Chapter 60 Arrival at Base City

Two or three weeks passed quickly.

During this period, Chen Pingping showed off his presence in the martial arts circle in Jiangnan Base City, often taking Zhao Liu and Li Qianqian to and from the martial arts association building.

And almost every time they went there, Captain Xia of the Guard, who was known for his iron face, would show a warm smile and take them to the trading center, to the leisure area to drink tea and chat, or to the fighting area to feed them. , looking like a close friend.

According to rumors, even Chairman Zhou, who is about to take office as the Commander-in-Chief of the Shenwu Army, often invites them to lunch or dinner!
This really makes all the warriors in Jiangnan Base City not know what to say...

Fortunately for Zhao Liu, after all, he had been in this circle before and everyone basically knew everything about them, but the backgrounds of Chen Pingping and Li Qianqian had been spread to a miraculous level.

Even the news that Chen Pingping is the illegitimate son of Chairman Zhou who lives abroad spread out and caused a stir!

In fact, everyone didn't know that compared to the crowd, Zhao Liu and Li Qianqian, the two parties involved, were the most surprised.

Chen Pingping's casualness and ease in front of Chairman Zhou simply reached a level that made them completely unbelievable!

Even when Chen Pingping occasionally made some offensive remarks that were frightening to their ears, President Zhou just laughed and scolded them casually, but he didn't seem annoyed at all!
To be honest, not to mention outsiders, even the two of them began to doubt whether Chen Pingping was really President Zhou's illegitimate son!
Obviously, Chen Pingping's goal was achieved. Combined with the last leg-breaking incident in public, he believed that anyone with any sense would not dare to cause trouble for those around him.

Then, it's almost time to leave.

He and Li Qianqian have both received the invitation letter from Shuguang Battle Academy.

All freshmen will report to the Shuguang War Academy at 45 a.m. three days later to participate in the [-]-day closed freshman preparation camp!

Jiangnan Base City is not far from the Demon City Base City, and it takes about half a day's drive. Therefore, after Chen Pingping and Li Qianqian discussed it, they decided to take a day to rest and tidy up, and set off the next day to arrive in Demon City. After settling in the base city for one night, we reported on time on the third morning.

Early the next morning, after declining the farewell invitations from Lao Zhou, Lao Xia, Zhao Liu and others, Chen Pingping and the others boarded the train to Nandu Base City together.

Yes, it is Nandu Base City.

Due to the shortage of materials in this era, intercity lines are expensive to build, and only two adjacent base cities will be connected by intercity lines.

In other words, if you want to go to the base city of Modu, you need to go from the base city of Jiangnan to the base city of Nandu, and then from the base city of Nandu to the base city of Sucang... In this way, it takes a total of four base cities to finally reach the destination.

This is because the Demon City Base City is one of the top ten base cities in the Federation and has as many as sixteen intercity lines. This saves some time, otherwise you would have to travel to three more base cities...

It can be said that compared to the peaceful times, many aspects have indeed regressed now. If it wants to restore its previous prosperity, the Federation still needs to regain more lost land from the claws of monsters.

"This is the base city of Magic City. It's so big and there are so many people!" After getting out of the car, Li Qianqian stretched a lot and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, causing people nearby to look at him frequently.

Well, compared to the people around him, Li Qianqian, who is not wearing combat uniform, does look like a little girl from the countryside. The clothes of the residents of the Magic City Base City are indeed much more fashionable than those of the Jiangnan Base City.

"That's almost enough. Don't act like you've never seen the world. It's not like there's no internet at home. What does the base city of Magic City look like? Haven't you been traveling online several times these days..." Chen Pingping looked narrow-minded. road.

He was familiar with this place, and it had not changed much from its general outline 30 years later.Again, unlike the past peacetimes when infrastructure construction was everywhere, in the next 30 years, the Federation has been in a state of expanding outwards and regaining territory. Most of its resources have been spent on establishing new bases and cities one after another. The base city naturally does not have many additional resources to invest.

Even if the Magic City base city is one of the top ten base cities, there is no special treatment in this regard.

"Can Cloud Travel be the same as actually coming here?" Li Qianqian squinted, not being dampened by Chen Pingping at all. She took her travel bag and ran to a clothing store near the station.

Sure enough, beautiful new clothes are the weakness of all women, whether they are warriors or not...

In this regard, Chen Pingping did not interfere. Instead, he looked through the huge transparent glass of the station at the landmark building not far away, the Oriental Pearl Tower, which had been standing there since the peaceful era.

Having lived and fought in this city for nearly 20 years, he has long regarded this place as his home. On the contrary, even though he has become familiar with the former Jiangnan base city recently, he still does not have much sense of belonging.

……

After Li Qianqian changed herself from head to toe, half an hour had passed.

After returning from the college entrance examination, Chen Pingping took her around a few times outside the East City Gate and hunted some monsters. Compared with ordinary families, she was now considered a wealthy woman, so it was no problem to buy a few new clothes.

Afterwards, Chen Pingping brought her a completely new look, and arrived at a hotel not too far from the Shuguang Battlefield with ease.

Chen Pingping is very clear about the location of the Dawn War Academy, a legendary top martial arts university, even though he has never entered it.

"Why do I think you are so familiar with this magical city?" Li Qianqian asked suspiciously while checking in at the front desk.

"Because I have lived here for nearly 20 years." Chen Pingping said honestly.

"Haha..." Li Qianqian gave a fake smile and didn't bother to talk to him.

If you tell the truth these days, no one will believe you!

Chen Pingping smiled and naturally would not continue to argue. After the check-in formalities were completed, he urged: "Go upstairs and put down your things. I will take you out for a walk and let you see the results of my cloud travel!"

When he first arrived at the station, he remembered that there should still be a lot of authentic delicacies in the base city of Magic City that will gradually disappear in the next 30 years.

I have to say that just thinking about those flavors that have long since disappeared from memory makes Chen Pingping move his index fingers and salivate!
The next entire evening and night, the two of them spent their time shopping and eating.

With the physical fitness of the warriors, five or six hours was enough for them to quickly visit most of the base city of the Demon City.

Chen Pingping also updated his memory by the way, so that if he mentions a certain building or restaurant in the future, it turns out that it has not been built or opened yet, which would be embarrassing...
