My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 121 - 114: Coercion

Jin Yi led Chen Lusi out of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, preparing to introduce him to his teammates.

It wasn’t until Chen Lusi walked out of the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters that he realized... he wasn’t in Golmud City at all.

Initially, he thought that after passing through the Bronze Gate for the second time, he might have been transferred to the city center of Golmud City.

After all, Kunlun and the Celestial Strategy Mansion are said to be brother departments, so being close by is understandable.

But upon walking out, he realized.

This isn’t Golmud.

... This is the Imperial Capital.

"..."

Chen Lusi looked around at the scene, finally understanding what Jin Yi meant by a sensitive location.

After all, thinking about it, it’s quite normal.

According to the information he gathered, the Celestial Strategy Mansion was the one always taking on the primary combat missions.

Kunlun could hide in seclusion, retreat into the mountains.

Celestial Strategy Mansion wasn’t really suited for that.

If they really moved into the mountains, personnel transfer would be an issue.

"What’s wrong?"

Jin Yi noticed Chen Lusi’s expression was a bit off and couldn’t help but ask.

Chen Lusi explained for a moment.

Jin Yi laughed after hearing this, "You guessed it right, originally, the Celestial Strategy Mansion wanted to be pretentious, moving next to Kunlun to hide in the mountains, and at the time many members thought it was quite stylish.

But unfortunately, style can’t be eaten. When there was a need to transfer for missions, it was really too troublesome, so in the end, the headquarters of the Celestial Strategy Mansion moved out, abandoning the flashy style. After all, it’s modern times; who wants to work in the mountains? Kunlun doesn’t even have WIFI over there.

I remember there was a time when many Kunlun members complained about it and even organized group crossings through the Bronze Gate to steal some WIFI."

Chen Lusi: "..."

After a moment of silence.

He asked, "The Bronze Gate can teleport long distances?"

Jin Yi nodded, "Yes, it’s also an ancient object, but Kunlun has always been secretive about its origin and specific function. We only know that the gate is both the entrance to Kunlun and serves as a bridge connecting Kunlun and the Celestial Strategy Mansion."

Chen Lusi responded that he had learned something new and fell silent.

As they talked.

The two also arrived at a nearby milk tea shop, where they met the teammates Jin Yi mentioned.

Two men and one woman.

One of the men, wearing a khaki plaid shirt in the hot weather, had a round face.

Chen Lusi had seen him before; it was Tian Wencheng, who had appeared with Jin Yi in the underground of the supermarket.

The other man looked young, with nothing particularly notable, just a bit reserved, whispering to Tian Wencheng, seemingly a newcomer.

The last woman gave an immediate impression of being tall.

Very tall.

Lin Ying was already considered a tall woman.

But this person was even taller than Lin Ying; most importantly... her aura had no trace of feminine grace.

Instead, she gave off a strong, robust impression. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

With a neat short haircut, not the shoulder-length, cute type like Xia Panqiu, but rather the cleanest and tidiest short hair.

From afar, her presence was more imposing than many men.

"This is Tian Wencheng, you’ve met him."

Jin Yi walked over to his teammates and began introducing them, "This is Wu Yuting, our team’s main attacker, and this is Cui Xiong, a newcomer who just joined not long ago."

"Chen Lusi."

Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment and introduced himself as well.

Upon hearing his introduction.

Except for Tian Wencheng, who had already seen Chen Lusi and whose face changed when he saw him and Jin Yi walking over, the other two were slightly stunned by Chen Lusi’s introduction, then quickly raised their heads, focusing their gaze on his face.

"Hello."

Being the newcomer, Cui Xiong hesitated for a moment, ultimately not daring to ask anything, and just nodded at Chen Lusi.

"Are you the Chen Lusi who took down Feng Zhen by yourself?"

The only female, Wu Yuting, was less reserved and asked directly.

"..."

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Alone?" Wu Yuting continued to ask.

Chen Lusi shook his head and replied, "Not exactly."

Xia Panqiu and Wu You actually contributed significantly; without their intelligence, he wouldn’t have succeeded so smoothly.

"I knew it."

Wu Yuting sighed in relief upon hearing this, then composed herself and calmly said, "Hello."

"This is my squad. Our action level was just promoted to A-Class in the first half of the year, which is also the most standard team composition at the moment."

Jin Yi was well aware of his teammates’ temperaments and quickly changed the subject, "One main attacker, one supporter, one spiritual authority user, and one free agent.

I’m the spiritual authority user, Tian Wencheng handles support, Wu Yuting is the main attacker... and the recently joined newcomer is the free agent. If our main attacker were present underground in the supermarket that time, it wouldn’t have been so awkward."

"..."

Chen Lusi showed an intrigued expression upon hearing this.

It was the first time he’d heard someone mention the composition of a Celestial Strategy Squad.

After all, Wu You and Xia Panqiu belonged to the odd-job squad... their primary task wasn’t mission-related.

Given such circumstances, they probably didn’t need to consider team composition.

However.

What intrigued him more was the term ’A-Class Action Squad.’

"A-Class? Are action squads graded?"

"Of course. We can’t just send a random squad for second-type encounters, right?"

Jin Yi explained, "A simple classification is still necessary, hence the action squad grading system. Every time we receive an alert from Kunlun, depending on the level of legend activation, past case experience, danger level, and Kunlun’s suggestion, squads of various grades are dispatched to handle the situation.

