In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 76 The Team in the Human Federation

What appears to be a life-or-death struggle in the other world is actually a battle that Shen Xing is absolutely confident in.

Even during that close-quarters battle, they were still wearing protective suits.

Fighting armed forces is somewhat different.

Although he was very confident, there were still variables.

No one knows what weapon the other side will pull out.

It can only be said that once he embarks on the path of martial arts, he will have to face this kind of battle sooner or later. It is necessary to get used to it first. Moreover, instantaneous cross-world teleportation has always been his greatest guarantee of safety.

However, preparations should still be as thorough as possible.

Shen Xing thought for a moment and sent a message to Xiao Ling.

Do you know what a spider web is?

Xiaoling was clearly waiting for her beloved boss to arrive, and she kept an eye on the communication system, replying instantly.

"How did the boss know this name?"

"You knew?" Shen Xing was somewhat surprised.

"Of course, the boss got that drone electromagnetic machine gun from the spider web." Xiaoling replied quickly. "Those people are still looking for me, but don't worry, boss, I've been very careful."

Shen Xing was taken aback.

Is that really such a coincidence?

After all this time, it turns out this wasn't his first time dealing with this armed force.

"Is that so? Then you don't need to worry." Shen Xing sent a message directly, "I joined the disciplinary department and teamed up with a friend to take on a mission. The target is this 'spider web'."

"!!!"

Xiaoling sent three exclamation marks in a row.

This shows how shocked she was.

Then came a barrage of information.

"Boss, you're actually a member of the disciplinary committee!"

"Wait, boss, you're already training your bones?"

"Boss, give me a moment to process this, this surprise is just too big!"

"."

"Okay, I'm all better now."

"However, boss, the Spider Web is not easy to deal with. They've recently acquired a lot of powerful items, and many people have fallen victim to them. They've amassed a huge amount of cultivation resources and recruited many powerful martial artists, including some currently enrolled in the martial arts academy!"

Shen Xing frowned slightly as he read to the end.

This situation was also mentioned in the intelligence sent by Nangong Jinyi.

Many of these martial artists were either controlled or voluntarily lured into joining.

You are very likely to encounter this during a battle.

Clearly, this will be a battle of outnumbered forces to capture the enemy.

"Do you have any way of knowing the specific armed situation within their ranks?" Shen Xing asked.

On this point, Nangong Jinyi's intelligence did not provide detailed information.

But Shen Xing felt that Xiao Ling might have a solution.

Sure enough, Xiaoling replied directly, "No problem. I have an old friend in there, but he's been wanting to quit. He helped me out last time."

"Okay." Shen Xing was slightly pleased. "We'll discuss the details when I arrive."

"Okay, welcome, boss (smiley face)."

After ending the chat, Shen Xing took another closer look at the information sent by Nangong Jinyi.

A significant portion of this document describes the atrocities committed by this armed group.

To be honest, it's quite shocking.

Especially the leaders, apart from not causing any deaths, they were almost lawless in everything they did. Even by Shen Xing's standards of morality and law from his previous life, some of these people should have been executed.

However, in this era, their fate is not much better. Simply staying in a special school until graduation is definitely not enough. They will most likely be sent to some junkyard planet to scavenge for the rest of their lives, or die in such a place early on.

Just as Shen Xing was pondering, the bus was about to arrive at the station.

Xiaoling's school district is District 5, a "slacker" school district with no special features. It looks relatively clean, but there are significantly more garbage collection machines than usual. Many of them are diligently cleaning up graffiti on the walls. There are very few students coming and going, and most of them have listless eyes and look dejected.

Shen Xing had heard Xiao Ling say that most students in their school district were addicted to virtual games and indulged in excessive entertainment.

They only think about having fun for a few years, and few people think about what to do after graduation.

However, even in such an atmosphere, there are always some students who are unwilling to accept defeat, and these people are Xiaoling's main "customers".

Among them were students who had been eliminated by the Martial Arts Academy.

Just as Shen Xing got off the bus, he saw Xiao Ling waiting on the platform, with two nervous-looking teenagers following behind her.

"Boss! Over here!" Xiaoling ran over excitedly.

"Hmm." Shen Xing looked her over for a moment, then smiled. "Mid-stage Skin Refinement? Not bad."

As he learned more and more martial arts concepts and his soul grew stronger, he was able to roughly discern the strength of weaker individuals, just like Nangong Jinyi had done before.

Of course, this only applies to the skin-training phase.

It is mainly achieved by sensing the amount of vital energy within the body.

