Chapter 1 For the Alliance Leader's Sake, Adding a Chapter for Handsome Pot

...

Towards dusk, the military aircraft slowly descended onto a military camp in the eastern suburbs of the Imperial Capital.

Under the fine, drifting snow, the four-person team walked out of the transport plane's tail cabin, and the first thing they saw was that familiar figure.

National Flag Guard team member - Qin Wangchuan!

Although Qin Wangchuan was Jiang Xiao's instructor and superior leader, his first impression was very frightening. Every time Jiang Xiao saw Qin Wangchuan, he had the urge to persuade him to join the Flag Guard.

Seeing the little fellows walking out, Qin Wangchuan's serious face instantly relaxed. With congratulations and admiration, he strode forward and hugged Jiang Xiao, the leader, giving him a hard pat on the back.

Aside, Chen Qidao subconsciously saluted, his whole body frozen in the wind and snow...

Qin Wangchuan immediately realized his mistake, quickly took a step back, and returned a military salute.

The team members looked at each other, smiling as they watched Qin Wangchuan and Chen Qidao interact. The scene was quite awkward for a moment.

After seeing off the Pioneer Team Seven, Chen Qidao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Team Seven had not made any mistakes in the subsequent 40-odd days after their initial blunder, Chen Qidao felt an inexplicable worry about Jiang Xiao.

It wasn't that Chen Qidao questioned Jiang Xiao's abilities. On the contrary, Jiang Xiao and his Team Seven were the most outstanding and fruitful team among all the Pioneer Army teams.

But... but Chen Qidao always felt that Jiang Xiao would cause trouble in the next second.

Now, finally, the Jiu Xing Du Nai (Nine Star Poisonous Milk) King had left the team to wreak havoc on Qin Wangchuan. Chen Qidao felt a weight lifted off his shoulders and stopped the other teams from leaving.

Under Qin Wangchuan's lead, the four-person team got into a jeep in the wind and snow.

Gu Shian, of course, sat in the passenger seat, with Han Jiangxue in the middle of the back seat, and Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan on either side.

Along the way, Qin Wangchuan was full of praise: "54 days! Destroyed 303 Fairy Flower Spaces! Cleared a front line of 4399 meters! You not only did your own work, but also snatched the work of the pioneer teams on both sides. You guys are really something!"

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Was this the highest level of speech?

After these words, Jiang Xiao didn't even know if Qin Wangchuan was praising him or satirizing him...

Jiang Xiao immediately said, "I'm telling you, that's because the Fairy Flower Spaces chickened out! They didn't exert themselves in the later stages. If they dared to come, my data could have doubled!"

Han Jiangxue held her forehead. For a full 52 days, the team members had been on high alert at all times. Even if the combat schedule was regular and there was theoretically ample time to rest, that was only the most ideal situation.

How could there be so many ideal situations on the battlefield?

Even when the four-person team returned to the camp to rest, they were on tenterhooks. They had to know that the other-dimensional spaces had opened directly around the military camp several times, and some had even opened directly above the military camp...

Everyone was so tired. This stinky brat was still bragging. Had he forgotten when he thought everyone looked like *Di Jin* users? Had he forgotten the nights he couldn't sleep?

If the Fairy Flower Spaces didn't reduce the number and frequency of their openings, and they stayed there for a while longer, the four-person team would have really gone crazy.

"It's snowing at home." Xia Yan murmured softly, looking at the wind and snow outside the window.

Xia Yan was a native of Beijiang, but now she was in the Imperial Capital, effortlessly using the word "home."

For these warriors who had just returned from the foreign battlefield, this was indeed their home.

Qin Wangchuan, who was driving, responded, "You guys came at the right time. The weather is abnormal. This is the first snow in the Imperial Capital this year."

With the swirling snowflakes filling her eyes, Xia Yan subconsciously wrapped her windbreaker tighter. She missed home a little.

This time, "home" was her home in Jiangbin City.

Qin Wangchuan said to the people in the car, "After you come back, take a good rest. You don't have to participate in duty missions, and I won't arrange practical tasks for you. Study hard. The 7th of next month is exam week."

In the passenger seat, Gu Shian turned his head to look at Qin Wangchuan with a dumbfounded expression.

