Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 1040 First Patrol Mission (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
After the banquet, the team leader began to establish connections with his team members.

Lynch did the same, starting to add his team members' accounts.

Because each member's account is displayed on the large projected screen.

He added them one by one.

He pulled all ten members of his team into a newly created group chat.

I gave a brief greeting and then started diving.

Kai, on the other hand, was exceptionally excited, chatting with the other members and enlivening the atmosphere. They quickly became acquainted, and Kai even brought them over to eat together.

The other squads experienced the same thing.

He returned to his small estate to prepare for tomorrow's patrol mission.

Shortly after I returned, my second senior brother, Horton, also called me via video.

"drop!"

A large blue screen was projected, and Horton's rugged face appeared on the other side.

"Junior brother, how are you feeling?"

Lin Qi smiled and replied, "Everything is fine now."

"And we'll be starting our patrols tomorrow."

Horton took a sip of his wine and laughed:
"That's how it is on the battlefield; you won't have much time to adapt."

"The situation can change in an instant, and we must be prepared at any time."

"At the same time, we must also be prepared for our own downfall."

"More than 10,000 members joined today because we are so short of people."

"It's because the current situation is very bad."

"The Dongle system is the most dangerous region because it is close to the territories of the Prison Clan and the Insect Clan."

"Among them, the Prison Clan has a very strong reproductive capacity, it's extremely crazy."

"Sometimes, even knowing there is danger, they still choose to plunder our human members."

"And the attacks against us humans will become increasingly frenzied."

"This leads to an increasing number of attacks on members of patrol teams."

“Patrols are a frequent occurrence, especially when encountering powerful forces.”

"Some people choose to back down and retire directly when faced with such a situation."

"And some perished on the battlefield."

"And now the configuration of the Fallen Squad has increased from four squads per group to five squads."

"The number of people may continue to increase in the future."

"But being on your team, and the rest of your group members, is really lucky."

"I actually ran into a legendary genius like you, someone with royal-level combat power, who's mixed in here playing the role of someone from the fourth realm of the universe."

"Someone like you is practically invincible on the border."

"In the past, it has been extremely rare for the Five Realms of the Universe to come and plunder our human race."

"If ordinary beings at the fifth level of the universe are like this, let alone those at the title level."

Such cases are extremely rare.

"As for royal-level combat power, it is unlikely to appear."

"It's also unlikely to happen."

"Those at this level already possess their own dignity as strong individuals; they wouldn't do such a thing."

"Of course, nothing is absolute."

"But there is no danger for you at all."

"Other races would be really unlucky if they encountered you."

Lin Qi smiled and said:

"What you're saying makes some sense."

"However, if any member of our group were to perish, it would indeed be my fault."

"I will protect my teammates."

Second Senior Brother Horton nodded and said:

"If you have time, you can give them some pointers."

"Some team members voluntarily chose to come to the Dongle system; they have the determination and courage to become stronger."

"Although my talent isn't strong enough to enter the supreme forces."

"But that doesn't mean they have no future."

"Apart from our nine supreme powers, most of the beings at the fifth level of the universe born from other powers were honed on the battlefield of territories."

"They kill enemies, gain contribution points, exchange them for many resources and inheritances, and also have their own opportunities."

"With your guidance, their future will be even brighter."

"With your level of understanding, which is higher than mine, you are more than capable of guiding them."

Lin Qi nodded and smiled:

"Don't worry, Second Senior Brother, even if you don't tell me, I will still guide them."

Second Senior Brother Horton nodded and said:

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore."

"The teacher has some matters to attend to and has left the Dongle base, but he still comes back occasionally."

"And we have become the captains of the East District, responsible for managing you."

"If anyone tries to use their power to intimidate others, you should talk to me."

"Try not to expose yourself."

Lin Qi nodded and said, "I understand."

After finishing the video call, I hung up.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, let out a breath.

Should they offer advice to others? That depends on their character.

However, he did think Kai was pretty good.

Perhaps I can give him some pointers.

As for the others, it depends on the situation, and since everyone's awakened abilities are different, the effect of guidance may not be very strong.

For them, the most important thing is to save their lives and earn more contribution points.

……

The next day, at Dongle Base Airport.

On the vast and boundless airport, countless spaceships and fighter jets were parked.

Meanwhile, many members rode in transport vehicles past one spaceship after another.

Lynch, Gina, Kai, and a few others also went to the airport together.

Some of them were members of two-person teams.

Clad in a silver robe, Kai had been chatting with someone. Looking at the distant deep-space warship, he spoke:
"The deep-space warship we are on may need to rest for a while."

"Then we will send back some members who have chosen to retire or take leave to return to their hometowns."

The others nodded; they were unsure about some of the situations and would appreciate it if someone could explain them.

Lynch shared the same view.

Suddenly, a huge spaceship came into view.

This is a spaceship shaped like a giant sword, with a triangular sword in the middle and a broad fuselage on both sides, like wings.

Together, they possess a strong, sharp edge.

It seemed to be able to pierce through the void.

It reached a length of one kilometer and was entirely blood red. Although it was far smaller than a deep-space warship, it was still very large.

Lynch unleashed his senses, scanning the entire spaceship.

The metals used above are also quite good.

Although not as good as its own Taixing, it is still a very good spaceship in the universe.

The existence of the four realms of the universe makes it quite difficult to destroy them.

It simply cannot withstand attacks from the five realms of the universe.

Dozens of figures were already waiting in front of the spaceship.

"Buzz!"

The transport vehicle stopped, and everyone got off and came to the spaceship.

Kai looked at the spaceship and exclaimed in amazement:

"This must be the Blood Sword spaceship!" Kai introduced it to the crowd.

