Chapter 222
After Yuan Jing joined the First Legion, it would be difficult for him to appear in public again. Even if the Ren family wanted to use the power of public opinion to force Yuan Jing, they would not be able to do anything.
Although he is unlikely to appear in public in the short term, those who like him are still silently blessing him, and he has left enough traces on the Star Network. The former "Yuan Yuan" has created many miracles, and the double mecha competition he attended with Xiao Cheng's Owl Eagle has also become a must-see battle video for many mecha enthusiasts. The video of his battle against insects on the planet N198 is collected by many people.
As many people have said, the battle videos of Yuan Jing fighting A-level and even S-level bugs have become teaching materials in military academies. In class, teachers will break down the actions in the video one by one and analyze how to better complete these actions.
So even though he has left, he has left enough traces and popularity. Many netizens, like the First Military Academy, are looking forward to his greater success in the First Legion and his next appearance.
Yuan Jing himself is neither arrogant nor impatient. Having walked through one world after another, he knows that no matter what he does, he has to take it step by step. So after entering the First Legion, he must first integrate into the collective. The army is not a place suitable for being alone.
He graduated from a military academy, so of course he would not start as a soldier. No matter how famous he was outside, these old soldiers might not obey him. To convince others, he had to show his strength and defeat them. No matter with bare hands or in a mecha, Yuan Jing knocked down everyone as soon as he arrived. These people could only stare. They never thought that this kid was so powerful.
In fact, Yuan Jing still likes his current life very much. After going through several worlds, he is familiar with the army. Although he has never participated in it personally, because his wives have been soldiers many times, he has a special feeling for the army. After he really came in, during the process of constantly running-in with the veterans, he found that the army is actually much simpler than the outside world. Everyone trains together, fights together, drinks and laughs together. Perhaps the only person who is not very happy is Wei Mingfeng.
During the break, Yuan Jing called Wei Mingfeng, and the two met in the chat: "I don't need special care. In fact, I also know that according to my current physical and mental strength, it is much easier for me to climb up than others. I can afford to waste this time."
Although those imperial soldiers were not as talented as him, they were veterans with rich experience, so Yuan Jing learned a lot from them.
Wei Mingfeng had no way to deal with this young man, and his eyes unconsciously revealed an indulgent and doting look: "You, this will be much harder."
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows: "Did I come in to enjoy myself?"
Wei Mingfeng chuckled. Yuan Jing was now more energetic and vigorous than when he was in the military academy. He was no longer mature beyond his years. He could tell that Yuan Jing really liked his current military life. "Do whatever you want to do. I will support you from behind. I will have someone deliver the intelligence about the Black Spider Pirates to you. Take action when you are fully prepared."
Yuan Jing's eyebrows softened. "Okay, I won't rush. I'll practice with other star pirates first. You should also take care of your rest."
He could see that there were dark circles under Wei Mingfeng's eyes, so one could imagine how busy this man was. Although he was now on the Imperial Star, the insect problem he faced was much more serious than the star pirates he had to eliminate. It was related to the fate of the entire human race in the empire.
"I will."
After the communication ended, Wei Mingfeng still had a smile in his eyes. He wanted to catch the man as soon as possible, but he couldn't bear to delay the boy's future. Otherwise, once his mark was left on him, people would suspect that Yuan Jing's achievements were all obtained under his protection rather than Yuan Jing's own abilities. In addition, the problem of the Zerg meant that Wei Mingfeng couldn't spare much time.
"General, someone has contacted Qi Feng."
"Keep an eye on it, I'll be there soon." Wei Mingfeng packed up a little and went out again.
After the running-in period, Yuan Jing began to lead the team on missions. Under Wei Mingfeng's arrangement, all the missions Yuan Jing received were aimed at star pirates. He completed the task of combating the star pirates excellently time and time again, which surprised the senior officials in the First Legion who were paying attention to this young man.
Normally people of this age might act impulsively and be arrogant, but this is not the case with Yuan Jing. He is calmer than many veterans. Even when faced with dangerous situations, he can lead his soldiers to counterattack the opponent and inflict a heavy blow. Gradually, his name spread among some pirates, but did not reach the people of the empire.
As he completed missions one after another, Yuan Jing's military rank began to rise. A year later, he had established a firm foothold in the First Legion and was promoted to the rank of major. The soldiers under his command went from being unconvinced in the beginning to now admiring him.
But this time, his figure disappeared in the First Legion.
"He's missing? Where did he go?"
"This man has been targeting space pirates in a very targeted manner over the past year. I have reason to suspect that he wants to deal with the Black Spider space pirates." The entire interstellar empire now knows who killed He Chuning.
"Okay, very good, then let me see how capable he is!"
Yuan Jing's situation in the First Legion could be hidden from the public, but not from the aristocratic families and the upper echelons of the empire. Although they could not interfere in the First Legion, they could still understand the situation inside. The faster Yuan Jing grew, the more fearful some people would be.
