In the mansion of the legion commander at the headquarters of the 7th Defense District Legion, the two girls were having a great time directing the service staff in the mansion.

When Shen Zheng arrived at this somewhat unfamiliar new home in Lu Jin's car, he couldn't help but be moved by the scene in front of him - a "Congratulations on Birthday" banner had been hung in front of the courtyard gate, and there were also banners on both sides of the driveway after entering the courtyard. Flowers were placed, creating a warm scene.

"Xiaoying and the others are very attentive." Lu Jin looked out and smiled.

Walking from the driveway to a small square, the square was already filled with flowers. In front of a six-story castle-style building with a classical atmosphere, Shen Ying, Chai Feifei and Fang He, All the service staff in the regiment commander's mansion were already standing at the door. As soon as Shen Zheng got out of the car, they shouted together: "Happy birthday!"

Shen Zheng was really touched. After living for twenty years, this was the first time he had such a grand birthday.[

"Why are you making it so grand?" Shen Zheng walked forward and said to Shen Ying involuntarily.

"It's your twentieth birthday!" Shen Ying shouted, "From now on, you will tell Crosshead your age and you will be a real adult."

"Besides, this isn't very grand," Chai Feifei added.

"It's already very..." Fang He thought with a blush on his face. He couldn't find an adjective for a long time, and finally said: "Simple."

"Yes, it's already very simple." Lu Jin walked out of the car with a smile. The service staff were immediately dumbfounded, and none of them could believe their eyes.

"Hello, deputy commander!" Chai Feifei hurriedly took the lead in shouting, and then all the service staff followed suit and shouted as if they were waking up from a dream.

"There's no need to be so polite." Lu Jin chuckled and entered the building with everyone.

In the restaurant on the first floor, a sumptuous birthday banquet had been prepared. In the center was a large cake with twenty small candles. When everyone came in, a service staff immediately came forward and lit all the candles. Several people gathered around the table. After sitting down, Shen Ying raised his wine glass and smiled at Shen Zheng: "Brother, happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday!" Chai Feifei and Fang He also raised their glasses.

Lu Jin smiled and raised his glass together.

"Thank you!" Shen Zheng nodded solemnly and raised his glass.

"Blow out the candles, blow out the candles!" After everyone drank the wine together, Chai Feifei immediately shouted, "Make a wish, make a wish!"

"Okay." Shen Zheng stood up and blew out all the candles in one breath.

"Okay, a good sign! Your wish will definitely come true!" Fang He clapped his hands and shouted.

In fact, with Shen Zheng's strength, not to mention blowing out twenty candles in one go, he could even blow out a bunch of bonfires.

Everyone laughed together, and Shen Zheng stood up to cut the cake and gave the biggest piece to Lu Jin.

How many years has it been? Since his parents died, Shen Zheng has never had a decent birthday. Every time, Shen Ying would eat a simple meal and say happy birthday to him.

Nowadays, several people gather together, sharing a big cake, tasting fine wine, and are served by service staff. In the past, Shen Zheng thought that this was simply an impossible dream-like life.

Immersed in this warmth, Shen Zheng didn't drink much wine, but he was already drunk.[

The banquet lasted until night. Shen Ying led Chai Feifei to sing and dance, and forced Fang He to show off a few dances. Afterwards, Lu Jin saw that it was getting late, so he left first, and everyone walked together outside the building. Shen Zheng accompanied Lu Jin on foot towards the gate of the Legion Commander's Mansion.

"In another twenty days, there will be another grand gathering." Lu Jin said as he walked.

"Gathering?" Shen Zheng asked, "Which side?"

"Strong people." Lu Jin said. "At the end of every year, the military region organizes a gathering of all pest control personnel within its jurisdiction. Firstly, it is to allow more communication between the various pest controllers, and secondly, it is to allow all pest controllers within the jurisdiction to have a meeting. Pest controllers have a collective consciousness, and thirdly, the purpose is to compare the strength of pest controllers in various countries through communication, so as to determine the military region’s policies for each country."

"Are the commanders of all major armies also participating?" Shen Zheng asked.

"Yes." Lu Jin nodded. "The reason why I mentioned this to you is that I hope you can make preparations as soon as possible. You know, there is a grudge between Tianhe Kingdom and you... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Shen Zheng nodded, "Thank you for the reminder."

"There are only three insect controllers left in Tianhe, but their strength is not average." Lu Jin said, "The third person, Deputy Commander Gao Yong, has an insect power of close to 700; the second person in Tianhe Academy Dean Yu Cangming's insect power may exceed 800. The most important thing is Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yanxin. His insect power has reached 1000 a few years ago. With just a little chance, he can break through and become an insect melter. Already."

"Yes." Shen Zheng nodded slowly. For him, except for Zhou Yanxin, the other two people were not a threat. But Zhou Yanxin alone was enough to threaten him.

