Chapter 1049: Qian (1/2)

The entire federation had been enamored with the Star Battle Net Inter-federation Competition lately, and now that the true finals had commenced, the federation was making an active effort to promote the event, essentially transforming it into a grand festival.

The Blood God Legion was no exception to this. Following the first round of elimination matches, two of the spots in the top eight now belonged to the Blood God Legion. Tang Wulin was naturally one of them, and the other one was the Blood God Legion Melee Guard Corps Commander, Qian.

Qian strode slowly into the resting area and arrived at the cafe before ordering a cup of black coffee.

At this time of day, the cafe was already packed to the rafters. The Blood God Legion was supplied with the best of everything, and the coffee here was no exception. He looked around to find that all of the tables were completely filled, with the exception of a single table in the corner, where only one person was sitting.

He was looking out the window with a faint smile on his face, seemingly in deep thought about something.

Even his side profile was very attention-grabbing as his face was very handsome, and his skin was like flawless warm jade.

With Qian's exemplary eyesight, he was naturally able to clearly see every detail about this person. His eyelashes were very long, even longer than most of the women that he'd seen before, and his eyes were very large and bright. The warm smile on his handsome face made him appear very charismatic and energetic.

However, what had truly attracted Qian's attention were the epaulets on his shoulders.

He was a major general? How could there be such a young major general? Was it him?

Qian had already heard of him before, and during recent times, his name was one that had been made known to the entire legion. Over half of the tables around him were filled with female military officials who were at least at the lieutenant colonel rank. As for those below the lieutenant colonel rank, they most likely didn't have the right to sit so close to him.

Qian's eyes narrowed slightly as he strode toward that table.

Ever since he had drunk some coffee here with Long Yuxue, Tang Wulin discovered that he really liked this bitter yet aromatic beverage.

He enjoyed its rich fragrance, and sipping a cup of warm coffee while looking out at the world of snow and ice outside had become an enjoyable activity for him of late.

Wu Zhangkong had cautioned him from very early on that it would not be wise to pile too much pressure on himself, and that it was important to have a cultivate-life balance. He felt like he had maintained this balance quite well during recent times, and he had also been maintaining a positive mental state.

Gu Yuena was his greatest psychological pillar; whenever he was feeling tired, all he had to do was think of her, and all of his exhaustion would instantly be wiped away. In particular, when he was sipping a cup of warm coffee, he felt as if he could recall her image more clearly, and the coffee also gave him a warm feeling inside.

Tang Wulin really enjoyed this feeling, yet as he was enjoying himself, he also discovered that there were more and more people in the cafe. However, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding with one another, and they would always leave the table in the corner right beside the window to him.

”Can I sit here, Superior?” An unfamiliar voice sounded.

Tang Wulin raised his head to discover a tall military official who appeared to be in his thirties standing in front of him. The epaulets on his shoulders indicated that he was a senior colonel. He wasn't particularly handsome, and his eyes were a little long and narrow, but his hard chiseled facial features still stood out quite prominently.

”Of course.” Tang Wulin made an inviting hand gesture.

Qian took a seat and reflexively glanced at Tang Wulin's cup to find that he was also drinking black coffee. It appeared that they shared common tastes when it came to coffee.

Tang Wulin was still looking out the window, and the commotion within the cafe hadn't affected his good mood in the slightest as all of it was naturally filtered out by him.

”Superior.” The voice rang out from across the table again.

Tang Wulin turned to look at Qian. ”Can I help you with something?”

Qian's black coffee arrived, and he held the cup with both hands as he said, ”I'm Number 79; I look forward to facing you in the competition.”

Tang Wulin raised an eyebrow. ”You mean the Star Battle Net Inter-federation Competition?”
