Chapter 145 Getting to Work

Three days later, the Tail Feather Brigade headquarters, on the third floor of the office building, in a spacious and bright office.

Jiang Xiao sat on the sofa, watching Fu Hei, who looked disgruntled and spoke vehemently.

In front of Fu Hei was a huge desk.

Behind the desk, Er Wei leaned back in her chair, her long legs casually placed on the desk, crossed over each other, as she looked out the window at the lush, tall trees, ignoring Fu Hei's words.

"Brigade Commander! Brigade Commander!" Fu Hei's words weren't exactly respectful, but he stood ramrod straight, making for a rather strange scene.

As an observer, Jiang Xiao sat on the sofa, perfectly positioned to see Tian Gou (Sky Dog) – Zhang Wenqing and Ying Ya (Shadow Crow) – Xiao Ye standing outside the door.

Over the past three days, the Tail Feather Brigade had undergone a series of adjustments, and the personnel structure of each regiment and team could be considered to be preliminarily settled.

The three regimental commanders were Xiao Li (Minor Official) – Li Yi Xu, En Jie (Grace and Tribulation) – Shi Enjie, and Da Li (Major Official) – Fu Hei.

Er Wei finally turned her head, looking at Fu Hei with impatience, and said, "Giving you a regimental commander position, and you still want more."

Fu Hei's expression turned anxious, and he said, "No, Brigade Commander, I am indeed a regimental commander, but what kind of regimental commander is supervised by his own deputy? Do I have to get Tian Gou's approval for every order I give and every action I take?"

Er Wei silently looked at Fu Hei and said, "What, you want to be a dictator?"

Fu Hei was immediately dumbfounded. That was a heavy accusation. Besides, everyone in the brigade had the right to ask me that, except for you, Er Wei (Luan Hongying)! You're the biggest "dictator" of them all!

Of course, Fu Hei didn't dare say these words.

Fu Hei looked distressed and said, "I'm restrained by Tian Gou everywhere. What's the point of being this regimental commander?"

Er Wei turned her head again to look at the dense leaves outside the window and said, "Your regiment has fewer teams. It's good to discuss things."

Hearing this, Fu Hei felt even worse, and said, "A standard regiment has three squads, with several teams of Star Apprentice to help out. The official combat sequence is only three teams, and you cut one off."

Er Wei said silently, "We currently only have nine spots for Star Illuminate squads, and Jiu Wei's (Nine-Tailed) independent squad is taking up one of your regiment's spots."

Fu Hei really wanted to retort with "You're bullshitting!", but he didn't dare.

The Tail Feather Brigade had reached a point where freedom was unimaginably high. The so-called organization, expansion, and recruitment were all decided by Er Wei herself. She didn't even have to report to higher authorities.

Fu Hei turned his head to look at Jiang Xiao, who had a well-behaved expression. Outside the door, Tian Gou and Ying Ya were also smiling at Jiang Xiao. Both of them were Star Illuminate squad leaders under Fu Hei's command.

Fu Hei looked resigned and said, "Okay, if the Tail Feather Team is taking up a spot in my regiment, then let his squad focus on missions that are aligned with our regiment."

Er Wei said faintly, "Jiu Wei is the second-in-command of the Tail Feather Brigade. He is your superior. You should ask him."

Fu Hei's face darkened: "Me?......"

Hearing this, Er Wei's eyes narrowed, and Fu Hei immediately shut up and gave up.

Jiang Xiao finally spoke, "Alright, you have Ying Ya and Tian Gou. How many captains can these two be worth? Shi Enjie went to take Hou Mingming and Zhao Wenlong. Would you be happy if I gave you those two rookies?"

Fu Hei was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little strange. He said, "You know what? I actually would be happy."

Er Wei withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Fu Hei, frowned slightly, and said, "Get out."

Fu Hei smacked his lips with a distressed expression. Looking at Er Wei's eyes, he hesitated for two or three seconds, then quickly turned around and left.

At the door, Tian Gou and Ying Ya welcomed the "hero" back.

Ying Ya (Shadow Crow) – Xiao Ye quickly said with a smile, "Regimental Commander Fu, it's okay, it's okay. Jiu Wei is right, I'm worth two!"

