Chapter 463

So, Principal, are you worried that I might have an accident during the later patrol of the tunnels?

Jiang Cheng asked.

That's right, but not only that.

Xu Juan sighed lightly.

Compared to that, patrolling the tunnels is still the easiest; if it's going out to patrol, the danger is greater, with exotic beasts everywhere, adventurers entering the mountains to search for treasures, and armies driving mechs; being able to avoid them is naturally best, but if you can't avoid them, battle will erupt; however, even so, compared to other tasks, these two are still relatively simple, you understand?

Hmm.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

In patrol missions, combat can be avoided with some probability.

If something seems off, as long as you return and inform the base, someone will naturally go handle it.

As for other missions, they basically go straight into battle.

When there is combat, casualties are hard to avoid.

If you're worried that doing this will cause gossip, you don't need to worry.

Xu Juan spoke again: "Everyone's division of labor differs; there are many ways to contribute to Hope City, each indispensable."

"Yes, but, Principal," Jiang Cheng still insisted on his view, "I still want to accept the mission, refining alchemy and cultivating talent, I will continue doing so, and I hope the Principal won't let the base cancel assigning me missions."

You!

Xu Juan looked a bit angry.

She talked for a while, trying to persuade, but it felt like talking to a cow? "Alright, I'll ask you one last time, have you really decided?"

Hmm, I really have decided.

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly.

Since you won't listen to my words, then do as you wish; when you encounter danger while carrying out the mission, you'll know how reasonable my words today were.

Principal... Jiang Cheng felt a bit sorry, after all the other party meant well and was about to say something, but was directly cut off by them.

Let's go, I still have things to do.

Xu Juan waved her hand, issuing the order to evict.

Yes, Principal.

Jiang Cheng felt both amused and exasperated, but kept a serious expression, got up and left the Principal's Office, and before leaving, thoughtfully closed the door.

This kid, really a stubborn one.

Xu Juan said resentfully.

If it were someone else, knowing they could get over ten thousand contribution points a month without any danger, they'd probably laugh in their dreams.

But this kid.

He actually doesn't appreciate it! But upon second thought, she also felt somewhat moved.

It's precisely because of people like him that Hope City can be built; if everyone just sought comfort and avoided danger, the day of great catastrophe would not be far off.

Sigh.

She let out a sigh, muttering to herself: "This kid, really a handful."

Speaking, she walked to the desk, picked up the phone on it, and dialed Chu Feng's number.

After a couple of rings, the phone was answered, and Chu Feng's voice immediately sounded: "How is it, did he agree to you?"

Did you already know the result from the start?

Xu Juan narrowed her eyes and said.

After all, Jiang Cheng passing the assessment to become a Rebel Soldier was something Chu Feng knew first, and only then told her. "Hahaha, can't say it like that."

Chu Feng chuckled: "I just felt the probability of him not agreeing to you should be high; indeed it seems so, but I'm curious how he told you."

How could he say it...

Xu Juan, helplessly, recounted the earlier conversation in full.

Chu Feng couldn't help but feel moved: "Jiang little brother, indeed still a hot-blooded person."

Don't be hot-blooded.

Xu Juan interrupted him: "You should think, what if something unexpected happens while he carries out the mission? Although he's someone you brought from outside, he's now also a member of our academy; if he has an accident, who will make all those medicines?"

Principal Xu, you don't need to lack confidence in him like that.

Chu Feng laughed: "Actually, compared to that, his cultivation talent is even above his alchemy talent; it's just that here, alchemists are few, and outstanding alchemists are even rarer, overshadowing his brilliance; think carefully, isn't that the reason?"

Xu Juan was stunned upon hearing that.

When she was Jiang Cheng's age, she was already a Grandmaster, making the current Jiang Cheng seem not so great.

But if you think about it, what environment did she live in? Since childhood she had all kinds of resources, plus guidance from the Big Chief; how could her cultivation speed not be fast?

But Jiang Cheng? He lived in the Poor District, and even just a few months ago he first came into contact with Secret Martial Arts, began cultivating Force, and had no one to guide him.

As a result? He is now a First-level Force Master, his Spiritual Power has reached Ten-level Spirit Thought Master, and moreover he is a level ten level eleven alchemist.

If this isn't talent, what is? "Besides, I somewhat understand his personality; since he said that, he should have some confidence; anyway, you can relax, maybe later he'll give us a big surprise."

Hopefully the truth really is as you say.

Xu Juan was somewhat speechless.

……

After leaving the Principal's Office, Jiang Cheng gazed into the distance.

If possible, he also wanted to do nothing, just loaf around waiting to die.

But the times are different; loafing around here will really get you killed.

Although one side has to complete the tasks assigned by the academy, the other side also has to complete the base's tasks; time is tight.

But because of the assistance of the Virtual Combat System, the speed at which his proficiency in various combat skills improves during fights with opponents is over a hundred times faster.

In other words, on the contrary, the time spent practicing skills has become less.

What's more, defeating each Supreme also comes with a free Secret Martial Arts reward.

Where can you find such a good thing?

That's right.

Jiang Cheng suddenly recalled Xu Juan's earlier words.

In a few days, I will be assigned to the tunnel patrol mission? Hmm, I need to quickly improve my strength; fortunately, a few days is enough for me to raise my Psychic Weapon proficiency to perfection.

Jiang Cheng's face showed a faint smile.

As for the Shadowless Blade Technique, on one hand its limit is set there, making the difficulty naturally high, and it is also greater than the intermediate fourth-rank Psychic Weapon; on the other hand, in his battle with the Big Chief he used the Psychic Weapon the most, so the improvement speed of the blade technique naturally becomes slow.

But having said that, even if it's slower, it's still far better than him practicing alone in his room.

Wait until I raise my Psychic Weapon proficiency to perfection, then practicing the blade technique will still be in time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng hummed a little tune as he walked toward the Refining Alchemy Room.
