NOVEL WEB Chapter 82 Hello Everyone
After resting for over a hundred days in Great Wu, Meng Yu returned to the Immortal Sect and wrote a report, declaring the loss of the Firebird Undying Sword, as well as the damage to two Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Armors and a few Healing Talismans.
It's quite normal to lose weapons during military operations, isn't it? Misplacing supplies is commonplace, and taking showers with mineral water is no big deal, right? Surely no one thinks you can't have air conditioning on 24/7 in a military tent?
So, the support system issued new weapons, and then the killing continued.
These monsters were tough, but they also made the best whetstones.
And then, precious items encountered along the way were stored in the storage ring, to be sent back to Great Wu whenever the opportunity arose.
Would anyone be suspicious?
What a joke, Meng Yu's weapon attrition was considered minimal compared to what those squads went through in intense battles!
Remember, when poor cultivators find out they can claim expenses and get supplied with Spirit Talismans and weapons in Immortal Sect wars, those regular troops go much further than Meng Yu! That's why the Immortal Sect would rather hire cultivators and allow students from Penglai University to handle the rescue operations, rather than deploying official departments.
On Azure Star, trading weapons is illegal, but in the Immortal Sect, weapons can literally be used as currency!
And this currency can even be used to buy life and the future!
Who doesn't know how to exploit a good situation?
...
Days passed one by one, and after battling continuously for two months, Meng Yu, who never took a break or asked for leave and was always fighting on the front line, aside from being at the top of every KPI, finally decided to take a day off under the repeated requests of his superiors—in fact, they were close to swearing at him—to quell the rising discontent.
It was rare to have a day off, though it wasn't as relaxing as the hundred-plus days in Great Wu, or as abundant in whatever you wished for, but... Meng Yu still decided to check the command center to see if Zhuge Caihua needed help with anything.
Thanking this kind girl for helping him complete the second red mission.
Meng Yu, carrying a cup of tea, walked toward the command center. Along the way, he passed many handsome men and pretty women. Some looked decent, except for their dark circles, while others were outright slovenly, throwing all decorum out the window.
Meng Yu felt a deep sadness for the quality of the Immortal Sect's younger generation.
There he saw Zhuge Caihua, looking stunned and pale, with red eyes and devoid of strength, like she had been ravaged by dozens of cats in a cat café, no, rather she was on the verge of collapse after two months of command.
Before the mission, the superiors told Zhuge Caihua and the other commanders that as ship girls, err... humanoid AI terminals, they must be humble and temperate.
You will face the most painful moments of your life.
First comes physical exhaustion. In the past, many Minor Worlds had seen battles involving hundreds of thousands, even millions of people, where commanders would be on the go for months, so exhausted they were barely human, all data had to be processed in their minds, and they couldn't slack off in any area, ready to sacrifice everything for victory.
And they, this time, were to command a planet, billions of people, against hundreds of billions of monsters!
Then, it was the psychological pressure.
She arrived full of confidence, believing she was up to the task.
And then... two months went by, and she felt she was on the brink of a breakdown.
Every decision she made could determine the fate of hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of lives. Sometimes, the local people she had just gotten to know would go into battle and then be sacrificed.
Oh, and someone was cleaning up nearby. Zhuge Caihua frowned—hadn't she said not to touch her stuff or try to curry favor with unnecessary gestures?
Numbly turning her head, she saw Meng Yu.
There he was, diligently clearing the clutter, including serving tea and water—wait, when did the Immortal Sect become so extravagant as to employ someone like Meng Yu as a servant?
The brightness emanating from him was a stark contrast to Zhuge Caihua and the other commanders' tired eyes.
This odd fellow!
A thousand people from Penglai University had arrived, and on the attendance sheet, even the most persistent person had taken a few days off, yet Meng Yu... this guy was still hopping around, doing the most arduous and exhausting job with the strongest killings. His dedication to work and high efficiency shocked even the people of Changdong Minor World, who expressed that the Immortal Sect was truly formidable, that such a powerful person would obediently go to prison and work hard awaiting release!
The weirdo from the Immortal Sect was indeed such a weirdo!
How did he end up here?
"Well, you gave me a day off, so I came over to see if there was anything I could help with," he said.
His smile was sunny, and his voice, clear and captivating!
"Don't you need to rest?"
"What is rest?"
Penglai University had done much research on Divine Refinement, and now, everyone inside the command center was staring, but what did they see?
A man who had been fighting continuously for sixty-five days, battling day and night, was in incredibly good shape, his Divine Soul crystal clear and flawless, still maintaining boundless passion!
Essence, Qi, and Spirit, these were the fundamentals of cultivation, but the last one, the strength of the Divine Soul, was often overlooked by most cultivators because it was difficult to measure with instruments and slow to cultivate. However, the truly strong knew that the Divine Soul could be even more important than the first two to some extent.
"You're not tired, no…"
"Ah, the things you're talking about, they don't bother me."
If previously Zhuge Caihua had suspected that Meng Yu had some sort of treasure, this time, she could only admire Meng Yu's talent (after returning from a break of over a hundred days).
If you called him a heartless and ruthless man, it might still be okay, but you could clearly feel his contribution, not to mention, he watched tenderly, like a curious cat watching its owner who had been busy shoveling poop all day, wondering why they were sleeping at three in the morning instead of playing!
"Get lost, get out, don't show up in front of me, I can't be happy when I see you!"
The girl suddenly collapsed, hustling and dragging Meng Yu out.
She had struggled for twenty years, got into Penglai University, this aid mission was paving the way for her, she had also trained in various Divine Skill Secret Manuals, and had a trump card, at least a Golden Core in the future, but... comparing people can be infuriating!
Why does this scum have to be in the same era as me?
Ahhh!
A freak, this guy is a super freak!
...
Ninety days later, the rescue was completed, and Meng Yu and the others returned to Supreme Star. When leaving, Meng Yu met with Zhuge Caihua, and the girl apologized to Meng Yu, saying she was sorry for her bad attitude that day, and so on.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and the girl said that once her mission was over, she would definitely take a good vacation to relax. She asked Meng Yu if he was free? An amusement planet was under maintenance, and she could go there to have some fun with Meng Yu.
While speaking, her face was flushed.
Meng Yu looked at her face, and then at her chest... Meng Yu firmly denied looking at that, but his silence made the girl sigh and then she left.
Yes, Meng Yu had said, he liked Xiong Da.
Yes, she should also focus on her cultivation.
Well, all of this was nothing, just as Meng Yu didn't care much about the internship scores Penglai University gave him, nor did he care about the subsequent development of Changdong Star, etc. He returned to Supreme Star and then... continued on his business trips.
Although some people felt it would upset him, regrettably, they did not know that they would regret that action for the rest of their lives.
Or they might never have a chance to regret it.
