31: Eastern Front?

Ye Liuyun only went to bed at around 4 AM after researching the storage ring, and then at 8:30 AM, he was woken up by a call from Secretary Liu.

“My Young Master Ye, please get up quickly. The ceremony starts at nine. You can come back to sleep after it’s over.”

Listening to the anxious voice on the phone, Ye Liuyun crawled out of bed. He had been too engrossed in his research last night.

He had completely forgotten about adopting a foster father today.

After a quick wash, Ye Liuyun, dressed in his battle attire, rushed downstairs and got into the car.

Upon arriving at the villa, it was not as Ye Liuyun had imagined; there weren't many people, just Ning Nanguo himself.

There was a grand armchair and a kneeling cushion.

The ceremony was also extremely simple: just kneeling, kowtowing, and offering tea, and it was over.

It finished in less than three minutes.

Ye Liuyun shot Secretary Liu a resentful look. This guy made it sound like such a grand ceremony... At the dining table.

Ye Liuyun peeled an egg and placed it in Ning Nanguo’s bowl, smiling as he said, “Lao Ning, I need your help with something.”

“I won’t do anything against regulations, and I won’t do anything illegal!”

Listening to Ning Nanguo’s words, Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes, “Do I look like someone without a bottom line?”

“You don’t just look like it; you are. Who was it yesterday who said he wanted to change his surname to mine?”

Immediately, Ye Liuyun gave an awkward smile. Wasn’t it because Old Ning gave him too much, and he felt undeserving?

“Seriously, Lao Ning, can you let me go to the Ferocious Beast Zone?”

As soon as he spoke, Ning Nanguo frowned, put down his chopsticks, and said, “Go to the Ferocious Beast Zone? You want to hunt Vicious Beasts?”

He thought Ye Liuyun wanted him to arrange some benefits or treatment, but he didn't expect it to be this.

“Yes, but don't worry, I’ll stay on the edge and won't go deep.”

“Are you sure? Even the edge of the Ferocious Beast Zone sometimes has Rank 2 or Rank 3 Vicious Beasts.”

“I’m sure. It’s a good opportunity to test my new equipment. I know what I’m doing.”

Ye Liuyun nodded solemnly.

Ning Nanguo stared at Ye Liuyun. After seeing the determination in his eyes, he sighed. This child’s hatred for Vicious Beasts was truly intense. However, this was also human nature, as his family was destroyed by Vicious Beasts.

“How about I give you a suggestion? It’s too dangerous for you to go to the Ferocious Beast Zone like that. Since you want to kill Vicious Beasts,”

“I’ll put you on the Eastern Front to serve as a soldier for a period of time. How about it, consider it a holiday job during your break?” Ning Nanguo said after a moment of thought.

“Serve as a soldier? That’s great!”

Ye Liuyun’s eyes narrowed slightly. How could he not have thought of that?

If that were the case, it would be a win-win situation, both to train himself and to hunt Vicious Beasts.

Seeing his appearance, Ning Nanguo shook his head and warned, “Think it over carefully. Life on the front line is not like it is here. The conditions, while not exactly harsh, aren’t great either.”

“No need to think, I’m going.”

Ye Liuyun said without hesitation.

What was there to consider? If he hadn't failed his physical examination in his previous life, he would have joined the army long ago. To have such an opportunity in this world was a dream come true.

After carefully observing Ye Liuyun, Ning Nanguo confirmed that this guy genuinely wanted to go. He picked up his phone and made a call, hanging up after about three minutes.

“This afternoon, I’ll have Secretary Liu send someone to take you there. Let’s be clear, once the arrow is shot, there’s no turning back. If you chicken out, you’ll be embarrassing me, Old Ning.”

“Hmph, what are you saying? Will I chicken out? Just you wait and see, I’m afraid the front line won’t want to let me go then.” Ye Liuyun said enthusiastically, standing up.

