Dilian was slightly puzzled upon hearing this, "Oh?"

Jiang Xiao said, "These past few times, Han Jiangxue accompanied me to cultivate a relationship with Xing Long (Star Dragon). The more I try to get close, the more arrogant that little broken dragon becomes. Han Jiangxue didn't say a word, but when we were leaving just now, that broken dragon缠绕住Han Jiangxue’s ankle.”

Dilian asked, "Is that so? What did you guys do?"

Jiang Xiao said helplessly, "What else could I do? I just stood outside the glass room and guarded it. I was a little worried that Xing Long would self-destruct again, but the Xing Long was having a great time playing with Han Jiangxue."

Dilian: "......"

Jiang Xiao said, "Seriously, I suspect that little broken dragon is deliberately trying to anger me. It flew around Han Jiangxue, playing and having so much fun. It was so happy, a picture of perfect harmony. I feel like it's deliberately showing me."

Dilian was silent for a while, and said, "That's very possible. The dragon race has a proud personality and, most importantly, high intelligence."

As she spoke, Dilian stood up and said, "Little friend, rest here. I'll go take a look at the base."

Just as she stood up, the phone in Dilian's pocket rang.

Dilian took out the small black brick phone: "What is it?"

From the other end of the phone, came an excited voice of a young man: "It's done! Mr. Di! Han Jiangxue has absorbed the Star Dragon cub as her star pet!"

Dilian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Jiang Xiao: "Han Jiangxue has successfully absorbed the Star Dragon."

Jiang Xiao, with his face raised, looked surprised: "Really? Our conspiracy succeeded?"

Dilian looked astonished: "What conspiracy?"

Jiang Xiao said, "When I came out, I told Han Jiangxue to try to negotiate with Xing Long and tell Xing Long to stay by her side forever, so that the little broken dragon can anger me for the rest of my life."

Dilian: "......"

Jiang Xiao, looking refreshed, stood up, smartly straightened his clothes, and said, "That's it? And it's highly intelligent? Heh..."

Dilian suddenly said, "Have you noticed a problem?"

Jiang Xiao: "What?"

Dilian: "Star Warriors pursue powerful star beasts, and generally use forceful methods to subdue their cubs, so the absorption rate is particularly low.

But under the premise that the star beast has a certain degree of intelligence, if the star beast cub and the Star Warrior reach a consensus, can the probability of absorbing it as a star pet increase?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, unsure whether the teacher in front of him was telling him knowledge or asking him a question.

Dilian's cloudy eyes seemed to glow, and said, "This is a very good research topic."

Jiang Xiao didn't know what to say, so he just responded, "Wow~"

Dilian suddenly frowned and said, "But the requirement that star beasts possess higher intelligence excludes most star beasts. Moreover, star beast cubs are already rare, and highly intelligent star beast cubs are even rarer. This experiment is not easy to carry out."

Jiang Xiao: "You can say that again."

Dilian said, "Let's go take a look."

Jiang Xiao shook his head repeatedly: "I'd better not go for now. It's easy for it to explode when it sees me."

Dilian nodded in agreement: "Then wait until Han Jiangxue has cultivated a deep relationship with it before you go see it. No matter how proud a star pet is, it will consider its owner's feelings."

Jiang Xiao subconsciously wanted to say "How novel," but he resisted and did not expose his comic sidekick attribute.

Looking at Dilian's departing figure, Jiang Xiao shook his head. It seemed that the creatures in the Dragon Cave were not suitable for Jiang Xiao.

This race was too proud and always acted alone. It probably wouldn't want Xiao Zhuhuo to depend on it.

In the Dragon Cave, there was only one species that could form groups, and that was the Crystal Dragon.

So, to be precise, only the Crystal Dragon would allow companions by its side and allow the Black and White Candle to depend on it.

But would Jiang Xiao choose a Crystal Dragon to be his star pet?

Obviously not. Jiang Xiao already had Han Jiangxue, so what would he need a Crystal Dragon for?

Wasn't Han Jiangxue useful enough?

Hmm...

You must know that the Dependence star technique of the Black and White Candle is not used casually. There is a probability of failure, which can lead to the death of the star pet.

When depending on the Yingying Bear at the beginning, the Yingying Bear was still a cub, with its mind full of eating, drinking, and sleeping, with a cute and silly look. The dependence was so easily successful.

After that, whether it was the Devouring Sea Garment or the Wengweng Whale, they both actively requested to follow Jiang Xiao and cooperated very well with the Dependence star technique of the Little Candle.

The Soul of Devouring Sea was once of platinum quality, and the Wengweng Whale was directly of diamond quality. If they had resisted in any way, the consequences would have been disastrous.

While thinking, Jiang Xiao turned to look at the lake, took a quick run-up, and made a leap.

Bang!

Water splashed everywhere, bombing the fish!

Oh ho, did he bomb out a Wengweng Whale?

Jiang Xiao didn't use Domain Tears. If he did, he would lose the feeling of playing in the water. In the Domain Tear area, Jiang Xiao would only get the feeling of weightlessness in outer space.

"Weng..."

"Hehe." Jiang Xiao poked his head out of the lake. His own Wengweng Whale was good, so strong, yet so gentle, and not proud at all.

While thinking, Jiang Xiao was slapped into the water by the Wengweng Whale.

"Glug glug..." Jiang Xiao turned around and around in the lake, feeling dizzy and spitting out a string of bubbles.

This string of bubbles made Jiang Xiao even more convinced of a truth: to have fun, you must find companions who are about the same size as yourself, otherwise you will really be bullied!

"Shh~" At some point, an extremely tall figure walked to the lakeside. She looked at the tumbling lake and whistled.

