Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Zhang Xun's eyes were a little moist as he stood at the door. In the mission world, the pressure to survive was immense, otherwise he wouldn't have gone a bit crazy.

"Xun'er, you're back! It's good that you're back! Why did you join the army without saying a word?"

"That brat is back!"

I wiped away my tears as I entered the room and saw that my parents looked noticeably older. They hadn't heard from me in over six months, which had caused them worry.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming back from the army to visit. I'll have to go back in a while."

Zhang's father said angrily, "What kind of soldier are you? You're back after only six months? And you even got a leave? Are you a deserter?!"

"Nonsense! My dad was reported for deserting a long time ago. He did different jobs. This is my girlfriend Natal, whom I met while I was in the army. These two are my friends, Maku and Liu Liang."

Zhang's mother quickly took the things from Marcus and Liu Liang's hands.

"Look, you brought back some things. Come in and eat!"

I ate it on the way back!

The four people entered the house.

"Mom, don't bother. They need to go out and rent a hotel in a bit before they leave."

"What's the rush? Let's talk about it tonight!"

Zhang's mother pulled Natal aside to chat, and Zhang's father also asked what she had been doing lately.

"Can you tell me about this branch of the military? Which company is still recruiting people in their late twenties?"

"The only thing I can tell you is that it is indeed the military, and I still have my officer's ID."

He picked up the officer's ID and looked at it. Department: Air Force Command? Position: Reserve Commander, Rank: Second Lieutenant.

I've never heard of any of these three things.

"You haven't joined some kind of scam group, have you? Look, none of those three matches!"

"You still don't believe me! I didn't have an ID card on me. I used this to take the high-speed train. If it were fake, I wouldn't even be able to leave the station!"

After saying that, he showed Zhang's father the ticket booking information on his phone.

"Your rank isn't that high! What kind of air force commander is a second lieutenant? Are you as high-ranking as your subordinates?"

"If you question me again, I'll take my credentials and call in two soldiers!"

"I won't ask anymore."

After dinner, Zhang Xun asked Liu Liang to take Marcus to rent a room at a hotel. He thought he would share a room with Natal that night, but he ended up sleeping with his father instead.

After breakfast, Liu Liang took Natal out. He drove the two of them to the SKK shopping mall to buy some things.

The imagined face-slapping incident didn't happen, perhaps due to the presence of the two guardian deities behind it, or perhaps it was just a way to inflate the word count.

The three of them bought a lot of things, including some for Liu Liang, who had returned to the car three times.

Why doesn't Natal Cosmetics go directly to the military and import large quantities of their products?

"Those are necessities, but buying them here is about the feeling and the experience!"

Okay, I was careless. Shopping is something that's better for women to do with other women.

"These are for your uncle and aunt! This perfume is for you."

Seeing Natal acting like a little girl, he reluctantly followed her, since Liu Liang would be carrying all the things anyway.

During lunch, I asked Liu Liang out of curiosity.

"All the recruits have gathered in Kyoto. Does the Recruitment Bureau have offices here?"

There is an office located east of Kyoto.

"What's available over there? Is it for trading or something else?"

"There are technology transactions, goods transactions, and personnel recruitment."

"Can recruiters recruit each other?"

"It's not that you can only summon a team within one world; you also have to pay the system a G-level equivalent to your strength."

Natal was looking at herself taking pictures with her phone.

Let's do some shopping this afternoon before going!

Natal finally ended her shopping trip temporarily, and the four of them took a car to the Recruiting Administration Bureau.

Entering a seemingly ordinary building, I stepped into the elevator, swiped my card, and went downstairs.

After a long while, I opened the door and saw a service hall with four service windows and a large electronic screen next to it.

A group of people were drinking, eating cold dishes, and watching a football match in the rest area.

It felt like a street barbecue stall, only the environment was much better. Just then, a gunshot rang out. Zhang Xun hid behind Marcus and peeked out to see a person being held back and shouted at by several people.

"I could throw 11 monkeys up there and they still wouldn't score 7 goals! We lost 7 goals against that bunch of bastards! Let me go out and I'll kill the entire men's football team! The Football Association is full of shit! They're worse than dogs!"

Looking at the chaotic rest area, she turned to Liu Liang.

"What do you do with people who have both ideas and the ability to execute them? Kill them?"

"Using the manager provided by the host civilization, we can send him back to the space to recover, and then he can go to the mission world to vent his frustrations."

"What about the ones who committed the crime?"

"All your recruits have real-time location information in the system, including your subordinates. It's a pity, but they will all be eliminated without sufficient reason."

The person in the rest area was teleported away shortly afterward.

Arriving at the service window.

Do you have any tasks you wish to complete?

"I'd like to look at technology-related deals."

"You can view it on the mobile app that was sent to you. Task delegation, real-time trading, and partner hiring can all be done on the app."

"We handle transactions here where you cannot immediately trade or exchange resources with nations after entering the mission world."

"Thank you!"

He took out the phone that Director Li had given him, found the Recruitment Plaza APP, and saw that there were various options, including three main categories: technology trading, material trading, and mercenaries.

After glancing at the meager offerings in the technology trade section, I casually posted a request to purchase energy traction technology and quantum transmission technology. I also spent 200G in the resource trade section to buy a damaged Zaku II modified model, intending to repair it and keep it as a collectible.

The armored infantry mainly sells various sci-fi tanks, while the mobile infantry mostly sells the chopstick exoskeletons from Call of Duty, with one or two radiation-powered armors.

"Is it because no one has gone to Crysis? The nanotech armor there would be very useful for enhancing my power armor lining."

Liu Liang came over and took a look, saying, "It's not that no one has ever been there, but the conditions for obtaining the nano armor are very demanding, requiring the complete annihilation of all invading alien creatures."

"HEV suit? Someone actually survived being half-dead."

There are many interesting items on the trading platform. However, for Zhang Xun now, most of them can only be considered collectibles, since he has already used up the good stuff, and what's left is not much better.

On a whim, I uploaded 2000 combat robots to the app, each selling for 3G. These things are only useful when there are a lot of them; they're not very effective when there are fewer. The T600 robot hasn't been manufactured yet due to chip compatibility issues, so there's no stock.

Seeing 300 combat robots sold out in an instant, I knew that the warship faction was starting to expand its army.

After looking around and finding nothing of value, I decided to go home and rest. But as soon as I got up, I was stopped by a group of people dressed in matching outfits.

"Hello, we are from a mutual aid society. You look unfamiliar and it seems like this is your first time here. We wonder if you would be interested in joining our mutual aid society."
