As the oldest academy established by Heiner Van Sant himself, the Star Academy occupied a vast area.
It had seven lakes and nine lakes, including the largest freshwater lake in the Mighty Left District, Lake Mingsi.
The ecology there was extremely well preserved, with lush vegetation, continuous water plants, and flocks of migratory birds. It was a picturesque scene.
In their spare time, the students would rent shuttle boats to cruise the lake and feed the migratory birds, which had always been one of their favorite pastimes.
There were many kinds of migratory birds there, and they weren't afraid of people. Whenever someone fed them, they would flock together, which was a spectacular sight.
Ordinary shuttle boats were cheap to rent, only 50 Oudi per hour.
There were also luxury shuttle boats for students to rent, though the cost per hour was no less than 5,000 Oudi.
Most of the students who could enter the Star Academy came from well-off families, and that kind of money was nothing to them.
Even the students from the ordinary residential districts who were admitted to the Star Academy had all kinds of allowances every month, which was a considerable sum.
If they went to participate in practice at a company on the outskirts of the Star Academy during the summer, their income would be even more impressive.
A fat man was sitting on a worn-out shuttle boat, staring greedily at the surface of the lake.
The shuttle boat was only 10 Oudi per hour, and it was less than four meters long. The paint on the hull had long since peeled off, and it looked terrible.
The fat man was bare-chested, and he looked like a meatball. The poor shuttle boat was creaking as though it might fall apart at any moment.
At the other end of the shuttle boat was a rusty field travel card appliance furnace, with an iron pot on top of it. The water in the pot was boiling and steaming.
The students who occasionally flew by were all looking at the fat man strangely, showing disdain.
It was a good thing that it was so remote that only one or two card artisans flew by.
Suddenly, a card artisan flew straight in that direction, circling a few times in the air before he found the fat man's position.
He then plunged down and dove toward the fat man.
Seeing that the card artisan was about to crash into the worn-out shuttle boat, the card artisan came to a sudden stop, pausing in midair.
If any of the students had seen that, they would have been amazed. That clean and efficient move showed the card artisan's profound attainments in the jet-stream card.
The card artisan looked to be about 27 or 28, with disheveled hair and sleepy eyes. He was wearing white pajamas with a cute little bear painted on the chest, which took up most of the pajamas.
The flip-flops under her feet made her look like she was about to fall into the lake at any time.
He glanced at the shuttle and felt that he really couldn't find a place to land, so he simply floated in the air beside Fatty.
"Xi Ju, haven't you fished him out yet?
I haven't had breakfast yet, "he muttered, stretching and lying down lazily.
There was clearly nothing to lean on in the air, but he was lying down very naturally.
Rossiji!
This guy who was as fat as a ball was actually the number one tactician in the Federation, Rossiji!
"Breakfast?
It was already three in the afternoon!
You lazy bum, do you think I'm in charge of your meals? "Fatty cursed, but his eyes were fixed on the lake, not daring to move away.
"Hehe."
Lying in midair, the man in the teddy bear pajamas held his chin and said proudly, "Who asked you to be the only one who could catch the Redline Crystal Eel?
This thing is very nutritious! "
"Xiaosu, you have an exam next week, right?" Fatty asked.
This guy was extremely sleepy and always looked like he was dozing off. His name was Nick, Rossiji simply called him Xiaosu, although Nick was older than Fatty.
"Oh, yes." He said indifferently, "Isn't it just an exam?"
"If you pass, you can catch up with Qing Qing. Tsk tsk, but the name of the second person is really unpleasant." Fatty suddenly thought of a question, "Oh right, if I pass the exam, will there be a bonus?"
"Don't put me and that woman together, are you trying to affect my appetite?" Xiaosu said indignantly, "Bonus?
No way!
It's not like you don't know, the principal is a stingy person.
Otherwise, we can still go out and be corrupt. "
"What a pity." Fatty's face was full of resentment.
Xiaosu suddenly sat up, tilted his head and said, "Oh right, Fatty, why are you suddenly interested in that White Commander?
That's not like you at all! "
"He's an interesting person." Fatty stared at the water and said in a daze, "And he's very capable.
The path he takes is completely different from the others.
Also, he should be very young. "
"Young?
How old? "Xiaosu asked with some surprise.
"I don't know." Fatty shook his head, "I guessed."
"Oh."
Xiaosu touched his chin, his face deep in thought, but the teddy bear on his chest and his unkempt hair made him look unspeakably funny, "You guessed nine times out of ten.
