After listening to Chu Tianxing's introduction, Wang Zheng fell silent for a moment. He then checked Ling Youjie's injuries again, casually cast two holy lights on him, and then waited quietly.
Before the two could even sit down for a while, the commander on duty for the day arrived.
This man was exceptionally burly, and looked to be about the same age as Chu Tianxing. Despite it being the dead of winter, he was wearing a summer military uniform, casually draped over his shoulders, with a military green vest underneath. His massive muscles were on full display, giving him an exceptionally unrestrained and wild appearance.
Before the person even entered the door, their hearty laughter rang out.
Looking at the two bars and three stars on his shoulder and the aura he exuded, Wang Zheng managed to suppress his reckless impulse and didn't dare to scan him.
Unexpectedly, the visitor was an old acquaintance of Chu Tianxing, and the two quickly struck up a conversation.
"Hahaha, I knew my eyelids were twitching today, turns out a distinguished person is coming to visit."
Old Chu, what brings you here, you busy man? It must have been four or five years since we last met in Jingnan.
"It's been so long since I've seen you in person! What, are you here in Chongqing on a mission?"
Chu Tianxing also smiled, exuding an air of superiority when he was out and about.
"We were just taking students to Yunnan for training when we were ambushed by that beast, the Crimson Flame Eagle King. As a result, the transport plane crashed, and the accompanying security officer was killed. So we had to come here to rest for a while."
Unexpectedly, the colonel also flew into a rage upon hearing this, and angrily slammed his fist on the table.
Wang Zheng watched as countless wood chips fell from the ironwood table under his palm strike, and couldn't help but compare himself to the other person in his mind. In the end, he shook his head helplessly.
It should be noted that this ironwood is a genuine fourth-grade plant-beast material. After the trunk is dried and pressed, its toughness is no less than that of a B-grade alloy.
One can only imagine how strong Colonel Rui Xiong must be.
Rui Xiong continued, "This beast has attacked our transport team four times in the past six months. One day I will kill him!"
Chu Tianxing, though angry, remained silent and said calmly:
"Although he escaped this time, he was still struck in the heart by my thunder at the last moment."
That beast is bad at healing. If nothing unexpected happens, unless he secretly finds a secluded place to recuperate for a year or two, he probably won't recover.
"By the way, Wang Zheng, come here quickly. This is Rui Xiong from the Yucheng Military Region, Colonel Rui!"
Wang Zheng was naturally very obedient, and upon hearing Chu Tianxing's greeting, he took the initiative to step forward and bow.
"Colonel Rui, hello, I am Wang Zheng from Jingnan University."
"Good! Good! Good!"
Rui Xiong said "good" three times in a row. It was unclear whether he was praising Wang Zheng or because he had received news that the Crimson Flame Eagle King was injured. His spiritual energy fluctuations were very active, and he was obviously very excited.
He then looked Wang Zheng up and down, patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder, and praised him:
"Very good! You're quite robust! You're so young yet you're already venturing into the battlefield for training. You'll be graduating soon, right?"
"Any interest in joining the army after graduation? The benefits in Chongqing are pretty good, and there are endless monsters to fight every day!"
He seemed to be very familiar with Chu Tianxing, completely disregarding the old man's intentions, and directly poached him right in front of everyone.
Good heavens! Wang Zheng exclaimed.
Is this colonel really that stupid? He has to fight countless monsters every day. With such terrible conditions, where do you get the confidence to recruit people?
Although he was indeed somewhat tempted after hearing those words.
However, this only applies to him, Young Master Wang. If it were anyone else, they would probably run away as fast as they could.
"Why don't you switch to a slaughterhouse job? I'd even pay out of my own pocket to do it!"
Seeing Chu Tianxing's face turn as black as an iron pot, Wang Zheng naturally dared not say those words, so he quickly refused.
Wang Dashao's acting skills are now superb and unparalleled.
He gave a simple, honest smile and then scratched his head.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Colonel Rui, but I'm only a freshman and have several years before graduation. Besides, my abilities are not yet sufficient, and I still need our principal to guide me more."
What exactly constitutes top-tier rhetoric? (International lean back)
This sentence not only politely declined Rui Xiong's invitation, but also demonstrated that he, as a freshman, already had the ability to gain battlefield experience, and subtly gave Chu Tianxing a boost, thus saving face for his principal.
When Rui Xiong heard that Wang Zheng was only a freshman, he took a closer look and realized that the young man in front of him was indeed very young, with not even a fuzzy beard yet.
Then he quickly laughed it off, trying to cover it up.
"Haha, as expected, geniuses emerge from among the young. Such a temperament at such a young age is very good. You must work even harder in the future and not embarrass your principal."
He had a good plan, but Chu Tianxing wasn't going to be so polite and wasn't going to let go of the opportunity to mock his friend.
"Old Rui, stop dreaming. Even if this kid doesn't stay at Nanjing University, it's not your place to reap the rewards. That old commander from the Jingnan Military Region has his eye on him for a long time."
"What!"
Upon hearing this news, Rui Xiong scrutinized Wang Zheng carefully once more, even using his mental energy to examine him.
However, apart from a feeling of suffocation that is difficult to exert or perceive when mental energy is near him, there is nothing unusual.
Rui Xiong was full of doubt, feeling that the young man in front of him had nothing outstanding about him except for his honest and simple appearance.
His previous recruitment was just out of habit; he assumed that any high-achieving student who could be taken to the battlefield by Chu Tianxing for training must be exceptional.
Only now do they truly begin to see Wang Zheng in a different light.
