But three months later, as the "Old Days" squad entered the top ten on the merit list and created an amazing record of "zero casualties" for three consecutive months, the "Babysitter" squad was no longer mentioned.
Instead, hundreds of people from Shanhai have used various connections to find Shen Qian, wanting to join the "Old Days" team.
Among them, there are more than 20 people who are top-level experts in the "Mountain and Sea" category alone.
But without exception, they were all rejected by Chen Qian.
Given the current strength of the "Old Days" squad, they don't need any icing on the cake, so he naturally wouldn't want irrelevant people to come and freeload off their merits.
Standing to the side, Zheng Guangxi looked at these young faces that he had once looked down upon, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Who would have thought that the "Baby" team, which was not favored by everyone, could achieve such amazing results in just a few months!
Thirteen B-rank missions, twenty-seven C-rank or lower missions, including even a rare A-rank mission...
Of course, the completion of that A-level mission was somewhat inexplicable. They entered the unknown A-level "door" as if facing a formidable enemy, only to be told to wait in place as soon as they entered. He himself went deeper into the area alone, and when he returned four days later, the mission was already complete.
This matter is also the biggest secret of the "Old Days" team, because everyone is keeping it a closely guarded secret due to the requirements before the sinking.
They only claimed to the outside world that the situation behind that A-level "door" was special and not as dangerous as imagined; they were able to complete the mission by taking advantage of a loophole.
Regardless, the 100% independent mission completion rate and zero casualty rate have made the "Old Days" squad a top squad in the Southwest Theater Command.
This Mirror Realm world is the world behind the fourteenth B-level "gate" they have recently explored.
Contrary to outside speculation, Shen Qian has actually been participating in fewer and fewer battles lately. He spends most of his time in a daze. Although Lin Sanmo said he was cultivating, Zheng Guangxi observed him several times but couldn't see anything.
Besides the "unfathomable" Shen Qian, the growth rate of the other team members also completely astonished Zheng Guangxi.
He hadn't realized it while he was in the thick of it, but looking back now, Zheng Guangxi was horrified to discover that Qu Bai and Lin Sanmo alone were almost as powerful as him.
The others have also made progress. Even Mu Ziyan, who was the weakest before, now has the strength to kill a fourth-level expert of the Mountain and Sea Realm on her own.
"team leader……"
"team leader!"
Upon seeing Shen Qian arrive, everyone greeted him, even the taciturn Lin Sanmo nodded slightly.
He smiled and responded, then turned his gaze to the ruins where the crowd had gathered.
In the ruins, in a blank space surrounded by collapsed buildings, mysterious patterns are engraved on the flat ground, forming a strange design that faintly emits light.
After staring at it for a long time, even with his current mental strength, he felt dizzy.
"That's it!"
Shen Qian looked away, but his heart was filled with excitement.
This mysterious pattern of unknown origin was personally named "The Pattern of the Great Dao" by him. It was first discovered on the teleportation altar in the Great Wilderness World. Later, Shen Qian developed another use for this pattern, namely, to enhance spiritual power by visualizing and deciphering the "The Pattern of the Great Dao".
The principle is the same as using the Ancestral Dragon Thunder to temper the body; both involve stimulating oneself with a stronger external force to achieve the goal of rapidly increasing mental strength.
With the support of the Word Spirit King's legacy and the "Primordial Refining God Chapter," Shen Qian's spiritual power has been increasing rapidly over the past three months.
Later, Shen Qian discovered similar patterns behind two other Class B "doors." After some research, Shen Qian was surprised to find that they were actually closely related.
In other words, if a complete puzzle exists, then these patterns are only a part of it.
Since then, Shen Qian has consciously begun to collect similar "Great Dao Patterns" in an attempt to restore the completeness behind them.
Shen Qian intuitively felt that if he could gather all the parts, he might be able to find the truth behind the appearance of the "door". After all, the real coordinates of these worlds behind the "door" are extremely far apart in the universe, but they have this strange commonality, which must be hiding some great secret.
He memorized the patterns bit by bit using his mental power. When he confirmed that he could reproduce them through visualization, Shen Qian's face had turned pale, and he was extremely exhausted.
Given his current abundant spiritual power, it's almost unimaginable that he would be exhausted just from memorizing some simple lines. This is why Shen Qian is even more convinced that the "Great Dao Patterns" are extraordinary.
While he was silently memorizing before sinking, no one disturbed him. Instead, they dispersed to keep watch at a distance. Only after he finished sinking did they gather around him again.
"Captain, are we heading back?"
Everyone tacitly forgot about what had just happened, since they couldn't understand the pattern anyway. Qu Bai asked with a smile.

"Okay, that's enough, it's time to go back."
Shen Qian glanced at the time on the specially made watch and nodded.
Where are we going next?
As everyone packed their things, Yue Dakan, who was calculating how much merit he would receive this time, asked with a broad smile.
"Let's go back to Earth to rest first. As for what happens next... let Zheng Guangxi decide," Shen Qian said thoughtfully.
