61: Chapter 61: Premonition of Monster Tide
“So it has such a magical ability, huh? It seems our squad has quite a few Geniuses.”
Understanding the reason, Gu Yue was very happy, as if she had this ability herself.
There was nothing wrong with saying that. She had already chosen Fang Yuan as her guide, and the faster he leveled up, the faster she would level up.
The higher Fang Yuan's achievements in the future, the happier she would be.
To celebrate the new member joining Squad, the four of them stayed in the private room for a full four hours, not returning home until the afternoon.
“Sister Yueyue, see you again someday.”
Two girls' farewells rang out, and Gu Yue stood watching the three of them leave... “Xiao Yue, which person did you choose, that girl or that boy?”
Ancient Soar suddenly popped out from somewhere, looking at his daughter with concern.
To know the result as soon as possible, he hadn't left the area, waiting nearby for several hours.
“You're here, as expected. You truly are my dad~! I chose Fang Yuan.”
Gu Yue had an understanding expression; she knew her father best.
“Haha, as expected of my daughter, you really chose that boy. Work hard in the future, and maybe that boy will fall at your feet.”
After learning his daughter's choice, Ancient Soar teased her with a mischievous smile. He was a very lively person, so making fun of his own daughter came naturally to him.
Being able to see through others' vast fortune, Ancient Soar was very clear about people with deep vast fortune. Such people achieved very high accomplishments, and having such a son-in-law would be very good.
“Old man, aren't you going to hurry up and get me out of here to make room for you and Mom to show your affection?”
Gu Yue had plenty of experience dealing with her old rascal of a father. She extended her slender hand and gave her grinning father's waist a fierce 360-degree twist.
Her movements were practiced and without a hint of hesitation, clearly not for the first time.
“Hiss, you ruthless girl, you treat me like this, how can I not quickly send you out?”
Twisted by his daughter like that, Ancient Soar immediately gasped. Without any defense, even with a Bronze Tenth Level Rank, it would be very painful.
“Hmph~! I'll let you off this time. If you try to play matchmaker for me like this again, I'll tell my mom.”
After venting her anger, Gu Yue snorted coldly again, then turned and went home.
Behind her, Ancient Soar still wore a smiling expression; he wasn't afraid of these threats... Sea City's southern high wall.
“Reporting, Commander, intelligence from the Earth Demon Territory outpost indicates a large number of monsters approaching Sea City from the Earth Demon Territory. Gold Rank monsters have already been sighted.”
A Silver Rank Professional quickly advanced, came before the Eighth Legion Commander—Long Zhan—and handed him several photos, while also reporting front-line intelligence.
Tianlan Star's initial technology was relatively advanced. Although many technological techniques cannot be used now due to various factors, wired communication, which is almost unaffected by external interference, can still play a very good role.
To guard against anomalies in the Earth Demon Territory, Land of Evil, and other void realms, the Defense Force deployed many outposts using wired communication.
This way, even if problems occurred in these places, Sea City could prepare in time.
“Everyone, it seems we are in for a big battle. The anomaly in the Earth Demon Territory is clearly not something ordinary monsters can create. Every anomaly is related to Legendary Rank monsters, and I hope that unknown monster won't appear this time.”
Long Zhan looked at the blurry photos. There were dense black shadows at the bottom of the photos, and a massive figure, estimated to be over thirty meters tall, caught his attention.
Judging by its size, this unknown monster had at least Gold Rank strength.
“Commander Long Zhan, with so many of us brothers here, it's just a monster tide. Our Eighth Legion alone has over a hundred Gold Rank Professionals. Resisting a monster tide is no problem at all.”
Wu Hao, the captain of the Eighth Legion's Second Brigade, spoke with a bold and spirited voice, completely unafraid of the approaching monster tide.
As the owner of the Gold Rank Talent [Power of the Earth], he had enough strength to say this.
“Pass on my order: prepare artillery shell supplies and be ready at all times to resist the monster tide. We must not let the monsters cross the defense line.”
Long Zhan didn't say much more. He was older and not as full of fighting spirit as Wu Hao.
With the Commander's order issued, tens of thousands of Defense Force members began to get busy, moving boxes of ammunition onto the high wall.
At the same time, a large number of people were working outside the city, harvesting all the ripe crops from the fields.
The monster tide was about to erupt. If the various foods in the good fields outside were not harvested quickly, they would be destroyed by the monster tide later.
After harvesting the grain, Defense Force members walked into the fog, burying large-yield bombs in various places.
On top of the high wall, heavy artillery machine guns were polished to a shine, and bullets as thick as forearms were loaded, ready to fire, just waiting for the monster tide to arrive... “What's going on these past two days? So many Defense Force members, and even these vegetable seedlings are being sold.”
At the dinner table, Lin Xia complained to her family about the strange things she had encountered these past two days. Some vegetables, not even half their normal size, were actually being sold.
Complaints aside, the prices were quite pleasing.
...!
Fang Yuan and Lin Zhizhi, who were eating, exchanged glances. Only the two of them knew the reason, and they didn't speak out to worry the others.
“Dad, Mom, and Second Brother, you should all use energy potion to Cultivate from now on. I...”
Just as the family was discussing the abnormalities of the past few days, Fang Yuan suddenly spoke, making everyone in the family stop their outside work and focus on improving their own strength.
Three days had passed since that day with Li Xuefei, and the 300,000 energy points she mentioned had already been credited to his identity card.
With so many energy points, Fang Yuan believed his parents and second brother could stop their jobs, which only earned them one to three hundred energy points a day.
He was getting closer and closer to the Bronze Rank and also needed to consider his family, helping them improve their strength.
After three days of accumulation, Fang Yuan's energy reserves had exceeded seventy percent. At this rate, if there were no accidents by the day after tomorrow, he would be able to Breakthrough to the Bronze Rank.
Breaking through to the Bronze Rank was basically a foregone conclusion for him.
True Spirit Professionals might encounter a Breakthrough Bottleneck when breaking through a major Rank, which depends on individual Talent.
Generally speaking, those with Silver Rank Talent will find it smooth sailing before breaking through to the Silver Rank, and even the Silver Rank only requires a little effort.
This is the role of the True Spirit Talent Rank. Those with good Talent can quickly Breakthrough the Bottleneck of various major Ranks at the beginning.
However, those with ordinary Talent will be severely restricted when breaking through the Bronze Rank, requiring a great deal of effort to Breakthrough.
