There was a man and a woman standing outside the door. They were mercenaries who had been with Raven Drag. Xin Ji pretended to be very cautious and did not open the door immediately, but asked through the door: "Who?"

"I am Wei Lin from the Burning Tiger Mercenary Group."

The petite female mercenary reported her identity, then looked up at the probe on the door, and said patiently: "Mr. Shi, we have no malice. Don't you invite us in?"

There was no response from the room.

The other male mercenary gradually showed impatientness on his face and whispered: "Sister Wei, he is ungrateful, let's go back."

"Godden, when will you change your impatient habit?" Wei Lin glared at him, "How can we explain to the deputy commander when we go back like this? Just because he asked us to wait for a minute?"

Gordon was quite dissatisfied and was about to speak when the door opened.

Xin Ji looked at the two of them with a wary look and asked, "What are you asking for me?"

"Mr. Shi doesn't have to be so careful." Wei Lin showed a sweet smile on her face. She knew that this person would not invite someone to enter easily, so she said straight to the point: "We are from the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group, and Mr. Shi must have heard of it. Mr. Shi showed off his good sword skills in the restaurant not long ago, which made our deputy leader appreciated very much, so he specially sent us to invite Mr. Shi to the Mercenary Group as a guest."

"Your deputy commander?" A little surprise flashed in Xin Ji's eyes.

"Hmph, my father is a master of swordsmanship at the level of a military general. He is famous throughout the space city. Don't you know?" Gordon didn't seem to appreciate Xin Ji, and was dissatisfied with his disrespect to his father.

However, Xin Ji shook his head, "I just came to Juling Space City not long ago, and I have never heard of this deputy commander."

"you……"

Gordon was immediately furious and was about to take action on the spot, but Wei Lin pushed it to the side with a palm and said to Xin Ji: "Mr. Shi, you are laughing. Gordon is the son of our deputy commander. He is young and ignorant. Please forgive me."

Xin Ji's indifferent gaze swept across Gordon. This man is in his thirties and is still young. However, this man is a high-level warrior with excellent talent. He must have been spoiled by Raven Drag, like a child who has not grown up.

He thought about it for a while and nodded, "It's okay, please lead the way."

"That's great, Mr. Shi will come with me." Wei Lin seemed very happy. She had read Shi Hongyi's information before coming and knew that the other party was withdrawn and difficult to get along with. But Gordon, a troublemaker, came to join in the fun halfway. She thought she had to go a few more trips before she could invite the other party, but she didn't expect it to be done in one go.

However, she could also understand why Shi Hongyi compromised so easily. The deputy commander is of high power and is a military general. No matter how proud Shi Hongyi is, he will definitely feel pressure in his heart and dare not be proud of the deputy commander.

The three of them came out of the Mercenary Club, got into a speed car, and headed straight to the base of the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group, which was the meteor-level cruiser hovering in the sky.

In the car, Gordon repeatedly provoked Xin Ji with his eyes, and Xin Ji was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Wei Lin had no choice but fortunately the speed arrived at the destination soon and flew directly into the side hangar of the cruiser.

After entering the warship, Xin Ji's eyes kept looking around, his eyes full of curiosity. Gordon finally seized an opportunity to laugh at him and whispered: "Homesick."

Xin Ji looked at him coldly, his eyes cold, like a sharp sword, which made Gordon feel inexplicably cold and he took a step back. Then he felt embarrassed, and was frightened by a glance, but he did not dare to provoke again. He left the two words "unstrength" and found a step for himself and left in a hurry.

Looking at Gordon's departure, Xin Ji felt a little bored. This was the first time in his life that he had met such a brainless person. If he had changed places, he would have beaten him up long ago.

Wei Lin was surprised that Gordon, who had always been lawless, was even afraid.

She laughed secretly and said to Xin Ji: "Mr. Shi, please go here."

Xin Ji nodded and said nothing.

