Marshal Ghani actually came in person, which surprised Ke Jin very much. Oloy beside him glanced at Marshal Ghani, found an excuse to get up and leave.
When Marshal Gani saw Oloy for the first time, he felt that the blond young man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember the reason for his familiarity. Ke Jin was already asking him about his purpose, so Marshal Gani's attention was quickly turned back to the current matter.
"I heard from Xi'er about your experiences on the Azure Star. I think this is not a simple matter, so I want to come and see you in person." Marshal Ghani said with a smile. He did not act like a big shot at all, which made Ke Jin have a very good impression. "You may not know that the 'Devil' may come back at any time. If you really have a grudge against him, you must take precautions in advance."
Qi had previously hinted to Ke Jin that the "Devil King" might be resurrected, and Ke Jin was not surprised by this. However, when he heard that the top military officials had also conveyed this message in an affirmative tone, his heart sank and he remained silent for a long time.
Marshal Ghani thought Ke Jin was frightened by the news, so he immediately softened his tone and comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. We have made a series of thorough defense deployments against his resurgence. Since we have severely damaged him once, we can severely damage him again or even wipe him out a second time."
He nodded to Major Xier beside him, and the green-haired man immediately handed Ke Jin a silver card.
"This is a file card printed with special materials. It contains all the information we have collected about the Demon King," Marshal Ghani said. "This information is internally confidential. The card will be automatically destroyed two hours after activation. Since the content is large, I suggest you find a time when no one will disturb you to read it carefully."
Ke Jin didn't expect that the other party would take his request so seriously and directly take out all the confidential information. He was flattered, but also a little ashamed - after all, he didn't take out anything of equal value in exchange.
Marshal Ghani saw Ke Jin's expression clearly. He had a gentle smile on his face and added another chip without making a sound.
"I heard that you have something to discuss with Major General Leng Yan. He is currently on a mission and will not be back for at least half a month. But I have already told him your request. When Major General Leng Yan returns, he will come to you as soon as possible."
Ke Jin didn't know what to say anymore - Marshal Ghani was a high-ranking commander of the galactic army, and he was just an ordinary little card envoy. Not only did the other party not put on airs, but he also met his requests very sincerely and even provided additional services thoughtfully. This was not something that could be resolved by simply saying thank you.
"Marshal," Ke Jin said sincerely, "if there is anything you need my help with, please feel free to tell me."
Marshal Ghani nodded and naturally stated the most important purpose of this trip.
"I came here this time, in addition to the matter of the 'Demon King', there are indeed other things I want to discuss with you."
Ke Jin was eager to repay his gratitude: "You say!"
"Major Xier should have told you that the cards in your card pool are very effective in weakening the pollution caused by the magnetic field anomaly in the 13th Galaxy. We will be carrying out a series of operations later and need to go deep into the 13th Galaxy. We should use a lot of your cards, so..."
Ke Jin understood immediately: "Your military wants to requisition my card pool?"
"No, during non-war periods, we have no right to requisition any materials from civilians, including card pools." Marshal Ghani stared into Ke Jin's eyes. Although there was still a smile on his lips, his expression was obviously much more serious.
"Envoy Ke Jin, on behalf of the military, I hope to establish long-term cooperation with you and obtain priority card drawing rights in the card pool."
***
Two days later, Ke Jin and the military officially began their cooperation.
Ke Jin had no objection to the request made by Marshal Ghani. On the one hand, he really wanted to thank Marshal Ghani. On the other hand, in his original world, there was also the principle of "military priority" in certain occasions, which he thought was natural.
Moreover, the devil is about to revive, and going deep into the thirteenth star system is to fight against the devil, so Ke Jin will certainly support it. Then Ke Jin and Marshal Gani discussed some details of the cooperation, and the two sides decided to temporarily open up a time for the military to draw cards, so that the military can reserve enough cards in a short time, and then gradually implement the priority of drawing cards.
After reaching an agreement, Ke Jin quickly posted a notice outside the card pool, which roughly stated that the card pool would be open to the public only in the morning in the near future. Citizens who needed to draw cards were requested to plan their drawing time, and so on.
