Chapter 278 Denton’s True Identity
The camera had long been turned away and was not filming Wei Huan, so naturally no one knew that Wei Huan hardly watched the performance from beginning to end and was meeting with the commanders of various legions.
Josh Meyer of Osham had also arrived. Even though Wei Huan had just caused a scene there, occupying the crucial Starlight Building, the heart of Osham, the changing times meant Osham could no longer afford to indulge in its petty tempers. They had to quickly adjust their mindset and keep up with the trend.
As a result, the show had not been filming Wei Huan, but at this moment the focus suddenly shifted from the performance to Wei Huan, broadcasting a scene where Josh Meyer and Wei Huan shook hands and made peace, and all their previous grudges were gone.
Josh Meyer later learned about this, gave a wry smile, and said to those around him, "If we don't do a good job of security when we get back, there will probably be unrest in the country for a while. Don't be angry, this is normal. If we can't even solve this chaos, we deserve to be eliminated by the times.
Speaking of which, the Xu father and son still escaped despite the siege and search by General Wei and our large number of challengers. I'm afraid we have to be responsible for this mistake, and we need to think carefully about how to solve it.
It's okay, the storms have passed, and the future won't be any worse."
On the other hand, Liu Chengzhi also received news that the Xu family father and son had escaped despite strict surveillance, and their beacons were strictly managed. Presumably, after entering the challenge world this time, they would never come back.
After all, returning to Blue Star would mean being imprisoned.
The world of challenge is so big that even if it is full of dangers, as long as you have the strength, you can still live relatively calmly.
Liu Chengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "The truth behind the accident that killed my uncle has not yet been revealed. It's true that Xu Man attacked me and wanted to get rid of me. Don't let me get any news of them in the Challenge World. Even if I've already reached the Ninth Level World, I'll come back and make them pay!"
Grandma Liu doesn't look kind when she's silent. As the female president who controls the Xinggang Group, her reputation in the industry is completely different from when she's facing her grandson.
She hadn't even said anything to Liu Chengzhi about "forgiveness when you can." Her three children were all dead, leaving only her grandson. Xu Man knew she was alone, yet he still attacked her grandson. This hatred was already enormous.
Grandma Liu said, "That's right. The reason we strive to improve ourselves is to be able to control our destiny. If you have the ability but don't seek revenge, why bother going through this?"
"I know, grandma." Liu Chengzhi nodded. It was rare to see a hint of murderous intent on his Maitreya Buddha-like face.
After the awarding ceremony, Wei Huan rested on Blue Star for another three days.
However, these three days could not be considered a rest at all, because he had been meeting people during these three days. This time, he left enough time to have detailed conversations with the commanders of the legions of various countries whom he had briefly met at the inauguration ceremony that day.
Wei Huan's meeting with the Osam generals was scheduled for the last day.
It was not a case of neglect. The itinerary had been verified in advance by diplomats, and it was explained that both sides needed some preparation time for this meeting. In addition, the generals of other countries might only meet for half an hour, but the generals of Osam stayed for three hours, or even half a day.
This is also a special attention.
The overall strength of Osam is not weak. In the past, they also paid a lot on the front line against the dark beasts. This shows Wei Huan's respect for the powerful country. Of course, it is also because he made a big fuss in Osam not long ago, and now it is time to give him some "sweet rewards".
Josh Meyer brought his important subordinates to meet with Wei Huan that morning. In addition to discussing regular topics, Josh Meyer also brought Wei Huan a special news.
“…Denton’s true identity is Shi Hengjun. This is the latest information I obtained from the Hodgson family’s confidential intelligence.
Shi Hengjun did not die in the explosion. He even survived the last Colossus assessment because he awakened the special physique of the Demon of Suffering. His strength has increased significantly.
The Demon of Suffering is the name given to him by the Hodgson family. Simply put, it is to feed the demon in his soul through various painful, desperate, and angry emotions, so that he can gain more powerful strength and increase his regenerative ability.