"But Zhou Yanxin probably won't take the initiative to ask you for a duel," Lu Jin said, "because he doesn't have a good enough reason. Under such circumstances, it would be very unwise to duel with the commander of the military region. And according to my information, He has been practicing somewhere outside for more than a year, and it is unlikely that he will come back. So I remind you that I am not actually worried about your personal safety, but that you better not let Tianhe get into trouble too much."

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Shen Zheng shook his head.

"I think those two ignorant guys might ask to fight you." Lu Jin said, "And they might play some tricks. But I ask you not to be angry, just teach them a lesson. After all, God Hehe is the most powerful country that we have nurtured for many years, and it is not a good thing for us to let it suddenly decline."

"I will not offend others unless they offend me." Shen Zheng said, "I can only guarantee this."

"That's enough." Lu Jin smiled and patted Shen Zheng on the shoulder. "Also, I noticed that you seem to have read some books on the cultivation of insect melters? I'll give you a suggestion. Just have a preliminary understanding. , don’t go too deep, your current level is not enough.”

"Yeah." Shen Zheng nodded, "By the way, you have to teach me about the preparation of various insect cores when you have time."

"Okay." Lu Jin nodded, "Let's familiarize ourselves with the situation in the defense area for a few days. When nothing happens, you are welcome to come to my deputy commander's residence to see me at any time."

"Definitely." Shen Zheng smiled.

It took about a week for Shen Zheng to fully understand the military situation in the Seventh Defense Zone. He went deep into each formation many times, not only inspecting the training and living conditions of the formation, but also encouraging the morale of the soldiers in the formation. This kind of approach The approach of the grassroots to stay close to the soldiers at the lowest level immediately won him the favor of the majority of soldiers.

He also put forward suggestions for improvement on some old issues, such as the treatment and reward system for soldiers, as well as specific training issues.

Nan Feng is a great person and has a good way of managing the army. With his help, Shen Zheng not only quickly got to know his team, but also established a management mechanism of his own. And he discovered that I can leave everything related to the army to Nan Feng, because this man is simply a handsome man.

It's just that in terms of cultivation, the strength is still far behind.

"Work hard." Shen Zheng once said to him with satisfaction, "If there is a chance in the future, maybe you can also become a pest controller." [

For Nan Feng, if such words came from the mouth of another legion commander, he would only regard them as an encouragement. But if these words came from Shen Zhengzhong, the meaning would be different. He knew that the reason why Lu Jin's younger brother Lu Se It is said that he was promoted to insect controller because he swallowed the insect core concocted by Shen Zheng.

If you can get an insect core prepared by Shen Zheng when your insect power accumulation reaches its peak, then becoming an insect controller is really not a dream.

He was really excited about this.

In addition to the legion system, there is also a government system in the defense zone, which is used to manage the municipal administration of the defense zone. During this week, Shen Zheng spent half of his time on the army and half on this. As a person who came up from the bottom As a civilian general, Shen Zheng cared very much about the sufferings of the people. With the help of Nan Feng, he learned about the government affairs system of the Seventh Defense Zone in detail. He carried out bold reforms to address some shortcomings and dealt with several officials who had complaints from the people. , issued many policies to benefit the people.

As a result, Shen Zheng was quickly recognized by the people of the Seventh Defense Zone and became recognized by the people as an outstanding army commander.

After all this was basically completed, Shen Zheng finally found time to do his own thing.

Arriving at Lu Jin's laboratory, Shen Zheng couldn't wait to start learning the complex insect core modulation techniques. Lu Jin knew it well and couldn't explain it all, but unfortunately after half a month of study and practice, Shen Zheng finally discovered that Lu Jin Jin is right when he says that genius is not an all-rounder.

He can easily concoct high-quality insect cores for increasing power, and he can even concoct the best insect cores for increasing power when he obtains super-powerful protozoa, but he cannot concoct high-quality insect cores for medical treatment or other functions. . He tried for half a month and found that he could only prepare ordinary medical bug cores or other functional bug cores using good quality protocore.

As for the insect cores that Lu Jin and Lu Se had that could transmit information and power, he couldn't even make them.

"Perhaps all your talents have been adjusted by God to improve strength." Lu Jin said without emotion, "This category is the most valuable among insect cores, so you don't have to have any regrets. As for these Little thing...if you need it, I can help you make it."

"I'm quite envious of the insect core you used to communicate with Mr. Luther." Shen Zheng said.

The previous incident with Gu Qinghan made him very worried about the safety of his family. But if he had such a good thing, he could help Shen Ying and the others at any time when something went wrong.

"It's made from the core of a cyber bug." Lu Jin said, "I call it 'cyber eye'."

"Internet bug?" Shen Zheng had never heard of it.

"A very rare special insect." Lu Jin said, "After they reach a certain level of strength and generate insect cores, they can exchange information and even power with each other. They usually live in clusters, and together they are very powerful. I It was also a coincidence that I found a ruined insect nest and found a group of dying network bugs in it. I was lucky enough to get this pair of bug cores. If you want, I will pay more attention to it and find network bugs again. , I will definitely help you get a pair."
