Chapter 41 The Loyal Longsword Soldier—Chen Zhong

Of the five blue cards, three are resource cards.

One blue meat card, one blue iron card, and one supply card I'd never seen before.

[One-Star Supply Card (Blue) - Three bolts of cloth: Can be used to make clothes]

One equipment card and one summon card.

[One-Star Equipment Card (Blue) - Ferocious Wolf Longsword: Forged from refined steel, it is hard and sharp, and comes with a berserk effect. During berserk mode, you are temporarily immune to pain and your strength increases by 30%, but you will lose your sanity for one minute. It can be used once a day.]

[One-Star Summoning Card (Blue) - One Longsword Soldier: After use, summons an ordinary soldier skilled in wielding a longsword, 100% loyal]

A purple building card.

[One-Star Building Card (Purple) - Water Reservoir: Select a 2x2 area, place it, and you will get a water reservoir building. The water reservoir can hold 20 cubic meters of water and can always maintain the water quality.]

"Not bad, my luck is pretty good."

Chen Hao's eyes lit up as he looked at the Summoning Card and the Water Pool Card.

"I never expected that a summoning card could actually summon a human!"

Chen Hao was very surprised.

"The water storage card is alright."

After that, the group did not encounter any more large wild animals and successfully reached the river.

Sun Yulin immediately took out the waterwheel card and used it.

A flash of blue light, and a brand new waterwheel appeared.

It looks exactly like the waterwheel that Chen Hao owns. If it weren't for the bear claw marks on Chen Hao's waterwheel and the fact that it had been modified, it would be really hard to tell them apart.

"Let's start filling the containers with water."

Chen Hao gave the order.

Zhao Long, Li Laoshi, and the others quickly took down the wooden buckets hanging on the waterwheel and began filling them with water.

Chen Hao's waterwheel had two rows of nails nailed in, and was covered with wooden buckets.

This is the modified part, which frees up everyone's hands.

Sun Yulin and the others did not bring water buckets, but they had water bucket cards.

There were five in total, and I used them all.

Sun Yulin's men took the five buckets and began to draw water and pour it into the water truck.

Chen Hao and Sun Yulin watched as their team members fetched and filled their containers with water.

"Mr. Sun, where did you see those crocodiles?"

Chen Hao couldn't help but ask.

He looked around but didn't see a single crocodile.

"It's around here. Look, there are still some remnants of crocodile skin."

Sun Yulin led Chen Hao to a riverbank a hundred meters away and pointed to a piece of crocodile skin about the size of a palm on the ground.

Chen Hao looked around without saying anything, his gaze fixed on the river area.

This wasn't the river area Chen Hao was familiar with; it was the route Sun Yulin had pointed out.

Chen Hao wanted to see the crocodile herd.

Perhaps there is a leader-level creature inside.

To Chen Hao's dismay, the crocodile had vanished, and he had no idea where it had gone.

Moreover, there were no carnivorous fish in this river area. When the carcasses of small animals were tied with thin ropes and thrown into the river, no fish took the bait.

Chen Hao was in the Air Force for the first time.

"Maybe the crocodiles ate all the fish, so they moved to another place to look for food."

Chen Hao looked at the wet, young fox's corpse bound with thin thread and couldn't help but shake his head.

He then threw the fox cub's body directly into the river.

He looked at the blank cards again, and unfortunately, there were no blank cards with more than 10 of them, so he couldn't convert them.

Feeling somewhat bored, Chen Hao took out the [Summoning Card].

"I wonder if the summoned soldiers can speak."

"call."

Instantly, the [Summoning Card] in Chen Hao's hand transformed into a ball of blue particles, which condensed into a human shape in mid-air.

A flash of blue light appeared, and a man with an ancient style of dress appeared in front of Chen Hao.

The man was probably in his early twenties, about 1.75 meters tall, wearing somewhat worn-out cloth clothes, and a yellow headscarf covering his long hair.

He smelled strongly of sweat, as if he hadn't showered in a long time.

"Greetings, my lord."

The moment the man saw Chen Hao, he immediately knelt down, clasped his hands in front of him, bowed his head, and spoke in a loud voice.

With a "thud," the bucket fell to the ground.

One of Sun Yulin's men stared in disbelief at the scene.

What did he see? A living person appeared out of thin air.

Sun Yulin had noticed Chen Hao's actions long ago and watched curiously from the side. When he saw a living person appear, he was shocked and opened his mouth wide.

"What... what is this?"

Sun Yulin pointed at the person kneeling in front of Chen Hao and asked, stammering.

"Nonsense, of course it's a person."

Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Get up," he then said to the soldier in front of him.

"Thank you, my lord."

The soldier quickly got up.

"What's your name?"

"The younger one is called Gou Dan (Dog Egg)."

"Dog Egg," Chen Hao asked with a puzzled look, but he soon understood. There was an old saying that a humble name was easier to raise, and that was probably why people were given such names.

"Dog Egg, this name doesn't sound good. I'll change it for you, would you like that?"

"Please bestow a name upon us, my lord."

Upon hearing this, Gou Dan looked delighted.

"Okay, my surname is Chen, you'll take my surname, and your name will be Chen Zhong."

"Thank you, my lord."

Chen Zhongxi couldn't help but exclaim, "I have a name now! That's wonderful!"

"By the way, Chen Zhong, do you remember where you came from?"

Chen Hao asked curiously.

"My lord, I only remember that I came from Dahuai Village, which is my hometown. There is a big locust tree at the entrance of the village."

Chen Zhong replied.

"And what about your parents?"

"I starved to death, and then I was conscripted into the army."

Chen Zhong spoke of these matters with great composure.

"Do you know where you're serving in the army? What's the name of the court?"

"I don't know, I've forgotten."

Chen Zhong shook his head.

Chen Hao asked several questions, but Chen Zhong shook his head each time.

Even Sun Yulin, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, couldn't help but ask a few questions.

He was also very curious about Chen Zhong's background.

Unfortunately, Chen Zhong completely ignored him, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Chen Zhong only answered when Chen Hao prompted him.

Of course, the answer was mostly "I don't know".

It was as if some force had wiped away his memories, leaving only the most profound ones.

"Chen Zhong, you know how to use a knife, right?"

"Yes, my lord, I know the Six Blades of Breaking Army. This is a sword technique that all swordsmen in the army must learn and master."

"You remember that clearly."

"I don't know why either."

Chen Zhong scratched his head.

"Alright, here's the knife. Try practicing that 'Six Blades of Breaking Army' technique."

Chen Hao took out a blue card, which transformed into a long sword—the [Fierce Wolf Longsword] that Chen Hao had just obtained.

Chen Zhong took the [Fierce Wolf Longsword], casually swung it a couple of times, and then touched the blade; a small cut immediately appeared on his fingertip.

"A fine knife."

But Chen Zhong didn't take it to heart; instead, he praised her with delight.

Then, he began to demonstrate the [Six Blades of Breaking Army] sword technique in front of Chen Hao.

The knife skills are simple and unadorned, mostly consisting of three movements: slashing, chopping, and stabbing.

But with his fierce demeanor, Chen Zhong seemed to have become a different person, transforming from an honest and ordinary man into a bloodthirsty beast, baring his claws and fangs at his enemies.

"Clap clap clap," Chen Hao clapped and nodded in approval, saying, "Not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment, my lord."

Chen Zhong smiled innocently, showing no trace of his previous fierce demeanor.

Standing to the side, Sun Yulin watched Chen Hao take in such a person and couldn't be more envious.

"When did I get to drop a summoning card like this?"

He sighed inwardly.
