Chapter 53: Lan Xiaobu's Concerns
Lan Xiaobu smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations, but I also passed."
"Ah, I knew it, how could you not pass?" Ke'er exclaimed, then shouted with even more delight.
Lan Xiaobu was somewhat speechless. When had he ever said he didn't pass? It was all your own imagination, wasn't it?
"That's great." The four of us are all from Blue Asia Star, so in the future, we can form a small squad and look out for each other.
"Right, right, even if we're assigned to an unfamiliar officer, we can still join forces. The only fear is that when they're selecting people, they don't choose all four of us at the same time," Ke'er immediately said.
Qin Yue, hearing that Lan Xiaobu had passed the assessment, was also overjoyed and said, "The two of us have a flying saucer, what about you?"
Ke'er patted his chest, "I was an officer in the Battling Tide Army back then, how could I not have a flying saucer? Xiaobu is also..."
Ke'er couldn't recall which army Lan Xiaobu was in, so he instinctively looked at Lan Xiaobu. Lan Xiaobu had no choice but to say, "Peacekeeping Army."
"Right, Lan Xiaobu is a senior officer in the Peacekeeping Army, he also has a flying saucer," Ke'er said proudly.
Qin Yue said happily, "In that case, shall we meet up when we report to the Star Expedition Army in half a month?"
Watching Qin Yue and A Xu leave, Ke'er couldn't help but say, "Xiaobu, why do you think those two always want to wait for us and join the same squad as us? Could it be they fancy us... oh, or do they have some idea about our flying saucers?"
"It should be because we're all from Blue Asia Star," Lan Xiaobu didn't think they were interested in their flying saucers. Flying saucers weren't something rare here; just look at the densely parked battle shuttles outside. It was just that Ke'er treated his flying saucer like his life, which was why he thought that way. As for them fancying them, well, that's just laughable.
"Xiaobu, should we just stay here for a few days, or should we find a place to stay?" Ke'er asked.
Having joined the Star Expedition Army, he didn't mind sleeping outdoors for a few days. Besides, in this recruitment center, as long as you're a reserve recruit of the Star Expedition Army, you can eat and stay for free.
However, Lan Xiaobu didn't want to stay here. He asked, "Ke'er, do you have any money? If you do, let's find a place to stay. There are too many people here; it's not suitable for resting. It's best to find a more secluded place where no one will bother us."
"Right, right, I understand, I totally understand." Ke'er immediately remembered Lan Xiaobu's unique ability, that cheating method that could fool the first round of the Star Expedition Army's assessment was simply divine. With such a method, Lan Xiaobu naturally needed to be more cautious.
"Do you have any money?" Lan Xiaobu saw that Ke'er kept saying he understood, but the important thing was not what he understood, but whether he had money. Without money, they really could only stay here.
"Hehe, of course, I have money. Once we get into the flying saucer, I'll give you two boxes of gold. As for a place to stay, there are plenty on True Promise Star, we can just find one. Moreover, now that we're reserve soldiers of the Star Expedition Army, we're qualified to buy our own house," Ke'er chuckled, feeling extremely pleased.
...
As Ke'er said, he really had money. There were at least seven or eight boxes of gold in the flying saucer, while there wasn't much silver.
True Promise Star was vast and rich, the entire planet was even larger than Earth, with water bodies occupying only thirty percent. With such a vast land, there were less than three billion people, and many places were ownerless.
However, Lan Xiaobu wasn't looking for an ownerless and uninhabited place, but rather a sparsely populated area.
He and Ke'er soon found a small town named Lupu.
Lupu had many empty houses but not many people. A little inquiry revealed that a general had once emerged from Lupu, recruiting many soldiers there. However, this wasn't necessarily a good thing. Later, when an alien army invaded, this general participated in the battle, and the entire army was wiped out in the starry sky.
Afterward, Lupu declined, and many women who had lost their husbands gradually moved away, leaving many empty houses.
Lan Xiaobu and Ke'er chose two houses on the edge of the small town. Each house had a large area, and there was a large open space at the edge of the yard. These spaces were originally for parking various flying devices, so parking the Kunlun here didn't take up any space. After buying the house, Lan Xiaobu naturally went out to buy himself a dozen sets of clothes and shoes.