According to intelligence, Shi Hengjun was able to survive being skinned alive and disemboweled, and his legs were even regenerated due to the strength he gained from being buried alive.
However, it is said that his reproductive organs have never regenerated."
Having said that, Josh Meyer paused.
To be honest, he would rather not have those legs than lose those two pounds of flesh.
Moreover, Shi Hengjun's life is too miserable. Even if he can become stronger through pain, the pain of being skinned alive and poured with boiling water is too terrible. Living in extreme pain every day, is there any meaning in his life?
"He wants revenge?" Wei Huan frowned, surprised that Shi Hengjun was still alive. No wonder this guy Denton was so weird, it turned out that it was not his illusion.
Josh Meyer didn't dare hide anything from Wei Huan. He spoke of the intelligence he had obtained: "It's not so much that he wants revenge, but rather that the Hodgson family is forcing him to maintain this hatred. I have another file that records the mind control of Shi Hengjun by psychologists, hypnotists, actors, and others."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows. This actually made him feel a little sympathetic towards this guy who had completely become a puppet. Being controlled like this and living in extreme pain every day might be worse than dying in the explosion.
This information is actually of little use to Wei Huan. After all, since he and "Denton" are already enemies, there is no chance that Shi Hengjun will get close to him.
However, considering that they had a deep hatred in the past, Wei Huan thought of the "natural fruit" that might be left in his hands. That was a good thing and would be of great use to Mu Zhong's cultivation. No matter how much, it would not be too much.
"If you have any news about Shi Hengjun, please contact me." Wei Huan said.
"Of course, we are tracking down his whereabouts. He originally served Hodgson together with the Xu family father and son. Under Hodgson's arrangement, he had just won some merits on the battlefield not long ago. Hodgson wanted to use this merit to send them to the front, but now that the Hodgson family has fallen, he has nowhere to go and can only hide back in the Challenge World like the Xu family father and son.
However, unlike the Xu family father and son, our investigation report pointed out that Shi Hengjun has a strong obsession with reviving the Shi Heng family. This may be one of the few pursuits in his extremely painful life, and it is engraved in his bones and difficult to change.
So he might try to find a way to get in touch with the surviving members of Shi Heng's family again.
We speculate that in less than half a month, a new batch of young people will enter the challenge world. There are several young people in Shi Heng's family who are living outside, and it seems that they will all take part in this assessment.
If Shi Hengjun wants to revitalize the Shi Heng family, he will definitely find a way to contact these people. This will be our breakthrough to find him."
Then Josh Meyer said, "If you're at ease, leave this matter to us to follow up. We guarantee that Shi Hengjun will be brought to you within a month."
Wei Huan said, "If you find him, just deal with him. But I need the fruit of life from him. Just bring this over. I don't need anything else."
"Okay, I understand."
The originally tense relationship between the two sides gradually eased during this conversation. Wei Huan also released his friendly signals, that is, the mountain of supplies he brought back this time did not need to be too much. He only needed to follow the rules and give a big country like Osam its share. This would be enough to reassure Osam and make them feel that they still had a place by Wei Huan's side.
The situation has been changing rapidly, and the change in identity is difficult for many people to accept, but this is the fact. If you don’t keep up, you will be eliminated.
Josh Meyer is not only capable, but he can also stand in his current position because his emotional intelligence and EQ are naturally very high.
A few days of effort effectively eased the conflict between Osam and Wei Huan, and he actually got the supplies that Osam had been unable to get in the past. Just bringing these things back was enough to make his position in the country more stable.
Of course, he will soon go to the sixth-level world with Wei Huan. As an important member of the Blue Star Alliance's pioneering army, as long as Wei Huan does not fall, his reputation and status will continue to increase.
It’s not impossible to think about a certain location.
After meeting with Osham's generals, Wei Huan never saw anyone again.
He stayed for half a day with Mu Zhong to accompany his family, wash his hands, make dumplings, and have a delicious dinner.
During dinner, Wei Huan received a notification to challenge the world.
