Chapter 352: Cheers in the Military Camp

~7 min read 1,210 words

Come, you're thirsty—have some tea.

Zheng Xuelan quickly walked over holding a teacup.

She parted her lips slightly, lifted the cup lid, and blew on the hot steam for Lu Jing.

Thank you.

Lu Jing reached out, took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "There's nothing going on here; you can go back first."

"Alright, then I'll head out. If you need anything, remember to contact me."

Zheng Xuelan worried about annoying Lu Jing, so she didn't linger any longer.

Just as she reached the living room door, Zheng Xuelan suddenly thought of something: "Lu Jing, can I add you on Prestige?"

"Of course."

Lu Jing nodded, put his hand in his pocket, intending to pull out his phone.

But he came up empty.

Only then did he remember that his phone had been smashed to pieces back when he was in the Cave.

"Sorry, my phone's broken, and I haven't bought a new one."

"No problem, I'll let the logistics department know, and they'll send you a new one later!"

Zheng Xuelan said with a chuckle, "Then I'll head out now; I'll come see you another day."

After seeing Zheng Xuelan off, Lu Jing began to stroll around the villa.

After about half an hour, the maid who had finished cleaning found him.

"Sir, dinner time is approaching; what would you like to eat? I'll go prepare it."

Lu Jing, crouching to admire a corner of the garden's flower bed, replied, "Just bring something; make sure the portions are generous—I have a big appetite."

"Alright, will three servings be enough?"

The maid asked.

Lu Jing thought for a moment, then said, "Prepare enough for five; that should be sufficient."

"All right, please wait a moment."

The maid in a maid's uniform lowered her head and retreated, heading to the kitchen to start cooking.

Lu Jing also rose from the garden and walked to the dining room to get ready to eat.

The maid was obviously professionally trained, highly skilled at cooking; in less than half an hour she was placing steaming plates of food on the table.

The dinner for five filled the large table to the brim.

Lu Jing picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender red meat, and put it in his mouth.. ghxsw. c0

"Mm, not bad; this must be high-grade demon beast meat."

Lu Jing's eyes lit up; this meal really suited his appetite.

Back in the Cave, most of what he ate was portable rations; he couldn't even see soup, and his mouth was about to turn bland.

Now, eating such delicious food, his appetite was stirred.

After the maid finished serving the meal, she didn't retreat but stood beside Lu Jing and asked:

"Sir, do you need me to serve you while you eat?"

"No need."

Lu Jing blinked slightly, not expecting the maid to also be responsible for serving meals.

However, he had no habit of letting others feed him.

As a spiritual-system Talent Endowed, he could easily make food fly to his mouth, but Lu Jing still preferred to eat with chopsticks.

"All right, sir."

The maid obediently stepped aside, occasionally refilling Lu Jing's tea as he ate heartily.

"By the way, what's your name, and how long have you worked here?"

Lu Jing asked while eating.

"Replying, sir, I'm Chi Xuan, and I've worked here for over five years."

Chi Xuan walked forward obediently.

After chatting with Chi Xuan, Lu Jing basically understood her situation.

Chi Xuan, like Zheng Xuelan, grew up in the military district from childhood.

The only difference was their status: Zheng Xuelan was the child of a military officer, while Chi Xuan's parents were ordinary martial artists working here.

The reason she could stay in the military district was that her parents exchanged labor for it.

But when Chi Xuan mentioned her parents, her expression became somewhat unnatural.

Lu Jing noticed this and asked, "What do your parents do?"

"They...... died on the battlefield and were buried in the martyrs' cemetery south of headquarters; they gave their lives defending the Cave front line......"

"Sorry......"

Lu Jing sighed and apologized softly.

"You don't need to apologize."

Chi Xuan shook her head and forced out a smile.

Lu Jing ate quietly, not asking anything further.

After finishing his meal, Lu Jing checked the time.

"It's barely 7 p. m., and I'm already getting sleepy......"

After eating, it's easy to feel drowsy; Lu Jing didn't fight the urge, went straight up to the fifth floor, found a random bedroom, and fell asleep.

At the same time, the Eastern Grade A Cave.

"What are you saying, Lu Jing passed the certification, directly becoming a Level 9 General Star?!"

In a military camp, Situjun's voice was filled with excitement and disbelief.

The Energy Stone Communicator in his hand made a creak-creak sound.

"Yes, Lord Seat, Lu Jing scored a combat power of 930,000, topping the General Star Ranking List of the Eastern Third Military District!"

The communicator transmitted sound again.

"Great! Excellent!"

Situjun laughed loudly, "My troops are promising, wherever they go they're first!"

930,000 combat power!

An 18-year-old Level 9 General Star!

Since joining the military, Situjun had never encountered such an absurd thing.

The most important thing is that Lu Jing came from his hands, this is something he can brag about for a lifetime!

Situjun didn't know how to describe his inner joy and excitement.

After struggling to stay calm, Situjun called back Dong Ningxue and Zhu Xingyao, who were still cleaning the cave.

"These two girls are indispensable; after all, Lu Jing is talent they dug out of Anwu City!"

After contacting the two women, Situjun stood in the military camp, looking at the communicator in his hand covered with cracks, and couldn't help laughing again.

Grade A Cave Third Frontline.

Two graceful figures were walking one after the other.

One was petite and short, with cute twin tails, a soft and soft loli.

The other was tall and slender, wearing a tight combat uniform that outlined her curvaceous figure in a surging manner, with azure-blue long hair flowing over her shoulders, and a hint of doubt on her fair face.

"Xingyao, what do you think Lord Seat suddenly called us back for?"

Zhu Xingyao spread her hands, "I don't know, but from Lord Seat's tone, it seems something major has happened."

"It couldn't be that, since Lu Jing killed that Lord-level Aberrant Beast, the number of aberrant beasts in this cave has greatly decreased, and the front line is no longer strained, right?"

Dong Ningxue thought for a moment and then said.

"Maybe it's unrelated to the cave," Zhu Xingyao raised her eyebrows and said, "Speaking of that kid Lu Jing, I don't know how he is now, or whether he has reached the military district headquarters."

"He should have arrived by now, they took a helicopter, hoping Lu Jing can pass certification smoothly."

The two women chatted as they walked toward the command room of the first front line.

Suddenly, cheers erupted one after another from the direction of the front military camp.

"What's happening?"

Dong Ningxue became even more curious at this moment.

She quickly stepped forward a few steps, grabbed an excited-looking soldier, and asked, "What's up, what are you cheering for?"
