Chapter 501: If You Want to Wear the Crown, You Must Bear Its Weight

"Ahem... It's done, but something has changed."

Jiang Chen was the first to wake up from Cao Xiong's state. He stepped forward quickly and told Cao Xiong about his experience in the trial ground and the deal with Ye Cang.

"The Dark Servant... This method of doing things is indeed in line with his style, but it is surprising that it would attract the Shadow Realm."

Cao Xiong glanced at Ye Cang and said, "As for the deal with the Ye family, the teacher respects your choice, you can do it yourself."

"But if there is any emergency, please contact me at any time."

"I understand."

Jiang Chen's heart warmed. The teacher's words were not all for him, but more to warn Ye Cang not to play tricks.

Warning the Ye family, the pressure to bear is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

"General Cao, don't worry, our Ye family has always kept their promises."

Ye Cang also understood Cao Xiong's meaning and made a promise immediately.

If it was another A-level imperial envoy, the Ye family might not take it to heart, but if the person who said this was Cao Xiong, the meaning would be different.

Whether it is Cao Xiong's contribution to the Federation or Cao Xiong's current strength, it is enough for the Ye family to take Cao Xiong's words and deeds seriously.

Cao Xiong, who has recovered from his injuries, is enough to threaten any Sun-shining creature in the Federation!

"Yeah."

Cao Xiong nodded slightly, and his mental power swept over Jiang Chen, with a trace of relief in his eyes.

"It seems that you have indeed improved a lot in there, and you can start looking for a suitable fifth pet spirit."

"I will pay attention."

Jiang Chen understood, sniffed the blood in the air, and said: "Teacher, what's the matter with these evil spirits?"

"Nothing, just some speculators who ran over after noticing the opening of the trial land."

Cao Xiong said lightly: "After the trial land is opened, the surrounding barriers will be weakened. If you are lucky, you can enter it even if you don't have the trial qualification."

"Originally, I didn't want to care, but a few idiots provoked me, so I just killed them all."

Cao Xiong's tone was flat, as if he had just slapped a few flies to death, but it meant something completely different to others.

No wonder he is called a butcher, Cao Xiong is so murderous!

Ye Cang and the other three looked at each other, and then looked at Cao Xiong with more respect.

As for Mu Sensen, his eyes were even more strange.

Another key owner, are these people banding together?

"Oh my god, Jiang Chen, your teacher is so strong!"

Feeling the terrifying aura on Cao Xiong, Bai Xiaoyu was not afraid, but was eager to try.

If he could fight with such a strong man, he would definitely become stronger!

"It's really strong."

It's also very good to himself.

Jiang Chen didn't say the second half of the sentence, but just remembered it silently in his heart.

Although the teacher said it lightly, Jiang Chen understood that the teacher was trying to help him reduce the difficulty of the trial as much as possible.

No wonder he encountered so few evil spirits in the trial land, it seems that they were all stopped outside by the teacher.

"Okay, since your trial is over, I won't stay any longer."

Cao Xiong patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said, "You've been out for long enough, go back to the Federation and settle down."

"As for these evil spirits, you can deal with them yourself, sell them to Morning Star or the military."

After that, Cao Xiong walked to the palm of Yanyan Lingyuan and said, "I have some things to do next, and I may not be able to respond to your message in time. If there is anything urgent, you can contact Xiao Ling, he will help you."

"Okay, teacher, you be careful."

Jiang Chen didn't ask Cao Xiong where he was going. With Cao Xiong's strength, the tasks he was exposed to were not something he could participate in, and it was useless to ask more.

The most urgent task was to improve his strength as soon as possible so as to catch up with the pace of the teachers.

"Well, I'll go first."

Cao Xiong nodded slightly, and then he and Yanyan Lingyuan went deeper into the wilderness.

"Huh... finally left."

As Cao Xiong left, the pressure in everyone's hearts suddenly dissipated, and the patrol wind envoy directly opened the space channel and went in directly.

But before the passage was closed, the Wind Patrol suddenly popped up again and said, "I owe you a favor for this matter. I will pay it back to you next time we meet."

After saying that, the Wind Patrol ran back again.

"You owe me a favor? Have I helped him?"

Jiang Chen scratched his head in confusion, as if he had been playing tricks on the Wind Patrol from the beginning to the end, so how come it became a favor in his mouth.

Or is this guy speaking in a sarcastic way?

"Mu Sensen, where are you going next? Are you going back to the Federation with us?"

Jiang Chen stopped caring about the Wind Patrol and turned to look at Mu Sensen.

"Me? Forget it. I didn't get the Emerald Star this time, and Danggui will not be able to sleep again. I have to find something else to compensate him."

Mu Sensen shook his head and said, "If we are destined, we may meet in some forbidden place."

"Okay."