Walking in the warship passage, Wei Lin introduced: "This meteor-class cruiser is the most important asset of our Burning Tiger Mercenary Group and is also the headquarters. The leader of the regiment paid more than ten years of hard work for it and invested huge amounts of money to ask for repair and maintenance. However, the service life was too long, and it could only reach 70% of its combat effectiveness at its peak."

"Seventy percent of the combat power is already very strong." Xin Ji exclaimed in a rare voice.

Wei Lin was quite content to hear this.

The four major mercenary groups in Juling Space City are slimly higher than the front line because of this warship. Other mercenary groups have at most semi-armed spaceships and have good combat power, but how can they be compared with real warships? Even if this is just an old warship, it is enough to suppress more than five semi-armed spaceships at the same time when fighting!

However, what she didn't know was that after entering the warship from the speedway, Xin Ji's telepathy never stopped, and he glanced at the warship from beginning to end over and over again.

In just a few minutes, the cruiser had no secret in Xin Ji's eyes.

Xin Ji didn't know much about the warship, but he could also see that the Burning Tiger Mercenary Group was indeed very concerned about this warship, spending a lot of money and manpower, carefully maintaining and most of the functions could operate normally.

The most important nuclear fusion power furnace, super-light engine, energy deflection shield, as the main gun, a high-energy particle cannon and six secondary cannons, hundreds of aerospace fighters in the hangar, as well as more than 200 pairs of power armor, and hundreds of missiles in the ammunition warehouse, are like a formal warship that can be put into battle at any time.

Of course, only Xin Ji can see the powerful firepower of this warship if he has telepathy. Its appearance is deliberately made very old and dilapidated, obviously covering up his eyes.

But no matter how old it is, it is also a warship.

Xin Ji was puzzled. Such a powerful cruiser was anchored in the space city. Isn’t the city lord Gustav afraid of its threat?

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

Unless Gustav also has warships of the same level, or he has reached an unknown tacit understanding with the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group, and they are even in the same group!

Xin Ji secretly speculated that Lao Wu mentioned this in his information, and suspected that Gustav had something to do with the Blood Handprint, but Nelson did not explain the identity of the city lord Gustav. It may be that his level is too low to contact. Now it seems that even if Gustav is not a member of the Blood Handprint, he is well aware of the Blood Handprint and even provides shelter.

"As long as you find Zhuang Xiaolin to secretly peek for a while, you will naturally understand."

Xin Ji's telepathy glanced back and forth and searched everyone on the cruiser, but unexpectedly, he did not find Zhuang Xiaolin's figure.

"Zhuang Xiaolin is not on the warship?"

He was helpless immediately.

According to Lao Wu's intelligence, Zhuang Xiaolin is a low-key person. He stayed on the warship almost all the time when he had no mission and rarely appeared in public. Now that he is not here, he is very likely to have left the Space City. Obviously, with Lao Wu's intelligence ability, he is not enough to grasp the whereabouts of a high-level general at any time.

"I can only wait a moment. Maybe he has not left Space City, but has just gotten off the boat for the time being." Xin Jixin thought.

A moment later, Wei Lin took Xin Ji to a reception room on the upper floor of the warship.

"Deputy Commander, Mr. Shi is here." Wei Lin reported, then turned back and introduced to Xin Ji, "Mr. Shi, this is Deputy Commander Lei Wen Drake of our Rape Tiger Mercenary Group."

"I have seen Your Excellency Lei Wen." Xin Ji nodded and said hello without being humble. If ordinary people were in front of military generals, they would inevitably be a little nervous, but Xin Ji would not. It was not that he had the confidence, but that Shi Hongyi's personality was like this. He was born with a cold face and was not good at dealing with people, so he seemed a little arrogant to others.

It would be fine if he had the corresponding strength, but the strong would inevitably be a little arrogant, which others could understand. However, Shi Hongyi was arrogant but not strong, and often suffered losses. His death in the last employment task was not unrelated to his indifferent personality.

