Chapter 319: 8.46 First Blue Star – Accumulated Kill Points
Alula Celeste explained the distinction of clans with special bloodlines with Marshal Sirius. This is the result of his research while he is still in school. Alula Celeste had loved researching Quantum Beasts and bloodlines. This is the reason why he knew lots about things about the background of the four great clans and even the imperial family. Within the conversation between Alula Celeste and Marshal Sirius, things that the Federations try to hide and the truth behind the events from before were all cleared up. They spend more time talking about the future plans on how to defeat the Zerg Race. They didn’t even notice that outside this beehive chamber, the sun had longed set and the night had already descended.
Meanwhile at the hidden campsite of Feng Jing’s group.
Lin Yven and everyone else we’re busy making dinner for the whole group while waiting for the others to return. Wu Liu and Si Shen were helping Lin Yven to cook the rice and soup. The Shi brothers were at the pond washing the plates and utensils for dinner preparations. Han Ling and Qu Yul were tasked to look after the roasting of various meat at the bonfire. They were roasting some beef, pork, and chicken over the fire. Qu Yul is seriously watching the roasting chicken he is cooking over the fire. While Handling is already drooling while watching over the barbeque meat he is tasked to look after.
Drools~ slurps… drooling~
Shi Wen who saw Han Ling drooling, “Woa~ your saliva. Watch your saliva, A’Ling!”
“Brother where is the towel to dry the plates?” asked Shi Lou.
Shi Wen replied, “I have it here. Wait, let me help you with that too.”
Qu Yul frowned and lightly kicked his friend beside him.
Kicked!
Ow~
“Ling, you idiot! Wipe your drool, it’s almost falling on the meat!” scolded Qu Yul.
Han Ling sat back after he was kicked and wipes his drool over his sleeves and complains, “B-But~ I’m already hungry~”
“Snack on jerky!” said Qu Yul.
“Eh~ okay~,” said Han Ling, who took out a bag of jerky to share with Qu Yul.
Their guides, Wu Liu and Si Shen approached the two and gave them a bowl of soup they were cooking.
Si Shen said as he passed it to his partner, Qu Yul, “Drink this first to remove the hunger.”
“Thanks, Shen’er,” said Qu Yul.
“Wait for a bit more, Ge. Once everyone returned to the camp we can start eating together,” said Wu Liu to Han Ling
Han Ling happily received the bowl of soup from his lover and gave him a kiss on his cheeks which made Wu Liu blush like a red tomato.
“Thank you, baby. I know you love me the most!” said Han Ling as he drank the soup like a hungry wolf.
Wu Liu stutters his words due to embarrassment and even hits his lover’s back in embarrassment, “You! Watch what you are doing!? We’re in public!”
Qu Yul, Si Shen, and Lin Yven were giving the two a teasing smile making Wu Liu’s face even redder while Han Ling is used to their friend’s teasing and just hugged his shy lover making Wu Liu hide his face on Han Ling’s chest while hugging him.
Han Ling said while laughing, “Hahaha~ okay that’s enough. You know my wife’s face is too thin-skinned… Oww!!!” he was pinched on the waist by Wu Liu.
HAHAHA~ another round of laughter resounds in the area. While they were laughing their asses out, they finally heard their seniors’ voices who just returned to the camp and witnessed them laughing.
Qu Yeon has a smile on his face when he and the rest regroup with the rest.
“You guys are having fun with us,” said Tang San.
Tang Yi said after observing the state of the five in the group. “It’s good that none of you are hurt.”
Qu Yul and Han Ling noticed that their brothers’ articles of clothing are too clean as if they haven’t fought with any zerg for today but they also noticed that they were wearing different clothing from what they normally wear. They were all wearing clothes worn when one rides a mecha.
Qu Yul asked, “Dage, you’ve used your mecha?”
“Oh, you guys are wearing your mecha armor! Did you really use your mechas!?” asked Han Ling with an envious gaze.
Shi Lou and Shi Wen welcomed them.
“Welcome back. Give us your armor and we’ll get it clean and purified after dinner,” said Shi Lou.
Shi Wen said, “Take a rest first. Dinner would be served when Lord Jing returns.”
Qu Yeon and the rest of the seniors nodded. Solaris Vega comes running towards Lin Yven for a hug. He was closest to Lin Yven as they are childhood friends.
“Wua~ Yven~ I saw a Guardian Class Zerg firsthand. It’s really huge, even bigger than a 3 floored building!” said Solaris Vega.
Lin Yven hugged back this innocent baby and comforted him. “Calm down, didn’t you guys defeat it already. You did great Xiao Vega,” he said.
Xue Ran averted his eyes at this scene. He is jealous that Solaris Vega isn’t timid towards Lin Yven and Feng Jing but a bit careful around him. Lin Yven flashes a smirk towards Xue Ran as he knows that this person is interested in his little cabbage. Unfortunately, he and the leader wouldn’t be willing to give away this little genius. Well at least until their little cabbage reached the right age for marriage.
Moreover, Solaris Vega is an orphan who enters the First Military Academy in scholarship after he graduated the Feng Clan had decided to adopt him upon Feng Jing’s request. Lin Yven at the beginning was planning to ask his family to adopt Solaris Vega but in this event him being a Mechanic Genius had already spread there would be Clans stronger than his Lin Clan who would want him. Thankfully, their leader, Feng Jing, likes Vega a lot and doted on him the same way he does. Solaris Vage should enter a clan that will treat him as a family than a tool for military use.
