After finishing their cold drinks and resting for a while, Silin and the others bade farewell to Ashorie. Ashorie even gave Tang Qiuqiu two boxes of biscuits and a discount card so that she could visit again in the future.
After leaving the dessert shop, Silin launched his hoverboard. Before this, Udoze wasn't familiar with hoverboards. After all, there were just too few places on Planet Acerella that were suitable for hoverboards, and Wind City was a place where sandstorms often filled the sky. Riding on a hoverboard was a suicide mission. Therefore, to Udoze, he had never touched a hoverboard before he left Acerella Sector. However, since he had good balance and learned quickly, it didn't take long for him to get used to it.
Likrabe, on the other hand, often came into contact with hoverboards before he arrived at Acerella, so it wasn't much of a problem for him.
After activating the hoverboard, the group flew up to the hoverboard passage and headed towards Vanguard's liaison department.
The liaison departments of the four major Hunter regiments were located in four different locations on the planet. They were practically the dominant forces in these four areas. Around these four liaison departments, there were also some smaller Hunter regiments that had a good relationship with the Hunter regiments' liaison department.
The communication department of the Vanguard Hunter Group had a projection of the dagger-shaped emblem floating in the air, indicating the direction and distance. There were also some other Hunter Group AI road signs around, but compared to Vanguard's AI guidance, they were much smaller. This was the advantage of a large group.
There was no need to search the map or ask around. They could easily find the magnificent building by following the AI's directions.
The building could be seen from afar. It was roughly shaped like a dagger, just like the Hunter Regiment's insignia. There were also a few low-rise buildings around it that were used for other matters.
Tang Qiuqiu took out her own insignia, and Silin did the same with his vice commander's insignia. This was a common practice. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if they were accidentally injured.
When the two of them took out their insignia, the expressions of the people around them softened a little, but it was mixed with curiosity. After all, Tang Qiuqiu was too young as an official member, and Silin was too young as a B Squadron's vice commander. The crowd couldn't help but express their suspicions.
There was a reception desk in the middle of the lobby on the first floor of the Vanguard Liaison Department. The lobby was filled with Hunters, and most of them had the Vanguard insignia on them.
When Cillin and the others walked in, no one paid any attention to them at first. But later on, someone inadvertently caught a glimpse of the emblem on Tang Qiuqiu and Cillin's body, and gradually began to whisper to each other. Although it was a 'whisper', their voices weren't exactly soft. Even in a noisy environment, people ten meters away could hear them.
These people directly voiced out their suspicions. However, when they saw that it was the Sixth Division, they had a strange look in their eyes. After all, the Sixth Division had been in the limelight a while ago. The reward for the home team had already been announced. Although some people were not convinced, they could not say anything about the final reward for the home team.
They didn't say it out in the open, but they didn't have to be so taboo in private. As long as there weren't any big shots from the home team present, they could say whatever they wanted. At most, they would just fight. If you win, fine, you're capable, I'm convinced. If you lose, I'm sorry, I just don't like you. I'll beat you up every time I see you.
The higher-ups of Vanguard only thought of the squabbles between the B Squadrons as nothing more than squabbles between the B Squadrons. Squabbling was healthier, and competition promoted progress. Therefore, as long as it wasn't too big of a ruckus, they would turn a blind eye to it. This was especially true for the B Squadron leaders who had promised their own squad members that as long as they won, they would bear all the consequences!
As a result, there were a lot of people in the hall who couldn't stand the sight of Cillin's vice commander badge no matter how they looked at it. A couple of people who had vice commander badges from other squads were even rubbing their palms together: Motherfucker, it took me more than a dozen years to climb up to this position. How is this stupid kid worthy of this badge?
As they thought about it, some people walked up to them. They didn't hide their thoughts on their faces. They might be smiling, but their smiles were asking for a beating no matter how you looked at them.
"Yo, why is there a little girl here? Little girl, you're at least ten years old, aren't you?" A brawny man more than two meters tall said loudly as he walked towards them.