As for the "afternoon time" that is not open to the public, it is naturally open to military personnel in order to fulfill the agreement with Field Marshal Ghani.
In order to prevent the previous fights caused by card drawing from happening again, Marshal Ghani proposed that only personnel from one galaxy's army be allowed to draw cards every day. Ke Jin certainly had no objection, and the card drawing list would naturally be decided by the military. Ke Jin only had to replenish the card pool energy in time and do his best to ensure an adequate supply of cards.

Marshal Kless of the Lion Galaxy has been very anxious recently.
This is extremely abnormal.
As everyone knows, Kress has always been known for his bad temper, but his temper comes and goes quickly, and he can often calm down quickly after just a roar - for him, any bad thing is just the difference between roaring once or twice.
The state of anxiety is quite different.
This is a kind of continuous psychological torture, just like having a hornet's nest in your heart. A large group of hornets are buzzing non-stop, making you upset and restless, but you can't drive them away and can only hold your breath and endure it.
This is how Kless endured.
In fact, a few days ago, he had been anxious for a few hours: at that time, he was worried that his men's reckless fighting would mess up his relationship with Ke Jin Kashi, causing the people in their Lion Galaxy to have no cards to draw, delaying the opportunity to go deep into the 13th Galaxy. But this matter was soon properly resolved -
Marshal Ghani, who was extremely skilled in negotiation (and blackmail), had apologized to Envoy Kojinka on their behalf and obtained the other party's forgiveness.
The shrewd and capable (and cunning) Marshal Ghani even reached an agreement with the young card envoy, promising that the military would have priority in drawing cards. As the first step of cooperation, Envoy Coca agreed to open the card pool every afternoon to the military alone, but in order to prevent conflicts during the card drawing, only one galaxy army was allowed to draw cards every day, and the order of the various armies to draw cards was determined by drawing lots by the marshals.
——The source of Kless’s anxiety comes from this hateful drawing of lots.
Because he drew... the last one.
This means that people from the Leo galaxy have to wait until the twelfth day to draw cards.
Naturally, there was no voice within the army complaining that their marshal had bad luck. Part of the reason was that no one dared to say anything, and the other part was that although they had to wait a little longer, it would eventually be their turn, and they just had to wait patiently - this was what Kless thought after drawing the lots.
Compared to falling out with Card Master Ke Jin and being in a situation where there are no cards to draw, it’s no big deal to just wait a little longer!
——Until Marshal Kress got a snack card called "Latiao" from the lieutenant named Blanche.
Blanche was one of the unlucky guys who was detained by the Mobis City Police Department for the brawl in the "Spirit Garden" card pool that day. After he and his teammates were brought back, Marshal Kress, who was furious at being blackmailed by Marshal Ghani, naturally roared at them. Blanche was scolded so much that his face turned pale and he felt ashamed. After being allowed to leave, he directly handed in all the cards he got from Envoy Kojin with his head shrugged, as an explanation for this failed operation.
Kless casually flipped through the cards and found a snack called "Latiao" among them.
Maybe it was because of his preference for spicy food, maybe it was because he was curious about this novel snack, or maybe... it was the guidance of fate. In short, at this moment, Marshal Kless, who almost never ate snacks, did not think much about it. He directly activated the card materialization, then opened the bag of snacks that fell into his hands and took a bite.
…And then, something terrible happened.
Kless originally only wanted to taste a few bites and share the rest with his deputy, but after he took a bite, he was slightly stunned, and quickly took another bite, and then... another bite.
After a few minutes, the big bag of spicy strips was empty.
After reaching into the bag and trying to take food again without success, Kless looked at the empty bag of spicy food and had a flash of foreboding in his mind, but it was quickly covered up by an unprecedented excitement and enthusiasm.
The numbness is so satisfying, the spiciness is so sour and refreshing, and there seems to be a subtle sweetness. My taste buds have never experienced such a wonderful taste. Just thinking about the taste of this small spicy strip, my saliva begins to be secreted subconsciously.
Is this really a snack?
How can this be a snack?
This is simply a delicacy and a treasure on earth!
