149: Fate monument and general star!

Soon, the staff member left the counter.

After waiting for about three minutes, the person returned with a badge.

Its style was identical to the one on General Hu’s shoulder, except it only had a single black five-pointed star.

With the badge in hand, General Hu led Xia Qi away.

They didn’t even exchange an extra word throughout the entire process.

After the two left, the staff member wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, “Oh my goodness, a Five-Star Dragon General, how could such a big shot come here?”

He quickly checked General Hu’s Qi, and upon doing so, even more sweat beaded on his forehead.

The Five-Star Dragon Generals in the entire country were few and far between, and only one person matched the one who had just been there.

“Xi Jiang War God General Hu!”

“Holy cow, quickly tell the officer the War God has arrived.”

The person was incredibly excited and immediately ran to report.

The two walked down the desolate street, and General Hu said in a deep voice, “This is your military ID; keep it with you at all times.”

“As long as you kill monsters on the battlefield, it will automatically record your merits.”

“Black is the lowest Rank, Private, followed by blue Soldier, silver Officer, gold Commander, and purple General.”

“Each star also represents your military merits at that Rank; the more merits, the more stars.”

“Each stage has ten stars; exceeding ten stars allows you to advance to the next stage.”

“So, do you know how I got these five purple stars?”

General Hu clearly had a hint of showing off, but Xia Qi wasn’t bothered.

Each of these military merits was earned by him fighting his way through.

At least when he showed off, he had the strength to back it up.

“I understand.”

Xia Qi’s gaze towards General Hu also changed considerably; perhaps because their relationship had become so good these past few days, he hadn’t paid much attention to General Hu’s identity.

Now, a sense of admiration spontaneously arose.

Every War God, in fact, silently dedicated himself to the citizens of the Dragon Country.

Protecting everyone’s safety.

Such a person was worthy of Xia Qi’s respect.

“Oh, oh, oh, look at that little gaze of yours, don’t look at me like that, it makes me uncomfortable.”

General Hu smiled, saying he was uncomfortable, but in reality, he was overjoyed.

Walking up to a building, General Hu stopped, “Wait for me here; I’ll be right back.”

Xia Qi nodded, not asking what he was going to do, and stayed put, waiting.

After waiting for a few minutes, General Hu came out holding a small stone tablet.

“This is a Fate Tablet; relax your mind and leave your spiritual imprint on it.”

Xia Qi took the stone tablet and followed General Hu’s instructions.

Once the imprint was branded, General Hu continued, “I’ll keep this stone tablet; let’s go.”

At this moment, Xia Qi stood still and bowed to General Hu.

“Kid, what are you doing?”

General Hu was stunned, looking at Xia Qi with a puzzled expression.

“This Fate Tablet must be quite valuable, right? You had five purple stars when you went in, and now you only have four left.”

Xia Qi pointed to the badge on General Hu’s shoulder.

Although General Hu had intentionally or unintentionally avoided Xia Qi’s gaze after coming out, he was still seen through at a glance.

“You found out; you’re quite observant, kid.”

General Hu chuckled, scratching the back of his head, uncharacteristically a little embarrassed.

Originally, he wanted to portray himself as a man silently supporting Xia Qi, but now, he had been directly discovered.

His acting was still a bit lacking.

“The Fate Tablet is a good thing; even if you die unexpectedly on the battlefield, I have a way to revive you. With an extra life, wouldn’t you say it’s valuable?”

Upon hearing the effect, Xia Qi was also shocked.

No wonder General Hu paid such a huge price, deducting a whole purple star.

He didn’t even need to think; it must have consumed a massive amount of military merits.

“Thank you!”

This time, Xia Qi was genuinely moved.

After coming to this world, it seemed only General Hu had been so kind to Xia Qi.

At this moment, a thousand words were stuck in his heart, not knowing where to begin.

Ultimately, they converged into a single thank you.

“Alright, stop being so sentimental with me. Kill more enemies on the battlefield and earn back the military merits for me, or else I’ll really suffer a huge loss.”

General Hu said casually.

“No problem.”

Xia Qi also showed a slight smile, revealing a confident expression.

“Very good, let’s talk as we walk. I’ll tell you about the precautions on the battlefield.”

Only now did General Hu begin to get to the main point.

The Dragon Battlefield is a frontline battleground between the Human Race and the Void Realm monsters.

This place deals with Void Realm monsters, and among them, the Dragon Country is the main force, thus earning the name Dragon Battlefield.

The war between the Void Realm monsters and the Human Race has been ongoing.

However, large-scale Void Realm invasions of cities, like the one before, haven’t happened for several centuries.

All countries across the nation have outposts in the Dragon Battlefield, and strongholds form the Human Race’s defense line.

The Dragon Country is one of the strongest Human Race nations, with the most outposts and extremely strong combat power.

In the Dragon Battlefield alone, there are over a dozen outposts, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed there.

Besides that, there are numerous outposts in other battlefields.

Here, one must praise the motherland.

If it weren’t for the motherland’s powerful strength, a large portion of the Human Race’s territory might have fallen into ruin.

Within the Dragon Battlefield, there are also a considerable number of dungeons.

The Human Race wants to enter dungeons to acquire equipment and improve their Rank.

The Void Realm monsters, however, will organize to prevent the Human Race from entering the dungeons, or ambush them when they exit.

In short, battles between the two sides are very frequent, occurring at all times.

“Battles in front of dungeons will be very intense; you must pay attention to the danger.”

“If things are impossible, don’t be reckless; preserving your life is paramount.”

“Before you set off, prepare more teleportation stones.”

“There’s interference from Void Realm power here, making teleportation stones unstable. All teleportation stones can only be used once, and there’s a possibility of failure.”

“So spend more money to buy them; it’s better to be prepared.”

“Also, you’ll need some special potions to deal with Void Realm monsters; go to the exchange to buy some.”

“There’s nothing else; you can also learn the specific situation when you get to the exchange.”

General Hu spoke a long list of earnest advice, which Xia Qi nodded to repeatedly.

These were experiences from a veteran, and Xia Qi couldn’t possibly ignore the advice.

“Can the Rune Reset Stone be used here?”

“Of course.”

“Alright then, I’m basically all set.”

After their conversation, General Hu directly led Xia Qi to the entrance of the exchange.

“There’s an exchange in the stronghold, but all the supplies here require cash payment.”

“That’s why I reminded you to bring more money, at least to have more preparations before going to the battlefield.”

“Understood.”

General Hu had explained things quite thoroughly along the way; if Xia Qi still didn’t understand, there would truly be a problem.

Most of what needed to be said had been said, and General Hu couldn’t accompany Xia Qi forever.

After bidding farewell, he left directly.

Next, it was time for Xia Qi to act freely.

As long as he didn’t go deep into the battlefield, found the dungeon according to General Hu’s requirements, and obtained the necessary Materials.

He would have completed the mission and could return to the academy.

However, that would have to wait until he entered the battlefield.

Xia Qi took a deep breath; for some reason, after he arrived here, all the cells in his body began to feel excited.

Looking at the sign of the exchange, Xia Qi walked in.

Let’s see what’s available first.
