Chapter 158: Leader of the New Generation

“So generous?” Duren Burg felt a little surprised at the cigarette that was passed to him, which was a luxury even in the big cities, let alone in the army. How could Qian Jin give it to him without hesitation?

“Unless…”Duren Burg stood up and circled alongside the iron fence like a restless hare, eyes filled with immense curiosity and inquiry, “Does it mean that…you have a lot of them?”

Qian Jin looked up to gaze at Duren Burg, puzzled by his question. Usually, someone who was given a cigarette would enjoy it immediately, paying no attention to the cause of such an offering. Rollin used to ponder a lot when he was granted something desirable by others, but this person in front of him also did the same.

“Oh! I was right!” Duren Burg’s forefinger trembled as he pointed at Qian Jin. “I saw that! I saw that! Your eyes told me that you still have plenty of cigarettes”.

Qian Jin knocked his head on the wall behind him, feeling helpless about the stubbornness that could be compared to Rollin.

“Listen to me…”Duren Burg bent over, leaning closer to Qian Jin.

Qian Jin placed his hand on his forehead, and replied out of habit, “Get out!”

“Will you offer me more cigarettes if I get out as you wish?”

Duren Burg’s eyes, which mirrored black onyx, twinkled with excitement and expectation. Obviously, he didn’t feel uncomfortable from that “Get out!” at all.

“I don’t have any.”

“I don’t believe that!” Duren Burg shook his head fiercely and firmly, “You must have a lot of them left”

“…” Qian Jin had nothing to say.

“Hey buddy, we did after all go through a wrestling match together. As such, we could be considered comrades.” Duren Burg changed his way of familiarizing himself with Qian Jin, smiling as he continued, “Since we are comrades-in-arms, we shouldn’t cheat each other, am I right?”

“…” Qian Jin continued to suffer in silence.

“Give me another pack…”Duren Burg put up his forefinger, taking on a pitiful look, “the last packet of cigarettes…”

The last packet? Qian Jin twisted his lips in frustration as he recalled Rollin’s past actions. Every time he promised that this time would be the last time, every subsequent plea would be the final time with no end of his “final” requests in sight.

“Please give it to me…this would be the last time I swear.” Duren Burg wore an incredibly sincere look, with eyes of which one could only see sheer sorrow. He resembled a little match girl who was dressed in thin clothes begging people to buy her matches with her shivering frozen red hands on the street.

However, Qian Jin, clearly aware that Duren Burg’s acting as it was the same as Rollin’s, couldn’t help but take out another pack of cigarettes from his warrior dimension as a way to stop his nagging.

“You did have!” Duren Burg exclaimed as he placed the sealed pack of cigarette into his pocket. He immediately turned back to disguise in his habitual sincere look as well as sorrowful eyes, stretched out his hands as if begging and said with a smile, “I guess…you still have some other packs?”

Were it not for them being separated by the iron fences, Qian Jin would kick Duren Burg out of the confinement. He couldn’t imagine that there could be someone as shameless as Rollin in the world.

“…”

“Listen to me, we are comrades-in-arms…”

“…”

“As we both have been placed in confinement here, we could be called inmates.”

“…”

“Listen to me. The chances of becoming inmates are smaller than being husband and wife.”

“…”

“All right…”Duren Burg sighed and said, “I’ll stop asking you for cigarettes.”

Qian Jin relaxed his nerves, thinking to himself that this method of dealing with Rollin also worked for people of the same sort as him.

“Then, shall we have a chat?” Duren Burg came closer to the iron fences, “Which advanced mage and warrior academy do you want to apply for? Zence Royal Academy in the Holy Capital? Or Demon Crasher Academy in Jinsey State?”

“Yulee, Punitive Expedition Academy.”

“Punitive Expedition Academy in Yulee State?” Duren Burg twisted his lips, feeling surprised as could be seen from his eyes, “I can judge from your movements just now that you have reached beyond a level one demon fighter. I think you possess a huge possibility of being enrolled by Demon Crasher Academy in Jinsey State, as well as Zence Royal Academy in the Holy Capital… Why do you wish to go to Punitive Expedition Academy? Even if it is classified into an advanced academy, it is one of the lowest ranking academies, if not the last one.”

Qian Jin shrugged his shoulders. There were in all a dozen advanced academies in the Zence Empire, among which Punitive Expedition Academy ranked seventh, serving as a middle-stream advanced academy instead of an upper-class one. However, Fabreidis had already made such an arrangement. Besides, upper-class advanced academies attached heavy importance on bloodline warriors while neglecting those warriors born without bloodline ancestries, resulting in their lack of resources.

“Aha! I got it!” Duren Burg patted his head, pointing his forefinger at Qian Jin once more, “You, you want to imitate the leading roles depicted in the bards’ stories! That is, attending a bottom-level academy, and bringing prosperity to it by your own efforts! You aim to defeat the upper-class academies and ushering in a new era in the Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Competition?”

