“Ah? For me and my summoned Beast? The logistics officer?”
Jiang Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this. He did not understand why, and he did not know who the logistics officer was.
“Don’t you know the logistics officer? He is a Silver Rank, from the Alchemy Guild. He is a very powerful figure in the army,” Captain Baldy said solemnly.
“I don’t know him. This is the first time I’ve heard of the logistics officer.”
Jiang Yun was at a loss. He could not figure out what was going on. He felt that this logistics officer was too considerate. He even prepared beef jerky for the ogre. It was as if he was taking care of the ogre.
“Strange, really strange.”
Captain Baldy found it strange, but Jiang Yun did not seem to be lying.
Not long after he left, he met the logistics officer. That officer repeatedly reminded him to take good care of Jiang Yun and the ogre. He did not allow any mistakes.
This kind of advice was very strange, and Captain Baldy could not figure it out. He treated the ogre very well, which was even more strange.
Captain Baldy felt that there was something going on because of this, and it might involve the ogre.
“Captain Baldy, can you really not give me an independent dormitory? My ogre doesn’t like to be squeezed together with others,” Jiang Yun said nervously again.
“This… can be done. You can have your own dormitory.” Captain Baldy thought of the logistics officer’s advice and immediately changed his words.
“But, didn’t you just say that there are no extra rooms?” Jiang Yun said hesitantly.
“It’s fine. You can stay in Jiang Zhan’s dormitory and let him squeeze with others first.” Captain Baldy took away Jiang Zhan’s dormitory.
“Captain Baldy, I…”
Jiang Zhan was unhappy. How could he fit two people in such a small room? His Draconic Might Beast was three meters tall, half a meter taller than the ogre.
“Jiang Zhan, we’ll talk later. I’ll make arrangements for Jiang Yun first.”
Captain Baldy immediately motioned and carefully arranged for Jiang Yun. Then, he left with Jiang Zhan.
When they arrived at an empty place, Captain Baldy told Jiang Zhan about the logistics officer and then asked.
“Jiang Zhan, does your younger brother Jiang Yun have a special identity?”
“No, he’s very ordinary. He’s been very ordinary all these years. There’s nothing special about him.” Jiang Zhan was also puzzled.
“Oh? Then has anything unreasonable happened recently? When did it start?” Captain Baldy continued to ask.
“Yes, there is one thing that is very unreasonable. Supervisor Zhang of the Holy War Shop actually hired a Spiritual Power Carriage for Jiang Yun. That carriage is not cheap,” Jiang Zhan continued to explain.
“Oh? There is such a thing?” Captain Baldy was surprised.
“Yes, I am also very puzzled. I don’t understand why. By the way, on the day when we contracted a Summoned Beast, my Draconic Might Beast was very afraid of Jiang Yun’s ogre. Could it be related to the ogre?” Jiang Zhan immediately said.
“The Draconic Might Beast was afraid of ogre? There’s actually such a thing? Something’s wrong, something’s very wrong. There’s something very wrong with this ogre.”
Captain Baldy’s eyes flickered. He thought of the logistics officer’s instructions to take care of the ogre. Captain Baldy vaguely discovered something.
“My grandfather also suspected that ogre was extraordinary. He even specially appraised the ogre. In the end, he discovered that it was just an ordinary ogre…”
“Later on, he blamed the cowardice of the Draconic Might Beast on psychological trauma,” Jiang Zhan continued to explain.
“It’s possible. If it was in the past, I might have thought so too. However, since the logistics officer is involved, this ogre is definitely not simple.”
Captain Baldy knew very well how shrewd and extraordinary the logistics officer was. If even such a person was involved, it meant that there was something going on.
“It seems that we have to investigate it properly. I originally thought that you guys would lead the team to do the low-level missions alone, but now it seems that it’s not suitable…”
“You guys should do the missions under my eyes so that we can observe better,” Captain Baldy muttered and prepared to secretly test the ogre.
“Jiang Zhan, you should go back and observe Jiang Yun more. I’ll bring the two of you to participate in the mid-level missions tomorrow.” Captain Baldy said.
“Okay, then I’ll go back first.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
After Jiang Zhan left, Captain Baldy left with deep doubts, thinking about what secrets were hidden in this.
On the other side, in the dormitory…
Li Xuan occupied the bed alone, leaning back and taking out a book to read. Beside him, Jiang Yun could only mope on the floor. He had no choice, he could not afford to offend Li Xuan.
“Battle Merit Exchange System? Not bad, not bad.”
Li Xuan looked at the book in his hand, and joy emerged in his heart.
This book was a detailed explanation of the Battle Merit Exchange System. It described in detail the things that could be exchanged with Battle Merits.
Among them, there was one thing that attracted Li Xuan’s attention, and that was the essence.
Yes, the essence appeared in the exchange catalog. As long as one had Battle Merits, one could exchange for the essence.
“This is truly a pleasant surprise. If I can really obtain it, then…”
Li Xuan continued flipping through the book, intending to use Battle Merits to exchange for the essence of battle to raise his strength.
“Ah? There are actually Soul Crystals here? Good, good, good. Even though the quantity is limited and the price is extremely high, it’s still an absolute good. I can’t miss it.”
Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He was even more eager to obtain Battle Merits, and he was looking forward to obtaining a large number of Battle Merits in the future.
With such expectations, Li Xuan closed his eyes and began to rest.
However, a loud snore came from the head beside him. It was so annoying that Li Xuan could not sleep.
Li Xuan, who was in a bad mood, slapped him. The world immediately became quiet, and only then did Li Xuan continue to sleep.
“It really hurts.”
Demon Two rubbed his head aggrievedly. He was very depressed, but he did not dare to throw a tantrum. He could only look at Li Xuan aggrievedly before closing his eyes again.
The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, bringing vitality to all living things.
Li Xuan got up early and woke Jiang Yun up from his sleep. Then, he brought the dazed Jiang Yun to the mission hall.
At this moment, there were many people in the mission hall. Each Summoner brought their own Summoned Beasts to accept the mission. Then, they set off toward the mission location.
Li Xuan looked at the mission plaques above the Mission Hall. Looking at the low-level mission rewards, he frowned.
“Low-level missions only give 100 Battle Merits? That’s too little. This bit of battle merit points will take a long time to exchange for essence and soul crystals.”Li Xuan frowned. He felt that it was a bit troublesome.
“The mid-level mission rewards are not low. The lowest is 1000 Battle Merits. However, why must there be a Bronze Rank expert?”
Li Xuan’s frown deepened. He felt that the quest’s requirements were too much.
However, he also understood that the Bronze Rank requirement was to prevent weak people from receiving quests and suffering injuries.
“Jiang Yun, so this is where you’re at. You woke up too early.” Captain Baldy was a little speechless. He felt that young people nowadays woke up too early.
“Captain Baldy, I’m just here to take a look.” Jiang Yun immediately explained.
In fact, he was forcefully woken up by the ogre and brought here to take a look at the mission situation at the mission hall.
“It’s good that you’re here. Follow me. Today, you and Jiang Zhan will follow me to complete a mid-level mission,” Captain Baldy said.
“Mid-Level mission? A minimum of 1,000 Battle Merits?” Li Xuan’s eyes lit up.
“Yes, yes. If the mission’s target is exceeded, then there will be even more rewards,” Captain Baldy explained.
“Alright, let’s go.” Li Xuan picked up Jiang Yun and left without any hesitation.
“This…”
Captain Baldy looked at the Summoned Beast carrying the summoner. That feeling was very strange.. There was an indescribable sense of dissonance as if such a scene should not appear.