In my opinion, you are Song Chengyan's dead, so you can't bear to be alone! "
To his surprise, the fatty didn't get angry. Instead, he sighed and said, "Song Chengyan died too early.
However, this guy who came out this time is also not bad. "
Xiaosu said disapprovingly, "His teacher Caesar has no power, and he can't do anything by himself."
"Not necessarily." Fatty looked serious, "I can't understand his series of actions after that.
But one thing can be seen, he should have a plan to do something.
Some people can do a lot of things alone, this White Commander is such a person. "
"I didn't know you appreciated him so much." Xiaosu looked surprised.
Fatty suddenly said, "The principal isn't very satisfied with Qing Qing's work. If you pass the exam, I reckon they might train you as a successor."
Xiaosu's face changed, "Really?
Then I'd better not pass.
How nice it is to just eat and wait to die every day. Wrong, it's leisurely and carefree!
Look at that woman. She's been tortured. She's so pitiful. "
"She is pitiful." Fatty nodded, "If you don't want to, then this time it's fine.
But before, there was Qing Qing in front of you, so the principal turned a blind eye to you. I'm afraid this time it won't be so easy for you. "
Xiaosu immediately said with a bitter face, "Hearing you say that, I feel a little scared.
By the way, didn't the principal urge you? "
Fatty said indifferently, "There's no one fighting Star Academy, so when would it be my turn to act?
The principal is a wily old fox, and he knows it's not a good time.
Moon Frost Island is making a big alliance, and the principal is waiting for the situation to become clearer.
Tang Hanpei has just reorganized the Tang Camp, and now he's missing someone like Song Chengyan. If there's such a person, the Federation Comprehensive Academy will be stronger than before.
Jie Yanbai took over the Central Repository of the Classics, and it's said that the first thing he did was to open up the inheritance.
The Central Repository of the Classics is famous for making cards. Now that the inheritance is open, the advantage of making cards can be turned into fighting power.
After a year or two of balance, the Central Repository of the Classics will be in a different situation. "
"How about the rest?" Xiaosu couldn't help but ask. Listening to the fatty casually pointing out the world was one of life's great pleasures.
"The only one Desert Camp needs to be afraid of is Su Hanhao's second son, Su Heiming. He's ruthless and decisive, and he's the one with the fiercest fighting style among us.
Once when I was competing with him, I had the upper hand and had surrounded his team.
I didn't expect this guy to first destroy all the supplies, kill all the non-combatants in the logistics department, and speed up the night attack.
He massacred every city, looted the supplies, and was cunning and ruthless. He almost turned the tables.
It scared me so much that my little heart was pounding. "When Fatty talked about this matter, his face was full of lingering fear.
Xiaosu shuddered, "That's ruthless!"
"It's a pity that his identity as the second son affects his position in the Desert Camp.
Su Hanhao is very particular about seniority. Unless he's dead, Su Heiming will have a chance, "the fatty said.
"What about the Bitter Solitude Temple?"
"The Bitter Solitude Temple is even more low-key than the Star Academy, so it's hard to say.
Although they have two people in the top ten of the Commanders' League Tournament, their strength is very ordinary.
Unless they're hiding some trump card, I don't think they'll win.
But then again, the Bitter Solitude Temple is the most difficult to attack among the Six.
The power of religion is too strong!
Unless the entire Fanasi District is wiped out, whoever occupies it will be like planting a bomb in their own backyard, "the fatty said with a smile.
"I remember there's another one called Faya. Wasn't it famous for a while?" Xiaosu frowned.
The fatty shook his head, "Faya is strong on the outside, but weak on the inside. There's nothing to fear.
This federation is, after all, the Big Six, unless … "He suddenly frowned and stopped talking.
"Unless what?" Xiaosu quickly asked.
"Unless there's some fundamental technology that can break the accumulation of the Big Six.
Just like Heiner Van Sant in the past, it's possible for a new force to emerge. "
Xiaosu said, "So that's what you're talking about. You scared me. It's impossible!"
The fatty uncharacteristically shook his head, "I think it's possible!"
Xiaosu was stunned.
"Speaking of which, it's Faya's battle shuttle car that reminded me.
If the battle shuttle car's power is higher and its cost is lower, and Faya can have a character like Song Chengyan, it's hard to say what the result will be, "the fatty said seriously.
Xiaosu laughed and pointed at the fatty, "You pig, you actually have groundless fears.
You're talking about what ifs. Can the battle shuttle car's power be higher?