The fact that Xiaoling was able to reach the mid-stage of the Skin Refining Realm in just about a month shows that she has been very diligent in her training.

This is crucial.

Even with Shen Xing's trust, he lacks the strength to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

He regarded Xiaoling as an important member of the team he had built within the Federation of Humanities.

It concerns maximizing the interests of both sides.

"It's not just the mid-stage of Skin Refinement!" Xiaoling even spun around in front of Shen Xing, excitedly saying, "I've also grown taller! I've grown a full 1.4 or 1.5 centimeters!"

"Really? Congratulations." Shen Xing smiled, then looked at the two people behind her. "Are they your original two subordinates?"

"That's right, they don't want their old names anymore either. Boss, just call them Ah Da and Ah Er." Xiao Ling kicked one of them. "What are you standing there for? Call him Boss."

"Hello, boss!" Both men had their hands tied behind their backs, their muscles tense, and their faces flushed, clearly extremely nervous.

They knew perfectly well that their boss's current status and wealth were all thanks to the woman in front of them.

Moreover, they had also watched the previous video.

First place among freshmen in District 32!

Even the worst student knows the weight of this title.

They were truly outstanding talents, ranking among the best in the entire Linjiang School!

It's impossible not to be nervous when someone you only hear about online or in conversations is now standing right in front of you, and he's your boss.

"Useless." Xiaoling said sternly, then kicked each of them again. "You keep saying you want to see the boss, but when you actually do, you can't even say 'boss' properly."

Their faces flushed even more.

Shen Xing simply watched this scene with a smile, without saying anything.

But he could tell that Xiaoling still had a certain air of authority.

That's good.

If we consider these people as a company, Xiaoling is his handpicked CEO. If she can't control her subordinates and lacks authority, then she's incompetent.

"Alright," Shen Xing said. "There are other people, just take me to show up. I'm here today mainly to support you."

"Understood!" Xiaoling naturally understood this as well. She clenched her fists and took several deep breaths before she could suppress her emotions.

Everything she has now makes her incredibly content.

And all of this was brought to her by the boss in front of her.

However, Xiaoling didn't express her gratitude verbally; instead, she acted swiftly and decisively.

Clearly, she knew what Shen Xing wanted to see: to showcase her best side.

"We don't have a name yet, but we've already formed a system. All our staff are mainly divided into three departments: production, sales, and security, and we adopt a cross-management approach," Xiaoling explained as she led the way.

Although there were already quite a few people, there was no chaos at all. Even when Shen Xing, the rumored boss, appeared, everyone stayed quietly in their places, but each of them looked very excited.

They all knew that this boss was the biggest pillar that allowed this place to exist!

In Shen Xing's view, nothing else mattered. What mattered most was that there was light and hope in the eyes of these people.

This is undoubtedly the most precious thing to them.

For Shen Xing, it also means recognition, loyalty, and potential.

"You did a good job."

Shen Xing didn't waste too much time; he simply praised Xiao Ling in person.

Upon arriving at the "office" and closing the door, he said directly, "Next, I will open a Nebula Sub-account to hold all your earnings and grant you access to it."

"The boss?" Xiaoling was surprised.

"Actually, I don't need this much money anymore," Shen Xing said with a smile, projecting his personal terminal to show her his Nebula account.

Xiaoling stared at the string of zeros on the screen, and her breath caught in her throat.

But instead of a pleasant surprise, her face turned deathly pale.

That's the kind of money she could possibly earn for her boss over a year and a half!

The greatest value she can create for the boss right now is making money. If the boss doesn't need money, then she's useless, isn't she?

"Don't worry." Shen Xing looked at Xiao Ling's expression and knew what she was thinking. He smiled and said, "This little bit of money is useless now, but it doesn't mean we won't be short of money in the future. It's just that I'm more lacking in trustworthy people right now."

"..." Xiaoling's expression slowly regained some color. She pursed her lips and asked very seriously, "Boss, what kind of manpower do you need?"

"Anything is fine with you?" Shen Xing asked rhetorically.

"I'm fine with anything!" Xiaoling answered resolutely. "The boss gave me this opportunity and changed my destiny. I'll stick with him for the rest of my life no matter what!"

Even without software analysis, Shen Xing could tell that, at least at this moment, these words represented Xiao Ling's truest thoughts.

that's enough.

Although people's hearts are fickle, trust is also built up little by little.

"I need all kinds of people." Shen Xing sat upright in his chair, looking at her with deep eyes. "I need combat, management, and even technical personnel. To be more precise, I need a team that can help me reach the pinnacle of martial arts."