"This is our patrol team's standard spaceship—the Blood Sword!"

"It possesses a variety of top-of-the-line equipment and detection systems, with speeds reaching the speed of light, and is equipped with weapon systems..."

At this moment, a deep voice rang out from the crowd:

"You're quite well-informed!"

Then everyone looked at the owner of the voice, a tall, strong man with a clear scar on his face.

He had golden hair, a thick beard, and wore a black suit of armor.

At the same time, there were clear black marks on the exposed skin.

When he stood up, he was noticeably taller than the others, reaching four meters.

He has many similarities with the Chief of Staff of the General Staff.

"Squadron Captain!"

Many people greeted him, and Kai recognized the man.

Lin Qi also looked at the person. The other person's temperament was very similar to someone he knew, namely Gutaio.

The other person might simply be a civilized person.

The other person stepped out from the crowd and laughed heartily:
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself."

“My name is Gure, and I am one of the two squadron leaders in area D-36.”

"Now serving as the squadron leader of the second group."

"That means you'll all be under my control from now on."

"I'm easy to talk to. As long as it doesn't violate the rules, I won't say anything."

"However, if you break the rules, don't blame me for being impolite."

After he finished speaking, his expression instantly turned serious, and a fierce aura emanated from him.

Each squadron leader is someone who has spent many years on the battlefield and possesses peak strength at the fourth level of the universe to be qualified for the position.

Moreover, this is in the Dongle star system, the most dangerous frontier region.

Gu Lei's ability to serve as a squadron leader speaks volumes about his strength.

Moreover, according to Kai's information.

Gu Lei still comes from one of the nine supreme powers.

This is completely different from the existence of the other four realms of the universe.

Their combat power will undoubtedly be even greater.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Then Gu Lei immediately suppressed his aura and revealed a hearty smile, as if nothing had just happened.

However, he still glanced at Lin Qi secretly.

He released his pressure earlier to test the strength of the team members.

A person's strength can be judged by their ability to resist pressure.

Among them, Gina and Lynch, both beings at the fourth level of the universe, stood out the most.

Lynch, on the other hand, was quite unexpected.

He showed no reaction whatsoever, which was clearly not the reaction expected of an ordinary being at the fourth level of the universe.

This made him somewhat suspicious of the other party's background.

They might come from one of the nine supreme powers, just like me.

Gu Lei didn't intend to expose him.

After all, some of the geniuses from the nine supreme powers prefer to hone their skills on the battlefield incognito.

He himself was no exception.

Although over a long period of time, the strength he displayed also revealed his background.

Then he looked at Lynch and Gina and said:
"You two must be the new squad leaders. Welcome to the team."

"Hello, Captain Gu!"

Lin Qi greeted them with a smile, and Gina nodded and greeted them in return.

Gure then greeted each of the other new members one by one.

This made everyone feel flattered.

I never expected that Gu Lei would know his name so clearly.

He was a peak existence in the fourth realm of the universe, and there was a huge gap in status between him and the others in other star regions of the human race.

I didn't expect them to be so enthusiastic.

"Alright, everyone, get on the spaceship!"

"It's time for us to get started on our mission."

Gu Lei spoke, the cabin door opened, and all the crew members boarded.

A total of 56 people entered the control room lobby.

This is a spacious hall with a large number of smart chairs.

Upon entering, each team spontaneously gathered together and sat down.

After they sat down, a smart robot poured them drinks.

Gu Lei sat in the middle, pointing at three of them. These three had a significantly stronger aura than the others.

They were squad leaders with the strength of the fourth level of the universe.

First up is a bald man sitting on the far right, with rugged and fierce features and a pair of sharp fangs.

Clad in crimson armor, he resembled an orc.

The second person is a woman with striking features, bluish skin, delicate features, a tall and voluptuous figure, and deep-set eyes.

He exudes strong mental fluctuations, indicating he is a mentalist.

The last one was a rather handsome man, clad in silver armor, with a smile always on his face and bright eyes; he was also a mentalist.

"Let me introduce the members of the other teams."

"First up is Haibo, the captain of the 6th squad!"

[Zula, the leader of the 7th squad!]

[The captain of the 8th squad—Hodgson!]

……

Like an orc, Hai Bo raised his hand in a simple greeting, while a warning look appeared on his rugged face as he said:

"Hello, newcomers."

"Hopefully, they can be reliable and won't drag us down with them."

"Previous team members acted without authorization, which implicated other team members and resulted in the loss of many members."

"Some of the remaining team members have chosen to retire directly."

"I hope you will not repeat the same mistakes."

These words immediately created a serious atmosphere.

At this moment, Zula, with her blue skin and delicate features, spoke up with a smile:
"Don't mind him, that's just Haibo's personality."

"He's just a very straightforward person, but he's still very trustworthy."

"Yang Jian, Gina, welcome to our arrival."

"However, we are in Sector D-36, which is one of the most dangerous areas in Sector 351."

"Each time, quite a few team members have fallen."

"The reason for adding new members to the squad this time is because a newly arrived member violated discipline and was killed."

"So we added a squad and recruited another squad."

“We have now begun patrol missions and may encounter other races at any time.”

“They will show no mercy to us humans.”

"This is not a virtual world; one wrong move and you could perish."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

At this moment, Hodgson, with his upright posture and handsome face, smiled and said:
"However, our group is relatively safe."

"Now that we have an additional squad, we're even stronger."

"Moreover, Captain Gu's strength is very reliable. With him around, as long as we don't try to gain merit or act rashly, we will generally be fine."

"What happened last time was just an accident."

"In short, there's no need for everyone to worry too much."
