Chapter 849: Seeing Now and Knowing
"W-what?"
Nian Qian’s tongue was almost tied. “G-G-G-fighter?”
He waved his hand behind him and said, "Wait a moment, let me take my time."
He felt that his emotions today were like a roller coaster, going up and down, which was really exciting.
What is the concept of a fighter?
Apart from anything else, he knew the situation in the army. Whenever a fighter appeared, the entire combat system would be built around him.
Although he had never officially seen the fighters fight, he had seen the field recordings of the fighters after the fights. That time he was really shocked. It was hard to imagine that such powerful strength and destructive power could be exerted by human body alone. He could not forget those recorded scenes for a long time.
His special forces company was considered powerful, but he knew that if they were placed in front of a fighter, they would be no different from ordinary soldiers.
In fact, when he heard that Chen Chuan had become a third-level fighter, he was already very surprised. Such people are the backbone of the army, the main members who cannot be replaced so far, and their salary is very high, but a fighter...
This made his thinking pause for a moment, as if something that originally existed only in his concept suddenly came into reality.
But thinking about it again, everything seemed to make sense. If my cousin was not a fighter, how could he become the director of the Defense Department at such a young age?
But... a fighter was actually his cousin? He was sitting next to him just now?
He sat in a daze for a moment, then suddenly saw in the rearview mirror that Nian Fuli and Yu Wan had gotten out of the car and were getting their luggage from the back seat. He quickly opened the door and got out, saying, "Mom and Dad, I'll do it. I can handle this. Why should I bother you? Don't tire yourself out."
Nian Fuli waited for Chen Chuan to open the trunk, then he took the heavy suitcase out first, put it on the ground, snorted, and said, "Your father hasn't reached the point where he can't use his strength anymore."
Yu Wan didn't expose him. She pushed Nian Qian and motioned him to go and help.
Nian Qian said, "Dad, your spirit is unmatched by any officer in the army. It's just that it's a rare opportunity for your son to come home, so you should let him show off his spirit, right?"
Nian Fuli wanted to say something, but Yu Wan patted him and he moved aside.
Nian Qian came up and took out the remaining bag. He looked at Chen Chuan who had put it down in the trunk and muttered to himself, "I don't think there's anything different about my cousin. I can't tell. I really can't tell at all."
He said, "Cousin, you really gave me a surprise, no... a shock!"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I only got this position a few days ago. I told my family about it a few days ago, so I haven't had time to tell my cousin yet."
Nian Qian said, "No, no, I'm talking about a fighter, a fighter!" He raised his voice excitedly, "Cousin, a fighter!"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Nian Qian looked at him and snorted. He suddenly felt that the things that might make him excited and mysterious might be very common in front of this cousin.
He said from the bottom of his heart, "Cousin, I'm really convinced!" He walked closer and asked tentatively, "How is it? Can you tell me about it later?"
Chen Chuan could see that he was very curious about fighters. This should be a common problem and obsession of technical officers. He smiled and nodded.
The family turned in from the alley and returned home. Nian Qian first wiped his face, and then took out some gifts he brought from outside.
He knew his family's preferences very well. The things were not expensive, but the whole family liked them very much. In particular, he did not forget to bring a gift for Chen Chuan as well.
"Cousin, look, this is for you."
Chen Chuan took it and looked at it, and was a little surprised. It was a hardcover poster of all the adventure movies over the years, and some of them were out of print and almost impossible to find on the market.
He looked up and said, "Cousin, thank you for your concern."
"Hey, nothing!" Nian Qian waved his hand, "A comrade of mine in the army also likes this. Once we had a drinking contest and I drank him down, so I won this from him.
When he brought them to me, he was so heartbroken, and he told me to keep them safe with tears in his eyes. I thought it would be right to leave them with you, my cousin."
Chen Chuan nodded. These were his predecessor’s favorite things, and he would keep them well.
Yu Wan was holding Nian Mo's hands and wiping his face, watching the two of them talking there. The whole family was reunited, and this was the happiest moment for her.
But then she thought, it would be great if her eldest and second sisters were both there.
Although Nian Qian was talking to Chen Chuan, he was still paying attention to his surroundings. This was a habit he developed in the army. At this time, he noticed Yu Wan's mood. As the eldest son, he knew his mother best, so he said:
"Mom, didn't you say you hadn't visited Auntie for a long time? This time, I have over a hundred days off. After the New Year, I'll go visit Auntie on your behalf. I was able to join the army thanks to my uncle's connections, and I haven't thanked him properly yet."
