Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 539 - 409: The Patrol Guard’s Discovery
Shrek’s identity is a secret to Qu Jianlei and the others, but it is impossible to hide from the mid to high-level patrol guards present.
During the observation period after his redemption, he was in Fengrao City, and the patrol guards had the right to monitor his actions.
From this point of view, Smiling Face previously lied; he knew Shrek’s identity all along.
But that’s not the main point, what is important is... clearly an academic teacher, why is his combat style so eerie?
"Let’s watch it again," someone suggested, "slow it down a bit, it’s very insightful."
Certainly insightful, the patrol guard’s work seems impressive, but they encounter many dangers too.
The public order in Fengrao City is far below that of Green Water City, where there are many opportunities in emerging cities and many daring individuals.
After watching again, finally, someone commented, "This is really... it’s a pity not to copy it!"
The teacher from the Engineering College who came to deliver the video was sitting nearby, he lightly coughed: Please, I’m still here.
Another person spoke, "It’s hard to imagine that a modified warrior can unleash such powerful combat power."
Someone quietly muttered, "Is he really a modified warrior? It’s hard to say."
The academic teacher was upset upon hearing this, "We’ve verified this, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t!"
"Since there is doubt, who can point out what evidence indicates he’s not a modified warrior?"
He opened fire across the board, and as a result, the others fell silent.
Buzibi coughed slightly, "Slow it down again, ready to pause at any time."
The battle time was very brief, slowing it down further made no difference, it ended quickly.
Then Buzibi spoke, "Did any of you notice that, when Shrek faced a pincer attack for a moment, his reaction slowed down?"
Others all said they didn’t notice, the third-in-command decisively decided, "Play frame by frame!"
From Liu Aunt initiating the attack to Qu Jianlei taking action, the interval was less than 0.3 seconds.
But during this process, Shrek’s figure did indeed slightly ease up, though not conspicuously.
However, this easing was so subtle that if it weren’t for the dashcams on two cars, everyone might have thought it was a camera glitch.
In this segment, frame-by-frame playback was repeated several times, and most patrol guards finally spoke, "Indeed, something seems off."
"So, then?" the academic teacher was a bit angry, "I didn’t know he awakened his spiritual attribute!"
"I didn’t say he’s not a modified warrior," Buzibi spoke slowly, "I’m just curious about what’s going on here?"
"Maybe it’s intimidation, killing many would naturally carry a murderous aura," a patrol guard who saw the third-in-command being challenged spoke up to help.
Awakening of the spiritual attribute... what a joke, such a person would either be recruited by the military or absolutely cherished by the government!
Frankly speaking, if Panda awakened the spiritual attribute, he wouldn’t be learning such bizarre close combat techniques at all.
That’s the spiritual attribute, just focus on improving your cultivation level, others will take care of everything else.
Such a person not staying on Star No. 2 and being sent off for alien aid... unless their brain is soaked with water, they wouldn’t dare make such decisions!
"Kill many, huh," Buzibi nodded, he knew the saying; it’s existed for quite some time.
But in his view, the so-called murderous aura, is really nonsense; intimidation comes from the spiritual level.
Killing enough, spirit is surely strong enough, they don’t see people as people, with no expression in their eyes.
Coupled with some blood scent on them, many factors combined create the intimidation effect.
But Buzibi wasn’t forcibly linking it to the spirit, he cared more about, "How could an academic teacher kill so many?"
"Whether he killed or didn’t kill, does it have anything to do with this matter now?" the academic teacher angrily retorted the A-level big shot.
He’s only B-level, but he knows he has no choice, so he raised his voice to speak.
"The process is already clear, now moving to the next step, does anyone think the video has been edited?"
"Nobody would think so," another A-level big shot spoke, it was the second-in-command, the Cripple.
The Cripple was tall and handsome, almost reached the national heartthrob level, yet had a touching nickname.
He just showed up today, Buzibi wanted to hand over the matter, but was refused.
Patrol guard has a system of dedicated personnel responsible for each matter, whoever took the case has to be responsible to the end, regardless of authority.
This is to prevent certain problems, justifiable for the second-in-command to shirk responsibility.
He didn’t handle the matter now, so saying a few irrelevant things is really no issue.
However, Buzibi saw him, his face turned dark again, dodging things swiftly, but speaking nonsense he promptly surfaces?
"Everyone, clap, welcome Shangguan to give guidance."
These words were quite sarcastic, in fact, he didn’t have much grudge with the Cripple, but yesterday’s shirk really harmed him!
The Cripple didn’t mind him, and then he looked at the numerous patrol guards to speak, "Stop dawdling, it’s a great teaching material."
