Chapter 261: Why don't you go to the Northern Army to make a difference, and stay here as a small chairman?
"The Northern Defense Army?"
Hearing Jinping's words, Russell was stunned for a moment.
He never thought that he would encounter such a difficult problem just because he came here to get some benefits.
You have to know that the Association and the Northern Defense Army are two different systems, and he can't just go there whenever he wants.
Jin Ping wiped the blood off his right hand slowly and said expressionlessly, "This is an order."
"Or"
"You want to defy my will?"
Seeing the old man's eyes in front of him gradually become dangerous, Russell forced himself to control the fear in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Yes, I understand, President."
"I will try my best to transfer to the Northern Defense Army."
He has not forgotten what role he is playing now. In Jin Ping's eyes, his contract has never expired!
If I hesitated for even a moment now, I would have a hard time returning alive today.
After hearing Russell's answer, Jinping still looked at him indifferently, carefully observing the young man's expression.
After a while, the old man with the hooked nose suddenly showed a kind smile on his face: "You did a good job this time, Xiaoliu."
"What reward do you want?"
Hearing this, Russell finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he had gotten away with it this time.
At this time, cold sweat had already covered his back. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Moody old lunatic!"
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face, and just replied respectfully: "President, it's up to you to decide."
Seemingly very satisfied with Russell's attitude, Jin Ping walked up to him, stretched out his unwiped right hand and patted his shoulder, leaving a trail of blood marks: "You just broke through to the Emerald Level, so I will support you with a set of Emerald Level materials."
The old man paused for a moment, considering that the young man in front of him might not have figured out the story of the next Emerald-level card, and continued, "Just tell Xiaowu about your specific needs, and he will send it to you when the time comes."
"Yes, thank you, President."
Having successfully gained the benefits, Russell's originally bad mood improved a little.
But after all, it was still difficult to transfer him to the Northern Defense Army, and it was strange no matter how you looked at it that one of Bai Yueming's disciples went to work under Fang Wenlong.
unless
Just as he was thinking, Jin Ping said again: "After you go to the Northern Defense Army, you will only have one mission."
"That is to try our best to obtain relevant information about the Demon Army's experiment."
"Remember, try your best, even if you are exposed."
Hearing this, Russell's heart sank. You know, when he went to Donglai to take office, Jin Ping had told him that he could sacrifice the entire Donglai Begging Spirit Society in order to hide himself.
But this time he no longer cared whether he would be exposed or not. He only wanted to obtain detailed information about Li Shuo's experiment. This was enough to show how much Jin Ping valued that experiment.
He valued him so much that he was willing to sacrifice this tough guy he had cultivated.
However, Russell certainly would not show any abnormality at this time, and nodded honestly: "Yes, President."
"Then I'll go back first."
"Ah."
Seeing the young man disappear in the room, Jin Ping's eyes flickered: "Hey, those useless people from the Guiyi Sect actually managed to come up with something."
"Unfortunately, it is still a little far from what I imagined."
“The plan still needs to go on.”
On the other side, Russell finally relaxed his tense nerves after returning home.
Russell didn't care about trying his best to obtain the information. After all, he was not really controlled, and Jinping had no way of knowing whether he had tried his best or not. He would probably not be able to tell if he could just fool the old man.
Russell could even modify some of the experimental content and let Jinping cosplay Ouyang Feng who was deceived by Huang Rong.
However, he was troubled by how to infiltrate the Northern Defense Army.
It’s not that there is no way, but because he really has a way to get in.
Russell did not forget that his senior brother and second senior sister were in the Northern Defense Army.
Although he is not very familiar with these two compared to Guguai Lao Tao, there should still be room for maneuver in this matter. I think the Northern Defense Army will not reject this genius of his, right?
The problem of how to transfer to the Northern Defense Army was solved, but Russell had to face a more difficult problem next.
That's how to explain it to Bai Yueming.
He sent a message to his teacher with an uneasy mood, but received no reply after a long time.
“Is the situation in Antarctica so bad?”
Russell now has mixed feelings.
The good news is that since Bai Yueming didn't reply, he can just act first and report later.
What worries him is that it has been a long time since he last sent greetings, but there has been still no response. Even a fool would know that something big must be going on in Antarctica right now.
"I hope everything is okay, teacher."
After blessing his teacher in his heart, Russell sent a message politely rejecting Qi Ran's previous proposal.
