Chapter 110: [109] Truly Worthy of the Title "Money-Adding Squad Leader," a Top-notch Expert Takes Action

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

This night patrol was coming to an end.

For a group of patrollers, last night was an unusually peaceful night.

But in Cheng Han's eyes, this seemingly calm night was only the beginning of a much larger and more terrifying storm.

The top-level structure of this world might undergo a significant change, and the subsequent impact could be unimaginably far-reaching.

And who could have imagined that the instigator would turn out to be a high school student?

As the dark light faded, Cheng Han sensed it and muttered to himself, "I definitely didn't cause any trouble. None of this has anything to do with me!"

He turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, everyone, let's end the patrol here and return to the outpost for breakfast!"

"Okay!"

"Understood!"

"Woof!"

The group (including the dogs) responded one after another.

After a night of hard work, every face showed signs of fatigue, even the steps of the spirit hounds became somewhat heavy.

Only Cheng Han's steps remained calm and unhurried.

Not long after, the team approached the sixth outpost.

Cheng Han's steps subtly paused.

The All-Knowing Eye had been activated again, sending a warning in the form of an illusion that an unwelcome guest had just arrived at the outpost's entrance.

Or rather, a troublemaker blocking the door.

Cheng Han quickly made a calculation.

After a moment of contemplation, he decided not to avoid it and confront the situation head-on.

One minute later, a patroller named "Zhang Haofang" had a change in expression and said, "Patrol Leader, the 'Yonghe' outpost leader from the seventh outpost has arrived."

Cheng Han showed a perfect look of surprise and said, "This guy came pretty fast."

As the saying goes, those who deceive others are often deceived themselves.

He had bullied the people from the seventh outpost last night, taking credit for their achievements with his subordinates. Naturally, they would find an excuse to come knocking on his door.

Of course, it was quite shameless for an outpost leader to come looking for trouble with a patroller.

Zhang Haofang lowered his voice and said, "Patrol Leader, do you want to avoid him?"

Cheng Han shook his head and interrupted, "No need."

At this moment, a rough and bold voice came over.

"Cheng Han, I've been waiting for you."

The person speaking matched his voice, with a strong and bear-like physique, giving off a carefree appearance.

It was indeed Yonghe.

Cheng Han didn't say anything, calmly gazing at the man.

He understood in his heart that this guy deliberately took advantage of Liu Yidao's absence and the fact that most people hadn't started work yet to quietly approach the entrance of the sixth outpost. This person's inner thoughts were definitely not in line with his appearance.

Yonghe strode over, wearing a shameless expression on his face. "I don't want to waste words. As long as you can withstand my 'Empty Slash' move, I'll turn around and leave."

Rookie patroller Zhan Bajing stepped forward and spoke a fair word, "Outpost Leader Yong, you're a retired soldier, and Patrol Leader Cheng is still a student..."

Cheng Han patted his classmate's shoulder and interrupted, "Bajing, step aside."

Yonghe didn't feel the slightest guilt for "bullying the weak," but instead laughed heartily. "Cheng Han, you're much stronger than those useless subordinates of mine. They were scared off by you and ran away, but at least you dare to stand here."

(Note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not capture the full meaning or nuances of the original Chinese text.)

Cheng Han remained calm: "If I escape, within an hour at most, the news of Cheng Han being scared to not dare to return to the sentry post will spread throughout the city."

This shameless scoundrel, how could he hide his secret plans from him?

A group of patrol officers' faces changed, each one cursing shamelessness in their hearts.

However, Yonghe's expression showed admiration: "It's rare to see someone like you, strong and intelligent."

Cheng Han remained calm: "You flatter me."

Yonghe seemed to want to settle the matter quickly: "Kid, I'm going to make a move..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

He suddenly froze.

"Bang!"

Cheng Han stomped on the ground, his figure soared over fifteen meters high, landing steadily on top of the sentry tower at the entrance of the sentry post.

It was the "Deng Que" style.

He waved at Yonghe: "Come up and fight!"

Yonghe immediately realized that his situation was extremely awkward.

It wasn't that he couldn't jump up.

But he was certain that the moment he jumped up, Cheng Han would definitely launch a thunderous attack from above.

At that time, he would be in mid-air unable to dodge, and with the need for a moment to switch techniques, he could only passively take the hits.

Yonghe couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Damn it!

This kid looks righteous, but he's actually an extremely cunning little fox!

Cheng Han didn't hesitate to provoke: "Mr. Sentry, are you afraid to come?"

As he spoke, he decisively took a stance as if slashing through the air, a dark aura surged within him, and his entire aura became extremely sharp.

Zhan Bajing and other rookies felt a slight stinging sensation in their eyes when their gaze met their squad leader's figure.

Yonghe fell into deep hesitation.

Jump?

Or walk away?

If he chose the latter, he would come with great momentum but leave with a disheveled appearance, which would be too embarrassing.

Cheng Han suddenly sneered, shouting loudly: "Third group of patrol officers, if Captain Yong retreats without fighting, immediately spread this matter."

This was improvisation.

It was also forcing the other party to have no choice but to fight!

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

Even the three dogs barked incessantly.

Yonghe's face changed drastically.

At this point, he had no choice.

This person clenched his teeth and stomped his right foot on the ground.

"Bang!"

A loud explosion.

"Crack!"

The road surface suffered an impact and cracks appeared.

His weight far exceeded Cheng Han's, so he needed stronger force, that is, greater kinetic energy, to leap to the top of the sentry tower.

