Chapter 359 The Guests from the Military Academy Have Arrived
Zhong Ming strolled around for a while, marveling at the prosperity of the city. It was the largest and most bustling city he had ever seen. However, shopping with military merit points was still a bit difficult, as the exchange process was too troublesome.
He and Zhang Youcai arrived at the new camp, and at that moment, he suddenly remembered something.
It seems I had arranged to have dinner with Yue Kaishan.
Holy crap, I was so focused on catching the first airship that I completely forgot about this.
Um......
It's alright, breaking through to a higher realm is a good excuse, but I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of money when I go back this time.
Zhong Ming cautiously arrived at this completely unfamiliar camp, asked a few passersby where his territory was, and then quietly crept over.
It's a nice little building; judging by its appearance, it can indeed house an entire standard guard team.
He wandered around the area but found no movement inside, so he took an unconventional route and jumped to the second floor to enter the building.
However, Zhang Youcai was instructed to walk directly through the main gate, tidy up the room, and find a place to stay.
Zhong Ming listened to the commotion downstairs and carefully listened to the sounds around him. After a while, he realized that no one had gone down to check the situation, so he went out with peace of mind.
"Cough cough."
Indeed, no one came downstairs because someone was in a wheelchair.
Chen Dahai held a small flame in his hand and a large flame burning on his feet, quietly watching the bell toll at the end of the second-floor corridor.
"Hey, Dahai, what are you doing here?"
"Hmm, you're back?"
Zhong Ming approached with a grin, but Da Hai reached into his pocket and pulled out a bill.
"You missed... the Yue family's grand meeting, the celebration of Xuanjing's successful breakthrough, the celebration of Chitong's successful breakthrough, and... my birthday."
Zhong Ming scratched the back of his head, not daring to look at Chen Dahai, and said with his eyes drifting to the side, "I also had a sudden enlightenment, and then I went into seclusion. Then when I broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, my meridians had some problems, and I had to recuperate for a long time... Hey, hey, don't do anything, I really can't do anything right now."
Chen Dahai accelerated his wheelchair, crashing straight into Zhong Ming. He then grabbed him, seemingly intending to pull him to the other brothers.
However, at this time, it was much more lively outside than inside the small building.
As the two were playfully bickering, someone shouted, "Look, they're the geniuses from the military academy!"
Then it became so noisy that it was impossible to hear what anyone was saying.
With the mindset of "if you can watch the show, then watch the show," Zhong Ming immediately applied the "foot brake," and the wheelchair smoothly made a turn and headed straight for the balcony.
It was incredibly noisy outside. Everyone in the camp—logistics, maintenance, medical—except for the Shield Guard Battalion, had come out to watch the spectacle.
These are the dynasty's top talents. Since entering the military academy, they have been aiming for the Golden Core stage, and many of them will even reach the Nascent Soul stage.
This is a great opportunity to meet someone.
People kept popping up, trying to recognize some of the once-famous geniuses among the surging crowd.
These people were all young when they fought their way to the ninth level of Qi Refining on the battlefield before entering military academy.
Zhong Ming only dared to peek out from the balcony, marveling at how handsome and beautiful these big shots were; cultivating immortality really did greatly enhance one's appearance.
Look, my appearance used to be quite ordinary among ordinary people, but when you put me in a group of cultivators, I immediately stand out, don't I?
Upon learning of Zhong Ming's breakthrough, Chen Dahai's anger subsided considerably, and he responded, "I wonder if any of the brothers from the team that was ranked first back then are still here."
The two had only exchanged a few words when they suddenly realized that they were walking towards this small building.
The monk leading the way was very enthusiastic, praising the secluded little building repeatedly.
The guard's camp was, of course, on the outermost perimeter, so there weren't many people there, were they?
"Don't worry, there aren't many people here. It used to be the garrison of the Third Guard, but they were all wiped out in the last battle. Only two of them haven't returned yet. You can stay here for now, and I'll talk to them later."
He turned his head and was shocked to find two pairs of eyes staring at them.
"Sir, we've requisitioned this place. Do you have any objections?" That man was incredibly arrogant; presumably, no one would dare to oppose him.
Zhong Ming indeed didn't have any. He looked at the small building and said, "The rent is one hundred military merit points per day."
These words stunned everyone. They had considered that Zhong Ming would leave quickly, and they had also considered that he would refuse and then fight in the martial arts arena. They never expected that this guy would dare to make money off these geniuses.
The man instantly bristled; wasn't this a slap in the face?
"Requisition, don't you understand requisition?"
"I need Zhao Wusheng's written authorization, otherwise I can't make any decisions."
Zhong Ming leaned against the balcony railing, looking down at the guy below, but he really couldn't remember who he was.
Who is it? Is it that important? Why should we give him face?
I'll beat Fang Qianqian up without hesitation, so what kind of person are you?
The soldiers from the military academy behind him watched this reckless fellow with great interest. They had a thousand ways to make him die a "legitimate" death, but...
This kid is a bit young.
"What do you mean you can't make decisions? Everyone here has a higher rank than you!"
"Yes, but none of them are my direct supervisors."
Zhong Ming jumped down from the second floor and landed in front of the man. He stood straight and said calmly, "This is the Third Guard Team's base. I am now issuing an order in the name of the Third Guard Team's captain: Master Cuihong will be the guard for today. No one other than a member of this team is allowed to enter until a direct superior comes here to overturn this order."
Zhong Ming went through the motions of the procedure, stared straight at the cultivator in front of him, and said, "If you take one step forward, I dare to kill you, legally and legitimately. At most, I'll be locked up in solitary confinement for a few days. Do you believe me or not?"
He assumed the identity of a sentry, then shouted, "Password!" and turned to draw the mother and child swords.
The other party was completely dumbfounded; what kind of password was this?
Zhong Ming looked at him disdainfully, 'You like giving favors? You're giving favors to yourself, aren't you? What's with giving away my base? You deserve a beating.'
At this moment, a handsome military academy prodigy stepped out from behind, his brows furrowed slightly, and scolded, "Can't you tell the difference between ranks? Didn't you want orders? I'll write them down for you right here!"
"Identity verification requires the presence of personnel from the Military Deployment Department."
The man laughed in anger, twisted his fist and looked at him threateningly, but Zhong Ming's threat was greater.
Because he took out the fireworks used to guide the artillery fire.
This is not the eastern battlefield; this is Cliff City. As soon as these fireworks are set off, regardless of the situation, all soldiers must enter a state of war. The artillery observation team will immediately mark this location. If this place weren't inside the camp, the artillery would definitely have already bombarded it first.
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Perform sentry duties."
