World’s Best Martial Artist: I Can Fuse with Monster Souls

Chapter 15: Recommendation Letter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was the first time Su Chen had seen the City Lord in person.

He had seen him on the screen before, but from the way Shi Hao personally received him, their mission this time might not be as simple as it seemed.

When the receiving platform reached the interior of the lighthouse, Shi Hao immediately saw the figure standing at the head of the platform that looked like a blade, Gao Fei.

Although Gao Fei was already a senior explorer, it was still an exploration job. Li Mo had always been in charge of it, so Shi Hao did not know much about Gao Fei.

Now that he had seen him with his own eyes, he was indeed extraordinary.

The main reason why he personally came was because the plants that Gao Fei’s group brought back were of great significance to The Lighthouse.

As a result, Shi Hao gave Gao Fei’s group a commendation after exchanging pleasantries. It was an additional contribution point.

It was not because The Lighthouse was stingy, but because every resource had to be firmly controlled in this current environment. Even the City Lord was unable to make any decisions on his own.

Even so, these rewards made everyone in the third team extremely happy, especially the employees who participated in this operation.

The rewards this time were almost comparable to the previous four missions!

At this point, this mission could be considered to have come to a successful end.

Before leaving, Mark found Su Chen, who was preparing to leave with Gu Xin.

“Mark?”

Seeing Mark, Su Chen was somewhat surprised. This mission had already ended, and their employees did not usually belong to the third team. Hence, he did not know why Mark was looking for him.

“Kid, your luck is pretty good. This is Captain Gao Fei’s recommendation letter. After you go to the Combat Sequence Administration Department for a short period of training, report to our third team.”

“Also, what is Mark’s name? Call me Senior from now on!”

Hearing Mark’s words, Su Chen’s face lit up. He had been worrying about how to join the combat squad, but who would have thought that Gao Fei had already arranged everything for him!

After this operation, the combat strength of the third team had shocked him deeply. Being able to join Gao Fei’s squad was naturally the best for Su Chen.

It saved him the need to understand the abilities of his teammates in order to strengthen their cooperation.

However, there was a problem that Su Chen could not understand. Gao Fei was powerful, but the members under him were only Wan Ling and Mark.

This should not be… This kind of team would not invite him to join just because Su Chen’s combat literacy was not bad.

However, Su Chen did not think too much about it. Currently, the shortcut to joining the battle sequence was already on his face. There was no need to trouble himself.

“Okay, Mark. Thank you, Mark!” Su Chen took the recommendation letter from Mark.

“You! I told you to call me Senior…” Mark gritted his teeth when he saw Su Chen’s expression. He was the latest one who joined Gao Fei’s squad. Now that the rookies did not listen to him, how could he show off his authority as a senior?

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Su Chen. “What is training? Do you still need to go to school to become a combat member?”

Hearing Su Chen’s question, Mark felt a headache coming on. The newbie that the captain had taken a fancy to was really clueless.

He could only explain, “Do you really think that joining the combat sequence is that simple? At the very least, you have to go through a short-term training to understand the direction of your superpower development and the things you need to pay attention to during combat… In short, you don’t know anything right now, so you can’t directly join!

“It’s not necessary for you to go to school. Your training should be over before the next mission.

“As for the content of the next mission, Captain Gao Fei asked me to tell you that the target location is a trench. I’m not sure about the specific situation.”

“I see. Thank you, Senior Mark.” Su Chen did not tease Mark anymore. Since the other party had dutifully told him so many things, it was only right for him to address him as senior.

Hearing Su Chen’s change of address, Mark was also extremely pleased. Just as he was about to show off his senior’s elegance, he lowered his head and saw two figures, one fat and one thin, had already left.

…

“This isn’t real! This isn’t real!” Gu Xin walked beside Su Chen, muttering to himself in a daze.

He had been shocked too much in a short period of time, and was a little delirious.

“Hey, I’ve already awakened my superpower. Isn’t it reasonable for Captain Gao Fei to invite me to join the squad?

“Is there a need for this?

“At most, when I’ve earned enough contribution points, I can get you another evolution potion to try. I’ll treat it as a gift from a good brother.”

Su Chen was in a good mood now.

He had gotten the chance to join the combat squad in just one mission. This way, he would have a lot of opportunities to become stronger.

Stepping on the mobile platform to return to the civilian area, Su Chen took a look at the time.

It was already eight o’clock, and the sky was getting dark.

He did not know if the staff of the combat management office had gotten off work yet, but Su Chen decided to take a look. The Combat Sequence Administration Department had a reporting point in the civilian area.

When Su Chen had signed up for the exploration team staff, he had gone to that place.

“Hey, Gu Xin, do you want to sign up with me at the Combat Sequence Administration Department?” Su Chen asked Gu Xin, who was standing beside him.

After hearing Su Chen’s voice, Gu Xin seemed to have learned a lesson from a painful experience. His expression was solemn, and no one knew what he had made up his mind.

“Go! I want to awaken my superpower in the next mission!”

“Ugh… You can’t force yourself to do this. To be honest, judging from the changes in your body, it’s only a matter of time before you awaken your superpower.”

Seeing Gu Xin’s current state, Su Chen was a little worried that Gu Xin would act recklessly, so he could only comfort him.

However, to be honest, Su Chen felt that the possibility of Gu Xin awakening his superpower was very high. After all, almost all the people who had mutated after being injected with the evolution drug like him had awakened their superpowers.

As for why Gu Xin had not awakened his superpower yet, Su Chen guessed that it might be because he had matured a little later.

After arriving at the civilian area, at this time, most of the workers had already gone to rest, except for those who needed to be guarded 24 hours a day and used a shift system.

In The Lighthouse, the working hours usually started before dawn, so everyone’s sleeping time was similar.

This civilian area was the place where most people living in the lighthouse was, so it was livelier during the day.

As for now, it was already quiet. Only the cleaning robots on the road were still working.

The Lighthouse’s lighting energy used solar power, so it was usually bright within 24 hours.

However, the mobile trains to and from various areas only opened during the day. Hence, Su Chen and Gu Xin had to walk.

It was quite relaxing.

“There’s still a lot of things to do this time…”

Su Chen could not help but sigh.

Other than combat training, he also had to pay attention to the location of the next mission. The information that Mark had given him was the trench.

This meant that the next mission was an underwater mission.

He did not know much about the Origin Beasts underwater. Everything had to be completed in a short period of time.

“It seems that there are many things to do after becoming an Evolver…”

Hearing Su Chen’s words, Gu Xin felt as if his heart had been stabbed again. He could only turn his anger into his appetite. He kept eating the compressed biscuits in his bag and muttered to himself, “When I become an Evolver… there will be even more delicious food!”

The two of them chatted and walked slowly. After a while, they saw the management office in the distance.