It’s delicious! I want to eat more!
Kless threw away the empty bag of spicy strips, jumped up from the table, and ran to the wall like a whirlwind to flip through the calendar.
Shit, they still have to wait another twelve days before the people in the Lion Galaxy can draw the cards! Twelve days!!
It was from this moment that Marshal Kress began to become anxious.
***
Marshal Creuse's anxious first day.
In the evening, the first group of lucky people who went to "Spirit Garden" to draw cards, the soldiers from the Aquarius galaxy, returned happily.
That’s right, Marshal Ghani proposed the lottery ranking method, and then the Aquarius Galaxy drew the first place...
Everyone thought that Marshal Ghani, the old fox, had definitely cheated, but they had no evidence and could only accept it. Besides, Envoy Ke Jinka was from the Aquarius Galaxy. If he took the initiative to ask Marshal Ghani and his team to rank first, what else could others say?
The people of Aquarius Galaxy obviously also understand their current advantages. In the military restaurant that night, wherever there were Aquarius Galaxy soldiers, you could see them pretending to be nonchalant, but in fact they wanted to stand on the table to show off the various exquisite snack cards they had drawn.
Kless looked from a distance.
Take another look.
"Why are you all so proud? Isn't it just that you drew a card earlier than others?" Marshal Luo Xiu, who came to the restaurant with Kless to eat, snorted in dissatisfaction, "What's so great about it? If it didn't have the special ability to remove pollution, who would care about this kind of snack card that is not presentable!"
I had no idea that there was someone around me who was extremely hungry for this kind of snack card...
Kless watched as the Aquarius Galaxy soldiers sitting at a table in front of him on the right materialized a snack card. Ah, it was spicy noodles! They started eating spicy noodles! They showed incredible expressions! They ate so happily! So happy! They started to communicate enthusiastically! They enthusiastically distributed the spicy noodles to the person leading the table...
"Why are you walking to the right?" Marshal Luo Xiu pulled Kless with confusion, then looked up to the front right, but he found nothing except a few tables of Aquarius galaxy soldiers who were eating snacks with great interest.
"What are you going there for?" Luo Xiu asked.
Kless quickly retracted his right foot and continued walking towards the marshal's private VIP room on the left.
"Oh, it's okay." He said seriously.
Be reserved! Be strong! Don’t do stupid things like begging for snacks! Maintain your image as a tough guy!
Just wait eleven more days! I can do this!
I can! !
Marshal Creuse's anxious second day.
The second person to draw the card was from the Scorpio Galaxy. When Kless walked into the military cafeteria, he saw, as expected, that the people who were proudly showing off their snack cards tonight were more soldiers from the Scorpio Galaxy.
This guy Erfa is so sinister, but his luck is always so good that he actually got the second place... Why don't I have this luck! Why! Kles thought bitterly.
Just like yesterday, the soldiers who drew the cards sat together to taste the snacks that interested them and loudly exchanged their thoughts on the tasting.
Kless looked from a distance.
Take another look.
He felt as if he could smell the taste of spicy strips... It turned out that it was right to come to the restaurant for dinner. Even just smelling the taste was very satisfying...
No, stop! Clus, wake up! Your keen sense of smell is not for places like this!
With difficulty, Kless withdrew his gaze, held his head high and chest puffed out, and walked towards the VIP room in a heroic and confident manner.
Several Lion Galaxy soldiers were talking in low voices as they watched Marshal Kless go away.
"As expected of Marshal Kless, the most iron-blooded and manly man, he doesn't even slack off during mealtimes and remains so cool..."
"Yes, yes, he is truly a role model for our army, a man like a king!"
However, no one knows that the king-like man is now thinking about the chewy and delicious spicy noodles...
Marshal Creuse's third anxious day.
The third galaxy army, the Cancer galaxy, had also finished drawing its cards, and a group of people were now discussing snacks in the military cafeteria.
As more and more people came to draw cards, Kless walked into the restaurant and could hear a lot of discussions just by walking around - these bored but lucky guys had even started ranking the best snacks.
Well, when I heard the name of spicy strips... there is no doubt that the name of this snack king must be on the snack list!