Tian Gou (Sky Dog) – Zhang Wenqing also said with a smile, "Yes, Regimental Commander Fu, don't worry. I'll help you with everything. If we brothers are of one mind, we can move mountains!"

As soon as Fu Hei went out the door, his attitude changed immediately. Looking at the two of them, he said, "Shut up! Both of you stand at attention!"

Tian Gou and Ying Ya: "......"

Don't even mention forgetting his old teammates after three days in office. On the first day of taking office, Fu Hei's spirit had completely changed...

......

Inside the room, Er Wei glanced at Jiang Xiao and gestured at the documents on the table.

Jiang Xiao got up, walked over, and said, "I have to go to the Central Plains, privately, 1."

This was a code. 1 represented Jiang Xiao's main body.

Yes, the Jiang Xiao standing in front of Er Wei was a Practice Puppet, not Jiang Xiao's main body.

Jiang Xiao's main body was in the World of Calamity Shadow, studying his new Star Chart – Soul of the Sea Devourer, using the Crimson-Gold Candles he had captured from Mount Erye.

There were many other-dimensional spaces near Yizhou City, including Mount Erye. The creatures in Mount Erye were very low-level, such as the Bronze-quality Crimson-Gold Candles and the Silver-quality Crimson-Gold Giant Insects.

Obviously, the Bronze-quality Candles were better for experiments. At this time, there was already a Crimson-Gold Candle paradise in Jiang Xiao's World of Calamity Shadow...

The Black-and-White Candle was the leading big brother, frolicking around inside, bumping left and right, playing "bumper cars" with its companions.

The Black-and-White Candle was now Platinum-level. Its body was more solid, heavier, and stronger than those Bronze-level Crimson-Gold Candles.

In the Candle paradise, once the Black-and-White Candle rushed forward, the piles of Crimson-Gold Candles would scatter like balloons. Jiang Xiao almost died of cuteness the first time he saw it...

For example, right now, Jiang Xiao's main body was greatly influenced by the Black-and-White Candle.

At this time, the Black-and-White Candle was like a great general, leading the way, leading its companions behind it, and moving in an orderly manner.

Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot...

Piles of Crimson-Gold Candles followed the Black-and-White Candle, "marching" in a sea of flowers, making "ooh ooh" sounds.

They were occasionally blocked by some huge flowers, revealing a faint flame and a Q-bomb, soft body, like a bunch of balloons that had become spirits...

Er Wei opened her mouth and said, "Purpose."

Jiang Xiao said, "To track down the one who escaped."

Er Wei's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but it quickly disappeared. She gestured again at the documents on the table.

Jiang Xiao picked up the documents, opened them, and saw the information of two soldiers.

Wang Lang, Lin Wan Yan.

Er Wei said, "Hou Yan Huan is not enough to be a squad leader. His position and personality limit him. He still needs to grow for a while."

Jiang Xiao nodded. That cheerful, unrestrained man had left a very deep impression on Jiang Xiao.

Especially Hou Yan Huan's singing voice. Back then, when Er Wei accompanied Jiang Xiao to the Starfall in Da Meng Province to collect the Ghost Tiger Star Bead, that night, Jiang Xiao attended the night watchmen's bonfire party for the first time.

Hou Yan Huan, holding a tattered guitar, sang "Huaxia Ballad", which made Jiang Xiao feel a lot of emotions. To this day, he still remembers the Starfall night watchmen's appearance of making the best of their bitter lives, and Hou Yan Huan's unrestrained appearance of raising his head and drinking wine.

Shield warriors are generally at the front, and their position limits them from being able to coordinate the overall situation well. This position has a natural disadvantage.

"Lin Wan Yan, she's quite a match for Hou Yan Huan? A whole body of Sound-type Star Techniques?" Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "In the future, one will play the zither and the other will sing. Are you going to turn this squad into a cultural troupe? Li Yi Xu is probably going to be miserable."

Er Wei said, "Star Sea Peak is not to be wasted as a cultural troupe leader."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiao nodded, no longer joking, and said, "You made two captain-level medical Star Warriors with one move, sigh...

Be polite when you ask for people. You are now the highest commander of the Tail Feather Brigade, representing our big family. We will be stationed here for a long time in the future, so don't run out of favors."

