The news of the Star Academy and the Bitter Solitude Temple entering Pomelo immediately made headlines.
Almost everyone in the Heavenly Federation was paying attention to it.
But there was an essential difference between what the people in the five flourishing districts and the ordinary residential districts were paying attention to.
For the people in the flourishing districts, it was only a news event.
The five flourishing districts had never been threatened by war in history.
That was the old nest of the Big Six. Although the Big Six would fight constantly, they would never let the war affect the flourishing districts.
That was a tradition, a deep-rooted tradition.
If anyone wanted to cross that line, they would certainly be besieged by the other five.
The prosperity and development of the five flourishing districts were inextricably linked to those hundreds of years of protection.
But for the people in the ordinary residential districts, it was a completely different feeling.
War was so close to them, as though it were right in front of their eyes.
According to past experience, once there was a war, the battlefield would certainly be in the ordinary residential districts, where they lived.
For them, it was a disaster!
Many people resented the inequality, but they were powerless to change it.
The population of the ordinary residential districts was seven times that of the flourishing districts, but their gross output was only a third of that.
Eighty percent of the first-class card artisans in the Heavenly Federation lived in the flourishing districts.
Most of the outstanding people in various professions lived in the flourishing districts.
That was why the people in the flourishing districts always looked down on the ordinary residential districts, even if they had lived there before.
Regarding the medical card artisan alliance entering Pomelo, whether it was in the flourishing districts or the ordinary residential districts, there was a lot of praise.
The Star Academy and the Bitter Solitude Temple had obtained excellent reputations. Even Tang Hanpei, who had allowed the alliance to enter, was praised by everyone.
It was said that Desert Camp and Moon Frost Island seemed to be envious, and they were planning to send medical card artisans to Pomelo.
But they didn't know what it would be like if the two medical card artisans met.
In Chen Mu's room, Sue Lochiro was drinking fruit juice. It was the snow apricot juice that Xi Ping had just sent over.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, she could see the people on the ground being organized.
The medical card artisans from the Star Academy and the Bitter Solitude Temple were constantly shuttling among them, and the people were orderly.
Taking a look at the leisurely Sue Lochiro, Chen Mu felt a little strange. "Why aren't you doing anything?"
Those days, Sue Lochiro's rest time had been compressed to the extreme, desperately treating the wounded.
But that day, she had taken the initiative to return to the base. Seeing that she was idle, Chen Mu pulled her over for a chat.
As it turned out, chatting was a completely unsuitable method for Chen Mu.
After a long while, that was all Chen Mu could say.
"There are so many people down there, so I won't join in the fun." Sue Lochiro took a sip of juice and said with a relaxed expression.
Chen Mu understood.
Xi Ping had specifically reported Sue Lochiro's matter to him. The Star Academy and the Bitter Solitude Temple's style of doing things had involuntarily revealed their power, which made Sue Lochiro very uncomfortable.
What Chen Mu found strange was that Xi Ping was so free that he would pay special attention to such a small matter.
What surprised him even more was the indignation in Xi Ping's tone when he told him about this.
It was rare to sense such emotions from Xi Ping.
"Oh." Chen Mu responded, not knowing what to say next.
"Oh right."
Sue Lochiro put down the juice and looked at Chen Mu with interest. "Are you wearing a disguise on your face?"
Chen Mu was startled, and his gaze toward Sue Lochiro became incredibly cold.
Sue Lochiro's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly raised her right hand. "Wait!"
Chen Mu forcibly suppressed his desire to make a move, and his tone was awe-inspiring. "Who are you?"
His brain was working furiously, but he couldn't figure out how Sue Lochiro could know about this matter.
The only one who knew he had disguised was the demonic woman. Could she have some connection to the demonic woman?
Sue Lochiro was clearly startled by the murderous look in Chen Mu's eyes. Her little face abruptly changed, and her voice broke. "I … I just saw that your skin color wasn't right …"
Chen Mu wasn't moved at all as he continued to stare coldly at Sue Lochiro.
Sue Lochiro was usually doted on. When had she ever been treated like that?
Chen Mu's gaze was so cold that it made her panic. She couldn't restrain the fear from welling up, and the blood drained from her face. "Your … your body is very healthy …"
At this point, her pale face suddenly blushed.
Damn!
How could she think of that at that time?
She was getting more and more flustered.
Chen Mu was still as cold as a rock and had no reaction to Sue Lochiro's strangeness.
