Chapter 187: Chapter 112: Extremely Precious Cultivation Resources!_2

"The missile was shot down mid-flight... do these people just smack their heads when they give orders? You think you can outplay the frontline troops with missiles?"

"Then, D5 dispatched a special task force, using a new mecha model, and just leveled the Spiritual Ability House inside Fortress 82."

"Hamanaka Natsuki was slow to react, leaving behind a ton of evidence, including proof that they directly used spiritual control over the commander of the garrison at Fortress 82."

"If you were that Devil Commander, what would you do?"

"Definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

"They already had the upper hand, and this incident could greatly arouse empathy among the major battle zones. If the Pan Battle Zone unifies again, Spiritual Ability City would shift from a position of internal advantage to one of disadvantage."

"However, these intel lead to one question."

"What question?" Tree Man Beta asked.

"Fu Jian is not doing well," Dragonfly Lady said with a complex look in her eyes, "The old Devil is probably not far from a breakdown of will, and he will definitely make a move against Spiritual Ability City soon, everyone knows this."

Shaman asked with concern, "Does this mean humans are about to have another civil war?"

"It’s not another one, it’s just a continuation of the war fifty years ago."

Dragonfly Lady frowned and clicked her tongue:

"We can’t control this, nor is it something for Level A or Level B Spirit Ability Users to worry about, finding a way to escape is what’s most important."

"Our specific mission from above is twofold: one is to investigate the specific events that occurred inside Fortress 82, which is our job and must be done well."

"The other is to carry out retribution."

Tree Man Beta asked in a low voice, "Then, are we going to execute the second order?"

"Old rules, let’s vote."

Dragonfly Lady stated simply:

"Based on the principle of seniors helping juniors, I must make it clear to you, if we cross this line and start attacking innocent humans directly, there will be two consequences."

"First, we become executioners and will be on the Military’s hit list."

"This list has always existed, don’t think the military forces around aren’t doing anything, they’re just enduring."

"Second, once our hands are stained with blood, we’ll become a squad trusted by the Spirit Management Committee, we’ll get more resources, and I might even get their support for cultivation, which means getting some clones for me to consume, so I can hope to advance to S Level, and your developments in Spiritual Ability City will be better."

"At the very least, you won’t be sent on annoying missions like now, or have to place detectors in King-level Blade Beast caves."

Shaman and Tree Man Beta hesitated.

Shaman rested her slender arms on the table edge, thinking.

Tree Man Beta whispered, "I vote no, let’s just do our job. I don’t have much combat ability, any fighter with a can of gasoline could set me on fire."

"My ability is in scouting and foresight," the somewhat conflicted Shaman sighed, "Let’s get by day by day. I never thought about standing out, following the commander is good enough."

"Ugh," Dragonfly Lady leaned back with a frown, "What is that look for? I’m not Lala."

Shaman rolled her eyes: "Commander, you have no admirers, but I do."

Dragonfly Lady flipped her off.

"Alright, two against one, we’ll only do the investigation work... rest for now, Shaman is responsible for ambiguous detection, and I’ll release some drones."

Dragonfly Lady muttered regretfully:

"Our humanoid detector hasn’t returned to the squad, it’s really inconvenient."

...

A few minutes later.

Wang Jixuan, after deploying the surveillance drones, met up with Instructor Hei and discussed his observations, asking a few common-knowledge questions.

"The Nature Faction of Spiritual Ability City?"

Instructor Hei laughed:

"This faction is actually very simple, they advocate for nature, believing that Blade Beasts are a part of nature, they draw power from the Blade Beasts, which is seeking power from nature, then go on to defeat nature to protect it, and regain dominance over this planet."

"Opposing the Nature Faction is the Dominion Faction who, as the name suggests, aim to rule humanity."

"The ideologies of the Nature Faction and Dominion Faction formed about seventy years ago, both sides were able to stand toe to toe originally, but as the method of ’[Die Rise]’ was discovered, the ruthless Dominion Faction quickly overpowered the Nature Faction, leading to the rebellion and war over fifty years ago."

"The Nature Faction is marginalized in Spiritual Ability City, but they still have a significant number of people, including several SS rank Spiritual Ability Users. They generally lean towards supporting the local Defense Army, believing that the Fortress is the main carrier of human civilization at present."

Wang Jixuan lightly raised an eyebrow.

Instructor Hei imparted some extra knowledge, "Aside from the Dominion Faction and the Nature Faction, there’s now a new faction called the Beast God Sect."

"Ah? Beast God Sect?"

"They believe that Blade Beasts are a higher civilization and that humans are inferior. The invasion of Blade Beasts, in essence, could help our civilization evolve rapidly, so we should embrace this evolution and then gradually... integrate into the civilization of the Blade Beasts."

"Ah? These must be spies raised by Mimic Blade Beasts, right?"

"Hehehe."

Instructor Hei smiled amiably and took the chance to send regards to the mothers of the Beast God Sect, continuing, "Before, we just thought these bastards had gone mad with obsession. But after you reminded Lingtong, the Blade Beasts do have souls hidden within the Crystal Core, things got a bit more complicated. However, the biggest trouble right now is still the Dominion Faction."

"Do the soldiers still have the habit of wearing Blade Beast Crystal Cores?"

"It’s already been banned, not just in our battle zone."

"That’s good," Wang Jixuan thought carefully for a moment, his eyes reflecting deep contemplation.

Wang Jixuan asked, "So, this investigative team, do we still need to take them out?"

"Not for now, let’s see how they behave later. It’s fine if they’re just investigating since the number 82 Fortress itself doesn’t have any secrets."

Instructor Hei leaned in and whispered:

"You hesitated in your words... Could it be that you’re... interested in that girl named Shaman?"

"I looked at the scanning data; this girl has a low body fat percentage, fat concentration in the right places, and a comparatively slim skeleton, so she must have a great figure."

"This type of Spiritual Ability User with scouting abilities, our Military is quite interested in. If necessary, you can use your charm offensive, and I’ll explain it to Lingtong on your behalf."

"Stop kidding around, I’m totally a conservative person."

Wang Jixuan curled his lips and frowned:

"It’s actually Tree Man Beta that I’m quite interested in."

"Ah?" Instructor Hei was startled, "You’ve got that kind of fetish? I knew something was off with the sudden notes you added on Tree-Men! But this fetish is quite niche, isn’t it?"

"No, what are you imagining, old man!"

Wang Jixuan raised his hand to his forehead:

"He could help me with some research!"

"You gave me quite a scare; I thought Zheng Shiduo was the pinnacle of new perversions that have emerged in recent years, but you would be able to top him."

Instructor Hei chuckled.

His mechanical arm vibrated a few times, projecting a simple radar map.

"Hmm, your reward for this operation has arrived, don’t let the Mechanical Insects come too close to this side, lest they discover it. Go get it yourself, I’ve shared the location with your armor."

"Alright, you keep resting, old man. I can keep an eye on the airplane."

"Do you never need to sleep?"

"I have my own unique way of sleeping, part of an alien inheritance."

Wang Jixuan tapped his helmet’s side, the visor automatically closed, and he turned to exit the supply station, crouching and running through the desert.

"Hehehe."

Instructor Hei thought of something amusing.

He switched on the built-in music player in his head, directly transmitting notes to his brain, and turned on two monitors; one keeping watch on the invisible airplane not far away, and the other sharing the view from Wang Jixuan’s X armor.

In passing, Instructor Hei’s fingers tapped away in the air, dealing with various affairs.

He anticipated the moment when Wang Jixuan would open his reward.

"Young man, can’t handle it now, can you?"

"No man can refuse this gift, no one."
