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

"Sorry, I'm late."

A man pushed open the door of the conference room and smiled apologetically at the three people in the room, saying, "I met a few students on the way and answered some of their questions about cultivation."

"As expected of the second-grade director, he is dedicated to his duties and worthy of our learning." A man in a blue T-shirt said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, a man and a woman beside them also laughed out loud.

"Deputy Captain, please stop teasing me." Xie Jianfeng smiled bitterly, closed the door, found a seat and sat down, and looked at the man in the lead, "Captain, why are you calling us to a meeting so late at night? Are you going to talk about tomorrow's inspection?"

“It’s not just this.”

The man called the captain smiled slightly.

If Jiang Cheng were here at this moment, he would be able to tell at once that this person was Yu Yang, the captain of Team 7 who called him last night.

"It's not just this?"

The other two people in the meeting room also looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes.

"There's a new member in our team."

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, and then the other three people became visibly excited.

"Really, Captain?"

The deputy captain in a blue T-shirt asked hurriedly, "Is the newcomer a man or a woman?"

"Deputy Captain, can you be serious?" The curly-haired woman sitting opposite rolled her eyes.

Isn't the strength of the newcomers more important than their gender?
"No wonder."

Xie Jianfeng suddenly realized.

Patrol missions like this usually take place once a week, and have become commonplace for the few of them.

Therefore, before every mission, it is not necessary to find a special meeting room and hold a meeting like this time. You can just make a phone call or send an email to notify them.

But it’s different when there are new people. Through this opportunity, they can have a certain understanding of the new people’s background.

"male."

Yu Yang took a look at the blue T-shirt, and the latter immediately looked disappointed.

"His strength is that of a first-level Grandmaster, and he just passed the assessment not long ago."

"He just passed the assessment not long ago?" The curly-haired woman was a little surprised. "So, this is his first mission?"

"good."

Yu Yang nodded.

"He's a real newbie."

Xie Jianfeng's brows also furrowed.

This means that if an emergency occurs, this newcomer will not be able to help them and may even hinder them.

"Captain, can you provide more specific information? For example, does he have any background?" asked the man in the blue T-shirt.

"He probably doesn't have any background. His situation is quite special. He only entered the City of Hope from outside more than two months ago, and then passed the assessment a week ago and became a resistance fighter."

"Is it from outside?"

"Is it credible?"

The man in the blue T-shirt and the woman with curly hair were both a little suspicious.

No matter how you look at it, there seems to be a hint of conspiracy.
This kind of thing has happened in the past and caused quite a bit of trouble to the city, but in recent years, people have become more and more vigilant and this kind of thing has stopped happening.

As Xie Jianfeng listened, a figure appeared in his mind.

Could it be that person?

His intuition told him that it shouldn't be the case, but some of the details matched.

"Oh, Jianfeng, I wonder if you know this person." Yu Yang looked at the person in front with a smile.

"Before taking the test, he had been working in the Alchemy Department of the Academy, in charge of alchemy work."

"Jiangcheng!"

Xie Jianfeng blurted out.

Yu Yang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Yes, it's him, it seems you know him."

Xie Jianfeng was completely stunned.

It’s not that he knows this person, but he is very familiar with this person’s name. Not only that, he was at the scene when the incident happened!
"He is an alchemist?"

However, the faces of the woman in the blue T-shirt and the curly-haired woman nearby both became solemn.

If it was a complete newcomer, they would at most complain a few words. After all, who among those present didn’t start out as a newcomer?

However, this pure newcomer is actually an alchemist...

Simply speechless.

Why would an alchemist run to the front line of battle instead of staying in the alchemy room?

If it is for some alchemy materials, you can just post a bounty mission, and naturally someone will take it and go out to bring back the materials.

"Yes."

Yu Yang had anticipated this scene.

After all, that was his reaction at the time, not to mention the rest of the team.

"He is an eleventh-level alchemist. His alchemy skills are very high. He should be one of the best in the academy. Jianfeng should be able to testify to this."

Hearing this, the two of them looked at Xie Jianfeng.

"Yes, his alchemy skills are indeed amazing. The top-grade Awakening Pills we exchanged from the Logistics Department in the past two months were all made by him. If any of you buy top-grade Awakening Pills from the base, it is likely that they were also made by him."

The two looked at each other.

They did buy it, but not for daily practice, but to keep it just in case.

For example, when carrying out a mission, the rest time is limited, and the battle may break out at any time. At this time, it would be crucial to have a few top-level awakening pills to speed up the recovery of mental strength.

"It seems like this guy does have some skills," the curly-haired woman said.

"It's true that you have the ability, but..." Xie Jianfeng hesitated to speak.

"but what?"

"Jianfeng, why are you keeping us in suspense?"

"I'm not trying to keep you in suspense, but I just feel like it's a bit bad to say bad things about him behind his back," Xie Jianfeng smiled bitterly.

"Jianfeng, just tell me what you want to say." Yu Yang also said at this time: "We don't know much about him. You and he are both in the academy, so you must know more about him than we do. Just tell the truth."

"Don't worry, Captain. I will definitely tell the truth and will not make up something that does not exist."

Xie Jianfeng said hurriedly, then licked his lips and whispered: "This person's temper is a bit bad."

"Bad temper?"

"Yes, I still remember that it was more than a month ago. There was a weekly meeting. Principal Sun was there at the time. After hearing about his performance in alchemy, he hoped that he could refine more pills every day. The more he refined, the more contribution points he would get. It would benefit him, and we would have enough pills to exchange. For everyone, isn't it good?"

"really."

Including Yu Yang, the three people in the room nodded repeatedly.

It must be said that the number of high-level elixirs in the base is pitifully small, and many of them bought them at high prices from people who were out on missions.

Even so, those people may not be willing to sell.