Beside him was a slightly shorter person who also looked difficult to deal with. He was twirling a boomerang in his hand with great vigor.
When he saw that Silin and the others were ignoring him and continuing to advance, the brawny man pursed his lips and swept a disdainful glance at Silin and the others. Then, he rolled his eyes and took out a big lollipop. He said, "Little girl, here's something delicious for you. Do you want this …"
Bang!
The brawny man's words came to an abrupt halt.
The people who were about to laugh out loud heard the brawny man's words suddenly froze in their throats.
The big lollipop that was originally in the brawny man's hand had snapped from the spot where the brawny man's fingers were gripping. The brawny man's fingers weren't harmed at all, and the lollipop with the lollipop was thrown high into the air by the force of the snap. It spun towards Tang Qiuqiu and finally landed accurately on Tang Qiuqiu's hand. The bullet finally shot into the trash bin in the corner and didn't hurt anyone else.
Tang Qiuqiu held the lollipop in her hand, tore open the wrapper, and stuck her head out to lick it. She smacked her lips and commented, "It tastes pretty good!"
This … this is really just a ten-year-old girl?! Many people were shocked by this scene.
First, this little girl actually dared to open fire in the lobby of Vanguard? They had never seen anyone who dared to do something like this before. Even if they had heard of a few cases, this was definitely not a bad example. Furthermore, not everyone dared to act so recklessly. If something happened, it would implicate the vice-captain.
The people in Vanguard could fight and settle things on the spot. They could also compete in marksmanship, but most of them would go to the shooting range of the liaison department. But for a person who didn't even have the rank of vice-captain to open fire in a place like the first-floor lobby without even thinking, where did she get the courage to do so?
And with so many people present, not a single one of them felt a murderous aura. No, they didn't even feel the aura locking onto them in the instant before the shot was fired.
Second, this little girl's marksmanship was too good. Not only did she break the stick, but she also didn't hurt anyone else. In the end, she was able to shoot into the trash bin. Such marksmanship was indeed very good. Furthermore, after shooting the stick, she was able to let the lollipop fall into her hands. Not only did she intimidate the other party, but she also received her own benefits. It had to be said that this move was quite beautiful.
Third, and also what many people were conflicted about. Tang Qiuqiu's bullet ricocheted! This meant that the bullet bounced off the target after a few ricochets. Such a small child could actually shoot a ricocheted bullet so easily. What a strike!
Tang Qiuqiu couldn't achieve the effect she wanted by shooting in a straight line. Even if she could shoot in a curve, the curve was very limited and still not enough to meet her needs. So in the end, Tang Qiuqiu chose to shoot a ricocheted bullet. According to what Silin had said before, in the Vanguard's liaison department, the building materials would definitely be different. After walking into the hall and observing the situation here, she had some thoughts.
Not bad. She shot a ricocheted bullet and got a lollipop. Tang Qiuqiu was very satisfied.
In fact, in addition to the amazement of the surrounding people, Udoze and Likrabe were even more amazed. The Tang Qiuqiu that they usually saw was just an ordinary little sister. She would complain, be a little awkward, and be as excited as other children when she saw new things around her. She was just a little girl who liked to eat sweets. But now it seemed that those who could match that emblem were not ordinary people, even if she was a little girl about ten years old.
"Thank you, uncle!" Tang Qiuqiu did not forget to express her gratitude after licking the Bang Bang Tang. This was purely a polite formula. She did not really mean to thank him, but no one cared about this.
"Haha, it seems that I have underestimated you. No wonder you can become an official member at such a young age. Very good!" The brawny man was stunned for a moment before he laughed. He no longer looked down on them and continued to walk toward Silin's group.
The person next to the brawny man walked directly in front of Likrabe and glanced up and down at Likrabe. From the beginning, he could not bear to see Likrabe like this. Are you trying to act cool?
