Star Hunter 023: The Secret of the Outstanding Ones

  When Minghe found out that Wuchang had once lost his memory, he put away the mocking expression and said seriously, "I think you should be very clear about the ranking of martial artists. From the first rank to the seventh rank, each rank is higher than the previous one. According to legend, there are also eighth and ninth ranks at the peak of martial arts, but no one has ever seen them."

  "As for what we call 'outstanding', it's actually not a term from the martial artist system, but rather a graded title from the spellcaster system..."

  In the introduction of Stygian River, the power system of this future universe world finally revealed its true face. It turned out that when humans discovered and began to study the source energy, the door of the great universe era had already been opened.

  The importance of Yuan Sheng energy is not only reflected in the application of space folding engines, nor is it limited to the use of rainbow crystals, liquid secret silver, and folding black obsidian. In fact, Yuan Sheng energy is closely related to every individual.

  The simplest point is that this universe has the profession of mages, and the basis for mages to cast spells is the source energy, also known as magic power.

  "The ranking system of mages starts from the Outstanding, followed by Battlefield Golden Finger, Spellcaster, Mentor, Great Mage, and Star. The hierarchy is very clear and distinct, from low to high. For now, you don't need to understand the realms above Spellcaster, as they are too far away. Now, I'll mainly tell you about the Outstanding and Battlefield Golden Finger."

  "Standouts, as the name suggests, are people who stand out from the ordinary crowd. They can sense the existence of the original energy and use it inadvertently, just like the punch you just threw, maybe even you don't know how it happened, but that punch already carries the power of fire elements, the flames on my shoulders came from that."

  "Outstanders cannot cast spells on their own, they can only call upon these elemental powers in small amounts during combat. Perhaps a hint of flame vortex will appear when they punch, or a thread of icy poison gas will attach to their blade. Primary outstanders are completely unable to control the elemental power, but advanced outstanders can already use these powers very easily in their moves."

  He said, "You inadvertently sensed the fire element and used its power. If you can meet a good master, you might be able to grasp the method of flexible use and become an advanced standout. Don't look at me, I'm an advanced standout, but I have no idea how to teach you."

  "As for the Golden Fingers on the battlefield! The difference between them and the Outstandings is that they can already cast spells independently, unlike the Outstandings who must combine magic and martial arts. These people generally master some simple energy explosion-type spells, such as fireball, flame explosion, lightning, etc., but you have to remember that for Golden Fingers on the battlefield, casting spells is only a supplement to their martial arts, and what truly allows them to defeat their enemies is still their own martial skills."

  Minghe is indeed a good teacher, in his mouth, the classification of warriors and mages was dissected as clearly as Pao Ding's cow dissection. Many people need to teach for three days, but he only used more than an hour to make it very clear. Moreover, Wu Chang also obtained important intelligence that on Huang E Star, the strongest are only warriors, and there is not a single outstanding mage.

  He had been a teacher for several hours, looked at his watch and stood up "I have to go, I've delayed too long. Finally, I'll give you one last sentence, try not to return to Huangyecity within the next two months, don't ask me why" After finishing speaking, Minghe turned around and left.

  "When can we meet again?" Wu Chang stood up and shouted towards Minghe River.

  "Don't worry, I'll take the initiative to find you, after all, I still owe you money, right?" Ming He's head also wouldn't turn away.

  Watching the distant River Styx, Wu Chang's heart was filled with emotions as he saw many familiar things in it, and scenes of his past life as a bandit flashed back to his mind.

  "What kind of person is the notorious space pirate, Fallstar? Someone who dares to use the name of a legendary thief and unites all the pirates in the universe under his rule, creating rules for them. I must see this person for myself."

  Incoherent muttering, everyone heard it, but people all took his words as a joke. The notorious thief had already become a legendary figure, and with the influence of the notorious thief in the universe, even the emperor of the Ma Tau Lok ring was not worthy of tying his shoes. Just because you are an insignificant smuggler, you still want to meet the legendary notorious thief, it's simply a pipe dream.

  "One should be down-to-earth and not have grandiose ideas, our heads are still tied to our waistbands, don't think about those unnecessary things." Laine started lecturing again.

  At this time, the Manchu cow who had greatly recovered also came over and looked at Wu Chang with a face full of admiration. "Boss, you are my idol. What should we do now? You come up with an idea."

  It was clear that the sudden appearance of Wú Cháng had stunned everyone present, and control of the entire squad had now completely shifted to him. Even Old Man Pan didn't utter a word of complaint.

  "We'll tend to our wounds first, and then I have a plan in three days..."

  The A332 mine area of Sevenc has been quiet recently, a large number of miners were forced down the well by Sevenc, and everything was solved in the tunnel. Although the miners were very angry, no one dared to resist, three days ago the corpse of the miner who was shot was still hanging at the entrance of the mine, and the shackles on everyone's wrists were still flashing with regular light.

  Mining crystal is originally a matter of luck, the crystal is buried in the dark volcanic rock, no one knows how long it will take. Even if everyone is lucky enough to encounter high-grade crystal, it's not necessarily possible to mine it out, even Wu Chang doesn't dare guarantee 100% success, let alone ordinary people.

  Seven days have passed, and the longest crystal that Su Wen has collected is only 4 cm long. As for those low-grade crystals of one or two centimeters, a whole box was collected.

