Chapter 96: A temporary worker like you
"Why?"
“…”
Lin Xi was speechless. Why was she even asking why? The answer was right in front of her, and she was still asking why?
Is this intentional?
"Your Dawn Organization is the academy that developed the second heart?"
"I don't think you're that stupid." Lin Xi replied, but didn't give a direct answer.
Finally, he thought that he couldn't say too much to Shi Changqing, so he just had to say enough. As long as the other party's interest was piqued, the rest would be fine.
He had to leave, otherwise if he stayed any longer, Chang Qing would probably use violence to make him confess everything.
Shi Changqing indeed thought so. The other party wanted to say something but didn't say it, throwing her a lead to attract her interest. It was obvious that he was keeping her in suspense.
It would be faster if she could just be tortured into confessing.
The other party seemed to have sensed something as well. When he looked up, he saw Lin Xi summoning the mecha and punching away from the ground. When he was about to rush out, Shi Changqing grabbed his right leg with one hand and pulled him down suddenly.
Lin Xi fell heavily to the ground, and Shi Changqing stepped forward and held his neck:
"It's a rare opportunity for us to meet again and reminisce about the past, but you're leaving after just a few words. Don't you want the Heart Source Beast's heart anymore?"
Lin Xi felt like he had eaten shit: "We are not familiar with each other, how can we talk about the past?"
"Besides, I've already given you this den, what else do you want?"
"Also, I'm actually from the Imperial Military District. If you take action here, you'll really attract people from the Imperial Military District."
"You don't want some of your deeds to be exposed, do you?"
Shi Changqing smiled and said, "I have lived an honest life. What deeds should not be exposed?"
As he spoke, he tightened his grip on her neck.
Lin Xi blurted out the words and then felt annoyed. He forgot that Shi Changqing didn't like being threatened and he suffered the same loss last time.
Shi Changqing aimed at his chest. Lin Xi felt his gaze and quickly hugged his chest, saying in fear, "No way? You're still coming?"
"Don't you still have two hearts? What are you afraid of?"
"It's gone! It's gone!" Lin Xi shouted loudly.
This is the only heart!
Seeing the other person's reaction, Shi Changqing said in surprise, "Oh? So the second heart can only be used once, right?"
“…”
Damn it! I got tricked.
All of a sudden, the sound of light footsteps made the two people stunned.
Shi Changqing let go of his hand and stood up to look. A tall and slender figure was walking towards him from the corner.
Lin Xi quickly got up from the ground. He was really a savior and came at the right time.
He looked towards the shadows in front of him and saw the military uniform clearly with the backlight of the flashlight on the ground.
It's from the Imperial Military District.
"Hey, brother! I'm here." Lin Xi said, sounding like he had survived a disaster.
"You guy, why are you here just now?" His tone was as if he had met a relative, although he didn't know who this person was.
The other person walked over, his eyes wandering between them, moving down to the military district emblem on their bodies.
Finally, his eyes fell on Shi Changqing's face: "Sister, why are you here?"
"I didn't expect you to be here."
Lin Xi shook his head left and right as he looked at the two men.
"No, you know each other?" He didn't want to know the truth at all.
Although Shi Xinyu didn't recognize Lin Xi, she was from the same military district after all, so he could only nod and say, "Yes, I know her. She's my sister."
“.”
Shi Xinyu ignored Lin Xi's strange expression and looked at Shi Changqing and asked, "What were you doing just now?"
"Well, discuss some technical issues with your sister." Lin Xi interrupted.
Shi Xinyu did not act as his mission goal, so naturally he hoped to have less trouble.
"Let's go. This beast den has been discovered by your sister. Let's not take it from her. Let her take it."
Shi Xinyu glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said honestly: "You can't snatch my sister away from me."
“.”
Shi Changqing waved his hand: "Alright, thank you for giving it to me. If you don't leave, I will..."
Lin Xi quickly pulled Shi Xinyu away from here: "Let's go, let's go."
When the two of them reached the corner ahead, Chang Qing vaguely heard Lin Xi whisper, "Your sister is a bit fierce."
"My sister is not fierce."
“.”
Shi Changqing turned around and walked into the heart beast's nest. With the scimitar, it was indeed much easier to remove the heart.
One minute later.
Shi Changqing walked out of the nest with two hearts. The detector on the ground seemed to sense that the battle was over and quickly started scanning the location of the next heart source beast.
It was already dark when we came out from underground.
