The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 259 - 258 When Did You Change Your Taste?

Chapter 259: Chapter 258 When Did You Change Your Taste?

Feng Lin sent her a message to explain the situation and told her that she could reach out to Xiaodu or the lightbrain if she needed anything.

Xiaodu was the soldier who had talked to her earlier.

Qu Tong simply looked forward to Xu An’s quick return, He Zhou’s finishing of the third shot, and leaving this place as soon as possible.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, Xu An returned, and Qu Tong personally went to greet him.

She really had nothing else to do.

Seeing Zhao Qian panting heavily, Qu Tong handed him a tube of Energy Liquid by the way, since she didn’t drink it anyway.

When would this cycle of grievance end? Considering Si Yuting had given her a ride without holding grudges, she decided not retaliate.

She had heard from Jiang Zhou that although she despised this potion, it was considered a good thing in the eyes of other Legions.

"This is from Marshal Si," Qu Tong explained, and it wasn’t her own potion.

"Thank you, Miss Jun Li."

Zhao Qian had other tasks to handle later and had no time to rest, nor did he hesitate to drink it.

The moment Zhao Qian tasted it, he stopped and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

"When did the First Army Corps’ potions change flavor?"

He glanced at the label on the test tube, and indeed it was from the Cheng Family.

The Energy Liquid from the Cheng Family was an exclusive supply to the First Army Corps, but since the two major Legions were close by and often carried out missions together, Zhao Qian had had the fortune to drink it several times.

Qu Tong turned around with curiosity: "What flavor did it change to?

Zhao Qian finished the Energy Liquid in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "It should be muscat flavor. Although it’s still not great, it’s much better than the previous flavors of bitter melon, cilantro, and avocado."

Qu Tong narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of contemplation flashing in her gaze.

Zhao Qian had arranged the kitchen borrowing for Xu An and then went to report to Feng Lin.

Xu An had already taught his squad how to barbecue, so they didn’t need Qu Tong.

Qu Tong waited outside and sent a message to Wen You: "When did your Legion’s Energy Liquid change flavor?"

Feeling this question was not precise enough, Qu Tong sent another message: "What was the flavor of the Energy Liquid your Legion distributed when I last went to Abel Star?"

After waiting for two minutes with no reply, Wen You might be busy.

The barbecue was ready quickly, and Zhao Qian seemed to arrive just on time, bringing Feng Lin with him.

Seeing Feng Lin again after yesterday’s incident made Qu Tong feel a little awkward.

Fortunately, Feng Lin was a gentleman who knew how to maintain a proper distance and interacted with Qu Tong as a friend, speaking appropriately and not making her feel uncomfortable.

Gradually, she stopped dwelling on the past mishap.

Although Feng Lin was the leader of the Legion, he was quite down-to-earth. Joining Zhao Qian for skewers and chatting, he fit in very well.

Midway through, Feng Lin checked the time, stood up, and prepared to take his leave.

After hesitating, he turned back to Qu Tong and said, "Although I know Miss Jun Li is certainly stronger than me, I am still very much looking forward to a duel with you, just to learn from the experience. Would Miss Jun Li be available?"

Qu Tong really couldn’t afford to give Feng Lin the slip for the third time.

But her spiritual power hadn’t recovered much at that point.

"Not today, how about tomorrow?"

She estimated that her spiritual power should be halfway recovered by the next day, so a spar with Feng Lin shouldn’t be a problem.

The higher the level, the greater the gap in strength, and at SSS-rank, even a small difference in level could lead to overwhelming superiority in spiritual power.

Of course, this does not include the bonuses from Special Abilities.

Feng Lin replied with a bright smile, "Of course."

Feng Lin left, and Zhao Qian stayed to continue enjoying the barbecue.

Zhao Qian had a particular fondness for Exotic Beast Meat, and he ate the most out of everyone there.

Of course, he didn’t eat for free, promising Xu An and the others that they could stay here for a few days, and he would personally guide them.

He even proudly guaranteed, "We also have high-grade virtual pods here, no points needed, use them as you like."

Speaking of points, Zhao Qian opened his light computer and said to everyone after checking, "The Honor Points have been credited, I’ll teach you how to use them."

Xu An and Four-Eyes also opened their light computers to check, and sure enough, there was a new entry for Honor Points beneath their account balances.

Xu An had killed a few high-grade Insect Clan creatures and had over 7,000 points, while Four-Eyes and the others also had points around 3,000.

Zhao Qian briefly explained the points system: low-grade Insect Clan creatures were worth 1 point each, mid-grade for 100 points, high-grade for 1,000 points, and Bug Emperors and Bug Mothers were incredible, with 500,000 points each.

Four-Eyes was excited, "Over 3,000 points can be exchanged for 30,000 Star Coins, this is the first time I’ve earned so much money on my own."

Although an S-rank Star Beast could also sell for several tens of thousands of Star Coins, it was divided among six people, and mostly the team leader did the work, so they didn’t feel right taking too much.

Zhao Qian then strangely looked at the few juniors Xu An had brought along and said in an indescribable tone, "Didn’t your team leader tell you that the Energy Liquid you’ve been drinking costs 50,000 Star Coins a bottle?"

God knows how envious they were; an Energy Liquid costing 50,000 a bottle being consumed by a few people with AB-rank physiques, and each of them having two or three bottles, was simply a waste of heaven’s blessings.

"What? Fifty thousand a bottle!" Four-Eyes was so shocked that he stood up, his hand holding the cup trembling.

With an incredulous expression, he turned to Xu An, "Captain, is what Deputy Captain Zhao said true?"

The other three looked at Xu An with the same gaze, only He Zhou appeared very calm.

Xu An touched his nose and nodded under their intense stares.

"Ahhh!"

Suddenly, howls of anguish rang out one after another, the four of them in utter distress!

Xu An curled the corner of his mouth and, with a hand to his forehead, said, "Calm down, don’t scare Miss Jun Li."

The four managed to contain their unrest, and Four-Eyes said to Xu An:

"Captain, you don’t have to give us Energy Liquid anymore, actually, I could have held on a little longer each time."

The other three nodded in agreement, how could they dare to drink Energy Liquid that cost 50,000 a bottle?

Xu An had no choice but to nod in agreement for now.

Everyone’s attention then turned to Qu Tong, curious about how many points she had.

Having killed so many of the Insect Clan, she certainly couldn’t have too few.

Qu Tong opened her light computer as everyone expected, but was stunned when she saw her account balance.

Nothing!!

Qu Tong logged out and then back in, but it still showed "Honor Points: 0."

Zhao Qian leaned in to look, and Qu Tong set her light computer to public display.

Everyone could see the several zeros in Qu Tong’s account balance and were extremely envious.

But thinking about Miss Jun Li’s SSS-rank prowess and her status as a Pharmacist, they could only swallow their sour feelings, envying her was out of their reach.

"What does this mean?" Qu Tong pointed at the balance after the Honor Points.

There wasn’t even a section for Honor Points before her application, but now that it was there, there were no points.

Zhao Qian guided Qu Tong to check what the issue was and upon checking, it showed that the initial review had not passed yet.

"Could it be that Miss Jun Li killed so many Insect Clan creatures that the review is taking a bit longer?" He Zhou speculated.

Zhao Qian shook his head, "That shouldn’t be the case. The legion leader also kills a lot of the Insect Clan each time but always passes the review quickly. Marshal Si is very diligent and responsible, approvals definitely won’t take more than three days."

"Did Marshal Si handle this one?" Qu Tong turned to Zhao Qian, not even bothering to call him Admiral anymore.
