Chapter 1729: Opening Ceremony of Brother Duan's Special Training Class

"Caw—"

The next morning at 5:40, while the brain-evolved raven Moli was wearing a camera and carrying out a patrol mission over the territory and surrounding areas, she discovered that the situation on the first peak of Mountain 49 was abnormal. She immediately accelerated, increased her flight altitude, and reported the situation to avoid being hit by firepower from the ground.

The white-eyed raven flying alongside her also quickly increased altitude. This battle-experienced speed-evolved raven circled around Moli a few times. Although it didn't detect any danger, it also let out cawing cries.

Three blue jays and two ravens, upon hearing the white-eyed raven's calls, immediately took off and formed an attack formation.

"Received. Good job, Guagua, discovering so quickly that Mountain 49 is different from usual. Thanks, White Eyes, for protecting Moli—you really are the most boyfriend-worthy male raven on Blue Star."

Xin Yu, who was doing morning exercises on a treadmill, looked at the monitor screen and saw two evolved wolves appear outside the monitoring room. She first praised the brain-evolved raven Moli, then casually praised the white-eyed raven as well.

Whether it understood or not right now, praise it first. Praise it enough and it will understand—this was the lesson Xin Yu had learned from Xia Qing.

After the praise, Xin Yu got down to business. "At six o'clock this morning, the special training class for Broken-Waist Wolf officially begins. All the guardians of Mountain 49 will be replaced by members of the Northern Wolf Pack, and the monitoring will also be handled by the wolf pack."

"Look." Moli was very interested upon hearing this and wanted to go watch the Broken-Waist Wolf special training. She had often gone with the white-eyed raven to watch Yan Long train wolves, along with Xia Qing and Tan Qi.

Xin Yu gently coaxed, "Guagua is on a mission. Finish patrolling Mountain 49 and Mountain 50 first, then go. Look, Xia Qing is here."

Moli, who was on patrol duty, looked down and saw a human running quickly through the evolved forest. She immediately folded her wings and landed.

Xia Qing, hurrying to the training ground, looked up and quickly spotted two familiar ravens mixed in with the flock of birds. She swiftly pulled a pearl bracelet from her pocket, put it on, stood in an open area, and waved in greeting. "Moli, White Eyes, are you on a mission?"

"Shrimp!" Moli folded her wings and landed on Xia Qing's shoulder, while the white-eyed raven landed on a nearby large tree.

"Mm, I'm going to the third peak of Mountain 49 on a mission." Xia Qing pulled two pine nuts from her pocket, handed one to Moli, and tossed the other to the white-eyed raven. The white-eyed raven took off and skillfully caught it.

Xin Yu reported the mission situation. "Xia Qing, no danger found in any territory. Small animals on Mountain 49 have increased. I suspect the thaw won't wait until tomorrow."

According to the weather forecast issued by the Hui-3 Weather Station, the ice and snow will thaw between two and four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and temperatures will rise rapidly.

However, it was the norm for weather forecasts to be inaccurate.

"It's possible. The small animals have already come out of their burrows. On my way here just now, I saw four evolved mice on Mountain 49. Last night, one was found in Territory 6, and the plucked-mustache weasel caught another one." After chatting with her friend for a few sentences through the walkie-talkie Moli was carrying, Xia Qing took off the pearl bracelet, handed it to Moli, and continued sprinting on her way.

Moli, delighted with the gift, happily grabbed the pearl bracelet with her claws and flew two circles before handing the bracelet to the white-eyed raven and continuing her mission. The white-eyed raven hid the bracelet well and quickly took off to catch up with Moli.

After the white-eyed raven flew off, a leopard quickly climbed up the tree, used its claws to dig out the bracelet the raven had hidden, and upon discovering a companion's scent on the bracelet, swiftly picked it up in its mouth and rushed toward the monitoring room on the first peak, nudging open the door and placing the bracelet on the table.

Little Wolf Brother, who had been watching the monitors, and the evolved leopard sniffed each other. The evolved leopard left the monitoring room to continue its patrol. Little Wolf Brother took out his phone, took a photo, posted it in the group chat @-ing Xia Qing, then continued watching Xia Qing on the monitor.

