Atlas of Heaven and Man

After carrying the items into the weapons room, Chen Chuan placed them in a corner of the room. When he turned on the lights, each piece of armor gleamed under the light.

At this moment, he took out the repaired spear of the Iron Demon and placed it in the hands of the mannequin. After tightening the movable joints, he took a few steps back and looked at it, nodding with satisfaction.

Now it's all set.

He also took out the two ceremonial swords he had been awarded, as well as the short sword he had seized from Fei Tong. He wiped them with maintenance oil and placed them in the positions he had decided on beforehand.

Finally, he also placed the Star Medal pistol on the gun rack on the wall.

Although the harvest was not great this time, he believed that with accumulation, the collection here would become more and more abundant.

After standing there admiring it for a while, he left the villa and drove back to Xuangong Building. As he entered the underground parking lot, he nodded to Hongfu above.

The winter sun was bright and dazzling, shining in and illuminating the room, casting long shadows behind.

He stood here for a while.

He clicked on the Interface Token and logged into the academy's platform.

Besides obtaining special drugs, his participation in the defense mission also gave him access to the upper-level forces.

Now he could apply to Wu Yi for a mentor to guide him on how to cultivate in the next step.

So he clicked a few times, quickly came to the relevant interface, and clicked on the application.

This time, he checked the box indicating that he had participated in the defense plan, and then sent it up.

After a while, Hongfu's voice sounded in his ear:

"Student Chen Chuan, your guidance application has been received. Because it is necessary to verify your application qualifications, it may take a few hours. Please wait patiently."

Chen Chuan turned his thoughts. This was probably because the information from the Convergence Land had not been updated in time, so he could only wait. He looked at the time.

It was already late December, and he could almost prepare to return to Yangzhi.

So after thinking about it, he went out and sent a telegram to his family, informing them that he would be back in a couple of days.

Then he contacted Lao Qi to ask how he was doing recently.

Lao Qi told him that his daughter, Qiqi, had successfully transferred schools under the arrangement of the Fusion Boundary Company, and that he had been hiding in the room arranged by Wu Bei these days. Everything was normal, and no one had come to bother them.

It was just that recently, in order to avoid the limelight, they were only spending money and not earning it, so they didn't have enough money. They planned to go out to do commissions after the New Year.

Wu Bei interjected at this time, saying, "Recently, I've been watching the neighborhood, and no one seems to be looking for Lao Qi. I think either they've given up, or they've found the real target."

Chen Chuan gave an "Mm" sound and said, "If that's the case, that's the best, but we still can't be careless. I won't be in Central City during the New Year. Lao Qi, if you're short of money, you can take it from the team's public funds and use it first. Don't rush to pay it back. Just make up for it when you have a surplus in the future."

Lao Qi knew that at this time, it was better to be careful than to be reckless for a little profit, so he said, "Little Brother Chen, Little Brother Wu, don't worry. I know what to do. You two have helped me so much. I can't help you, but what I can do is try not to cause you any trouble."

Chen Chuan felt in his heart that if the plague gang from the Lower City didn't come looking for him again, he wouldn't pursue the matter any further. After all, those things had nothing to do with them, but if they really came looking for him, then don't blame him for being impolite.

After ending the call, he communicated with the Fusion Boundary Company. Yan Yi was responsible for replying. He told them about his return to Yangzhi and asked about the company's recent situation.

Yan Yi replied that Meng Shu's side had no abnormal situation, the company's business had returned to normal, and informed him that a year-end bonus would be deposited into his account.

Seeing that everything was fine here, he contacted Gao Ming, Lu Fang, and others, informing them that he would be returning soon. Gao Ming said that he still couldn't get away from the affairs of the office during the New Year period, and that he didn't have anyone at home, so he didn't plan to go back.

Lu Fang said that he was preparing to return to Yangzhi, so Chen Chuan suggested that he might as well take his car back together. Lu Fang thought it was a good idea, thanked him, and the two agreed on a date.

After notifying everyone who needed to be notified, he began to prepare for his return home.

While doing things, he logged on to the Defense Plan platform to check. After going to the Convergence Land, many functions could be seen. The biggest section was the trading platform.

The biggest item on this was the trading of special drugs. After all, some Third Threshold fighters, due to their own abilities, had no motivation to go up, or realized that their talents were insufficient, simply gave up and only used special drugs as a source of income.

This thing was indeed very popular. As long as the price was not too outrageous, it was almost always taken away as soon as it came out.

The second was the trading of various special items and intelligence from the Convergence Land.

