give Daxia more initiative.
In short, since Wei Huan came to Daxia, the country's fortunes have risen and it has grown to its current level, which is a scene that the generations of Daxia people had never imagined ten years ago.
The car carrying Wei Huan and Mu Zhong had already driven far away, so far that they could no longer be seen, but Commander Chai was still smiling to himself.
There is nothing wrong with it. One must adapt to the change of identity, especially when it is an upward advancement. Everyone is prepared for a tough battle.
Wei Huan bringing these things at this time will make it easier for Daxia to grow into a "Blue Star Dragon", and the day of take-off has arrived.
It’s said that it’s easier to get things done by following the boss.
Commander Chai has adapted very well to the change in his current identity, because a big boss can do things that others cannot do and make everyone convinced.
Wei Huan was in the car, listening to Mu Zhong talking about Wei Jinhong.
Mr. Mu just called and talked briefly about the supplies they brought back, and then mentioned Wei Jinhong's return to China and settling him in the house originally prepared for the two of them.
Mu Zhong hung up the phone and said, "What do you think? Is this arrangement okay for my grandfather?"
Wei Huan nodded, but also said: "I don't want to see him."
Mu Zhong laughed: "The place where you live is called the General's Mansion. If you don't go there, then the General's Mansion is no different from the name of a residential complex."
Wei Huan nodded. He understood Mr. Mu's good intentions. The old man had lived longer than he had in two lifetimes, had seen more and thought more thoroughly, and there was nothing wrong with that. Although Wei Jinhong seemed to be living a prosperous life now, it was actually a disguised form of imprisonment. This was the same idea he had originally had; he just wanted to keep him in jail, and the old man, in order to give everyone respect, used the Mu family's wealth to support Wei Jinhong. In fact, he had to thank the old man.
Mu Zhong also knew that Wei Huan didn't care about this, so he smiled and said, "Grandpa is a little worried that he has done too much of this, so he asked me to have a good chat with you. Then I know everything will be fine. Although you don't like to talk, you can see the sincerity of others in your heart and eyes."
Mu Zhong then added, "But Osham's fuss is really inopportune. They think we really lack their resources. If you hadn't wanted a war to break out, Osham wouldn't have gotten the Natural Forest. Now they think this little thing can strangle Daxia. Let them feel that the whole world is taking off, while they are the only ones standing still."
Wei Huan also meant this, saying, "Internal strife is the greatest drain. Technology can catch up, but those who die in battle can never come back. This is the case with the Natural Forest and Jacques' beacon.
Now that this matter is over, the matter of Jacques' beacon and the Xu family father and son should also be over."
"Old Hodgson is a wise man. If he gets confused, the Hodgson family will have young and strong people take over. Josh Meyer and other senior generals of Osham have also made their stance clear. In the sixth-level world, we will cooperate for mutual benefit. No one or any single force can stop this great alliance. This is a general trend and it cannot be stopped."
The two chatted about the current situation. Not everything they said was correct, but they trusted each other so much that they would talk about anything. For some things, only by talking about them could they get closer to the answer.
When they came to their senses, they were already downstairs of the military compound.
The driver and the co-pilot were the service personnel assigned to them. After opening the car door, they followed behind and wanted to go upstairs with them, but were stopped by Mu Zhong.
"Home" is a very strange place that cannot accommodate the presence of any outsider, even if the house is very small, even if they have to do their own work after entering the house, it makes people feel that there should be no outsiders following.
The two of them went upstairs, opened the door and went into the house. The house was quiet and no one came back.
"Muxi is in kindergarten, and my mom has to pick her up before she can come back. So why don't we go to kindergarten this time? They should be on their way by now. I'll go cook something. There's a lot of food in the refrigerator. She must have bought it because she knew we'd be back in a few days. What do you want to eat? I also learned some recipes from Orange Juice when I had some free time."
Mu Zhong rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. Turning around, he saw Wei Huan following him and smiled, "Why? You want to join me, too?"
Wei Huan nodded and said, "I'll wash the vegetables."
Dexterous hands peeled the garlic skins, and the smoke filled the room with the fireworks of life.
When Zhou Xian came back, she saw the two children, who looked like an ordinary couple, busy in the kitchen, talking and laughing.
"Mom, my brothers are home!"
"Yeah." Zhou Xian took her daughter's hand and walked into the kitchen with her, smiling. "Did Xixi call anyone? Xixi, go help. Our Xixi might be doing it now. She can peel garlic and shell peas."
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong stopped what they were doing, one smiled while the other picked up the little girl: "Xixi is back."
The little girl patted her chest, raised her chin high, and said, "Xixi can work now!"
"Hahaha……"
Then the laughter merged with the smell of fireworks, turning into an ordinary scene in the homes of ordinary people on Blue Star.
After dinner, many people came to our house one after another.
There is Old Man Mu, and the officials of the Great Xia Kingdom are all of extremely high status, and are the "top leaders" who control important national departments. Those of lower rank are not qualified to visit them.
Of course, when people come, we treat them well, chat and laugh with them, and occasionally talk about some serious matters. When we think the time is almost up, we say goodbye and leave.
Old Master Mu was the first to come and the last to leave. It was Mu Zhong and Wei Huan who sent him to the car.
Old Master Mu smiled and said, "I saw these supplies and asked them to pass some of them out. I think some people won't be able to sleep tonight. Tell me, this is not an inch. If it had been delayed a day, it wouldn't have gotten to this point."
Mu Zhong said, "When friends come, we have wine; when they come with swords and guns, they are enemies. Since I have made my position, I must pay the price for this decision."
Old Master Mu nodded. "That's right. You've been smart and insightful since you were little. I used to say that extreme wisdom leads to harm, and you did suffer this calamity. Fortunately, you survived it, and good fortune has come. You must cherish the person who changed your destiny."
Mu Zhong turned around to look at Wei Huan, then smiled and said, "I'm very glad that this disaster allowed me to meet him."
Wei Huan didn't say anything, with a faint smile on his lips, and just looked at Mu Zhong deeply.
He was also very glad that this was a time and space with Mu Zhong.
They are all very good.
