67: Military merit awarded! Second-class individual merit!

The car then slowly started.

Shen Xingyu's entire face turned a pig-liver color.

"Xingyu, what's wrong?"

Ji Xing, sitting on the other side of the aisle, couldn't help but ask worriedly when she saw Shen Xingyu's complexion.

Shen Xingyu slowly forced a smile at her: "Nothing."

His voice was slightly off-key.

A hint of doubt flashed across Ji Xing's small face.

However, since he said he was fine, she stopped talking, leaned against the car window, and closed her eyes to rest.

Shen Xingyu, his face flushed, said very seriously to Lin Qingran: "Ranran, are you tired?"

Lin Qingran glanced at him with amusement upon hearing this.

"Not bad."

"Let go!" Shen Xingyu whispered in Lin Qingran's ear.

Lin Qingran lightly lifted her small face, her expression somewhat playful, as if saying: "No way."

As the view shifted downwards.

Lin Qingran's small hand was now tightly pinching the flesh on the inside of Shen Xingyu's thigh.

Seeing this, Shen Xingyu gritted his teeth: "Then don't blame me!"

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow when she heard this.

"Ahem, everyone, do you know where I slept yesterday?"

Shen Xingyu cleared his throat, saying this while raising an eyebrow at Lin Qingran.

At this moment, in the quiet car, everyone was attracted by Shen Xingyu's sudden voice.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran increased the strength in her hand, a hint of annoyance on her face.

This guy actually threatened her with this?

As Lin Qingran's grip tightened, Shen Xingyu's face immediately twisted.

He quickly gave Lin Qingran a look: Let go quickly, or I'll tell!

Lin Qingran frowned: If you say it, you'll die!

Shen Xingyu gritted his teeth and winked again: Don't force me, the barefoot aren't afraid of the shoed, I don't care about my reputation anyway!

Seeing this, Lin Qingran gritted her silver teeth and hesitated.

This guy really might do it.

Shen Xingyu smiled slightly upon seeing this and continued: "Yesterday, I..."

Before he could finish, Lin Qingran angrily let go of his hand.

Shen Xingyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then gave Lin Qingran a mischievous look (﹁﹁)

You little rascal, can't I handle you?

Lin Qingran crossed her arms, her face full of indignation.

Shameless!

Just you wait!

Shen Xingyu came back to his senses and found that everyone in the car was still looking at him.

He smiled slightly at everyone, then continued from where he left off: "I slept on the bed yesterday, a Simmons mattress, it's just so soft!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked speechless ┑(￣Д￣)┍

They thought he was going to say something big, who knew he just made a big fuss over nothing.

How boring.

Seeing that everyone had now shifted their gaze, Shen Xingyu chuckled.

Lin Qingran, looking at his mischievous expression at this moment, was instantly filled with anger.

Ever since she met this guy, she had always been taken advantage of by him!

But at this moment, she had no good way to teach this guy a lesson.

So annoying! (｀ﾍ´)=3

Shen Xingyu felt a burst of satisfaction watching her angry and helpless expression.

However, it must be said, this woman's grip was truly strong.

He could barely feel the existence of that piece of flesh on his inner thigh anymore.

Then, the car fell silent again.

The journey back to Hope City was very long, at least a dozen hours.

Shen Xingyu leaned against the car window, lost in thought.

Thinking of the two items from the Revision Hall, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He was so busy beating up that Zhou Shuren guy earlier that he forgot to ask him!

Shen Xingyu was helpless and could only research it later.

What he could basically confirm now was that these two items from the Revision Hall seemed to be usable for increasing Mental Energy.

But how exactly to Cultivate with them, he didn't know.

The hand seals Zhou Shuren used before should all be driven by Mental Energy.

He estimated that this group of people from the Revision Hall, like Zhou Shuren, were guys who primarily Cultivated Mental Energy.

It seemed he could do some good research when he got back.

With Lord System's help, Dual Cultivation of Mental Energy and spiritual power was not a very difficult thing.

After thinking about this, Shen Xingyu pulled an item from his embrace.