[Challenge Carnival rewards are being distributed. Congratulations on winning the first prize of the carnival, which is a diamond treasure chest.]
At the same time, challengers around the world received similar messages on their mobile phones.
[Congratulations to Daxia Weihuan for winning first place in the Challenge Carnival, and receiving a diamond treasure chest as a reward.]
【Congratulations……】
【Congratulations……】
After broadcasting it three times in a row, Challenge World issued a second notice.
[Congratulations to Daxia Xu Qingqiang for winning second place in the Challenge Carnival...]
[Congratulations to Daxia Xue Ming for winning third place in the Challenge Carnival...]
The global notification only notified the first three people, all of whom were in Wei Huan’s car.
Open the Challenger APP and look at the list. Not to mention the top three, the top 8 are all from Wei Huan’s car.
Captain Fang, who has topped the Carnival list for two consecutive years, dropped to 9th place, just a little bit away from falling out of the top ten.
It was because the resources on Wei Huan’s chariot were too abundant.
"Carnival" is the annual overall ranking, which requires statistical ranking from four aspects: "Combat Power Ranking", "Vehicle Performance Ranking", "Points Ranking" and "Life Ranking".
The main crew members on Wei Huan's tank are on the top of the combat effectiveness list. There are nearly 300 main combat members, and each one of them is at the level of a tank commander. If they were in a small country, they would be worshipped as gods.
Later, a logistics officer on the bus reminded Wei Huan that the "Carnival" was about to begin and asked him whether he wanted to take the reward.
Wei Huan said: "Of course, but leave some of the top rankings for others."
In this way, with the careful calculations of the logistics staff, several core elites on the car easily took the top ten.
There are so many good things on Wei Huan's chariot, whatever you want, it's got it. Not to mention ranking ten, even ranking a hundred wouldn't be a problem.
However, the logistics staff remembered what Wei Huan said and did not grab too many places. They only created a ranking for a few core elites. For this purpose, they also specially sent a lot of supplies to Captain Fang.
Logically, Captain Fang should have gotten second place, which is a respect for the "national pillar" and also a way to allocate resources.
But Captain Fang did not use these supplies, and now when challenging the world statistics, he ranks eighth.
Later, when discussing this matter, Captain Fang said, "I've thought about it, but I don't think it's necessary. Empty rankings aren't as valuable as rewards. Xu Qingqiang, Captain Xue, and the others have also sacrificed more, risking their lives to stop the Dark Beast's offensive. These supplies deserve to be their rewards. It doesn't matter if I'm fourth or tenth; the rewards are the same."
When Wei Huan got the diamond treasure chest, he was eating dumplings. He calmly picked up his mobile phone, took a look at it, and then put the phone back where it was.
Mu Dehao had also been home these days. Seeing him like this, he smiled and said, "It's a pity that the diamond treasure chest can't be taken out on Blue Star, otherwise I would like to touch it and feel what it feels like."
Wei Huan said, "You are coming to the Level 6 world with Captain Fang this time, right? You can drive the car."
"That's not the case." Mu Dehao laughed dumbly. "Besides, there's still more than a month left. After the opening match, we'll have to deal with the new recruit assessments. What suggestions do you have for this?"
Wei Huan thought about it and said, "The Materials Bureau has already made all the arrangements. They have done their best to ensure that as many people as possible can pass the assessment. They have done a great job. I can't think of anything better."
Mu Dehao said, "This year's newcomers have it easy. The retention rate is estimated to be over 9.5. As long as they're not too reckless, they can pass the level, and their quality won't be too bad. This time, the supplies can even provide some geniuses with the ability to directly open silver treasure chests. It all depends on whether any new outstanding talents emerge."
Wei Huan recalled that there were actually many geniuses who emerged after him, but he just couldn't remember them all.
After all, latecomers are always latecomers. No matter how outstanding they are, they will never be like him now, who has gone from a newcomer to a leader in the forefront in such a short time.