Xia Yan also suddenly didn't miss home anymore and looked at Qin Wangchuan, who was driving, with a blank expression.

Han Jiangxue held her forehead and buried her face even deeper.

Jiang Xiao's voice came out at the right time: "Wangchuan~"

Qin Wangchuan looked at the rearview mirror, but could only see Han Jiangxue in the middle of the back seat, and asked, "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao said faintly, "Are you even human?"

In the team, Jiang Xiao was probably the only one who dared to talk to Qin Wangchuan like that, whether in terms of address, tone, or content.

If it were before, Han Jiangxue might have reprimanded Jiang Xiao, but at this moment, the other three members of the team didn't say a word, because Jiang Xiao had spoken their minds!

Qin Wangchuan's face flushed and said, "The 7th is just a study week with no classes. You don't officially take the exam until the 14th..."

Qin Wangchuan's voice became smaller and smaller, obviously not very confident.

Then, Qin Wangchuan realized that something was wrong. How could a dignified head coach be so weak? He slapped the steering wheel and said loudly, "All of you study hard for the exam! You must all pass! This is an order!"

"Wangchuan~"

Qin Wangchuan raised his eyebrows: "You shut up too!"

Xia Yan's voice suddenly came from the back seat: "Killing the donkey after it grinds the mill, huh?"

Qin Wangchuan was stunned for a moment. Jiang Xiao was one thing, but Xia Yan dared to talk to him like that!?

Xia Yan in the back seat was also stunned. She didn't say that!

Although it was undoubtedly her voice, she really didn't say it!

Then, Xia Yan turned her head, glared at Jiang Xiao, leaned over Han Jiangxue in the middle, reached out to grab Jiang Xiao's head, and muttered, "You... you..."

Han Jiangxue was obviously very dissatisfied with Jiang Xiao's behavior. She put her arm around Jiang Xiao's head and pressed it directly on her lap, creating an environment for Xia Yan's output.

Lap pillow + massage,

Jiang Xiao's heart was greatly fluctuated, and he was even very happy.

The jeep was driving on a dark suburban road. In the snow and wind, this car seemed to be swaying a little...

......

Back at the Imperial Capital Star Martial, everyone returned to their ordinary and normal learning lives.

Although studying was painful, to be honest, compared to the Jindalai battlefield, they preferred to return here.

The reason was simple: they could finally sleep soundly.

Jiang Xiao never understood how Han Jiangxue could switch freely between battlefield life and studying life.

When Jiang Xiao, Gu Shian, and others couldn't even get their minds back and were too lazy to go to the study room, Han Jiangxue was already immersed in the library, self-studying the courses of the past two months and doing one test paper after another.

Like all the previous exams, the Imperial Capital Star Martial's teaching system was very strict. Missing one class would cause you to fail.

However, in order to cooperate with the identity of Star Martial students, the final exam questions were all taken from the final exam papers of previous years. They were all original questions, and not a single punctuation mark would be changed. This could be considered the difference between Star Martial University and normal universities.

The school did its best to keep the students firmly in the classroom by various means. Studying was your own business, but if you really couldn't get into it, as long as you did the past papers well, you could pass.

Jiang Xiao and Gu Shian were obviously "bad students." They only did those from the question bank: the past final exam questions for the first semester of the second year at the Imperial Capital Star Martial. It didn't matter if they understood or not, as long as they remembered the answers.

In fact, Jiang Xiao's mission wasn't just to complete tasks. Although the days in Jindalai were tough, the regular schedule allowed him to have free time.

Since learning the identity of that Shadow Teenager, Jiang Xiao always went to find the teenager after "getting off work" in the afternoon for the past two months in Jindalai, bringing him some delicious food and learning a little Korean along the way.

However... compared to English and Russian, Jiang Xiao's Korean was very poor.

The crash course of more than a month didn't have a good effect. Because the Shadow Teenager's hometown was from the northern part of the peninsula, Jiang Xiao's words had a very strong Jindalai northern Linjiang accent. It was heavy and hard, completely different from the soft language Jiang Xiao imagined.

Undeniably, from the perspective of language pronunciation, Jiang Xiao didn't feel any pressure learning it. It was much more comfortable than being forced to practice the Russian rolled 'r' by Er Wei in the snowy field back then...