The Convergence Land was very large, and almost every day new species and things that had never been encountered were discovered. These were acquired by official organizations, companies, and even specialized intelligence agencies.

It was here that he discovered that, in addition to the fighters organized by the government and companies, the platform was also full of a large number of civilian fighters. These people were unwilling to be restrained and accepted employment in the form of mercenaries. Most of the time, they were employed by companies, and sometimes they also accepted tasks from governments around the world.

And these mercenaries, in addition to a few Third Threshold fighters, were mostly First and Second Threshold fighters.

He didn't know where these people came from at first, but later, after talking with Counselor Pei, he learned that most of the soldiers and fighters in the garrison were trained in the army, and some came from the residential areas and cities established behind the Convergence Land.

These places were originally just outposts and exploration points of the governments and corporate consortia of various countries, but over the past seventy years, they had grown larger and larger.

The residents of these cities and residential areas constituted the main source of lower-level mercenaries in the Convergence Land. They were themselves on the front line, so they had the motivation and willingness to participate in the defense plan.

However, because most of them had been in the Convergence Land since birth, they had almost no contact with the edge cities and Central City, which made him see that there were many hidden dangers.

However, these were not his concern. He came to the query section. In addition to understanding information, the main reason was that he needed to establish a team, so he wanted to see if he could recruit suitable people from here.

After entering his number, a lot of personnel information popped up.

After a simple flip through, there were indeed many personnel who seemed suitable on the surface, but the specifics still needed to be seen. He looked at it and felt that a certain person was more suitable, so he sent an invitation to talk.

But after waiting for a while, the other party did not respond. It seemed that the other party was not there.

At this time, a reminder tone came from the Interface Token:

"Chen Student, your guidance application has passed the review of the review committee, please wait patiently, the academy will send you the information of the guidance teacher one month later."

Chen Chuan thought for a while, one month later, that would be after the New Year, but it didn't matter, even if the teacher was arranged now, they wouldn't come to teach him at the end of the year, which would not delay his return to Yangzhi.

After receiving this news, he felt a lot happier.

After withdrawing from the platform, he spent half a day sorting things out, and then went out again, as usual, to the Baoguo Market to buy some gifts.

On the way back, he turned the steering wheel and came to the place where Tan Zhi lived.

This person's rented place was a large house, the layout looked similar to the house of Teacher Zheng, after contacting on the external Interface Token, the door opened, and he drove in.

Tan Zhi's voice came from his ear: "Student Chen, park anywhere in the open space, I'm in the practice room, just come in."

Chen Chuan parked the car outside and came to the practice room, took off his shoes and walked in.

When he got inside, he saw Tan Zhi standing in front of the weapon rack, wiping the sweat from his head with a towel, and opposite him was a well-built female teacher, wearing a practice suit, standing there with a sharp aura.

It was just that this person's eyes flickered slightly when he saw Chen Chuan.

Tan Zhi introduced: "This is Teacher Wei, I specially invited to guide me. Teacher Wei, this is my classmate, Chen Chuan."

Chen Chuan felt that, at the moment of seeing himself, this Teacher Wei seemed to have a trace of panic in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

He looked at the other party twice, nodded and said: "Teacher Wei."

Teacher Wei showed a smile, "So it's Student Chen, I've heard Student Tan mention you. I've seen the video of your fight with Wei Wusheng, you're very powerful."

Chen Chuan said: "Thank you."

Teacher Wei turned to Tan Zhi and said: "Student Tan, since your classmate is here, we won't disturb you." Saying that, she nodded to the two people and walked out directly.

Tan Zhi hurriedly said: "Teacher Wei, walk slowly."

He turned to Chen Chuan and said: "This Teacher Wei is not easy to invite, she is now a security consultant for the City Council, it is said that she has a good relationship with a certain councilor, um, that's the way it is, you understand... If it wasn't for my family helping her in the past, she owed a favor, otherwise it would be impossible to come and teach me."

Saying that, he came to the freezer here, took out two cans of drinks, handed Chen Chuan a can, opened it himself, and drank it down, exhaling a breath.

"Today, the neighboring Dance and Drama Academy has a new song and dance drama, it is said that many new students have joined, how about it, are you interested in seeing a show? You can call Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin to go together."

Chen Chuan said: "Forget it, I'm going to prepare to return to Yangzhi these two days, I came to see you today and pick up Chao Ming."

Tan Zhi said regretfully: "Then I can only wait for next time. By the way, Student Chen, you told me last time that you bought some services from the Secret Snake Sect? I heard that they need a recommender, can you recommend me?"