The amulet Mother Huang gave him.

At this moment, this amulet was already in tatters.

He slowly held the amulet in his hand, his mind full of thoughts.

Mother Huang, oh Mother Huang, you've hidden it for half your life.

What exactly happened to you before?

Lin Qingran squinted for a while, and at this moment, she opened her eyes and looked to the side.

She saw Shen Xingyu holding the amulet in his hand, his expression somewhat downcast.

A hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.

It was indeed very sad not to know the true background of the person closest to you.

However, the next moment, she no longer thought that way.

Shen Xingyu leaned against the window, falling asleep instantly and even snoring.

Lin Qingran immediately gritted her silver teeth upon seeing this, a hint of helplessness on her face.

Why was she sympathizing with him!

...

The journey was silent.

After more than ten hours, the vehicle they were in slowly stopped.

Everyone in the car instantly became energetic.

They finally arrived!

After sitting for so long, their bottoms were almost made of iron.

After everyone got out of the car, the three words "Embassy" came into view.

Shen Xingyu stretched at this moment.

Old Jia, who had been waiting here for a long time, quickly came forward.

"Young Master!"

Old Jia walked quickly to Zhang Zeyang, scrutinized him carefully, and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

"Young Master, you've matured a lot on this trip."

Zhang Zeyang scratched his head upon hearing this: "Not bad."

Shen Xingyu couldn't help but smile upon seeing this.

To be honest, Zhang Zeyang had undergone the biggest change among their group on this trip.

From the coward he was at the beginning, after experiencing so many things, he even dared to fight fiercely with the aliens.

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In fact, Zhang Zeyang himself was a fierce tiger, but his family had always raised him like a kitten, which made his personality a bit weak.

But a tiger is a tiger after all, once he returned to the forest, his wildness was awakened again.

Old Jia's face was full of smiles at this moment; he had also read the report Xu Simiao wrote about Shen Xingyu's team's performance.

He had originally thought that it would be good enough if this trip could make his Young Master no longer timid.

But when he saw Xu Simiao use an objective tone to write the extremely high praise of "brave in battle, young hero," he was still shocked.

At this moment, he looked at Zhang Zeyang with a face full of relief.

"Two young men, and several Young Misses, thank you all for this time." Then, Old Jia said solemnly to Shen Xingyu and the others.

"I've booked a banquet at Lou Wai Lou Restaurant to welcome you all!"

"Right! Brother Shen, Brother Wu, and the beautiful ladies, we've gone through life-and-death situations together, so don't be polite with me!" Zhang Zeyang quickly said.

Seeing this, everyone exchanged smiles; since he said so, it would be rude to refuse his kind intentions.

"Okay," Shen Xingyu said with a smile to Zhang Zeyang.

Zhang Zeyang smiled brightly, putting an arm around Shen Xingyu and Wu Chiren: "Let's go, let's go, the food outside has been too bad lately, today we'll have a good feast!"

Old Jia looked at them, his face filled with relief.

Not only had his Young Master grown, but he had also made so many good friends; he was sincerely happy for his Young Master.

Then, under Old Jia's guidance, everyone walked towards Lou Wai Lou Restaurant.

At this moment, a military officer suddenly stopped them and saluted them.

"Are you the team that brought back the device core earlier?"

Shen Xingyu and the others nodded at him.

The officer immediately showed a smile upon seeing this: "Your military merits have been awarded. Originally, you were all personal Third-Class Merits, but given your performance within N318, the superior decided to award you all personal Second-Class Merits. Later, you can go directly to the Embassy to collect your military medals and bonuses."

Upon hearing about the bonus, Shen Xingyu's eyes immediately lit up.

Money was a good thing!

Everyone else's faces were also full of smiles; earning military merits was not an easy task!

They didn't expect to receive a Second-Class Merit before even entering a high-level military academy!

Then, the officer composed his expression and solemnly spoke to them again.

"At the same time, the results of the investigation into your team's previous incorrect mission location report have also been released."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately narrowed.
