Chapter 71: The Shimmering Golden Officer Card

Zhou Chu's gaze could not help but turn toward Lin Yue'er, who was supporting Chu Shuangshuang.

Lin Yue'er understood immediately and hurriedly explained, "Why are you looking at me like that? I haven't had the chance to tell Captain Chu about what happened earlier yet."

"Yue'er, what exactly happened earlier? I remember fighting that Calamity Lord quite fiercely; how did we suddenly return to the base?"

"I only remember hearing Xiao Chu's voice at the time. I wonder if I was just hallucinating?"

Only then did Chu Shuangshuang realize that she had not a single memory in her mind of what had occurred previously.

"Anyone who dares to hurt my aunt shall die!" A voice rang out in her ears once again.

Chu Shuangshuang's body jolted violently, and she looked at Zhou Chu in disbelief: "Yes, yes, that's the voice. Could it really not have been a hallucination?"

Lin Yue'er smiled helplessly: "You weren't hallucinating; that voice was indeed Zhou Chu's."

Chu Shuangshuang was even more incredulous.

She reached out to pull on Zhou Chu, checking him over incessantly, her eyes full of anxiety: "Are you hurt? Did you get injured anywhere?"

Seeing that Zhou Chu was safe and sound, a lingering fear gripped Chu Shuangshuang's heart, and she nearly burst into tears from the worry.

She punched Zhou Chu in the chest and said worriedly: "That was a Calamity Lord! What are you, a little F-Grade, trying to be a hero for? If the boss hadn't arrived in time, we would have both lost our lives!"

Seeing that Long Aofei was also there, Chu Shuangshuang mistakenly assumed that it was this Grand Commander who had personally stepped in to save them.

At this moment, Long Aofei spread his hands and said: "Captain Chu, this really has nothing to do with me. I received two reports at the headquarters in a row."

"One was that your Xiaolong Squad was almost wiped out, and the other was that Demon Cave No. 15 and No. 18 were both cleared at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shuangshuang couldn't help but blink in surprise: "It wasn't you who took action? Then which reinforcements did it? Since when did our Exorcism Army have such valiant troops?"

The corners of Long Aofei's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out an unnatural smile before pointing at Zhou Chu: "The one who cleared the Demon Caves and saved you this time wasn't some reinforcement; it was your own nephew, Zhou Chu."

When Chu Shuangshuang heard this, she widened her eyes in surprise, though the look she gave Long Aofei seemed to say: I don't believe a word of that.

At this time, Long Aofei subconsciously asked another question: "By the way, who is usually around Zhou Chu, or are there any powerful experts or the like?"

Chu Shuangshuang paused for a moment, shook her head, and said: "No. He's usually all alone when he gets home, and he's always being bullied at school."

"If he had some expert by his side, no one would dare bully him!"

Long Aofei narrowed his eyes slightly at this, sneering inwardly: "Keep pretending! Just keep pretending!"

Lin Yue'er, standing to the side, couldn't watch anymore; she couldn't believe that Chu Shuangshuang wouldn't even trust what the Grand Commander said.

It seemed that Chu Shuangshuang's prejudice against her own nephew had reached a deep-rooted level.

Therefore, she said rather crossly to Zhou Chu: "Is that Honor Medal on you just for show? Take it out and let Captain Chu see it!"

"Oh, oh."

Zhou Chu nodded hurriedly and then took a box out from his Life Soul Artifact.

Seeing Zhou Chu take out that box, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Lin Yue'er's face.

However, when she saw another box inexplicably appear in Zhou Chu's hand, her smile froze instantly, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

At the same time, Chu Shuangshuang was also stunned when she saw Zhou Chu suddenly produce two boxes containing Honor Medals.

Following this, Zhou Chu opened both boxes one after the other and handed them to Chu Shuangshuang.

It was actually a C-Grade Honor Medal and a B-Grade Honor Medal!

When Lin Yue'er saw that B-Grade Honor Medal, she exclaimed: "Wow, Zhou Chu has been promoted again!"

Chu Shuangshuang widened her eyes, staring at the boxes in Zhou Chu's hands in disbelief, and stammered: "A-Chu, this... what is going on? How do you have two Honor Medals?"

Zhou Chu pointed to the C-Grade medal and said: "I got this from clearing Demon Cave No. 69 and No. 55 last time."

He then pointed to the B-Grade medal and said: "I got this one from clearing No. 15 and No. 18."

"Both of these medals were personally awarded to me by the Chief."

Zhou Chu didn't forget to add that final sentence.

Chu Shuangshuang couldn't help but take a deep breath; she felt as if she didn't recognize this nephew of hers anymore.

She certainly knew about the clearing of No. 69 and No. 55.

It seemed to have happened just two days ago.

She hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but she had felt quite encouraged when she heard the news.

She never would have imagined that the one who cleared those two Demon Caves was her own nephew.

Who would have thought that just two days later, No. 15 and No. 18 would be cleared as well.

But the person who cleared them wasn't the Vanguard Team or her Xiaolong Squad, but Zhou Chu.

This left Chu Shuangshuang even more bewildered.

Isn't my silly nephew just an F-Grade? When did he become so powerful!

Chu Shuangshuang was still dazed at this moment.

However, the Honor Medals before her eyes could not be fake, not to mention that these two medals were personally awarded by the Grand Commander.

As the supreme leader of the Exorcism Army, he would absolutely not be so careless as to take such precious Honor Medals and give them away.

At this time, Long Aofei took out a shimmering golden card and handed it to Zhou Chu, saying: "This is the exclusive Officer Card of the Exorcism Army, which only those with the rank of Lieutenant or higher are qualified to possess. With this card, you can freely enter and exit the Demon Exorcism Army Headquarters."

"At the same time, the Military Merit Value you earn will be credited to this card immediately after the statistics are settled."

"You can also use it to open the Demon Suppression Tower at the Demon Exorcism Army Headquarters and spend the corresponding Military Merit Value to challenge monsters of different difficulties; defeating the monsters will allow you to obtain corresponding items."

"You can explore the specific usage slowly in the future."

"I must remind you one last time: there is only one such card, and if it is lost, it cannot be replaced!"

Zhou Chu's eyes lit up, and he carefully took the golden card, feeling extremely excited.

It sounded like this card was a rare and wonderful thing.

Not only could it store Military Merit Value, but it also allowed free access to the Demon Exorcism Army Headquarters.

What's more, it could even open the Demon Suppression Tower at the headquarters...

Zhou Chu didn't know much about this Demon Suppression Tower, only that it suppressed many powerful exotic beasts and monsters inside.

It is hailed as a forbidden zone within the Exorcism Army.

Long Aofei said that only by spending the corresponding Military Merit Value can one challenge monsters of different difficulties within the tower, and only then can one obtain the desired rewards.

It seems that simply obtaining this Military Merit Value is not enough to easily get the items one wishes to exchange for.

One must also successfully challenge those powerful monsters.

However, this also precisely shows that only those with true strength are qualified to obtain more resources and opportunities within the Exorcism Army.

Since he has this card, Zhou Chu feels that he should find an opportunity to go and explore this Legendary forbidden zone.
