Chapter 202: Earth Emperor?

West of Yu Xiang City, at the foot of the Witch Crow.

Once again, Lu Ran came to this Evil Dog Demon Cave, but this time, the military no longer provided free accompanying instructors for the team.

The reason?

Lu Ran, Jiang Ruyi, and Si Xianxian were at the first, second, and third stages of the River Realm, respectively.

Where would they need accompanying instructors?

Among them, Jiang and Lu, although powerful, were still high school students, exempt from tickets. As for Si Xianxian, who was accompanying them for fun, she had to pay for a ticket...

And it was precisely when buying tickets that problems arose!

"Heaven Phoenix believer, Si Xianxian!" In the central building, the female soldier in charge frowned, looking at the student ID in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Si Xianxian's expression was unkind.

Why shout so loudly, what's wrong with being a Heaven Phoenix believer?

Clearly, Si Xianxian's sweet smile was almost only given to Lu Ran alone.

When treating others, this Heaven Phoenix big girl didn't have a good face.

"Don't speak." Lu Ran stepped forward immediately, blocking in front of Si Xianxian, "I'll negotiate with him."

The female soldier looked at Lu Ran: "Si Xianxian is on the blacklist and is not allowed to enter the Demon Cave."

One sentence, making Lu Ran and Si Xianxian both stunned.

That's right!

How could they forget this?

Last time, Si Xianxian was here ravaging Kou Yingquan, slapping him several times.

The result was Si Xianxian being detained for five days, deported, and not allowed to enter Evil Dog Village for half a year.

"Blacklist?" Jiang Ruyi stepped forward.

"Around the 10th lunar month, Sister Xian'er had a conflict with someone in Evil Dog Village." Lu Ran was very distressed, knocking on his forehead.

It hadn't even passed the first lunar month yet, so the half-year ban period naturally hadn't passed.

"My fault, forgot about this." Lu Ran looked at Si Xianxian, "Why don't you remember?"

Si Xianxian hummed: "This immortal has fought all my life, fought countless battles!

Can I remember all the little nobodies?"

"Hehe~" Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh; the more she contacted, the more she felt Si Xianxian was interesting.

She looked at the female soldier and asked: "Can you make an exception?"

"No, this is the rule." The female soldier had an official appearance.

"Should we change to another Demon Cave?" Jiang Ruyi looked at the few people.

Chang Ying was straightforward: "But our training homework requires Evil Dog Demon Crystals... hmm."

Before finishing, Chang Ying closed her mouth.

Because Si Xianxian suddenly turned her head and looked at Chang Ying.

"Don't be stupid, this is my friend." Lu Ran was rarely serious, saying in a deep voice.

"Oh, got it." Si Xianxian turned her head to look elsewhere.

Lu Ran took out his phone: "I'll check where the nearest Evil Dog Demon Cave is."

Behind him, a male voice suddenly came: "Your team configuration is very good."

"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned around and looked, seeing a male soldier.

From the shoulder badge of the other party, he should be someone in charge?

The male soldier looked Lu Ran up and down, clearly knowing this famous figure in Yu Xiang City: "People on the blacklist are not allowed to enter Evil Dog Village for training.

But there is also one exception."

Lu Ran: "What?"

Si Xianxian was very uncomfortable, not needing the other party to answer, directly saying: "Labor reform."

Everyone: "..."

Lu Ran's expression was strange, looking at the male soldier: "What kind of labor reform method?"

The soldier patiently explained: "This Heaven Phoenix believer can go to the area between the 5th wall and the 6th wall, which is the so-called buffer zone.

Under the supervision of our soldiers, she needs to find evil dogs at the second stage of the River Realm and below.

Without harming them, drive the evil dog clan toward the 5th wall, until they are expelled from the buffer zone."

Lu Ran nodded thoughtfully.

Actually, it's just helping the military do work!

Novice believers, precisely under the careful care of the military, can have such a stable training environment.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran asked: "If we encounter evil dogs at the third stage of the River Realm and above?"

Male soldier: "Can be eradicated on the spot."

"This job is good!" Lu Ran looked at Si Xianxian.

"What's good about it!" Si Xianxian looked at Lu Ran as if looking at a silly boy, "Timid, it's so troublesome!

If you are not careful and hurt a certain evil dog, your day's work will be in vain, and you will have to be punished additionally!"

The male soldier nodded: "It seems this Heaven Phoenix believer knows the rules very well."

Si Xianxian rolled her eyes: "Lu Ran, labor reform really doesn't suit me, you don't know, my divine techniques are all area output.

Killing, I'm good at it! Not killing, it's too difficult..."

