Chapter 113: Isn't Su Mingyue a manipulative social climber? How did she become a Saintess?
“Ding dong, detected host has slain two 6-star star beasts. Combat power +60, mental strength +60.”
“Detected host has devoured two 6-star cores. Combat power +60.”
In the Special Operations Hunting Ground, Zhang Chu charged into the mammoth zone of the wasteland.
With his recent experience, Zhang Chu clearly understood the mammoth’s weak points.
Electric vines to entangle!
Electric shock,
Anesthesia!
He used the “Diamond Armor Piercing Body” to begin harvesting.
For the last few in the late stage,
he tried a new method.
Using the mental combat skill “Gravity Field,” he made the mammoths collapse to the ground directly, then unleashed a barrage of heavy punches.
The skyrocket move combined with Diamond Armor Piercing Body was like cheating.
A single punch could pierce through a mammoth’s skull.
The towering mammoths fell like cabbages wherever Zhang Chu went.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The system’s voice continuously echoed in his mind.
“Special Operations Hunting Ground friendly reminder: your training time is less than one minute; please prepare for teleportation.”
After devouring the core of the last mammoth, a prompt came from his wristband.
“This run wasn’t a loss…”
He pulled up his personal information panel to take a look.
Combat Power: 100,800 / 500,000
Mental Strength: 116,200 / 500,000
His realm had finally returned to 6-star once again.
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
Soon, the wristband began the teleport countdown.
After a flash of light, Zhang Chu appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the Martial Arts Library.
At the front desk, a smiling young lady handed him a bottle of water. “Mr. Zhang Chu, how are you feeling?”
“Pretty good, I should come here more often.”
The training in the Martial Arts Library was far superior to the star beast hunting ground at the Boundary Monument Hall.
In just one hour,
his proficiency in the “Diamond Armor Piercing Body” had improved dramatically.
He even had some new ideas about the “Teleportation Technique.”
Human potential truly was something that could be forced out.
After chatting casually with the armored young lady, Zhang Chu finally left the Martial Arts Library.
Following the usual procedure, the lady began archiving Zhang Chu’s hunting videos as training files and uploaded them to the Military Equipment Department’s app.
On his way home by car, Zhang Daoyi glanced at the popup on his phone with some curiosity. “That Zhang Chu really knows how to enjoy himself, hasn’t even spared our Military Equipment Department’s Special Operations Hunting Ground. Let’s see what his real combat strength is like.”
He opened the video and watched it at ten times speed.
A few seconds later, Zhang Daoyi’s eyes lit up. “This kid is a genius, way better than Guan Zifang! Just got the ‘Diamond Armor Piercing Body’ from our Martial Arts Library and has already trained to this level!”
Zhang Daoyi was excited.
The Military Equipment Department, as the stationed garrison army in Binzhou, had been dedicated to fostering successors over the years.
After all this time, only Liu Tianhe had emerged as a proper talent.
Now,
Zhang Daoyi had a new idea and quickly dialed a number. “Boss Guan, this is Zhang Daoyi. It’s been a while since we last met. How about a gathering?”
At that moment,
Zhang Chu, having just left the Martial Arts Library, was still swinging his fists, recalling the entire process of using the “Diamond Armor Piercing Body.”
Zhang Xueying suddenly appeared before him. “Xueying here. When did you get here?”
“I was there when you defeated Liu Tianhe just now.”
Zhang Xueying pursed her lips and casually linked her arm with Zhang Chu’s. “Looks like you’ve been reaping a lot of benefits at the Military Equipment Department’s Martial Arts Library.”
“Cut it out. I almost got killed by Deputy Director Liu.”
Feeling the softness on his arm, his CPU was burning fiercely.
“Do you think I’m joking?”
Zhang Xueying lifted her head, her stunning eyes fixed on Zhang Chu, the contact lenses gleaming.
Zhang Chu was utterly baffled.
What was this about?
Was she serious?
At least confess to me! Otherwise, how am I supposed to break my vow from when I was reborn?