Qian Jin couldn’t stop rolling his eyes, feeling speechless about Duren Burg’s incredible imagination. Why should his desire for Punitive Expedition Academy be grounded in a series of deliberations? It was merely owing to Fabreidis’s invitation, in addition to the renown of the Commanding Branch of Punitive Expedition Academy gathered in Zence Empire. As an excellent warrior, it was far from enough to carry a blade to fight against the enemies on the battlefield.

The history of Zence Empire saw a number of grand warriors, who were good at individual combat, falling into the enemies’ conspiracy and being defeated by a warrior in the commanding branch whose comprehensive strength was not noteworthy when they were appointed to lead a troop.

“That is such a good way, pretty good.” Duren Burg looked at Qian Jin with an exuberant laugh, “I had also thought about leading an academy of a lower level to participate the Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Competition. But the team battle stood by no hope! However, now things are different, haha! An opportunity has knocked the door. This will be interesting! I have decided to go to Punitive Expedition Academy in Yulee State, and damn the Zence Royal Academy!”

Qian Jin turned his head to look Duren Burg up and down, wondering what he was talking about?

Being stared by Qian Jin for a while, Duren Burg the shameless flushed faintly! Exhaling a slight sigh, he said, “All right, I admit it. What attracts me is not joining the Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Competition on behalf of Punitive Expedition Academy, but your cigarettes…”

Qian Jin coughed heavily and couldn’t believe what he had heard. Give up on Zence Royal Academy for the sake of cigarettes? Were it known to other warriors, they would have done nothing but roll their eyes and faint. After all, even if he went to Punitive Expedition, he would not necessarily be offered cigarettes.

“As long as I am enrolled in Punitive Expedition Academy!” Duren Burg reflected on this carefully and nodded, “I will have the chance to get your cigarettes…”

Qian Jin had started to consider changing which academy he would apply for, otherwise, he might be gravely pestered by this guy in the future.

“Also…”Duren Burg paid no attention to Qian Jin, instead, he stood up and walked around the room, as if he was a general, pondering on making a crucial move before a major battle, “Should I have Qi Joen join me? Oh no! Though he doesn’t talk much, he is even more shameless than me!”

Qian Jin revised his impression of Duren Burg, as he himself was clear of his shamelessness. But could the one called Qi Joen be even more shameless than him?

“If that guy knew that he had a cigarette warehouse around him…”Duren Burg frowned seriously, “Half of the stock would be taken away by him…it would be such a loss!”

Cigarette warehouse? Qian Jin glanced at Duren Burg, and turned to himself, wondering when he was crowned with the title of cigarette warehouse? Could this person limit his cheekiness to some certain extent?

“I’d better call on him.” Duren Burg leaned across the wall, “If we are set in a group fight, he will be of help. Or else when we are defeated, and the cigarette warehouse has cut off all provisions, will I be provided with any of the cigarettes?”

Qian Jin hid himself in a corner, took out his mage hat from the warrior dimension, placed it over his head and fell into sleep, trying to keep a deaf ear to what this cheeky guy was mumbling about.

“Alas! What a pity that would be! Half of the entire cigarettes! I really do not want to give them to anyone!” Duren Burg wore a sad face, “Should I sign a contract with that guy in advance? And offer him one fifth of the entire stock? No! He isn’t a person who keeps promises, and by that time he will surely go back on his word…oh it’s really troublesome! It’s too cumbersome…”

“Eh? Where does he take out of the hat? A mage hat?” Duren Burg was attracted to the hat covered on Qian Jin’s face, black eyes glittering with a lucid light, “He…he has a warrior dimension…”

Warrior dimension! It was not something that could be possessed by each and every warrior! On the contrary, it was very scarce! An advanced warrior would be shocked and jump up high at the sight at it! Those warriors who owned a warrior dimension were generally backed up by strong background influences!

Duren Burg was of no exception. He felt so astonished that he bounced up high, “Is that…is that to say…what he has with him is much more than some packs of cigarettes?!”

If some advanced warrior who had seen a lot of the outside world was present on site, he wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to pull out his sword to cut down this guy and feed him to the demons, as what made him surprised and excited was not the warrior dimension itself, but that his odds of enjoying more packs of cigarettes had increased.

“Desirable…very desirable…”Duren Burg kept muttering as if his monologue could be heard by some unknown party. “This guy has a warrior dimension…it’s so enviable…if I had one, I would fill it with tobacco! Leader of the new generation! Hmm! I will try my best to become the leader of the new generation! And acquire the fruit of the warrior dimension! So as to fulfill my dream of owning a warrior dimension full of tobacco!”

Eight hours…Qian Jin uttered a heartrending voice, startling Duren Burg who was immersed in his illusion and made him jump.

Qian Jin rolled around on the ground several times with his hands covering his lower abdomen. One thing finally dawned on him was that the most horrible thing in the world was not the demon beasts or the terrible natural environment, but the mystic pharmacist Eulalia…who exchanged her courses with the pharmacy teacher. Today she labored away on a preliminary experiment for a new type of medicine. However it just ended up in failure with strong after effects …even the wind and cloud golden body of level 9 demon fighter couldn’t be its rival…he immediately transformed into a white light and fled from the endless world.