The reason given is also very simple.
If it benefits the country, I will do it regardless of life or death!
Compared to being a firefighter in Qilu, Russell is ready to go directly to the Northern Army to make his mark!
When Qi Ran received this message, he was completely confused, but the woman immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry.
After confirming over the phone that Russell was determined to leave, she looked at the hung-up phone and murmured to herself: "If I had known, I wouldn't have said it."
"Hey"
After rejecting Qi Ran's repeated invitations, Russell immediately posted a message in "Loving Family".
[Russell: @Zhang Jingxing @Ye Zhirou, Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, I am going to go to the Northern Army to contribute my own strength. Do you have any ideas? ]
[Russell: If that doesn't work, I'll start as a soldier.]
[Russell: Oh, by the way, I’m Emerald Level. ]
【walnut:? 】
In the blink of an eye, Lonely Tao typed a question mark in the group chat, and it was obvious that she was really bored.
But soon, the group chat was filled with question marks.
【Zhang Jingxing:? 】
[Ye Zhirou:? ]
【Li Fuyu:? 】
[Li Fuyu: Junior brother, are you still human? I remember that you have been a card maker for less than two years. Ye Diantang is not as fast as you. It is really outrageous.]
Russell looked at the Third Senior Brother's speech on the phone, which was still without punctuation as usual, and couldn't help but complain: "I don't know how the people under Senior Brother Li can stand it."
However, before he could reply, Li Fuyu had already discovered the blind spot.
[Li Fuyu: Wait, Junior Brother, have you told the teacher that you are going to the Northern Army? ! ]
[Russell: The teacher did not respond.]
[Zhang Jingxing: Teacher, I can't reply for the time being, but are you sure, little junior brother? The Northern Army is not a good place.]
After seeing what the eldest senior brother said, Russell understood. Apparently, as the eldest senior brother, Zhang Jingxing had some understanding of Bai Yueming's situation.
[Russell: Well, President Qi of the Qiluka Division Association told me that your Northern Defense Army is preparing to withdraw its defense line recently? So I thought about going to help. ]
[Russell: As for the teacher, he should understand my choice. ]
[Russell: And it’s not like I’m not planning on going back to the coast.]
[Li Fuyu: That’s good. I thought you were going to take over Master Fang’s mantle.]
[Zhang Jingxing: I understand. I will tell the higher-ups. I will let you know when there is any news.] [Russell: Thank you, Senior Brother.]
【Zhang Jingxing: You'd better not thank me. I'm afraid that the teacher will beat me to death.】
Russell laughed when he saw Zhang Jingxing's joke.
How could these disciples not know what kind of person their teacher is?
Bai Yueming treats each disciple as a complete and independent individual.
Just like Hu Tao, as a diamond-level card maker, he is working as a class teacher in Nanjing University, which is really a waste of talent.
Moreover, considering that she is already a diamond-level card maker at her age, her talent is definitely extraordinary. Others think that she is just wasting her time.
But Bai Yueming still said nothing.
Just as Russell was about to put away his phone, a sudden vibration stopped him.
Upon closer inspection, it was a private message.
【Walnut: Liar.】
Seeing this news, Russell couldn't help but be stunned.
Why does my own senior sister make me look like a scumbag who cheats people for money and sex?
But he soon figured out why.
[Russell: I will find time to come back and see your senior sister. Senior sister, you are making me feel guilty. ]
【Walnut: Big liar.】
Russell froze. It was true that he had not returned to Nandu during this period, but God had mercy on him as he was really overwhelmed by the Guiyi Sect in Donglai and had no time to go back to visit his relatives.
He typed quickly on his cell phone.
[Russell: This time it's real. If you lie to me, I'll be struck by lightning.]
He thought that he was just going to the Northern Army to gather some intelligence, and he shouldn't have to worry about everything like in Donglai.
After all, the Northern Defense Army is not like the two or three big cats and small cats in Donglai. There are many diamond-level card makers in the army, not to mention the master-level card maker Fang Wenlong.
[Hu Tao: Forget it, Junior Brother, I wish you a long life. ]
Hu Tao, she is so serious, it makes me cry to death.
Russell's sense of guilt grew stronger and stronger.
He could understand why Hu Tao only looked for him, because before he came, the lonely old Tao was the youngest among Bai Yueming's disciples.
It is very likely that his senior sister, like himself, has never had much contact with the other three senior brothers and sisters, so now he, the youngest, has become the most familiar person to the other party besides the teacher.