On a space station near the mercenary planet, the Fenglei Mercenary Group stayed in the space station for a few days after completing a mission. He Chen came to a bar and met a man. If they had not made an appointment in advance, He Chen would not have dared to recognize that the person in front of him was his cousin.
The person standing in front of him now was a young man with ordinary looks who could be easily overlooked, but when those eyes looked at him, He Chen knew that this was his cousin. The two of them avoided the crowd and found a private room to talk.
"It's okay here. No one is following us, and no surveillance can escape my perception." Yuan Jing reached out and hugged He Chen and told him about the situation.
He Chen couldn't help but hug him back. He knew his cousin was still alive. This was the first time he met his cousin in reality instead of on the Star Network. "That's great, we met."
"Well, my cousin has improved rapidly in the past two years." Yuan Jing let go of He Chen and checked his condition.
He Chen smiled: "Hearing your tone, I thought I was your cousin and you were your elder cousin. Don't worry, with such good conditions provided by you, how can your elder cousin hold you back again."
As Yuan Jing continued to grow, He Chen realized that if they wanted to avenge the He family, he would only be a hindrance, and this matter had to be done by Yuan Jing. He adjusted his task to assist Yuan Jing, so in the past two years, on the one hand, he stepped up efforts to improve his own strength and the strength of the Fenglei Mercenary Team members, on the other hand, he secretly investigated the situation of the Black Spider Pirates and the Ren family. When there was hope of revenge, he was no longer impatient and acted more secretly.
"Cousin, you didn't hold me back. You helped me a lot." Yuan Jing didn't lie. Sometimes, there were all kinds of people on the mercenary planet, and you could get some information that you couldn't get from regular channels. This information also helped Yuan Jing complete his mission. "Cousin, sit down and let's drink and chat. I have plenty of time."
"Okay." He Chen responded happily.
The Mercenary Planet has undergone a lot of changes in the past two years. It was once invincible, especially the Wolf Mercenary Group, which later became the only one in the plot. Now it has become weak. Yuan Jing and He Chen also have a share of the credit for this, because every time when Qi Feng's whereabouts were found out, Yuan Jing gave some specious information to the Wolf Mercenary Group through He Chen. In order to get his daughter back, Captain Ruan distracted a lot of his energy and could not focus on the development of the mercenary group, let alone target the Fenglei Mercenary Team, which gave the Fenglei Mercenary Team a living space.
Yuan Jing also provided He Chen with some precious potions, which helped He Chen and the mercenary team to improve their strength. However, the Fenglei Mercenary Team pursued a low-key strategy and secretly expanded their influence without attracting the attention of the Sharp Wolf Mercenary Group.
The two chatted about the situation on the mercenary planet and the current situation of the empire. Yuan Jing had always kept in touch with He Chen, so although he had never been to the mercenary planet, he was very familiar with the various forces on the mercenary planet. Those star pirates were not always hiding in the dark. Sometimes they would come to the mercenary planet under a different identity, or even already have a cover identity on the mercenary planet to facilitate their actions.
"This is the intelligence I found out this time, cousin. Do you really not need me to lead the Fenglei Mercenary Team to join this operation? Your target is too obvious. On the contrary, it will be less likely for me to attract the other party's attention." He Chen said worriedly. Even he could see that Yuan Jing's actions over the past year were aimed at the star pirates, and the ultimate target would be the Black Spider Star Pirates. How could other forces in the empire not see it? Maybe they were waiting for Yuan Jing to take the initiative to get involved.
"Don't worry, cousin. I won't act rashly. They have set a trap for me, but I am trying to use this opportunity to lure them out. Cousin, I will stay alive and well. There are people on the Imperial Star waiting for me to return." Yuan Jing said with a smile.
He Chen opened his eyes wide and looked at his cousin in surprise. Could it be that his cousin had found his other half? "Is it the person you like? Who is it? Does my cousin know him?"
Yuan Jing raised the corners of his mouth, and at this moment his ordinary face became lively: "I'm afraid that if I tell you, it will scare my cousin."
He Chen said speechlessly: "Cousin, is your mental endurance so fragile? Tell me and see if he will be scared."
Yuan Jing's eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly: "It's General Wei."
"Puff!" He Chen spat out a mouthful of wine. Yuan Jing was prepared and dodged to the side, avoiding it perfectly.
He Chen coughed a few times, and seeing Yuan Jing looking like he was enjoying the show, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was really scared. You didn't lie to me, your cousin, did you?"
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows: "What do you think, cousin? When will you bring me a cousin-in-law?"
He Chen wiped his face. He was sure that Yuan Jing would not lie to him about this matter, but he really needed time to digest it. He didn't care about talking about cousin-in-law. He asked in surprise: "So, General Wei will be my cousin-in-law?"
"Yes." Yuan Jing bared his teeth.
"It seems pretty good." He Chen imagined the situation where General Wei called him cousin. His heart trembled and a feeling of joy rose up. This feeling was very good and he couldn't wait.
