I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield - Chapter 440 - 373: Networking Expansion, War’s End (Part 2)

Chapter 440: Chapter 373: Networking Expansion, War’s End (Part 2)

“Qin Tian, I usually don’t like to speak empty words.” Lan Qiancheng suddenly took a step forward, directly extending his hand towards Qin Tian, “You saved my life and the lives of my brothers. From now on, you’re my friend, Lan Qiancheng’s friend. I just wonder if you’re willing to accept me as a friend?”​

“Of course.” Qin Tian clasped his hand, feeling the surging qi and blood in the other’s palm, “Brother Lan, please guide me in the future.”​

“Haha, I like straightforward people!” Lan Qiancheng laughed heartily, “Once we’re out of the Demon Suppression Abyss, we must find a place to drink to our hearts’ content!”​

The surrounding people were amused by his straightforwardness, and the previously somewhat reserved atmosphere instantly became lively.

Golden level geniuses and battlegroup leaders stepped forward to introduce themselves. ​

“Brother Qin, I’m He Xiang of the Huanglong Battlegroup,” a robust man dressed in scale armor clasped his fists in greeting. ​

“Karlos of the Black Water Battlegroup.” A man with a Western face smiled and said,

“I am…”​

Qin Tian greeted everyone in turn, memorizing each person’s name and face in his heart.

He had long been familiar with the genealogy of the golden and Silver Clans of the Azure Wood Star Realm, often able to roughly guess the force behind a person’s name when they introduced themselves.

Unlike the still-growing juniors in the Qingmu Genius Battle, these battlegroup leaders before him were the backbone of each family and force, already entrusted with important responsibilities.

Not only were they top-tier Tier Six experts, but they could also lead troops into battle and take charge on their own. Having undergone the tempering of this bloody battle, their future achievements would surely be immeasurable. ​

Unknowingly, Qin Tian’s network quietly expanded further, but this was not the result of deliberate cultivation, rather a natural attraction brought about by his strength.

This is true of networking in any field. Often, what you need to do is not attend various gatherings, exhausting your mind to expand your network, but enhance yourself as much as possible, showcasing your abilities and value.

When your own brilliance is bright enough, a gentle breeze will naturally come.

Dongfang Yu stepped back a few steps with a smile, silently making room for Qin Tian.

He looked at Qin Tian surrounded by people, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. Although he had long since been tempted to recruit him, he knew that for a hero like Qin Tian, ordinary temptations of riches and rank would not work. ​

He had to proceed slowly, starting with forming a friendship, demonstrating his strength and sincerity in their interactions, and then finding a point of mutual interest, so he could truly bring this sharp blade into his own faction. ​

Buzz——​

At this moment, the communication stone at Dongfang Yu’s waist suddenly emitted a slight vibration, and a faint azure glow flowed across the surface of the stone.

He raised his hand to hold the communication stone, injecting a trace of Spiritual Energy into it. In the next moment, a steady voice laced with laughter sounded in his palm:

“Xiao Yu, all the space channels of the Demon Suppression Abyss have been completely sealed. You can send the notification down.” ​

“What?!” Dongfang Yu’s body shook violently, his eyes bursting with unbelievable joy. His face, which still carried a composed smile just moments ago, now blushed with excitement. ​

Those nearby, like Lan Qiancheng and others, were so close that they heard the content from the communication stone. They were momentarily stunned, then erupted in deafening cheers: “All the space channels have been sealed? We’ve won!” ​

“We’ve won! We really won!” ​

The news exploded like sparks cast into boiling oil, rapidly igniting throughout the crowd. ​

Dongfang Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and loudly announced, “Everyone, I just received orders from the higher-ups—the space channels of the Demon Suppression Abyss have all been completely sealed!” ​

As soon as the words fell, the entire Infernal Demon Sea seemed to quiet for a moment. ​

The next second, an overwhelming cheer erupted, sweeping over the entire land like a torrent bursting through a dam of magma. ​

“We won! We’ve held!”​

“We achieved victory!”​

The shouts of millions coalesced into a flood, shaking even the air, and it seemed that the distant churning lava was stirred by this wave, forming even higher surges. ​

The warriors shouted in excitement, some tossing their armor into the air, the crisp sound of metal clashing intertwining with the cheering; some pulled their comrades close, embracing in excitement; others looked towards the Dark Demon Realm, offering a standard military salute to the brothers eternally remaining in the dark, tears silently streaming from reddened eyes. ​

Standing in the center of the crowd, Qin Tian felt the surrounding wave of joy surging towards him, his face breaking into a relaxed smile.

The arduous battle that had lasted for months finally ended in victory.

Lan Qiancheng patted his shoulder, laughing and shouting, “Qin Tian, the mission is over. Once we’re out, you can’t escape this victory drink!” ​

“I’ll definitely accompany you,” Qin Tian responded with a smile and nodded.

The red glow of the lava reflected on everyone’s faces, tinting their smiles and tears with a warm golden hue.

Though the high temperatures of the Infernal Demon Sea still scorched, at this moment, everyone’s hearts surged with a warmth hotter than the lava—that was the temperature of victory, the burning joy of being able to protect their homeland. ​

……

The space channels of the Demon Suppression Abyss only open once every decade or so.

This also means that in the interim, most forces can withdraw from the Demon Suppression Abyss, leaving only regular troops stationed at the three layers of the abyss, focusing on destroying gaps of Demonic Qi and Demon Sources.

Qin Tian’s Chijin Battlegroup was also on the list of personnel to withdraw.

“Boss, we can go home now?”

The voice of the Poisonous Widow carried an incredulous cheer, her bewitching peach blossom eyes opening slightly wider, the red blush at the corners of her eyes accentuated with excitement, making her appear even more brightly beautiful.
