“How many days has this kid been asleep?” Long Qifeng said speechlessly, standing by Lu Chenxing’s bed.
If it weren’t for the repeated checks that all came back clear, he would have suspected that Lu Chenxing had already sacrificed himself heroically in the beast tide!
“It’s been three days, hasn’t it? Why isn’t he awake yet?” Dan Qiuchan rested her chin on her hand, saying boredly.
Zhan Wushuang, who was peeling an orange by the window, popped two segments into his mouth and mumbled, “The specialist sent by the higher-ups said there’s no rush, so why are you rushing?”
Although he said that, he was probably the most anxious among everyone present.
After all, Lu Chenxing was from Loshen City, a talent discovered first by Zhan Wushuang and Long Qifeng, and it was he who recommended him to the military. This alone was a great merit!
And the fact that Lu Chenxing could solve the Plague and Blood Frenzy issues would be counted as additional merit!
Once Lu Chenxing reaches Tier 3, he will be able to create Tier 3 Dispelling Technique cards, allowing Tier 3 and Tier 4 warriors to fight without worries. Everyone can then work together to kill these two disgusting Strange Beast that have plagued humanity for a long time. This is yet another merit!
As for Tier 5 warriors, they can already withstand the rule baptism, so they have other methods to remove Blood Frenzy and don't need it.
And Zhan Wushuang and Dan Qiuchan could also take this opportunity to return to the battlefield. For both of them, being late Tier 6, if they wanted to seek a breakthrough, they could only do so on the front lines; there was no opportunity in the rear.
Moreover, neither of them liked being officials; they found it troublesome and preferred the straightforwardness of fighting Strange Beast on the front lines!
Unfortunately, all these matters had to wait until Lu Chenxing woke up to be implemented one by one. General Ye, who was in charge of the Eastern War Zone, after learning about this, specifically sent a specialist over to personally confirm the truth of the matter.
If the matter was truly feasible, then preparations for war would likely begin in the next few months!
After all, it was a war, and it involved continuous attacks on two Little Worlds. This was no small matter. Logistics, supplies, tactical arrangements, and everything else had to be planned in advance; there was no room for carelessness!
Just as the three of them were anxiously awaiting their share of the merit, Lu Chenxing, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
On his handsome face, those already beautiful eyes now had an added touch of Spiritual Sense, becoming even clearer, like a limpid spring.
This was the external manifestation of “Spiritual Sense,” but if anyone observed carefully, they would find that his eyes seemed to have no change compared to before; they were still the same eyes, but the feeling they gave off was different.
Noticing Lu Chenxing waking up, the gazes of the three people present immediately focused on him. The stares of three Tier 6 powerhouses left Lu Chenxing bewildered.
He scratched his head, touched his face, and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
All three of them noticed Lu Chenxing’s change, but no one said much. After exchanging glances, Dan Qiuchan was the first to speak, asking softly, “How are you, Little Lu? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Her voice was incredibly gentle, but it completely contradicted her usual demeanor. If Green Vine were here, she would probably have goosebumps all over, but Lu Chenxing didn’t know how she usually was, so he didn’t find anything amiss.
“Huh?” Lu Chenxing carefully felt his body parts, then moved around a bit. After confirming that no parts were missing, he said, “Thank you for your concern, Mayor Dan. I feel very good. My spiritual power and magic power are both very full right now.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really!”
“Then let’s go now! Follow me!” Before Lu Chenxing could react, Dan Qiuchan grabbed his wrist, enveloped him in spiritual energy, and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the Loshen City military headquarters!
“Wait…” Lu Chenxing hadn’t even finished speaking when he found himself already at the entrance of the Loshen City military headquarters. Long Qifeng and Zhan Wushuang were also there, on his left and right. All three were smiling, showing no signs of impropriety.
Only Lu Chenxing looked at his hospital gown and said speechlessly, “At least let me change my clothes…”
“Bah, what’s the big deal? A man isn’t bothered by trifles! Hahaha!” Dan Qiuchan suddenly let out a hearty laugh completely different from before. The stark contrast made Lu Chenxing’s goosebumps fall to the floor!
“Then you should at least tell me what we’re here for, right?” Lu Chenxing rolled his eyes.
“Oh, my, I was too excited and forgot to tell you.” Dan Qiuchan explained with a bit of embarrassment.
Roughly, it was about how his Dispelling Technique could solve the Blood Frenzy and Plague issues, which they reported to their superiors. This alarmed General Ye, the head of their Eastern War Zone, an Tier 8 powerhouse, who then sent a specialist to verify the truth of the matter.
The Plague didn't need verification; the main thing that needed to be verified was Blood Frenzy.
For this, the specialist even brought some Strange Beast infected with Blood Frenzy, and now they were just waiting for him, the protagonist, to make his appearance!
“Oh, so, you mean, as long as it’s confirmed that I can dispel abnormal statuses, I’ll be unconditionally provided with any resources to reach Tier 3? And then there’ll be a large sum of military merits credited to my account?” Lu Chenxing stroked his chin, thinking, “There’s such a good thing?”
He then glanced at Zhan Wushuang and the others, whose faces were practically blooming with smiles, and knew that their benefits must also be considerable. Otherwise, these three wouldn’t be so eager, dragging him here without even giving him time to change.
“That’s right! How about it, clear now?” Zhan Wushuang laughed.
Seeing this, Lu Chenxing nodded, “Mm, clear. So, where are the specialist and those Strange Beast?”
“The specialist is right here!” A gentle male voice came from not far away. Lu Chenxing looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw a general with a face like jade and a refined demeanor standing not far away. Seeing Lu Chenxing look over, he extended his hand, bowed his head, and smiled, “I am Song Lijie, Regimental Commander of the 56th Division of the 138th Demon Slaying Army. Young friend Lu, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
The 56th Division of the 138th Army? Isn’t that the division Wang Qibing is in? Lu Chenxing thought to himself as he shook hands with him.
“I’ve already watched your combat footage. All I can say is that it’s astounding. If it weren’t for you, who knows how many people would have died in this secret realm. You’ve rendered a great service this time!” Saying this, Song Lijie took out a red box and handed it to Lu Chenxing.
He then continued, “This is a Second-Class Merit military medal, and 50,000 military merits have already been deposited into your account; you can withdraw them at any time. Also, your military rank has been promoted to Lieutenant, and the types of items you can exchange with military merits have also increased accordingly.”
Lu Chenxing reached out and took the red brocade box, opened it to take a look. The golden military medal shone brightly in the sunlight, but he then put it into his spatial ring, and then politely said, “Thank you, Regimental Commander Song.”
“You’re welcome, you deserve it.” Song Lijie still smiled gracefully.
To be honest, this Second-Class Merit military medal didn’t mean much to Lu Chenxing, because he didn’t really want to join the military and be constrained by others. Just having a cooperative position like this was enough, and it offered more freedom.
So, for him, this military medal was actually just a souvenir, but he still kept it carefully, after all, he earned it with his own strength.