[Russell: I have almost dealt with the things in Donglai. I should have some time before I go to the Northern Army. I will go back to Nandu and live there for a few days.]
【Walnut: Yes.】
Putting away his phone, Russell sighed silently, feeling deeply that he had a heavy responsibility to maintain the good atmosphere of his school.
Then he began to think about what materials to exchange for the rewards given by Jinping.
Right now, he only has one Emerald Grade material on hand. He has also thought of a use for the [Dingguo·Red Dragon] dropped by Li Shuo, which is to upgrade Lily to Emerald Grade.
But there is a key problem
Lily has the chain card [Silver Arm].
As for the chain effect, when Lily is promoted, investing [Holy Sword·Excalibur] will strengthen her, which obviously requires that [Holy Sword·Excalibur] be produced first.
Then the material rewards given by the Qi Ling Society are not suitable for exchanging for the materials needed to promote Lily.
Of course, it is not suitable for exchanging materials for upgrading [Silver Arm].
After all, even if [Silver Arm] was upgraded to [Holy Sword Excalibur], Russell currently did not have a suitable card to use it.
As for exchanging materials for making cards under the identity of the Qiling Society
He would be a fool to do that.
Obviously, he would not need his identity as a member of the Qiling Society in the short period of time after he joined the Northern Defense Army.
"Forget it, don't worry."
Letting out a sigh of relief, Russell decided to talk about it later.
Noon, on the outskirts of Nandu.
Russell looked at the tall beauty in front of him who was only half a head shorter than him and said softly, "Senior Sister, I'm leaving now."
"I'll come back to see you later when I have time."
He still felt a little guilty when he said this.
After all, he seemed to have said something like this the last time he went to Donglai to take up his post.
Hearing this, Kurumi nodded slightly: "Be careful."
Russell waved his hand, and then, led by the ghost soldiers, he disappeared into the shadows, leaving Walnut standing quietly there. After a long time, he turned around and entered the manor behind him.
On the other hand, Russell felt that the speed of [Ghost Mask] was no longer enough for him on his way to Jizhou Town.
However, due to the lack of materials, he currently has no plans to change it.
Let’s talk about his destination, Jizhou Town.
Before the card maker appeared, the Ming Dynasty had been beaten dizzy by foreign races. The Jizhou Town, which was supposed to contain the nine border guards, became an important border town instead.
Even though the alien races that caused this situation were almost wiped out, the original territory was not recovered.
Because there are things in those lands that are more terrifying than the aliens: demons.
This time, Russell was going to Jizhou Town to take up the post. His senior brother Zhang Jingxing had informed him of the position before.
He was the assistant commander of the Northern Army stationed in Jizhou.
If calculated according to the official rank of the imperial court, it would be the third rank.
"From this point of view, it's not low. If I remember correctly, Master Fang should be the Left Commander-in-Chief."
It is worth mentioning that due to the emergence of card makers, although the Northern Defense Army still uses the military rank names from before the Ming Dynasty, their numbers and functions have actually changed beyond recognition.
Just like the original Duzhijianshi, there were only four in the entire Dusi (similar to today's military region).
But in the Northern Defense Army, as long as one is Emerald Rank, he is at least a deputy commander, and the number is increasing rapidly.
As the number increases, it is naturally impossible for everyone to lead troops, and not everyone has the talent to lead troops.
Just like Russell has never been exposed to military books. He may be good at commanding Pokémon in battles, but large-scale group operations are not a big deal for him.
However, although he has no soldiers under his command, there is actually no distinction between the ranks of the commanders.
After all, this is an extraordinary world, and the right answer is to attribute great power to oneself.
What if you don’t have soldiers? An Emerald-level card maker can form an army by himself.
Just as he was daydreaming, the sky was gradually getting dark.
"I should have left earlier."
As Russell muttered to himself, a majestic and fortified city suddenly came into his sight.
"Whoosh!"
Just as he was getting closer and closer to the fortified city, an extremely shrill whistle was heard, and at the same time Xiao Wu instantly appeared in front of Russell.
"Om~"
Then a shout rang out from the city wall: "This is a strategically located border area, anyone coming here should stop!"
Looking at the feather arrow that was constantly shaking in Xiao Wu's hand, Russell took a deep breath.
"Russell, the deputy commander of the Northern Army, come and take up your post!"
