Chapter 110: Chapter 77: The Cicada Temporarily Sheds Its Shell

The person who arrived was none other than Zhou Zhengde.

This time, he had brought back quite a few valuable items from the front lines.

First was a certificate as a [D5 Combined Combat Zone Special Weapons Expert].

This certificate could open various military channels for Wang Jixuan, allowing him to enjoy direct military protection under the identity of Wang Zheng.

With this certificate, Wang Jixuan could freely enter and exit all fortresses in D5 Combined Combat Zone and could regularly apply to the headquarters for legitimate research funding (various materials).

Next was a medal representing the highest technological honor of the combat zone, the [Fifth Technology Medal].

This medal could attest to the exceptional contributions of the young comrade, Wang Zheng, in humanity’s fight against the Blade Beasts.

Seeing these two items, Uncle Tai was very excited, but Daoist Wang remained much calmer.

However, Daoist Wang soon saw the third item that got him extremely excited.

Zhou Zhengde carried a case that contained twenty-five...

High-quality Basic Blade Beast Crystal Cores!

Daoist Wang liked this reward.

Spirit Stones were indeed the hardest currency in their Cultivation World!

Daoist Wang quickly caught on.

Clearly, the military’s Commander had become aware that he was mining those Blade Beasts’ Crystal Cores.

Perhaps because the Demon-breaking Dagger he presented proved his greater value, the military had not forced him to surrender his method of using Spiritual Energy?

Although Wang Jixuan was happy, he always remained somewhat cautious at heart.

There were quite a few spies from the Thirteenth Institute within the military;

Lingtong had also casually mentioned that there were some ’extreme evils’ within the military;

There is no black and white two-pole situation in the world, a sufficiently large organization will inevitably have intertwined interests, generating multiple wills within itself.

This box of Crystal Cores...mixed feelings.

"Black Storm is especially famous now; you really know how to find the camera."

Zhou Zhengde punched Wang Jixuan’s shoulder lightly, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a smile,

"How are you feeling now? Any problems?"

"I’m fine, don’t feel anything."

Wang Jixuan simply said:

"The biggest issue right now is this young man we just rescued. Thirteenth Institute insists on seeing him alive or his body if deceased, their attitude will be very tough."

"I’ll handle that; I have excellent administrative experience."

Zhou Zhengde directly asked,

"Can the Demon-breaking Dagger’s improvement process be done in three years?"

Three years?

Daoist Wang had originally planned to complete it in two to three months, but since it had come to this...

"It should be doable, but I shouldn’t speak too definitively, maybe three to five years."

Daoist Wang calmly responded.

Zhou Zhengde sighed in relief, "That’s good, I’ll report to grandfather later... that lance seems more advanced than the Demon-breaking Dagger."

"Ordinary people cannot use such a weapon."

Wang Jixuan decisively said:

"I don’t want this technology to fall into the hands of Thirteenth Institute; it would greatly enhance their Spiritual Ability Users.

"In my current perception, the Spiritual Ability Users of Spiritual Ability City no longer consider themselves human."

"That is the trend in Spiritual Ability City. However, the Spiritual Ability Users on the front lines of various combat zones and those born in Thirteenth Institute after we sent our severely injured soldiers there are still pretty good."

Zhou Zhengde stroked his chin, deep in thought.

He had already received news that a Level B Uncle Feng was on his way here.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Can we just eliminate these two Level B Spiritual Ability Users?"

"No, that would give Thirteenth Institute Headquarters a full opportunity to intervene in D5. Although all the combat zones are dissatisfied with the Thirteenth Institute, due to geographical restrictions and the important role of Spiritual Ability Users on the battlefield, Thirteenth Institute always manages to swagger about over us."

Zhou Zhengde murmured,

"I suddenly understand why grandfather was rushing me to come back and said I could solve the problem here.

"Next, it’s actually not about physical fighting, but political maneuvering; grandfather is consciously training me on how to wrestle with the Thirteenth Institute."

"Wang Zheng, leave this matter to me, you rest."

Confidence and strength radiated from Zhou Zhengde’s deep eyes!

"Now it’s my battlefield."

Daoist Wang gave a thumbs up, picked up the certificate, the medal, and carried the box of Crystal Cores.

"Do well, you’ve got a bright future, lad. Now I’m off to give Lingtong a massage; she needs to rest well."

Zhou Zhengde: ...

Who is he calling lad? He’s already in his thirties!

But, it had only been a few days...

Zhou Zhengde tilted his head watching the two walking one after the other to Lingtong’s room, first "tch" then "oh boy" and then "hiss" sucking in a breath of cool air.

The Half-human Mecha Deep Sea came over, asking softly, "Got any juicy gossip, Zhengde? Share some."

"I just got back."

Zhou Zhengde decided, once the situation calmed down, the Blade Beasts were repelled, and Thirteenth Institute behaved, he would participate in the gatherings of young people in Middle City and Upper City.

He wanted to experience a sweet romance.

His last real romance was with Wei Na; sweet as it was, it was a bit...

Too exhausting.

...

Zhou Zhengde immediately got into work mode.

Using Wan Xiaoqi’s operating console, he swiftly contacted the Fortress Governor, his own mother, the Commander of the Fortress Defense Army, Colonel Dongfang, and coordinated the internal forces of the fortress.

Five minutes later.

A multi-rotor flying device landed near the supply station; Deep Sea and Uncle Tai carried a securely wrapped ammo box onto the flying device, which quickly left the fortress’s external expansion zone C, heading directly to the D5 Combined Combat Zone General Command Center.

Twelve minutes later.

The Mechanical Girl Red Snake left the external expansion area C, accompanying the military’s Blade Beast reconnaissance team, providing protection for the reconnaissance team.

Meanwhile, the security at Lingtong’s supply station was lifted; three hundred soldiers mostly departed, and Zheng Shiduo took his team members and moved out.
