Chapter 1023: Battle is over, special training notice

"Don, I tell you, I was really shocked at that time. Barton had already pinned Zoffy down, and the beak that had pierced Taro's body was about to pierce Zoffy's body. The Condor that Nishida and I were driving was not able to properly support Zoffy due to insufficient firepower. At this moment, the consultant picked up the Mars 133 ray gun and killed Barton with one shot."

In the ZAT team's medical center, Minamihara Tadao told Higashi Kotaro about the battle of that day in an exaggerated but vivid manner.

"Yes, yes, it's incredible. Such a big monster was knocked down by the consultant with just one shot. Later we found out that the consultant's shot hit the veins at the roots of the venom sacs on both sides of Patton's mouth, causing the venom in the sacs to flow back into Patton's body, which poisoned Patton to death."

Jiro Nishida nodded in agreement and added his explanation.

“The consultant is really amazing.”

Listening to what Minamihara Tadao and Nishida Jiro said, Higashi Kotaro, whose health was recovering better and better, couldn't help but sigh.

"And Captain Asahina, he was trapped in the bunker and didn't tell us. Luckily the advisor took action in time to eliminate Patton, otherwise the captain would not have been buried because of the bunker collapse."

As they were talking, the topic turned to Asahina Yuutarou.

After the war, the team members saw that their captain was not coming out for a long time, and then they realized that Asahina Yuutarou was trapped in the bunker. In the end, it took a lot of effort to rescue him from the bunker.

But at the same time, the team members all admired their captain's selfless fighting spirit.

The performance of the Earth Defense Force in this combat operation did not disappoint Shi Xinyu. Instead, he praised them highly, which made everyone on the ZAT team feel flattered.

But no matter what, Gu Chen should be credited with the primary credit for eliminating Patton. Even if it was just luck, it was also part of his strength.

Therefore, over the past few days, the Earth Defense Force has been constantly spreading the glorious deeds of Gu Chen in eliminating Patton.

The content was fairly reliable at first, but as it spread from mouth to mouth among defense members, it began to deviate from the truth.

But no matter what, Gu Chen's reputation within the Earth Defense Force has once again risen, and it has even spread to the Earth Defense Forces of other countries.

For a time, Gu Chen was in the limelight. He appeared in the news several times and has received invitations to talk shows ever since.

Fortunately, Gu Chen now has complete independent autonomy in these matters, so he is not entangled by these trivial matters. He has been living a peaceful life, waiting for this craze to pass.

To Gu Chen, this was just a small scene. He had not experienced bigger scenes than this in the past, so he had long reached the state of being unmoved by fame or disgrace. He just sat back and watched the winds rise and the clouds roll and unfold.

As time went by, the news about Gu Chen's miraculous performance of eliminating Patton with one shot gradually faded, and Higashi Kotaro was discharged from the ZAT team's medical center amid the doctors' exclamations of "incredible".

To celebrate this, the ZAT team held a celebration party and had a big feast at the ZAT team's headquarters.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Dong Kotaro and Gu Chen returned home together.

"Yeah, it feels like I haven't been back for a long time."

Although he had only stayed in the hospital for about a week, Higashi Kotaro felt as if he had been away from home for more than a year. He stood at the door with his hands on his hips and sighed.

"Don't sigh, just go inside."

Gu Chen looked at Dong Guangtaro who had a look of emotion on his face, walked past him calmly and said.

"Okay, but Consultant, is there any supper tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Guangtaro immediately followed Gu Chen's footsteps, while at the same time not forgetting to eat the midnight snack made by Gu Chen himself.

"What? Are you not satisfied with the celebration party that Captain Asahina threw for you today?"

Gu Chen glanced at Dong Guangtaro's stomach. He didn't know if this kid was tortured by the bland meals in the hospital. After being discharged from the hospital, he was like a starving ghost. The way he ate at the celebration party stunned the team members.

Even so, Higashi Kotaro seemed to be still not full and was thinking about having a midnight snack.

"Well, I just miss the food you made yourself."

Higashi Kotaro scratched his head a little embarrassedly and explained.

Gu Chen didn't say anything, he just opened the door and walked in, followed by Dong Guangtaro.

"Welcome home."

Just then, a voice came from inside the house, welcoming Gu Chen and Dong Kotaro who were returning from get off work. It was Zuo Fei who was temporarily staying in Gu Chen's house.

"We're back."

Before Tokotaro could respond, Taro's shadow emerged from his body and shouted into the house.

"Kotaro, congratulations on your discharge."

At this time, Zoffy, who was disguised as a human youth, also came to the entrance from the living room. He ignored Taro who had recovered his energy, and greeted Tou Kotaro first.

"Thank you."

Tokotaro grinned.

"Brother Zoffy, what about me? I'm discharged from the hospital too, why don't you congratulate me?"

When Taro, who was standing by, saw that his dear brother Zoffy ignored him, he immediately floated in front of Zoffy, looking pitiful, and acting like a child.

"Tairo, you are so shameless. If you hadn't made a mistake during the battle, how could Kotaro have been hospitalized?"

Although Zoffy was secretly happy to see Taro acting like a spoiled child with him, he still acted like a stern brother.

"Brother Zoffy, I know I was wrong about this."

When Zoffy brought up the old matter again, Taro suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

"It's not enough to just know that you're wrong. Now that you and Kotaro have been discharged from the hospital, be prepared for the counselor and I to give you special training!"

Seeing this, Zoffy then dropped a piece of news that shocked both Taro and Tou Kotaro.

"Eh?!!!"

Suddenly, Taro and Tokotaro exclaimed at the same time.

Gu Chen's special training alone has already made them suffer, and now they have to add Zuo Fei to the mix, this...

At the same time, Taro and Higashi Kotaro turned their heads and looked at Gu Chen.

"Why are you looking at me? Do you have any objection?"

Facing the gazes of the two guys, Gu Chen asked back indifferently.

"No... no problem, but... before the training starts, can I have a midnight snack made by you, the consultant?"

Hearing this, Higashi Kotaro forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

Finally, he silently made a small request.

"Ah..." Gu Chen sighed lightly, then walked towards the kitchen and continued, "I'll go see what other ingredients are left at home."

"Long live!!!"

Upon seeing this, Taro and Tokotaro cheered together.

Afterwards, after having a meal of dry-fried beef noodles cooked by Gu Chen himself, Dong Kotaro and Tairo went back to their room to sleep contentedly.

On the other hand, even Zuo Fei, who had already tasted the meals cooked by Gu Chen himself, couldn't help but once again sigh at how rich the Earth's food culture is.

Although the Kingdom of Light only needs to illuminate the Plasma Spark Tower to maintain everything it needs for life, doing so does indeed result in the loss of many wonderful experiences.
