Chapter 790: Chapter 790

Apologies, I forgot to update.

The battle went very smoothly, after all, the enemy’s base was stolen. When the battlefield fell into chaos due to the loss of command, naturally, someone would come to investigate. The news that the main base was destroyed couldn’t be concealed at all.

Having lost their commander, combined with the spreading news which caused the soldiers morale to plummet, the battlefield was swiftly decimated.

In just under a day, before the enemy reinforcements arrived, the Blood-colored Empire’s forces across the entire asteroid were virtually scattered. The entire asteroid was thoroughly under the control of the Star Ring Alliance.

Although the reinforcements had already arrived, so had ours, and both sides had received news of the other’s arrival.

Therefore, the battle could not continue. When Du You returned to his own base, he found that both sides had already completed negotiations. Du You didn’t know the negotiation process, but the Blood-colored Empire would completely withdraw from the No. 66 Asteroid.

"They sure negotiated quickly." Du You smirked. He also knew that a small asteroid, to both sides, was just a small place. And it wasn’t a particularly important or symbolic place, so it wasn’t highly valued by anyone.

However, for the soldiers themselves, it was a different story. When they saw Du You’s appearance, many people’s attitudes changed.

The initial repulsion and indifference had completely disappeared, replaced by ingratiating behavior.

When he met Colonel Hade, Du You finally understood what was going on. "Congratulations, this time you achieved such a great advantage, your merits are tremendous. I will be reassigned to command elsewhere, and you will have to go to the branch base for a medal ceremony. For your performance this time, the higher-ups have decided to bestow upon you the rank of Major."

Major already? That was quick. The Major rank is enough to manage a peripheral asteroid, or an unimportant planet. In the whole military system, that’s quite high.

Although this system belongs to the Star Ring Company’s military and not the army, they are quite similar.

"All for the Star Ring Alliance." Du You gave a well-intentioned reply.

"Well said, all for the Alliance, you really remind me of myself in my youth. This was given to me by my superior when I first went to the battlefield, I’ve always kept it with me. Now, I’m giving it to you in the hope that you won’t let me down."

With that, Colonel Hade handed a mechanical-looking spider to Du You. Du You recognized it as a very common spider bomb that was outdated a long time ago because it’s not very useful.

But in Colonel Hade’s hands, this item had significant sentimental value. Du You had a hunch that it might be very useful to him. Even though he wasn’t sure what for, he carefully put it away.

"I won’t let you down." Du You simply responded.

The superior’s order came very quickly. In less than two days, the Major’s appointment was made, but he must go to the branch base. The branch base is the command center for this war zone and is a very large planet.

And Colonel Hade, he was reassigned to command battles on other planets. After receiving the medal, Du You found the Professional Guild near the branch base and then secretly entered it.

"Don’t worry, we’ll take care of everything. As long as we have the Crystal Coins in place, there will be no problem at all."

The person in charge solemnly assured Du You, and he left right after that.

As a large number of light spots scattered open, Du You, under the structure of Spirit Energy Particles, returned to Earth. At this point, Du You’s aura was fluctuating continuously, much stronger than before, but still had not broken through yet.

"She’s not here anymore, right, it has been a long time." Looking at his watch, Du You discovered that several days had passed. Du You waved his hand, taking his two sisters and quickly leaving the place.

After they reached a safe location, Du You finally opened the panel.

Do you want to advance to fourth tier? If advanced, the occupation will maintain the current state. If not advanced, you can choose to accept the professional advancement task. After directly advancing, you will automatically advance.

"Why is there another occupation advancement task? What’s going on? Watch, check for me."

"Data investigation completed." Many pieces of information appeared on the watch.

While Du You was looking at these articles, he was also pondering his current situation. Finally, Du You understood that he could choose to advance now and his profession would not change.

But it would affect future potential because entering the fourth tier is an essential turning point. This is also an opportunity for job advancement. If he gave up, it’d have a considerable impact on him.

Every person who advances in their profession may not seem to change much on the surface, but actually, their strength is significantly increased. Even this professional advancement might affect future advancements.

But the articles didn’t explain very clearly, Du You didn’t know whether this was intentional or because it was indeed vague.

Du You looked at his two occupations, and there was a plus sign behind them.

"Master, our advancement task is to hunt a hundred fourth-tier demons." The two sisters were looking at their own advancement tasks. Du You realized that his task couldn’t be opened, it seemed not all advancements were this straightforward.

"Alright, since someone has proven that professional advancement is beneficial, let’s wait until the professional advancement is over. After all, there are no enemies now, let’s head back to school first." They were outside the city now.

Being chased and killed before, Du You had not forgotten. As long as he could return to the city, to the school, he would be safe. As the Capital was not an ordinary place and in there, no one would dare to casually massacre others. Even descendants of the powerful forces wouldn’t dare to do that because there were too many forces holding each other back.

Those people dared to draw him out to deal with him, but inside the city, that was safe.

Besides, Du You wanted to go back to find out what’s the story with the Dark Night Mercenary Group that attacked him.

Along the way, the three of them were very careful, worried about encountering ambushes on the road. But all the way back, they found no issues, and once they entered the city, they finally felt relieved.

Instead of heading home, Du You called for an autopilot car and drove towards school. Around the academy, information exchange was very efficient, and most data could be accessed as long as a certain amount of Crystal Coins was paid.

Arriving at the underground black market, Du You and the others hid themselves. "I need information on the Dark Night Mercenary Group."

"Ten red crystal coins." The person across nonchalantly said.

"Is it that cheap?" Du You was somewhat surprised. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Since there are too many people inquiring, the surface information isn’t a secret. If you want to find hidden information, the price will be higher."
