The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1149

(Unedited)

…

An expression of annoyance quickly appears on both of the men's faces while looking at the young man before them.

Xin Ja did not want to bother with the two people before him and quickly stood up.

His action startled the two men as they quickly took defensive action. But what Xin Ja did next startled the two men.

He turns around and walks out of the carriage.

He jumps down from the moving carriage and decided to walk beside it.

Although Xin Ja is an introvert, he is not a pushover. He would fight back when someone bullies him, and he would bite if someone provokes him. That is the kind of person he is, and that is the attitude he has developed over the years of his isolation and training.

But of course most of the time, Xin Ja wanted to be alone and just his own business. But who would have known that those two men would try to take advantage of him because of his age? They thought that he would bow his head before them just because they are seniors? Well, Xin Ja has experienced a lot and has faced many types of people starting when he began going to the forest and hunting beasts.

He knew these types of people and did not want to stoop to their level so he decided to ignore them.

The two men on the other hand are fuming in anger for the 'disrespect' they have suffered at the hands of the youth. But they did not want to chase after him and cause a ruckus. This is the military and they did not want to be reprimanded by the officers.

The middle-aged man glared at Xin Ja while watching him walking beside the carriage. But he did not say anything.

Xin Ja continues etching runes while walking. Although it is a bit distracting, yet he is able to practice both his senses and his concentration. Being able to divine one's concentration in multitasking is something that is already second nature to him, so this is not that hard to do.

The army walked for the whole day and stopped marching at dusk.

They set up tents in the nearby forest and prepare food. Some who did not want to eat their ration decided to hunt. With permission from their superior officers, a group walks deeper into the forest.

Xin Ja did not mind this as he just calmly sits in one corner and continue doing his own thing. If he is hungry, he would secretly take something out of his pocket which in truth comes from his ring.

He began to muse on how he could survive further in this war. He has already modified his Ki Buster, and it is already good enough for him to fight those in the 5th level and below. But his main problem is his slow growth. Although the artifact provided by Master Wang is very reliable, it is not enough to boost his absorption rate.

He has many runes in his mind, but those are not high enough to boost that Ki.

Xin Ja knew that his soul belongs to a lower-tier world, and his previous life is a weaker being. In fact, if he would meet his previous self which is Shin Jiao, he could tell that Shin Jiao would look upon Xin Ja as a god.

Because right now, that is what he is… a low-level deity.

And this world called Myrth is the Heavenly Samsara planet, the world where Gods are sent to be punished for their wrongdoings in the known universe.

His purpose in coming here is a bit unbelievable for him as he knew that those things are impossible to happen.

That's the reason why he just decided to live a normal life and just take anything that comes his way.

Even though the things he learned from his unique vision come from the lower world, he still finds them very useful and advantageous and that would be true in his current situation.

"I need to make more Ki Busters and ammunitions, just in case…" he thought.

"I also need to craft more pills and potions… Sigh, I have a lot of things to do." Xin Ja could only shake his head upon thinking of things that he needed to survive.

Suddenly, he remembers some of the armor designs from his unique vision. But he decided against them. The reason for this is the complicated arrays to make those armors work.

Xin Ja has a lot of things in his mind right now that he did not notice a figure walking right up to him.

"Hey… Have you eaten yet?" a beautiful female voice said behind him.

Xin Ja was a bit startled and quickly turn around.

He saw Senior Yao staring right at him with a wooden bowl in her hand.

"Ah… Yes…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"Good… Still, I want to have this…" Senior Yao handed him the wooden bowl as she walks and seated beside him.

"How… how are you, senior?" Xin Ja asked awkwardly.

"I'm good… the other officers are good to me," she replied with a smile.

"That is fine then… I wish you a good military carrier." Xin Ja lowered his head an awkwardness and began eating the porridge.

"This war… this war will change our lives once we are able to return alive…" she muttered while looking at the twin moon hanging in the sky.

"Little Junior Ja… you be careful in the war, okay? Don't be a hero since you will be in the front lines." She said feeling a bit helpless.

"If only I am able to transfer you to be a medic…" she muttered.

Xin Ja's ears perked up upon hearing this. The reason why he was transferred to ride with the medical masters is actually not her doing? Then who is the person who helped him then?

Upon thinking to this point, Xin Ja scratches his head and said.

"Senior… Umm… I was already transferred… to the medical team."

When Yao Mai Lin heard this… her expression turned into a surprise.

"Really? How? I mean… who is helping you?"

"I don't know… I have no idea why is this happening…"

"Well, anyway… that is fine. I'm already at ease upon hearing this. I just hope that you can continue to serve the kingdom as a medic. That way your contribution would surely be high… If I am accepted as an official officer, I promise to help you too…" she promised.

The two laughed and began to talk with each other.

Xin Ja learned that Yao Mai Lin is actually very popular in the army. She knew this but decided to ignore those guys buzzing around her. This is no time for love affairs, their lives are on the line and she needs to get her head in the game.

As a junior strategic officer in training, she still needs a lot of things to learn. Hence she needs to focus and not get distracted.

While the two are talking, a few young officers have noticed them.

One of them is a stately-looking young man and behind him stood a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man is the same man who is riding with Xin Ja in the carriage and has a haughty attitude. But right now, the same middle-aged man stood subserviently beside the stately-looking young man.

"Is that the guy you are talking about?" the young man asked the middle-aged man.

"Yes, Young Master Kiwon… He is that guy who is creating bone runes. I am not that proficient with runes, but I could tell that they are defensive in nature. If we can get our hands on such runes, then we can ensure your safety…" the middle-aged man said with a fawning smile.

"Hmm… I wonder how effective they would be in a real battle. I heard that the runemaster's association has prepared a lot of defensive runes for the army and the officers… But I guess it would not be bad to have more, right?" the stately young man called by the middle-aged man as Young Master Kiwon said with a smile on his face.

"Nab him tonight… get all of his stuff and throw him back in the front lines…" Young Master Kiwon said with a grin.

His eyes then landed on the beautiful figure sitting beside Xin Ja.

"That Yao Mai Lin is really becoming a beauty as she grows up… I guess it would be time for her to be a woman soon…" he muttered with an evil grin.

When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression turned into delight.

"Do you want us to get her too young master?" he said with a fawning smile.

But what greeted him is a smack at the back of his head. The hit almost made the man faint.

"Are you stupid or something? Do you want to die? She is a junior officer in training. If we touch her, then our heads would roll… Damn idiot." Young Master Kiwon said as he turns around and left.

The middle-aged man feel insulted but did not dare to go against the young man.. Instead, his eyes landed on Xin Ja with a venomous glare.
