The Seventh Base

"You didn’t ask me," Ge Qing responded.

"You’re sure you’re not a Transcendent, right?" Xu Mo asked.

Ge Qing looked at Xu Mo and said, "I can control the mechanical devices here and control you at any time."

"???" Xu Mo looked at Ge Qing, "I don’t understand what you mean."

"Based on your tone and expression, as well as your recent experiences, I deduce that you currently exhibit a certain level of aggressiveness, hence the warning," Ge Qing explained.

"Are you really not a robot?" Xu Mo asked.

"No," Ge Qing answered.

Xu Mo looked carefully and indeed, she was not.

"Then can you guess what I’m thinking right now?" Xu Mo asked.

"Hmm?" Ge Qing looked at Xu Mo, not understanding her point.

Then she saw Xu Mo give her a strange smile before turning and walking into the Cultivation Room.

Not bad.

Upon entering the training room again, Xu Mo had learned from her earlier lesson and started training from the first level, setting each session to one hour and gradually increasing the training level.

Xu Mo trained for one hour at level one, four hours at level two, and six hours at level three.

For the first three levels, the Gravity Space wasn’t activated.

After twelve hours of training, Xu Mo was utterly exhausted.

Before leaving, Ge Qing gave him another shot.

Xu Mo wondered how many times she had been given injections today—would she develop a liking for it?

When Xu Mo returned to her room, she saw that Tanis had also returned, with many valuable items on him, clearly having a fruitful day with the Domineering Shield Team.

"Xu Mo," Tanis called out.

"How does it feel?" Xu Mo asked.

"The team leader was very nice to me," Tanis said, handing over his equipment to Xu Mo to check, "He was picking equipment and Combat Skills suited for me all day. I chose a few, do you want to help me review them and provide some advice?"

Xu Mo’s heart twitched.

Is it still not too late to quit the Divine Sword Team?

"I’m busy," Xu Mo said, opening the door.

"Xu Mo, what’s with the bruises on you?" Tanis asked.

"Get lost..." Xu Mo muttered as she entered the room, then Tanis heard the door slam shut.

"Such a temper?" Tanis muttered looking at the closed door. Had he provoked Xu Mo?

It seemed not!

Upon entering the room, Xu Mo immediately picked up the Communicator to contact Yang Lan.

"Xu Mo, how do you feel?" Yang Lan asked.

"Not good," Xu Mo responded, "I want to change assistants."

"Assistant?" Yang Lan asked.

"A certain Ms. Ge," Xu Mo replied.

"You mean Ge Qing," Yang Lan laughed, "She’s not an assistant, she’s a member of the Divine Sword Team."

"Didn’t you say she isn’t a Transcendent?" Xu Mo asked.

"But she is intelligent," Yang Lan said, "Xu Mo, Ge Qing is pretty, and her skin is nice. Others would envy such a teammate, try to get along well."

"Goodbye," Xu Mo hung up, thinking about facing Ge Qing with a syringe every day, Xu Mo felt a psychological shadow forming.

Then, Xu Mo dialed Ye Qingdie’s number.

"Xu Mo," Ye Qingdie called out.

"Sister Butterfly, how are you feeling?" Xu Mo asked, feeling a bit nostalgic for Sister Butterfly...seeing Ge Qing had made Xu Mo recognize Sister Butterfly’s goodness.

"I’m recovering quickly, I can walk normally now," Ye Qingdie replied.

"That’s good," Xu Mo was somewhat reassured.

"How’s it over there, are there many impressive people in the Divine Sword Bureau?" Ye Qingdie asked curiously.

"Not really," Xu Mo replied.

"Why?" Ye Qingdie laughed, "It seems you hold some resentment. Were you bullied?"

"How is that possible? Only I bully others," Xu Mo said.

"Yeah," Ye Qingdie nodded.

"Sister Butterfly, I heard that the people from the Divine Sword Bureau can go to other planets. It seems I won’t have to struggle to raise money myself anymore," Xu Mo said.

"Is that so?" Ye Qingdie was somewhat surprised, which meant Xu Mo could go to other planets now.