This was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Of course, from Ning Nanguo’s perspective, while the army was dangerous, sending Ye Liuyun to the Ferocious Beast Zone was even more dangerous.

Even in the peripheral areas, powerful Vicious Beasts could easily appear.

Even if he sent people to protect him, he couldn’t guarantee his safety, but the army was different.

Besides that, there was also the trial zone, which was both a Ferocious Beast Zone and had supply stations built by humans there.

However, the danger coefficient there was higher than in these two areas. Sometimes, humans are the most dangerous. It’s a mixed bag there, with all sorts of people.

Those who trade with Vicious Beasts are not a small number.

So, all things considered, Ye Liuyun going to the army was just right.

After breakfast, Ning Nanguo went to work. A person of his Rank had many matters to deal with every day.

He gave many instructions and warnings before leaving.

Secretary Liu saw all of this. Ye Liuyun was undoubtedly a Genius among Geniuses, but what was even more commendable was that he was even more diligent, despite being more talented than most people.

This practical combat college entrance examination brought psychological trauma to many students. Even those without trauma didn't want to face Vicious Beasts again for a while.

Yet, this one was doing the opposite.

After Ning Nanguo left, Ye Liuyun also returned to his home.

He checked all his equipment.

Just as Ning Nanguo said, the brutality of the battlefield was beyond his imagination... 3 PM.

Ye Liuyun got into Secretary Liu’s special car and headed to the military airport.

There was a batch of troops heading to the front line, and Ye Liuyun would hitch a ride with them.

Upon reaching the airport, the car drove directly inside.

Ye Liuyun saw a transport ship from afar, but its size was much smaller than the one that picked him up during the college entrance examination.

After parking, Secretary Liu spoke to the officer next to the transport ship, while Ye Liuyun stood behind, looking around.

At the military airport, there were various weapons and transport ships everywhere, and even a battleship.

He was dazzled, and couldn't help but think of his own small mobile ship.

“You go back and tell Old Ning that we will treat everyone equally and won’t give him special treatment.

Of course, if danger arises, I will certainly not let Old Ning be without an heir.” The officer said in a low voice.

“Very good, that’s exactly the meaning. Thank you for your trouble, then I’ll hand him over to you.” Secretary Liu smiled slightly.

“Liuyun, this is Xiao Chen, the company commander of this action company. You’ll follow him.”

Hearing Secretary Liu’s words, Ye Liuyun quickly walked over, raised his hand, and saluted, “Hello, Company Commander Xiao.”

“Hello! Your spirit is good, worthy of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination.” Xiao Chen looked at Ye Liuyun and nodded.

Although whether someone was powerful or not couldn't be judged by appearance now, undoubtedly, Ye Liuyun’s physique and looks were exactly what the army liked most.

“Then I’ll be leaving. Thank you for your trouble, Company Commander Xiao.” Secretary Liu waved his hand and turned to get into the car.

He had already explained everything that needed to be explained.

After watching Secretary Liu leave, Xiao Chen looked at the S-Rank battle attire on Ye Liuyun and smacked his lips.

“Old Liu, get Ye Liuyun a set of combat fatigues to wear over it.”

It was too conspicuous.

The battle attire of ordinary soldiers was standard E-Rank, platoon leaders were D-Rank, company commanders were C-Rank, battalion commanders were B-Rank, and regimental commanders were A-Rank.

S-Rank was generally for division commanders.

This kid was the same Rank as a division commander, and it even looked like it was custom-made by Blue Meteor Company.

It might even be better than a division commander’s, too eye-catching.

“Wear the combat fatigues over it. I’ve already heard about your situation, and honestly, I admire you.

The top scorer of the college entrance examination coming here to be a grunt. I hope you have a pleasant holiday.”

“Reporting, Company Commander, I also hope I have a pleasant time!”

Hearing Ye Liuyun’s strong and clear words, Xiao Chen was a little surprised. This guy had done his homework.

“Good! Change into your clothes and board the ship!”
