Chapter 250: Good Luck

High-level meeting room in the Ninth Defense Zone Inner City.

Yingzhou looked at the Councilors in the projection, propping his chin up with his right hand out of boredom, waiting for the meeting to begin.

His sturdy physique filled the entire projector, appearing exceptionally cramped, and the other Councilors also looked toward Yingzhou with strange gazes.

"First, a sorrowful piece of news: the former Military District Chief Ji Bu sacrificed himself in a recent battle against the Alien Race. His sacrifice shattered the Alien Race's conspiracy to invade the Ninth Defense Zone, and we will remember his name. Before his death, Ji Bu had already designated his successor for the Military District: Yingzhou, who has been active in resisting the Alien Race recently."

At the front of the meeting room, Selina adjusted her glasses and said in a flat tone.

"Yingzhou, I never expected you to become Ji Bu's successor?"

Jack touched his receding hairline and said to Yingzhou with a smile.

Yingzhou was also sizing up the members of the Council at this moment, and after hearing Jack's words, he replied politely.

"Since Chief Ji Bu trusted me, I will certainly not let down the trust Chief Ji Bu placed in me, and I will make those Alien Races who invaded us pay a price in blood."

Just then, Yingzhou saw a young man with a smile on his face clap his hands, his gaze fixed directly on Yingzhou.

"Yingzhou, we know you are a young and promising soldier. Being able to become the Chief of the Military District proves that Ji Bu trusted you very much, but you must know that we are already exhausted just from defending against the Alien Race. Are you planning to take the initiative and attack the Alien Race?

Your ability is indeed very strong, being able to summon nearly 3,000 soldiers, but a full-scale confrontation with the Alien Race is not such an easy matter.

Of course, you have just become the Military District Chief and want to accomplish something; we can understand that, but this must be done slowly, don't be impulsive."

Yingzhou looked at the name written on the man's desk: Pake.

"Councilor Pake, I appreciate your good intentions. I naturally know what to do when it comes to fighting the Alien Race."

"If you lack experience and need help, we can also send some experienced people to the Military District to assist you."

Yingzhou watched Pake looking at him with a smile, and for no reason, a feeling of disgust toward this guy rose in his heart.

This guy gave people the feeling of a knife hidden in a smile. It made one feel sick.

"Ahem, since we have already met the new Chief of the Military District, we can move on to the next topic."

An old man coughed dryly and said to everyone.

Seeing this, Selina turned to the next page of the records and spoke up.

"Given that the Production Zone in the Ninth Defense Zone Outer City has been targeted by the Alien Race, we have decided to add a Military District unit near the Production Zone. If the Military District Chief does not agree to add a unit in the Outer City, one can also be selected from the Inner City to join."

Having said that, Selina looked toward Yingzhou and asked.

"Yingzhou, do you agree to add a unit to the Production Zone to maintain stability? If the Alien Race wants to destroy our logistics again, the Production Zone will also have a certain amount of defensive power."

Yingzhou looked at Selina's calm eyes and spoke.

"I agree. I will arrange for a unit to head to the Production Zone to maintain the safety and order of the Production Zone."

"Ahem, Yingzhou, you might not know, but Ji Bu previously stated that the defensive unit for the Production Zone would be dispatched by the Inner City's City Defense Force. Won't your actions now be a bit inappropriate?"

At this time, Pu Lie looked toward Yingzhou and spoke.

"Since you have already said that it was something Ji Bu promised before, then you go find Ji Bu to verify this matter. My decision will not change."

"You! You..."

Pu Lie looked toward Yingzhou with somewhat agitated emotions, his mouth opening several times, but in the end, he closed it.

Afterward, they discussed some other matters unrelated to the Military District. Finally, after Selina announced the end of the meeting, Yingzhou reached his hand toward the hang-up button, but several strange gazes turned toward the projector, and he discovered that most of the Councilors were looking at him.

As the projection connection hung up, Yingzhou asked Lu Zhenda, who was to the side, in confusion.

"Regarding the Production Zone wanting a defensive unit? Are there any requirements?"

Lu Zhenda handed the application that the Production Zone had previously submitted to the Military District to Yingzhou and said.

"The Production Zone is requesting a unit that is strictly disciplined and equipped with light weapons. The Human Alliance has regulations that heavy firepower equipment is prohibited from entering the Outer City without special circumstances."

Yingzhou nodded, flipped open the document Lu Zhenda handed over, and asked.

"Then why did Chief Ji Bu hand this matter over to the Inner City's City Defense Force before? Is the Military District so short-staffed right now?"

"Chief Ji Bu did not explain the situation to me at the time. After all, subsequent decisions were all made by Chief Ji Bu alone; I was not assisting on the side."

Lu Zhenda wiped the sweat from his forehead and set aside the document Yingzhou had finished reading.

"Hmm, I'll handle this matter. Let's stop here for today; you go back first."

Yingzhou pinched the corner of his eye and said to Lu Zhenda.

"Understood."

After Lu Zhenda left Yingzhou's office, Yingzhou let out a long breath.

"Ah, so tired. I haven't had a good rest these past few days; I feel exhausted to the bone. Let me think about how to handle the defensive unit needed for the Production Zone. Which Legion should I send?"

Thinking of this, Yingzhou's eyes lit up, and he said in an excited tone.

"I seem to have accumulated a few Random Draw chances, and I still have one opportunity to summon a Legion! I've been so busy these past few days I almost forgot!"

Saying this, Yingzhou patted his head and opened his System Panel.

Seeing that he had 4 Random Draw chances, he rubbed his hands together, closed his eyes, and said straightforwardly.

"System, use two draws first."

"Consuming 2 Random Draw chances, drawing..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 25 points."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one opportunity to Improve Physical Fitness."

Yingzhou saw the newly appeared reward and didn't beat around the bush, asking the system directly.

"Host, it means exactly what it says: it can improve a person's physical fitness, allowing their physical fitness to rise by one level, gaining stronger power, and their lifespan will also be increased. But improving physical fitness does not mean it can save the life of someone on the verge of death. Please use it cautiously, host, to avoid causing unnecessary losses."

Yingzhou asked again, "But, can't I use Faith Value to improve the physical fitness of those people? What is the difference between this and what the draw gave me?"

"Host, just as you said, Faith Value can be used to improve the bodies of the people who provide you with Faith Value. However, the opportunity to Improve Physical Fitness just obtained from the draw has no limitations and can be used on anyone."

After hearing this, Yingzhou nodded with a sudden realization. It seemed his luck was quite good today; should he go all out and use the remaining two draw chances as well?

"Just do it! System, use the remaining two draw chances too!"

"Consuming Random Draw chances, drawing..."
