Chapter 222: How Can We Let Your Little Field Trip End Just Like That?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After farming one wave, Vigilante A returned to Lin Tian Stadium, on the northern border of Kailuan. He discovered that a large number of Extraordinaires were already gathered there, all of them with overflowing presences. They were all at least Basin-level or above.

Their numbers seemed to be around ten thousand, arranged in thirty or so squares. At the several corners of the stadium, there were a few dozen instructors who were drilling the formations…

The System said, “Hey, they’re practicing formations, but why doesn’t it seem imposing? In fact it seems to not have any power at all? It’s hard to use three hundred Basin-level people to create the momentum of a Pond-level person more amazing than that Great Green Insect…”

Indeed, this was Ren Ruofeng’s method, to use a bunch of Basin-level Extraordinaires to create the momentum of a Pond-level master, to exhibit their prestige and intimidate the enemy.

A certain Great Green Insect had already set a good example in advance.

It had been more than two months, and Ren Ruofeng, with his 99 points of resourcefulness, had already guessed that that frightening momentum when that Great Green Insect appeared was just a ruse. It was not that amazing in the first place.

Fang Ning pondered, “I got it, they’re trying to intimidate the enemy. They don’t look like they’re planning to farm monsters…”

Just as he finished speaking, Vigilante A’s flying sword immediately rose, and flew towards his house.

Fang Ning wondered, “You want to play truant? The punishment is very serious.”

The System said, “Since they’re not planning to farm monsters… I’ll tell Zheng Dao to come as our stopgap. Isn’t he the general manager of Harmony Powers Ltd.?”

Ten minutes later, the clueless Zheng Dao was brought to Lin Tian Stadium by Vigilante A…

After listening to his instructions, Zheng Dao started to feel extremely grateful. Finally, a collaborative task which allowed him to act personally. Speaking of which, he never had to chance to demonstrate the might of the Atmospheric Morality Technique which he succeeded in training on the enemy before…

In the two days, Vigilante A happily continued his daily life.

Zheng Dao was left sulkily standing at the stadium, drilling formations along with other fellow cultivators in collaborative units. They stood together as the chilly spring wind blew, but not even a single enemy was sighted…

‘I should have known. For tasks that involve killing the enemy, how would the Venerable One possibly let a Bucket-level like me join?’

Although Zheng Dao was disappointed, he was still quite grateful. He was just regretful that he never got the chance to use the Atmospheric Morality Technique even after learning it for so long.

He breathed a sigh, and started to practice the formation that was nothing but a show with the others.

At this moment, just as Zheng Dao thought that this was just a case of ‘crying wolf’, a voice suddenly cried.

“Attention to all, under the leadership of your respective instructors, march towards the northern border!”

On the grassland at the common boundary between Russia and Guifang, at that large Extraordinaire military camp.

The thousands of Extraordinaires barely arranged themselves in three loose layers, in an array in front of the military camp.

“It’s almost three in the afternoon, why have those two Rakshasa 1 not come yet?” Their commander, the middle-aged man said doubtfully, “The scout just reported, saying that there has been no signs of a large number of ghouls moving. What exactly are they planning?”

At this moment, that young and pretty girl said after thinking, “Maybe Alex and Valery are too scared. They heard that Clan Leader Lin is here, and are afraid that their lives would be taken silently like the others, so they decided to automatically withdraw. The battle ends at 5 pm. There are only two more hours left, even if they rush here, they will not make it in time. Both sides took the Heavenly Oath, they will not have the chance to regret after the fact.”

The middle-aged man nodded and laughed at her words, but said in regret, “That should be the way. It’s a shame that I had specially spent billions to hire eight hundred Extraordinaire mercenaries internationally, just in case. If I knew that those two Russians were so cowardly, I would have just used our Cloud Fog City’s Extraordinaires.”

Old Master Lin stroked his beard, extremely pleased.

He had two disciples, one male and one female. The male’s face was handsome and heroic, his name was Zhou Ming. The female was bright and beautiful, her name was Xu Jing.

The two of them were currently standing behind their Master, their gazes full of admiration.

Ever since the found out the technique characteristics from their Master, their confidence recovered, and they planned to properly bring it into play once. When their Master kills the enemy chieftain, they would go against the leaderless hoard of ghouls.

Although they lost that chance now, it further proved how amazing their technique was, causing their confidence to greatly increase.

Zhou Ming told Xu Jing telepathically, “Slay the enemy, nurture the Jade Sword, and feedback to the body, that is the complete essence of the Jade Sword Mantra. Master’s technique was derived from a prophecy, as expected, it is extraordinary. In the past, we only did the middle step, and solely relied on respiration vitality to nurture the Jade Sword. No wonder our progress was so sluggish. The Jade Sword wasn’t even able to advance and feedback to the body. That caused us to mistakenly believe that our technique mantra cannot live long.”

