Chapter 41 Part 1 Powerful treatment

As soon as Leo spoke, he realized that he got the wrong person. Although this person’s appearance looked the same, his demeanor is quite different. His body shape and hair color are also different. Also, Xiào Mu never cried in front of him.

The tall mecha is particularly conspicuous. Even though there is still some distance away, the bald man can still see Ying at a glance. His expression becomes tense. He dragged Greene behind him, and said in a vicious voice, “You better behave!” Had he not come out to search for this waste, how could he bump into Leo?

Greene staggered back 2 steps, sobbing while staring dazedly at the black panther mecha. He recognized it as Leo’s mecha at a glance, so he felt like he is dreaming right now. Major General Leo is not far away from him.

Leo jumped off the mecha and stared at Greene, “Are you Xiào Mu Greene?”

Greene’s eyes suddenly widened, “You, you know me?”

Hearing that, Leo’s face changed slightly. Instead of answering his words, Leo looked at the bald man and asked, “Who is he?”

The bald man immediately realized that something is wrong, this trash actually knew Leo. His eyes flashed, and he pulled Greene forward, trying to use him as a cover.

Leo kicked off from the ground at the moment he stretched out his hand. Before the bald man could react, Leo has arrived in front of him. Throwing a kick at the man, Leo sneered, “Nathan Space Pirate is famous for holding hostage as cover, huh?”

The bald man fell to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He tried to contact Jonassen with trembling hands, but there was no response to the call. He felt cold in his heart and wanted to run.

At this moment, the captain of Team 3 rushed over with a small group of people. When they saw what happened, they restrained the bald man and brought him to Leo, “Major General.”

Leo frowned, “Why are you here?” He had given his order before this. In order to avoid more people getting affected by the mental inference, all teams should avoid the east.

The captain of Team 3 immediately repeated Wood’s order. Then Leo asked after hearing it, “How is the situation on the starship side?”

“A dozen minutes ago, a large-scale cargo starship appeared at the jump point and clashed with the remaining Team 10.” The captain of Team 3 reported honestly.

Leo’s jaw slightly tightened. He gestured lightly with his chin towards Greene, “Take him back to the starship and leave half of your men here to protect the safety of Team 1 and 2 soldiers. Qian Yao is at the middle of the mountain, get him down.” After the order, Leo jumped into his mecha and hurried back to the starship.

Xiào Mu stood in the command room, keeping an eye on the situation everywhere. The rioting miners had been apprehended by the various teams of the 1st Army. In fact, most people didn’t even know what happened.

“Major General!” Wood exclaimed, and Xiào Mu turned his head to see Leo walking towards him with a pale face. He frowned immediately. Leo’s spiritual power is less than 10%, which is dangerous. Xiào Mu used the ‘Pin Hold’ skill on Leo and the emerald green tea leaf flew to the middle of Leo’s brows. Then the buff icon appears under Leo’s red and blue bars.

Leo paused, he instantly noticed that his spiritual power had changed. He looked at Xiào Mu in surprise, “You gave me a spiritual treatment?” However, he said with a puzzled look afterward, “I didn’t feel your spiritual power.”

Xiào Mu couldn’t explain the system skills, so he thought about it and said, “It’s not a spiritual treatment, but a simple treatment. If I need to give you a spiritual treatment, you must take sleeping pills.” He and Leo have a compatibility rate of 100%. Hence, unless one of them is unconscious, doing the spiritual treatment is comparable to taking ‘spring’ medicine.

Leo felt that his spiritual state is much more comfortable, and was surprised by Xiào Mu’s high treatment methods. He didn’t ask anymore, just shook his head, “That’s fine for now. I still have things to handle, it’s not the time for spiritual treatment.” He paused after speaking, “Team 1 and 2 soldiers are all in a coma, can you go see their situation?”

Xiào Mu nodded. Seeing that the buff under Leo’s red and blue bars disappeared, he added another, “Of course.”