Maybe, but it'll take at least ten or twenty years. Well, even if Faya works hard and shortens it to five years, will the president and his gang give it a chance?
Do you think there's a second Song Chengyan in the world? "
"Why not?" the fatty asked in reply, "Isn't the White Commander one?"
Xiaosu's laughter stopped abruptly, and he stammered, "Fatty, you think too highly of him."
"He's not as good as Song Chengyan now, but he has that kind of potential," the fatty said lightly.
Xiaosu spread his hands and said disapprovingly, "Could he be cooperating with Faya?
I don't think it's possible. Caesar's students wouldn't cooperate with any power.
So, it's impossible for both conditions to be met! "
The fatty suddenly sighed and withdrew his gaze from the lake for the first time. "You probably don't know.
The White Commander's real name should be Chen Mu. He's the maker of the numbered series of cards. Qing Qing went to the Heavenly Drum Village District this time to find him. "
Xiaosu opened his mouth wide, looking stunned.
Under his stunned gaze, the fat man said softly, "If you knew that he had a card in his hand that was the crystallization of Rosenberg's life, and that it contained the long-lost token card technology that even Heiner Van Sant searched for his entire life, would you still think that way?"
Xiaosu was dumbstruck!
Bogner's face was covered with stubble, and his gaze was cold. There was no trace of the leisure he'd had when he'd first entered the jungle.
"Three of the wounded have just died after treatment proved ineffective."
Sue Lochiro's gaze was filled with deep sorrow. Those days, there were constantly wounded who had died because of ineffective treatment.
Although they'd made sufficient preparations before entering the jungle, the environment in the jungle had great interference with treatment.
In one battle, one of their shuttle cars loaded with medicine had been blown up by someone from the Blood Bell Troop, which put them in a situation where they were strapped for medicine.
Everyone was silent. Watching their companions die in front of them every day was an extremely bad thing for everyone.
"Have the bodies been buried?" Bogner's voice was hoarse.
"They've been buried." Jiang Liang answered. He'd always been particular about discipline, and his neat battle suit had long been torn.
Bogner's face didn't change at all. His face was like a rock sculpture.
Their current situation was very bad. The Thousand-mile Card was destroyed by Wu Yan, causing them to lose contact with Chen Mu.
Now there were only about a thousand card artisans left alive, and more than half of them had been reduced from the battle.
He said in a low voice, "Now it depends on who can hold on. The enemy's situation is worse than ours!
From the battle these days, the enemy's combat power has obviously weakened, and they can't hold on any longer! "
Hearing that, everyone's spirits were lifted.
They probably didn't expect that the situation of the Blood Hammer Troop was much worse than they'd expected.
After discovering that the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Team lacked masters, Wu Yan led the masters of the Blood Hammer Troop to attack the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Team at night, intending to destroy their headquarters.
Unexpectedly, Bogner had long been prepared and set up an ambush.
In that battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Almost all the masters of the Blood Hammer Troop were dead or wounded, and even Wu Yan died from self-explosion. Only Shi Fengfei, Qi Li, and a few others escaped.
At this point, there was no way out for both sides.
Shi Fengfei led the Blood Hammer Troop to launch a crazy suicidal pursuit. They were like sticky candy, biting the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Team tightly.
The number of casualties of Bogner and his team immediately skyrocketed.
However, with the death of Wang Yong, they lost their most reliable jungle expert, and the Blood Hammer Troop completely slipped into the abyss.
The keen Bogner immediately discovered this and immediately took advantage of it to the extreme.
The jungle became the most powerful combat partner of the Snow Silkworm Card Artisan Team, and the number of casualties of the Blood Hammer Troop rose at an alarming rate.
Since they didn't have enough medicine from the beginning, once their card artisans were injured, they would basically be sentenced to death.
Therefore, after the card artisans of the Blood Hammer Troop were injured, they would all choose to self-explosion, which made Bogner and his team suffer a lot.
They were now just fighting with their last breath to fight back before death.
Both sides were aware of this.
Bogner and his team, who were on tenterhooks, didn't encounter any card artisans of the Blood Hammer Troop for three consecutive days.
Now, everyone understood that the Blood Hammer Troop was finished!
At that moment, Bogner ordered them to advance at full speed.
Sure enough, after that, they didn't encounter any card artisans of the Blood Hammer Troop anymore.
After such a cruel battle, the beasts in the jungle could no longer make these card artisans afraid.
After ten consecutive days, they finally saw the outline of the city.
