Spirit Cultivator No.5's patience was even worse than what Wang Jixuan had expected.

It hadn't been long before she couldn't help but come over.

In the cooperation process between both parties, whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage. Clearly, Wang Jixuan now held the initiative.

The girl whispered, "Then, that... my family's elder wants you to make a trip over to discuss some matters about cooperation."

Wang Jixuan's face showed difficulty.

He sensed it, there was a strange Spiritual Charm about the girl. No.5 was obviously peeking.

Acting skills were still necessary; it was the minimum respect for No.5.

Daoist Wang cleared his throat and dodged the request with all seriousness, "I really can't leave my current affairs, I've just finished a meeting and I need to go refining War Puppets... Here's what, whatever No.5 Spirit Cultivator needs, just tell me directly, I will definitely do my best to satisfy."

"Eh, this..."

The girl's lips moved slightly, she seemed too soft-hearted and whispered:

"Well, okay... then, may I write a letter home? My parents don't know I'm still alive, I want to write them a letter to let them know I'm safe."

Wang Jixuan asked in amazement, "Your family doesn't know you're alive?"

"Yes," the girl said softly, "I was originally diagnosed with a terminal illness, only having a few months to live. My dad pulled some strings to send me to Snow Mountain, they said, as long as I was transformed into a Spiritual Ability User, I might regain my health. But I seemed to be in a worse condition at that time... then they placed me in front of my family elder's Stone Plate, and the elder cured me..."

Daoist Wang was curious, "Does your family hold a lot of power?"

"This," the girl blinked, "My grandfather is the Deputy Commander of the D2 Combined Combat Zone, and my great-grandfather is the Deputy Chief of General Staff."

Wang Jixuan showed sudden realization and then signaled Mu Dan to send a message to Ji Xiao for verification.

Come to think of it, the road back for Ji Xiao and Ji Yale, these two brothers, was also full of twists and turns. The attitude of the higher-ups in D2 was unpredictable. The two of them flew around in a transport plane, thankfully they finally returned safely.

"So it turns out to be a descendant of civil officials, no, a high official's descendant."

Wang Jixuan said formally:

"Please relay my apologies, once I'm done with my urgent tasks, I'll definitely go to have a talk with your family elder as soon as possible."

"Okay," the girl pointed towards the door, and upon receiving Wang Jixuan's nod, she turned and slipped away somewhat nervously.

Wang Jixuan watched the girl's retreating figure.

An A+ Level Spirit Ability User with a seemingly fragile character and family connections in D2, she could become the link for them to contact the upper echelons of D2 and strive to pull D2 into their camp...

'Never mind, it has nothing to do with Daoist me.'

'Politics, better to stay out of it if possible.'

Wang Jixuan shook his head, yawned and called for Mu Dan to head back to his own dormitory.

He took a nap first, and in half an hour, regained the energy spent in the chaotic battles he had been out on. Climbing up he was ready to rush back to his workshop.

"Commander, you had an appointment with Dragonfly Lady and Tree Man Beta just now."

"Right," Wang Jixuan asked, "Has Mane Bear been retrieved yet?"

"They're still on their way back, but they've already met up with our people sent out, and D2 didn't give any trouble."

"Hmm good," Wang Jixuan remembered the young girl and said, "Report the girl's request to Dongfang Zhenghong, verify her identity, and pass it along."

"Yes."

Wang Jixuan stretched lazily, looking at the set of clothes Mu Dan had prepared for him.

A suit was too formal, and Wang Jixuan preferred Tang or Sun Yat-sen attire; there was a set of sportswear and a set of casual clothes, the former being comfortable and the latter appearing more youthful.

Wang Jixuan decisively chose the casual outfit.

"Where is Lingtong now?"

"She's giving an inspiring speech at the front line. Do you need to summon her back to meet with you?"

"No need for now," Wang Jixuan said, "I'll go see her after my official tasks, I didn't expect being a hero to be so busy."

"That's true," Mu Dan smiled and said, "Heroes of the Fortress Era not only have to work hard to perform for the public and the soldiers, to motivate them, but no matter how dire the actual situation is, they always have to smile and convey the idea that 'we will certainly be victorious'."

"Is our situation dire now?" S*po^t an er@ro$r?. Vis-i@t the ori#gi.nal p#ost% on M&&V.L.EMP^Y&R%.

"The threat of the Blade Beasts, the threat of the Dominion Faction of Spiritual Ability City, each threat is enough to be fatal."

"It's only temporary."

Wang Jixuan did a chest expansion exercise: "Keep an eye on Lingtong's schedule for the following week for me, feels like it has been a long time since we last met. Talking with Xiao Shen reminded me, relationships also need to be maintained and heated up."

Mu Dan blinked.

Then she'd better coordinate with Ms. Wan in advance, playing her unofficial role as a wingman.

...

The location for lunch this time was chosen to be the hangar on the surface of the Fortress.

Mu Dan arranged for her 'subordinates' to set up a simple private room in advance and had brought some Blade Beast Meat for Wang Jixuan to showcase his skill.

After eating some charcoal-grilled Blade Beast Meat and drinking some industrial synthetic alcohol, Dragonfly Lady sighed and without beating around the bush, stated her request:

"Spiritual Ability City has sent a message saying I have been killed in battle.

"My trip to Snow Mountain Base was also claimed to be an investigative mission led by the Nature Faction.

"Now I need a new image... so, do you have weight loss surgery here? I really need it."

Wang Jixuan, Tree Man Beta, and the fill-in Shaman all leaned back at the same time.

They couldn't tell at the moment whether Dragonfly Lady had mixed in some personal desires.

Daoist Wang said seriously: "To my knowledge there is no weight loss surgery... Inside the Fortress, resources are calculated with precision and food is rationed, so it's rare for obesity to occur. However, if you have such a need, Mu Dan and her people can add a module and do it."
