6: Join the army

Inside the small hut, cast from gray reinforced concrete.

Chen Fan and the two men stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became a bit strange.

But before Chen Fan could speak, Yan Xiao, the one-armed man in military uniform, took out a blue folder and began to read from it.

“Chen Fan, seventeen years old, from Beihe District, Kyoto Base City.”

“Lives in Chepi Village, both parents are construction workers!”

“No problem with the above, right?”

Chen Fan: “That’s my information, correct.”

Yan Xiao stared intently at Chen Fan, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Under such circumstances, Chen Fan could still be so calm, no wonder he performed excellently in Monster Town.

Immediately after, Yan Xiao asked another question.

“Then, do you want to join the army?”

“Yes!”

A crisp and clear answer, without the slightest hesitation.

Yan Xiao: “...”

The bearded man: “...”

The two exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in the other’s eyes.

This plot seemed a bit off!

A conversation and persuasion that should have been lengthy ended in a few short questions and answers.

As a result, all the lines Yan Xiao and his companion had carefully prepared, and all the words meant to appeal to emotion, reason, and self-interest, were rendered useless.

But it was fine, the goal had been achieved.

Ignoring what the two strange men in military uniform were thinking, Chen Fan’s thoughts were simple, only two.

First, to join the army, defend his homeland, and become the first Great Wall to protect his loved ones in the era of catastrophe.

Second, to grow rapidly in the army so that even if he died in the Wilderness Area, his parents would be taken care of by the country.

Third, as a university lecturer in his previous life, Chen Fan’s goal had always been to join the army as a soldier.

Regret for two years if you join the army, regret for a lifetime if you don’t!

He missed it in his previous life, but after transmigrating to this life, the opportunity had come!

A piercing divine light flickered in Chen Fan’s eyes, and his aura instantly became awe-inspiring.

Resist the monsters, defend the homeland!!

Without asking why, the bearded man and Yan Xiao knew what to ask and what not to ask.

For individuals like Chen Fan, who came from humble beginnings but possessed extraordinary martial artist talent, they would show the utmost respect.

Next, the three sat on the sofa in the small hut, drinking tea and discussing matters concerning the Wilderness Area and monsters.

“In these past few years of the rr virus’s rampage, many Lord-Level Monsters have appeared within the Jingji Garrison’s defense perimeter, and even Beast General-level monsters have greatly increased in number. The situation is very grim!”

The bearded man glanced at Yan Xiao’s empty sleeve, then looked at Chen Fan with a melancholy expression and said:

“So, Chen Fan, you must remember that when you operate in the wilderness in the future, whether alone or leading a team, you must be careful. Never, ever go deep alone without support.”

Chen Fan remained silent, simply nodding heavily.

From the bearded man’s words, he heard a hint of genuine concern.

It was like an elder giving advice to a junior.

“After all, good prospects like you are too rare. We’re still hoping to see the day you become a God of War... Hahaha...”

“Hahaha...”

Hearty laughter quickly echoed in the enclosed hut.

After a long while, Yan Xiao finally spoke.

“Chen Fan, remember, the wilderness is not as safe as Monster Town; there are too many unexpected situations and monsters.

Moreover, we frequently fight monsters on the front lines, so the danger factor is extremely high.

Therefore, after joining the army, you will need to undergo a month-long new recruit camp to familiarize yourself with all of this.”

The one-armed man in military uniform said with a solemn expression:

“Our Jingji Garrison bears the defense mission for the entire Kyoto Base City, but this doesn’t mean we don’t value talent. In these special times, every martial artist who joins the army is a future Great Wall of China.”

“Even if blood is shed on the battlefield, the sacrifice must be meaningful. Therefore, our Jingji Garrison has an unwritten rule—”

Chen Fan listened intently.

“That is, all martial artists, upon joining our Jingji Garrison, must undergo a month-long new recruit camp, then be commissioned and assigned to a unit or a special squad!”

“Only by mastering skills can one better protect the homeland!!”

“Even if one dies in battle, one must die in a worthy place!!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan’s expression was shaken.

From his words, Chen Fan heard an undeniable sense of responsibility and duty.

There was also a readiness to face death, like the saying, “Loyal bones lie everywhere in the green mountains, why must one return wrapped in horsehide?”

A man should be like this!!

Yan Xiao looked at Chen Fan and said earnestly: “As for the rest, your instructor in the new recruit camp will teach you. You must study hard, for your future!”

After speaking, he proceeded with the most important signing process.

In special times, the process of joining the army was also quick.

First, Chen Fan’s relevant information was checked. After confirming there were no issues, they immediately began to finalize the agreement.

In less than ten minutes, two copies of the agreement were brought in.

Chen Fan took one of them and read it carefully.

The terms of this agreement were very clear, simple, and straightforward.

After reading it, Chen Fan signed without the slightest hesitation.

“Chen Fan, welcome to the Jingji Garrison!”

“Welcome, our little brother Chen Fan!!”

The two officers smiled and embraced Chen Fan one after another.

Chen Fan was equally happy.

After so many years, he had finally fulfilled a wish of his.

If he couldn’t go to university, he could go fight monsters!

“From now on, your parents can live in the special villas of the Garrison and receive protection.”

Yan Xiao smiled: “And you, from now on, are a new recruit of the 492nd Regiment of the Ninth Army of our Jingji Garrison.”

“Jingji Garrison, Ninth Army, 492nd Regiment, new recruit Chen Fan.”

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, then his pocket vibrated a few times.

He took out his phone to check.

It turned out to be a transfer notification.

【Your card ending in 5731 received a transfer of 20,000,000 yuan on August 4th at 10:26. Balance: 20,000,388.29 yuan】

【Your card ending in 5731 received a transfer of 20,000,000 yuan on August 4th at 10:26. Balance: 40,000,388.29 yuan】

【Your card ending in 5731 received a transfer of 11,070,000 yuan on August 4th at 10:26. Balance: 51,070,388.29 yuan】

For an elite like Chen Fan, the conditions offered by the Jingji Garrison were very generous.

Fifty million yuan had been credited to his account, and the extra 1.07 million yuan was an additional reward from the military for his excellent performance in Monster Town.

The fifty million startup capital and a complete set of four-element Blood Shadow Battle Blade had already met Chen Fan’s daily needs.

Looking at the eight-figure sum in his card, Chen Fan felt a moment of trance.

This was equivalent to over a hundred years of his salary in his previous life.

The more money he had, the calmer Chen Fan’s state of mind became.

For no other reason than this:

This startup capital had its own unique way of being used for Chen Fan.

Whether it was the upgrading of battle suits and Battle Blades or the purchase of martial artist secret manuals, all would require a large amount of money.

Chen Fan would not be stingy about this.

In the Wilderness Area, equipment and strength were equally important.

Only stronger strength and equipment could earn more money and kill more monsters!