Xu Jing hurriedly said, “Brother Ming, don’t say that out loud. Our Master always said that our technique mantra was passed down from pre-Qin, and that he is the 38th heir of the Jade Sword Clan, hehe…”

Zhou Ming said helplessly, “Master being good at everything is just him bragging. Three years after he started, there was once when he got drunk and started rambling, and I found out that Master’s ancestors carved jade artifacts, and had no relevance to any sword energy cultivation…”

While a few people were flattering him, the jade sword adorning Old Master Lin’s waist started to let out humming sounds.

His face immediately wrinkled, and he looked towards the south.

“What’s the situation?” The middle-aged man asked anxiously. He was only a master at the peak of Basin-level, but he had the confidence to snatch such a large territory like Guifang by relying on the influence of Cloud Fog City behind him, where there was a Pond-level master present.

He did not count on those mercenaries. Those people were only there to look imposing and keep up appearances. Many Extraordinaires did not undergo the strict, formal mercenary training, and only relied on their extraordinary abilities to intimidate others.

The people who had core fighting capabilities who were able to fight in a hard battle actually only amounted to five, along with two hundred or so Extraordinaires from Cloud Fog City which he personally trained.

Lin Yuqing did not speak for a period of time, as if he was sensing something from this Jade Sword.

After a while, he cried out. “The motherland is deep and profound after all to be able to pull out several dozen Pond-level masters to suppress the southern border. This is to prevent Extraordinaires from dispersing into the motherland and wreaking havoc after the battle is over.”

The middle-aged man felt relieved at his words. Their organization, Cloud Fog City, had connections with China, so he laughed, “In that case, they are worried about nothing. Those two Russians did not appear at all, so there is no battle to be fought. We can just take this as a little field trip, hahaha.”

“Haha… that’s true.”

“What a waste of such a large piece of territory, No matter how poor the output, if you manage it well and plant some Vitality crops, as well as excavate a few Vitality material mines, you’ll still be able to earn tens of billions.”

The other four started laughing at the same time.

“How can we let your little field trip end just like that?”

The black cat Ton looked at the group of laughing people in the distance, its face somber and cold.

“Tom, what happened? They don’t seem like they’re starting to fight. Didn’t you say that the Russians were the best at fighting? Even if they know better, they will still want to charge forward.” Maggie, who had already finished preparations for the summoning, said dejectedly.

Tom said placatingly, “Don’t worry, I have more than enough contingencies. Let me invite another resource here first. Death has already completed preparations to absorb the power of death. How could I let it wait in vain?”

In a large military base in the far east of Russia.

“Guifang is under our traditional sphere of influence. Forget about that Wise Grand Tutor, at least he was a local from Guifang. Now, even those Chinese Extraordinaires want to take a share of what they’re not entitled to there. That’s absolutely unacceptable!” a large, bearded middle-aged Russian officer roared in aggressive vigor.

“The Extraordinaires are not people to be trifled with. In the Siberian Wilderness 2 , which is the current Siberian 3 region, is completely littered in their nests. We kept consolidating the resources of our own Extraordinaires, and are unable to extract energy to wipe them out.” an old Russian officer shook his head.

The large, bearded middle-aged Russian officer slapped the desk. “We cannot let this continue. Half a year has passed, and they are clear with the basic ins and outs. Most of the newly awakened Extraordinaires are not that strong, they won’t even be able to endure a single bullet, forget warplanes and missiles…”

The elderly Russian officer continued to shake his head, “Anton, we should leave the Extraordinaires to deal with the other Extraordinaires. The country is currently organizing the Knights of Grand Duke, which are beginning to take shape. There are pastors and knights. In the future, we’ll rely on them to wipe out the Extraordinaire settlements in the Siberian Wilderness.”

A trace of bloodthirst flashed in Anton’s eyes. “No, we need to restrain them now. Otherwise, they will be hard to deal with in the future. I want to request a strike from the Minister…”

The elderly Russian officer received a shock at his words, but did not say anything after pondering.

Russia had long been dissatisfied with those invader Extraordinaires who trespassed into the Siberian Wilderness, but because they were not clear on the details, and the Extraordinaires’ destructive abilities far exceeded that of an ordinary person’s, they silently endured until now. Their anger and resentment accumulated, and it was time to vent it out.

4 in the afternoon, in the grasslands of Cloud Fog City’s Extraordinaire military camp, several dozen mercenary captains were already informed that the two Rakshasa got afraid of their might, and decided to automatically withdraw. Everyone could have a good rest that night, settle the payments tomorrow, and leave.

They could get paid even without fighting. The numerous Extraordinaire mercenaries were naturally in jubilant spirits as they stood down and returned to their respective tents. Some started playing on their phones, some surfed the net, and there were even some doing indescribable things…

“How relaxing. We only came for a three-day field trip to the grasslands and stood in formations, and we get a million.” In a grass-green tent, a Caucasian lay on the comfortable mat, opening his phone and playing Dou Dizhu 4 , while showing off to his Asian companion.

“I only get three hundred thousand. You’re Bucket-level, but I’m only Cutlery-level. Looks like they’re paying us according to our power-level. Those high-level Extraordinaires sure earn a lot of money. Do you think a Basin-level’s appearance fee will be tens of millions?” the companion said enviously.

