With two hours of nothing to do, Yu Zhibo thought for a moment and decided to go see his sister and Chen Bo.
He had brought them over in the morning and hadn't checked on them yet. He wondered how they were doing.
When he returned to the plaza, Commander Yang had already left with the dark spirit crystals. Several military officers were still on the plaza, cleaning up the battlefield with the soldiers. Among them was the D-class officer who had brought him the Gatling gun earlier.
Seeing him return, the officer's eyes lit up, and he walked over with a smile, saying, "Comrade Ka Dian, do you have other matters?"
Yu Zhibo petted the black cat in his arms and replied with a smile, "I almost forgot to ask, how are the two awakened seeds I brought over this morning?"
"You mean that little sister and that young man? They have completely accepted being awakened ones now. Especially that young man, he's even excited about becoming an awakened one!"
As if recalling some of Chen Bo's foolish behavior, the D-class officer chuckled and said, "As soon as you brought them over this morning, the instructor spoke to them after they woke up, and even called their parents over. Da Feng Novel Network."
"Dad and Mom, and Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are here too?" Yu Zhibo couldn't help but show curiosity. "And then?"
"At first, they were unwilling, especially the little sister's parents. They said they already had a son who joined the Shen Hua Bureau and were determined not to let their last remaining child join.
Hearing this, Yu Zhibo couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a bit awkward.
The officer continued with a chuckle, "Then, when the little sister heard that her brother was actually an awakened one and didn't have to attend classes anymore after joining, she immediately changed her attitude and said she wanted to join the Shen Hua Bureau. She even threw a tantrum on the ground, almost getting spanked by her parents!"
Hearing this, Yu Zhibo couldn't help but shake his head secretly, "My foolish sister..."
The D-class officer went on, "Moreover, the instructor also told the girl's parents that awakened seeds are very dangerous. Once they awaken, they will attract dark creatures. After explaining the risks clearly, they finally agreed reluctantly."
"As for that young man, he agreed very readily. He's probably the type who often reads online novels and yearns for extraordinary powers. His parents couldn't dissuade him, so they agreed."
One thing the D-class officer didn't mention was that the young man and woman knew each other, so he suspected that these two might be Comrade Ka Dian's friends or relatives.
Otherwise, why would Ka Dian bring them from two schools so far apart, and then show so much concern for them afterward?
Of course, this thought only appeared in his mind for a moment before he dismissed it.
Commander Yang had said that all information about Comrade Ka Dian was to be kept confidential. He didn't dare to spread it around.
Yu Zhibo was not surprised by his good brother Chen Bo's reaction.
Because Chen Bo, even when he was incapable, would go around exploring spirits and constantly courting death. One could imagine how ecstatic he would be when he truly had the hope of obtaining extraordinary abilities.
He then asked curiously, "How will the military district arrange for them next? And how will their positions be assigned after they awaken?"
The D-class officer replied, "Of course, they will be placed in the spirit array rooms and given a certain amount of monster meat to eat daily. All three spirit array rooms in the military district are already full. Those two children are staying in separate single rooms and can only go out after they awaken.
The Commander has already sent a mission to the Taoist priest in the Execution Department. He should be coming to set up the array in a while.
As for their positions, they will be decided based on their abilities. However, according to the usual practice in previous years, most of them will be assigned to the Shen Hua Bureau, as the Shen Hua Bureau is responsible for handling extraordinary events in various places within the jurisdiction. But this year, there are many awakened seeds, so our military district should be able to get twenty or thirty of them!" Speaking of this, the D-class officer couldn't help but smile.
Although it was only a small portion, compared to the one or two in previous years, it was a qualitative leap!
In the past, he wouldn't even dare to imagine this.
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Yu Zhibo became even more grateful.
Next, the D-class officer led Yu Zhibo to the spirit array room where Chen Bo and Yu Xiaoying were staying, which was guarded by a group of heavily armed soldiers.
Yu Zhibo was quite interested in the spirit array room. He secretly activated his Sharingan to take a look and found that the room was covered by a light golden barrier, upon which a faint, supreme yang energy flowed, isolating the aura of spiritual energy.
No wonder it was so expensive.
One could imagine that if a dark creature accidentally touched this barrier, it would be burned, revealed, and then shot dead by the guarding soldiers.
Is this the method of Taoism? Yu Zhibo stroked his chin. In Naruto, there were also barriers that could achieve the same effect.
The D-class officer took out a jade pendant and placed it on the barrier. Soon, a portal appeared in the barrier, and the two entered the spirit array room.
The spirit array room was about two hundred square meters, with complete facilities and a full bathroom.
Furthermore, it used an internal air circulation system and had no windows, similar to a training room. A spirit gathering array was also installed at the air intake, making the entire room rich in spiritual energy, which was slowly absorbed by these awakened seeds, accelerating their awakening speed.
At this moment, dozens of soldiers were meditating on straw mats, seemingly trying their best to sense the spiritual energy in the air.
In a corner of the spirit array room, two single rooms were partitioned off. Yu Xiaoying was lying on the bed. Through the slightly open gap of the door, one could see her swinging her little feet and playing with her phone.
Chen Bo, however, was not in his room. Instead, he was excitedly inquiring about awakened ones from the soldiers who were not meditating, his eyes full of curiosity.
Yu Zhibo chuckled speechlessly. He opened his eyes again to check the interior and, finding no dark creatures had infiltrated, finally felt at ease.
After all, his current identity was in the image of Kakashi, so he didn't greet Yu Xiaoying and Chen Bo. He quickly left the spirit array room with the cat and the D-class officer.
After they parted ways, he prepared to head to Training Ground No. 5.
Update progress 53%, estimated time 56 minutes (Bonus: You can now consume 500 energy points to shorten the time by half!)
Starting the car and turning the ignition, Yu Zhibo inadvertently glanced at the update progress in his mind. Upon seeing the content in parentheses, he was speechless.
Damn system! You're trying to fleece me again. I won't indulge you!
Rolling his eyes, Yu Zhibo drove directly to Training Ground No. 5, preparing to purchase and learn Chidori and practice ninjutsu as soon as the time was up.
Upon arriving at the training ground, he first casually used two points of spiritual energy to mark a tree twenty meters away with the Body Replacement Technique seal.
"Hahahaha, I don't care about these measly two points of spiritual energy at all. Would I still run around carrying door panels for two points of spiritual energy like before?"
After planting the mark, he walked to the tree where Li Fang had lain while guarding him during his training yesterday, then jumped up, found a spot, and sat down. He took out his phone, planning to play on his phone until the update time ended.
And as he was sitting there, in a bush five kilometers away, not far from the electric fence surrounding the entire military district and the Shen Hua branch, an E-class peak tiger demon let out a shrill scream.
A dark creature pulled out a spear, which had been transformed from its arm, from the tiger demon's body.
And its face was covered with eyes and a mouth.
As if sensing something, it looked up in the direction of Yu Zhibo, a sinister grin appearing on its dark face. Then, the spear returned to its arm, and it lowered its head, leaning down towards the tiger demon's chest to begin feeding.
(I know this is a bit of filler, but it's hard not to go see my sister and brother!)