Wei Lin called Mr. Shi when he came to the door. It was obvious that the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group had checked Shi Hongyi's information. Xin Ji could only try his best to play the role of Shi Hongyi and maintain his previous personality.

Raven Drake stood up and waved his hand, and said gently: "Mr. Shi, please sit down."

Xin Ji nodded slightly and sat a few meters away from Lei Wen, keeping an appropriate distance. Lei Wen shook his head in his heart. As expected, Shi Hongyi's personality is a bit strange, he is withdrawn by nature, and always keeps a vigilant attitude towards outsiders, not even a friend.

"Mr. Shi just arrived at Juling Space City, right?" Lei Wen didn't hide it and directly stated that he had sent someone to investigate.

Xin Ji's expression changed slightly. He hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Yes, I have been active in the Black Ice Asteroid Belt before. I came to Juling Space City for the first time two months ago."

The Black Ice Asteroid Belt is another unlawful place for the Federation.

"I have also been in the Black Ice Asteroid for a while. I have to say that the conditions there are much better than Juling Space City. It has a large population, a wide range of business, and has a newer and more convenient living hardware facilities. If it weren't for the fact that the leader's foundation is here, I wouldn't have been willing to leave." Lei Wen said casually, but Xin Ji could hear the unspoken voice.

Lei Wen is testing it because Shi Hongyi died and disappeared for nearly a year. The Blank Tiger Mercenary Group of this year must not be found. Now it suddenly appears in Juling Space City, and there must be a reason for it.

Xin Ji had already thought of the words and pretended to be a little unspeakable: "I'm not afraid of Mr. Lei Wen's joke. Actually, I don't want to leave, but I accidentally offended a big man in the Black Ice Asteroid Belt, so..."

"Big man?"

Lei Wen asked curiously: "Which big shot, maybe I know you, maybe I can tell you something."

Xin Ji's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "I offended Boss Qian. Do you know him?"

This boss Qian is indeed a good man. He is a big black market businessman in the Black Ice Asteroid Belt. He is extremely powerful and has a guard group of thousands of people under his command. Shi Hongyi did have a holiday with boss Qian before, but it was just a small matter, far from being able to survive and need to escape.

In fact, Boss Qian's real identity is similar to Old Wu, and he is also an informant of the Federal Intelligence Agency. However, this person is in a lawless place. Over the past few decades, he has become bigger and bigger, and his mentality has changed. Now he is close to the Federal Intelligence Agency and has almost become a real black market businessman.

Lei Wen obviously knew Boss Qian, and shook his head and said, "I have met Boss Qian, but I have no friendship. I'm sorry I can't help you."

Xin Ji showed a little disappointment on his face and he remained silent.

Seeing him like this, Lei Wen believed in his heart that this person's origin should be fine. However, he still had a question. Judging from the information, Shi Hongyi's sword skills in the past were only of ordinary people, and were far less sharp than he had just seen. If he had such a powerful sword skills before, he would not have been so miserable.

"Mr. Shi, I invite you to visit me this time just to share my experience in swordsmanship with you." Lei Wen said without bending around the bush, "I was really amazed when I saw you playing the Storm of the Wind in the restaurant. There are many people who can Storm of the Wind in the Space City, but none of them can match you."

Speaking of swordsmanship, Xin Ji was quite content: "I have practiced the Storm of Wind for decades. In the past year, I had to hide my name and practice swordsmanship hard. Unexpectedly, I broke through to Tongche's realm, which was a blessing in disguise."

"So that's it." Lei Wen nodded. Many people have made rapid progress under pressure, which makes sense.

Regardless of whether Shi Hongyi’s words were true or false, Lei Wen didn’t care much. He just wanted to learn the sword technique. He stood up and said, “I have loved swords in my life and mastered many sword techniques, including the Storm Sword. I wonder if Mr. Shi is willing to compete with me for his face?"

