Chapter 31: A Moron Genius?
In fact, there were many paths before Jiang Xiao.
If he wanted to quickly improve his strength, Jiang Xiao could declare his identity as a Medical Awakened to various institutions and groups, thereby obtaining resource advantages.
But when Han Jiangxue saw that Jiang Xiao had Awakened a Medical Star Technique, why was her first reaction to have him become a doctor with a normal job?
Because various institutions and organizations definitely wouldn't support you for nothing. In all kinds of difficult tasks, the role of a Medical Awakened was too important; it was a necessary profession, which also meant the danger coefficient they faced was high.
Especially teams like the Pioneering Legion, the Night Watch Legion, and other specialized teams, including the military, the police, and other Nation's regular forces. Once you joined, it would be difficult to leave.
It was like pursuing a graduate degree. Getting in was relatively easy, as long as you met the hard requirements, but wanting to leave? Calling your advisor "Dad" every day might not even guarantee your graduation.
Jiang Xiao knew what he wanted to do. He had to see Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan through their journey, so he couldn't join the army. As for some unofficial civilian groups, they were too dangerous, walking on the edge of the law. A newbie like Jiang Xiao, without power or influence, and new to society, could easily lose himself completely.
If he wanted to improve his strength, he still had to be down-to-earth.
Jiang Xiao also knew that his information had probably already been known by the military.
When he first came to Jiannan Village, the soldier Pi Keqiu had personally seen his Blessing Star Technique. Even if the soldiers here had strict integrity and never leaked employer information...
That only meant not leaking it to outside groups; his own military would definitely digest this information internally.
However, what puzzled Jiang Xiao was why the military here hadn't approached him? There was no intention of recruiting him at all? Could it be that Beijiang Province was generous enough, with a large family and a great business? Did they not care about a Medical Awakened? That couldn't be. This profession was exceptionally precious, one in a hundred, let alone a seedling with unlimited possibilities.
Wait, a seedling.
Seemed like he'd hit the nail on the head with that analysis.
Jiang Xiao frowned. His Star Chart was the "Big Dipper Nine Stars," with only 9 Star Slots. His aptitude was indeed pitifully low in the eyes of the world. Even the most mediocre Awakened had more than 15 Star Slots. Star Slots not only represented Star Techniques, but more importantly, they represented a person's aptitude and potential.
Damn it, this group of people wasn't looking down on him, were they? With a mix of anxiety and doubt, Jiang Xiao finally awaited his aloof Miss.
The girl was still in a white dress, her black hair like a waterfall, her exquisite face without a trace of expression, cold and indifferent, exuding an aura of not eating the food of the mortal world, walking towards Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan.
Han Jiangxue ignored Jiang Xiao. She looked at Xia Yan and frowned, uttering a single word.
After seeing Han Jiangxue, Xia Yan was in a great mood, like a kitten, well, a Big Cat, she pounced on her, wrapped her arms around Han Jiangxue, leaned close to Han Jiangxue's ear, and whispered, "No."
Han Jiangxue immediately pushed Xia Yan away and spat at her, "Get lost."
"Hehe, we're going to hunt White Ghoul Witches," Xia Yan explained with a smile.
"Hunting White Ghoul Witches isn't much of an A-level mission for you and me," Han Jiangxue said coldly.
"I'm here, I'm here, so fleetingly brief, as brilliant as summer flowers," Jiang Xiao suddenly hummed a little tune.
Han Jiangxue finally couldn't hold back her expression. She turned her head and glared at Jiang Xiao, stepped forward, reached out and straightened Jiang Xiao's tattered clothes, and said, "Not injured, are you?"
Jiang Xiao gestured at his torn Camouflage Uniform and said, "What do you think?"
"Still know how to talk back, so you're not injured," Han Jiangxue snorted, rubbed Jiang Xiao's head, and said, "Go change your clothes."
"You! You! You two..." Xia Yan pointed a finger at Jiang Xiao, or rather, at Han Jiangxue's hand rubbing Jiang Xiao's head, and shouted at Han Jiangxue, "You've never been so affectionate with me!"
Jiang Xiao took a step back, dodging Han Jiangxue's head-rubbing, and looked at the annoyed Xia Yan, saying, "Diamond Star Technique *Miss-Seducing, are you afraid?"
Xia Yan kicked Jiang Xiao in the butt, "Hurry up and get lost to change your clothes."
"Okay~" Jiang Xiao scrambled towards the Changing Room.
Han Jiangxue was also a little embarrassed, and for once, she started to Transfer the topic, saying, "Why did you send a message saying it was an A-level mission? Just hunting White Ghoul Witches?"
Xia Yan grumbled a dissatisfied "Mmm," and said, "To be exact, the more the better, with a time limit of 9 days, well, 10 days, oh, right, ask for two days off from school, we'll report a few days late."
Han Jiangxue asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Xia Yan looked at Han Jiangxue with a pitiful, sad, and lamentable expression, pretending to sigh and said, "The poor and obedient younger brother has already told everything to his older sister, but alas, the older sister doesn't believe him at all, and even belittles him, and torments him, what a heartless woman."
"Xia Yan," Han Jiangxue bit her lip and said, "Speak human language."
Xia Yan leaned close to Han Jiangxue's ear and whispered, "He told you a long time ago that his Star Technique can improve quality."
Han Jiangxue's body trembled slightly, forgetting to step back, and she turned to look at Xia Yan, saying, "What he said was true?"
Mua~ Facing the attractive peach that was close at hand, Xia Yan kissed her cheek without hesitation.
Han Jiangxue hurriedly took two steps back, wiping her cheek with a look of disgust, but she couldn't care about much else, and asked again, "What he said was true?"
Xia Yan nodded with a smile, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, "I saw it with my own eyes."
!!!
Han Jiangxue's breathing paused slightly. So, that kid really didn't deceive her.
At that moment, Han Jiangxue felt an indescribable sense of pride and self-esteem in her heart.
At the same time, Han Jiangxue realized just how powerful her younger brother was.
This was really a god-level figure with only nine Star Slots!? A... a mischievous god?
Xia Yan stepped forward and put her arm around Han Jiangxue's shoulder, whispering, "I saw with my own eyes how his Bronze Quality Star Technique Cyan Glow turned into Silver Quality."
Han Jiangxue nodded almost imperceptibly. Her personality was cold and aloof, and she concealed her inner excitement and agitation very well.
"Do you remember the last time we were on a mission with the soldier Pi Keqiu?" Xia Yan suddenly asked.
Han Jiangxue: "Mmm?"
"Xiao Pi never showed his Star Chart during that day's mission. The soldier Pi Keqiu only heard from our conversation that Jiang Xiaopi only had 9 Star Slots and was an extremely low-aptitude moron," Xia Yan said softly.
After all, even the most mediocre Awakened had more than 15 Star Slots.
An Awakened like Jiang Xiao with single-digit Star Slots was probably as rare as Han Jiangxue with 30 Star Slots. The siblings were completely two extremes.
Hearing these words, Han Jiangxue pondered for a long time, and her eyes lit up slightly.
