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

The next day.

Jiang Cheng called Xu Juan and informed her that he would be going on a mission the day after tomorrow.

Xu Juan's reaction was very calm, but she still gave Jiang Cheng a chance, saying that it was not too late to give up now.

Jiang Cheng smiled and thanked the other party for his kindness.

After all, once something is said, it cannot be taken back. Moreover, Yu Yang called him last night. If he stood him up, how would he meet with the people from Team 7 in the base in the future?

Xu Juan didn't say anything else and just asked him to talk to Ma Ming.

"Take a day off? No problem."

In the director's office, Ma Ming heard Jiang Cheng's words and agreed without hesitation. Isn't it just one day less of refining pills? As the head of the alchemy department, he still has this little power.

"Thank you, Director. However, I may have to take a day off every week from now on."

"Do I need to take a day off every week from now on?"

Hearing this, Ma Ming looked embarrassed.

"Director Jiang, it's not that I disagree, but you're asking for four days off a month, which is really too much. How about two days less?"

"Director, the reason I need to take leave is because I have to go on a mission."

Jiang Cheng explained: "A few days ago, I passed the assessment of the resistance fighter. Now I am a resistance fighter, so I have to take one day every week to patrol the tunnel."

"Anti-Resistance fighters?"

Ma Ming opened his mouth wide and stared at Jiang Cheng in shock.

"Director Jiang, you, you are a resistance fighter?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly.

The look in Ma Ming's eyes suddenly became complicated.

In addition to the initial shock, there was also envy, admiration, etc.

To be honest, he had once taken part in an assessment to become a resistance fighter. Unfortunately, although he had reached that level, his actual combat performance was horrible.

And Jiangcheng is now...

"Okay, I understand. How about Principal Xu?"

"Well, Principal Xu also agreed."

"As long as you agree, I definitely agree." Ma Ming nodded repeatedly, then walked up and patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder, "Director Jiang, thank you for your hard work, but you must be more careful."

"I'll take note, Director."

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Then I will go to the alchemy room to make the elixir."

"Go."

Ma Ming waved his hand and watched Jiang Cheng leave. Then, he walked to his seat silently. After sitting down, he said to himself, "It's true that heroes emerge from youth."

At night, Old Qin heard from somewhere that Jiang Cheng was going to carry out a mission, and rushed over.

However, he did not say it directly in front of Mrs. Chen and others. Instead, he asked about it while taking a walk after dinner.

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Meet at the gate of the base at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will be with the team then."

After hearing this, Mr. Qin showed a look of worry on his face.

Area 15-20 is a bit dangerous. Even if he goes there, there is a possibility of death.

Jiang Cheng saw his worry and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, have you forgotten that I still have a sixth-grade treasure on me?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten."

Old Qin glanced at him unhappily, "Boy, do you really think you can rest easy with that treasure? If you really encounter danger, you must be able to react and use it in time."

"I'll pay more attention, Mr. Qin." Jiang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He felt that the base would not randomly assign tasks, including Yu Yang, and it was impossible for him to lie. Since there were so many inspections in the past, nothing dangerous had happened, so it was highly likely that nothing would happen this time. Of course, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. If you inspect too much, it is hard to say.

Fortunately, his strength is constantly improving due to the virtual combat system.

"Well, take this with you."

As Old Qin spoke, he took out a palm-sized jade talisman from his body. On the surface of the jade talisman, there was a depiction of a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, bathed in thunder.

"Is this, the Thunder Dragon Talisman?"

Jiang Cheng recognized it at a glance.

This treasure was the fifth-grade intermediate treasure, the Thunder Dragon Talisman, which was collected from Gu Changlin.

After using it, one can instantly kill a Grandmaster below level five. Even a Grandmaster at level five can be killed with one strike if the opportunity arises.

"Yeah, I'm not on a mission right now anyway, so this thing won't be of any use if I keep it on me. The treasure on you can only be used for defense. What if you run into danger and the enemy is relentless, causing you to use up all the Force crystals? With this thing, you can fight back."

"This……"

To be honest, Jiang Cheng was a little tempted.

What’s more, what Mr. Qin said also makes sense.

"Take it."

Old Qin stuffed the Thunder Dragon Talisman into his hand, and said with a bit of pain: "Remember, I'm just lending it to you. You have to return it when you come back from this mission."

"know."

Jiang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't say it wasn't a loan.

But I was still very moved in my heart.

After all, not everyone can achieve what Mr. Qin has done.

"Mr. Qin, if you go out on a mission and I don't have any, I can lend you the defensive treasure I have."

"Really?"

When Mr. Qin heard this, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Then there is still a holiday?"

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "I don't know the principle of giving a peach in return for a plum."

"I knew I was right about you, kid!"

Old Qin patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder hard.

Even though he seemed very generous in stuffing the things in, he was actually struggling inside.

If something happened in Jiangcheng, the Thunder Dragon Talisman would definitely be gone, and all the characters would be lost, so he would suffer a huge loss.

But after much thought, I made this decision.

"correct."

He thought of something and said with a bit of pain: "Use it sparingly, don't use it all up at once."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. We are going to investigate, not to fight. If we really encounter a strong enemy, we will avoid it. I will not use this Thunder Dragon Talisman unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Ahem, I know. I'm just reminding you." Old Qin coughed twice, then whispered, "Boy, do you know that a big thing happened in our base a few days ago?"

"What's the big deal?" Jiang Cheng immediately pricked up his ears when he heard that.

"Someone has succeeded in his first challenge to the Great Leader!"

Old Qin's tone was full of envy: "If you succeed in challenging the great leader, you can freely choose a Zhenwu. Zhenwu, at the Grandmaster stage, if you get a Zhenwu, basically, you don't have to worry about the secret martial arts later. Moreover, that is the Zhenwu given by the Supreme, which is much stronger than the ordinary Zhenwu. I don't know which guy has such good luck."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng thought to himself, the guy you are talking about is both far away and right in front of you.