“From what I’ve heard, it’s like this. Extraordinaires are starting to change a lot now, unlike half a year ago. At that time, it was even easier to earn money. Simply going to the house of any rich person and performing for an hour would be enough to snag themselves five hundred thousand.” the Bucket-level Extraordinaire said.

“What can we do? There is one person who has the aptitude to cultivate into an Extraordinaire in every one hundred people, so how could their numbers not increase? It’s only that cultivation requires abilities and resources, and the tuition fee is much higher compared to learning cultural knowledge. A large portion of them are unable to put aside that much money for cultivation, so right now the competition is not that intense yet. In the future, the prices will definitely fall. I’m just afraid that they’ll fall to the point of ordinary mercenaries. Their annual salary is only 200,000 USD, which is only a million yuan.” The Cutlery-level Extraordinaire sighed.

The Bucket-level extraordinaire nodded, “Grade-Fs are ordinary people. In order to cultivate to the lowest mug-level, which is a Grade-E extraordinaire, they would have to spend more than a million. I relied on a large organization and labored for them for half a year, until I was able to steal a low-grade technique. I cultivated until I was Bucket-level before I dared to come out and work as a mercenary. I only hope that I can earn enough money as soon as possible and retire. The task this time wasn’t bad. The chief said that the risk is not big, and that Cloud Fog City had the backing of China. They definitely have an amazing trump card, so we don’t have to sell our lives. Sure enough, that’s true.”

For many middle and low-grade Extraordinaires, although their power already exceeded that of ordinary people, their mentality was still the same. They only thought of earning money, supporting their families, and living better lives…

Extraordinary powers, in their eyes, was just a skill for them to make big money. It was not much different from professional athletes…

Inside the biggest tent was also filled with cheerful voices and jovial laughter.

The five seniors of Cloud Fog City were currently celebrating their victory. Atop the table was six alcoholic hotpots, all steaming. The insides were full of freshly cut beef and mutton slices, as well as various fresh vegetables. It did not look like a military camp in the wild.

They laughed as they ate. The middle-aged man suddenly took his phone out and opened it to look, and his face instantly grew anxious.

“Not good. Those darn Rakshasas, they have no morals at all. They can’t beat us, so they asked for help from their royal court. The field scout just sent an urgent notice, saying he discovered their military base in the far east already sent out thirty war plane towards our current station. They are fully equipped with all kinds of missiles, and will reach here in an hour.”

The young and pretty girl’s face revealed a trace of fear at his words, “Then let us quickly evacuate. A large portion of the Extraordinaires cannot resist the destructive power of missiles.”

The middle-aged man grit his teeth and said reluctantly, “We flee as soon as we get scared, how would we have the prestige to occupy Guifang? No one will listen to us anymore in the future. We invested more than a billion in expenditure this time…”

Hearing his words, Old Master Lin calmly and unhurriedly used a paper towel to wipe his mouth before speaking, “It’s just a group of warplanes. Even without the protection of Extraordinaires, they are just some high-level toys. There’s no need to panic. Sort out the arrangements, this old man will first get a feel for what’s going on. If the planes are piloted by ordinary people, it’ll be enough if I scare them away.”

The middle-aged man immediately thought of the prestige of his Jade Sword, and was overcome with joy. Just as if he was grasping at his life-saving straw, he pleaded earnestly, “In that case, I’ll completely reply on Old Master’s remarkable powers. If you are able to scare them away, I’ll double your remuneration.”-

Lin Yuqing nodded and smiled slightly, “Good, good. Landlord Liu is courteous. First, tell me the approximate direction of their air fleet.”

The middle-aged man lowered his head to look at his phone again, and read out the detailed report seriously. “Scout reporting back, currently, the air fleet is at latitude and longitude XXXX, at an altitude of 13,000 meters. They are moving towards the West, which is to say, towards our current position.

“Their speed is approximately 1,700kmh, around Mach 1.3. The warplanes are Model XXXX, and each one carries 4 missiles, 2 air-to-surface and 2 air-to-air. The pilots should all be Grade-F ordinary people. No power presences above Grade-F can be detected. The reason is probably because Extraordinaire pilots have not been trained yet.

“The two scouts who returned to report both had powerful hawk-like detection talents. Their cultivation technique is specialized in detecting, and are extremely familiar with mainstream military equipment. There are clear skies for ten thousand miles, so they are able to see everything clearly. Furthermore, after comparison, their information will definitely be accurate.”

Lin Yuqing nodded again, and said to his two disciples Zhou Ming and Yu Jing, “My disciples, sally out with Master this time to gain some experience.”

Then, the middle-aged man saw the three of the Jade Sword Clan close their eyes at the same time. The Jade Swords on their bodies floated, and with a ‘swoosh’, ‘swoosh’, ‘swoosh’, they rushed out of the tent, one in front and the other two following behind, and charged towards the clouds.