At the same time.

Cheng Han shouted loudly and leaped down.

His hands turned into knives as he fiercely slashed towards Yonghe.

It was clearly visible that the air in front of his arms faintly rippled with a strange pattern.

Recently, Cheng Han finished digesting another bottle of secret medicine, and his strength improved slightly once again. He fully displayed the power of the "Void Slashing Style," surpassing his previous feat of killing the Tree Spirit.

From the moment the All-Knowing Eye issued a warning, he set up this scheme, determined to make Yonghe suffer a big loss.

So what if he's a retired soldier?

As long as he cleverly utilizes the terrain, he can still overpower the opponent.

After a brief pause.

"Boom!"

The two forces clashed in mid-air.

Yonghe groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and he fell even faster.

"Bang!"

A deeper sound.

Yonghe landed, his feet leaving a dent in the ground.

On the other side.

Cheng Han flipped in mid-air, using the recoil force to ascend, once again standing on top of the watchtower.

The situation returned to its initial state.

But this time, the battle was not without consequences.

He felt a surge of blood and dizziness in his head.

The strength of a soldier is indeed not to be underestimated!

Cheng Han took a deep breath and shouted, "Come again!"

Yonghe's face twitched, and without hesitation, he turned and left.

After suffering a setback just now, only a fool would come back for more!

The watchtower commander knew this very well. If they continued fighting, he would definitely spit blood on the spot.

Although he could recover in a few days, the fact that a soldier couldn't defeat a student might cause a sensation in the entire Qinglin City, and the embarrassment would only be greater.

The worst part is that if it becomes a big deal, even his position as the watchtower commander might not be guaranteed.

He had to leave.

And could only leave.

At this moment.

A group of people looked at the imposing patrol leader and then at the dejected Yonghe, their admiration about to burst.

Our patrol leader is so awesome!

*

Ten minutes later.

Liu Yidao arrived late.

After learning about the incident, he said four sentences.

This person went straight into the cafeteria and asked the first question, "Cheng Han, are you okay?"

Cheng Han took a big bite of a pastry and shook his head, "I'm fine."

His plan was extremely sophisticated, fully exploiting his strengths and avoiding weaknesses. What could possibly go wrong?

Liu Yidao raised a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "I rarely admire people in my life, but you are one of them."

Cheng Han rolled his eyes.

Are you here to talk nonsense? You're the watchtower commander, shouldn't you know what to do without me teaching you?

Liu Yidao chuckled and said the third sentence, "I'm going to block the gate of the Seventh Watchtower now."

Yonghe's internal organs were still in shock and hadn't recovered so quickly. Now is the best time to block the gate.

Liu Yidao walked to the door, then stopped and said the fourth sentence, "Cheng Han, you go back and rest for two days. I'll go get the money for your medicinal soup."

He paused for a moment and announced the amount, "At least two gold coins!"

Cheng Han finally smiled and said, "Thank you, Sergeant."

A good sergeant is someone who can seek justice for their subordinates, not someone who demands money.

Empty words and false promises, where is the real money?

*

Noon.

Liu Yidao personally delivered the money to the door.

A total of three gold and eighty silver.

More than expected.

Cheng Han smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Sergeant!"

Liu Yidao couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Truly deserving of being the bonus class leader," and then began to explain, "I blocked the entrance of the seventh outpost for an hour, and Yong and that scoundrel Guo didn't dare to come out at all.

"Later, someone from the General Office came to negotiate, and I talked for another hour, demanding three gold and twenty silver as compensation, plus sixty silver as the outpost's injury compensation."

He emphasized, "This is the highest compensation for minor injuries, and I have to follow the rules."

Cheng Han said seriously, "You are a good sergeant."

Liu Yidao's face twitched.

He naturally understood that Cheng Han's definition of a "good" sergeant, in plain terms, depended on how much money he had.

More money meant a good sergeant.

Less money, and Cheng Han couldn't be bothered with him.

*

One day later.

Cheng Han sat in front of the fireplace, studying ancient history, when he inexplicably felt a sense of oppression.

He carefully sensed for a moment and was full of doubt, "I didn't sense anything abnormal with the residual imprint. Could this be a sign of the All-Knowing Eye?

"I've never experienced this phenomenon before. Could it be a new function gained after reaching level 5?"

This seemed to be the only answer.

As time passed, the sense of oppression grew stronger.

Cheng Han began to feel restless.

He deliberately wandered around the outpost and had lunch.

After careful observation, including Liu Yidao, no one else showed any abnormalities.

Cheng Han pondered, "Am I the only one who sensed it? It seems that the All-Knowing Eye has foreseen some kind of drastic change that is about to happen.

"And I happen to have a slight connection to this matter, which is why I sensed it so clearly."

He looked up at the sky and murmured, "Are the top experts going to make a move?"

If that's the case, it would definitely be a world-shaking battle!

He rubbed his chin and said, "This might be a good opportunity to accumulate skill proficiency."

In the evening.

Cheng Han began to feel his heart pounding, as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse.

He paced back and forth in the room, looking restless and anxious.

"Meow~"

The black cat rubbed its head against its owner, trying its best to comfort him.

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head and sighed, "I'm afraid a major event is about to happen."

In the next moment.

He suddenly shivered, and an inexplicable suffocating feeling arose from the depths of his soul.

Cheng Han instantly realized that the top experts were making a move!
