Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 487 - 284: The Youngest General2
On this side, Li Ang was making pleasantries as well.
"I just ca today to accompany my girlfriend to the party, just here for fun, I even tagged along with their invitation," he said.
Li Ang did not conceal his relationship with Sheila, as his purpose for coming was to support her, so naturally, the closer the relationship seed, the better.
Thus, Vasco Borton also stepped forward and greeted Sheila.
"Pleased to et you, Miss Sheila."
Seeing this scene, the mood of Christina, who stood by like a lackey, was sourer than having eaten a ton of lemons.
After all, she didn’t dare to strike up a conversation, let alone expect soone else to greet her.
"Let introduce to everyone, this is my colleague in the army, Major General Li Ang. He just ca of age this year, and it won’t be long before he becos the boss of this old man."
In fact, strictly speaking, Li Ang’s rank was equivalent to that of a Brigadier General, but he wasn’t actually a Brigadier General and didn’t possess such extensive power.
However, the Mutant Warrior project was always classified, and he certainly couldn’t disclose it in public.
Therefore, he said so for two reasons: one for confidentiality and the other to boost Li Ang’s profile.
These words imdiately stirred up a storm in other people’s hearts.
They had seen Brigadier Generals before, but a Brigadier General who had just turned eighteen was beyond their wildest dreams.
Logically, at this age, he should just be a beginner recruit.
But Vasco Borton, being a high-ranking officer himself, naturally wouldn’t joke about such matters, indicating only one possibility: Li Ang was an exceptionally talented individual, hence the probability of his extraordinary promotion.
"Is he the Brigadier General... himself?"
Sheila took a while to finally accept this reality.
She thought Li Ang needed to seek out so connections, but it turned out he himself was the strongest connection.
In such circumstances, Li Ang’s influence was incomparable to those reluctantly pulled in elites; his impact alone could match that of two of his peers.
Even Sheila’s father didn’t know what to say at this mont; it seed every ti he saw this young man, he was greeted with new surprises. How many more identities did he have?
The conversation that followed mostly revolved around Li Ang, a Brigadier General who had just co of age. Anyone not foolish could see his imnse potential.
Vasco Borton’s comnt about Li Ang eventually becoming his boss wasn’t really a joke—it was a very real possibility.
And the two who knew more about this arena started thinking along the lines of the Mutant Warrior, mainly because they couldn’t imagine what Li Ang could have done to beco a general at such an age.
If it had to be said, an X-level Mutant Warrior might really count as one, and even if they lacked great power, no one dared to treat them lightly; no matter how high-ranking or wealthy one was, life is fragile, but this group of Mutant Warriors could exactly take lives at will.
As for the ultimate outco of the evening, there was no suspense at all; Hilbert Sheila, who now had a Brigadier General son-in-law, undoubtedly won the support of all the significant figures present.
His arch-rival was in utter despair, especially since, just before leaving, a prominent figure had specifically reminded him to tighten up his daughter’s discipline and to stop her from speaking out of turn.
This evening’s event not only dashed his chances in this election but even significantly increased the difficulty of his future elections.
...
Until the ride back ho, they still felt as if they were in a dream; Sheila could hardly believe that the problem which had caused her anxiety for months, and that she had been busying herself with, was resolved just by bringing Li Ang to a party; what was this?
Of course, she was also surprised by Li Ang’s promotion.
She didn’t ask how Li Ang had obtained the Major General Rank, as she viewed him as soone capable of creating many miracles.
Li Ang was sowhat embarrassed as he explained that he hadn’t intentionally hidden his identity from her. He had only recently received the rank, which involved many confidential matters that couldn’t be openly discussed.
Hilbert Sheila naturally expressed his support and understanding. Being in politics, he could appreciate the significance of the rank at Li Ang’s age.
He was relieved that he hadn’t initially disrupted their relationship, or he really would have regretted it imnsely.
...
"What? You’re saying your boyfriend is a Major General? The problem we’ve struggled with for months has already been perfectly solved?"
Sheila’s close girlfriends were even more exaggerated in their responses.
"Such good news shouldn’t be enjoyed by you alone, how about adding in? I can cheer you on from the side..."
So even began to act cheeky.
"Right, if all else fails, it’s also good to just listen from outside the door."
.....
In fact, even Li Ang himself felt sowhat sentintal. It was no wonder countless people in the world couldn’t escape the allure of fa and fortune; after all, money and power were truly effective aphrodisiacs for n.
Sheila’s long-troubling problem was resolved, and with a little massage from Li Ang, her whole deanor visibly improved.
Having wrapped up their affairs, the couple prepared to take a trip to the Himalayas.
Li Ang had actually wanted to visit this place before, not for tourism, but to search for a possible [Psychic Crystal].
That night, during the team wipeout [unknown], Li Ang had inquired about the news and learned that there was indeed a high probability of finding a [Psychic Crystal] at the summit of the Himalayas, but the harsh environnt and lack of facilities and manpower had made them put off the plan.
Li Ang planned to take this opportunity to seek another [Psychic Crystal], as having more of them wouldn’t hurt; each crystal could visibly enhance his strength.
Taking a spontaneous trip required not just courage but also financial resources.
This ti, Li Ang truly experienced the lavish style of traveling rich.
They directly spent a big amount of money on a professional team, covering strategies, equipnt, travel thods, and tickets, without needing to worry about anything.
Upon landing at the airport, a convoy of two Rolls-Royces and two Bentleys was there to receive them.
The accommodation was in a top-tier hotel that cost several thousand a night and required a reservation. For transportation, they used luxury cars or helicopters, and for dining, they even had a professional personal chef team at their service.
With all these arrangents, traveling to the Himalayas barely resembled an adventure at all; it was pleasure after pleasure.
"You should be able to get us a professional skiing coach, right?"
"Of course, sir, any service you can think of, we can provide," the travel butler replied respectfully.
However, what he hadn’t expected was that in just half a day, Li Ang, starting as a beginner, had turned into a professional whom you couldn’t distinguish from a top skiing coach in similar attire.
Li Ang rembered that in Ozaki’s Eight Challenges, one of them, [Solidification of Ice], involved speed skiing in the Alps Mountains. Although this wasn’t the Alps, it was no less challenging, and he took the opportunity to try it out.
Another reason he learned skiing was that the supposed location of the [Psychic Crystal] could best be reached by skiing.
The next day, after explaining the situation to Sheila and that he had to go to a potentially dangerous place by himself for a while, he boarded a helicopter and left their resort area.
The power of nature should never be underestimated, so for safety’s sake, Li Ang chose to go alone.