At the same time, Marshal Kless also heard the names of spicy duck neck, spicy beef tendon, sour and spicy crispy lotus root, and pepper chicken feet...
So there are so many delicious spicy snacks in that card pool?! Why did I only know about it now!
Damn, there are so many more snacks I want to eat!
Marshal Creuse's fourth anxious day.
More and more people have joined the discussion on the "Lingyuan" snack rankings, and the practice of exchanging cards has also begun.
They even held a small exchange meeting. In addition to the four armies that had participated in the card draw, other people who had not participated in the card draw could use star coins to buy the snacks they wanted at the exchange meeting. I heard that the most popular snacks were spicy snacks, among which spicy strips topped the list, and other spicy series were in fierce competition, and it was difficult to tell which one was better.
When Marshal Kless heard about this, he wanted to rush into the exchange meeting as soon as possible.
But he is the marshal, what would it be like to attend this kind of snack enthusiast exchange meeting!
How about secretly wandering outside and taking a look, if there is a chance...
No, stop! Clus, oh Clus, where is your self-control, which you are so proud of!
…
Want to eat.
Woo woo woo, I really want to eat spicy strips, even just one bite.
After much deliberation, Marshal Kless, carrying a two-ton bag, still returned to his office with difficulty, relying on his strong mental strength and willpower that had swept the battlefield for many years.
What Kless didn't expect was that as soon as he sat down at his desk, his adjutant knocked on the door. After being allowed to come in, this loyal subordinate who had been with him for many years handed him an exquisite card.
"Recently, this snack called 'Latiao' has become very popular in the military. I thought you might like it, Marshal, so I asked someone to buy one for you."
"Oh." Marshal Kless nodded calmly and said casually, "Put it on the table."
After the adjutant left the room, the marshal, who had been as calm as a mountain a second ago, grabbed the card like a tiger pouncing on its prey, activated it at the speed of light, opened the snack bag and ate a spicy strip.
Then, tears of happiness were shed.
So fragrant! So delicious! I love spicy strips!!
Marshal Cres's fifth anxious day.
Marshal Kless couldn't bear to finish the bag of spicy strips yesterday, so he carefully hid it in the drawer of his desk. He would only take out one or two and eat them slowly when he felt craving for it.
In the afternoon, Marshal Luo Xiu came to discuss the deployment of supplies to the front line with Kles. By the way, this Marshal of the Sagittarius Galaxy ranked eleventh in the lottery.
He is the second person with the worst luck after Kless.
Marshal Luo Xiu and Kless had a good personal relationship, so they started chatting casually after finishing their business, and inevitably talked about the "snack craze" that had suddenly swept the army recently.
"They are just some snacks. Why are you so crazy about them? These soldiers are so lazy. You know, we go to draw cards just to fight pollution, not to eat snacks!"
Marshal Luo Xiu had been very dissatisfied for a long time, and once he started talking he couldn't stop.
"They actually made a snack ranking list and held a fan club... It's ridiculous! What's the name of the snack ranked first? I think it's 'spicy strips'? I've never heard of it. I won't eat something of unknown origin even if it's given to me for free!"
Kless looked at Marshal Luo Xiu as if he was an idiot, then silently took out his own collection, very stingily pinched a small piece of spicy strip, and handed it to Marshal Luo Xiu.
"Is this spicy strips?" Marshal Luo Xiu took it and looked at it, then smiled disdainfully, "It doesn't look like anything special. What's so good about this thing?"
Then he threw it into his mouth nonchalantly.
...a few minutes later.
After leaving Marshal Kles' office, the first thing Marshal Luo Xiu did was to quickly check the calendar, and then, like Marshal Kles, he fell into anxiety.
Damn it, they have to wait another six days for the Sagittarius Galaxy card draw! Six whole days! This is simply not a life for human beings! !
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Ke Jin: Grilled spicy noodles! Hot! Delicious, very spicy!
Kless: Mom, I want to eat grilled spicy strips.
King of Hearts: Eat! Eat big chunks! Are two chunks enough?
Kless: That’s great, thank you mom, you are so nice!