If it weren’t for Leo letting him follow the trip, it would be difficult for him to go to Planet Ba. It would be better if he could do something for the 1st Army. Xiào Mu can just consider the service as a starship ticket to Planet Ba plus the permission to enter the planet.

Leo contacted the teams and made proper arrangements after understanding the various situations. After watching the battle between Team 10 and the cargo starship, Leo lightly sneered and took Xiào Mu out of the command room without any worries. When both men arrived at the door, they happened to run into the captain of Team 3. Xiào Mu looked at the person being supported by the captain in surprise. They really looked alike.

“You…” Greene was stunned. Unlike Xiào Mu, he didn’t know that there is a person who looked similar to him.

“Hello, my name is Xiào Mu. Xiao as the last name and Mu as the given name.” Xiào Mu smiled.

“Are you a relative from my mother’s side?” Greene couldn’t help but wonder.

Xiào Mu waved his hand, “No, I have no relatives.” He is just a character from the game, how can he have any relatives?

Greene nodded slightly but still couldn’t help wondering. After all, they were so alike. He glanced away, only to find that Xiào Mu and Leo are standing closely side by side.

Frowning impatiently, Leo let out Ying and bent down to pick Xiào Mu with him. Greene exclaimed loudly, staring at Leo’s back, with an incredulous expression on his face. Leo carried Xiào Mu directly into the mecha and put Xiào Mu in the co-pilot seat. Then he issued the command, “Go to the east.”

Ying received the order and started to move.

Suddenly rising 3 meters high from the flat ground caused Xiào Mu’s heartbeat to jump rapidly. When he recovered, he is already sitting in the co-pilot seat. Xiào Mu tilted his head and realized Leo is sitting in the driver’s seat while looking at him with his blue eyes, “Don’t be sad. That person just can’t say nice things.”

“Huh?” Xiào Mu felt confused by Leoi’s words but after he thinks about it, he replied in amusement, “Don’t tell me, you thought Greene asking about his relatives brought up my sadness?”

When Leo saw Xiào Mu’s reaction, he immediately knew that Xiào Mu isn’t bothered at all. Feeling a little embarrassed, Leo pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xiào Mu didn’t continue with the question, but got surprised by another thought, “Is this place close to the no-man area of Zone F? Why is Greene here?” Xiào Mu remembered clearly that in the guide abduction case related to Greene, the ship suddenly disappeared in no man’s land. After Leo watched the video, his reaction was quite agitated.

Leo’s expression changed slightly, “There is no Planet Jiu’s jump point near the no man’s land. After returning, I have to ask Greene about the details.”

Xiào Mu didn’t ask again. Although he didn’t know what it meant when the guide disappeared suddenly in the no man’s land, he knew that Leo is very concerned about it, and Greene probably knew the inside story.

Ying’s speed is very fast, and they reached their destination in a short while. Team 3 has carried out the soldiers from Team 1 and 2 who are mostly in a coma. Xiào Mu then got carried by Leo and they jumped down. The momentary weightlessness made Xiào Mu frowned. The sensation like he is jumping off a building. Patting Leo’s arm, Xiào Mu asked Leo to put him down. After he could stand firmly, he looked at Ying helplessly and asked, “Is jumping up and down the only entering and exiting the mecha?”

Reminded of Xiào Mu’s weak body, Leo felt annoyed by himself and asked, “Uncomfortable?”

“It’s not good for the heart,” Xiào Mu answered. After that, he walked to the captain and squatted down. He looked back at Leo and thought for a while, “Can you build a spiritual barrier?”

Xiào Mu maintains the smallest barrier around him at all times, but if he uses spiritual power to check the patient’s condition, unless a large barrier is built, it will definitely cause Leo to react. There are too many sentinels in a coma, so he must use his spiritual power carefully. It takes too much spiritual power for Xiào Mu to build a large barrier but Leo building a barrier has the same effect.

Leo immediately understood what Xiào Mu meant. Now is not a good time to trigger the heat fever. He nodded and immediately established a barrier.