Unfortunately, learning a niche language couldn't add points to the final exam. After leaving the exam hall, Jiang Xiao felt uneasy in his heart, especially since he lost the help of the Great Cheat Bait.

Half a semester had passed just like that. Jiang Xiao thought about it, it seemed like he hadn't attended class for more than a few days, he had been wandering around outside the whole time.

But even so, Jiang Xiao gave himself a high score of 85 for this semester.

As a supervisor, he helped Er Wei recommend and assess team members and formed a "sharp knife squad."

He obtained a Platinum quality Little Bamboo Bear and merged it with the Black and White Candle Flame, turning it into a Black and White Candle Bear. At this time, the two little guys were still playing and sleeping in the Calamity Shadow Ruins, where the star power was extremely rich.

He was still exploring maps in the upper dimension, preparing gifts for Yuanyuan, and he also looked at Zhang Songfu's parents for him.

He accepted the orders of the Pioneer Army, gave Qin Wangchuan a push in his career development, and successfully completed the task, returning a pure land to the people of the peninsula. This was a very meaningful thing.

Jiang Xiao also got what he wanted: One Star Three Skills were completely completed, and he gained a large number of *Di Jin* and Lily of the Valley Star Beads, and even unexpectedly developed a cultivation space.

If he didn't fail the exam again and smoothly entered the second semester of his second year, then Jiang Xiao believed that he could reach 90 points this semester.

Although he didn't know if he had failed the exam, on January 15th, the first day of winter vacation, Jiang Xiao raised his half-semester score to 90 points.

Why?

Because Qin Wangchuan brought four medals with a happy face.

The award ceremony was held within the Pioneer Apprentice Army.

Jiang Xiao never expected that the four-person team would become a model established by Qin Wangchuan.

Whether it was the first batch of Pioneer Apprentices who had already graduated or the second batch of new apprentices, they were all pressed into the school's small auditorium. Under the leadership of the instructors, the four members of the team walked onto the auditorium stage.

Qin Wangchuan hung the medals on Jiang Xiao and Gu Shian.

Instructor Song Chunxi, who had already become a full-fledged instructor, hung the medals on Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan.

The moment the medal was hung on Jiang Xiao's chest, a message came from his Inner Vision Star Chart:

"Obtained Pioneer · Starfire Medal, rewarded with 300 skill points."

So... the lowest-level Pioneer medal only has 300 skill points? The Night Watch second-level Crescent Moon Medal has 3000 points?

How much is the reward for that top-level meritorious service? If it's ten times that, wouldn't it be 30,000?

My goodness......

It seems that I'll have to rely on the medal system to raise Star Pets in the future!

......

The Starfire Medal was a bronze medal, exceptionally exquisite, with sparks depicted on it.

The Night Watch Army's medals from low to high were: New Moon Medal, Crescent Moon Medal, and Full Moon Medal.

The Pioneer Army's medals from low to high were: Starfire Medal, Firework Medal, and Wildfire Medal.

Qin Wangchuan also interpreted the meaning of this medal: the sparks symbolized pioneering and hope.

Unlike the medal Jiang Xiao had obtained before, the Night Watch · Crescent Moon Medal looked more exquisite than the medal pattern in the Inner Vision Star Chart, while the Starfire Medal in the Inner Vision Star Chart was far more dreamlike than the medal Jiang Xiao wore on his chest!

In the Inner Vision Star Chart, the Crescent Moon Medal was like a bright moon, hanging in the upper right corner of the Inner Vision Star Chart.

When Jiang Xiao activated the Inner Vision Star Chart, he saw the sparks in the upper right corner scurrying wildly, flying around randomly, and gathering together.

Finally, with the bursting flames, it spread out, and a bronze Starfire Medal appeared on the right side of the Crescent Moon Medal, hanging side by side with it, almost submerging the noble and mysterious silver moon...

What surprised Jiang Xiao was that the Night Watch Medal burst into a bright moonlight, a silver light flashing, and forcibly suppressed the exploding and dancing Starfire...

What's the situation?

Do medals from different military branches fight each other?

But this Starfire Medal is only the lowest level of the Pioneer, ah? And the Crescent Moon is the second level of Night Watch!

Are you so tough?

Hanging side by side with the Crescent Moon Medal, wouldn't you be bullied every day?