“Just messing with you. Dean Luo wants to see you.”
Zhang Xueying chuckled.
Her mature woman’s smile was like a killer’s blade; Zhang Chu’s little heart trembled violently.
“What’s going on?”
Arm in arm with Zhang Xueying, and in front of everyone at the Military Equipment Department, the two of them left.
“Su Mingyue’s identity has been found. Director Fan wants you to come over.”
Zhang Xueying said.
Wait a minute!
Su Mingyue had another identity?
Besides, what did that have to do with me?
…
Binzhou, Military Management Bureau’s Patrol Squad.
Just as the two arrived at the interrogation room door, they saw Fan Tianlei and Luo Zhidong pacing.
Through the one-way observation window,
two patrol interrogators were questioning someone.
Su Mingyue, wearing a restraint wristband, sat across from them.
Although detained, she remained aloof and even closed her eyes, ignoring the interrogators.
“Uncle Fan, Professor Xiao Chu is here.”
Zhang Xueying greeted.
“Xiao Chu, we’re counting on you this time.”
Seeing Zhang Chu, Fan Tianlei enthusiastically patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly, “Our Military Management Bureau and Old Luo have tried every method, but Su Mingyue refuses to confess. This is very unfavorable for our interrogation.”
The Military Management Bureau’s Patrol Squad had clear rules.
No matter the crime, no private torture was allowed.
A few days ago,
Guan Zifang personally came to the Military Management Bureau with his conjecture.
Only then was Su Mingyue’s identity taken seriously.
But no matter how they interrogated, Su Mingyue remained silent.
Finally,
Su Mingyue spoke. She wanted to see Zhang Chu.
“Xiao Chu, this concerns the Shenluo Alliance. We’ll need you to work hard.”
Seeing Zhang Chu frown deeply, looking annoyed,
Zhang Xueying spoke softly.
“Alright.”
Zhang Chu agreed readily.
Fan Tianlei and Luo Zhidong glanced at each other, both incredulous.
They knew about Zhang Chu’s past grievances with Su Mingyue.
They originally thought it would take more persuasion, maybe even some sincerity.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Xueying’s single sentence convinced Zhang Chu to agree.
After a quick tidying up, Zhang Chu entered the room.
“I heard you wanted to see me?”
Zhang Chu plopped into a chair and didn’t forget to light a cigarette.
“Zhang Chu, you actually came.”
Su Mingyue slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Zhang Chu, her gaze was filled with anger, unwillingness, contempt, mockery—a mix of emotions.
“I’m too lazy to explain the usual ‘confess and get leniency, resist and get severe punishment’ principle.”
“Just tell me your identity.”
Zhang Chu was also impatient.
If it weren’t for Zhang Xueying’s sake, he would never want to see this calculating vixen again in his life.
“You just want to know my identity in the Shenluo Alliance, right? I can tell you, but you have to agree to one of my demands.”
Su Mingyue bit her lip, wishing she could tear Zhang Chu apart alive.
If not for Zhang Chu, she definitely wouldn’t have fallen to this state.
“Dammit, say it or not! Your identity has nothing to do with me!”
Zhang Chu clearly had no intention of indulging Su Mingyue’s schemes and got up to leave.
Who do you think you are, making demands on me!
“Zhang Chu, stop right there!”
Seeing Zhang Chu push the door to leave, Su Mingyue nearly broke down, screaming and crying hysterically.
“Director Fan, Dean Luo, what’s the point of interrogating anymore? She’s just a lunatic.”
Zhang Chu left feeling unlucky.
Seeing Su Mingyue go mad ruined his whole day’s good mood.
“Xiao Chu, Dean Luo just said Su Mingyue might be the Sacred Maiden nurtured by the Binzhou Shenluo Alliance.”
What the hell?
Zhang Chu glanced at the three men’s faces, then looked again at Su Mingyue in the interrogation room: “Sacred Maiden? Has the Shenluo Alliance gone blind? A calculating vixen like her can be the Sacred Maiden?”
