"Sir? Our Explorers Legion has never cared about seniority; we only judge by merit! What kind of commander are you if you don't have the ability?"
"Enough! Shut up, all of you!"
Dillon shouted, revealing his authority as the leader of the legion. Yoshikawa Shinichi and Tang Huang immediately fell silent.
Dillon stood up and pondered for a moment before saying to Yang Cheng, "Newcomer, you now have two choices: one is to complete the extraordinary assessment task."
The Dead Sea Paradise Island wasn't considered too dangerous before, but since the mutation that occurred a year ago, its danger level is second only to the Dark Desert, a forbidden area that has given birth to countless mutated creatures.
Normally, entering Paradise Island requires a small team; it's very risky for you to go alone.
However, as long as you complete the mission, you will receive exceptional treatment, with your rank directly promoted to squad leader and awarded the rank of major.
Of course, you can choose to refuse, but as Vice Commander Yoshikawa Makoto said, giving you the right to choose again this time would be unfair to the others.
So you can wait until the next round of new recruit assessments for the Explorers Legion and take the assessments with another group of people.
Yang Cheng did not hesitate and said directly, "I choose to enter Paradise Island for the assessment."
Yang Cheng was confident that he could accomplish the same task as an explorer team.
Most importantly, he doesn't have time to waste here.
The challenge has become common knowledge, so even if I stay hidden in the Tower World, it won't make a difference. Once I get out, people from the Nine Netherworld might be waiting for me there.
Unless he can stay in the Tower World until he dies of old age, but that's not Yang Cheng's style.
Moreover, the higher one's position, the deeper one's understanding of the tower becomes, and the rank of major is still very attractive to Yang Cheng.
The three legions of the High Tower have a very high status. Basically, as long as you are a formal member, you start as a junior officer. That woman Yin Lin is not in the combat sequence, but she still managed to become a captain.
If Yang Cheng could really obtain the rank of major, although it wouldn't be extremely valuable, it would still make him a figure of importance within the first and second floors of the tower.
His status is at least much higher than Gray's, after all, the influence of the Security Legion is incomparable to that of the Explorer Legion.
"Alright, everyone go back and prepare. We'll depart for the assessment in three days!"
Ti Lung waved his hand, dismissing the crowd.
Duanmu Ci gave Tang Huang a wink, and Tang Huang nodded and turned to leave.
A moment later, Tang Huang arrived at Duanmu Ci's dormitory and tossed him a capsule-shaped object.
"Someone tampered with the lottery; I found it in the lottery box."
A simple compressed storage capsule, filled with notes that read "Paradise Island".
Whenever it's Yang Cheng's turn to draw a lot, the capsule bursts open, and Yang Cheng doesn't draw anything else.
Duanmu Ci looked at the capsule, frowned, and said, "I'll go find the leader."
Tang Huang waved his hand and said, "It's no use going. Do you think the commander can't see through it?"
Although that old guy always looked like he hadn't slept, he actually saw things more clearly than anyone else.
The lottery box has always been kept in the logistics department, and too many people have access to it. So what if they know someone tampered with it? If things get out of hand, it's still our Explorers Corps that will lose face.
So the regimental commander has already given Yang Cheng a chance, and Yang Cheng has agreed. There's no point in bringing up old grievances now.
But who exactly did Yang Cheng offend? How could he possibly influence our Explorer Legion?
Yang Cheng killed over a hundred people from the Violent Bear Society in one go. Duanmu Ci and Tang Huang already knew that he must have some grudge against the Violent Bear Society, but the two of them didn't care.
After all, for the Explorers Legion, some minor conflicts at the lower levels are nothing.
But now it seems that the people Yang Cheng offended were not so simple.
"Anyone who tries to cause trouble within the Explorers Legion should be killed!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Duanmu Ci's eyes. For him, the reputation of the Explorers Legion was above all else.
Tang Huang shook his head and said, "There are some people you really can't kill. Do you think it might be that old guy Yoshikawa Shinichi? He was the one who sang the most dissenting tune today."
If you really take down a deputy regimental commander, even if the old man wants to protect you, he won't be able to.
Since the old man was injured last time, his control over the Explorers Legion has not been as strong as before.
Duanmu Ci wiped his greatsword while saying expressionlessly, "There's no evidence now. But even if there were, the deputy commander would still be killed!"
Tang Huang rolled his eyes.
Duanmu Ci always said that his mouth was the source of trouble.
In reality, Duanmu Ci was the truly lawless madman, capable of anything.