Xiào Mu blinked and he saw the transparent barrier around Leo’s mind; the same as his. After Leo built the barrier, his(L) spiritual power is consumed a lot in an instant. Xiào Mu gave him a Pin Hold buff again, before reaching out his spiritual filaments to check the spiritual state of the team leader.

At first glance, he couldn’t help frowning. The spiritual state is composed of spiritual filaments. And it represents the body’s spiritual power. When one’s spiritual power is sufficient, the filaments will glow faintly. However, at this moment, the filaments of Team 1 captain seemed to be struck by lightning and looked gray in color. Even if he(XM) could not see the remaining spiritual power of the captain, Xiào Mu knew that the situation is very bad. He didn’t hesitate and used the Pin Hold skill on the captain. Watching as the buff counts down and the withered filaments gradually come back to life, Xiào Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

With so many people in need of help, it is impossible to complete spiritual treatment by himself. If Pin Hold can be used, then the matter can be settled easier. After all, Pin Hold does not have CD1 and can be used again and again. What surprised him is after he used the skill, he could see the remaining value of the captain’s red and blue bars. Xiào Mu turned to face the unconscious soldiers and used Pin Hold skill one after another. Each time, he would consume 50 spiritual power, and every 5 times he used it, he would use the skill on himself once to ensure sufficient spiritual power.

Team 3 worked very fast and they managed to carry the remaining unconscious soldiers of Team 1 and 2 to the nearby ground to lie down. Xiào Mu stood on the spot and moved only after a while. The distance to use Pin Hold is 20 meters, and it is an instant skill. Although 200 are a lot of people, he could heal a person in about 5 seconds so his speed is very fast.

15 minutes later, Xiào Mu managed to use Pin Hold on everyone who is in a coma.

“Is the situation tricky?” Leo saw Xiào Mu returning to stare at the captain of Team 1 without speaking. He(L) swept a glance at the soldiers on the ground and pursed his thin lips.

The faces of the Team 3 soldiers looked ugly because many people recognized Xiào Mu’s identity at close range. At first, they are grateful and thought to themselves that their comrades would be fine since they had a god-level guide with them. However, in their eyes, Xiào Mu did nothing but walked back to forth, and standing still from time to time. Because of the major general’s attitude and that they are worried about their comrades, the soldiers have been patiently waiting. But at this moment, someone finally couldn’t help but speak out.

“Major General, he did nothing!”

A sturdy sentinel’s eyes turned red as he looked at Xiào Mu, “I know that you guides are precious and do not like to give spiritual treatment to other people. Say it, what conditions do you have to give them treatment? I’ll agree to everything!”

Xiào Mu is taken aback, “I have already treated them.”

“Liar,” a young sentinel yelled, “You obviously just walked around. Could it be you don’t dare to admit it in front of the major general?”

Leo’s face darkened, and he glared at the young sentinel, “Apologize!”

The young sentinel stiffened his neck and fought back, “Major General, you look down on useless guides the most. This time, you must have been deceived by him. I think he just sounded powerful in the legend and is useless in reality. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do nothing like this and treat us as a fool.”

Leo’s brows twitched. He doesn’t want others to mention his previous attitude2 towards guides and weak people. It really hurts his face3. When this is mentioned in front of Xiào Mu, Leo felt that his life looked gloomy. He is afraid that Xiào Mu would not believe that his(L) feeling for him(XM) is real. Leo glanced at Xiào Mu nervously. Xiào Mu originally thought he confessed because of their match rate. After hearing this, wouldn’t Xiào Mu think he confessed because of his level S guide identity?

To be honest, if someone tells him that he would like Xiào Mu (before his identity was revealed) when he hadn’t met Xiào Mu yet, Leo would definitely ridicule that person severely. But the facts are always unexpected. Even he himself doesn’t know when he started falling for Xiào Mu. The appearance of his blushing face, the appearance of his serious exercise, the appearance of him making biscuits… even the appearance of him lowering his head down makes Leo like it very much.