The person spun the boomerang in one hand and patted Likrabe with the other. He said with a fake smile, "But this person doesn't seem to have an emblem. Could it be that he is not a member of Vanguard? Sigh, don't be discouraged. Although a little girl who is so much younger than you is also very capable, don't be too discouraged. "
The person patted Likrabe's shoulder a little hard, and it made a loud sound. However, Likrabe stood firmly and did not move a single step.
Seeing that Likrabe was able to withstand such a force, the person was about to praise him. However, when he saw that Likrabe was still too lazy to care about him, he suddenly became angry again. He put more force on Likrabe's shoulder and said, "You are a new reserve member, right? When you see a senior, you should know the necessary manners of a Hunter! "
Silin curled his lips. What was the necessary manners of a Hunter? In summary, it could be summed up in four words — the strong are respected!
Although the brawny man looked much stronger than the person, in fact, in terms of strength, the brawny man was definitely no match for the person. Many people's first impression of the person was that he was an agile type, but the truth was that the person was a strength-type. Therefore, people were already certain that Likrabe could withstand the person's strength just now. However, they did not mind watching Likrabe's reaction after the person increased his strength.
The reality was out of everyone's expectations. Likrabe did not have any reaction at all. Even his expression did not change. The one who had a reaction was that person.
The person's hand on Likrabe's shoulder began to expand rapidly. What was clearly a strong and well-defined palm became a big, meaty palm that was thicker than a bear's paw in a few seconds. The five fingers were no longer what they used to be, and the meaty palm looked very comical. Most importantly, the person did not feel any pain at all. The nerves in the hand seemed to have become numb, or the nerve conduction was blocked, and it could not transmit the real feeling of the changes in the palm to the brain.
The change in the palm was just the beginning. As the palm expanded, slowly, the wrist also began to thicken, and then the arm, as if there was an inflator pumping air into it. When the swelling expanded to the shoulder, the person gradually lost control of the arm, and it drooped down powerlessly.
Seeing such a scene, the surrounding people unconsciously touched their own arms, feeling the state of their arms, for fear that such a thing would happen to them.
"Hey, kid!"
The brawny man took a big step towards Likrabe, but was stopped by Silin's hand. The brawny man wanted to push away Silin's hand in front of him, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not move the hand at all. The brawny man knew that this time he had really met a tough opponent. A person who could wear the vice-captain's emblem was definitely not weak. Another thing he learned today was that whether or not he could have the emblem of an official member, and whether or not he could hold the position of vice-captain, had nothing to do with age.
Taking a deep breath, the brawny man looked up at Silin, and saw that the young vice-captain still had a faint smile on his face. It could not be considered distant, nor could it be considered friendly. The good thing was that there was no malice or disgust towards their provocation. This was a good sign for the brawny man.
"Brother, this time we made a mistake. It was our fault, sorry. I hope you can help solve this, cough, my brother's problem. "
Silin looked at Likrabe, and Likrabe shrugged. "It's okay, it will be fine in a while. It won't affect his body."
Silin turned back to the brawny man and said, "Then it's not a big problem, it's just a small prank. Don't worry. "
Don't worry? Don't worry my ass! If your hand was in such a state, would you still be able to keep a straight face? The brawny man and the other person felt bitter in their hearts. Was there such a prank? If they saw this guy in the future, they would definitely run as far away as possible.
However, for Silin, he had seen people with swollen arms who still had a playful appearance. For example … Andriera's eldest son, Lung.
Indeed, as Likrabe said, the swelling of the man's hand was limited to his shoulder and arm. After two minutes, the swelling began to slowly subside, and after five minutes, it had returned to its original shape. Although there were still some wrinkles on the skin, they would soon disappear.
The man turned over his hand and looked at Likrabe with a strange expression. "You can't be one of those high achievers who specializes in this area, right?"
Seeing that the man's attitude did not have the resentment of the small eyes, but was rather calm, Likrabe did not put on a face and smiled. "No, I haven't even received intermediate education."
That was even more terrifying! Everyone thought. To be able to reach such a level by relying on himself without even receiving intermediate education, he was either a genius or a freak. Wouldn't he be even more powerful if he received higher education in the future? Or if he didn't receive higher education, he might even be able to publish some results in electronic pharmacology journals with high contribution points if he continued to ponder.
