"Please save my old comrades!"
Black Shell pleaded earnestly:
"Although most of us have never killed a king-level blade beast by ourselves, every single one of them is a true warrior who has guarded the D5 Combined Combat Zone for over thirty years!
"They operated the Horror cha during nurous overload incidents, becoming an important force in deterring the king-level blade beasts!
"If you could rescue them from the brink of death, the D5 Combined Combat Zone will gain a batch of war generals with extrely rich combat experience! The pressure on our battlefront will be substantially relieved!
"I’m earnestly hoping you can help us!"
Wang Jixuan gave a wry smile, "You are really too anxious, we must wait until Beta’s scalp follicles have recovered... Call Beta, let’s go to the seventh floor."
He turned to look at Red Snake.
The sub-king level blade beast was wrapped in Spiritual Energy.
Wang Jixuan simply said, "Don’t disturb Red Snake, keep the surroundings quiet."
"Understood!"
Black Shell turned and opened the large doors of the hangar.
Wang Jixuan walked out with Peony.
In the shadows outside the door, seven uniquely shaped transparent Nutrition Storages were stopped on both sides, with several old n in white coats behind each one.
Inside the Nutrition Storages, seven elderly half-human cha, four n and three won, lay dormant with tubes and wires plugged all over them.
Peony explained softly:
"Two first-generation, three second-generation, and two third generation and a half Human-Machine Armor, all of whom had participated in the Spiritual Ability City rebellion war fifty years ago. They were rit generals whose brain atrophied after successive wars, but whose bodies were preserved."
"The Commander dispersed them to different military research institutes... for two main purposes."
"One is to try to delay their deaths, hoping that with technological advancent, they can be rejuvenated."
"Another reason is to use them as experintal subjects and data blueprints for the updating and iteration of half-human cha technology."
"All these were done with their own consent."
Wang Jixuan nodded, his heart filled with emotion.
In life a war general, near death, a subject for research.
The legacy of half-human cha, was undeniably too heavy.
"Get the Maid Group over here, one per person to take care of them. Peony, you go and ask Tree Man Beta to go to the seventh floor, I’ll refine two more pill furnaces today."
"Yes, sir," Peony smiled, "Poor Tree Man Beta has already been taken for a soak by Captain Zhou, soaking in nutrition liquid."
Wang Jixuan: ...
Why take a soak?
These guys aren’t planning on making full use of Beta’s body hair, are they?
This!
Ge Zu in heaven, please ensure that only Beta’s hair is used for refining Spiritual dicine!
...
Before starting the pill furnace this ti, Wang Jixuan fussed with the Pill Furnace, adding a few new Prohibitions.
He was not good at Alchemy but skilled in Artifact Refining; trying to upgrade the Pill Furnace under limited conditions could also increase the success rate of alchemy and reduce the loss of Spiritual dicine.
With previous experience, Wang Jixuan was also more adept.
He only had Peony assisting him on the side while refining the pills, with Tree Man Beta on standby as an ergency supply of Spiritual dicine, and everyone else had to wait outside.
Shen Qionglin was very curious about this matter;
Yet she restrained her curiosity and took the initiative to stay away from that area.
At nine o’clock in the evening, seven chanical maidens received a new batch of He Yuan Pills, slightly better in quality, and began treating the seven rit Generals.
This treatnt would last for two to three hours.
Wang Jixuan watched for a while, then asked Peony to keep an eye on them while he returned to his dormitory, took a shower, ditated, relaxed, and cultivated.
The three extra He Yuan Pills produced this ti had already been sent to other areas of the D5 Combat Zone.
Now, there were nine half-human cha in this industrial fortress, slightly less powerful than Black Shell, and Wang Jixuan felt completely secure.
He cald his mind, closed his eyes, and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy released by the Crystal Core.
Having spent a long ti ntoring Red Snake and engaging in alchemy today, his Dao Heart had also gained new insights.
Next, once Red Snake enters the underground fortress, he would see if he could unravel the mystery of the ’glowing stone slabs’ and learn more about the Blade Beasts.
