009
Meng Li was a loner when he was in military school. After graduation, he had no intention of joining any team. He went on his first mission by himself.
The basic task of every C-level psychic is to hand in five C-level beast crystal cores.
Meng Li was calm, restrained and patient. He specifically looked for lone C-level beasts and successfully collected five crystal cores. However, he was targeted by a greedy mercenary team on his way back.
The five-man team had four middle-aged combat mercenaries who were all experienced. Meng Li had a hard time coping and was seriously injured. He only managed to escape by chance thanks to the unexpected poisonous fog.
Not wanting to worry his family, Meng Li could only go to the clinic for treatment.
Seeing that the points he had just exchanged were turned into medical fees and taken away, Meng Li truly understood the significance of the team recruiting therapists - saving lives and saving money.
Having experienced the dangers of being alone, Meng Li went to the association recruitment area.
She didn't like to waste her time interviewing with a strong team and then be picked on by others, so she found a rookie team that looked pretty good and showed her basic information. The other party was very surprised and accepted her unsociable personality. In this way, Meng Li became a member of the "Steady and Steady" team.
Meng Li's first cooperation with "Steady and Steady" was safe. The four new teammates admired Meng Li's strong combat power, and Meng Li was also satisfied with their stability.
This Friday was Meng Li's third cooperation with "Steady and Steady", and it was also the fourth basic task she received.
There were many dangers outside the base, and no one could always be blessed by good luck. This time, Meng Li and the other five encountered two B-level monsters.
Meng Li dealt with one alone, and the other four dealt with one. Noticing that the teammates were retreating and about to suffer casualties, Meng Li released her spirit to help.
At that time, Meng Li thought that as long as the five of them united as one, there was a 70% chance that they could kill the two B-level monsters.
Who would have thought that the four teammates actually took advantage of the B-level beast chasing them to be entangled by the spirit of the fire scorpion, abandoned Meng Li and ran away, and even thought that Meng Li would definitely die, and directly took most of the crystal cores killed by Meng Li to their captain and healer to complete the task first.
Meng Li would not forgive his former teammates who abandoned him, but he would not continue to fight alone because of this matter.
Instead of looking for strangers who had no understanding, Xu Qiao, who had experience in cooperation and was bright and generous, was obviously a good choice.
Meng Li followed Xu Qiao to the recruitment booth that Sun Fushan had just set up. Qin Chi had already sat next to Sun Fushan in advance. He was calm and at ease in the downtown area, and was more in line with the image of a captain than Sun Fushan.
Xu Qiao smiled and introduced Meng Li's strength to the two: "Fire and poison double C, even the strongest B-level student in our class suffered from her."
Although Xu Qiao did not exaggerate her strength, Meng Li still explained: "He was not prepared at the time. If I face him now, I may not win."
Sun Fushan was stunned.
A C-level player, facing a B-level opponent, did not admit defeat directly but said "may not necessarily win", which means there is still a possibility of winning?
This must be a big shot in the C-level!
After being shocked and ecstatic, Sun Fushan suddenly calmed down, looked at the three people around him, and first added Xu Qiao as a friend, and then sent a message: [You are all so strong, you can definitely form a team by yourself. It’s okay for me, just keep recruiting. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry. If I really can’t get enough people, I have bodyguards at home to take care of me. ]
Xu Qiao looked at the average-looking slightly fat captain who was staring down at the communication bracelet: [Bodyguard? ]
Sun Fushan: [Well, I’m only C-level. My family is afraid that I will encounter danger outside, so they always arrange bodyguards to take me to do tasks. But I don’t think this can improve my strength at all, so I want to form a team by myself. ]
At first, Sun Fushan wanted to join a ready-made team, but others disliked him for his lack of experience and stuttering, so Sun Fushan had to be the captain and recruit people himself.
Xu Qiao: [Your family should be quite wealthy, why didn’t you hire a senior therapist to treat your stuttering?]
Sun Fushan: [I hired one, but he said my stuttering is caused by psychological factors and the therapist can only treat physical injuries.]
Xu Qiao understood: [It doesn’t matter, Meng Li doesn’t talk much. We can’t make loud noises when we go out to do tasks. We should pay more attention to ability. Let’s not chat alone all the time. You create a group and I’ll bring Qin Chi and Meng Li in.]
