Qin Feng took the USB drive and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
Rost was so overwhelmed by the gesture that he shook his head frantically. "It was no trouble at all! No trouble at all!"
What was running a few errands when he got to work for the legendary Great God Qin Feng?
Moreover, what truly sparked everyone's envy was that from this moment on, Rost would be working right by Qin Feng's side!
At this moment, both Rost's comrades and the Dragon Country soldiers who often let him scrounge meals were glued to their screens, so jealous they wanted to beat him to death.
Ahmed, seeing Sister Bao'er playing happily nearby, grew even more nervous.
The Guardian who had annihilated 300 Taotie in 0.5 seconds!
She was right here, in the flesh!
Rost was even more dramatic, practically wanting to kowtow in submission.
After Sister Bao'er's fame skyrocketed in a single battle, her name spread throughout Pakistan. Many Pakistanis even stopped practicing their faith, choosing instead to worship Sister Bao'er, hanging her portrait in their homes for veneration.
To them, Sister Bao'er was a living god.
Qin Feng plugged the USB drive into the mecha, and Li Tai's holographic projection materialized in the center of the group.
On the wall behind him, the words "Serve the People" were written in large characters.
"Hello, Mr. Qin. First, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your outstanding performance on the National War Battlefield. On behalf of all our people in Dragon Country, I send you my greetings."
After delivering these opening remarks, Li Tai actually gave a military salute in front of the camera.
Being a soldier himself, this gesture naturally meant he regarded Qin Feng as a comrade-in-arms.
Then, Li Tai gave a general report on the current situation of the National War Department and the entire nation.
It felt less like he was issuing orders and more like he was reporting to Qin Feng—reporting on the changes in Dragon Country and the National War Department's strategic arrangements.
In a word: Dragon Country's future was brighter than ever!
On Blue Star, the staff of the National War Department completely forgot about their work, staring blankly at the massive screen on the wall.
They were all secretly dumbfounded.
Section Chief Li, who had always been so aloof and superior, seemed like a subordinate when facing Qin Feng.
They had never seen Li Tai wear such an expression before.
Even so, seeing Li Tai on the screen now, he looked like he was sharing in the glory.
To even be able to *speak* with Qin Feng brought immense honor!
"Is the spiritual qi in Dragon Country already this dense?"
Qin Feng muttered after watching the recording.
He had never expected that not only would Dragon Country experience a nationwide martial arts explosion, but the government would also organize a Martial Arts Competition to select martial arts talents.
...and they've also started focusing on cultivating martial arts talent.
In the holographic projection, Li Tai was wrapping up his message to Qin Feng.
"Time is tight, so I won't waste any more words. In short, the people of our motherland trust you completely. Mr. Qin, you can let loose on the National War Battlefield! Don't worry about offending anyone. As for the randoms on Blue Star, don't worry about them either. We have Dragon Country soldiers on Blue Star! Finally, we ask you to keep up the good work and create more glory!"
The next part of the video was a message to Sister Bao'er.
"Miss Bao'er, I wonder if you have any intention of taking on a disciple? If so... blah blah blah..."
Li Tai's tone was even more respectful when addressing Sister Bao'er. He even used the formal 'you'...
But at this moment, Sister Bao'er was still playing with her Transporter.
Qin Feng said, "Sister Bao'er, why don't you come and watch this? The chief of the National War Department has something to say to you."
To his surprise, Sister Bao'er didn't even take off her VR goggles and said, "Who's that Li Tai? I don't even recognize him. I'm not watching! I'm busy right now."
Qin Feng: ...
Everyone: ...
The people of Dragon Country on Blue Star were also left speechless, a collective black line drawn across their faces.
Within the National War Department, officials and staff alike were trying to steal glances at Li Tai's reaction.
Li Tai gave an awkward smile. "The temperament of a child, haha. This girl Bao'er is straightforward and pure. Not bad, not bad at all."
Everyone else: ...
*You old fox, I'm done with you!*
After a segment of him trying to talk Sister Bao'er into taking him as her disciple, the video finally got to the part where he spoke to Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu, being from the old school, still harbored some bureaucratic mindset. He still held a certain level of respect and awe for government officials.
His and his disciple's respectful posture before the holographic projection did, to some extent, save Li Tai's face.
In the video, Li Tai revealed that on Blue Star, Uncle Jiu had thousands upon thousands of "stealth students," so he no longer needed to worry about his Daoist arts being lost to history.
Furthermore, Li Tai hoped Uncle Jiu could teach Suli more thoroughly and systematically. This way, the students on Blue Star could learn the arts more quickly and easily.
Finally, according to the National War Department's predictions, the next wave of attacks might be supernatural in nature. He hoped Uncle Jiu could prepare teaching materials for Blue Star in advance for this purpose.
Li Tai didn't just bring a message to Uncle Jiu; he also had Pakistan prepare a large package of materials related to Daoist arts for him.
Cinnabar ink, yellow paper, brushes, and other consumables—all of it was there.
Uncle Jiu took the materials from Rost, his face splitting into a grin of pure joy.
"Ah, Section Chief Li is truly thoughtful! My own supplies were almost completely depleted. This is a godsend!"
Uncle Jiu's heartfelt thanks, relayed across the void, completely restored the face Li Tai had just lost to Sister Bao'er back on Blue Star.
But what pleased Uncle Jiu even more was the sudden influx of so many disciples. He had truly brought glory to his ancestors by bringing Maoshan techniques to the forefront of the world!
"Very well, as Section Chief Li has requested, I will do my utmost to impart the Daoist arts."
Uncle Jiu concluded with a traditional, martial-style cupped-fist salute.
As the video feed ended, Jarvis announced, "Sir, Drone No. 29 and Drone No. 35 have each spotted a wild monster."
The dozen or so drones had been out for half a day and were nearing the completion of their scan of the ten-mile radius around the National Gate.
Qin Feng clapped his hands together, urging his team, "Alright, alright, you've had enough rest. Everyone, back to work!"
He then sent the coordinates of the closer monster to Suli and his team.
He assigned a more distant location to Rost's group.
After all, the Pakistan Guardian's talent was far more powerful, and Rost himself possessed a Gold Talent.
"Yes, Mr. Qin!"
The six-person team prepared to set out.
Since no new Corpse Pit had been discovered, Uncle Jiu would accompany Suli's group, taking the opportunity to teach them some talismans and feng shui knowledge.
Meanwhile, Sister Bao'er would operate the Transporter and follow them, while Qin Feng himself would remain at the National Gate to command.
"Hehe, this is fun! I feel like I have everything under control!" Sister Bao'er said, wearing her VR glasses.
Qin Feng returned to the command center and activated the holographic projection.
It displayed a new map of the area around the National Gate.
"Just as I expected!"
The fog of war near the National Gate still covered a radius of about 10 kilometers. Beyond that, the fog vanished.
"Sir, Drone No. 7 has discovered a suspicious location. The signal detected is very similar to a Green Treasure Chest."
"Oh?" Qin Feng asked skeptically. "Can't you confirm?"
Jarvis replied, "The signal is coming from a cave. Drone No. 7 lost contact after entering."
"Lost contact?" Qin Feng frowned. "Looks like I'll have to go there myself."
