My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 278: Chapter 238 Returning to Lanxing (4K)_2

But nobody belittled him.

Although Mu Yuan was low-key, Baijiang’s new generation mostly recognized him, especially since Mr. Tan personally attended to him and arranged for him to be at the main table.

After all, there were 16 newly appointed lords in Baijiang’s four cities, but among them, only four were authentic Baijiang residents.

Mr. Tan, Liver Emperor, Mu Yuan, and a Mr. Lu.

Mr. Tan naturally had to arrange for Mu Yuan at the main table.

Besides, in his view, while Brother Mu came from a humble background, his current achievement could not be underestimated, he was a man acknowledged by Mr. Tan himself. It was just that Brother Mu was too low-key and seldom interacted with various wealthy businessmen.

Mr. Tan was a bona fide second-generation rich man, the son of Baijiang’s richest man.

Just as he was about to introduce Brother Mu, Liver Emperor, and the other lord to several bosses, one food industry boss widened his eyes.

“So you’re the legendary Boss Mu? Nice to meet you.”

The sturdy middle-aged man on the side was an old player, serving as a manager in a medium-sized chamber of commerce.

When he first saw Mu Yuan, he was carefully recalling, but suddenly noticed the woman sitting next to this young lord, wearing a black suit jacket and white shirt.

President Mu?

“It’s an honor to meet Boss Mu, let’s drink to that.”

He seemed very familiar.

Mr. Tan:”…”

Why are you more familiar than me?

Nevertheless, able to sell Rare Level Remnantsouls so easily, you’re indeed worthy of being called Brother Mu!

Actually, Mu Yuan once got quite a few Rare Three-Star Level Remnantsouls.

However, those Remnantsouls were directly sold to Shiling Town, and could be sold at a high price within half a day.

Rare One-Star Remnantsouls also have a good market in Shiling Town. The reason for selling them to Lanxing was to bundle them with other low and medium star Remnantsouls to sell to other chambers of commerce in a package deal. Secondly, it was to establish business dealings with these chambers and expand channels for more efficient acquisition of various low-level Remnantsouls.

Although Mu Yuan now had some ‘self-protection power¹, it was still not appropriate to show off when buying Remnantsouls.

Showing off was useless anyway.

Even if his Tianyuan Territory wanted to buy several hundred one-star Remnantsouls at once, these chambers of commerce may not be able to provide them. No one would deliberately retain so many low-star Remnantsouls, they were all used as cannon fodder.

“However, given the current environment, business is becoming harder and harder to do.”

“Yeah, last week the high-speed rail to the provincial city broke down. It’s said that there is a lair of high-order Monsters on the only way.”

“That’s not too bad, it’s just that Monsters have occupied it. If there are strong people who can spare their hands, they can still exterminate these Monsters. But like in the west, the whole road is blocked by the Area of Two Realms, that’s truly impassable.”

Some bosses and traveling merchants sighed.

However, some players stated that the Players Association has recently issued a lot of tasks, which are very profitable.

“Indeed, in the past, we new players could only drink a little soup left by old players in the Tai Xuan Alliance’s territory, and our growth was very slow. But now, since the Players Association has issued more and more tasks, it’s become easier for us to earn Soul Sand.”

Some new players were showing off their professional level Spearman and Archer.

But it didn’t draw the envy of others.

In the past, it would have been arrogant enough to cultivate professional soldiers in just a few months, and it could be called talent. But this year, this level is just average.

Even some Ranger Players had already started using Rare Rank Troops.

“Among our batch of new players, aside from the Lords, the most likely candidate for fastest development would probably be Old Brother Mai Wa.”

“Indeed, it is said that Brother Mai Wa joined the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce early on and has become very prosperous, even equipping himself with nine sets of Rare Rank Troops. Now, Brother Mai Wa’s abilities are probably stronger than some of the newly appointed Lords.”

Mu Yuan was alert and strong in spiritual power.

No matter how noisy the surroundings were, all the sounds were like strands of thread, clearly entering his ears.

Professional?

Rare Rank Troops?

“When was it that the first of my territory’s generals broke through to the Professional Rank? It seems like it was a long time ago.”

The Lord Trial hadn’t arrived at that time.