Since there was no Devouring Sea Garment and the Domain Tear area was not opened, Jiang Xiao's hearing and vision were impaired when he was in the lake.

But the Wengweng Whale obviously noticed the arrival of its little friend. It twisted its body, its back surfaced, and a huge stream of water sprayed towards Er Wei.

Er Wei casually released a Calamity Shadow Ruins, and a space door stood in front of her, but the splashes of water that fell on the ground outside the Calamity Shadow Door still soaked her trouser legs.

Jiang Xiao finally poked his head out of the water, looked around, and found Er Wei standing on the lakeside. He waved to her: "Come down and play together."

Er Wei beckoned to Jiang Xiao and said, "Assemble."

"Okay." Jiang Xiao responded with a slightly disappointed voice. With a flash, he stood beside Er Wei.

He smoothed his wet short hair and said, "Is there a new mission again? The team members must be bored with the Dragon Cave door closed, right?"

Er Wei frowned slightly as she looked at Jiang Xiao. He shook his head and shook off the water droplets, splashing them all over Er Wei. She didn't dodge, just wiped the water droplets off her face and said, "People from the Northwest Night Watch Army are here."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Er Wei said, "The independent legion stationed in the Dragon Cave, together with the Northwest Night Watch Army, will hold an commendation meeting for our team."

Jiang Xiao: !!!

Looking at Jiang Xiao's surprised appearance, the stiff lines on Er Wei's face softened. A military medal is an honor and an affirmation for a Star Warrior soldier!

Er Wei continued: "The person who came is Commander Feng Yi."

"Feng Yi..." Jiang Xiao muttered the familiar name in his mouth. This was a confidant of the number one person in the Northwest Night Watch Army.

Er Wei suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed down on Jiang Xiao's short hair. Her expression was extremely serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Don't do anything out of line."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. Looking at Er Wei's extremely serious appearance, he nodded gently.

......

After returning to the base, Jiang Xiao immediately took a bath, changed his clothes, and put on a set of dark black Night Watch Army uniform according to the order.

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, this time, the base distributed the Night Watch Army's regular uniform.

This was also the first time Jiang Xiao had worn a regular uniform, and he could feel the formality of this award ceremony.

He stood in front of the mirror and carefully tidied up his clothes. The leather shoes fit well. He tightened his shoelaces, stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and shook the epaulettes on his shoulders in front of the mirror.

The regular uniform was unfamiliar to Jiang Xiao, and so were the epaulettes. At this time, Jiang Xiao was "carrying" the distributed black Night Watch epaulettes on his shoulders, with two thin golden bars and a star on them.

This was really a serious Major Jiang...

If there were no accidents, there would soon be another star on his epaulettes.

Jiang Xiao was someone who had stood on the podium of the Star Warrior World Cup, but at this time, the more Jiang Xiao tidied up his clothes, the more nervous he felt.

Fortunately, Zhong Ling was there to protect him.

The bell rang, and Jiang Xiao's excited heart suddenly cooled down, and it was still icy cold...

After calming down, Jiang Xiao finally noticed the figure standing behind the crack in the door.

Han Jiangxue pushed the door open. Her clean and neat regular uniform made Jiang Xiao's eyes light up. For a moment, her former image of a fairy-like figure in a long dress was even overshadowed.

She silently looked at Jiang Xiao and said softly, "They will be proud of you."

Jiang Xiao nodded and corrected, "Us."

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao and was silent for a long time before nodding with a smile, "Let's go."

In the base,

In front of a conference hall, the Wei Yu Troupe was neatly lined up, standing at the door.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao also felt the special nature of this award ceremony.

And Jiang Xiao could never have imagined that this moment, which should have been extremely exciting for him, would fill his heart with incomparable heaviness after the door in front of him opened.

This large multifunctional conference hall in the base could probably accommodate more than a thousand people, but most of the seats were empty.

The seats were empty, but they were not completely empty.

There was no one in the seats, but there were neatly folded regular uniforms, and on top of those different types of regular uniforms, there were medals of merit.

When Jiang Xiao followed the team onto the stage, the picture became clearer.

Only a little more than a hundred soldiers were sitting upright in their seats, and the seats in front, behind, left, and right of them were filled with folded military uniforms.

There were wasteland-colored Pioneering Army uniforms, dark black Night Watch Army uniforms, and dark green Shattered Mountain Army uniforms.

In a team that should have had 8-10 members, there were many cases where only 1 person was left sitting in the seat.

The award ceremony was completed in a solemn atmosphere.

Formal, and not formal.

After the concise opening remarks introduced that this was the award of the "Collective First Class Full Moon Medal", the huge conference hall was terrifyingly quiet.

There were no speeches from anyone, and the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Feng Yi took the Night Watch Medal, came to Jiang Xiao, carefully put it on for Jiang Xiao, patted his arm gently, and didn't say much.

"Awarded the Night Watch Full Moon Medal, reward skill points!"

Jiang Xiao was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the information in the inner vision star map.

After everyone put on their medals, Feng Yi quietly stepped back and stood aside.

Special mission, special team, special ceremony.

Jiang Xiao's eyes swept over the Chinese soldiers sitting in the audience, looking at the military uniforms stacked on the seats...

The empty conference hall was not empty.

Every piece of clothing was a heroic spirit who died on the battlefield.

Jiang Xiao seemed to see a series of illusory figures, sitting solemnly on them.

That momentum was like a mountain, accompanied by the surviving comrades-in-arms beside him, silently watching the people on the stage.

"Wei Yu Troupe!" Er Wei suddenly spoke, and the team members raised their heads and chests, standing up straight.

"Salute!"