Jiang Chen shrugged. Mu Sensen's physique was special and he was indeed more suitable to stay in the wilderness.

"Let's go first. The bloody smell is too strong in this place. Danggui can't stand it."

Mu Sensen waved to Jiang Chen and walked away with Danggui in his arms.

"Jiang Chen, are you going back to Ye's company next?"

Bai Xiaoyu approached Jiang Chen and asked.

"Of course, I have to go back to Fortress 36 to hand in the task and complete the transaction by the way."

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at the pile of evil spirit corpses in front of him. A golden light appeared in his eyes.

The transaction must be completed, but before that, these evil spirit corpses must be dealt with first.

So many evil spirit corpses and life cores can be sold for a lot of money...

...

Fortress 36.

Cui Xu put away Jiang Chen's task report solemnly and saluted Jiang Chen.

"I will report your findings to the military leaders. Thank you for your efforts."

Jiang Chen immediately returned the gift and said solemnly, "It's just my job."

"I will settle the merits for this mission as soon as possible. If you have the resources to exchange, you can also go to the logistics department to exchange."

Speaking of this, Cui Xu smiled and said, "Maybe your rank will catch up with mine soon."

"Well...it may be really soon."

Jiang Chen scratched his head. The mission he accepted this time was to clear up, so as long as the evil spirit materials hunted in the wilderness can be exchanged for merits.

Of course, the military will also verify the source of these materials to avoid the situation where someone prepares materials in advance for exchange.

Of course, there is no way to avoid the review, but this kind of thing is meaningless.

The higher the rank, the heavier the task to be undertaken.

If someone relies on his good family background to come to the army to brush up his rank and get benefits, he must be mentally prepared to be sent to dangerous areas by the military.

In the army, those in high positions and power never hide behind to give orders, but always move in the most dangerous places!

Jiang Chen was also very clear about this.

Jiang Chen looked at the life core mountain in the palm of the universe, and strode towards the exchange office under the leadership of Cui Xu.

"Hello, I want to exchange merit."

"Okay, Captain Jiang, please put your life core on this... tray..."

The exchanger stared blankly at the life core mountain in front of him, and the formulaic sentence that he had said countless times suddenly couldn't be said.

Did Captain Jiang encounter a beast tide? How could there be so many life cores!

And from the light, it seems that there are many star-level life cores among them? !

"Fortunately, I didn't take out the moonlight life core, otherwise it would be really scary."

Looking at the soldiers gathering around, Jiang Chen suddenly felt fortunate.

Originally, he didn't want to be so high-profile, but without the discount of military rank, the third-stage farm facilities were really unaffordable.

So except for the moonlight-level life core, Jiang Chen took out almost all the life cores he harvested during this trip to the eastern wilderness.

Although it is a bit troublesome, after the merits are exchanged, you can use the discount of military rank to buy the life core you want again, which can save a lot of money.

Although this is suspected of fleecing the army, since the military has not made any restrictions on this, it means that such behavior is allowed to exist.

"Captain Jiang, you may need to wait for a while. The number here is really a bit..."

The exchanger was a little embarrassed, but Jiang Chen was not in a hurry. He waved his hand to signal them to do whatever they wanted.

"As expected of General Cao's disciple, you will really catch up with me after this wave of merits are exchanged."

Cui Xu was also very surprised by the life core that Jiang Chen took out, and couldn't help but patted Jiang Chen's shoulder hard.

"It is the luck of mankind to have a monster like you!"

"Colonel Cui, please don't praise me. I feel guilty."

Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly. This is not modesty, but really guilty.

"Hahaha... Don't be so modest. Not everyone dares to come to the military to exchange so many merits."

Cui Xu said with a hint of meaning, "General Cao has already informed me, you don't have to worry about anyone questioning this."

"But correspondingly, you may receive many military tasks in the future, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

"Thank you for reminding me, I know."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said.

Although I feel a little guilty about taking the teacher's achievements for free, I will come back later.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight.

Since Jiang Chen accepted the benefits provided by the military, he will naturally abide by the military's rules.

Anyway, this does not conflict with his dream.

"That's good, General Cao's vision is not wrong."

Cui Xu laughed loudly, and his eyes looking at Jiang Chen became more and more friendly.

Cao Xiong had already told him the source of these life cores, and he had no resistance.

The Federation is so big, there are always some children of big families who want to come to the army to gild themselves.

But the army treats everyone equally, and people of different ranks are assigned tasks according to their levels, without any mercy.

Although there are still many families who send their children here for training, most of them are still reluctant.

But he did not feel these emotions from Jiang Chen, but was sincerely willing to carry out these tasks.

He had no evidence, just pure intuition.

At the same time, it was also a kind of trust.

Trust in Cao Xiong. (End of this chapter)
