Chapter 866: Chapter 855: Instructor
“That’s quite a bold statent.” Hu Long said with a hint of admiration in his eyes. “My in-law talks about you all the ti, saying you’re a rising star of the younger generation. I was skeptical until you ca to the capital. No one else could withstand 300 lashes under Elder Wang; you’re the first I’ve heard of!”
“Hehe, I only got punished because I violated family rules, nothing worth ntioning!” Song Yun laughed.
“Haha, there’s actually sothing I wanted to discuss with you today!” Hu Long said. “I suppose you’ve t Fang Ming already?”
“Yes, I’ve t him!” Song Yun nodded. “I just ca from Fang Ming’s place with Mao Shan.”
“Actually, Fang Ming’s Blue Demon Special Team isn’t under my command; it’s managed by another old man.” Hu Long said. “You might have heard, there are two old n and
running things in this military district.”
“Yeah, I’ve heard, but I’m not very clear on it!” Song Yun replied.
“Well, those other two old n and I used to compete a lot when we were young. When we grew older, the higher-ups couldn’t tolerate it anymore, so they sent the three of us here. As we continued working, we divided this place into three sections.” Hu Long explained.
“I’m now the nominal General, responsible for daily affairs. The other two are the Chief of Staff and the Head of Logistics. We can’t do without each other, but none of us is willing to submit to the others. Originally, Blue Demon was under the Chief of Staff’s command, and I didn’t have to deal with it. But this ti, the World Military Competition is being held in our Capital Military District, and a large group of Blue Demon mbers just retired, so the Chief of Staff was anxious and shalessly pleaded with . Initially, I didn’t want to interfere, as although the honor belongs to our Capital Military District, he would be the biggest beneficiary, and it wouldn’t benefit
at all. But a while ago, the higher-ups gave orders to assist him, making it an honor that belongs to the entire military district. So, to prevent our soldiers from being underestimated, I agreed to help. I assu Fang Ming approached you and Mao Shan about this, correct?”
“Yes!” Song Yun said. “He hopes Mao Shan and I can help him.”
“I also hope you can help him!” Hu Long said. “After all, we’re from the sa military district. If they lose face, I can’t show mine either. ‘One’s glory is everyone’s glory, one’s loss is everyone’s loss.’ If you and Mao Shan have the ti, go assist them. The competition is only on the third day. If we actually secure that military exemption, it would be a great gain for our country, and the nation will reward you appropriately. Of course, I understand those rewards might an little to you, but gaining favor with higher-ups would still be extrely important, right?”
“Oh?” Song Yun curiously glanced at Hu Long and asked, “Mr. Hu, which high-ranking official values this matter so highly?”
“Who else could it be?” Hu Long smiled mysteriously and said, “Do you know who the commander of this military district is?”
“Could it be…” A shocked expression appeared on Song Yun’s face.
“Yes, you know, you know!” Hu Long said. “If you can earn his favor, the benefits for you would be enormous, even limitless!”
“I understand!” Song Yun chuckled. “I agree!”
“And you, Mao Shan?” Hu Long looked at Mao Shan, his expression much more casual. “If you don’t participate, stop saying you have Hu family blood.”
“Well, Grandpa, you put it that way, how could I not participate?” Mao Shan said with an awkward smile.
“Haha, in-law, considering Song Yun’s connection is with , don’t you think you should treat
better?” Xu Hongxing laughed.
“We’re so close, there’s no need for formalities!” Hu Long smiled mischievously, like an old rascal. “If you were in trouble, have I ever hesitated to help?”
“Haha, that’s true. But we should first transfer Song Yun’s connections to you before it becos an issue of face,” Xu Hongxing agreed.
“Hmm, that is necessary, but let the subordinates handle it,” Hu Long said, turning to Song Yun, “by the way, Song Yun, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask of you.”
“Oh? What’s that?” Song Yun asked.
“I heard you graduated from Hunter School, correct?” Hu Long inquired.
“Yes, I graduated excellently from the 245th session of Hunter School,” Song Yun replied.
“That’s good. What I’m about to ask is simple for you. I hope you can use what you learned at Hunter School to train the new Blue Demon mbers,” Hu Long said. “Though many are elite special forces mbers, they aren’t the very top. I hope they can beco the best. Rember, the strength of a team isn’t about a few outstanding individuals, but about how everyone performs together. Even if you, Mao Shan, and Fang Ming are excellent, in large-scale simulated confrontations, you alone can’t change the tide. If you can impart what you learned from Hunter School to these people, you’ll undoubtedly enhance their overall combat capability, giving us a better shot at winning!”
“Well… my schedule is tight!” Song Yun said. “I can only spare a bit of ti each day to train them.”
“That’s enough. Hunter School is world-class, and everyone who graduates is a master. The graduation rate is very low; since you graduated excellently, you must be highly competent in all aspects. I’ll be looking forward to your performance, and I will reciprocate what you do!” Hu Long said.
“Hehe, for the sake of the country!” Song Yun naturally knew what to say at this ti.
Hu Long nodded with satisfaction and said, “It’s great when young people have high awareness!”
Mao Shan glanced at Song Yun with a peculiar expression, thinking there was really no pressure to tell a bold-faced lie!
“It’s still early; stay for lunch? Then you and Mao Shan can go et the Blue Demon team.” Hu Long suggested.
Since General Hu extended the invitation, Song Yun naturally complied. After all, the invitation from the Four Young Masters was set for the evening, leaving him with little else to do during the day. Yet, every ti he thought of Li Ling’er, he felt uneasy.
During lunch at Hu Long’s, Song Yun didn’t see Lei Chenyu, which was a bit disappointing, nor did he see Xu Ying, who was said to be out and wouldn’t return for lunch. Of course, Xu Ying ca back to the military district after lunch, and upon learning Song Yun had eaten there, she was upset, lanting that Song Yun hadn’t told her. Otherwise, she would’ve surely co back for lunch.
Song Yun glanced at Qingluan and gave a helpless smile.
Around two o’clock, Song Yun had to reluctantly part from Xu Ying, as Blue Demon’s assembly ti was at two. As Hu Long’s appointed “instructor,” Song Yun naturally had to arrive early to et everyone. He looked forward to eting these rookies, since deep down, everyone enjoys the prospect of training the less experienced.