  "This bunch of trash, pigs who eat for free, if they can't dig it out in a month, I'll fill the whole mine with them..."

  These days, in the office of Tu Lang Sai Wen, all kinds of curses can be heard. The furious Sai Wen makes everyone tremble with fear, even the naturally abnormal Adou doesn't dare to approach him easily.

  "Husband, stop yelling, I have some good news" Bursting into the room like a whirlwind, Blood Rose interrupted Severn's tirade.

  "What's the good news, did you dig up more gold coins from Irene's broken house or something?"

  "Oh no, why are you so annoying? I'll tell you, Nozomi has the crystal you want, and it's said to be 15 centimeters long."

  "Ah!" Sevin jumped up at once "What did you say? 15 centimeters? Where did you get the news from?"

  "Still isn't my good subordinate Jing Jie, right? She disguised herself as A Yun's little dog's mother and managed to dig out quite a bit of useful information. Even the safe hidden in the wall was revealed by that little dog..."

  "Shut up, Cao! Stop wasting words, I'm asking you about the crystal!" Xie Wen's nose was almost crooked with anger.

  "Alright, don't rush me. Yesterday, Ah Yun stole a lot of gold coins, and Jing Jie was in a good mood, so she gave Ah Yun a good face and even cooked a delicious meal for her..."

  "Oh dear, I'm begging you, can't you just get to the point and stop beating around the bush?"

  "Alright, alright, I know. Yesterday Ah Yun was moved to tears when chatting with his fake mom and inadvertently revealed that Wu Chang had a 15cm rainbow crystal hidden in his miner's vest..."

  "Adou... Adou... Get the hell out here..." Saiwen threw down the nagging Blood Rose and led his men to advance southward.

  Saiwen's calculation was good, the cannibal tribe in the south had been cleaned up by Ye Tian and others, now is the safest moment to go. If Wuchang died, it would be convenient, if Wuchang didn't die, Saiwen wouldn't mind playing a game of hunting either. However, Saiwen had a strong premonition that the guy who could be called Ghost Wuchang couldn't die so easily.

  "Damn it, bring out the land rover I've been treasuring, fill up the energy bar, and put on the individual radar..."

  "Trash, don't just bring assault rifles, also bring some pistols and grenades, beware of ghosts who like to get close for melee..."

  "Adu, you arrange the guards for the mine well. After we set off, absolutely do not let these miners slack off. Whoever makes trouble will be killed..."

  In the chaos, Sevyn hastily organized over a hundred thugs, packed into more than 30 civilian vehicles, advancing towards the southern stone pillar forest despite the wind and snow. To be honest, Sevyn was also very skeptical of Ayun's intelligence, but now he couldn't afford to hesitate, as Roda Mine's surveillance had been pressing him almost every day, driving him nearly crazy.

  Now Ah Yun's intelligence is a lifeline, no matter whether it works or not, try first.

  When Saiwen and his men disappeared into the black snow, in a dark corner of the mine area, a small figure was looking around, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the little thief A Yun.

  "Brother Wu Chang, that place up ahead is the ration distribution center where Blood Rose usually hangs out. Are you sure you want to go in?" Ah Yun asked cautiously.

  The person in the shadow was none other than Wu Chang, who secretly returned to the abandoned mine area after resting for three days in the stone pillar forest. He didn't do anything else, but first contacted Ah Yun. The requirement for a sneak attack is accurate intelligence, and Ah Yun is a very good intelligence officer.

  "Don't worry, Sevyn has already transferred the elite troops away. The remaining rabble I can handle. Although we can't take down Sevyn directly for now, we can at least get some interest back first."

  Before long, the airtight door of the A332 delivery center was opened, and a burly man in a dirty yellow cloak, commonly seen on Huang E Star, walked in from outside to block out the black snow. The entire face was hidden under the cloak.

  "What would you like to drink?" asked the kind-hearted waiter at the counter, who didn't recognize Wú Cháng's appearance. In fact, not many people were familiar with Wú Cháng's looks. Although he had shown up in B1314 mine last time, only a group of miners and some individual thugs had seen his face. And today, those people were all underground in the dark, and there wasn't a single person in the entire supply center who recognized Wú Cháng.

  I have to thank Ah Yun for being a little spy, if it wasn't for him scouting ahead, Wu Chang wouldn't have dared to swagger in here.

  "Give me a beer," said Wu Chang casually to the waiter. Before long, half of the beer was gone, and at this time Wu Chang suddenly asked the waiter in a very sly tone.

  "Hey, buddy, are there any girls here?" He said with a knowing glance at him.

  The waiter had been watching him suspiciously for some time and felt relieved when he finished speaking, realizing that this young man was a lecher with a thin skin.

  "Don't worry, how could the delivery center of Blood Rose not have any women? Wait for me to call one over." Before long, the waiter brought over a heavily made-up woman.

  Wu Chang was really speechless, he was disappointed once again by Huang E's woman's level. This pig-headed woman is probably useless except for warding off evil spirits.

  However, Wu Chang only wanted to use this woman as a cover today. When he saw the woman approaching, he immediately put on a sly smile and went up to hug her shoulders, saying:

  "Not bad, it's her. Give me a room in the back, the most comfortable one." A gold coin jumped and flew into the waiter's palm as soon as he finished speaking.