Shi Changqing looked at the stars in the sky and sighed, "Alas, it's just another ordinary day."
As I was about to return to the base, a soft voice of "sister" was heard from the woods nearby.
Shi Changqing turned his head and saw Shi Xinyu squatting in the grass beside him, pushing aside the leaves and sticking half of his head out.
“…”
Shi Changqing walked over and asked, "What?"
"When did you come?" Shi Xinyu asked.
"yesterday."
"I was here yesterday too, why don't I see you?"
Shi Changqing gave him a look that looked like he was an idiot. Their bases were far apart, so it was really a coincidence that they met.
Shi Xinyu also realized something and rubbed his nose awkwardly: "By the way, the person you met today is called Lin Xi. He is not from the Imperial Military District. He is a temporary worker like you."
"Like you, he's also good at using force to deal with alien beasts, but I heard he can control mechas."
"That's right, but is it really okay for you to reveal your teammates' information like this?" Shi Changqing glanced at him, and his indirect sense of integrity suddenly emerged.
"That's not intelligence, is it? It's basically known to everyone, even other military districts. Just like you being a temporary worker in the 23rd Military District and the Federal Military District, most people know this too. I only dared to tell you after I've learned about it. I assume you definitely want to know that person's information."
"Okay, brother. Please keep an eye on him for me. He's the subject of the second heart experiment."
Shi Xinyu was surprised. He didn't expect there would be such a background.
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
The half head in the grass shrank back, and the surroundings became silent in an instant.
Shi Changqing withdrew his gaze, walked out of the jungle, and returned to the base dormitory.
When she opened the dormitory door, the three of them were already gathered together, and she was the last one to come back.
This is not surprising.
What surprised Yan Shifeng was Shi Changqing's dirty coat, which was a mixture of blood and mud.
"Do you really not use mechas when you go on missions?" The legend of Shi Changqing is now circulating in the world. Basically, every person she meets will ask her the same question.
As Shi Changqing's classmate for three years, Liesel felt a strange sense of pride at the stranger's surprise, so she replied, "Of course. You'll see her too if you get the chance."
Zhuge Li nodded: "That's right."
Yan Shifeng thought of the three of them as classmates, and after hearing what they said, she became even more curious: "I heard that there are also a few people in other military regions who can kill alien beasts without mechas. I'm curious, how did you do it?"
Yan Shifeng's first words touched upon Liesel and the others' blind spots for gossip.
"Someone like Shi Changqing?"
"Yes, there are several military districts in the Imperial Federation and Polaris. Almost every military district has one or two. I heard that the 23rd Military District has several people with special skills like Shi Changqing during this external recruitment."
"Is there such a thing?" Liesel was shocked.
It was obvious that the two of them had just arrived and were not fully aware of the gossip.
Shi Changqing was not surprised. Ever since she met Bian Zhen and the others, she knew that the world was not what she had imagined.
But I didn’t expect that all the people hiding in the dark would show up at this time. Could it be that it was because she was exposed to the public?
"I was surprised when I heard the news. The power they exerted was the same as the power we use to control mechas."
Zhuge Li was fine after hearing this, but Lizel completely shrank after hearing it, feeling very complicated and uneasy. "No way? One Shi Changqing is so big, but there are so many 'Shi Changqing's' popping up at once?"
When Shi Changqing came out of the shower, he saw the three of them still discussing the deeds of the new recruits, and their eyes looked at him with curiosity from time to time.
She climbed into bed, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Seeing this, the three stopped talking. It was ten o'clock and time to go to bed.
The days on Liangyi Star were nothing new for Shi Changqing. Every day she did nothing but kill strange beasts. She hadn't seen Lin Xi since that day.
Shi Xinyu said that the other party had not been seen since that incident, and after learning more about it, he realized that the other party had left Liangyi Star.
Shi Changqing guessed that it was Shi Xinyu's fault. Having such a big thunder beside him might have frightened him. For this reason, she asked Shi Xinyu not to reveal their sibling relationship in public.
Shi Xinyu thought it made sense and agreed immediately.
However, there are still a few interesting things. One of the new recruits from the 23rd Military Region who arrived yesterday is a highly skilled warrior like her, and he uses a long sword as his main output force.
But before she could even get to the door, the other party had already come to her door.
"Shi Changqing, I heard that you can defeat the Heart Source Beast without a mecha."
