Cosmic Demon

Chapter 230 The Plowing Court Plan: Publicly Seeking Torture!

Tonight, all major transportation routes in the city center have been cleared. The radio station reported this news forty minutes ago.

Mo Zhenting arrived at the state guesthouse in a military aircraft and received the highest level of reception. Even the no-fly zone was opened, and he was escorted by several fighter jets from the Seventh Battle Group.

"Commander, we will be staying in Hengzhou for a month this time. Originally it was supposed to be about ten days, but a large-scale radio burst occurred during the voyage, causing considerable damage to the exterior of the warship."

Inside the military aircraft, Mo Zhenting, who had been resting with his eyes closed, listened quietly to his adjutant's report, his fingers tapping lightly. When he tapped the thirteenth time, he opened his eyes and said:
"Will this radio burst last for a month?"

"About eighteen days."

Mo Zhenting nodded and said:

"Then let's rest in place, with all soldiers taking turns to relieve each other, and each person will be given about four days of leave."

The young adjutant saluted, then stepped back to relay the order.

The senior officers of the Seventh Battle Group are younger than those of other battle groups, with the majority being graduates of the Southwest Union.

In recent years, the claim that the Seventh Group is the "Southwest Gang" has become increasingly widespread and accepted.

"Commander Mo, you have two meeting requests. One from the Governor's Office and the other from the Department of Education."

The illusory light and shadow dance and coalesce, forming the image of a youthful and beautiful young woman.

She was also wearing the battle group uniform, with white boots and a knee-length pencil skirt, paired with neat short hair covering her ears, making her look heroic and dashing.

This is an active consciousness belonging exclusively to the Seventh Battle Group, the division where Mo Zhenting is located, named "Hella".

"Let's meet with the representative from the Governor's Office first."

Mo Zhenting thought for two seconds before answering.

"Will the meeting with the Education Department be postponed or delayed?"

Hera asked.

"Postponed to..."

Mo Zhenting hesitated for a moment, then changed his words:
"Postponed."

Having served in the division headquarters for so long, his promotion to division commander was a certainty.

He is now the undisputed leader of the new generation in the Seventh Battle Group.

Mo Zhenting naturally understood the intricacies of the division's inquiries.

Postponing and delaying express two different attitudes.

The former means it's not suitable to meet at the moment, while the latter means there's no intention or need to meet.

"Ok."

Hera nodded.

Adjust the itinerary.

After waving away Hera, Mo Zhenting finally had some alone time.

He took off his hat and sat upright in the chair.

His gaze pierced through the porthole, fixed on the bustling metropolis he knew so well.

Compared to the Beidou star system, which is constantly plagued by small-scale conflicts, Hengzhou New Star, located in a remote area, exudes a long-lost atmosphere of peace.

"Hengzhou..."

Mo Zhenting's words were enigmatic.

He had just received the Golden Ear Shoulder Badge and was commended by the division headquarters as an example.

Without a doubt, he is a rising star in the Seventh Battle Group.

They were originally supposed to be stationed at Tianxuan, the second fortress in the Beidou Starfield.

However, Mo Zhenting received a last-minute message from the division headquarters about artificial radio telescopes and was assigned to Hengzhou to assist in the Great Expeditionary Movement.

"Could this be the division headquarters' assessment of me?"

Mo Zhenting pondered.

Commanding a division is a huge hurdle in one's military career.

If you cross that threshold, you may one day step into the military headquarters and become a galactic giant commanding an army group.

If you can't get over that, you'll have to stay at the division headquarters until retirement for the rest of your life.

There is no room for further progress.

Therefore, after receiving the medal, Mo Zhenting was very cautious in his words and actions.

Especially after arriving in Hengzhou, as a "triumphant return home," he was unwilling to be overly high-profile in anything.

"It is reasonable for a son to meet his father. However, the conversation between the future division commander and the director of education must be recorded."

Mo Zhenting shook his head.

Having gone through so much hardship to get to where I am today, I have to take this step no matter what.

The next day.

The Governor-General's car arrived at the State Guesthouse.

It was still Thai Jun who stepped forward.

The meeting between the two sides did not take place at the Governor's Mansion, but was instead attended by the Tai Jun himself at the State Guesthouse, which shows that he attaches great importance to Mo Zhenting, a general from Hengzhou.

"Commander Mo, let's sit down and talk."

The moment Tai Jun saw Mo Zhenting, he felt that the other party's mental strength was extremely strong, like some kind of rigid body, and no matter what pressure was applied, it would not change.

As the active consciousness that dominates Hengzhou, Taijun naturally emits mental fluctuations similar to a magnetic field, subtly intruding into the outside world.

But when he got close to Mo Zhenting and faced him face to face, Tai Jun found that his mental fluctuations were like waves crashing against an impenetrable wall, leaving no trace.

"Is Governor Feng still in seclusion? What a pity. As a junior member of the Seventh Battle Group, Zhenting originally wanted to pay a visit to his senior."