“Shut up!” Leo scolded, “Apologize to Xiào Mu. If he said that he has given the treatment, then it is done. He would never lie.”

Chapter 41 Part 2 Powerful treatment

In his heart, the young sentinel felt that the well-known Major General Leo is just charmed by the legendary god-level guide, so he is lying with his eyes open. So many people in their Team 3 saw it with their own eyes that Xiào Mu didn’t do anything to help.

“En…what’s the matter?” A confused voice came from below. The captain of Team 1 is a muscular man with cropped hair. He looked confused for a moment before jumping up like ‘a carp out of water’. “Major General, the other party has a weapon that could attack spiritual power!” He saluted Leo with a serious face.

The scene caused the young sentinel to be stunned, and the rest of Team 3 are also stunned. After a while, the soldiers who are lying on the ground woke up one after another, recalling what happened before they fell unconscious. Then they looked around with question marks in their eyes. However, after seeing Leo, they consciously swallowed their question and stood up to wait for his(L) order.

The captain of Team 1 realized that something is wrong, and glanced at the Qian Yao lying on the ground. “Major General, when did I rescue Colonel Qian… and who gave me the treatment?” He remembers that his spiritual state was suddenly attacked so fiercely that he fell into a coma instantly. The force should have caused him to suffer a huge trauma so how did he recover?

Leo stared at the young sentinel. The young sentinel’s face flushed red and he turned to look at Xiào Mu. He was about to speak, but he saw Xiào Mu squatted down to check Qian Yao’s situation.

Xiào Mu frowned and released the Pin Hold skill on Qian Yao. The buff is then displayed under the red and blue bars of Qian Yao and he could see the remaining value of Qian Yao’s physical fitness and spiritual power. Qian Yao is in a bad state, his spiritual power and physical strength are all critical, almost to 0 value. A person’s life is in danger so Xiào Mu can’t care of anything else1. He quickly took out a high-grade boost pill but looked at Qian Yao who was unconscious, he looked a little helpless. Xiào Mu turned to Leo and asked, “Is there any water?”

To reply, Leo looked at the young sentinel again. The young sentinel quickly took out a military kettle from the space storage and handed it to Xiào Mu. Leo glared at him, grabbed the kettle, and squatted down. Putting the kettle by his feet, he pinched Qian Yao’s chin with his left hand, while holding the boost pill in his right hand. Next, Leo stuffed the pill into Qian Yao’s mouth and poured water from the kettle down Qian Yao’s throat.

Xiào Mu’s mouth twitched, isn’t that too rude?!

Waiting for Qian Yao to swallow the medicine, Leo threw the kettle back to the young sentinel, who quickly caught it. Then when he saw Xiào Mu stand up, the young sentinel yelled loudly, “I’m sorry!”

Xiào Mu was taken aback by the yell and don’t know if he should laugh or cry. He couldn’t help but rubbed his ears.

Leo’s face is almost frozen with anger. He pointed at the young sentinel, “An Lu, you rascal. Are you itchy for a beating? Quickly carry Qian Yao on your back and return to the starship.”

An Lu shrank his neck and looked at Xiào Mu, “I’m sorry, please forgive me.” He is surprised by his power and admiringly added, “You really are a god-level guide. I have never seen someone giving treatment to sentinel like how you did.” He couldn’t help raising his voice, “My God, I simply can’t believe it. You have treated 200 unconscious sentinels who suffered from mental confusion in 15 minutes!”

The captain of Team 1 finally got his answer and found out who treated him, so he quickly thanked Xiào Mu.

Xiào Mu smiled and said, “It’s just my thank to your Major General for taking me to Planet Ba, but you are welcome.”

A group of people returned to the starship. The cargo starship had been completely suppressed, and Wood reported the situation.

“The person in charge of the cargo starship is the vice commander of the Nathan space pirate group. He is called Old Second in the group. He transported the last batch of ores and left Planet Jiu. Shortly after that, he was spotted by the Planet Yan’s police so he fled to Planet Jiu to escape.”

