Chapter 468: Seventh Squad

Chu Feng also didn't hide anything, directly repeating what Xu Juan had told him on the phone a few days ago.

Wan Lin, after hearing that, also showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Did he really say that?"

Frankly speaking, if she were Jiang Cheng, with such high alchemy skill, she would very likely actually listen to Xu Juan's words and calmly practice alchemy in the Lian Dan Shi.

"Hmm."

Chu Feng nodded, adding: "Xu Juan spoke to him face to face; even if her spiritual power were weak, she still has the strength of a Level 7 Spiritual Master, while Jiang Cheng's spiritual power is less than that of a First-level Grandmaster; if he were lying, he definitely couldn't hide it from her."

"That's true."

Wan Lin slightly nodded, then praised: "It's rare for him to think like that."

"Yes, Master, actually just from the fact that he initially brought his neighboring residents into the Outer City District, even traveling a thousand li from the Inner City District to here without abandoning them, we can see he is a person of emotion and righteousness."

Besides that, during his time in the Poor District, he constantly fought against gangs; even after entering the Outer City District and becoming a killer, he did not indiscriminately slaughter innocents, and so on—this series of matters is enough to show he is a reliable person; now his combat talent is astonishing, I think he is worth our great effort to cultivate.

Chu Feng said seriously.

After all, he's not talking nonsense; each and every matter has factual proof.

"Since even you say that, I naturally believe."

Wan Lin smiled and suddenly asked:

"He's passed the assessment for several days now, right? According to regulations, shouldn't he be going on a mission?"

"Hmm."

Chu Feng replied: "According to convention, those who pass the assessment are assigned to a squad, starting with the simplest patrol mission; I'll check which squad he's been assigned to, but carrying out his first mission will indeed be within the next one or two days."

"Then let's see if he's really as he says, and not someone who says one thing but does another." Wan Lin narrowed her eyes.

She is not disbelieving what Chu Feng said.

But, people can change.

Especially after coming to a relatively comfortable environment.

"No, Master, on this point, nobody knows it better than I do."

Chu Feng smiled confidently.

As long as Jiang Cheng passes Master's assessment, then perhaps Master himself will personally cultivate him.

If one day Jiang Cheng truly becomes Supreme, it could also greatly reduce his pressure.

In the blink of an eye it was evening; Jiang Cheng glanced at the time, feeling somewhat unsatisfied, but he clearly understood the principle that one force can overcome ten gatherings.

Even if the psychic weapon is used excellently and the movement technique is superb, if there is a gap of one major realm, the hope of victory is slim; if the gap is two major realms, the difference can reach dozens of times astonishingly, making victory even more impossible.

When leaving the base, he actually heard discussion voices from around.

The topic of discussion was naturally that someone had succeeded in a challenge today.

Jiang Cheng found it somewhat amusing; as he walked out of the base heading home, his phone vibrated.

Taking it out to look, it was an email: "Jiang Cheng, hello, you have already been assigned to the Seventh Squad; you will carry out the patrol mission in Sector 15-20 the day after tomorrow; this mission's danger level is not high, but caution is still needed to prevent sudden situations; later the captain of the Seventh Squad will contact you proactively; best wishes."

Jiang Cheng carefully read it twice.

Obviously, his mission has arrived.

As for this, he had already anticipated it and was not surprised.

"Carrying out the mission the day after tomorrow seems to require taking leave from the principal."

Jiang Cheng muttered, put his phone back in his pocket, and walked forward.

The rest is just waiting.

The captain of the Seventh Squad should proactively contact him soon.

It's just unknown whether he was temporarily assigned to the Seventh Squad or will remain there from now on.

After about half an hour, Jiang Cheng, who had already returned home, received a call from an unknown man.

The man was polite; as soon as he spoke, he introduced himself: "I am the captain of the Seventh Squad, Yu Yang, a Third-level Force Master; Jiang Cheng, little brother, I represent all members of the Seventh Squad in welcoming you to join our team."

Original text is being read!

"The captain is being polite; being able to join the Seventh Squad is also my honor." Jiang Cheng also was polite.

"Hehehe," Yu Yang laughed: "The email's content, I'm sure you've seen it, little brother Jiang Cheng; our Seventh Squad is responsible for the patrol mission of the Sector 15-20 passage, usually once a week, mainly checking for intruders, including people or Exotic Beasts; if there are any and the target's threat is ordinary, we directly resolve it; if the target's threat is great, we first return to report, then later the preceding squads will handle it; in most cases there is no danger, so you don't need to worry too much, and moreover, we will also take extra care of you then."

"Thank you, captain."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly expressed thanks.

Although he is actually safe, because he possesses a Six-grade elementary treasure, while this captain is only a Third-level Grandmaster; even if there were a threat capable of endangering the latter's life, for him it would still be fine.

"Hehehe, nothing much; being able to be in the same squad is also a kind of fate, mutual care is also appropriate." Yu Yang laughed heartily.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Cheng asked: "Captain, besides you and me, how many other members does our squad have?"

"There are three more."

Yu Yang explained: "The squad numbers in Hope City are generally between three and six; before you joined us, our Seventh Squad had only four people; I won't elaborate further; the other three people include one deputy captain and two team members."

"The deputy captain's strength is that of a Second-level Spirit Master; the two team members' strengths are the same as yours, both First-level Force Masters; of course, Jiang Cheng, little brother, your identity is somewhat special—you are still an Eleven-level Alchemist; frankly, when I saw your records, I still couldn't believe it."

Yu Yang gave a wry smile; at that time he even specially called the superiors, repeatedly asking whether they had made a mistake—how could a logistics personnel be assigned to a combat squad?

"Captain, I am indeed an alchemist, but I am also a Rebel Soldier, wanting to make more contributions to Hope City." Jiang Cheng said.

"That's how it is."

Yu Yang rose with solemn respect.

"Alright, that's all we'll say on the phone; let's meet at the base gate at 7 a. m. the day after tomorrow; then I'll introduce you to the other team members, after which we'll go on the mission."

"Okay, thank you, captain."

"Hehehe, you're welcome; remember to come early, definitely don't be late."
