Chapter 164: [163] Journey in the Snow, The Opening of the Drama

One of the consequences of the snow battle was that the black umbrella became Cheng Han's iconic item.

This is not just the fame effect of the victor.

It is also an aesthetic concept.

It must be admitted that the image of the young man in a green robe carrying a black umbrella, walking in the falling snow, does have a special meaning.

The men of Heishan Camp, who are used to seeing tough and powerful figures, couldn't help but feel refreshed when they suddenly saw a graceful young man who seemed to have walked out of a Chinese ink painting.

The lady of the Colonel's wife said, "The young man looks good with the black umbrella," which is evidence.

This beautiful woman can see it, and others are not blind, so naturally they can see it too.

The next day.

On the way to Qingfu Tower,

Cheng Han clearly noticed that many people would voluntarily make way when they saw the black umbrella from a distance.

When he walked past with the black umbrella, everyone paid attention to him.

Especially the servants, their eyes carried a certain amount of respect.

In this large Heishan Camp, there are more than six thousand ordinary people working here.

Although the soldiers have great power, there are also many with poor character, so it is not uncommon for servants to be bullied.

Cheng Han, in order to stand up for the servants, even fought fiercely with a team leader, so this matter naturally spread among the servant circle like a storm.

Before long,

Cheng Han arrived at Qingfu Tower.

The steward was particularly enthusiastic and quickly completed the registration, handing over the nameplate with both hands.

Cheng Han politely said, "Thank you," and the other party repeatedly said, "You're welcome," with a hint of intimacy in his expression.

Cheng Han walked through the main hall, stepped onto the path, and walked about a hundred meters along the road to reach another stone wall.

Using the nameplate to contact the illusion, he entered the Stele Valley, only to find a small wooden shed built in one corner of the valley.

Inside the shed, there was a low table, an exquisite wooden chair, and a brand new black umbrella placed on the table.

Anyone who sees the black umbrella will understand that this is the territory of a genius young man.

Cheng Han's mouth twitched and he sighed, "You went through so much trouble."

Where could he not know that this wooden shed was specially built for him by Qingfu Tower.

This is definitely special treatment.

It is also the influence of yesterday's battle.

Cheng Han entered the wooden shed and muttered, "Are people's hearts changing?"

He pulled out a chair and found a batch of charcoal and a small copper stove under the low table.

Cheng Han blinked his eyes, took out the copper stove, stuffed it with charcoal, and flicked a few sparks to ignite it.

Soon,

Warmth spread out.

Cheng Han sat down comfortably and looked at the stone stele not far away.

The symbol contained in the stele is the third of the eight Soul Refining symbols - the Ice Jade symbol.

Not long after,

A soldier walked into the Stele Valley.

This person had a second-level soldier's badge hanging on his chest.

The soldier was stunned for a moment when he saw the wooden shed.

His face twitched, and he walked to the other side, standing quietly in the snow, staring at the stone stele without blinking.

For a genius who became a third-level soldier upon entering Heishan Camp, most soldiers truly felt that they couldn't reach such heights.

To be on par with a genius, am I qualified?

For a while.

Beigu fell into silence.

After a while.

Cheng Han felt a slight fluctuation in the control of the Spirit Seal, and received a message.

This was a message from the Black Cat.

He pondered for a moment and issued an instruction: "Let's begin."

After a long time of planning, it was time to start the operation to close the net.

Cheng Han stood up and walked out of Beigu confidently.

The warrior suddenly let out a breath and muttered in a very low voice, "It's really stressful to comprehend the symbols together with a genius."

Five minutes later.

Cheng Han returned to Beigu, carrying a basket of nuts and strolling.

He took out a handful of nuts and leisurely started roasting them, casually gazing at the stone tablet.

Beside him.

The warrior smelled the aroma of the nuts and felt even more pressure.

*

Qinglin City.

The Qian family mansion.

The Black Cat carried a piece of bark letter and quickly entered the attic, placing it in a drawer and then sweeping the bell with its tail.

"Ding Ling!"

The Black Cat leaped onto the beam, its eyes filled with anticipation.

The master's hunting operation was finally about to begin.

Soon.

Qian Qingqing entered the attic.

After reading the bark letter, she murmured softly, "I hope everything goes smoothly."

The Black Cat wagged its tail.

Miss Qingqing, rest assured!

With this meow protecting you, nothing will happen!

Two minutes later.

The little girl found her younger brother in the backyard and stared at him without blinking.

Qian Changyun felt a bit uneasy under her gaze. "Sis, is there something you want?"

Qian Qingqing asked in response, "You've been going to the Ninth Outpost with a female classmate frequently, right?"

She knew that the so-called "going" actually meant playing with dogs at the outpost.

Under normal circumstances, Qian Changyun couldn't even enter the main gate, let alone bring a female classmate there.

But because of Cheng Han's influence, the Ninth Outpost warmly invited Qian Changyun to visit frequently, and this child even had several meals at the outpost.

Qian Changyun's expression turned a bit embarrassed when he heard the words "female classmate." "Yes."

This child deliberately emphasized, "We're just ordinary friends."

Qian Qingqing said impatiently, "I have something else to discuss with you now, it has nothing to do with your female classmate."

Qian Changyun responded with an "Oh" and put on a obedient appearance.

The little girl continued, "I need you to go to the Ninth Outpost and deliver a letter to Captain Cao Ruifeng."

In this drama, a legitimate reason was needed to bring the Second Battalion into the scene.

According to Cheng Han's script, Qian Changyun played the role of "matchmaker."

In any case, as long as the arrangements were made properly, even a child could play a significant role.

Qian Changyun was confused for a moment. "Sis, Captain Cao respects you a lot, why don't you go yourself?"

