When he stepped out of the gate, he found that the Second Lieutenant had not left. It had only been a little over half an hour since he had entered the small town.
The officer looked at Chen Hao, whose body was completely spotless, with considerable surprise. "Congratulations on passing the Warrior Assessment. Let's get in the car. The higher-ups are still waiting."
Chen Hao nodded, took off his equipment, placed it in the trunk of the military jeep, then got into the passenger seat.
Once Chen Hao was seated, the officer stepped on the gas, and the military jeep sped away.
"Chen Hao, well done. From this moment on, you are a Martial Artist." Zhuge Tao looked at the young man before him, whose bearing had become completely different. He was deeply satisfied. Chen Hao was decisive and ruthless when it came to killing, yet still retained a trace of kindness in his heart.
Chen Hao's final actions showed that he was someone who repaid kindness.
"Thank you for your guidance, Supervisor. I will remember it in my heart!" Chen Hao was naturally grateful for Zhuge Tao's help.
"Chen Hao, congratulations on becoming a Martial Artist!"
"Congratulations on becoming a Martial Artist." Wang Heng and Director Liu, who stood nearby, also came over to offer their congratulations.
A Warrior Rank Martial Artist might not have been worth their attention, but a Spiritual Thought Master was another matter entirely. Such a person was certainly worth befriending.
"Chen Hao, would you prefer to live in the main urban district, or settle down in Yangzhou City?" Zhuge Tao asked.
Chen Hao considered it for a moment. "I'd rather stay in Yangzhou City. I'm more familiar with it there. I remember that our Extreme Martial Arts Hall has Mingyue Community there, right? I'll live there."
"That works. The notice will be sent over at noon, and you can move in this afternoon. If anything comes up in the future, just come directly to me. Over there, you can log into Extreme Home. When the time comes, you can purchase whatever you need from it, and your purchasing permissions will be activated." Zhuge Tao was not surprised by Chen Hao's choice.
"Alright, thank you, Supervisor." Suddenly, Chen Hao remembered that he had yet to use Identify and Copy on the two Advanced Warlord Ranks.
Without hesitation, he cast an Identify on both men.
Wang Heng Earthling 41 years old Talent: None Realm: Apprentice Level 6 Skills: Microscopic Basic Movement Technique Basic Saber Technique Perfected Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, Second Level Zhuge Tao Earthling 40 years old Talent: None Realm: Apprentice Level 6 Skills: Basic Movement Technique Perfected Proficient Basic Saber Technique Proficient Basic Spear Technique Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, First Level World Annihilation, First Level
Chen Hao stared wide-eyed at the attributes of the two Advanced Warlord Ranks. As expected of experts at the Advanced Warlord Rank. Even if their strength had not improved much over the years, their skills had been honed to perfection.
Chen Hao then copied all of Zhuge Tao's and Wang Heng's skills. To his delight, even though these skills were quite profound, he did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue.
It seemed that copying skills consumed far less energy. Of course, the increase in his spiritual power was equally crucial. Looking at the eight Skill Cards, Chen Hao could not help feeling excited. It seemed that his strength was about to soar again.
By the time Chen Hao and Jiang Nian returned to Yangzhou City, it was already afternoon. Mingyue Community had probably received his information by then.
He quickly returned to his low-rent apartment in Nan'an Community and packed up his belongings. Of course, he did not have much to pack.
The most important things were the two Blood Shadow Second-Generation Battle Swords and the unfinished He Shou Wu. He also packed some of his usual clothes. Since he did not have much luggage to begin with, he soon left Nan'an Community.
After leaving the community, he hailed a taxi and quickly arrived at Mingyue Community. After taking his things from the taxi and paying the fare, he headed toward the community entrance.
At the main entrance of Mingyue Community, six heavily armed soldiers stood on either side of the gate. When Chen Hao approached, one of them immediately raised his assault rifle and aimed it at him. "Stop, sir. Keep your distance. If you enter the yellow-line area, we have the right to shoot you on sight."
Although he had read the original novel, experiencing it in person and hearing a soldier say such words still made Chen Hao deeply uncomfortable. Or rather, they were not truly soldiers, merely security guards holding guns. Compared to the soldiers stationed in the major military districts on the front lines, Chen Hao felt no admiration for them.
After all, this was not the world of his previous life. He remembered having visited a military district in his former life. Upon reaching the entrance, the sentry would only stop people from trespassing, but would never speak to ordinary people in such a tone.
Looking at the tense-faced guard, Chen Hao said in a low voice, "My name is Chen Hao. My information should have arrived already. I've just moved in here."
At that moment, an elderly man with grizzled hair emerged from the guardroom beside the community. He held a handheld computer in his hand. "Chen Hao? Could you let me see your ID card?"
Chen Hao handed his ID card to the old man, who swiped it across the computer. Chen Hao's information immediately appeared on its screen.
"It's really you. Your information was sent here at noon. Your residence is Villa No. 198. Are you moving in now? Come, I'll take you there." After confirming the information was correct, the old man called out to Chen Hao and led him into the community.
"These are our own soldiers, assigned specifically to protect the community. There are many Martial Artists' families living here, so they have to be cautious. After all, Martial Artists can cause tremendous destruction."
"You haven't been entered into the system yet. Once you get inside, activate your Extreme Home account. Then the community's entire identification system will register you. It won't be so troublesome when you enter or leave afterward. Hmm, we're here. This is your residence."
"Thank you." Chen Hao looked at the villa before him and nodded, quite satisfied. He thanked the old man who had led him here, while the old man did not linger and turned to leave.
Chen Hao surveyed the surrounding environment. Compared with Nan'an Community, this place was truly worlds apart.
Apart from the Extreme Hall in the center, there were small bridges and flowing streams everywhere, along with rows of detached villas surrounded by greenery.
He then examined his own residence. It was a luxurious blue-and-white villa. Not far away, separated by only a short distance, stood another luxurious red-and-white villa. If he remembered correctly, Luo Feng's family would move there in two months.
The villa was enormous. It had three floors, plus a basement underground. Above the third floor was an enormous terrace. Altogether, its total area was probably close to a thousand square meters.
The first floor contained the living room, dining room, and servants' bedrooms. The second floor had four enormous rooms: bedrooms, an audiovisual room, a reception room, and a huge training hall. The third floor had several large rooms, including guest rooms. Overall, Chen Hao was very satisfied.
