Chapter 52: As Expected, It Was That Girl
“I want you to form a team of 10 people, and you will enter the Second Ring of the Deep Sea Forest. The deadline is three days, and we will rank you according to the total value of the resources you have collected.”
Looking at this batch of the Federation’s most outstanding soldiers, Ning Yiyuan’s gaze was resolute, and his words were firm and forceful. Even though he was dressed in casual clothes, the imposing manner of a soldier was unmistakable. “I expect only the best performance, do you understand?”
“Understood!” The group of people said in unison, and one could hear the excitement and worship from their words. One had to know that the man standing in front of them was the youngest Marshal of the Federation in hundreds of years.
With his formidable strength, Ning Yiyuan caused a huge uproar the moment he entered the army. After that, he had made many outstanding contributions. Through blood, sweat, and success, he had forged his identity as a Marshal. Now, Ning Yiyuan had become the idol of this generation of young soldiers.
Now that they could see him in person, who would not be excited? Thinking that as long as they could pass this test, they would be able to enter the team personally led by the Marshal, everyone could not help but clench their fists. The blood in their hearts surged!
“Very good.” Looking at their energetic state, Ning Yiyuan nodded slightly. “Now, take your equipment and set off immediately!”
“Yes!” Hearing this, the soldiers turned around and charged into the Deep Sea Forest without any fear.
The two people behind Ning Yiyuan started to tease each other.
“Hey, how many people do you think will join our team this time?” Zuo Lin bumped into Zhong Wen, who was next to him, with a cunning look on his face. “Sigh! These little guys are so young. They just want to jump in without thinking, but they don’t know how badly they will be destroyed after joining the team!”
“That’s true.” Zhong Wen nodded and looked at Zuo Lin with a serious look. “You’ve been destroyed quite badly.”
“Tsk! You must be blind.” Zuo Lin’s smile disappeared. He glared at Zhong Wen and raised his head narcissistically. “Look at my handsome face, do I look like I’ve been destroyed?”
“That’s enough.” Ning Yiyuan interrupted their bickering with a look. “Have you arranged for your team?”
“Don’t worry, Boss.” Zuo Lin snapped his fingers. He was usually cheeky, but when it came to serious matters, he immediately became serious, “I’ve already confirmed it. Each of them is wearing a miniature monitor. I guarantee that I can record their every move, physical condition, elemental energy, and other conditions.”
“Mm.” Hearing this, Ning Yiyuan nodded in satisfaction. “Then let’s go and take a look.”
At a corner not far ahead, a simple tent was set up with many sophisticated instruments. These instruments recorded the status of the soldiers in action in the Deep Sea Forest, then, they were automatically sent to the Personal Terminals of Ning Yiyuan and the others.
“Not bad.” Seeing the performance of the people in the live video, Zuo Lin nodded slightly. “There are still a few good seedlings this time.”
The group had only entered for a short while, and there were already several people who had successfully hunted a magical beast.
“Let’s wait and see.” Zhong Wen just liked to compete with Zuo Lin. “The most important thing is to have the last laugh. What’s the use of being capable at this time?”
“You bastard, why do you always have to go against me?” Zuo Lin frowned. “Let me tell you…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Ning Yiyuan. “It looks like the two of you have too much energy. Since that’s the case, why don’t we spar and practice your fighting skills?”
“No need, Boss.” Hearing this, Zuo Lin immediately rejected. “I feel like I’m not in good spirits now. As expected, I’m getting old…”
Who would fight with their boss for no reason? That would be like asking for a beating!
Unfortunately, this time, Ning Yiyuan had no choice but to go straight into the Deep Sea Forest.
“There’s really no need, Boss.” On the way, Zuo Lin used various reasons to persuade Ning Yiyuan. “Look, this is a waste of your time and energy. Right… ?”
Halfway through his words, Ning Yiyuan suddenly stopped.
“Boss, you agree with what I said, right?” Zuo Lin’s face was full of joy. He could finally preserve his beautiful face.
“Someone’s here.” Ning Yiyuan frowned slightly and walked towards the grass on the right. He pushed aside the reeds that blocked his view. A woman was lying in the middle. From their angle, they could only see her slender back.
“Boss, be careful.” Zhong Wen became more alert and stretched out his hand to stop Ning Yiyuan. “Why don’t you let me take a look first?”
Ning Yiyuan’s trip this time was done in secret, but no one knew if the news had been leaked. No matter what, they had to be wary of danger.
“It’s okay.” Ning Yiyuan pushed Zhong Wen’s hand away and strode forward. He picked up the girl who had fainted on the ground. The view of her back looked really familiar. When he saw this delicate little face now, he was certain that it was indeed that girl.
The two people behind him exchanged glances and mouthed their words the entire time.
“Why, does Boss know this person?” Wow, this was the first time he had seen their boss hugging a girl so gently!
“Oh… I remember now. This little girl is the girl we saved on the interstellar ship.” Zhong Wen’s eyesight was extremely good. He only took two glances before he remembered, however, it was also because his boss had paid special attention to this girl that he had such a deep impression.
With Zhong Wen’s reminder, Zuo Lin also remembered. “Oh, so it’s her.”
“Zhong Wen, quickly come and see what’s wrong with her.” Zhong Wen’s medical skills and Zuo Lin’s network technology were considered outstanding in the entire Federation. It was because of this that they were able to become Ning Yiyuan’s capable right-hand men.
However, Zhong Wen was not someone that anyone could order around. If it was in the 21st century, he would be the personal doctor of a high-ranking official or the president himself. How could an ordinary person order him around?
However, Ning Yiyuan did not hesitate and asked him to take a look at this girl. With this gesture, he revealed just how much he cared about this girl.
“Don’t worry, Boss. This girl is fine.” After a careful examination, Zhong Wen finally came to a conclusion. “It’s just that her body is exhausted, causing her to faint due to the temporary exhaustion of her energy elements. As long as she has a good rest, she will be fine when she wakes up.”
“Okay,” Ning Yiyuan replied in a low voice. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
“Then let’s go back.” After saying that, Ning Yiyuan hugged Mo Chu tightly and strode forward.
The two of them consciously fell behind. Looking at the couple in front of them, their hearts were filled with joy. This time, they did not have to fight the boss and suffer abuse. This was great!
