Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 38 A Good Man

"No, no, no!" Zhuge Tao quickly said, "With your talent, once headquarters finds out, they will definitely send people in person. They will inevitably have to come into contact with you, so Brother Lan, don't worry."

Jiang Lan shrugged.

He knew it.

This increase in speed will definitely attract the attention of martial arts schools.

However, Jiang Lan had lost interest in such formalities.

Giving him money or resources used to make him happy for a while.

But after spending three days alone in the wilderness, the resources of the secular world no longer held any appeal for Jiang Lan.

To put it more abstractly, his goal is the stars and the sea.

Seeing that Jiang Lan remained silent, Zhuge Tao assumed he was unwilling and quickly said:

"Don't worry, Brother Lan, you're like a brother to me. Let me call headquarters and see what they say first. As for the wilderness area, I'll take you there after things are settled here! I'll even find you two beautiful female bodyguards!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan's lips twitched.

How can you brag so much? Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?

And a beautiful female bodyguard, the God of War.

Zhuge Tao is a high-ranking general. Where would he get the connections to get two beautiful female bodyguards?

On Earth today, there are far too few war gods, and even fewer female war gods.

Beauty……

Let's put it this way: even if you searched the whole world with a lantern, you probably wouldn't find many like them.

However, given Zhuge Tao's current state, it would be disrespectful for him to head towards the wilderness area now.

Let's wait and see, it won't take long anyway.

"become."

Seeing that Jiang Lan agreed, Zhuge Tao hurriedly took out his phone, "I'll report it right now, immediately!"

As he spoke, he dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and a male voice answered from the other end.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother! Can you get in touch with the Master?"

"What's wrong with you now, kid? You're always looking for the Master. Last time, I had to go to Inspector Liu to get that little genius from your jurisdiction reported. What's going on this time?"

"Gulp..." Zhuge Tao swallowed hard. "This time it's a genius."

The male voice on the other end of the phone chuckled, "A genius? How great? A war god?"

"Intermediate War God"

"Then what... is that?"

Zhuge Tao spoke very quickly: "The intermediate-level War God is Jiang Lan, the one you reported last time. He stayed in the wilderness for three days and was tested today. His strength is that of an intermediate-level War God."

"I'm your own brother, are you just messing with me for no reason?"

"No, really... Intermediate War God."

"Data! Give me the test data!" The man on the other end of the phone was also anxious.

Zhuge Tao had already memorized the data from earlier, and upon hearing the question, he answered without hesitation:

"Strength 173268 kg, speed 582.27 m/s, intermediate-level War God reaction speed test was hit twice, excellent results."

"You better not be joking with me, or I'll give you a piece of my mind when I get home!"

"My dear brother, when have I ever joked with you about something like this? If you don't believe me, you can come anytime. The test records are all there."

"Alright, that's enough. My position doesn't allow me to contact the Master directly. I'll contact Inspector Liu first and get back to you in a bit."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhuge Tao's reply, the other end hurriedly hung up the phone.

……

Inside a luxuriously decorated villa, a middle-aged man dressed in battle armor, with a resolute face, looked solemn as he dialed a number on his still-held cell phone.

A moment later, the call connected.

Without any preamble, the middle-aged man got straight to the point:

"Inspector Liu, that young man I told you about last time, his strength has improved again. He is now a mid-level War God. His strength test showed 170,000 kilograms and his speed test showed 580 meters per second. His performance in the mid-level War God test was excellent."

"Bang!"

A loud bang came from the other end of the phone, seemingly the sound of someone slamming their fist on a table.

"Zhuge Shan, are you sure?"

Zhuge Shan, with a solemn expression, said to the person on the other end of the phone:

"I guarantee with my life that the data is absolutely true, without the slightest falsification."

"Okay! I believe you!" The male voice on the other end of the phone continued, "But if I remember correctly, half a month ago, the genius you mentioned was only a mid-level warrior?"

"Yes..." Zhuge Shan's throat tightened a little, "I don't know the specifics either. My brother just called and told me."

"I will report this to the Master right now. If what you say is true, then we may have a remarkable genius on Earth."

"Thank you for your help, Inspector Liu."

"It's nothing troublesome, just my duty." Inspector Liu continued, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll report it to the Master."

"there is none left."

……

In a dimly lit room where the lights were off.

"God of War... are the test results accurate?"

"Okay, I understand. The Jiangnan Base City Headquarters, right?"

"Well, I'll go there myself in a bit. You should also get ready to go and call Zhuge Shan."

A man with a buzz cut, sitting on a futon, hung up the phone.

Beside him, a figure draped in a black robe and wearing a golden mask appeared out of thin air.

The man slightly raised his head, his gaze falling on the suddenly appearing figure, and asked:

"Yao Rao, when you took him to train in the wilderness before, was there anything unusual about him?"

"No." The alluring woman wearing the mask shook her head slightly and answered truthfully.

Aside from adapting to the wilderness relatively quickly, she really didn't feel that Jiang Lan had anything special about him.

As for the bet, she didn't think Jiang Lan could actually fulfill it.

Three months... no, two months.

The leap from warrior to planetary level in just two months is enormous, so much so that it's no exaggeration to describe it as an insurmountable chasm.

"Speaking of which, it seems your two families have some connection?"

Her face behind the alluring mask flushed slightly, but she wasn't too surprised that the curator knew about it.

After all, given the status and position of the museum owner, there is nothing on Earth that he wouldn't know if he wanted to.

Moreover, Yao Rao made no attempt to hide her engagement to Jiang Lan.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I took you on as my apprentice a few years ago simply because I saw your talent. As for your private life, I won't interfere with you too much."

"Thank you, Master."

Hong, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, stood up and looked at the alluring woman beside him, saying softly:

"Come on, you should come with me to take a look. That little guy is quite interesting; maybe he really is your soulmate."

She became even more shy.

Hong was both a teacher and a father figure to her.

No one would feel comfortable being told this by an elder in person.

Suppressing the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Yao Rao nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, Master."