Qian Qingqing shook her head. "I can't go, the reason is inconvenient to explain."

A plundering gang that took the bait sent several undercover agents to closely monitor the Qian family's every move.

If a little girl suddenly goes to the Ninth Watchtower, it is likely to raise the other party's suspicion.

And the child who often takes his little sister to the watchtower to play is the perfect messenger, as he won't arouse the other party's suspicion.

Qian Changyun looked puzzled but didn't dare to disobey his sister's words: "Alright."

Qian Qingqing instructed, "When you go to the watchtower, play with the Spirit Beast for a while, then find an opportunity to hand the letter to Captain Cao without appearing too deliberate."

"Snap!"

Qian Changyun patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'm a good actor."

The little girl smiled ambiguously, "Oh? How did you learn to act? How many people have you deceived?"

Qian Changyun quickly changed the subject, "Give me the letter, I'll go now."

Qian Qingqing handed over a small bamboo tube and warned, "This is a very important thing. If you dare to open it, you won't have a peaceful life for the rest of your days."

Qian Changyun nodded repeatedly and quickly left.

The black cat followed lightly beside him.

With this meow following, this kid won't be able to open it even if he wants to!

*

Half an hour later.

Captain Cao Ruifeng of the Ninth Watchtower carefully opened the secret letter in his office, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He then smiled, "Isn't this a favor delivered to my doorstep?"

Captain Cao rubbed his hands together, exerting force that crushed the letter into crumbs in an instant.

He walked out with a calm expression and told his subordinates, "I have something to do at the General Office."

Captain Cao entered the beast shed, mounted a Feathered Beast, and left the watchtower.

Another half an hour passed.

Deputy Chief Yu Xianglong of the Inspection Office received the news from Cao Ruifeng.

He personally entered the "Mysterious Room" of the General Office and operated the communication array himself, sending a message to the Black Armor Army.

*

Black Mountain Camp.

Bei Valley.

Cheng Han leisurely sat in a wooden shed.

He was tired of eating roasted nuts and started playing the trick of making soup.

In the freezing cold, a bowl of hot soup was very satisfying.

Coincidentally, making soup took a long time, making it perfect for killing time.

Even the soldiers who were observing the stone wall couldn't resist Cheng Han's enthusiastic invitation and drank several bowls of hot soup.

After drinking these bowls, the distance between them closed, and the floodgates of conversation opened.

"I've been in Bingqiong Bei Valley for half a month, but unfortunately, I haven't found the opportunity to comprehend it."

"I plan to spend three more days comprehending it, then return to the First Battalion for a mission."

This soldier named "Peng Daoliang" took a sip of hot soup, his face filled with emotion.

"I envy geniuses like you who can casually barbecue and leisurely comprehend the symbols in the valley."

Cheng Han corrected, "I'm not playing, I'm capturing opportunities."

Peng Daoliang's gaze swept across the table full of ingredients and the steaming pot, and he twitched his face.

Forget it!

You're a genius, you're amazing. Whatever you say goes!

At this moment, Cheng Han finished another bowl of soup and stood up, saying, "I'm going to the restroom."

He held up a black umbrella and left confidently.

Peng Daoliang glanced at the clay pot and then at the stone tablet, muttering softly, "Will doing this really help us find an opportunity?"

"These past few days in the Eagle Eye Monument Valley, several people tried to barbecue, but the more they grilled, the more distracted they became, unable to calm their minds and contemplate."

He shook his head, "The world of geniuses is beyond the understanding of ordinary people."

Soon.

Cheng Han returned.

He sat by the stove for a while, and his gaze suddenly became unfocused.

Peng Daoliang had a faint premonition and stared at Cheng Han with wide eyes.

One minute later.

A change occurred.

"Crack!"

Peng Daoliang suddenly heard a sound, as if an illusory freezing sound came from within Cheng Han's body.

This guy was stunned.

No way?!

Just by drinking the soup, he effortlessly comprehended the Ice Qiong Symbol?

"Buzz~"

The Ice Qiong stone tablet vibrated several times in succession.

The snow in the entire valley mysteriously hovered in the air.

Peng Daoliang looked left and right, his face filled with disbelief, "He really comprehended it."

There is a saying in the Heishan Camp, "Ice Qiong condenses, snowflakes stop."

It means that when the Ice Qiong Symbol is condensed, the snowflakes will stop.

The scene before him perfectly confirmed this saying.

After a while.

A group of people walked into the monument valley.

The leader was Vice Captain Tiefeng of the Second Battalion.

When this group of people saw the snowflakes stagnating throughout the valley, they were all stunned.

Tiefeng glanced at the young man with closed eyes, then at the bubbling clay pot emitting white steam, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn, this is fucking amazing!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

A few seconds later.

Cheng Han opened his eyes.

He saw Tiefeng's figure and asked curiously, "Captain Tiefeng, why are you here?"

Tiefeng didn't answer, but congratulated him, "Cheng Han, you have once again broken the record for comprehending the Ice Qiong Symbol."

The previous record was sixty-eight hours.

Now it has been significantly shortened to thirty-two hours, more than a fifty percent reduction.

Cheng Han remained calm, "I had already comprehended the characteristics of the Ice Element Mystical Arts before, so mastering the Ice Qiong Symbol wasn't difficult."

He then asked, "How many battle merit points can the Second Battalion get this time?"

Tiefeng reported a number, "At least eight hundred points!"

Cheng Han nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad."

It wasn't in vain that I worked hard here for nearly two days.

Tiefeng raised the letter in his hand and finally explained the purpose of his visit, "I came to find you this time because there is something very important."

Cheng Han smiled inwardly.

The news from Qingqing had finally arrived.

All the "actors" for this script were ready, and it was time for the drama to begin.