At this moment, the two met in the Heart Source Beast's lair. Chang Qing had just taken out the heart from the Heart Source Beast completely, and heard these words when he looked up.
Shi Changqing looked at the heart in his hand, then glanced at the body on the ground, his eyes confused: "Ah?"
Chai Gan naturally saw the corpse on the ground. He just said that just to set the stage for what he would say next: "I've heard of you a lot. I'd like to exchange ideas with you on technology."
To put it bluntly, I just want to see if the other party is really as the news says.
For this purpose, he even specifically reported to the 23rd Military Region, with the aim of getting close to Shi Changqing.
“…….”
Shi Changqing: "Then let's start now."
After he finished speaking, he paused for three seconds. At the fourth second, Shi Changqing appeared in front of him and punched him. At the critical moment, the opponent quickly took out his long sword to block.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two forces, and Chai Gan frowned and increased his internal strength.
The crystal sound of weapons breaking rang in my ears.
With a loud bang!
The opponent's long sword broke, and Chai Gan reacted immediately and dodged sideways. Shi Changqing turned and came behind him when he turned sideways and slapped him with a palm.
The opponent stumbled forward several steps before steadying himself. Just as he was about to turn around and fight back, he heard Shi Changqing say, "If you continue fighting, it will be a violation of discipline."
Upon hearing this, Chai Gan gave up the idea of fighting back. He looked down at his broken knife. The power he had just displayed was indeed real. Shi Changqing really had real skills.
"You hit me too hard. Your knife is useless. I'll compensate you with another one."
As he spoke, Changqing threw the scimitar into his hand.
Chai Gan took it and took a look: "Isn't this a scimitar that everyone can get?"
"You're trying to fool me with that? I have it too."
The other party threw the scimitar back.
Shi Changqing caught it accurately: "Okay, as long as you have it."
After saying that, she turned and walked to the wall. Under the guidance of the detector, she broke the wall with a punch and took out the beating heart.
After cleaning up the nest, Shi Changqing left, and Chai Gan followed closely behind.
"Are you self-taught?" he asked curiously.
"no."
"Do you have a master?"
"right."
"who?"
"Old Lin."
Chai Gan was surprised. He didn't expect Shi Changqing to actually say it. He thought that the other party would reveal his master's teachings like everyone else.
"And you."
“Self-taught.”
Shi Changqing turned his head and glanced at him: "Self-taught?"
She was a little surprised, and was prepared for the other party to say the word "Lao Lin" as well.
"It's not really self-study. Anyway, I was bored before, so I looked for martial arts tutorials on the Internet, ordered a holographic course, and learned from the teacher here." Chai Gan said indifferently.
“Are these still sold online?”
"Isn't that a lot? There's all sorts of stuff, but it's not certain whether it's real or not."
“…” What he said is also correct.
"Is there still that teaching?" Shi Changqing asked.
Chai Gan glanced at her and said, "You want to steal the skills to improve yourself? Of course there are some on the Internet. Go find them yourself."
Anyway, he couldn't afford to give his own teaching course to someone he had only known for one day.
This person is already very strong, if he is strengthened any further he will be useless.
Shi Changqing didn't care about what the other party said. Instead, he thanked him for providing such important information.
The other party was able to learn such a skill. The person who taught him must be a professional.
That night, Chang Qing searched the Star Internet for the ancient martial arts inheritance that Chai Gan mentioned, and found that it really existed.
There are many varieties, some costing up to millions of star coins.
Some range from one to two thousand star coins.
It’s unclear whether it’s true or not, but the gimmick is indeed very strong.
At least when Shi Changqing was choosing products, the video ads shown by the other party, regardless of whether the special effects were maximized, at least made her excited.
If she hadn't experienced the fight herself and found that the special effects weren't so exaggerated and obvious, she would have been brainwashed into placing an order after watching it for a long time.
Finally, Chang Qing placed an order for all the teachings on martial arts inheritance on this page to be delivered to his villa on the Imperial Capital Star.
After she finishes her temporary job, she will go home and try them one by one.
I stayed on Liangyi Star for a month.
The Federal Military District began to let her pass. On the night Shi Changqing left, Lizel was shocked: "You left so soon?"
"Well, there's something else for me to do."
The next morning, Shi Changqing boarded the Federal Military District's exclusive spacecraft and went directly to his next post.
On the spaceship, there were several veteran soldiers from the Federal Military District, as well as a sergeant from the 11th Military District, a branch of the Federal Military District.
Ji Shaoyu.
