Chapter 37: Food is the Original Sin

“Oh, that sounds great, things are pretty intense right now, and it’s time to release some inspiring videos.

Although the monsters are very powerful, as long as we unite, they are nothing but paper tigers. "

Tang Longhui gave a thumbs up to the above approach.

Instead of hiding it, it is better to let the public see the real battlefield.

Monsters actually exist and are not fictional.

Rather than covering their ears and stealing the bell, letting the lower-class people pretend to be ignorant like an ostrich, it is better to make it public.

Monsters are scary, but we humans also have wizards to protect us.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Nan Yu nodded and changed the subject.

"With your current strength, I'm afraid you have already been selected as a member of the National Government Team, right?"

"Of course. So, from what you said, besides me, someone else has been selected as a member of the National Government Team?"

Tang Longhui was a little surprised. He thought that his talent and hard work were definitely the best among his peers, but he didn't expect that there was someone who could reach the same level as him.

The reason why I have improved so fast, besides hard work and talent, the rest is just relying on resources.

If this person could reach the same level as mine, how wealthy would this person's family be?

"There is indeed one, but it is only tentative. His name is Ai Jiangtu, he is from the Northern Military Region and comes from the military family Ai Shi.

His current strength should be that of a mid-level mage, and his magic systems are space and curse.

Because of his rarity and talent, the Northern Military District is very optimistic about him.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to officially qualify as a member of the National Team next year.

Although he is a mid-level mage, he is still inferior to you in strength."

Nan Yu was naturally aware of the emerging representative of the Northern Military Region.

There is a competitive relationship among the major military regions in China.

Don't get me wrong, this is not an internal struggle, but a competition among each other for common progress.

After all, the major military regions don't want to be suppressed by others.

The top leaders are unlikely to come out to debate, so the young mages can only compete with each other to determine the winner.

In order to avoid bringing shame to their own military regions, each major military region naturally tried every means to discover talented mages in their own troops.

It can be said that this will not only provide the military with a steady stream of talent, but also allow these talents to promote cultivation through healthy competition.

After all, these people are responsible for the reputation of their military region.

As one of the representatives of the emerging mages in the Southern Military Region, Nan Yu naturally pays much attention to this aspect.

As for Ai Jiangtu, Nan Yu recognized his strength, but that didn't mean Nan Yu couldn't catch up with him.

If Ai Jiangtu is a figure that Nan Yu can catch up with, then Tang Longhui is a mountain that is out of reach.

Ai Jiangtu's strength, as long as Nan Yu is given enough time and resources, she will definitely catch up.

But after fighting side by side with Tang Longhui today, Nan Yu couldn't find any way to keep up with Tang Longhui.

Judging from the combat capability displayed by the other party today, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a high-level magician.

"Oh, by the way, there is a rumor that the military intends to let him serve as the captain of this National Government. After all, Ai Jiangtu has received systematic command training, and the higher-ups think he is more stable.

If he can break through to become a high-level mage before the government selection, then he should be the captain."

"Being able to take on the captain position after breaking through to the high-level mage?" Tang Longhui frowned. He was not very keen on power.

But Tang Longhui understood one thing: no matter how strong a person is, he cannot be above society.

Power is not very important to someone like him who is devoted to pursuing the path of magic, but that does not mean that power itself is not important.

He didn't want to become a member of the National Team and have someone nagging him.

If he is stronger than me, it's fine, but if he is weaker than me...
"It seems that the military is very optimistic about him. Well, let's put our strength to the test.

As the captain of the national team, can he not even beat his teammates?
I, Tang Longhui, am not someone who covets power, but if anyone wants to be my captain and want to command me, he has to defeat me first.

What's wrong with being able to command? Being a bad conductor is the original sin!"

"I knew you would say that."

Nan Yu smiled.

Although they had not been together for a long time, Nan Yu knew clearly that Tang Longhui was an extremely proud person.

However, the other party does have the capital to be proud. He is just a freshman, but his strength is stronger than those of the seniors, and even stronger than some veteran mid-level mages. Such a person is naturally arrogant.

Not to mention Tang Longhui, isn’t it the same for Nan Yu herself?
-
While Nan Yu, Tang Longhui and others were resting on the dam, the military team responsible for recording battlefield dynamics also noticed the situation at Songjiang Dam.

"Captain, look, the battle at Songjiang Dam is so intense. The entire river surface is dyed red with blood, and corpses and debris are scattered everywhere."

A member of the publicity team pointed at the screen and said.

"What's the big deal? Where isn't there fighting going on? Isn't it just that there are more monsters attacking here? Why is there such a fuss?"

Captain Li reprimanded his men with some dissatisfaction.

Killing so many monsters is certainly worthy of praise, but the duty of their propaganda team is to find sufficiently explosive news material.

The higher-ups have already given the order to single out typical individuals from this defense battle for commendation, and this kind of scene does not meet the requirements at all.

"No, Captain. There seem to be only three mages stationed here. These monsters were killed by the three of them."

The team member quickly explained.

"What did you say?!" Captain Li was so surprised that he didn't even notice when the cigarette he was holding fell to the ground.
"Are you sure there are only three of them? Are you sure you saw it right?"

"That's right, Captain. And I just contacted the headquarters, and there are indeed only three mages stationed at Songjiang Dam.

Moreover, before today, this dam was guarded by two mages.

The new mage who came today was specially recruited by the commander-in-chief who went to inspect the Songjiang Dam because he was concerned about its safety."

"Great!" Captain Li waved his hands excitedly, "This is the news we are looking for!

Xiao Tang, send the drone to Songjiang Dam immediately to collect more information about the battlefield. The more tragic the better.

When their garrison mission is over, we will interview them again. When the two are combined, it will definitely cause widespread discussion and praise among the people."

There is nothing strange about hunting monsters, even if you kill a lot of them, it is still the same.

But it’s a different story when just a few people kill so many monsters.

Especially now that defenses are in critical situations everywhere, not only is the number of mages stationed here the smallest, but the number of monster attacks is no less.

Such a strong contrast is enough to attract people's attention.

　Just a brief transition, the new story will unfold tomorrow.

　　I didn't save it today. I just thought about it and was a bit bored. I'm very sorry.

　　But I beg all readers to continue to read and support me. I will continue to write more exciting things later. I really have no inspiration today and I am short of time.
