Looking at his panel, Ye Tong fell into thought.

His base attributes were already dozens of times greater than those of an average human.

And over the past year, aside from his base attributes undergoing earth-shaking changes, nothing else had changed much.

"Tch, looks like I need to go find that guy."

After closing his panel, Ye Tong leisurely walked out of his room.

"Ye Tong, Admiral Zephyr is waiting for you outside."

Just as Ye Tong was about to leave, Carotell happened to come looking for him.

"Admiral Zephyr?"

"Got it."

With that, Ye Tong walked out.

Though he was somewhat puzzled.

After all, he had just defeated Zephyr's prized disciple and had refused to join the training camp!

Why was Zephyr looking for him now? Did he have something he wanted?

"Admiral Zephyr, were you looking for me?"

Doubts aside, since Zephyr had come looking for him, Ye Tong had to greet him with a grin.

This guy was a huge treasure trove!

"Kuzan is already a brigadier general, and I've arranged for him to carry out a mission."

Zephyr spoke directly.

"Oh."

"What is it?"

Ye Tong asked indifferently.

Hearing Ye Tong's response, Zephyr's eyebrows twitched.

What was it?

With strength like yours, if you joined the Marines now, you'd start as a brigadier general!

This wasn't the Marines' prosperous era of the future. Strength like that was already incredibly impressive.

Of course, you were still far behind the three admirals.

"Are you really not interested in rank at all?"

"With all that strength, don't you want to do something for these seas?"

"Is picking up garbage here really your dream?"

The more Zephyr thought about it, the angrier he became, and he directly demanded an answer.

"Do something?"

"I've always been a cleaning soldier! I'm contributing my own small share to this world's environmental issues."

"Does Admiral Zephyr think my job is shameful?"

Ye Tong asked directly.

Zephyr was dumbfounded by Ye Tong's retort.

This was the Cleaning Department, and cleaning soldiers were everywhere around them.

Although Zephyr didn't think there was anything wrong with cleaning soldiers, having Ye Tong stay here was simply%...

"Don't misunderstand. Your job is very good."

"But I think... wouldn't it be even better to clean up the garbage out at sea?"

"After all, you have the strength for it."

Zephyr spoke again.

He was an admiral. He had to take responsibility for every word and action.

"I'm not going," Ye Tong said without being moved.