Seeing this, Sun Fushan raised his head, first looked at Qin Chi, met his peaceful gaze, and then looked at Meng Li. This person was cold and didn’t seem to be easy to get along with.
Sun Fushan quickly buried his head again and silently created a group. The group name was the same as the team name.
Xu Qiao gestured to Meng Li to sit inside the stall, where there were two empty chairs.
After sitting down, Sun Fushan also sent the first message in the group: [Hello, I am very happy to form a team with you. I am not good at speaking, so it is more time-saving to chat with you this way. You can just speak directly, I have no problem with hearing. ]
The three looked up.
Sun Fushan's face immediately turned red and his eyes avoided.
Qin Chi: [It doesn't matter, typing is also very convenient. ]
Meng Li: [Yes. ]
Xu Qiao: [It's good, it fits our team name very well. ]
Sun Fushan: [Ah, I just came up with the team name casually. If you have better ideas, we can change it. By the way, let's change the team leader as well. You are all more suitable than me. ]
Meng Li: [I won't be the team leader. ]
Qin Chi: [I am a teacher. I may be tired from correcting homework, so I am not suitable to be the team leader anymore. ]
Xu Qiao: [@Sun Fushan, I work in a clinic, how about you? ]
Sun Fushan: [I am a librarian. ]
Xu Qiao: [Are you busy? ]
Sun Fushan: [It's quite leisurely, working from nine to five. 】
Xu Qiao:【Then you should be the captain. We believe in you.】
Qin Chi:【Thank you for your hard work, captain.】
Meng Li:【Thank you for your hard work.】
Sun Fushan blushed:【Okay, I will try my best to be a good captain. By the way, have you completed all the tasks for the first half of the year?】
Xu Qiao: [Qin Chi and I haven't yet.]
Meng Li: [It's all in vain, we have to do it again.]
A mercenary team with poor strength or bad luck may have to go out several times to kill enough monsters.
Xu Qiao guessed what happened to Meng Li, and Sun Fushan didn't think too much: [Then let's choose the tasks we want to take first, and then go to register the team members' information later to get them directly?]
All three agreed, and finally chose a task for next Sunday.
At 10:45, the four walked out of the association hall.
Sun Fushan drove the car himself, and after being rejected by offering to take Meng Li home, he left first in embarrassment.
Meng Li was going to take the subway.
Xu Qiao knew that Qin Chi had an appointment at noon, so she asked Qin Chi to go, and she was going to go with Meng Li to the nearby subway station.
Qin Chi looked at the communication bracelet and said, "There's a dinner at twelve o'clock, I have to go home to change clothes, let's go back together."
Meng Li walked away by herself.
Xu Qiao followed Qin Chi into the car, and Meng Li's figure was no longer on the road outside.
Xu Qiao: "We three have made three contributions each. Do you really not mind?"
Qin Chi said with a smile: "I was worried that you would think I was too old and there was a generation gap between us."
Except for him, Xu Qiao and the other two were only 20 years old.
Xu Qiao also joked: "How is that possible? Besides, with you supporting the team, other teams dare not look down on us."
Qin Chi: "Well, I'll just treat it as a practice for students."
At 11:55, Qin Chi parked the car in front of a villa located in a quiet hillside in the central area.
The principal of the Third Military Academy, Dong Mingliang, had been waiting at the gate a few minutes in advance. When he saw Qin Chi, who was dressed in a suit, coming out of the black car, Dong Mingliang opened his mouth in shock. Until Qin Chi walked in front of him, Dong Mingliang still had that dull expression. If I had to describe it, it was like seeing someone put a tuxedo on a director.
"Long time no see."
"You, why are you like this?"
Facing Qin Chi's gentle and peaceful smile, Dong Mingliang covered his arm with goose bumps and took three steps back.
He was still more accustomed to the solemn, cold-faced, and serious Admiral Qin in military uniform.
Qin Chi took back his empty hand and smiled, "Have you changed? In fact, I have always wanted to live like this, but I didn't have the opportunity before."
Dong Mingliang's eyes moved down to Qin Chi's white shirt with one button unbuttoned, and the beige suit jacket on the outside.
He still felt awkward, but he had to admit that the aura Qin Chi showed at this time was indeed more suitable for such an outfit.
"Go in first, give me a few minutes to get used to it. Also, what are you holding?"
Qin Chi: "I remember you like to drink, so I bought two bottles. It's my first visit, so I can't go home empty-handed."