Lu Ran: "Listen to what you are saying."

Si Xianxian was very helpless: "Really! Those Mist Realm evil dogs, if I touch them accidentally, they will die!

What do you want me to do!"

Everyone: "..."

Lu Ran said unhappily: "Aren't there us?

I'll help you lure away the lower-level evil dogs.

Ruyi will pick out the evil dogs at the third stage of the River Realm and above, freeze them in place, and wait for you to smash them, okay?"

Si Xianxian's expression froze, looking at Lu Ran.

She, who had never had friends, indeed had a lot of thinking inertia, thinking only of the days she had "lonely labor reform" in the past.

Hearing Lu Ran say this, many thoughts flashed through her mind quickly.

Lu Ran naturally wasn't speaking nonsense; he indeed had such ability!

Si Xianxian felt sweet in her heart, whispering: "Is it you two labor reforming, or am I labor reforming."

"We came here to train skills!" Lu Ran said indifferently, happy to accept this challenge.

Now that he had reached the River Realm, he felt ashamed to kill demons carefully selected by the soldiers.

Lu Ran looked at Jiang Ruyi, asking: "How about it?"

Jiang Ruyi also had no interest in killing low-level demons.

What's more, she didn't want to spoil Lu Ran's fun.

Jiang Ruyi turned to look at the male soldier, asking: "Can we help our companion redeem her sins?"

The male soldier nodded: "Yes, while you help the Heaven Phoenix believer with labor reform, you are also helping our troops screen demons.

So for you, this counts as a training mission upgrade.

I just said, your team configuration is good, you are qualified to execute this task, and our side will also issue an evaluation form based on your performance.

After the training ends, you can hand it to the school, and there will be extra believer points."

Extra believer points?

Lu Ran's heart moved, and he immediately said: "We'll do it!"

The male soldier smiled: "However, these three students at the fifth stage of the Stream Realm are not allowed

"Mm-hmm!" Tian Tian nodded repeatedly, "We won't cross the city wall."

Jiang Ruyi and Lu Ran had come specifically for the buffer zone in the first place.

In the squad's plan, the two of them would accompany everyone all the way to the Wucheng, after which they would leave the team briefly to broaden their horizons and go on a killing spree.

"Alright, Little Zhang!"

"Here!"

"Take them into the Vicious Dog Village, to the teleportation point."

Lu Ran was quite curious and looked at the male soldier: "Teleportation point?"

The male soldier nodded: "This Lie Tian believer is not allowed to undergo training."

Lu Ran: "So?"

"So we will teleport her directly to the labor reform area to avoid her killing any demons on the way to the buffer zone."

Lu Ran hurriedly said: "Then we..."

"Lu Ran." The male soldier picked up Lu Ran's student ID, took a deep look at it, and then handed it over, "You all go to the Wucheng together."

"Thank you!" Lu Ran suddenly realized that in this series of events, he must have received a great deal of special care.

Within the scope of Rain Alley City, he had indeed made a name for himself.

But just making a name for himself was certainly not enough.

Perhaps he was gradually becoming the pride of this city, entrusted with high hopes by many, many people.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"What's wrong?" A soft voice suddenly came from his side.

Lu Ran came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Ruyi's concerned face, and whispered:

"The care from strangers came too suddenly; I'm a bit unaccustomed to it."

Jiang Ruyi naturally saw how this "training mission upgrade" had fallen upon them.

She smiled and said softly: "Tian Tian told me a lot, saying that you have done so, so much for this city."

Lu Ran grinned.

That's true~

Especially on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, I was patrolling the streets, and I even hacked my blade into a divine artifact...

Jiang Ruyi walked forward with Lu Ran and teased: "There will be more and more situations like this.

After you participate in the Heaven's Pride competition, I'm afraid that wherever you go in Rain Alley City, someone will take care of you."

Who in the world does not know you?

Lu Ran pursed his lips and whispered: "That puts a bit of pressure on me.

On the fifteenth of February, you must help me well; we can't lose face!"

"Rest assured!" Jiang Ruyi's voice was very soft, but very firm.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran muttered: "Let's work hard and strive to be a local emperor in this little broken city!

In the future, I won't pay for cat food, and I'll just take a can of luncheon meat and walk away~"

Jiang Ruyi smiled and glared at Lu Ran: "Is that all the ambition you have?"

"Then let's become the pride of Rain Alley City first."

Lu Ran said in a low voice, adding a sentence in his heart: And then become the totem of Rain Alley City!

A totem,

An object of people's reverence and worship, people's guardian deity.

Hmm... sounds a bit rebellious, doesn't it?