Leo sarcastically said, “They can’t contain the space pirates nor catch them. Planet Yan’s police force is really amazing.” In a deep voice, Leo continued, “The Nathan space pirate group made trouble in Planet Jiu so they are now the prisoners of our Planet Yao Empire. Keep them guarded tightly so that Planet Yan doesn’t laugh at us.”

Wood responded with a serious face. His major general just ridiculed other people for making mistakes, so if he made the same mistake immediately after that, his major general might explode on the spot.

It didn’t take long for the remaining survivors of the Planet Jiu garrison to be rescued by the 1st Army. Among them, many soldiers fell in a coma, and the doctors accompanying the starship are instantly busy. Leo arranged follow-up matters in the command room, while Xiào Mu went to help the doctors. His identity is no longer a secret, so his previous behavior of wearing a hat and lowering his head is considered useless. Fortunately, the army soldiers are strictly disciplined. Even if they know his identity, no one will come to him to make a confession or something. It’s just that no matter where Xiào Mu goes, the gaze on him is extremely hot, comparable to modern fanatics fan.

The garrison soldiers were seriously injured, and there are obvious wounds everywhere. Xiào Mu gave each person a Pin Hold buff and found that most of their bar is low, almost at the extreme value. He asked the soldiers to put those soldiers with extremely low physical strength together and fed everyone a mid-grade boost pill. The mid-grade pills are actually prepared for himself, while for high-grade pills, he only had 4. These are extras from when he made boost pills for Leo, in the case for emergency.

After dealing with the patients, Xiào Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Although his spiritual power can always be restored to the max, he will inevitably feel tired from treating so many patients, walking around, and providing help from time to time. Xiào Mu glanced at the system backpack and saw that the boost pills have consumed a lot. About to close the system panel, Xiào Mu thought of something and moved to the skill panel.

At the second skill ‘Pin Lift’ on the upper left, the progress bar is activated and showed the number of currency progress: 525/1000.

Xiào Mu looked at the Pin Lift icon, and saw a line of prompt appeared next to it: [No cooling time, chanting for 1.25 seconds to release. Recover spiritual power 1,500 points once. Spiritual power consumed is 10% of the recovery value.]

Seeing this, Xiào Mu’s eyes lit up. This is a commonly used skill in the game to increase blood/red bar. The chanting time is short, but the recovery value is high. And if combined with the skill ‘Strange Blood’2, it will have the effect of detoxification. However, the skill panel is a little different from the game panel, as there is no column for Strange Blood, and Xiào Mu doesn’t know if there is an additional effect of detoxification available.

What surprised Xiào Mu after that is he remembered ever since he activated the skill Pin Hold, he did not give anyone spiritual treatment. That means in the progress of 525, almost all of the increase came from the skill treatment today. The skill progress requires Xiào Mu to treat patients with mental confusion, which means that spiritual treatment is not mandatory. Xiào Mu can also use the game skills that restore spiritual power to add to the progress. In this case, his skill progress will be much faster.

“You are a god-level guide?”

Xiào Mu turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw Greene standing not far away, looking at him with complicated eyes. Xiào Mu is not sure about that but thinking about Ren’s words, Greene is probably right. So Xiào Mu nodded, “Yes.”

“No wonder,” Greene whispered, eyes turning red3, “I envy you.”

Starting at the face almost the same as him with red eyes, Xiào Mu felt particularly awkward. In fact, apart from their appearance, he and Greene are different in many ways. His figure is slender, but Greene is thinner than him; unhealthy thinness. Their hair color is far different, and Greene is a little shorter than him.

When Leo came out of the command room and passed by the infirmary, he saw Xiào Mu standing by the door, “Are you tired? Go and rest.”

Xiào Mu nodded, “A bit later.”

“Thank you. If there is anything you need help with in the future, feel free to ask me.” Qian Yao stood beside Leo and said. His face is pale, but his expression looked serious.