Chen Chuan said, "I have an airship here, so it's very convenient for traveling. Aunt, if you want to visit Aunt, why don't we go together?"
Yu Wan looked at Nian Fuli, "What do you say, old man?"
Nian Fuli said, "It's the right thing to do. We're all relatives, so we should visit each other. It would be unreasonable not to say hello to Qian'er when he comes back this time."
"Oh, let's take an airship, let's take an airship." When Nian Mo heard this, he jumped up. Yu Wan almost couldn't hold him down and patted him.
Nian Lu's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Cousin, can we take the airship to Central City?"
"To Central City?"
Nian Qian was a little surprised and looked at Chen Chuan, "Cousin, are you going to take my parents to Central City?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Nian Fuli said, "We just decided on this yesterday. Qian'er, now that you're back, I was just about to tell you that your cousin plans to move his family to Central City after the New Year."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "After all, my current position will inevitably affect my uncle and aunt. It will be inconvenient for them to live in Yangzhi, and my cousins can get a better education in the central city."
Nian Qian understood this. There would be many people who would come up to Chen Chuan for his position. Moreover, if he went to the Central City, his younger brothers and sisters could also go to study there. Besides, given his official position, he must have known about the big bombing. The family was not safe in Yangzhi, but it would be much better in the Central City.
In fact, he had been thinking about this matter for a long time, but was still trying to figure out how to do it. However, Chen Chuan helped him solve this problem.
He asked, "When do you plan to leave?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "No rush. I can go back to Central City to make some arrangements. Once everything is done, I can bring my uncle, aunt, and cousins over."
Nian Qian's expression became more serious, and he said, "Cousin, you are so thoughtful."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Cousin, I'm also a family member. It's my duty to care about family matters."
Nian Qian nodded, came up and patted his shoulder heavily. He suddenly felt happy and thought, "This is a fighter's shoulder. Today I finally got to pat it."
He had traveled a long way, so after talking for a while, he went to take a shower and then had a big meal. While eating, he mumbled, "The food in the army is good, but my mother's cooking is still the best."
Yu Wan smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more," and then reminded, "Eat slowly and don't choke."
Nian Fuli looked at the solid muscles that were exposed after he took off his shirt, hummed, and said, "My time in the army was not in vain. I have become much stronger."
Nian Qian sighed and said, "It's impossible not to be strong. All I do is go to class, train, and drill all day long, and then lead the troops on training marches. I don't have any free time at all. Except for my days off, I don't have much time to relax."
Nian Fuli said, "This hardship is worth it."
"That's it."
Nian Qian looked at Chen Chuan again: "But my suffering is nothing compared to my cousin's. I have seen several third-level fighters in the army. They are constantly practicing and training all day long. Except when they are on missions, they have never stopped for a long time. I found a chance to ask them, "Aren't you tired?"
They said it wasn't that they didn't want to rest, but they knew the fighters on the other side were also training very hard, and if they slacked off for a moment, they might lose their lives, so they didn't dare to stop.
What he didn't say was that it was already like this for the third-level fighter, and he didn't know what it would be like for the fighter. It wouldn't get any easier.
"Chan'er..." Yu Wan looked at Chen Chuan with some heartache. She didn't expect that training would be so hard. She couldn't imagine how much suffering Chen Chuan had endured over the years.
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Cousin, we usually train a lot, but it's not hard work. For me, it's actually a kind of fun. Watching my strength gradually grow stronger, that kind of joy is hard to get rid of."
Nian Qian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt relieved, with an expression of sincere admiration on his face.
No wonder his cousin has come so far. Although those fighters are training hard every day, he can see that they are actually full of resistance in their hearts. In fact, these people just want to use fighting skills in exchange for a better life and enjoyment, rather than really liking to do so.
There are very few people who are truly immersed in it, at least not among those he has met.
This is a huge difference. Others treat it as a chore, but the more you practice, the more joy you gain, the more devoted you become. And your talent may even be higher than theirs. How can others compare with you? Isn't the gap widening?
He finally couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, what exactly is a fighter like?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "To put it simply, on the battlefield, if the fighters are fully staminaed, the number of people is actually meaningless, and ordinary guns and cannons will not be of much use to us."
As he was speaking, a ball of fluff came bouncing towards his cousin, but suddenly stopped when it approached his shoulder and just hovered there.
Nian Qian suddenly widened his eyes, because he saw that the dining table in front of him, the chairs beside him, and himself, were all slowly floating up as if they were weightless.
