Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

"These two or three days are mainly used to avoid some emergencies. Besides, we can't travel at night in the deep mountains. That's why we have to rest here for a night instead of setting off now."

Chu Feng explained.

"I see. The leader is very thoughtful."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

It is already three or four in the afternoon. We took an off-road vehicle to the foot of the mountain, just as night fell...

It would be better to rest here and let Grandma Chen Sao and the others have a good rest.

"Chief, let's use the second method. I'll carry one on my back and hold Xiaoyue in my arms as we continue our journey. The main reason is that she is not very familiar with Old Qin, so maybe..."

"It's not a big deal, just make your decision." Chu Feng smiled, "That's all I have to tell you, do you have any questions? If you have any, you can ask me directly."

"Well, not yet." Jiang Cheng shook his head when he heard it.

It’s not too late to learn about the base’s situation after you arrive.

For now, let’s finish this section of the journey first.

"It's okay. You can ask me later. Okay, it's getting late. You should go back and have a rest. I'll have someone bring dinner to you when it's ready."

"Excuse me, Chief."

"fine."

After saying goodbye to the three people, Jiang Cheng returned to the next room and told them what had just happened.

Lin Yue lowered her head when she heard that, her face as red as an apple.

The old man and Mrs. Chen smiled knowingly.

Jiang Cheng knew what the two meant and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had always treated Lin Yue as his sister and had no other thoughts even when there was some physical contact. This time, he had no choice, after all, Lin Yue had barely reached the standard of a first-level Force warrior.

There is a gap between a first-level Force warrior and an ordinary person, but it is not as big as imagined. Trekking alone in the deep mountains and forests, the speed cannot be very fast.

"By the way, Xiaoyue, this is for you."

Jiang Cheng took out the Yuehua Pendant from his body.

"Brother Jiang Cheng, what is this?"

Lin Yue looked up and saw that it was a jade pendant, and she couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

Mrs. Chen and the other two were visibly happy, but as they listened, they felt they didn't understand anything.

"This is a treasure that can speed up the recovery of mental power. Don't you always feel that your mental power is not enough and that meditation is slow to recover? With this, the speed of mental power recovery will be much faster. Once you become proficient, it may be two or three times faster."

Hearing this, Lin Yue's face turned red. It turned out that she was overthinking, and her voice began to stutter.

"Jiang, Brother Jiang Cheng, this precious thing should be kept for yourself, right? You need it more than I do."

"I've got something better."

Jiang Cheng smiled and put the Yuehua Pei into her hands.

The main thing is that he has this thing, so it's just sitting there. He can sell it to the organization, but there's no need to, after all, the market price is only 200 million.

It would be better to give it to someone around him. Lin Yue is stronger and he can worry less.

"Remember to drop a drop of blood on it. This way, you can use it completely. By the way, when you get to the base, don't show it to anyone or mention it to anyone, understand?"

"Okay, okay."

Lin Yue held the jade pendant tightly in her hand.

Although Jiang Cheng didn't explain in detail, she could feel that this thing must be very valuable.

Time passed, more than an hour passed, and dusk fell.

In the inner city area, Gao Ling looked at the sky, secretly puzzled.

It was strange. It was almost dark. Why hadn't Changlin and the others returned yet? He still remembered that when they set out this morning, Gu Changlin had said that he would bring people back at three or four in the afternoon. But now, it was almost five o'clock.

"Did he have so much fun that he forgot the time? Or is he already on his way back?"

Gao Ling guessed secretly.

Suddenly I felt that instead of making random guesses here, it would be better to give them a phone call and find out clearly.

Just do it.

He turned on the light computer and sent a communication request to Gu Changlin.

However, the next second, a prompt appeared on the screen that the user had turned off his phone and could not be contacted.

"Shut down?"

Gao Ling immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because no matter how busy Gu Changlin is, he will not turn off his phone. At most, he will ask him to leave a message, and after he sees it, he will contact him in return.

As for the reason of lack of power, it is even more impossible. The optical computer, like the combat suit and mecha, can automatically absorb the surrounding light source for charging. Unless it is absolute darkness, it can be charged even at night.

Unwilling to give up, he initiated communication again, but the result was the same.

"Did something happen? That's impossible."

He frowned.

This was in the inner city area. Even though there were some evil cults and rebel groups causing trouble from time to time, it was simply wishful thinking to do anything to Gu Changlin, the eldest son of the Gu family.

"What went wrong? Oh, isn't Jiang Cheng with him? I can find out if I contact him. It's unlikely that I can't contact him, right?"

Gao Ling initiated a communication request again, but the result was the same. The message on the screen indicated that the other party's device was turned off and could not be contacted.

He suddenly opened his mouth, with a bad feeling.

Reluctant to give up, he tried to call Jiang Cheng's cell phone again.

Unfortunately, the sound coming from the phone was still the other party's phone being turned off.

After all, Jiang Cheng is not stupid. Even if his phone is turned on, he will not answer the call. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be located?
In fact, this is true. Before Gao Ling made this call, Gu Changkong and the alchemists in the outer city area had made countless calls, just to use satellite positioning.

"Damn it! What's going on? Why can't I contact anyone?" Gao Ling's brows furrowed even more.

Just then, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the office, and then someone knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."

A voice sounded.

"Director, someone is coming from headquarters."

"what!"

Gao Ling was startled and quickly got up to open the door, only to see several men in black suits standing at the door with briefcases.

"Are you Gao Ling, the person in charge of the alchemy department?"

The leader asked, feeling as if he was looking at people through his nose.

"It's me! It's me."

Gao Ling nodded and bowed.

"Well, from now on, all departments here belong to the headquarters. From now on, the Alchemy Department will also be under our charge. You take out all the account books and we will check them. If there are any problems, you must also give a reasonable explanation."

"what?"

Gao Ling suddenly raised his head, with disbelief in his eyes.

"Everyone, you may have made a mistake. Our alchemy department is managed by Young Master Gu Changlin. Without his permission, no one can look at our account books." (End of this chapter)