Er Wei gave Jiang Xiao a cold glance. Seeing that Jiang Xiao didn't object to the decision to recruit people, she put the matter aside and changed the topic, saying, "How is the Soul of the Sea Devourer?"

Jiang Xiao knew that the Soul of the Sea Devourer she was talking about was not a Star Beast, but Jiang Xiao's new Star Chart.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao's expression became solemn, and he said, "I know the correct direction and result, but I'm still working hard to reverse engineer the process. I've already passed the first stage."

Er Wei: "Hmm?"

As she spoke, Er Wei said, "You guys, go downstairs and guard."

Obviously, Er Wei was talking to the soldiers standing guard outside.

This office building only had three floors, and the entire third floor only had Er Wei and Jiang Xiao's offices.

The organization of the Star Illuminate Brigade was very special. If a regular military branch reached the level of a "special operations brigade," then there would be tens of thousands of people, with various positions, units, and functional departments.

But as a Star Illuminate team that could rise to the "regiment" level with just three squads, the entire organization was terribly streamlined, so there weren't many people in this three-story office building.

Er Wei stood up and led Jiang Xiao to the suite in the office. After Jiang Xiao came in, Er Wei closed the door. This was where she rested, and the decoration materials were special, with very good soundproofing.

Er Wei didn't open the World of Calamity Shadow either, because this was enough. Even if she spoke in the office, the Star Illuminate apprentices outside were extremely qualified to be recruited into this team.

Jiang Xiao sat down on the sofa and said, "I can currently slightly control the Crimson-Gold Candle's body, but the movements are still a bit stiff. Most importantly, I can't use the Crimson-Gold Candle's Star Techniques."

Er Wei leaned against the door and nodded, and said, "This Star Chart is indeed overbearing. In the future, when you've studied it well, you can not only control Star Warriors, but also control Star Beasts and use the Star Beasts' Star Techniques."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Our side is in the early stage of construction and preparation for war, and it's almost settled down. It's been three days, and I can't wait any longer. The longer the time, the harder it will be to go back in time."

Er Wei said, "Specific plan."

Jiang Xiao said, "This is the second task, and there's also a pre-task."

Er Wei: "What."

Jiang Xiao said, "I don't have enough manpower. I want to reset the Gardener Puppet."

Er Wei thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You have a lot of Resource Star Beads in reserve, it doesn't matter."

Resetting the Gardener Puppet meant that all the Star Beads and Star Techniques on his body would be refreshed, and the Gap of Time and World of Calamity Shadow would all disappear.

But at the same time, the Gardener Puppet would also be promoted from the Star River Peak to the Star Sea Stage.

Jiang Xiao said, "Since I'm going to die, I want to die with value."

Er Wei: "How do you mean."

Jiang Xiao: "Experiment. I'll let the Practice Puppet enter the Gardener Puppet's World of Calamity Shadow.

I'm not going to reset the Gardener Puppet. Instead, I'm going to kill the Gardener Puppet in the conventional way, and then, through the Practice Puppet's perspective, see if the Gardener Puppet's World of Calamity Shadow still exists after he dies."

Er Wei: "You want to..."

Jiang Xiao shrugged and said, "Although I have a whole body of Star Techniques, I'm still a person who has his head hanging on his belt, risking his life. If a Star Transformation stage expert can sneak attack me, control me, and kill me.

I want to see if my World of Calamity Shadow will collapse or still exist if I die."

Er Wei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Jiang Xiao said, "Some of the people I'm close to live in the World of Calamity Shadow. In the future, more people may live there.

If my World of Calamity Shadow still exists after I die, that would be a relief for me.

As long as I build that world perfectly, they can still live there peacefully for the rest of their lives after I die. It can also become a colorful world, and it can even be built into another Earth."

Er Wei didn't continue on this topic, but instructed, "Remember to call out Liu Wei (Six-Tailed)."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, he's already out. Everything inside has been moved out... Well, since you agreed, I'm going to experiment now."

Er Wei said faintly, "Go, be quick and neat, it can reduce a lot of pain."

Jiang Xiao grinned and smiled, said nothing, just got up, opened the door, and walked out of the room...