"While the video is still here, watch it as many times as you can, but I suggest you not secretly record."
He raised a finger pointing at Qu Jianlei on the screen, and then spoke solemnly.
"Trust my judgment, whoever dares to make a video recording, the force that trains this young man... won’t let them off!"
The patrol guards heard this and were in an uproar, "This isn’t a talent but something that can be trained?"
To be honest, all the Patrol Guards present were of middle to upper management, and their views were basically fixed.
After watching the video, they could confirm it wasn’t synthesized, and the opponent’s demonstrated strength was mostly within the range of a Modified Warrior.
However, this fighting style is not something an average person could learn, no matter how much they train!
The Patrol Guards looking for faults focused on Shrek’s momentary relaxation.
But those who wanted to learn, their eyes were filled with admiration for that stunning Blade turn!
The Blade’s turn was so fast that neither of the two dashcams could capture it.
Yet the old Patrol Guards present, who could solve headless cases, had no problem imagining such a small matter.
In their hearts, they admired this Panda, but at the same time believed that such almost limit handling was beyond most people.
No matter how hard ordinary Modified Warriors train, at best they could achieve Shrek’s level of close combat strength.
To reach the strength of the Panda, it really isn’t achievable just by hard work; it requires exceptional talent!
That’s right, it’s not just talent, but a sufficiently high level of talent, a little short just won’t do.
Now hearing that such combat power could be achieved through training, no wonder they were so surprised.
The Cripple glanced at them, spoke in surprise, "Everyone’s here... Did I say it could be trained? You heard wrong!"
Indeed, they hadn’t misheard! The Patrol Guards understood: it really could be trained!
The second-in-command didn’t admit to it because... everyone was present!
Good fortune can’t be shared equally, scarce resources will always be scarce, so no one said anything more.
Buzibi saw the silence and felt a bit discontent: Why does everyone stay silent just because you say a few words?
So he coughed lightly, "Well then... should the other Patrol Guards observe and learn too?"
He estimated the Cripple wouldn’t agree because the academy teachers were present, demanding confidentiality.
However, the Cripple gave him a glance, casually tossed back, "You’re in charge of this, why ask me?"
Heck... Buzibi was dumbfounded, can it be handled like this?
At this moment, he deeply felt the gap between himself and the other, the difference between the third hand and the second hand was truly vast!
The other effortlessly took the initiative in a case he was responsible for by saying just two sentences. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
And when he questioned slightly, he found himself hit with a huge figurative blame!
Strictly speaking, the video sent by the academy only proved that the teacher was forced to defend, nothing else.
And they clearly required control over its spread.
The academy’s goal had actually been achieved, the Patrol Guards all recognized it, and the matter should have ended there.
But the Patrol Guards suddenly felt they could still learn something, and the Cripple indicated there were indeed tricks.
Then he came out to make his presence known, only to find himself unexpectedly caught.
Now if he spread the video, it would surely offend the Engineering College and Green Water Academy people.
Yet he had already proposed that more people watch it, and everyone present had heard.
The Cripple lightly pushed it back: You figure it out!
If he now showed concern for the academy, how could he carry on within the Patrol Guard system in the future?
But if he tried to please the Patrol Guards, he would offend not only the Engineering and Green Water colleges but many other academies as well.
The most troublesome part was that a certain force behind the Panda might also want him gone.
Thinking it over, he felt this trap was insidiously cunning, and what’s more frustrating, he voluntarily jumped into it!
However, he didn’t lack decisiveness, after hesitating a bit, he immediately gave instructions.
"Notify all C-level and above Patrol Guards, except for necessary duty tasks, to come to the city headquarters for study and observation."
Hearing this, his assistant showed a troubled expression, "But it’s after work hours now."
"Come if they want," Buzibi snorted, chin raised, his expression exceptionally indifferent.
He knew well that Patrol Guards worked tirelessly without regard for time.
If there’s nothing happening, they can slack off during the day, but if something comes up during rest, they have to act immediately.
So getting a notice from a superior after hours is the most annoying for Patrol Guards, it means they’re about to be busy again.
But so what? If you want to rise above others, don’t you have to work doubly hard?
"Tell them it’s okay to miss it, but it’s a rare opportunity... they shouldn’t complain later that I didn’t fight for them."
Perhaps these words worked because more than two hundred C-level and over a dozen B-level Patrol Guards came to watch the video that night.
Is that a lot? Not really, Fengrao is a city with a population of over twenty million.
From the city to the lower levels, there are at least five or six hundred C-level Patrol Guards in Fengrao, less than half showed up.
No one noticed that a C-level Patrol Guard’s face slightly changed after seeing Aunt Liu in the video.