After all, in an era without himself, Captain Fang was still dazzling, Jacques was not betrayed by the country, and he joined forces with Agris to hold up the sky. Although Jiang Yue's reputation as a "disaster star" existed, her achievements on the battlefield could never be erased.
These "old people" are still shining and blooming with their own brilliance. It is difficult for newcomers to achieve too much success under their brilliance. They can only excel in their own small fields.
The only thing Wei Huan remembered was that some students performed exceptionally well in this year's A-Challenge. Not only did they use the Black Iron Treasure Chest to awaken higher-star professions, they also took bold risks to obtain a large amount of supplies to upgrade their chariots.
Not only did these students receive recognition from the school and the city after returning, they also entered the Challenge World and became challengers.
But in Wei Huan's opinion, this level is not worthy of special training. Besides, if he intervenes too much, it may even lead to more trouble.
So after reminiscing, Wei Huan remained silent and did not mention anyone in particular.
Mu Dehao naturally had no idea what Wei Huan was thinking. After finishing his conversation, he moved on to the next topic. Seeing that he was talking about work again, Zhou Xian smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come back, and you're leaving soon. Let's chat about some small talk. And don't forget to bring food back for Dou Lin and eat with him."
Mu Dehao laughed: "Isn't this still about the Challenge World car?"
Zhou Xian shook her head: "This is different. Although it happened in the car, every time you leave, the child is left alone. I feel sorry for him."
Mu Zhong said, "Dou Lin is already Sequence Five. If he wants to force his way back, he can. However, he grew up in the Challenge World and is somewhat afraid of Blue Star. We can't force him."
Zhou Xian said, "If he doesn't yearn for Blue Star, it means you haven't done enough and haven't entered his heart. He's only eight years old, how could he not want to follow his parents wherever they go? You still need to pay more attention to him."
Mu Zhong thought: "How is Aunt Peng now?"
Zhou Xian said, "That's what I wanted to say. Aunt Peng has been receiving treatment for six months, and her condition has stabilized a lot. She misses Dou Lin terribly. I know there's a Sequence Six Life Angel in your car soon. Take Aunt Peng back to the car. Not only can she accompany Dou Lin, but she can also receive treatment from the Life Angel. Perhaps she will recover completely."
Wei Huan suddenly understood after hearing this.
He had completely forgotten about this person. If Mu Zhong hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have remembered Dou Lin's needs.
Given his current status and position, many people did not dare to show emotions in front of him, including Dou Lin, who gradually realized that if he had something to say, he could talk to Liu Chengzhi or Mu Zhong, but he could not disturb him.
Thinking back, he hadn't let himself hug him for a long time.
Dou Lin is very talented and is also a child loved by the challenge world.
His white glove "dome" can basically be confirmed to be the professional training ground for fortune tellers. The sealed abilities of Mu Zhong's mother were all opened by the stars created by the dome. This kind of thing, which is of great use to people of the same profession, is a professional training ground.
Now, it seems that he is still one step away from the impression he left on Wei Huan in his previous life, which is a set of high-level playing cards.
Playing cards can be said to be the fortune teller's professional weapon. Perhaps if a high-level treasure chest is found in the future, Dou Lin should be asked to open it.
This method does not mean that whoever opens the treasure chest will definitely drop his or her own equipment, but it does increase the probability of getting weapons of that profession.
Wei Huan was lost in thought, and when he came to his senses, dinner was already over.
He accompanied Mu Zhong in clearing and washing the dishes, and then they watched TV together, drank tea and chatted for a while.
But when Mu Xi yawned for the first time, Wei Huan and the others looked at each other and knew that it was almost time to leave.
Mu Xi washed his face, brushed his teeth, and went to bed in a daze.
In the living room, Zhou Xian sorted out clothes for her lover and two children. She looked reluctant but said, "Don't worry, leave the house to me. Xixi misses you. Please come home more often."
Zhou Xian didn't say much to try to keep him. Her husband and children were not ordinary people, so she naturally couldn't be as weak as ordinary women.