Mo Zhenting was quite polite and did not have the arrogant nature that was rumored to be associated with the Warband Generals.

Feng Wuyang served in the 7th Regiment and rose to the position of Chief of Staff of the division.

In terms of seniority, he should be called "Old Chief".

"The Governor-General worked tirelessly day and night for the Great Expansion Movement, sparing no effort."

Tai Jun remained expressionless, and used some linguistic artistry to slightly embellish Feng Wuyang's obsession with the national war on the Great Universe server.

"Commander Mo has come to Hengzhou Xinxing and taken on the important task of assisting in the defense. It is only right and proper that the Governor-General should receive him in person. However, he is indeed unable to do so and can only ask me to convey his regards."

Mo Zhenting waved his hand and laughed generously:
"Zhenting was assigned by the division headquarters to do his duty. Besides, Hengzhou is Zhenting's hometown. He couldn't be happier to do his part for his hometown, so there's no need to talk about hardship."

Governor Feng, however, has the vision to promote large-scale development across the entire region, mobilizing and gathering massive amounts of manpower and resources to seek development and a future for Hengzhou, which Zhenting admires!

The administrative stars' annual resources are partly funded by the central government in the capital and partly raised by themselves.

A large-scale, comprehensive development campaign consumed resources at an alarming rate.

This action is for the benefit of future generations and is not conducive to the evaluation of one's own achievements.

"The council of the capital has proposed a revitalization plan for the four alliance regions. If Hengzhou does not take initiative and seize the opportunity, how will it establish itself in the new Dongxia and shoulder the mission of the first line of defense in the future?"

Tai Jun spoke calmly and began to get to the point:
"In this defense effort, the 7th Battle Group's sergeant troops will hold the border between the western and eastern fronts and clear out any creatures that may form the 'Kuroshio'."

Mo Zhenting readily agreed. The army under his command was the Seventh Battle Group, named "Wind Scythe".

Their specialty is cleaning up the battlefield and using massive firepower coverage.

The corps was known for having the "fewest casualties and the worst rescue efforts."

Because they preferred to burn hostages and bandits together to ashes.

"In addition, the code name for this great pioneering movement has been decided."

Tai Jun raised his head and looked directly at Mo Zhenting:
"It was personally drafted by the Governor-General and is called the 'Ploughing Plan'."

……

……

"Got home."

Qin Shi arrived in the Tai'an metropolitan area several days later. This time, he arrived at the station late at night, avoiding many of the lively scenes that would have made him feel awkward.

"Senior sister, you go to the dojo first, I want to go home for a while."

Qin Shi carried the large and small bags and stuffed them into the trunk of the car.

"Okay. Within Tai'an, no one can harm you."

Yu Wei smiled serenely:
“Even if your master is not here, given your status, the inspection department should at least send three full-time fifth-level senior inspectors or front-line officers to protect you.”

Qin Shi chuckled, admitting that being a top-tier genius was indeed a great feeling.

He used to read online books where some third-rate authors embellished the experiences of the first generation of ten heroes, often writing about being hunted down by cultists from the Chaos faction.

In reality, almost all martial arts prodigies who reach that level have powerful combat forces acting as security personnel.

Unless one enjoys adventure or prefers to travel alone, it is difficult for them to be in mortal danger.

Such as now.

Qin Shi's spiritual power expanded, his greatly improved mental state, coupled with his life magnetic field, allowed him to easily spot several figures.

They are all experts who have entered their respective fields!
They were dressed in casual clothes; some looked like tourists, and some looked like staff.

"Deliver the items to the talent apartment."

Qin Shi said to the driver.

He habitually uses his life magnetic field to "scan".

It was discovered that this middle-aged driver with a receding hairline was also a hidden master of around level six.

"It's truly comprehensive protection from head to toe."

Qin Shi leaned back in the back seat, returning to the Tai'an metropolitan area from the central city, and he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Despite the fact that Taijun's countless sub-consciousnesses can provide people with various convenient life services.

But he would prefer his current lifestyle, with cool air flowing in through the lowered car windows, the roadside trees rushing past, the traffic swaying in streaks of light, and the lights of skyscrapers and billboards intertwining.

A private car took Qin Shi to the talent apartment. According to the standards, he should have moved to a detached villa area with a better and quieter environment.

However, because everything happened so fast, from the Inspection Department's "Operation Sword-Sharpening" to winning first place in the Hengzhou Top 100 Competition, Qin Shi had already made a public appearance in the Central City and become a top-tier genius before the procedures were even completed.

"This is for the eldest sister, and this is for the youngest. Then there's Xiao Zhou, Yuan Ge, Yu Ge, and the others..."

During the Qin Dynasty, gifts in large and small packages were categorized into various types.

From large mechanical war dogs equipped with basic firepower units to small nutrient solution packages.

The total expenses amounted to several hundred thousand dollars, but Holvin, a former secretary in the inspection department, reminded them that these could be accounted for through government bills.