After tidying up the house a bit, Ke'er came over.
"Xiaobu... huh, did you just buy a dog?" Ke'er asked as soon as he came in, seeing Gudao.
"This is not a dog, it's called Gudao, and you can call it Gudao too," Lan Xiaobu explained.
Gudao, hearing Ke'er call it a dog, immediately let out a low growl, as if saying you are the dog, your whole family are dogs.
Hearing Gudao's growl, Ke'er laughed, "So it's a little wolf cub."
But he quickly remembered the purpose of his visit and hurriedly asked, "Xiaobu, what method did you use to give me the answers without the examiners noticing?" This matter had been stuck in his heart for a long time, and he was anxious to find out.
"It was at an auction. I originally planned to buy a Starry Sky Navigator, but I found a Brainwave Information Transmitter from a Five-Star Civilization Technological Planet inside it. I used this transmitter to give you the answers," Lan Xiaobu made up a story.
Even if he and Ke'er had become the best of friends, he wouldn't dare casually reveal the Spirit Refining Technique. The Spirit Refining Technique involved Lian, who was from the Level-5 Technological Civilization Red Thunder Star, and had an unusual identity. This wouldn't have been a problem, considering Kunlun had traversed the folding space and might be countless galaxies away from that Red Thunder Star.
However, upon arriving in this galaxy, when Lan Xiaobu realized he could fully understand the languages of both Blue Asia Star and True Promise Star, he felt a bit uneasy. This indicated that Lian might be familiar with this galaxy, and if Lian was familiar with it, it meant that Red Thunder Star wasn't far from here.
Because of this concern, he hadn't dared to mention the words "Red Thunder Star" until now. If anyone found out that he had killed Lian, not only he but even True Promise Star could be reduced to ashes.
Ke'er opened his mouth wide, looking at Lan Xiaobu with envy. After a long while, he said, "Xiaobu, in the future, we'll be in the same squad, and our lives will be tied together. Your good thing will give us many more chances of survival, but your strength is too weak. Your strength is at the bottom of the entire Star Expedition Army. Do you know why my strength is so great? Because I have a boxing technique called the Flying Bull Fist. Starting today, I'll teach you the Flying Bull Fist, and in a year or two, you'll definitely make great progress."
Flying Bull Fist? Lan Xiaobu shook his head, "I have something better than the Flying Bull Fist. I didn't want to show off during the assessment. Instead of you teaching me, I should teach you. My cultivation method is called Pure Yang Infinite Technique. You can learn from me..."
Pure Yang Infinite is a martial art from the Wudang Sect, but Lan Xiaobu hadn't practiced it; he practiced the Muscle-Tendon Altering Sutra. Now that he had met Ke'er, he might as well let Ke'er practice it. True Promise Star had some faint spiritual qi, though not as much as Earth after the spiritual qi gradually recovered, but it was enough for Ke'er to cultivate inner qi.
Ke'er looked at Lan Xiaobu speechlessly, "Xiaobu, we've been through thick and thin together to get to True Promise Star, why are you still concerned about face in front of me?"
"Are you going to learn or not?" Lan Xiaobu asked again.
"No, I'm going out to buy some meat. You see, Gudao looks a bit thin, you should give more meat to Gudao. Gudao, why don't you come with me to eat meat?" Ke'er didn't wait for Lan Xiaobu to answer and quickly left.
What a joke, Lan Xiaobu could only punch with one horsepower, what kind of good cultivation method could such a weakling have? With the time spent practicing Pure Yang something Infinite, he might as well practice the Flying Bull Fist more.
Hearing about eating meat, Gudao was already drooling. Although it had survived on the flying saucer, it was only just surviving. Now that there was meat to eat, it immediately looked at Lan Xiaobu eagerly.
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand, "Go with Ke'er, but don't disturb me when I am cultivating. If there's nothing to eat, just go to Ke'er."
Hearing Lan Xiaobu's permission, Gudao immediately put on a cute face and quickly followed Ke'er out. Having meat to eat was the most important thing, as long as there was meat, it didn't mind being called a dog or even a worm.