She is strong and independent. She will take good care of her family and children so that those who are working hard in the front will have no worries.
Wei Huan, Mu Zhong, and Mu Dehao set out overnight.
Instead of taking a car, they walked through the city at night.
"It's strange that the cities in Challenge World are also so bustling with traffic, and even have more high-tech and cyber styles. But I still miss the simplicity of Blue Star and am reluctant to leave." Mu Zhong said with emotion.
Mu Dehao smiled and said, "So some places are foreign lands, and some places are home."
Back at the Qinglong Legion base, it was quite lively.
From today until 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, it is the day of return. Wei Huan has nearly a thousand people, and Mu Dehao has seven or eight hundred people. No one is sleepy at this time, so they spend the time chatting and fighting in the military camp.
The members of Wei Huan's chariot are high-level confidential personnel, and so are Mu Dehao's people. The relationship between the two sides, coupled with the relationship between their leaders, makes their exchanges much closer and their relations much better than those of other convoys.
Wei Huan also noticed that Lao Ma and Xu Qingqiang were squatting in front of the flower bed and chatting, one of them holding a cigarette in his hand, and the chrysanthemums behind them were blooming large clusters of flower balls, yellow, red, white, and orange. In the night, they looked charming and lovely in the smoke exhaled by the two people.
Mu Zhong also saw it and said, "We invited Captain Ma to get on the train, but he said that Wang Ming and the others had left and you had no one around, so he refused us. He is very talented, and if he is well trained, he will be a backbone elite in our tank."
Mu Dehao nodded: "I know, all the good things are being cultivated on them. When your chariot is upgraded again, I will send it over."
Mu Zhong asked, "Don't you have anyone by your side?"
"If you have the ability, you should move forward. In this era, if you slow down even a step, you will slow down all the steps. I can't let my slight inconvenience hinder his future. Besides, young people nowadays are more capable and willing to work. If they don't leave, how can we make room for young people to display their talents?" Although they said so, only father and son can be so selfless as to arrange for the people they trained to leave.
Mentioning this, Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan and said, "We only need the level 7 windshield blueprint to upgrade to a level 7 vehicle."
Mu Dehao said, "Mu Zhong has contacted me about this, and I've asked the entire army about it. Currently, no one on the entire Blue Star has this blueprint. It depends on whether anyone can get it after this carnival."
As they were talking, Xu Qingqiang saw them, jumped down from the flower bed, and waved from a distance: "Boss, I have the blueprints."
Mu Zhong's eyes lit up: "Level 7 windshield blueprint?"
"Yeah," Xu Qingqiang said, "I got the Carnival treasure chest and headed back to the car. I remember we were short of the Level 7 windshield blueprint, am I right? What's the reward for me?"
"You are the first to make a contribution! Just ask for whatever you want!" After Mu Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Wei Huan with his bright eyes.
Mu Dehao laughed heartily. "Good luck! Heaven is on your side! Okay, I said we'd be busy with the newcomer assessment next, but it turns out there's something even busier. Tier 7 vehicles! There must be 10,000 spots available this time! Are all these countries going to fight to get in?"
Wei Huan said: "The quotas are allocated based on the contributions of the past eight years. The 1,000 people on my bus now are not counted in the quota."
"So only 9,000 places will be released? Or should some be reserved?" In fact, Mu Dehao meant whether to leave more places for Daxia to get on the train.
Wei Huan nodded: "It's up to you. We have the final say now."
Mu Dehao smiled so hard that his eyebrows curved. "That's right, we have the final say now. This is a very lucrative job, but it's not easy to do well. I'll contact Commander Chai and Commander Dong and discuss it together."
Wei Huan smiled and said, "Well, I'll trouble you next. After I go back and upgrade my chariot, I'm afraid I'll have to explore the seabed and may not be interested in paying attention to this side."
"Of course, you and I have different responsibilities. These things are my responsibility, but if you have any ideas, you should communicate with me in time."
Wei Huan nodded. With the support of the Mu family, he was becoming more and more successful.