Hum, hum!
Wang Jixuan suddenly rembered he had forgotten sothing, stopped ditating, and quickly took the vibrating communicator into his hand.
[Lingtong (Under Maintenance): Have you finished the eting?]
[Wang Zheng (Light of Righteous): It wasn’t a eting, that was a quick reply, I just finished making dicine here.]
[Lingtong: Captain Zhou had already inford , you have important things to attend to on your side. I was just greeting you earlier, nothing urgent.]
Not angry?
Wang Jixuan stroked his chin, pondering carefully.
According to Mu Liang’s mories regarding fantasies of romantic yearning, shouldn’t a girl be angry when stood up?
[Wang Zheng: Where are you now?]
[Lingtong: I’m preparing for my first speech, morizing these scripts is tiring, but also alright. Picture.]
[Wang Zheng: Shouldn’t a speech be expressive and touching? I suggest you send a recorded video, I’ll help you critique it.]
[Lingtong: Wait a mont.]
Eh, she’s really sending it?
About two minutes later, a video popped up.
Although the video quality was compressed, one could still clearly see Lingtong’s attire and her beautiful face filled with earnestness.
She seed to be trying on her outfit, her oval face adorned with a delicate makeup.
The white silk blouse added an air of elegance to her, and the black tight jeans outlined her nearly perfect legs shaped by long-term training.
Lingtong took two steps back, and with a slight bounce of her high ponytail, she stood steady.
Wang Jixuan, the ascetic cultivator, for a mont couldn’t think of the right words to describe this Battle Girl.
To call her gracefully slender would seem too green, to say she has a charming posture would be too seductive, to describe her as neat and competent would be too simple, and to call her cute and enchanting wouldn’t encompass even a fraction of her allure.
Lingtong held her chanically enhanced arms with synthetic skin in front of her and began speaking earnestly.
She did not have many expressions, and her speech was not particularly impassioned, yet there was a magical charm about her that made one believe every word she said.
The content of the speech was mostly a critique of Spiritual Ability City.
The video was a total of two minutes long.
Wang Jixuan replied with two thumbs-up emoji.
[Lingtong: Is it alright?]
[Wang Zheng: You could say it’s perfect.]
[Lingtong: Excessive praise can also be disparaging, you know.]
[Wang Zheng: It’s really great.]
[Lingtong: Alright, I believe you, I’ll continue to practice. Later, I have to decide on the outfit, what do you think, should I wear a military uniform or casual clothes? Casual clothes are the ones I’m wearing now.]
[Wang Zheng: Please, the casual clothes.]
[Lingtong: Why?]
The Daoist coughed twice, looking down. The word ’beautiful’ was typed and deleted several tis, he hesitated to praise her directly, and finally typed ’more approachable.’
He didn’t press send, as a long block of text suddenly appeared on the square screen.
[Lots of Serious Business (Wu Bian Sword Formation): Um, I’m terribly sorry for disturbing two people flirting on the public frequency. But there’s sothing, Wu Man told not to say anything, but I think it’s better to tell you. Wu Man had an accident; while he was on duty earlier, he said he saw soone suddenly, couldn’t even get a clear view, and then Wu Man started to feel groggy, sleeping and waking intermittently. Now he’s been asleep for four hours, and I’m worried about him. A few experts have already examined him and said there’s no problem, but I think sothing’s not right; his face is very pale, and his breathing is rapid, like he’s having constant nightmares. Wu Man didn’t want to bring him back, said he didn’t want to trouble you... What should we do?]
Wang Jixuan’s brow furrowed slightly.
According to Lao Zheng’s description, Wu Man seed to be suffering from ’Soul Loss,’ a condition that frequently occurs in ordinary people, whose Three Souls and Seven Spirits can beco unstable from excessive fright.
Wu Man was a Spiritual Ability User with relatively strong Telekinesis.
Wang Jixuan suddenly thought of sothing, and his expression changed subtly. He modified his response:
[Bring him back, imdiately.]
