186: Chapter 186 Arrangement

"I plan to take our entire squad and transfer to the Central District's Xialong Base City."

With a single sentence from Chu Hong, the two people in front of him were completely stunned on the spot.

Xu Daili wore a look of incomprehension.

"Go to Xialong Base City?! Why? We've been doing just fine here in Huangshan Base City..."

Donald also frowned slightly. "Did something happen?"

Chu Hong shook his head. "Nothing went wrong. I just intend to shift the focus of our team's development to Xialong Base City. The Central District has more resources and more senior Pioneers, which will be beneficial for expanding our team."

He glanced at the two people who were obviously somewhat flustered by this sudden decision.

"I heard that the Central District has a super portal system targeting top-secret mystic realms across the entire Daxia. The Cliffside Epidemic Hospital here in Huangshan Base City should also be connected by the portal before long. By then, even if we are stationed in Xialong Base City, we can still enter this mystic realm."

"Therefore, the preparatory work we did in the early stages won't be in vain..."

Donald lit a cigarette.

He was unburdened by family himself, but here in Huangshan Base City, there were still the widows of some of his comrades...

Chu Hong seemed to have thought of this long ago.

He fished out a Source Energy crystal card from his embrace.

He handed it over to the other person.

"There are ten million source energy points in this card. Hand it over to the Pioneers Guild of Huangshan Base City and let them handle the public custody and distribution to your comrades' widows on time every month. In the future, if any of the children in their families become Pioneers, our team can also give priority to recruiting them."

"This..." Even an old veteran Pioneer like Donald, who had seen grand scenes, couldn't help but sharply intake a breath of cold air at this moment.

Even the fingers holding the cigarette were trembling.

That was ten million source energy points!

Just like that, it was handed to him, and moreover, given to the widows of his former squad's comrades who had completely no connection to Chu Hong?!

"Captain, this, this isn't appropriate..." He hurriedly tried to refuse, but Chu Hong shook his head.

He directly and forcefully shoved the card into the other person's hand.

"Old Tang, straight talkers don't speak in riddles. I'm putting out this ten million not for anything else. I know you feel guilty toward your comrades, feeling that you didn't command well back then, which caused the Falcon Squad to be almost wiped out, and that's why you took the initiative to take care of their widows, but..."

"I don't want you, now that you've joined my team, to still be distracted by those trivial matters during future missions and work."

"With these ten million source energy points, what I'm buying is your peace of mind!"

Donald was moved. Clutching the card, his eye sockets couldn't help but turn red.

"Big Boss Captain~ What about me? What about me?"

Xu Daili blinked her watery, big eyes, her graceful figure almost pressing against Chu Hong's body, her eyes full of anticipation and gold-digger-style adoration.

"You?"

Chu Hong smiled. "What? Do you also have widows to take care of?"

Xu Daili's pretty face flushed red, but she still stubbornly retorted, "I—I grew up in Huangshan Base City since I was a child. This is the land that gave birth to and raised me, I..."

"You're unemployed here!" With a single sentence, Chu Hong rendered Xu Daili completely speechless.

However, Chu Hong just gave a faint smile. Looking at the two of them, he once again pulled out two cards he had prepared long ago.

"Rest assured, our team isn't lacking in source energy points. Each person gets a relocation allowance of 5 million source energy points!"

"Besides, after going to Xialong Base City, you guys won't need to contribute any funds for the team's base. As the captain, I will fully fund it..."

"Wow! Captain, you're so handsome! Mua~"

Amidst Xu Daili's excited scream, a fierce wave of dampness washed over one side of Chu Hong's cheek.

Her towering, graceful figure inevitably brushed against Chu Hong out of excitement, causing Chu Hong, who had already tasted its sweetness, to feel his mind wander once again.

He wondered how Campus Belle Song would provoke him tonight...

In front of the power of money, no problem was a problem.

Donald smiled and directly put away the source energy card.

"Sigh, it looks like it'll be a long time before an old fogey like me can retire."

Chu Hong smiled, but immediately afterward, his expression turned a bit more solemn.

"This is the first matter. The second matter..."

He took a deep breath.

Amidst the shocked gazes of Donald and Xu Daili.

A wave of white light suddenly twitched across his body. When the light dissipated,

his original appearance as Yanzu had changed back to his own true appearance as Chu Hong.

Xu Daili: "!!!"

Shock filled Donald's eyes, but it was clear he already had some expectations in his heart.

"So... this is your true appearance, Captain? That person before was just a disguise?"

Donald took a slight breath.

Chu Hong nodded.

A pair of tender little hands had already grabbed his face, kneading and rubbing it, pinching it from time to time.

Chu Hong turned his head speechlessly to look at Xu Daili, only to see an even brighter and more excited gaze in her eyes than when she had been acting like a gold-digger earlier.

"Oh my, this is incredible. He's still a little brother, eh? Such a tender little brother."

"Little brother Captain, how old are you?"

The corner of Chu Hong's eye twitched, and he irritably slapped away the woman's mischievous hand.

"You certainly have a lot of nerve. I thought you would at least be scared into screaming."

Xu Daili feigned reproach, her pair of eyes sizing up Chu Hong's cheeks, her eyes filled with smiles and joy. "Aigoo, I only guessed that you probably wore a disguise, and in my heart I thought the captain was an old man. I didn't expect... you're still a little brother."

Her words were full of teasing.

An arm carrying a fragrance propped itself on Chu Hong's shoulder, her body half-leaning against him.

"So, little brother Captain, what is your actual identity..."

Chu Hong took out his identity ID and irritably stated his identity.

"Chu Hong, living on the exact same floor in the building opposite your house!"

"Aigoo! And a perverted little brother at that! Did you set your sights on your big sister so early on?" Hearing this woman's unbridled teasing and watching her giggle endlessly,

Chu Hong rolled his eyes.

He somewhat regretted it, but Xialong Base City wasn't like Huangshan Base City. The Pioneers Guild wouldn't skip checking your identity just because of a single phrase like "I'm an outsider."

Necessary frankness was good for the entire team.

"So it was you..." Shock and emotion lingered in Donald's eyes. He still remembered that back at the mystic realm camp of the Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe, the two people whose escort commission his Falcon Squad had taken seemed to be at odds with Chu Hong and the others.

"Today's youngsters really don't leave us old folks any room to survive."

"Afterward, I will still act as your captain under my previous identity as Yanzu, but this disguise is to make things more covert when doing certain tasks," Chu Hong explained.

Seeing that things had been explained and both of them understood,

Chu Hong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

However, when he reactivated the display case effect of the Masked Worm and changed back into Yanzu's appearance,

he noticeably discovered that the way the two of them looked at him had changed slightly.

Especially Xu Daili...

"I have a girlfriend!" Chu Hong gritted his teeth and glared at this blatant-eyed fellow.

Unexpectedly, Xu Daili licked the corner of her mouth with full flirtatiousness.

"Doesn't that just mean you don't have a mistress yet?"

Chu Hong: "!!! Get lost!"

His dignity as Yanzu had completely collapsed in front of this woman!

After briefing the two on a few matters and returning home to tidy up simply,

when he returned to the Song Family Manor, Song Jiaojiao had also already gotten up.

Seeing that Chu Hong had clearly made a trip home to get things,

carrying large and small bags,

Song Jiaojiao couldn't help but curl her lips. "If you're missing anything, why not just tell Uncle Fu? Now that even I am yours, are you still too embarrassed to use a few things from the Rubiks Chamber of Commerce?"

Chu Hong raised a thumb.

"Wife is magnificent!"
