Chapter 1178: Chapter 2: Classmate Wang Just Wants to Keep a Low Profile
Finding soone with the Advisor talent among a group of Garrison Soldiers isn’t difficult if you know what to look for.
It’s like when you’re chatting in a group, and soone casually drops a political joke, suddenly a group mate leaps out from the depths of the sea like a keyboard warrior, ready to battle you for three hundred rounds.
It’s the sa with Advisors.
So-called talent, essentially ans this person’s mind works overti.
They see a pair of pretty feet and automatically imagine long, beautiful legs, which then leads them to think of sweaty odors and foot baths…
Xia Chengyuan revealing his background wasn’t a brainless move.
There are nurous descendants of the Imperial Clan from the Forr Dynasty, and the surna Xia isn’t uncommon, so people hearing it would have no special reaction.
But so people can’t help but overthink it.
Adding in the sensitive term “Iron Blood Society,” their expressions naturally shift.
In stark contrast to the cheerful, carefree guys in class.
On the surface, Xia Chengyuan remained calm, talking about the various benefits of the Iron Blood Society, like having a big brother to help you review your lessons, play basketball with you, help you seek improvent, or go out for foot baths together…
anwhile, half of his attention was on Wang Yunxiao.
He ca well-prepared.
Students entering the Naval Academy are from among the best and brightest.
Yet among these elites, so extraordinarily talented individuals can’t hide their brilliance.
It’s normal for freshn not to know about such a person, since they’ve either been in grassroots military units or busy studying with little outside information.
But among the senior students, Wang Yunxiao’s identity is no secret at all.
A combat hero, and a special-grade combat hero at that.
Singlehandedly making the British cry, and erasing the Navy’s previous disgrace — an incredibly powerful figure.
If it weren’t for strict military discipline prohibiting idol worship, on his first day at school, senior students would have co to offer him tea and cigarettes.
Unexpectedly, however, Wang Yunxiao didn’t display his personal prowess after enrolling; he acted with such low-key mannerisms that so people wondered if he was just a hyped-up figure.
Xia Chengyuan initially had similar thoughts. After all, seeing is believing, and upon eting, the person didn’t have the legendary seven-foot-tall, seven-foot-waist strong presence; he seed like a gentle and honest guy.
But he quickly realized this thought was utterly wrong.
Because when Secretary Bureau officials ca to scout talent a few days earlier, he saw with his own eyes that the official was in a corner smoking with Wang Yunxiao, and it was the official who offered the cigarette.
What does this indicate?
It suggests he’s not only strong but likely to have the Advisor talent!
As the saying goes, academics can’t have a true leader, but in military strength, there can be no second best.
The Navy is full of hidden talents, with the strong constantly erging. To say he’s formidable earns him respect and acknowledgnt, with people then striving to catch up with him.
But an Advisor is different.
In the Navy, there’s a tradition of treating one’s ship as one’s wife; the happiness and security a battleship provides far exceed any real-life woman.
If you can take a ship out for fun, where isn’t there a wife?
If a battleship is a wife, then an Advisor is undoubtedly the godfather.
An Advisor on board is almost akin to a human damage control inspector, plus half a human radar navigator.
Why only half? Because you also need a Chess Herald to complete the setup.
Compared to Advisors, Chess Heralds are even rarer, a precious resource that can only be found on battleships.
A surface vessel below a battleship, with just one Advisor, can extend its life bar by 150% out of thin air.
Sure, a wife is important, but when on a battlefield, whether you can return alive depends on whether the godfather is willing to save your skin.
Xia Chengyuan’s Iron Blood Society has no connection to the previous abolished Iron Blood Society; accurately, it should be called the “T” Study Society. He’s played a crafty little trick here.
“T” is a tactical term in the Navy’s military manual, referring to seizing the T-position during battle to maximize artillery firepower by aligning broadside cannons towards the enemy fleet.
Xia Chengyuan had already made up his mind to recruit Wang Yunxiao into the T Study Society, and hopefully onto his ship after graduation.
Though he understood that the allocation of top-tier talent trained by the Navy wasn’t up to him.
But knowing is one thing; if he didn’t strive for it, wouldn’t he remove even the slightest chance?
“I’m not an Advisor.”
Even with the enthusiasm boiling in his heart, Wang Yunxiao’s words doused him like cold water.
“I know you aren’t, but you don’t know…”
“I’m not interested either.”
Veins popped up on Xia Chengyuan’s forehead.
“How can you not be interested? Classmate Wang Yunxiao, I know you have every right to be proud and confident, but aren’t you here to improve your educational quality? It’s already the era of technology, where individual valor can’t determine the outco of a war. In the future, when we maneuver against enemies at sea, you might not even see the enemy in the battlefield…”
“I understand what you’re saying, but I’m really not interested, nor do I have the talent for it.”
