Chapter 94
The Divine Miracle journey gave the students from the Agronomy Department more experience in teamwork.
Li Yang also gained more command experience. Her orders were precise and clear, and everyone's reactions were quick enough. Even Zhong Kun didn't falter. On the contrary, after facing the Star Beast head-on, they bounced back from rock bottom.
Zhong Kun is like this: when he's scared, he's really scared; but when he gets into a fight, he's really fierce. After all, he's a pay-to-win player, and he throws out Star Curse and Star Artifact like they're free.
The Star Wielders beside her was completely bewildered. She couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, are you here for a training mission?"
Zhong Kun responded loudly, "Yes!"
"Your Star Curse must be worth several thousand merit points, right?" The implication was clear: What kind of quest is this? Wouldn't it be better to just spend 2000 merit points to skip it?
Zhong Kun also wanted to skip it, but he didn't have the chance!
The students from the Agronomy Department Science Department should have been able to complete their mission and leave once each of them killed three ferocious beasts.
But they did not leave; instead, they fought until the beast tide receded.
This beast tide lasted for a full three hours.
The Star Combat Division suffered heavy losses, with nearly a hundred people seriously injured and eight killed in action.
Li Yang and the others were also injured to varying degrees, but they had mastered temporary healing Star Skill and had almost healed themselves by now.
Their consumption is also very high.
Leaving aside Zhong Kun's Star Curse and Star Artifact, the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill they consumed alone must have earned them several hundred merit points.
Li Yang finally understood He Song's concerns.
She also understood why Marquis of Mirror Bamboo dared to hand over the key to the Nature Pavilion to her.
It's likely that in Marquis of Mirror Bamboo's mind, Li Yang would willingly hand over the key to the Nature Pavilion after completing just one training mission.
This was indeed a beast tide that the few students from the Agronomy Department could not stop.
The Star Combat Department dispatched a main battalion of at least 500 men, and then recruited another 200 men from the mission department.
The main battalion was at the forefront, while these two hundred-odd men were providing support on the flanks.
Li Yang and his group only withstood a small portion of the beast tide, and they had already given it their all. They dared not imagine how the Nature Pavilion would be able to stop it if it faced the beast tide head-on.
However, Li Yang will not be defeated without a fight.
Now that she has obtained the key to the Nature Pavilion, she will let everyone know that she has the power to control it.
Kong Ling was reviewing the battle report when he saw Li Yang and the others' battle results. He paused for a moment, then looked at his deputy and asked, "Who are these kids?"
The deputy nodded repeatedly. "That's right! It's them! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young; these graduates are incredibly capable!"
Kong Ling Lingzai examined him carefully for a while, his cold expression softening slightly. He murmured, "It's my fault."
The training mission was simply to kill the three-headed Star Beast.
However, Li Yang, who had the most kills, actually killed a total of 30.
It exceeded the task by ten times.
Even Yu Hongyuan, who had the fewest kills, killed five.
This squad has achieved remarkable results, even surpassing the Fourth Grade Realm squads of the main battalion.
Kong Ling stood up and asked, "Are they still resting?"
The deputy quickly replied, "Yes, I am!"
"Are these kids from the Star Combat Department?" He remembered that one of them was from the Lin Family.
The deputy said, "He's from the Agronomy Department."
Kong Ling's expression changed, and he said, "It was them..."
He had arrived at the rest area and saw Li Yang and the others.
Li Yang and the others have almost recovered, but their clothes are tattered and their bodies are covered in foul-smelling bloodstains. They need to go back and clean themselves up properly.
Kong Ling had a bad reputation; everyone knew he had a violent temper, so when he appeared at the rest area, everyone was on edge.
Lin Zhaoqin raised his head defiantly and met his gaze defiantly.
Kong Ling looked away and addressed Li Yang, saying, "A beast tide has been detected in the Eastern District. The first wave may arrive in three days. Are you sure you want to activate the Nature Pavilion?"
Li Yang didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but she still nodded firmly. "Yes."
Kong Ling: "..."
He paused for a moment, then said curtly, "I misunderstood you this time. I will go to the East District to support you when the beast tide comes."
Lin Zhaoqin, who had been staring intently at Kong Ling, couldn't help but blink, clearly not expecting Kong Ling to come and apologize.
After saying this, Kong Ling felt his face burning, but he had indeed misunderstood the children, so he wanted to make amends.
Unexpectedly, Li Yang calmly replied, "No need."
Chapter 94
Everyone present was stunned by Li Yang's words.
Kong Ling even doubted that he had misheard.
Even Lin Zhaoqin, a troublemaker, couldn't hide his astonishment as he looked at his senior sister.
What does that mean?
Was her senior sister standing up for her?
It's not that bad!
Getting Kong Ling's help is the real way to vent our anger!
Kong Ling meant well, so Li Yang patiently explained, "We don't need your help. Major Kong has also suffered heavy losses this time; you should take the time to rest."
