Chapter 1247 628: Better to Return Home Early
Old Lou might find it hard to imagine that while he enjoys the calm life on the assembly line, someone is carrying the burden for him.
As the best partner, Ji Jue has always given silently, never boasting about his humble contributions.
He simply pulls out a burlap sack and frantically fleeces the sheep.
No fleece, no gain!
One can only say that the ups and downs of fate are hard to predict. He never imagined, even if beaten to death, that after cleaning out the Imperial Garrison Base's warehouse, he could one day turn around and fleece the Federation Military Base...
This time, no need for sneaky infiltration, they can walk in openly.
They even charmingly offered me sugary water!
Though various weapons of mass destruction can't be taken casually, over the years, Ji Jue spared no mercy in collecting the diverse materials accumulated by the Military Base's exhaustive search through Central Earth.
It's the Military Department after all, with hefty resources, hefty resources indeed!
They don't put just any item in the warehouse; those that make it into dedicated storage for careful preservation are rare items you can't find on the market, even with bounties at Desert Market.
Shishi Jade Primogems as big as a head, precious material from the Ruins Series, pocketed to occupy space. Natural Light Binding Crystals as thick as an arm, excellent natural spiritual conductors and carriers, two pieces to taste their flavor. Rebirth Wood Heart big enough to make a coffin for Fan Yun, precious body refining matrix, split a half to burn for firewood.
What, Blood Curse Skull? Such heinous material must be stored and solemnly sealed to prevent harming the world! Huh, Desolate Harm Dust? Haven't seen such change before, take half first, come back for more if useful!
Whether visible or hidden, normal or against-the-rules, whatever material catches the eye—one word: "battle!"
Dare appear before me, it's not just provocation anymore, a heavy punch is necessary!
Like a mouse in a granary, Ji Jue drags his sack, picking and collecting all the way, feeling no heartache.
What money? I never pay when I dine at the Imperial Garrison Base!
Back when the Taiyi Ring was established, Heavenly Furnace Old Deng paid my share!
Once the sack is full, switch for another, load load load load!
Seeing Ji Jue rampage like a mad dog, the overseeing craftsman starts sweating, trailing like ants on a hot pan.
"Brother, stop taking, stop taking…" he earnestly advised, "It's already too much, taking more is hard to explain."
"It's not about wanting to take, mainly that I have to take."
Ji Jue sighed helplessly, "Think about it, taking a bit less is fine, but if this little bit delays the Federation's mission, what happens then? Letting the Association know, and making them think our Federation can't afford it!"
Saying this, he grabbed a Broken Sword from the independent storage and stuffed it in his pocket, gripped tightly, sweating bullets, the manager frantically shaking his head, "This won't do, this absolutely won't do, brother, the Heavenly Artisans in the warehouse are numbered! Even if given to you, you can't take it out!"
"What? Heavenly Artisan? Sorry, didn't notice."
Ji Jue belatedly reacted, slapping his forehead, "Ah, oh... this was just convenient…"
No matter the frustration and lament, his grip on the Broken Sword remained like a clamp, refusing to let go. Only when the managing craftsman used all his might did it finally come off, seeing Ji Jue already rush towards another direction.
Eyes went dark.
Take it, take it, just take it, you living ancestor!
I'll see how you walk out after filling up!
When the alarm triggers, you'll know the fun!
The result was, Ji Jue dragged a cart loaded with bulging sacks, swaggering out of the warehouse as if part of a bustling market.
Even grinning at the surveillance cameras.
"——Great reviews, I'll come again next time!"
He didn't touch a single Heavenly Artisan, not even bothering much with the Blessed Creations stored in the base.
Took only raw materials.
And specifically sought the hard stuff, either rare to death, impossible to buy on the market, or expensive beyond reason, offering no cost-effectiveness.
The gap for Isis' upgrades and maintenance already half-filled here, what about the other half? Isn't the Imperial Garrison Base still there?
This is prudent housekeeping!
Saving where needed, spending where needed.
Under the banner of the Association and Military Department, after hopping left and right over Fan Yun's blood pressure and endurance limit, Ji Jue returned fully loaded, thumping his chest promising, "Just a simple Vanguard Team mission, not really a concern, General. Little Forest Country, easy to handle."
As the saying goes, in times of crisis, entrusted by the Federation, braving fire and water, disregarding oneself.
As for how the crisis arose, where the fire and water came from, don't ask!
Just say thank you.
"Then the Vanguard Team's work, troubling the Taiyi Ring and Mr. Ji."
Fan Yun pinching his nose, enduring the disgust rising in his stomach, forced a harmonious smile, shaking hands to see Ji Jue off.
After returning, washing hands for over half an hour.
What a foul luck!
Back then, how did this thing get let in...
After all, Pasarella's "Old Turtle," its determination and patience truly commendable, even when irritated to the point of wanting to tear this dog apart alive, the surface remained genial, interactions enthusiastic. If Ji Jue's instinct didn't keep telling him Fan Yun's growing annoyance toward him, Ji Jue might even feel this old dog was quite nice.
