Moreover, he could tell that Shen Guannan's answer this time seemed different, lacking the carelessness he used to show.
Lu Jin'an was in a hurry to take Gu Zhilin back, so she didn't exchange any more pleasantries with the two men and left with Gu Zhilin.
When Gu Zhilin arrived at the army base, he was still a little nervous.
After getting off the flying car, Lu Jin'an led him towards the dormitory area.
"Don't I need to report this first or anything?"
Lu Jin'an simply smiled faintly: "The normal enlistment process does require reporting for duty first, but it's not conscription time now. And you're not an ordinary person."
Gu Zhilin shook his head: "How am I not an ordinary person?"
“You’re my partner, Lu Jin’an!” Lu Jin’an said matter-of-factly.
But Gu Zhilin disagreed: "Isn't your partner different? Did you also skip the normal procedures when you enlisted?"
Lu Jin'an was stunned for a moment, it really was true.
Although he usually follows the normal procedures.
However, he was, after all, a descendant of one of the four great families, and his father was the only member of one of the four great families to hold a military position.
Therefore, he did not follow the normal procedures when he enlisted.
However, after enlisting, everything was done according to the standards for ordinary soldiers.
He was able to prove his abilities and pass the warship helmsman test after a year of service.
He passed the A-level helmsman test within two years of becoming a helmsman, transforming himself from an ordinary soldier into a warrior.
Later, after passing the S-class helmsman test and with his military achievements on the battlefield, he became the youngest general in the entire Earth Alliance.
Seeing the man's expression, Gu Zhilin knew he must have been right.
He said calmly, "I don't mean to blame you. I just think that no matter what your status is, you should follow the normal procedures."
“I wasn’t selected for the army through normal means in the first place, and now this is happening again. If my other comrades see this, they might not be happy.”
Lu Jin'an blurted out instinctively, "Who dares to be unhappy?"
But after seeing Gu Zhilin frown, she patiently explained, "Actually, I didn't give you any special treatment. The reason you don't need to report is because I already took care of all the reporting procedures for you yesterday, and the higher-ups have agreed to it."
"As for preferential treatment regarding enlistment time, you certainly have the ability, after all, I invited you, not you were selected through an examination."
"You're really valued by the higher-ups. I'll take you to your dormitory first. Don't think you'll have an easy day today; I'll take you to meet the generals and marshals later."
After hearing Lu Jin'an's words, Gu Zhilin felt somewhat at ease.
Then, somewhat embarrassed, she said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
"It's okay. I'm already happy that you can tell me if there's anything you don't like." Lu Jin'an led him to the dormitory building.
It should be the time for the training to end and for the soldiers to rest, and many soldiers have already come this way.
There were relatively few people coming from the dormitory building where Lu Jin'an and his group were, but many people watched from a distance after seeing Lu Jin'an and the people he was leading.
It was clearly out of curiosity about Gu Zhilin.
Disliking being watched, Gu Zhilin pushed Lu Jin'an, saying, "Let's go quickly."
Lu Jin'an nodded, gave the onlookers a warning glance, and then led Gu Zhilin up.
They're on the third floor, a nice floor.
Gu Zhilin saw Lu Jin'an lead him to a room and stop in front of it. After pushing open the door, Gu Zhilin found that the space inside looked larger than it appeared from the outside.
The facilities are complete; it doesn't feel like a military dormitory, but more like a small home.
It's no exaggeration to say that this room is much better than the one I stayed in in the downtown area.
Moreover, judging from the room's configuration, this should be a single room.
From Gu Zhilin's 21st-century perspective, military dormitories should be collective dormitories.
"Are all military dormitories single rooms now?" he asked the man next to him curiously.
Lu Jin'an shook his head: "Normally it's a six-person room, Alhpa and Oemga are separate."
"Then I..."
"Because you are my partner, you can have the same privilege of a single room as me. All officers of the rank of general and above are entitled to a single room."
Gu Zhilin's eyes widened: "A general, just like Jiang Jiyang?"
Lu Jin'an nodded.
“But I’m just an ordinary soldier.” Gu Zhilin asked, puzzled.
“You’re not an ordinary soldier,” Lu Jin’an explained. “Anyone who can pilot a warship is not an ordinary soldier; they’re at least a one-star general. You could say that anyone who passes the warship piloting test is a general. Jiang Jiyang and Zeng Yan are five-star generals.”
Gu Zhilin nodded thoughtfully: "So the other soldiers are all infantry?"
“Infantry?” Lu Jin’an smiled. “That’s a fair assessment. They’re mainly on Earth and in the lunar fortress. If the Martians invade, that’ll be their battlefield, while we’ll primarily be responsible for the space battlefield.”
"To prevent Martians from ever reaching Earth and the Moon."
“When necessary, they will also board warships and follow us to other places to fight.”
Lu Jin'an simply opened the AI to show Gu Zhilin: "Currently, our main bases are Earth and the lunar fortress, but some time ago, we started excavating Planet 1. This is also the duty of soldiers. If the excavation of Planet 1 goes smoothly, it will become our second fortress."
Now Gu Zhilin truly understood: "I understand, but... can I really become a warship pilot directly?"
"Don't worry, you're a natural fire control expert," Lu Jin'an reassured her.
Having received Lu Jin'an's affirmation, Gu Zhilin felt much better.
Then I heard him say, "I live right next door to you. You can always come to me if you need anything. I will be in charge of your training from now on."
Gu Zhilin subconsciously glanced to the side, then suddenly realized that he couldn't see anything in the room, and felt that his action was incredibly stupid.
"Our great Gu is here?" Just as he was feeling embarrassed, Jiang Jiyang's annoying voice came from the doorway.
Gu Zhilin turned around and looked, his brows furrowed: "What the hell is this Gu the Great God?"
Zeng Yan was right behind him. As soon as they entered the room, she burst into laughter: "Ever since you showed off that ability to find things last time, he's been calling you a god."
Gu Zhilin's face darkened as he glared at Jiang Jiyang: "I advise you not to call me that anymore."
"Why?" Jiang Jiyang asked, puzzled, realizing that this was a respectful way of addressing him.
"Because I don't like it." Gu Zhilin said curtly, "If you call me again, I'll set up a formation to harm you and make you suffer."
Jiang Jiyang had originally intended to praise the other party, but ended up being scolded and felt somewhat wronged. However, he was more curious: "Can you Taoists use formations to harm people?"
