Chapter 214 You think your dad's position as garrison commander is just for show?
Su Chen asked directly, naturally knowing the value of the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit!
If something goes wrong, that would be a real problem!
Team Leader Zhao nodded, then said, "It's not exactly an accident, but according to the news from the people guarding Luoguan Ridge..."
"The Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit ripened ahead of schedule..."
"The demonic beasts are already stirring, and then... they discovered that the Orochi Clan has appeared..."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned. How did this involve the Orochi Association?
This was something he really hadn't expected.
However, the members of the Orochi Clan are always a persistent presence, so their appearance now seems quite reasonable.
However... if they also want to seize this Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit, then things will get complicated.
"So, we have to go now?"
Su Chen asked, realizing what Captain Zhao wanted to say!
Team Leader Zhao didn't deny it, he just nodded, that was exactly what he meant.
Then he said, "Yes, it's time for us to go, but..."
At this point, Captain Zhao paused for a moment before saying, "I might not be able to go!"
"Sector A is already short-staffed. If I leave, it will surely fall if the monsters attack!"
"Once Area A falls, the monster army will advance unimpeded, and we'll be in a very passive position!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen understood what Captain Zhao meant!
He said, "So, you mean you want me to bring some people over?"
Team Leader Zhao nodded.
"We simply can't spare any more manpower for Area A right now, I really have no other choice..."
"You shouldn't have been allowed to go there, but..."
Team Leader Zhao didn't know what to say and felt a little embarrassed.
Ultimately, Su Chen was just a student, here for an internship.
But as a result, he has to bear such a huge responsibility.
Su Chen didn't seem to mind, he just smiled and said, "Captain Zhao, you're right. I'll take my men over there!"
"However... I don't know just how powerful the demon beasts will be this time, and there are also members of the Orochi Clan involved!"
"I can't guarantee I can bring this Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit back safely!!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao said, "Don't worry about that. The Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit is of paramount importance, and the military will absolutely not stand idly by while it falls into the hands of demonic beasts or the Orochi Guild!"
"The problem now is, if the Orochi Clan is involved, we cannot be certain whether they are colluding with the demon beasts!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen realized this as well.
Given the nature of the Orochi Clan, it's perfectly normal for them to collude with demonic beasts.
Then, Captain Zhao added, "I will apply to the military headquarters to send more personnel!"
"But given the military's current situation, at most they can send two kings to assist you!"
Su Chen nodded and said, "No problem, I'll lead the team over!"
Immediately afterwards, Su Chen discussed some things with Captain Zhao.
Finally, Captain Zhao couldn't help but speak up, "Su Chen, I shouldn't have said this..."
"But I still couldn't help but want to tell you in advance..."
"You should know the true value of this Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit!"
"Therefore, there are some things you should fight for and never give up!"
The words were veiled, but Su Chen understood some of their meaning.
Team Leader Zhao paused for a moment, then continued, "Right now, there are quite a few people eyeing this Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit!!"
"A bunch of spoiled brats relying on the legacy of their ancestors, a bunch of guys who have long since become detached from the people—in my opinion, they are not worthy of touching this!"
"But you're different..."
At this point, Captain Zhao stopped and didn't continue.
Su Chen, however, had already figured it out.
In fact, he knew all too well the value of the Nine-Turned Exquisite Fruit!
If taken, it can not only improve one's physical constitution and reshape one's meridians, but also raise one's potential.
Even if a pig eats it, it can turn into Piggy Hero!
Honestly, he wanted it.
However, this item was a military task, and in principle, it should have been handed over to the military.
How to decide is a matter for the military.
But now that Captain Zhao has said this, Su Chen understands that there are probably quite a few people eyeing this Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit.
Su Chen paused for a moment before saying, "Okay, I understand!"
"I'll go and gather the Su family army right now, and then we'll set off!!"
Team Leader Zhao waved his hand and said, "No rush, two more King-level players will be coming later to accompany you!"
Su Chen then left the office.
As he walked along the road, Zhao's words were still on his mind.
"Damn it, why should I give away what I risked my life to steal?"
"Damn it, if I get my hands on it, I'll refine it right away!"
"Want it? Go eat shit!!"
Su Chen thought about it and decided that rather than letting it end up in the hands of some rich young masters without any clear explanation, he might as well use it himself!
What?
You disagree?
Then please go and talk to my God of War!
Thinking of this, Su Chen felt a surge of joy!
At that moment, he saw Lu Yunxi standing not far away, seemingly waiting for him.
So, Su Chen also went up.
"Professor Lu!"
He greeted them.
Lu Yunxi nodded, noticing the aura emanating from Su Chen.
"Third level of golden body!!"
"Your talent for cultivation is as astonishing as ever!"
"You've already achieved physical transformation; it seems I, your teacher, truly have nothing more to teach you!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen laughed.
"What you're saying is ridiculous. I'm only at the Golden Body Realm, far inferior to Instructor Lu!"
"Besides, I owe my success today to the guidance of Instructor Lu!"
Lu Yunxi laughed.
"How come I never realized you were so good with words!"
After smiling, Lu Yunxi said, "I already know that you're leading a team to Luoguanling this time!"
"This time, I will personally protect you in secret!"
"There's one more thing..."
Lu Yunxi paused at this point.
After a brief silence, he said, "If you can refine this Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit, I think it will be enough to allow you to reach the King level in a short period of time!"
"Furthermore, this item improves your physical constitution, allowing your natural talent to reach new heights!"
"So... my idea is to refine the Nine-Turn Exquisite Fruit as soon as I obtain it!!"
"Once you bring it back to the military, it's really uncertain who will end up with it!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was somewhat surprised, never expecting Lu Yunxi to say such a thing.
Seeing Su Chen's surprise, Lu Yunxi spoke again: "Otherwise, why do you think I would have you lead the team to Area A?"
Why would they send you to Coffin Ridge?
"Do you think your father's position as garrison commander was just for show?"
