"He seems really capable," Ji Yueyao murmured.
Mu Yanxuan saw that Ji Yueyao seemed to be in a daze, and he immediately became annoyed again. Fine, he regretted telling Ji Yueyao about other men, okay?
"Ji Yueyao, how much do you know about the Nanxiao base? If you go there, what do you plan to do?" Mu Yanxuan decisively changed the subject.
“Unlike the Xiyu Base, where you need an identity card to check in, the people there are divided into three categories. The first category is the upper class, whose members are all elites of the Nanxiao Base, possessing extremely powerful influence.” Ji Yueyao paused, having already thoroughly researched the basic situations of the major powers in Country C, so she spoke of this without any difficulty. “The second category is the middle class, mostly ordinary people with considerable strength, highly skilled in life and trade, serving as the economic hub of the Nanxiao Base. The last category is the lower class, who are basically enslaved by the upper and middle classes. Generally, their lives are not very good. Each category wears a badge on their chest, and in the Nanxiao Base, people don't recognize people, only their badges.”
Mu Yanxuan nodded, indicating that Ji Yueyao was right. "So, what are your plans after you arrive at the Nanxiao base?"
“Those who just joined the Xiyu base were all considered lower class. Then, they could choose which category to become based on their abilities. If someone had great strength, they could be directly classified as upper class.” Ji Yueyao’s eyes darkened slightly as she said this. “However, becoming upper class in this way is too weak. At this point, they need middle-class people with strength to help them stabilize their position. After I arrive at the Nanxiao base, I plan to directly challenge the upper class and take their positions, but dealing with the middle-class people is not something that can be done overnight. I can only wait and see how things go when I get there.”
"Did you come up with this last night?" Mu Yanxuan asked, indicating that Ji Yueyao had really thought of everything she could and should do.
"Hmm." Ji Yueyao nodded, looking at Mu Yanxuan with a blank expression. "Is something wrong?"
"No." Mu Yanxuan had a faint smile in his eyes. He raised his hand and played with her short hair, which was smooth, like stroking a cat's fur. "I have placed the middle-ranking people you need in the Nanxiao base. If you need them, just say the word and I will make them obey your orders."
"Hey, you've already helped me so much... Don't touch my hair!" Ji Yueyao's eyes widened, and she scratched her head a little embarrassedly. Why was this guy staring at her like that, like she was looking at a pet? It was really strange.
"It's alright. My influence in the Nanxiao base is only average at best. If you want to gain a foothold there, your own strength is essential." Mu Yanxuan didn't want to let go of the hair in her hand, but seeing that Ji Yueyao seemed to be getting angry, she reluctantly let go.
“Of course.” Ji Yueyao clenched her fist. The thought of using her strength to fight for the power and status she once longed for made her blood boil. Looking into Mu Yanxuan’s dark eyes, Ji Yueyao suddenly said, “You must have people in all the major powers in C country, right?”
"Hmm." Mu Yanxuan nodded slightly.
"Why?" Ji Yueyao asked curiously. "Other forces don't have enough strength to resist you, and you don't need to place people in every base, do you?"
"Ji Yueyao." Mu Yanxuan raised his hand and flicked Ji Yueyao's forehead, gently curving his lips. "Country C is mine. Since it's mine, how could I allow a situation that's no longer under my control to occur?"
One day, I will reclaim these four bases and unify Country C.
The words were plain, like a breeze passing by, without causing the slightest ripple. But Ji Yueyao could clearly hear an inspiring domineering aura and an air of supreme authority in them.
Mu Yanxuan... Ji Yueyao stared blankly at the perfect man in front of her, her heart trembling involuntarily. What kind of person are you?
When you actually meet this person, you realize that he is not exactly the same as the one described in the book. The very existence of this real man is awe-inspiring.
"Ji Yueyao, what about you?" Mu Yanxuan lowered his head and leaned close to Ji Yueyao's cheek affectionately. "What are you thinking?"
"What do you mean, what do you think?" Ji Yueyao was momentarily stunned.
"And what is your goal?" Mu Yanxuan murmured.
"My goal?" Ji Yueyao was stunned. She had been in this world for so long, what was her goal, what did she hope for?
Get rid of Zhong Jue? Disrupt the Xiyu base that displeased her? All of these were possible. Ji Yueyao shook her head. These weren't her goals… What she wanted was status, power, and strength!
"Ji Yueyao?" Mu Yanxuan saw that she was spacing out and ignoring him again, so he continued to ruffle her hair in annoyance.
"Stop rubbing it." Ji Yueyao pouted, swallowing back the words she was about to say. "I'll tell you one day what I'm longing for, but I don't want to say it now."
"Alright, Ji Yueyao, I'll wait until you're willing to tell me." Mu Yanxuan was even more pleased, and the pleasure of seeing Ji Yueyao's flustered state increased even more.
Firefox resolutely refuses to look in the rearview mirror; it hurts its eyes!
"General, we're about to reach the blank area," Firefox reported softly to Mu Yanxuan after glancing at the map and navigation instruments.
"Watch your eyes," Mu Yanxuan said calmly.
Looking out the window at the vast expanse of white, Ji Yueyao wondered if this was the blank area.
The Blank Area, the most mysterious place in Country C, is located between the barren land and the Southwest Military Region Headquarters. It is not very large in total area. Because the soil here is all pure white, it looks like a blank space, hence the name Blank Area.
In this place, not a single alien can be found. For some reason, once an alien arrives here, a large number of them die. In the late 20th century, all the major powers in the world investigated this place, believing that there was a natural enemy here that could eliminate aliens. However, no matter who it was, they all came up empty-handed.
Soil taken out for research soon becomes ordinary soil, and no one can find anything when researching in this place. In the end, all the ambitious people lose confidence and leave in despair. Apart from the passing human traffic, no other species can be seen in this place, only white soil and white soil.
Seeing Ji Yueyao staring intently at the white expanse of soil outside, Mu Yanxuan gently covered her eyes with his hand. "We're going directly to the Nanxiao Base through the military's access route, so after crossing the blank area, it'll be a two-day drive before we reach the Nanxiao Base. Hmm... don't stare straight at the blank area, it'll hurt your eyes."
