34: Chapter 34: His Career Begins as a Bodyguard?

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned ever so slightly.

Responsible?

His mind was currently filled with nothing but how to enlist in the army as soon as possible.

After becoming a real soldier, he could activate the military rank system and unlock even more awesome technology.

How could he have time to take care of some well-connected person who popped out of nowhere?

Although his expression was subtle, Li Qingxue caught it keenly.

It was an undisguised... look of disdain and reluctance.

Li Qingxue's delicate brows furrowed instantly.

An unprecedented sense of frustration surged through her heart like an electric current.

At Jingdu University, she was the golden girl, the pride of heaven surrounded by everyone's adoration.

She was the top student and campus belle that countless people looked up to; she always received gazes of amazement, admiration, and flattery.

Yet in the eyes of this man named Qin Feng, she seemed to have become a... nuisance?

A burden?

For the first time, she saw pure indifference toward her in the eyes of a male peer.

This feeling made her very unhappy.

An inexplicable desire to win quietly rose within her.

Company Commander Zhou Hailong took in the expressions of both, a fox-like smile curling the corners of his mouth.

He clapped his hands and said to Li Qingxue:

"Comrade Qingxue, why don't you familiarize yourself with the environment in the camp first? I need to have a word with Qin Feng."

After speaking, he hooked his arm around Qin Feng's neck without explanation and dragged him to a quiet corner.

"Kid, not bad."

Company Commander Zhou Hailong smiled like a bad uncle preparing to give candy to a child, patting Qin Feng's shoulder forcefully.

"Getting sent to The Little Black Room and coming out a legend, you're a celebrity now."

Qin Feng remained expressionless: "Company Commander, just say what you need to say."

"Alright, you kid, getting cocky now, are you?"

Company Commander Zhou Hailong lowered his voice; his smile remained, but his eyes became incredibly serious.

"I'm asking you, do you want to... become a real soldier?"

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Here it comes!

The fish has taken the bait!

This was exactly the goal he had been planning for a long time!

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, simply nodded, and said in a steady voice: "I do."

"Very good!"

Company Commander Zhou Hailong's smile became increasingly "kind."

"Now, there is a huge opportunity right in front of you."

He pursed his lips in the direction of Li Qingxue.

"See her? That girl, Li Qingxue. Her background is not simple."

"I am entrusting her to you. During the time she is in the New Recruit Training Camp, you must ensure her absolute safety and meet all her reasonable demands."

Company Commander Zhou Hailong's tone became serious.

"Complete this mission, and I will personally request a commendation for you from my superiors and specially recruit you into the army."

"I will personally deliver your file to the headquarters when the time comes!"

The expression on Qin Feng's face froze instantly.

He felt like he had been set up by an old fox.

After all that, it wasn't because he saw the potential of a hidden dragon in him, but because he wanted him to be a bodyguard and a babysitter?

[Ding! Host's current situation detected, triggering hidden mission chain: Ensure Li Qingxue's safety]

[Mission Description: Host, you have gone to great lengths to finally attract the attention of the military high command. Please accept the Company Commander's mission and ensure Li Qingxue's safety.]

[Mission Reward: Dependent on the completion level of the mission.]

Qin Feng's mouth twitched slightly.

I, the dignified future God of War, the National Soldier King.

The starting point of my career is actually being a bodyguard for a young lady?

This script is wrong!

However, for the sake of the four words "officially enlist," and to completely activate the system and unlock those earth-shattering future technology blueprints.

He would endure it!

Qin Feng took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying, and puffed out his chest at Company Commander Zhou Hailong.

"Guarantee to complete the mission!"

His voice was loud and resonant.

It was just that his internal complaints were already flooding like a waterfall.

Fine, fine, isn't it just babysitting?

Just treat it as getting a head start on raising a daughter.

It's just that this "daughter" seems a bit cold and aloof...

And a bit... thorny.

Just then, Qin Feng turned around and looked at Li Qingxue not far away.

She hadn't gone anywhere, just standing there quietly waiting.

Her posture was as straight as a pine tree, and even the camouflage training uniform couldn't hide her cold and outstanding temperament.

The sunlight spilled onto her fair side profile, as if plating her with a faint halo,

making her look completely out of place among the sweaty, grimacing new recruits around her.

It was as if she wasn't here for military training, but for an inspection.

Seeing this, Qin Feng could only sigh helplessly.

"Good luck, young man!"

Company Commander Zhou Hailong patted Qin Feng's shoulder and walked away with a mischievous smile.

Helpless.

Qin Feng had no choice but to lead Li Qingxue into the New Recruit Training Camp.

Just at this moment.

Three figures rushed over like a gust of wind.

"Ahem! Beauty! No, that's not right, it's classmate Qingxue!"

Li Lang took the lead, running to Li Qingxue and coming to a sudden halt, his face full of fawning smiles.

"Hello, hello! My name is Li Lang, Brother Feng's chief spokesperson and logistics minister!"

"If you need anything in the future, just give the order!"

Zhao Hu followed closely behind, puffing out his sturdy chest, trying hard to look reliable and valiant.

"My name is Zhao Hu!"

"Classmate Qingxue, I have the best physical fitness in the whole camp. If anyone dares to give you trouble in the future, I'll beat them up for you!"

"I... I am Liu Wei."

Fatty Liu Wei followed at the back, panting, still holding half a bag of potato chips he hadn't managed to hide in time.

"Hello classmate Qingxue, I... I have lots of snacks. If you're hungry, I'll share some with you."

The three scrambled to get ahead, their lecherous looks—as if they had never seen a beautiful woman before—made Qin Feng unable to bear looking.

Li Qingxue's gaze swept over the three of them; before coming, she had already read through the basic information of Qin Feng's squad.

She nodded slightly, her voice crisp and polite, without any air of aloofness.

"Hello, everyone."

This friendly response already had the three of them so excited they were ready to fly off the ground.

Only Qin Feng stood to the side, looking utterly lifeless, his internal monologue already in full, cynical mode.

Oh heavens, oh earth!

Is my career going to be ended by this group of love-struck teammates before it even begins?

I beg you, stop smiling! You look like three two-hundred-pound landlord's idiot sons!

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of other squads.

On the training ground, the air was thick with jealousy.

"What the f*ck! Why? The campus belle of Jingdu University! Just like that, assigned to Qin Feng?"

"Rigged! This is definitely rigged! Qin Feng, that simp, how does he get all the good stuff!"

"It's over, my youth is over, my goddess has gone with someone else..."

In the crowd, Wei Kai and Shi Lei's faces were the ugliest.

Their eyes were like poisoned nails, pinning themselves firmly onto Qin Feng.

Wei Kai's fists were clenched at his sides, cracking, with the flames of jealousy almost erupting from his eye sockets.

He prided himself on his superior family background, good looks, and being a popular figure at school.

But here, all the limelight had been stolen by this useless simp, Qin Feng.

Now, even a golden girl like Li Qingxue had been assigned to Qin Feng's squad.

This was something he could not tolerate.