Xin Ji stood up and said confidently: "It is my honor to be able to fight against Lord Lei Wen."

"Okay, it's good!" Lei Wen couldn't wait to take Xin Ji to the training room of the battleship, and the two compared each other with the fast wind sword.

After the fight, Xin Ji discovered that Lei Wen's swordsmanship was not as profound as expected.

Lei Wen is known to master many sword techniques, but many but not skillful. The most powerful five or six sword techniques are all in the realm of enlightenment, and the remaining dozen sword techniques are only proficient. It is obvious that Lei Wen's sword skills are not as talented as his cultivation talent. If he is not a junior general, he may not be able to get through ten moves in front of Xin Ji.

Many times, Lei Wen suppressed the Force's cultivation to the advanced warriors, and Xin Ji only responded with the Wind Quick Sword, so it was difficult for Lei Wen to win.

However, Lei Wen enjoyed it. He was obsessed with swordsmanship and rarely had the chance to meet opponents of equal proportion. He just competed once or twice and was not satisfied. After the day ended, he immediately made an appointment with Xin Ji for the next time to compete in the sword.

Xin Ji couldn't ask for it, and he also wanted to stay on the warship to find Zhuang Xiaolin's whereabouts.

After that, Xin Ji boarded the cruiser of the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group every two or three days, and competed with Lei Wen for several hours of swordsmanship. He deliberately held back and won the victory and defeated each other.

During this period, Xin Ji eavesdropped on the conversations of people on the warship through telepathy and learned that Zhuang Xiaolin had received a mission not long ago and left the Space City with several confidant generals. It is still uncertain when he will come back.

This made Xin Ji a little helpless, and he could only say that he was not lucky.

He had no choice but to focus on communicating with Lei Wen's sword technique, cleverly grasping the strength of the sword technique, improving it bit by bit, and occasionally inadvertently pointing it out, making Lei Wen's sword technique slightly improve, making him mistakenly think that this was the result of many trials, and he found Xin Ji more frequently to communicate his sword technique.

As expected, after confirming that Xin Ji was at the origin of him, Lei Wen became interested in talent and officially invited Xin Ji to join the Thunder Tiger Mercenary Group half a month later.

Xin Ji pretended to have to think about it for a few days. It was not until Lei Wen sincerely invited him many times and offered him a very attractive salary and treatment that he agreed. Lei Wen, as the deputy leader, had the power to recruit people and did not need to be approved by the leader Zhuang Xiaolin. He personally announced the decision to his subordinates and introduced Xin Ji to everyone.

After that, Xin Ji stayed on the warship, telepathically scanning the entire ship, waiting for Zhuang Xiaolin to appear.

More than a month later, Xin Ji was practicing in his room. At the end of 3021, he had cultivated eighty Force nodes to the limit. At this speed, all nodes should be able to reach the limit around September next year.

Just as he was silently calculating when his attack on the general, suddenly, he telepathically sensed that a landing plane had entered the hangar of the warship.

Several people were sitting on the landing plane, and one of the extremely fierce breath was shocking, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time, containing terrible power.

Xin Ji's heart jumped and he immediately understood: "Zhuang Xiaolin is back."

He carefully focused his telepathy on Zhuang Xiaolin. This man was huge and strong, nearly two meters tall, with a strong face. His short brown-red hair stood upright like a steel needle, with occasionally a red light flashing in his eyes. He was carrying a huge battle knife, which was more than one meter five meters long, and the blade was as wide as a bench. The overall shape was like a butcher knife that was magnified dozens of times. It was made of some material. It looked extremely heavy, at least two or three hundred kilograms!

"His code name is butcher, so do you have to use a butcher knife?" Xin Ji thought.

Zhuang Xiaolin went straight to the bridge of the warship after getting off the landing plane and gave an order. Everyone on the ship gathered on the deck No. 1, and the members of the group who were still in the space city rushed back immediately, and the expiration date was not over.
Chapter completed!
