The Military Queen-Chapter 69 - 60: Looking for Trouble

quickly confirmed the information, his Military Merit Points changed just like last time, from 0 to 600. "Haha, it seems number 0 is still quite loyal, you bunch of brats, now I have the confidence." Number 500 couldn’t help but jump up in the brewery, completely oblivious to the people pointing fingers at him nearby, as someone who just gained 600 Military Merits, he felt the thrill of winning a lottery.

The two players who were previously chatting switched topics: "After we prepare our Weapons and Equipment, should we also take some tasks from the military station like the Korean Soldiers? I think the current system task is a bit risky, among the several optional system tasks, there is even one to meet with the King of Amor."

Many players harbored this idea, those who entered the main battlefield had realized, "Military Road" truly begins now, the newbie trial system tasks were merely a piece of cake, and the system tasks in the main battlefield of Babylon City were basically impossible to complete.

Number 500 thought the same, in the crowded and powerful Babylon City, based on historical records, the King of Amor, indeed was the most renowned king in the history of Ancient Babylon - Hammurabi.

In the strictly hierarchical slave dynasty, players who only have the status of free citizens, trying to meet Hammurabi, undoubtedly face an impossible task. Failing system task one also means failing system task two. Fortunately, upon entering the main battlefield, new places including "military stations" and auction houses have emerged.

Besides distributing military pay, "military stations" also provide various tasks for soldiers. The scope of tasks covered is wide, ranging from simple civilian tasks to responsible missions like escorting merchants. Depending on the task, players are awarded a certain amount of Military Merit or Military Coins. This provides an alternative way for players who cannot successfully complete system tasks.

Yu Xiaonan quit "Military Road"; he had already realized that staying too long in Military Road, as spiritual power and Physical Strength change, brings about a certain level of fatigue. Before choosing to complete system tasks or accept tasks offered by the military station, he needed a good rest.

"Fortunately, I still have enough time, it’s almost September, the boss is probably going to Longzhi as his Devil Instructor role again," as he lay on the three-meter-wide bed in his own villa, Yu Xiaonan blissfully closed his eyes. Compared to Lu Xun, who was busy during the day, he had ample time to enter "Military Road" and accumulate Military Merit at night.

********

On August 1st, 2064, Xia You, carrying simple luggage, took a ordinary long-distance bus and after more than four hours of bumpy ride, arrived at the picturesque base of Longzhi Mountain.

As a national 4A scenic area, Longzhi Mountain rises one thousand meters high, surrounded by other mountains. Longzhi Academy is situated on the slopes of Longzhi Mountain, from afar, one can see a cluster of campus buildings.

The bus could only stop at the foot of the mountain, the upcoming four to five hundred meters climb seemed to be on foot. Xia You had just taken a few steps when a cloud of dust rose behind him, several brightly colored sports cars roared past, and a beer bottle was thrown out, landing right next to Xia You’s foot. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The beer bottle still wasn’t empty, the remaining liquid splashed out, the bottle spun in the air, and as Xia You reflexively blocked, the beer bottle flew diagonally and hit a recently passed azure blue sports car.

The sports car immediately stopped, and a blonde female student with numerous piercings in her ears jumped out, dressed in a belly-baring tank top and ultra-short denim shorts. As soon as she got out of the car, she started cursing loudly, "Where did that bitch come from, daring to throw a bottle at my car? Can you afford to pay if you broke it?" As the female student cursed, she stood with one hand on her hip, her ceramic Burberry bracelet swinging continuously. Seeing that Xia You didn’t wear anything of value, she hurled abuses without any scruples.

Due to Longzhi Academy, Longzhi Mountain is divided into two areas: below 300 meters in altitude, it serves as a scenic area for ordinary tourists. From 300 to 600 meters, it is designated for the learning of students from Longzhi Academy, and the area at 600 meters altitude is a cold zone used for special training. Ordinary sightseeing buses can only go up to the foot of the mountain, and only school vehicles and private vehicles issued with a pass by Longzhi Academy can go up the mountain.

The few sedans that passed by a moment ago were vehicles with such a special pass, and the students driving them came from families that were either rich or noble, and even at Longzhi Academy, they still acted high and mighty.

Just now, Xia You’s dodge and counterthrow landed a beer bottle onto the female student’s car, unfortunately, her car, being a thinly-painted Korean car, now sported a not-too-conspicuous dent.

"If you really want to blame someone, go after the car in front. That Heineken beer bottle was thrown out of their window," Xia You didn’t bother and continued walking forward on her own.

The blonde female student and the cars ahead of her belonged to the same group, among them, some were children of military officers directly enrolled, some were from well-known wealthy families in Hua Country.

Their family elders took great efforts to secure them admission to Longzhi to reform them through its rigorous teaching style.

"Don’t leave, I didn’t see any other car, I only saw you throwing the bottle at my car," the female student persisted unyieldingly. Xia You looked at her car, on the front passenger seat, still scattered were two or three bottles of Heineken beer. The female student was clearly nitpicking, Xia You didn’t want to argue any further, as the two were currently blocking the mountain road entrance and it was the start of the school term, there were many passing vehicles.

Xia You didn’t want to argue further and continued walking on her own. She had just taken a few steps when suddenly, the sound of revving engines came from behind, and the female student actually drove her car sideways across the mountain path, blocking Xia You’s way and cursing foully with unspeakable vulgarities.

During the standoff, a horn sounded, the blonde female student thought someone was interfering and was about to retort when upon seeing the vehicle, she suddenly fell silent.

The vehicle looked familiar to Xia You, she recalled, this vehicle resembled the military jeeps she had seen in Prehistoric Space, except it wasn’t equipped with weapons like those in the year 2564. Still, the appearance of a high-chassis military-grade Volvo in the picturesque Longzhi Scenic Area was jarring.

The obviously modified Volvo, draped in Shen Lv’s yellow-black camouflage, had an oversized exhaust and impatiently spat out white smoke, its dark tea-colored windows obscuring the driver inside. On the license plate marked with an ’A,’ in Hua Country, military vehicles with an ’A’ plate only came from one place—Rand Military District.
