"Additionally, the greatest role of Grandmasters in the mine areas is still to suppress the cold, but the most crucial defense tasks ultimately fall on us, the fifth rank."
Jia Weisu said solemnly.
"Hmm, I understand.
"General Jiao Qingyuan, indeed made a tremendous sacrifice."
Su Yue nodded.
Watching the human army being slaughtered, he surely felt terrible inside.
Bai Xiaolong also nodded.
He was equally shocked by Jiao Qingyuanâs deeds.
"Hopefully when we go to the mine later, General Jiao Qingyuan hasnât left, it would be a shame to have come for nothing."
Jia Weisu muttered to himself.
"Is today the Generalâs off day?"
Su Yue was startled.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
"Itâs uncertain, according to the Generalâs habits, he returns to Earth once a month, but the exact day is irregular, he leaves whenever he wishes.
"But when he returns to Earth, he just sits in the Heroic Spirit Mausoleum for a day, chatting with his old comrades.
"General Jiao Qingyuan, guarding the mine area, theoretically has earned considerable merit, which could accumulate into a large amount of wealth.
"But he doesnât take a single cent from the Military Department, his only request is to have the raw minerals refined into powder, to be used as material to etch the heroesâ names in the West City Mausoleum.
"The greatest trait of source minerals as weapon materials is their toughness and durability.
"Even after a few hundred years, those hero names will still look brand new. Through his life-long dedication, he protects the wealth of the Divine Land. Meanwhile, he spends all his compensations to ensure the immortality of the hero names."
Jia Weisu sighed, uncertain how to evaluate Jiao Qingyuan.
The sentiments of this person have become so great they are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"So selfless."
Su Yue nodded, feeling somewhat parched.
Bai Xiaolongâs eyes reddened.
This is the highest realm of dedicating oneself to the Divine Land, compared to Jiao Qingyuan, we young people still have a long way to go.
"Brother Jia, given General Jiao Qingyuanâs quiet nature, he wouldnât mind me disturbing him, would he?"
Su Yue asked worriedly.
If the other party doesnât wish to see him, then thereâs no need to disturb him, better not to provoke any dislike.
"Donât worry, General Jiao Qingyuanâs life was saved by your father.
"Before the discovery of source minerals, Jiao Qingyuan was only a fourth rank. At that time, he was being hunted by the Yangxiang Race in the mountains, and it was Prince Qing who led the forces to decimate the pursuers, thus rescuing Jiao Qingyuan.
"When he learned you were coming to the second front, he repeatedly insisted that we must take you to meet him."
Jia Weisu laughed.
"So thatâs how it is."
Su Yue nodded.
It seems that his father indeed had a good reputation on the second front.
Bai Xiaolong gave Su Yue a sour look.
So it turns out this guy has such deep connections on the second front.
...
Cheng Dongfeng is the chef of the Cangyuan Sixth Camp.
Even though this is the Wet Realm, since theyâre able to make a fire, theyâve heated up some vacuum-packed canned food.
To say the least, it indeed has a bit of flavor.
In fact, in the Wet Realm, even metal cans quickly corrode and break, these cans have several layers, making them very inconvenient.
But Martial Artists, after all, are Martial Artists, they donât need to eat every day; using Qi Blood they can sustain their vitality.
After dinner, Jia Weisu and the others stayed to guard the barracks, this time Wang Anhu would lead Su Yue to the mine area, and Bai Xiaolong was lucky to follow Su Yue to meet this legendary hero.
"Su Yue, knowing that you were coming to the second front, weâve already prepared a special training place for you, and prepared training pills as well.
"They were all seized from aliens, mostly safe, guaranteed not to be resistant.
"During your stay in the Wet Realm, which should last about ten days, just retreat and practice peacefully, no one will disturb you.
"Whenever you want to come in the future, you can come to train. Unfortunately, since youâre at a low rank, staying in the mine for too long can become a problem, otherwise living there would be fine."
Along the way, Wang Anhu said with a smile.
The cold in a mine area is too intense, unlike inside the city walls. Even for us fifth rank Martial Artists, we have to return to Earth for a short break now and then, let alone Su Yue, a second rank Martial Artist.
Ten days is already Su Yueâs limit.
Bai Xiaolong felt like he swallowed a lemon, a sour sensation he couldnât describe.
As expected, the treatment for sons of noble families is beyond envy.
Recalling my first time in the Wet Realm, it was a miserable experience.
I was scraping moss.
While Su Yue already has a dedicated training ground and pills from aliens.
I am envious.
"Captain, I want to kill alien races. Is there no chance if Iâm in the Sixth Camp?"
Su Yue asked, frowning.
He had realized this problem earlier.
Being in Cangyuanâs Sixth Camp, he was neither close to the villages nor the shops, not even having many alien attackers. If there were any, they were fifth ranks, sneaking in to attack, and with his strength, he obviously would just be cannon fodder.
But this wasnât the way things should be.
He came to the Wet Realm intending to infiltrate the Tree Banner Garrison Camp to steal the wooden planks of the Moon Nether True Scripture.
Staying in the mine area isnât a solution either.
"Haha, want to kill aliens, do you? Sure!
"When you break through to the fourth rank, reaching this personâs level, the brothers will allow you to go to the A zone battlefield."
Wang Anhu chuckled.
Bai Xiaolong felt utterly disheartened.
My name is Bai Xiaolong, not this person; Iâve introduced myself several times already.
Besides, it looks like the people of Cangyuanâs Sixth Camp are helping Su Yue level up.
Iâm really bummed out.
The enviable wring pain in my heart.
"Thatâs not right! Then Iâd end up becoming a Qi and Blood Martial Artist, I need the heads of aliens to cultivate courage and killing intent, I cannot just focus solely on cultivating Qi Blood."