It seemed that the people from the Sixth Division were quite capable! How did the Sixth Division manage to find such a talent?
Just when everyone was thinking about it, a woman in her twenties who had been watching the show from the front desk smiled and walked over. Her perky buttocks that were wrapped in a short skirt swayed rhythmically with her steps. However, when the other hunters saw this woman, they quickly looked away and started to talk about a random topic. It seemed as if they did not notice what was happening here at all.
The burly man and his companions smiled awkwardly and ran away. Before they ran, they mouthed, "Be careful!"
It seemed that this woman had a special status here and would not be easy to deal with.
However, contrary to what everyone thought, the woman who walked over said with a warm smile, "You are Silin, Wheeze, Tang Qiuqiu, Likrabe, and Udoze, right? Senior Bart just told me to treat you well. The restaurant has already prepared your meals. If there's anything else you need, feel free to ask. I'll bring you there. "After saying that, she made a 'please' gesture.
The behavior of the female boss on the first floor of the Liaison Department, who looked like a beauty from afar but was actually a ferocious bandit, made everyone's jaws drop. Since when did this female bandit become so polite?
Someone counted with his fingers. The female boss had mentioned five names, so there were only four people in the group. Where was the last one?
In fact, Huimao was sleepy after drinking his fill at the dessert shop. He had been sleeping on Silin's shoulder. As long as it wasn't a big deal, he wouldn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
Silin felt that this woman was quite interesting. Even though she said that Senior Bart had informed them in advance, she still watched the people around them provoke them and only came out after watching the show. As expected, this was how hunters dealt with each other.
The woman glanced at Huimao, who was sleeping on Silin's shoulder, and said with a smile, "We've specially prepared some fish. There's steamed, fried, boiled, fried, and braised …"
Yes, fish was a big deal. Therefore, Huimao's ears caught the right keywords. He slowly woke up, stretched, and yawned. "I'm hungry. Let's go eat."
The woman covered her mouth and laughed. She said to Huimao, "How does Wheeze feel about this place?"
"Feel?" Scratching his ear, Huimao said lazily, "I don't know. I'm asleep."
Everyone: "…"
As expected, he was completely ignored.
After the woman brought Silin and the others to the restaurant, she was pulled by someone when she came out. The person asked carefully, "Hey, Boss, who are those people?"
Even the first floor's boss didn't have to be so polite to the team leader.
The woman shrugged helplessly. "I can't help it. Senior Bart has personally told me to treat them well. I can't cause too much trouble."
The person who had come came to a realization. So it was Senior Bart. No wonder Boss didn't cause any trouble today. He just watched the show.
Speaking of which, after Silin quickly finished his food, he requested to speak to the people in the Sixth Division. The person in charge of communication was clearly prepared.
He directly contacted the main control room of the Sixth Division and told Shotton that he had returned with two recommendations. Shotton was obviously very happy. However, there was still some worry in Silin's eyes, so he asked Silin to meet up with them as soon as possible. There were important matters to discuss.
After ending the call with Shotton, Silin thought about the worried look in Shotton's eyes. It was clearly related to the mission that Bart had mentioned. After thinking for a while, Silin contacted the control room of his team's starship.
When the call was connected, the first thing that appeared was Kari's big face.
"Silin, I've missed you so much! No, let's do it again. Vice-captain Silin, we've missed you so much! "
Cillin had the urge to kick him right now.
Before Silin could say anything, Kari continued to speak excitedly, "And my dear Wheeze, cute Qiuqiu, I've missed you so much!"
Someone was squeezing Cary from the side, and it was Xiao Shang's voice. Dough took the opportunity to jump in front of the communicator, but was flung away by Cary by the tail. It clung to the entire communicator panel and refused to budge. He continued to shout excitedly, "Qiuqiu, your eggs have hatched!"
"Really?!" Tang Qiuqiu's face was almost completely covered by the communicator. She couldn't wait.
