Whipping out his phone, he browsed through the news for a while.
There were reports about the Revival of Qi all over the internet.
Some country was attacked by Ferals, and some powerful Awakened had appeared to slay the Ferals and save the people.
Jiang He only fell asleep after browsing through the news for a while.
He woke up naturally.
After getting out of his sports car and washing up, Jiang He checked the time. It was not even eleven in the afternoon, and he was seriously lacking sleep quality.
After steaming some rice and cutting a piece of python meat, he made a salad of cucumber and carrot shreds and stir-fried an eggplant. Still, Jiang He found it tasteless. "This meal of mine is worth at least ten million, but it doesn't taste good at all …"
Sweeping away all the food on the table, Jiang He rubbed his temples as he considered the crux of the problem.
Firstly.
He was a little sick of eating this every day.
Secondly, and most importantly …
"It's the Sky Demon Cult's fault. They're like dogskin plaster that I can't shake off no matter what. Although I've killed two of their Decans and five Heavenly Generals, who knows if they'll stir up trouble again?"
"This group of beasts, they caused me to not be able to sleep well and eat well …"
Jiang He gritted his teeth.
Then, he became worried again when he saw the table full of bowls and chopsticks.
He really couldn't stand it without a maid to clean up after him.
Now that his quality of life had improved, he couldn't possibly do everything by himself, could he?
Clothes could be left unwashed and thrown away after wearing one set, but he couldn't just change the bowls and chopsticks every time he ate, could he?
He looked around his own kitchen …
It was even simpler.
There were only a few tables in the newly built mansion, with a simple stove on top.
"I should contact Wang Sizhen when I'm free and see how long the renovation will take. If push comes to shove, I could just slap this mansion down and plant another one …" Jiang He was planning his future life when a car horn could be heard outside.
He stepped out of his yard to find three cars parked one after another outside his house.
The first was a white CRV, the second had a military plate, while the third was an off-road vehicle. Jiang He recognized the car — it belonged to Mu Wanqiu.
"Jiang He!"
A burst of laughter could be heard.
Duan Tianhe stepped down from the white CRV and walked up to Jiang He with a smile. "Thanks for last night, Jiang He. I've transferred your merit points to your name, and by the way, the Warrior Home forums have started closed beta testing. I've had headquarters grant you access so that you can log in using your ID number, and I'll send you the website address later."
Jiang He said with a smile, before glancing at Duan Tianhe's car. "Chief Duan, did you change cars? I remember your previous car was a black MPV. "
The corner of Duan Tianhe's mouth twitched.
How could he not trade?
That car …
It was scrapped!
Chen Jingzhou's foot almost crushed it.
At this time, Cheng Dongfeng and Chen Jingzhou alighted from the military vehicle.
Mu Wanqiu got out of the jeep behind them as well.
Next to her was Wu Yueru, who was still dressed like an office lady.
"Haha … Jiang He!"
Chen Jingzhou laughed as soon as he opened his mouth. "I've heard of your great name before. Now that I've seen you in person, you are indeed a young hero. What a talented man!"
At the same time, Duan Tianhe quickly introduced Jiang He.
"Jiang He, this is Chen Jingzhou, commander of the Third Division of the Xibei Field Army. He is also a rank-nine martial arts grandmaster, and has come to reinforce Lingzhou City."
Jiang He walked up and shook Chen Jingzhou's hand, before greeting Mu Wanqiu and Wu Yueru. "My house has just been built and is a little crude. Please don't mind me, everyone," he said.
There were many stools in the house, and Jiang He brought out a few. After everyone sat down, Chen Jingzhou cut to the chase, saying, "Jiang He, I've heard about you from Chief Duan. Despite being a rank-six, you sacrificed yourself to ambush the Sky Demon Cult's elites and defended Lingzhou City, protecting hundreds of thousands of citizens. It's a great merit, and I've applied for a reward from the military …"
Jiang He quickly waved him off at the mention of 'reward', saying, "You're too kind, Commander Chen. I wasn't actually thinking that much at the time, but the main issue was that the Sky Demon Cult's vermin wouldn't leave me alone and kept targeting me, leaving me with no peace. That's why I had to fight back."
Chen Jingzhou understood that very well and nodded, saying, "The Sky Demon Cultists definitely deserve to die. Last night, they even mobilized a rank-nine elder, two rank-eight grandmasters, and an earth-type Awakened who could match rank-eight to stop me from helping Lingzhou City. If you hadn't stepped forward in the nick of time, Jiang He, Lingzhou City would have fallen."
Jiang He's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "The Sky Demon Cult also sent a rank-nine, two rank-eights, and an earth-type Awakened?"
"That's right."
Chen Jingzhou nodded, though there was a weird look on his face.
Why did it feel like …
There was something wrong with the brat's expression and tone.
Shouldn't you be panicking and worried after hearing the news?
Jiang He mused to himself for a while, feeling a little embarrassed and stammered for a while before saying, "Well … Commander Chen, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask."
"Just say it!"
Chen Jingzhou waved his hand grandly, appearing very forthright.
Jiang He clenched his teeth. "Commander Chen, may I ask … how powerful is the rank-nine elder of the Sky Demon Cult, and how could he kill a rank-nine martial artist?"
？？？
Chen Jingzhou's expression stiffened, unable to wrap his head around that question just then, and Jiang He blurted out, "Did you say Di Sa?"
Beside him, Duan Tianhe's face dropped and he could not help exclaiming, "You mustn't, Jiang He. Rank-nine elites are powerful in ability and spirit, and could even fuse martial will into their attacks. The best of them could even grasp the Boundary of Wills, and their every move imbues the might of the world. Even if you could kill Killer Star and Pain Star, you would definitely die against a rank-nine."
He knew Jiang He all too well!
The brat's question was definitely to kill the rank-nine martial artist of the Sky Demon Cult.
Jiang He, on the other hand, appeared utterly surprised and muttered, "Rank-nines are that powerful … it seems that I definitely can't beat them now."
There was a faint hint of disappointment in his tone.
After a few more exchanges, Chen Jingzhou rose to his feet and said, "I won't disturb you since you're busy with military affairs. Jiang He, your commendation would be approved soon, and I'll personally deliver it to you when the time comes."
"You're being too polite, Commander Chen."
Jiang He was about to exchange pleasantries, but an idea occurred to him just as the words were about to leave his mouth, and he asked, "Commander Chen, could they give me some weapons and ammunition if the military insists on rewarding me?"
Back home, Dumbo and Trumbo had yet to mature.
Jiang He was a little worried about having them watch over the house.
Still, if the military could provide him with some more powerful weapons and ammunition, such as rocket launchers and gatling guns, he might be pleasantly surprised if he strengthened them with some Mysterious Soil.
Jiang He could even picture it in his head —
Dumbo carrying a rocket launcher and firing …
How much more powerful would a rocket launcher grow after it was strengthened?
"Hmmm …"
"I just don't know if rocket launchers, missiles, or cannons could be planted …"