When Sue Lochiro met Chen Mu's icy gaze, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart, but her flustered mood abruptly eased.
She did her best to appear calmer, but her slightly trembling voice still revealed her fear and nervousness. "Your body is very healthy, but your skin color is very unhealthy. That's impossible.
That's why I guessed you might have disguised yourself.
A lot of card artisans like to use some drugs to disguise themselves. "
So that was how it was. Chen Mu then understood how Sue Lochiro had seen through it.
He hadn't thought a disguise that no one could see through would be so easily discovered in the eyes of a medical card artisan.
Chen Mu's expression cleared up a little, and the temperature in the room seemed to have abruptly risen a lot.
Sue Lochiro lowered her head and didn't say anything. He didn't know what she was thinking.
Chen Mu also didn't know what to say. What he had just done had been purely an unconscious reaction.
Looking at it now, it seemed his reaction had been a little too extreme.
After a moment, Chen Mu said, "I'm very sorry I just scared you."
"It's nothing."
Sue Lochiro's head was still lowered, and her voice was low. Given Chen Mu's pitifully little experience, he couldn't tell what she was feeling.
The room quieted down again, and the two of them didn't know what to say.
Time ticked by in that awkward silence.
"Can you get rid of it?" Chen Mu suddenly asked.
By then, Sue Lochiro had completely recovered. She raised her head and showed a professional smile. "I'll have to try to know."
"Then try." Chen Mu was very straightforward.
Xi Ping and Bogner were both drinking tea. It was rare for them to be so free that day.
"Where's the boss?
Do you want to call him over for tea? "Bogner asked vaguely as he took big gulps of tea.
Xi Ping picked up his teacup and took a light sip as he said slowly, "The boss is communicating with Miss Sue Lochiro."
Pfft!
Bogner sprayed out all of his tea.
Having long since been prepared, Xi Ping turned slightly sideways and continued to drink his tea leisurely.
"The boss and Miss Sue Lochiro?" Bogner asked with wide eyes after coughing for a long time.
"Is there a problem?" Xi Ping asked back with a calm expression.
Bogner rushed to shake his head. "No problem, no problem!" He hesitated before saying, "It's just a little sudden."
He then laughed and moved closer to Xi Ping with a wretched expression. "It's a pity we can't peek. What a pity!
Could the two of them get along well?
How good is the boss in that regard?
Do you have any inside information? "
Xi Ping took a look at the apparatus on his wrist and calmly said, "Miss Sue Lochiro has already been in there for two and a half hours."
Bogner held up two fingers in disbelief and asked one word at a time, "Two and a half hours?"
Xi Ping picked up his teacup again and took a light sip before correcting him. "To be precise, it should be two hours and 38 minutes."
Bogner's expression became very strange as he murmured, "The boss's endurance is really good!
Damn, it's good to be young! "
Sue Lochiro's performance those last few days had won everyone's respect. On top of that, she was beautiful to begin with, which attracted everyone's gazes.
The card artisans under Chen Mu weren't so bad, but to have any ideas about the boss's woman was no different from seeking death.
The students that Jiao Si had brought didn't have so many misgivings. Their gazes toward Sue Lochiro were hot, and some of the bolder ones even sent out invitations for dates.
It was just that Sue Lochiro spent all her time every day healing the civilians and completely ignored those things.
Some of the students thought of a roundabout way to save the nation and took the initiative to ask to help Sue Lochiro.
Once that request was agreed, the card artisans around Jiao Si suddenly emptied out and ran off to serve the wounded.
The card artisans under Chen Mu's command were green with envy, though no one dared to move.
Bogner's roar was enough to scare those guys out of their wits.
Those card artisans also knew the gap between them and the students of the Origins Academy, so they trained as though they didn't care about their lives.
They had all been struggling for many years and were different from those students whose temperaments were still a little pure. They understood the cruelty of the world.
During that time, they were all getting used to the new cards.
The cards in their hands had been modified by Chen Mu, and their power had greatly increased.
The cards that Chen Mu had modified had brought them too many surprises, and they had explored quite a few moves.
There were countless power cards for them to squander, and they could find any one of their companions whose power was comparable to theirs. The effects of pair training were remarkable, and the cards in their hands had quite a few novel places for them to explore.
It was simply heaven!
For those guys whose life goal was to fight and survive, what could be more wonderful than that?
