The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

After Su Qiong finished speaking, the air was slightly quiet for a moment.

Then, she turned her head and looked into Gu Xu's eyes: "I don't mean anything by it, but the Calamity Army will be gathering the nation's elite reserves, and I'm afraid I won't be able to lead the troops out to you in a short time."

What she said was true; after all, the attributes of the Calamity Army and other legions were completely incomparable.

If the main task of other units is to guard Shenxia and protect high-risk secret realms.

The Calamity Army's attribute is to sweep through high-risk secret realms.

Although these two tasks seem similar on the surface, their actual difficulty levels are worlds apart. One is a strategic defense, while the other is an offensive operation.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu put away his usual carefree attitude.

He looked at Su Qiong, remained silent for two seconds, and then called out with utmost seriousness, "Sister."

The word "sister" made Su Qiong's heart skip a beat.

Gu Xu is usually quite unserious, even though the two have a very good relationship.

But he rarely called her that seriously.

The next moment, Gu Xu straightened up and looked at the sky, which had completely darkened.

"Sister, you heard everything clearly in the auditorium just now, what's the situation like now?"

"The mission that the Calamity Army is about to take on is by no means an ordinary exercise, nor is it playing house in the rear. The places we are going to have no support, no supplies, and we can't even send out a distress signal."

"The enemies we face start as high-level alien races, and a demigod or even a source-level being could appear at any time."

Gu Xu took a deep breath, turned to look into Su Qiong's eyes, and there was a heavy feeling in his eyes that made Su Qiong's heart tremble.

"In that environment, I couldn't afford to worry for even a second about whether my back was safe."

"I need someone I can absolutely trust."

Gu Xu paused for a moment, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse.

"Everyone was cheering for victory in the battle in the East China Sea, but only I knew how scared I was in the last moment. Although my skill had the effect of reversing time and saved everyone, everyone was fine in the end."

As Gu Xu spoke, his eyes reddened slightly, and he clenched his fists: "But I never want to go through that again."

"I don't want to watch my older brother, who cares about me the most in the world, and you, fall down in front of me again."

"Time travel isn't a magic bullet, and I wouldn't dare gamble your lives with such a vague and uncertain ability, so I don't want anyone else to be the deputy commander."

"I don't recognize anyone but you."

The evening breeze swept across the square, carrying Gu Xu's somewhat deep voice into the air.

Jiang Shu didn't know when she had stopped calculating the accounts.

She silently watched the two of them while holding the bag of potato chips, her eyes slightly red, and she secretly wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

Looking into Gu Xu's clear yet weary eyes, Su Qiong felt as if something had struck the hardest part of her heart, causing it to suddenly soften completely.

This kid, he single-handedly shouldered all the blame and carried the hopes of a nation's future.

But at this moment, he revealed a hint of lingering fear and vulnerability in front of her.

Su Qiong suddenly felt relieved.

The God-Slaying Army was indeed her home.

But the boy in front of her was already family she was willing to risk her life to protect.

Su Qiong sniffed, suppressing the stinging in her eyes, and suddenly raised her hand to give Gu Xu's head a hard rub.

She ruffled Gu Xu's freshly styled hair into a bird's nest.

"Alright, stop playing the victim in front of me."

Su Qiong pouted, regaining her usual capable demeanor: "If you insist on dragging me onto this pirate ship, then I'll make it clear from the outset."

Gu Xu, protecting his hair, nodded repeatedly: "Whatever you say, sis, is fine."

"Send away from your damned Calamity Army. I don't care about any danger, my salary and allowances must be twice that of the Godslayer Army! If I'm short even a penny, I'll go to the military headquarters that very day to report you for withholding my pay."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu immediately grinned.

That smile was like the sun suddenly breaking through the clouds on a rainy day, so bright it was almost irresistible.

"No problem! Double it is! At worst, I'll steal all the antiques and paintings from Li Weiguo's office and sell them to pay your salary!"

Su Qiong couldn't help but laugh at this outrageous remark.

A gentle breeze swept across the off-road vehicle.

Su Qiong took half a step back, standing as straight as a spear.

Facing Gu Xu, she slowly raised her right hand, placed her fingertips on the edge of her military cap, and gave a salute to the God-Slaying Army.

Su Qiong looked at Gu Xu in front of her, a proud and bright smile appearing on her lips.

"Then please guide me, Commander Gu!"

……

"No, Your Highness, you are my superior officer. How can you forcibly take food from your subordinates like this?"

On the bus, Jiang Shu's eyes widened, and her instinct to protect her food made her pounce on Gu Xu and snatch the potato chips back.

"Oh? You still remember I'm your superior?"

"If you dare disobey my orders, I'll send you to a military court tomorrow!"

"Xiao Jiang! I'm ordering you to bring me the potato chips right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them instantly started wrestling in the back seat of the SUV, accompanied by the sound of a packaging bag being torn apart.

A few pitiful potato chips flew in front of me like snowflakes.

While driving, Su Qiong felt a throbbing vein on her forehead, and she suddenly turned the steering wheel.

With a muffled "bang!", the two people in the back seat collided solidly due to inertia.

"Hey you two, can you please shut up for a second?"

Su Qiong glanced at Gu Xu in the rearview mirror, who was still trying to salvage the potato chips that had fallen onto the floor mat, and sighed, "You were all so high and mighty at the headquarters, but now that you're in the car, your true colors are showing, aren't you?"

"Our team doesn't even have a temporary base. Where are we going next?"

"We can't really go begging at the military logistics department, can we?"

Gu Xu stuffed half a potato chip into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, and said indistinctly, "Going to the military canteen is a last resort. I will never beg unless I am completely desperate."

"As for where to go now... turn at the next intersection and head to the Job Change Hall."

"Why are we going to the Job Change Hall?"

"I'll accept a job change quest!"

Gu Xu said matter-of-factly, "I've been stuck at level 45 for days, it's really frustrating, okay?"

He was telling the truth, of course.

Now that I have some free time, I should quickly complete some advanced quests to level up, so that I can be more relaxed when I go to sweep through the Abyss later.

After all, Crow Bro is so strong, he's already really looking forward to seeing what the sixth Servant of Calamity will be.

……

Before long, the off-road vehicle came to a steady stop in front of the Dragon Capital Class Change Hall.

It served as the central hall of the Shenxia Empire.

The class change hall in Longjing was still as magnificent as ever.