Qu Yeon and the rest joined the others around the bonfire and told them what happened in the guardian bee zergs chamber. When they learned that zergs are able to enter a sleep state for meditating training they were stunned. But was even more astonished when their seniors said there is a real Guardian class Zerg living in that beehive.
Han Ling exclaimed, “You guys fought a real Guardian Class Zerg!? Ah~ so unfair I wanted to fight too!!!”
The Tang twins pats his shoulders and said, “You’ll get your fun when we enter the Central Region.”
“Actually we also think there’s a royal class zerg in the beehive. This is why Lord Jing separated from us,” said Tang Si in a whispering tone. The group is still hiding the fact that the strongest person in their group is not Qu Yeon but Feng Jing, the real leader of this group.
“T-Then did Lord Jing kill the Queen bee then!?” whispered Si Shen.
Tang San replied, “Actually, we aren’t sure. Should we check our group’s KP points history?”
“That could be checked! Why didn’t you say so!?” said Tang Yi.
Tang San said, “Wu~ don’t hit me anymore.”
Everyone crowded and lowered their heads together in a circle. For those who didn’t know what they were doing might think they are doing some kind of ritual when in reality they were only excited about their accumulated points and wanted to check their current points. Thus, they only decided to check their team’s accumulated points in Qu Yeon’s communicator.
Qu Yeon, “I will open it up now okay. You guys should calm down. Don’t over-react,” It was only when he saw his teammates nod their heads that Qu Yeon made his move.
Clicking the template for the KP Platform, the whole team saw a crown on their leader’s name on the KP List board. They were once again ranked #1 with 188,000 Kill Points. The gap points between the first and second rank are almost 100,000 KP. The strongest senior team had collected 89,999 KP and ranked second to their group.
Tang San screamed, “What the fuck!? 18——!Mmpf!!!” Everyone covered his loudmouthed teammate who wanted to shout their score to the world.
“You idiot! Didn’t Yeon say not to scream!?” scolded Tang Yi to his twin brother.
But this high score left them stunned and speechless. Their score is too high to be compared to the Seniors of the academy who had long trained earlier than then and would become cadets as soon as they’ve graduated. They once again lowered their heads and converse silently.
Tang Si said, “These points are too high. even if we added the 50,000 KP we got from killing the Guardian Class zerg from before there is no way we could get more than 100,000 KP points in just two days.”
“Check the points history. We should be allowed to see our group’s points of history, right?” said Xue Ran.
Qu Yeon nodded his head and opened their KP list of history. As they opened the records the latest one is the record of Qu Yeon’s group defeating the Guardian class zergs then the four high class zerg they found sleeping at the chamber. Next is the tons of list of low and middle level zergs Qu Yul and his small team had massacred then Lin Yven’s name who killed two middle class zerg guarding the door to the warehouse and the groups of high leveled ones protecting the warehouse secretly inside which he was able to put to sleep thanks to the concoction from his friend, Vega.
Solaris Vega said, “You’ve killed high-level zergs alone, Yven! Your amazing~”
“This is thanks to the sleeping concoction you ask me to bring just in case. I threw some inside for thorough checking just in case there are guards inside. I was also surprised to see there are really shadow-type zergs inside. I killed them while they were asleep.” said Lin Yven.
Bai Yuyan said, “You’re brave. You are alone at that time but thankfully you’re cautious as always.”
“You do know that I’m quite a cautious person. I also work as a scout before. It’s just a usual routine for me.” said Lin Yven with a smile.
Qu Yeon said, “Since you have scouting experience we can let you do some scouting next time as well. You don’t mind?”
“It will be an honor. As long as you trust me, I will do my best,” replied Lin Yven.
Tang Si said, “Good. Now we won’t have to worry. With an experienced scout in the group, traps would no longer be a problem. We usually let my brothers check the surroundings but they aren’t real scouts but vanguard so they would sometimes step on traps.”
“Hehehe~ Well who would know there would be a trap in such a normal place. I couldn’t even see anything weird when moving forward that time,” said Tang San while scratching his head.
While the others were having a conversation, the Shi brothers and the rest were checking the records of their KP, they suddenly exclaimed and got everyone’s attention.
“FOUND IT!”
Han Ling said, “W-What did you find for you to shout in-group like that!?”
“Ge, here. Look here. The next ones are the records of the leader’s kills!” said Wu Liu while pointing at the records where Feng Jing’s killings are recorded.
Everyone was speechless when they saw the records of deaths for countless middle and high-level zergs. Moreover, according to the record, the duration of their fight is only a split second. In short, these zergs were all killed in one attack from Feng Jing.
Qu Yul commented, “There’s this much high-level zerg on the way to the Queen bee’s chambers.”
“This is normal. That’s the Queen’s room, there is no way it wouldn’t have High class zergs as guards while the main guards were asleep,” said Xue Ran.
Tang Yi commented, “No wonder those four Bee Guards were asleep.”
“This… look at this!” said Bai Yuyan as he saw what they were looking for. It’s the death record for the Queen Bee.
Tang Si said, “As expected she is a royal ranked one. But for Lord Jing to defeat her in a manner for a few minutes, this…. is this for real?”
“It’s real. My lord’s bloodline isn’t for show. He can use both the bloodline skill of Feng and Xue Clan.” said Feng Wu.
Xue Ran said, “Is this true!? Even the Xue’s special bloodline!?”
“Yes. He can use it even before he awakens,” said Feng Wu.
Then silence once again descended in the area. They were both speechless in awe and disbelief.