At that time, it was very difficult for him, Mr. Mu, to buy a piece of Breakthrough Material, or rather it was beyond his means. The reason he could finally buy the Breakthrough Material was largely due to Deputy President Jiang applying for three thousand Contribution Points for him.

Now, it’s said that Deputy President Jiang has been stationed in a large Area of Two Realms, and hasn’t been seen for a long time.

“Now there are more and more Fleeing Monsters in Lanxing, and while it’s easier to make money, the risks are also much higher. It’s said that several of our new players have already died at the hands of Monsters.”

“Our country is still okay, but overseas it’s said to have already…”

“But with the increasing numbers of rifts and Areas of Two Realms, the domestic situation may not be…”

Mu Yuan pondered.

A thought began to take shape in his mind.

Just then,

Buzz, buzz, buzz

His phone started shaking, revealing a red marked warning.

“Level Two Disaster Warning”

This was when the local Players Association, sensing the imminent emergence of interstitial, fleeing monsters, would send warning messages to nearby residents, advising them to take refuge as soon as possible.

At the same time, a message marked with a blue exclamation point would be sent to the players within the regional scope—who had registered at the association and downloaded the official app on their smartphones.

The monster warning message also came from this official app.

The Heavenly Eye, which could detect the birth of an interstice in advance, had only been developed three months ago.

It was because the Players Associations everywhere had deployed the “Heavenly Eye” that the trend of rampant monsters could be contained, maintaining a precarious stability within the country.

But this Heavenly Eye, it is said, had consumed countless manpower and material resources to be deployed to every prefecture-level city.

“Ding Dong!”

“The current task has been taken.”

Not far away, a look of regret appeared on the faces of some newbie players.

This was just a sideshow. Other than a few players who left midway through receiving the task, everyone else was calm, having grown accustomed to the emergence of fleeing monsters.

But when the gathering was about to end,

Buzz, buzz, buzz

“Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!”

The disaster warning, task reminder, sounded again.

The vibration was stronger this time.

“Level Six Disaster Warning!”

A huge red dot appeared on the map. Judging from its position, it was still far from them, not even within the range of Baijiang City.

The disaster site was in the southern suburbs of the neighboring Jiangbei City!

“The disaster is about to appear, the Players Association is summoning players from surrounding cities to rush to aid Jiangbei.”

“But a Level Six warning… Isn’t that the warning level that has already appeared in the border region? There will be a lot of monsters and possibly even high-order monsters!”

“And we… we are just newbies.”

Mu Yuan looked at the red dot flashing constantly.

The red dot was so glaring.

If it only appeared on the border-line, Xuan Country could handle it easily: exterminating monsters in the early stages, encircling and blocking in the middle stages, and turning the border line into a resource base in the later stages. However, the position of this border-line was embedded directly into Jiangbei City. If the response was a bit slower, it might just…

“Let’s go.”

“Okay, boss.”

Mu Yuan finished the red wine in his cup and turned to leave.

“Brother Mu, are you going to…” Mr. Tan asked.

“Yes.”

There was a trace of struggle in Mr. Tan’s eyes, and he clinched his fists.

“You’re right. We indeed are newbies, but we are also players who wield supernatural powers, pioneers!”

“If we don’t go, who will?”

“It’s still you, Brother Mu, who woke me up. I’m inferior to you.”

No, I’m just not as courageous as you.

Mu Yuan, with Sophia, didn’t go downstairs but headed straight for the rooftop of the building.

Under the night sky, Baijiang City was brightly lit, and a cool breeze blew in their faces.

It blew his clothes into a flurry.

At his side, Sophia extended her arm and pulled slightly.

Rip-

Her expensive western-style suit was torn apart, revealing the black tight- fitted garment she was already wearing underneath. She again pulled out a black robe from her storage ring and skillfully put it on, letting her bound up hair flow naturally down her back.

She was able to change outfits in the blink of an eye.

Mu Yuan silenced for half a second, “Let’s go.”

Then he leaped down from the rooftop of the high-rise building, more than two hundred meters high.

He became a crow, one after another, flapping their wings, blending into the night.

Sophia closely followed behind and jumped down. The group of black crows flew towards the outskirts of the city.