"But we still need to raise money to buy our own starship in the future," Ye Qingdie added, as stuff from the Divine Sword Bureau was for official use, not personal.

"That’s true," Xu Mo nodded. The task was still daunting.

"Sister Butterfly, if I have the chance to go out, I’ll take you with me," Xu Mo said.

"I’ll be waiting," Ye Qingdie said with a smile.

After hanging up the communicator with Ye Qingdie, Xu Mo’s communicator vibrated again. It was from Stark Hao.

"Why haven’t you been answering?" Stark Hao asked.

"Training," Xu Mo replied gruffly.

"You got into the Divine Sword Bureau?" Stark Hao asked.

"Of course," Xu Mo said.

"Which team?" Stark Hao inquired, obviously knowing quite a bit.

"The Divine Sword Team," Xu Mo said.

"No way," Stark Hao said.

"If you don’t believe it, hang up," Xu Mo said.

"Really?" Stark Hao seemed to discern that Xu Mo wasn’t bluffing.

"Find out for yourself," Xu Mo suggested.

"You passed the assessment?" Stark Hao asked.

"No need. The Divine Sword Team invited me to join," Xu Mo said.

"…" Stark Hao was skeptical and asked, "How is the Divine Sword Team?"

"Great, they assigned high-level equipment, combat skills, and even a beautiful ’assistant’ to help with training," Xu Mo said.

"…" Stark Hao was tempted and said, "Can you ask if the Divine Sword Team is still looking for people? See if they’d consider me?"

"No way, you’re not talented enough," Xu Mo said.

"Screw you!" Stark Hao cursed. "Well, make good use of the opportunity to improve your strength. Things are bad on Lancelot Star. They’re clamoring for the government to hand over people. But since you’re in the Divine Sword Bureau now, you’re not at much risk. However, these bastards massacre people on Byron Star publicly without any punishment, and now they even dare to demand people…"

Stark Hao’s voice was very angry. Many of those who died were from his Stark Group.

But there was little they could do against Lancelot Star.

Otherwise, it would become a diplomatic incident.

If things got out of hand, it wouldn’t be easy for Byron Star either, but he felt he couldn’t swallow his anger.

"Has the Black Shield Group not been dealt with?" Xu Mo asked, equally furious. Sister Butterfly’s leg was broken by them, and afterward, they went to the hospital to kill him.

Up to now, no one had been punished, and the opposite side was even pressuring Byron Star to hand him over.

"Only the public is resisting the Black Shield Group, but now that they’re under the protection of Lancelot Star, it’s hard to deal with them. We can only slowly drive the Black Shield Group to bankruptcy. Sooner or later, they will be held accountable," Stark said, clearly upset.

"Yeah," Xu Mo responded, and after hanging up the communicator, he pondered for a moment before dialing a newly added number.

"Xu Mo," he said as soon as the call connected.

"I know," Ge Qing responded.

"You have information on Amanda. Could you assess, if three months from now, my Source Power Level reached B+ and I relied solely on my own pure strength to duel with Amanda, what are my chances of winning?" Xu Mo asked.

Having someone from the Divine Sword Bureau fight the duel for him was not very realistic; since it started with him, he should resolve it, or continue to stall. Then, the people from Lancelot Star couldn’t deal with him, but Amanda and the Black Shield Group would continue with their arrogant and unruly behavior. It was uncertain what they might do in the future.

Therefore, Xu Mo was already considering the possibility of a duel. Find more chapters on NovelBin.Côm

"Possible," Ge Qing responded. "I’ll let you know the results after the assessment."

"Thank you," Xu Mo said.

......

The next day, Lancelot Star was still pressuring Byron to hand over Xu Mo and issued a final ultimatum that if Byron Star didn’t comply, Lancelot Star would take some measures.

At that time, Mayor Liu Feng of Chuanxing City Government stated that he would announce important news to the outside world, responding to Lancelot Star regarding Xu Mo.

Suddenly, members of various alien races on Byron Star and the people of Byron Star were all paying attention. Mayor Liu Feng, what news was he going to announce? How was he planning to respond to Lancelot Star?

The public was somewhat anxious, and many people claimed that if Chuanxing City dared to hand over the person, they would collectively resist the government.