Kong Ling: "..."
You heard right, he really was rejected.
Actually, the Star Combat Department is a pro- Nature Department faction.
The Star Combat Department students at the school knew nothing, but things were completely different in the Huaxia Main City. Most of the older people knew about the glory of the Nature Department in the past and had also benefited from it.
Not to mention the great battle 28 years ago.
If it weren't for the forceful attack by the Nature Department that destroyed the main city of the Fenglie Clan, these people would probably all have died long ago.
The Star Combat Department is inherently warlike, and Kong Ling is under the command of the Marquis of the Long Night.
Given the friendship between Marquis of the Long Night and Si Kui, Kong Ling wanted to help Nature Pavilion both publicly and privately.
But Kong Ling never expected that she would be rejected like this.
Is it fair to say that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger?
These kids have already faced a beast tide once, do they really think they can withstand it?
By the time Kong Ling came to her senses, Li Yang and the others had already left.
The deputy said dryly, "Major, they're still young, it's normal for them to be hot-blooded..."
Kong Ling glanced at him. "What, do you think I wouldn't help her just because of a few angry words she said?"
The deputy's eyes lit up, and he quickly flattered her, saying, "Of course not! Ever since we learned that the Nature Pavilion was going to open, our group has been prepared to provide support!"
Kong Ling watched the departing figures of the young people and said, "With such an important matter at hand, I won't hold a grudge against them. Besides, they are indeed a very outstanding group of children."
Even if Li Yang doesn't need his help, Kong Ling will definitely go.
Beast tides are no joke.
Kong Ling sincerely hoped that they could take over the Nature Pavilion.
It was no secret that Marquis of Mirror Bamboo intended to hand over the Nature Pavilion to the students of the Nature Department.
Most people in the main city know this.
Some are waiting to see the joke, while others are waiting to lend a helping hand.
Some people do not want the Nature Pavilion to rise, while others yearn for the Nature Department to regain its glory.
Relying on a few young graduates might sound like a joke, but many hands make light work. As subordinates of Marquis of the Long Night, Kong Ling and the others will certainly do their utmost to help these youngsters rebuild the Nature Pavilion.
Li Yang was unaware of these inside details.
Even if she knew, all she could say was, "Don't get in my way!"
She witnessed the beast tide in the North District and was indeed terrified.
Of course, this is frightening because so many people were injured or even died.
The Star Combat Division suffered heavy casualties in this battle against the beast tide.
Although Li Yang had never met them before, the thought of such a brave warrior being eaten by Star Beast still caused her heart to ache.
Therefore, Li Yang became even more determined to fight evil with evil.
Using people to defend against a beast tide inevitably leads to injuries.
But if we send Star Plant to fight against the Star Beast...
Then there's nothing to feel sorry about.
Oh, Li Yang still feels a little sorry for her, after all, she can no longer harvest lifespans.
Not necessarily...
She could increase her speed, and then, as she traversed the battlefield, she might be able to reap lifespans more efficiently.
The more Li Yang thought about it, the more plausible and feasible it seemed. He couldn't wait to head to the eastern suburbs and find Little Ox's family.
I need to go to the Pill Division again and ask someone to keep an eye on Jiang Yuqing.
Li Yang had Jiang Yuqing's contact information, but after arriving in the Huaxia Main City, communication in Central Capital stopped working.
In the main city, everyone's identity card serves a communication function, but Li Yang has not yet met Jiang Yuqing, so they have not registered for communication.
Fortunately, once Jiang Yuqing arrive in the main city, they will definitely report to the Pill Division.
All you need to do is leave him a message there.
Li Yang and his companions do not need to submit their training missions at the mission office; they can complete the missions simply by using their identity tokens.
Zhong Kun scoffed, "What good are 200 merit points as a reward?"
The Star Curse and magical artifacts he consumed were worth several thousand merit points.
This reward of 200 merit points is nothing!
Li Yang glanced eastward and said, "Let's go, let's check out the situation in the east district first."
Everyone enthusiastically replied, "Great!"
-
The Huaxia Main City also has commercial districts.
Moreover, it was quite prosperous, mostly organized by non-combatant Star Wielders.
On their way to the East District, they passed through a commercial area.
A sharp-eyed Star Wielders recognized them as recent graduates who had just arrived in the main city and approached them, saying, "Do you need a place to rent? I have some first-hand listings here, guaranteed to be excellent layouts, rich in Starlight, and right next to the Star Support Division."
Zhong Kun: "Who wants to rent a house? I want to buy a house!"
The Star Wielders visibly gasped, realizing he'd encountered a powerful and arrogant scion of a wealthy family. He quickly lowered his voice and said, "I have properties here, young man, would you like to take a look? The shortest property rights are 300 years, and the longest are 30,000 years!"
Li Yang found it quite strange.
Having a limited term for property ownership... that's reasonable.