Xia Qing, who was on her way, took out her phone and saw that the bracelet she had just given to Moli had ended up in Little Wolf Brother's hands. She was silent for two seconds, then sent a meme in the group chat and continued on her way.

Little Wolf Brother, upon receiving the meme, watched as Xia Qing slowly moved from one screen to another and left the monitoring area.

The first and second peaks of Mountain 49 belong to the Azure Dragon Squad and are equipped with cameras. The third peak belongs to the Northern Wolf Pack and has no cameras. Little Wolf Brother's mission was to guard the first and second peaks. Since Xia Qing had left, he no longer needed to monitor her movements. He immediately turned to check the other screens, and upon discovering any problem, immediately dispatched wolves or leopards to investigate.

Below the third peak of Mountain 49, the forest was dense and the rocks were jagged.

An evolved wolf wearing a protective suit sat squatting in the center of the training ground under a large tree, its face stern. Standing in a row in front of it were humans wearing identical protective suits, equally stern... and excited.

Seeing Xia Qing running over slowly, Broken-Waist Wolf didn't open its mouth, just stared at her sternly and raised its left front paw to stretch it twice.

This was Yan Long's preparatory move for beating someone up when a trainee was late. This guy really didn't let go of any detail.

Xia Qing couldn't handle Yan Long, but handling a certain wolf was a piece of cake for her!

She advanced at top speed, stood to the left of Beard Point, stood at attention, and reported, "Reporting—human translator for Brother Duan's special training class, Xia Qing, arriving at the training ground two minutes early. Awaiting Brother Duan's instructions!"

Brother Duan? Party A had requested she call it that. Yan Long was called Sister Yan, so of course it was Brother Duan.

The expressions of the Beard Point Squad all contorted at the same time: Sister Qing, please don't be like this, we can barely hold it in.

Broken-Waist Wolf's stern gaze swept across the Beard Point Squad. After waiting for them to hold it in one by one, it finally fixed its stern gaze on Xia Qing. "Aow."

"Yes!"

Xia Qing, who had received 1,500 points in translation fees, strictly followed the requirements Broken-Waist Wolf had sent her to carry out the mission—a pep talk.

The content of the pep talk? Party A hadn't specified; she improvised on the spot.

Xia Qing stepped over to Broken-Waist Wolf's side, took off her protective mask and hood, and used her left hand to grab back her thick short hair.

This move was, of course, also specifically requested by Party A via message. Xia Qing's hair was a bit longer than Yan Long's, so grabbing it like this didn't look great, but for the points she endured it.

She was going to build a fortress costing over 65 million, so she had to strictly follow Party A's requirements and absolutely couldn't let Party A find a loophole to dock her points!

Her stern gaze swept across the ten members of the Beard Point Squad, and she spoke with authority. "You signed up and paid to participate in Brother Duan's special training class because you believe that through this one-month special training, you can improve your combat power. From the moment you step into this training ground, you have only one identity: trainees who need to be shaped, tempered, and forged into true close-combat blades!"

The Beard Point Squad... weren't these Captain Luo's words...

Broken-Waist Wolf nodded solemnly. Well said!

"Combat is the killing technique that lets you defeat enemies and survive in the most complex, narrowest, and weapon-failing desperate situations. To survive, you need the courage to fight with your life on the line, and the ferocity to counterattack from a desperate situation. If you don't have these, get out of the special training class immediately and roll back to the safe zone!"

"Aow!"

"... Is that clear?"

"Crystal clear!"

Xia Qing was not satisfied. "Haven't you eaten?"

The Beard Point Squad shouted at the top of their lungs, "Crys-tal! Clear!"

Broken-Waist Wolf nodded in satisfaction with its furry big head, then raised its paw and pointed at Chen Cheng, the weakest in combat power among the Beard Point Squad.

Xia Qing translated, "Actual combat is the fastest way to improve combat power. The rest of you pair up for sparring practice. Chen Cheng, you challenge the instructor with everything you've got."

"Yes!" Chen Cheng, who had used hot weapons against evolved wolves but had never fought one in hand-to-hand combat, charged forward with blood boiling.

Xia Qing retreated to the side and watched intently.
