Chapter 1621 Changes

Chaodi Mine and Underground Secret City

Oh no, it has now been renamed UGM Global Headquarters Base.

After the exploration and development of this underground secret city, the depression and desolation of the Dark Tiga occupation period are no longer there, but instead there are crowds of people coming and going.

This underground city is not particularly big, but it is not small either. It can be considered a small human city.

Now, Gu Chen has temporarily ended his visit and returned here to inspect.

In the past four years, he has been somewhat incompetent as the highest commander of the Earth Defense Force, and has spent very little time at the headquarters base, so that the Earth Defense Force members see Gu Chen on TV much more frequently than they see him at the headquarters base.

Click…click…click…

"Sir!"

"Ah."

"Hello, sir!"

"Ah."

"Sir!!!"

"Um……"

Gu Chen walked in the high-tech corridor of the UGM headquarters. Everyone who saw him was startled at first, then a fanatical look appeared on their face, and then they saluted him in a restrained manner.

Gu Chen has gradually gotten used to this in the past four years.

Ever since he decided to make a difference and traveled around the world with the secret encouragement of the Dragon Country and the Sakura Country, his reputation has been growing day by day, not to mention that he occasionally releases the video footage he had taken in the Land of Light, which has led to more people developing a fanatical admiration for him.

To put it bluntly, Gu Chen now only needs to make a call from a high place. Even if he can't gather a large number of followers, he can still raise a large army in a short period of time, and it is not difficult to even directly establish a new country.

However, Gu Chen did not have such an idea. His current workload had already made him very exhausted. If he were to become a national leader, it would simply be the end of him.

Gu Chen finally returned to his office after receiving countless salutes and greetings from members of the Earth Defense Force along the way.

Just as he sat down, someone knocked on the office door from outside.

"Ugh……"

Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Chen stretched out his fingers and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

Even though he had anticipated this, and his return couldn't be concealed anyway, it wouldn't be so bad that he wouldn't have even had time to rest.

"Enter."

After adjusting his mentality, Gu Chen put away the tired expression on his face and spoke.

Click, the office door was opened from the outside.

Immediately afterwards...

"Advisor, look, this is a new uniform developed specifically for the UGM team by the Yichu team. It's said to use the latest materials, capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 1500 degrees Celsius and as low as -100 degrees Celsius. It also maintains a comfortable body temperature of 22 degrees Celsius."

After getting Gu Chen's permission, Hoshino Yong immediately pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he came in, he held up the UGM uniform in his hand and introduced it to Gu Chen like a treasure.

Hearing the way Hoshino Isamu addressed him and looking at Hoshino Isamu who had matured a little since they last met, Gu Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

He hadn't heard the title of consultant for a long time.

However, Gu Chen's attention was quickly attracted by the UGM uniform held in Hoshino Yong's hand.

Looking at the uniform that was exactly the same as the one in Eddie TV, Gu Chen's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

"Hey... Hoshino, is it too late to change the UGM uniform style now?"

Gu Chen looked at the UGM uniform that highlighted his figure and asked with a headache.

For Gu Chen, the Earth Defense Force uniform that he likes the most is the GUYS team uniform.

However, he was so busy recently that he forgot about this little thing. If Hoshino Isamu hadn't brought the UGM uniform to him, he wouldn't have remembered it.

"Eh? Changing the uniform style? Why? Doesn't this look good?"

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xingye Yong was stunned for a moment, then looked up and down at the UGM uniform in his hand, and then looked at Gu Chen with a very puzzled look.

In Hoshino Yong's opinion, this newly designed UGM uniform is extremely cool, but why does Gu Chen's reaction seem to show that he doesn't like it?

"I think it's a bit too... uh, never mind, let it be."

Gu Chen wanted to explain, but looking at Hoshino Yong's expression, it seemed that people of this era liked this style of uniform very much, so he didn't say anything.

After all, if Gu Chen guessed correctly, this uniform had already gone through the established process. Although it was not impossible to modify it, Gu Chen felt that there was no need to make a fuss over such a trivial matter. Anyway, in Gu Chen's opinion, this uniform was not so ugly that he could not wear it.

"Okay, Counselor, this is a uniform that's been customized to your size. I'll put it here for you."

Seeing this, Hoshino Yong did not ask any further questions. He nodded and put the UGM uniform in his hand on the sofa beside him.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Has anything happened during this time?"

Gu Chen nodded, and then asked about Xingye Yong as usual.

"Nothing, life has been very peaceful these past few years."

Hoshino Yong shook his head and said.

"How's the team members' training? Have they slacked off?"

Gu Chen continued to ask.

"That's not the case. Under Captain Nan's supervision, even though there are no battles, our daily training hasn't stopped. Instead, it's been intensified."

Hoshino Yong said truthfully.

"That's good. If you don't have anything else to do here, I'll go home and rest."

Hearing this, Gu Chen nodded. Everything was on track and he had nothing to worry about.

"Eh? Are you going back so soon? The team members miss you."

Hearing that Gu Chen was going home to rest now, Xingye Yong felt a little surprised.

"What are you talking about? I just flew back from the Western Hemisphere and I still have jet lag! Besides, it's not like they won't see me anymore. After I've rested up, they have to see me even if they don't want to."

Hearing what Xingye Yong said, Gu Chen said a little unhappily.

"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw you. Have a good rest. I'll talk to the team members."

Hoshino Yong scratched his head embarrassedly. Although he was four years older, there was still a little bit of childishness left in him.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. But, Xingye, why do you keep calling me "you" now?"

"Counselor, look at what you're saying. I'm already grown up, not a child anymore. Besides, doesn't this just show my respect for you?"

"Hey, you're such a smooth talker, you're born to do this, unlike me..."

While chatting with Hoshino Yong, Gu Chen left the UGM headquarters and returned home.