Seeing that both men are heading out, probably to deal with the follow-up, Xiào Mu doesn’t want to delay their work. He smiled, “Okay.”

Leo saw Xiào Mu looked tired and worried that he is forcing himself, so he offered, “I will send you back to the lounge first.”

“No need,” Xiào Mu waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the lounge, “I can go by myself.” Leo stared at him and Xiào Mu felt helpless. He is heading to the lounge originally so he said goodbye to Greene, and went into the lounge.

Leo waited until Xiào Mu entered the lounge before leaving with Qian Yao.

Greene stood dazedly at the door. Staring at Leo’s back, he couldn’t help wanting to cry. Major General Leo didn’t even give him a look, but they looked so alike4! It’s all because he is too weak. He doesn’t know anything so he is useless. The more Greene thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he squatted in the corner; crying silently.

After washing his hands and face, Xiào Mu laid on the sofa to rest and fell asleep after a while. Later, he is awakened by the itchy feeling on his face. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Leo close at hand. Leo is half-kneeling by the sofa, his blue eyes watching Xiào Mu intently, and his fingers are grazing his face. Xiào Mu’s heart jumped suddenly, and he shrank his head. Rubbing his eyes to hide his uncomfortableness, he asked, “Are we going to leave soon?”

A smile flashed in Leo’s eyes, “Have something to eat first and we will leave in an hour.” He paused, “Why don’t you sleep in the bed?”

Xiào Mu then realized that the room is full of the smell of food. He got up and said, “I’m fine sleeping on the sofa.”

“Next time when you need to rest, sleep on the bed. I don’t need to sleep for short trips.” Leo said.

However, it only takes about an hour to travel from Planet Jiu to Planet Ba, so neither of them uses the bed in the end.

As soon as Xiào Mu stepped off the starship, the heat spread over his body. Planet Ba had a very high temperature that after being exposed to sunlight for a minute, Xiào Mu’s body is swimming in sweat.

Leo asked Wood to take Xiào Mu to the training dorm, while he took the mecha soldiers to the training ground to welcome them for their upcoming half-year torturous training. The training dorm is very similar to the student dormitory. There are 4 buildings, with 10 quadruple rooms on each floor. Then, there is a two-story building in the middle, which is the dormitory of the instructors. Xiào Mu is taken to the middle room on the 1st floor of the instructor’s dormitory building.

Wood: “Please contact me if you have any requests… can I add your contact information?”

Xiào Mu accepted Wood’s friend application in his terminal and thanked him. After looking around the room, Xiào Mu is ready to go out and look for Wuming Extract. Wood insisted on following him. Xiào Mu knew it is Leo’s order and didn’t want to make it hard for Wood. Just that, looking at the umbrella Wood is holding, Xiào Mu felt a little helpless.

Xiào Mu: “We are all men, it’s okay to get a little tan.”

Wood’s face looked serious as he said, “If I don’t hold the umbrella for you, your skin will get sunburned.”

So Xiào Mu could only rely on Wood holding the umbrella for him while he walked around looking for herbs. Planet Ba is worthy of the place where Wuming Extract is produced. He soon found the herb but ended up feeling depressed when he wanted to dig the plant up. This ground is too hard! When he stabbed the shovel on the ground, the soil is not dug up, but his hand got shocked by the vibration5 instead. Xiào Mu suspected that the herbs here are way different from the ones in his world. How can herbs grow on this kind of hard ground? Had it not been for the picture displayed in the system panel to be exactly the same as the one on the ground, Xiào Mu even thought he got the wrong herb. In the end, he stood beside Wood holding an umbrella, while Wood took the medicine spatula to help him dig the herb.

Leo saw this scene when he came to find them and his face turned black in an instant. He must inform Xiào Mu that Wood is already 60 years old!

The author has something to say:
Wood (indifferent face): I haven’t reached 56 years old yet, a’ight?!
