In this place, how many Beast Gods are lurking, how many bodies are buried beneath these ruins, how many teams are fighting against the Beast Gods, and how many Extraordinary Beings have sacrificed themselves here?
The questioning of General Wei echoed in Jiang Kai's ears, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
By now, the car had already returned to River City.
Once they reached the military district, Wei Ying had Jiang Kai drive and arranged for Jiang Lan's treatment.
"Jiang Kai, are you really in a new profession?" Lu Jun asked while driving, "I'm just curious, after all, it's been years since a new profession emerged in China."
Jiang Kai was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "Yes."
General Wei had already guessed it, so there was no need for Jiang Kai to hide it any longer.
Of course, Wei Ying also candidly told Jiang Kai that his concerns might come true; if follow-up profession materials couldn't be found, the military's support would have a time limit.
This also meant that Wei Ying tacitly accepted Jiang Kai's decision not to join the military.
With a sigh, Jiang Kai added, "It's a non-combat profession."
"Non-combat profession..." Lu Jun repeated thoughtfully, not probing further. After all, Jiang Kai telling him this much already showed a lot of trust.
"To reach your current strength, that's not easy."
Jiang Kai smiled but didn't reply.
"What are your plans for the future?" Lu Jun asked, "You know, the Black Tortoise Guild is very powerful."
Jiang Kai smiled, "In the Calling, I'm not afraid of them. My only worry is the Huang Family's revenge on my family in reality. Once I enter Ghost Star, I can't look after my family."
"If I log into the Calling, Ying has to go to school, take care of my big brother, and Huang Wei is still in the same school with her. I'm a bit worried about that girl."
Lu Jun thought for a moment and said, "You're not part of the military, so your family can't live in the military family area. However, there's a guest accommodation area near our military district where Ying can stay. It would be convenient for your sister to visit the hospital to take care of your brother, and the Huang Family wouldn't dare cause trouble in the military district. You pay the normal rent, and I'll help you find a good house. It won't be expensive."
Jiang Kai's eyes widened, "That would be great."
"As for the school issue, I can help Ying transfer."

Jiang Kai looked at Lu Jun in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm just doing a favor for someone... Oh, it's not General Wei, it's someone else," Lu Jun said.
"Nuannuan?"
Lu Jun glanced at Jiang Kai, smiled, and turned back to driving, "You guessed it so quickly, how boring. She told me not to tell you."
"How is she doing now?"
"She's doing well. Nuannuan and your brother Yuan Zhu were assigned to the same squad. They're currently key training targets for us, but she's not relying on connections; she has outstanding potential herself."
Jiang Kai nodded, knowing Nuannuan's situation well.
She not only has enough potential but also extraordinary determination and courage.
"Oh, and Lanlan, who bet with you, is Su Nuannuan's sister, her real sister, so don't hold a grudge."
"She's Nuannuan's sister?" Jiang Kai said in surprise, "I thought she looked familiar. Now that I think about it, their names are similar, but I didn't know her last name was Su at first. These sisters have completely different personalities."
"Hahaha, who says sisters have to have the same personality?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Jun spoke, "You've killed Huang Da and wiped out the Falcon Squad. Now, the Black Tortoise Guild won't let you go, whether it's because of your personal feud with the Huang Family or for the guild's reputation."
"If I'm not mistaken, they'll intensify their efforts to hunt you down. You need to be extra careful; the Black Tortoise's strength is greater than you imagine!"
Jiang Kai nodded, "I know."
Jiang Kai was self-aware; no matter how strong he was, he couldn't take on an entire guild, especially one of the top guilds in China.
"My suggestion is, either find a backer or don't let them find you!"
"Oh, don't change your watch. Although it's outdated and many functions are obsolete, this is no longer a secret to many people. If the technology is mature enough, outsiders can track your whereabouts on Ghost Star by hacking your watch's parameters."
"Your watch is too old to be tracked."
Jiang Kai was slightly shocked. Watches had such a function? No wonder the military had a lot of information about him during the Beginner's Trial, probably obtained from Nuannuan's watch.
The car was about to reach the shantytown, and since it couldn't go in, it stopped at the street corner. Lu Jun got out and went home with Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai informed his big brother and Ying about the move. Given the current special circumstances, neither had any objections.
The three of them then busied themselves with packing.
Watching Ying reluctant to part with this and wanting to take that, Jiang Kai laughed, "Ying, how long have you been wearing these clothes? They're too small, and you don't need to bring the bedding. I'll buy you new ones when we get there."
Ying glared at Jiang Kai, "Second brother, we haven't even gathered enough money for big brother's treatment. You also need to spend money in the Calling, so why are you wasting money now!"
Jiang Kai was about to say something to Ying when he turned around and saw his big brother carrying the small wooden table they used for meals.
"Brother, let's not take the table."
"Not take it?" Jiang Lan paused, "We should take it. We've eaten on this table for over ten years. It would be a shame to just throw it away."
Jiang Kai felt a pang of emotion. Perhaps he was too hasty; he had forgotten that they had lived in this simple house for over ten years. The tables, chairs, bunk beds, pots, and pans held too many memories.
This was their home in a chaotic world.
After a moment, Jiang Kai smiled gently, "Alright, let's take it. You can bring whatever you want. I'll find a moving company."
...
In the following days, Jiang Kai was busy arranging his big brother's hospitalization and settling Ying in the guest area near the military district.
The educational resources in River City were very tight, and even wealthy people found it hard to transfer schools. Without Lu Jun's help, Jiang Ying wouldn't have been able to transfer.
The transfer process was complicated, but two weeks later, Lu Jun finally completed Jiang Ying's transfer procedures.
Before the transfer, Jiang Kai took Jiang Ying to the commercial district to buy a few new outfits, a new bicycle, school supplies, and several sets of practice test papers. He also furnished Ying's place with a computer and a desk.
"Brother, that's enough. I don't need such good conditions. Look at how much money you've spent!" Ying was getting anxious.
Jiang Kai looked at the expenses. Besides the initial 800,000 for his big brother, including the transfer, rent, furniture, and shopping, he had already spent 240,000.
"It's fine. I can log into the Calling tomorrow, and then I'll earn more money," Jiang Kai smiled. "I've hired an aunt to help take care of big brother in the hospital, but you should also visit when you can. I don't trust anyone else."
"Of course I'll go!" Ying glared at Jiang Kai, "I'm worried too."
Ying was defiant, but thinking about Jiang Kai leaving tomorrow, her eyes reddened, "At least big brother has me with him. Second brother, take care of yourself on Ghost Star. Don't be so headstrong. Sometimes, you just don't know how to endure!"
Jiang Kai looked at Ying warmly and patted her head, "Silly girl, don't put yourself through hardship either."
"Here's 100,000 Alliance Coins, and I've also transferred 200,000 to big brother. Buy whatever you need."
"Brother..."
"No arguments!" Jiang Kai glared at Ying, "I've earned money, and I won't let you live worse than others!"