Most scenarios involve a single squad, but occasionally different squads collaborate, like the underground supermarket event.

After the Legend Activation is resolved, internally, based on the degree to which the Legend Activation is resolved and relevant reports, the corresponding team will get extra weight points. Once a certain score is reached, the team’s level changes.

Besides the first type of contact, the basic process is pretty much like this... By the way, an A-Class squad isn’t the highest, there are S, SS, and SSS above it."

At this point.

Jin Yi seemed unable to hold back, laughed and said: "This scoring system was thought up by Xia Yue Celestial Strategy, it’s really kind of nerdy. It’s not just me who thinks this, many colleagues feel it’s like a card-drawing game."

"..."

Chen Lu Si thought of Xia Yue’s face, remained silent.

Can’t really judge.

So he changed the topic, asking, "Then do you know the rating of Wu You and Xia Panqiu... or more accurately my squad?"

"Uh..."

Jin Yi hesitated, stopped himself from speaking, and after a long time, said, "C... Mainly because the main attacker is a bit weak."

"Got it."

Chen Lu Si wasn’t too surprised, as this matched his perception of the ragtag squad.

But the expressions on Jin Yi and Tian Wencheng’s faces became somewhat strange.

If not mentioned, they wouldn’t know...

Only after it was mentioned did they react.

Not only Chen Lu Si’s Authority Ability, but the evaluation of the action squad he belonged to was also C...

But is this possible?

Having once worked with Chen Lu Si and witnessed him kill a Mirror Ghost like a pig at a primary school’s entrance.

The more they thought about it, the stranger their expressions became.

Until.

Intensive footsteps sounded.

They snapped back to reality.

At the door.

A group of people were marching majestically towards the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

Their expressions were extremely ugly.

Especially the leading man.

His face was so dark it could drip water, and the people following him weren’t much better, swearing under their breath.

Although the voices were very light.

If you listened carefully, they seemed to mention Xia Yue’s name.

Chen Lu Si turned his head.

On the other side.

Jin Yi and others also noticed the large group of people outside.

After they saw the leading man, they froze.

Then.

Jin Yi, Tian Wencheng, including the always silent Wu Yuting and that newcomer, all stood up, bowed their heads slightly towards the leading man.

The leading man seemed to have noticed the bowing Jin Yi and others, paused his steps, and suddenly turned his head.

Chen Lu Si observed the man in a suit acting like a business elite, didn’t notice Jin Yi and others’ actions.

"..."

The man in the suit moved his gaze from Jin Yi, squinted and examined Chen Lu Si for a while, then turned to leave.

Chen Lu Si watched them leave, retracted his gaze, and found the abnormality on Jin Yi and others’ faces, feeling puzzled.

"That is Li Ge Celestial Strategy from the Seventh Squad."

Jin Yi noticed Chen Lu Si, explained, then hesitated: "But not long ago I saw him with Yan Kan and Hu Shengping, the two Celestial Strategies, leading people away, why are they back again? What’s going on?"

"News just came from Kunlun, signs of Legend Activation have occurred."

The usually quiet Wu Yuting suddenly spoke: "Li Ge, Yan Kan, Hu Shengping, the three Celestial Strategies want to go to Kunlun to help."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yi’s eyes widened: "Seriously?"

"Serious."

Wu Yuting replied: "This matter just spread in the chat group, right after Xia Yue Celestial Strategy teleported to the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters... As for why they returned, it’s because Xia Yue Celestial Strategy came back."

But Jin Yi was already too occupied with Wu Yuting’s later words, he directly took out his phone to check the group.

Tian Wencheng was the same.

Kunlun experienced signs of Legend Activation?

That’s not a small matter.

"... This is why we at Celestial Strategy do not like Xia Yue Celestial Strategy."

Wu Yuting didn’t continue to watch her teammates, but looked at Chen Lu Si, speaking softly: "Even though Taishan Celestial Strategy, the nominal overseer of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, agreed, Xia Yue Celestial Strategy can still force Li Ge, Yan Kan, Hu Shengping, the three Celestial Strategies back, using force to make them return begrudgingly."

"Although I know the purposes of Li Ge, Yan Kan, Hu Shengping, these three Celestial Strategies, are not pure, also, they irresponsibly run to Kunlun to help right as the Monkey Anomaly Realm is about to open."

"But Xia Yue Celestial Strategy shouldn’t use such means... It’s too tyrannical; this isn’t good for internal unity."

"Saying that to me is pointless."

Chen Lu Si shook his head, calmly saying: "I’m just an ordinary member."

Wu Yuting lowered her head again: "I know, I’m just complaining to myself."

"..."

Chen Lu Si looked away, turned his gaze towards the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters nearby.

Xia Panqiu seemed to have said... Jin Yi’s squad’s Celestial Strategy is from the Order Faction, doesn’t get along well with Xia Yue.

The facts prove, she indeed wasn’t lying, this can be seen from Wu Yuting’s attitude.

However.

His current interest is mostly in the matter of Xia Yue compelling the other three Celestial Strategies to come back.

The chain reaction caused by him altering the book in Kunlun... seems to be more serious than imagined.

But the problem is... He himself doesn’t even know what’s happened.

It’s truly a headache.