Despite having traveled for several days, Qin Shi didn't feel tired. He washed up, changed into loose clothes, went to the living room, took out a few sealed bottles of energy liquid from the refrigerator, and used them as energy drinks, feeling his cells greedily absorb them to replenish some of the energy he had consumed.

Once his mind and body were in optimal condition, Qin Shi sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to multitask, practicing meditation and cultivating his body.

After jumping back and forth several times, his understanding of his field of expertise deepened, and the intense radiance surging through his body was like a sea, rising and surging with the rhythm of his breath.

During this process, all the body's limits resonate, like the gentle vibration of a brass pipe, cleansing the body and mind.

"Old Zhou has been at the professional level for quite some time now, but his field of energy has not yet fully solidified and remains at around level one. If I take that step, with continuous accumulation and understanding, I might be able to 'skip a level' directly."

Qin Shi vaguely sensed the opportunity. The sheer amount of things contained within him had created a powerful numerical value, but it also led to a serious problem that could not be ignored.

That's a lack of integration!
"Spanning two paths is indeed very difficult. It's not just about getting through, but about connecting, accommodating, and controlling them."

Qin Shi's spirit enters the inner realm and finds Super Xiao He, who has returned from mining, and raises questions.

In his case, how should this be resolved?

"Refine! Refine it to death!"

Super Little He said angrily:
"Your path has been too smooth, lacking strong opponents to whet your skills. When you fight others, you often rely on numerical superiority, which fails to bring out your potential."

My advice is either to find an invincible rival and get beaten up a lot, or to compete against a master from the previous generation and experience the feeling of being crushed.

Qin Shi's eyes showed suspicion. He always felt that Super Xiao He had been a bit emotional lately, and that he was just trying to get a beating by giving such advice.

"He Lanchan was like that back then. Otherwise, why do you think he always liked to be sarcastic and provoke his opponents during battles?"

Super Xiao He looked very serious.

Is being foul-mouthed a way to get a worse beating?

Qin Shi was skeptical, but after pondering it for a moment, he realized that what Super Xiao He said made sense.

Thanks to Lao Liang and Lao Zhang, he really didn't suffer any major setbacks.

There's no pressure when beating your peers, but fewer opportunities to beat the previous generation.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have confronted Yu Li directly and provoked him to fight."

Qin Shi felt a deep sense of regret once again. The only one who posed a significant threat to him was the champion of the junior group in the Star Cup, a rising star who was said to be the best among his peers.

The others, like Lao Zhou and Zhang Hai, are not quite up to par.

If you seek help from official experts, they will certainly not take it seriously due to their status and position.

As for the senior brothers and sisters of the Nanhuang Martial Arts Academy, they are indeed heavy-handed, but they lack suitable sparring partners who are pursuing a martial arts path.

"How about I place an order on [Kill Me] and see if there are any experts there?"

Qin Shi suddenly remembered the Dark Web application that he hadn't used in a long time.

He clicked on "Did you kill him?"

Place an order.

[Urgently seeking top-tier, highly skilled players; aggressive combat style and powerful fighting techniques preferred!]

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shi publicly wrote down his general information.

He's a hacked version; he can fabricate identities at will.

This time, since I placed the order as a customer and there was backend verification, it shouldn't be considered a phishing post.

……

……

"Interesting. In order to break through to the professional level, they've started actively seeking out torture."

Yinghuang, in the central city, opened her mobile phone, glanced at the "Hot Orders" section that was pinned to the top and had a high number of views, and shook her head with a smile:

"Old Li, do you have any promising new talents under your command? In their prime, the kind who stand out among the professional level."

Old Li frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded:
“I do know a few. Hengzhou is the first line of defense. In the past, there were many merchants and wanderers who did smuggling business, and even more illegal undocumented people who hired security guards. Many of them are stranded because of the blockade and are really worried about where to make a living.”

Yinghuang tapped her finger, accepted the order, and registered.

……

……

After seeing Tai Jun off, Mo Zhenting sat alone on the high building, immersed in cultivation. This future star of the Seventh Battle Group was actually capable of traversing both martial arts and spiritual energy paths.

The body's energy is refined and tempered, while the spirit surges like a blazing sun across the sky. The interplay of these two forces creates a terrifying aura that sends chills down your spine.

"Hella, is there anything unusual about the backstage monitoring?"

Mo Zhenting raised his eyebrows, slowly opened his eyes, and a blinding light flashed, like lightning striking the sky, displaying his powerful cultivation.

"Yes, Commander Mo. The 'young spark' you're focusing on has apparently logged into the [dark web] and placed an order."

Hera appeared instantly, as if she were always ready to be commanded.

If we're talking about the central city, where can we avoid Taijun's gaze?

That's probably the state guesthouse where Hera is staying.

Both are active conscious entities.

Hera, who belongs to the 7th Division Headquarters, has the authority to block all of Taijun's spying methods.

"Ah."

Mo Zhenting glanced at it twice, without revealing much emotion, and simply said:
"The Tai'an metropolitan area is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Aren't Deputy Commander Song and the others on vacation? Why don't we let them go there for a visit?"