Dong Mingliang: "..."
Qin Chi admired the scenery around the villa, but he was actually a little out of tune with Dong Mingliang: "Is this your home, or is it?"
Dong Mingliang: "Don't mention it, this is the villa allocated by the Third Military Academy to the successive principals. Uncle Li saw that Uncle Luo gave the position of the principal of the Second Academy to Lao Wei, so he followed suit and gave me the Third Academy, including this villa. It's deserted. I don't live here at all. I know you don't want to attract attention, so I came here temporarily to entertain you."
He was only 38 years old, busy with military affairs, and had to squeeze in time to accompany his wife and children. How could he have the time to manage the military academy?
The old men said that young principals were more likely to get along with the cadets and were more suitable for enhancing the attractiveness of the army, so they had to do it.
Suddenly, Dong Mingliang's eyes lit up and he asked Qin Chi: "Since you are here to recuperate and you are going to find something to kill time in the military academy, why don't you come to the Third School to be my principal for two years? Being a teacher means correcting homework and being angry with students. How can it be easier than being a principal?"
Qin Chi: "The principal shoulders the honor of the school. The pressure is too great. It is not suitable for recuperation."
Dong Mingliang: "..."
The two came to the restaurant. The cooking aunt put out several dishes and walked away.
The principal and teacher were just joking. Dong Mingliang was more concerned about Qin Chi's physical condition: "You are fine, why do you suddenly want to recuperate?"
Since the establishment of the base, the threat from alien beasts, especially sea beasts, has never stopped. Both the S-level marshals and the soldiers below have been sticking to the front line. Except for a few short vacations, the soldiers can only leave the battlefield for a long time if they break their arms and legs or even die. For other injuries, don't be afraid, there are therapists!
Therefore, the Northeast Base suddenly approved Qin Chi for a three-year vacation. There must be something inside.
Qin Chi smiled and asked, "Besides you and Lao Wei, who else here knows that I'm here?"
Dong Mingliang said seriously, "Don't worry, it's just the two of us. Even if others know, they must have known through other channels."
Qin Chi nodded, raised his wine glass, and toasted to Dong Mingliang.
Dong Mingliang was about to criticize the politeness of his former comrade-in-arms, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
Qin Chi's hand holding the wine glass was originally slender and white, but the moment Dong Mingliang looked over, golden red scales quickly crawled all over the back of Qin Chi's hand and spread into the long sleeves of his shirt.
Dong Mingliang stood up in horror: "How could this happen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden red scales on Qin Chi's hand disappeared again, so fast that it seemed like an illusion just now.
After Dong Mingliang sat down again, Qin Chi looked at the transparent wine in the glass swaying slightly and said, "Professor Wu said that I have killed too many people in the past ten years. The more rational and calm I am, the more violent and bloodthirsty my spirit body becomes. When the desire of the spirit body overwhelms my rationality, it will try to take over this body. Professor Wu defines this phenomenon as 'beastialization'."
Dong Mingliang frowned: "Can, can it be cured?"
Qin Chi: "There are too few cases, and Professor Wu is not sure, let me try first."
Dong Mingliang: "Too few cases? So, you are not the first person to have symptoms of animal transformation?"
Qin Chi: "Yes, but others have found that in the early days of the new era, the front line was under long-term high pressure, and a few soldiers with animal spirits had animal transformation, but these people either died or chose to conceal it for personal reasons such as fear. There are almost no examples available for research."
Dong Mingliang released his brown bear spirit.
Condensed into a huge brown bear two meters tall, it snatched the braised pork on the table and took it away, hiding at the other end and eating it crazily.
The external spirit cannot really digest food, but it can absorb the energy contained in the food.
Dong Mingliang was in a complicated mood: "I have killed for so many more years than you, and I must have killed more than you. Will I become a beast one day?"
Qin Chi lowered his eyes: "Not necessarily. In addition to killing, whether a superpower turns into a beast also depends on personality and experience."
"Don't worry too much. Even if there are such symptoms, as long as the superpower can calm down in time, he can regain control of his body. After all, the spirit body is a part of us, not an enemy."
There are degrees of beast transformation. Qin Chi's recuperation this time is to stop the continued expansion of the scope of beast transformation.
Dong Mingliang: "What degree are you at now?"
Qin Chi smiled: "It is completely controllable."
