Lu Jin'an was somewhat surprised to be invited, and he raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of eagerness.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhilin's next words were: "To be fair, I suggest you use your sidearm."
Everyone was stunned, because Lu Jin'an, as a high-ranking general, was equipped with a high-level weapon, capable of fighting in space.
What it fired were not ordinary bullets, but laser projectiles.
If this thing were to hit a human, it would either kill or seriously injure them.
"No." Before Lu Jin'an could express his opinion, Wen Yili disagreed: "Brother Zhilin, you are not familiar with the current weapons. General Lu's sidearm must not be able to hit you."
Gu Zhilin said nonchalantly, "As long as he doesn't hit me, that's fine, right?"
"How can you guarantee that? Don't you ancient people have a saying that swords and knives have no eyes? What if someone gets hurt by mistake?"
Lu Jin'an agreed with Wen Yili's view: "Although I am very confident in my marksmanship, but... what if an accident happens?"
Gu Zhilin shook his head: "You should believe me."
However, Shen Guannan, who enjoys thrills, was very interested in Gu Zhilin's suggestion: "The club is equipped with the most professional medical pods currently available. I can guarantee that as long as there are no fatal injuries, Gu Zhilin's life will be safe."
Lu Jin'an gave him a cold glance: "How about I shoot you right now?"
Shen Guannan had no choice but to shut up.
"If you, Lu Jin'an, are unwilling to take action, why not have Shen Guannan come instead?" Gu Zhilin said directly.
Shen Guannan looked eager to try, but dared not speak due to Lu Jin'an's intimidating presence, appearing extremely aggrieved.
Seeing that Gu Zhilin really wanted to try, Lu Jin'an wanted to refuse, but didn't want to disappoint him, so she said, "How about I change my weapon?"
But Gu Zhilin insisted: "I want your service weapon."
The two were now at an impasse.
Finally, Chen Chen spoke up: "Actually, it's not that we can't give it a try. Boss, don't you have a set of bulletproof vests for laser bullets?"
"There's only one of those things in the entire Earth Alliance, and it's just a prototype with a limited number of uses." Shen Guannan was very unhappy about being betrayed by his own people.
But then he looked at Gu Zhilin again. Although he really wanted to see something exciting, Gu Zhilin was indeed to his liking. It seemed that the bulletproof vest was making the most of his safety.
So he waved and summoned his robot butler to his room to retrieve his bulletproof vest.
"Why didn't you bring this out sooner?" Lu Jin'an was not satisfied with this.
Shen Guannan's eyes widened in anger: "You know perfectly well that there's only one of these. I usually don't even wear it myself. I really didn't think of it just now."
Lu Jin'an ignored his explanation: "To express your apology, give the clothes to Gu Zhilin."
Shen Guannan was really angry this time: "Lu Jin'an, what do you mean by using my things to do favors when you're pursuing your wife?"
Everyone was stunned by what you said.
Gu Zhilin was stunned for a while before he asked uncertainly, "What wife are you chasing?"
Lu Jin'an gritted her teeth in anger at Shen Guan'nan: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He just knows I want to find you as my partner and is just joking around."
Actually, Shen Guannan was talking about the determination of endbrain.
Although he didn't initially think that Lu Jin'an would actually become partners with the other person because of the prediction from Endbrain, after meeting Gu Zhilin, he felt that perhaps... it wasn't impossible.
Therefore, he subconsciously defined Lu Jin'an's various behaviors as pursuing a wife.
But after listening to Lu Jin'an's words, he realized that this person was still the same workaholic Lu Jin'an.
He just wanted to find a partner.
After hearing Lu Jin'an's explanation, and considering Boss Shen's usual outspoken manner, Gu Zhilin accepted it.
Wen Yili, however, observed Lu Jin'an for a while to make sure that everything seemed normal before saying to his boss, "Boss Shen, please don't joke around like that in the future."
Shen Guannan was speechless, feeling that his job as a boss had no dignity whatsoever.
He wanted to use his position as the boss to suppress the kid, but then he thought of the kid's older brother.
What if I anger this kid and he goes home and talks badly about me to his brother?
In the end, Boss Shen decided to swallow his anger.
Soon the robot butler brought the bulletproof vest.
After obediently putting on the bulletproof vest, Gu Zhilin didn't forget to say to Shen Guannan, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will definitely return the vest to you intact."
Shen Guannan was delighted to hear this, but then remembered what Lu Jinan had just said: "It's alright, you can have this dress."
Gu Zhilin knew that the other party was saying this because of Lu Jin'an, and he couldn't accept such a valuable gift from the other party, so he shook his head: "No, this is yours, I can't accept it."
“Why can’t you accept it? He’s willing to give it to you,” Lu Jin’an asked from the side.
"I am a Taoist priest, so I know very well that things that don't belong to me will not do me any good even if I get them," Gu Zhilin explained with a smile after getting dressed.
Hearing what the other party said, Lu Jin'an didn't try to persuade them anymore. Instead, he thought about urging the research and development department of the laser bulletproof vest to improve it and achieve mass production as soon as possible.
This way, we can protect Gu Zhilin and our brothers on the battlefield.
Having made all the preparations, Gu Zhilin leaned against his saber and said with a smile to Lu Jin'an, "General Lu, please don't hold back."
Lu Jin'an relaxed considerably once the other party was wearing a bulletproof vest, nodding to indicate, "I never hold back."
So almost the instant he finished speaking, the man drew his gun and fired at Gu Zhilin; such speed was practically cheating.
However, Gu Zhilin was not surprised. On the contrary, it seemed that he had known about the other party's plan all along. A second before the man pulled the trigger, he hid behind his saber and used the saber to block the laser bullet attack.
Everyone was puzzled by his actions, since even the largest metal knife couldn't withstand the attack of a laser bullet.
But... they watched helplessly as Gu Zhilin's saber remained unharmed after being hit by the laser beam.
Gu Zhilin even raised his saber with both hands and attacked Lu Jin'an. Due to the acceleration caused by the saber's own gravity, the attack speed was faster than that of a normal person.
Even Lu Jin'an barely managed to dodge it.
Only then did he realize that he had underestimated his opponent.
So he immediately moved to a relatively cramped spot, a position where it would be difficult to swing the saber, and continued firing at Gu Zhilin.
Gu Zhilin was not surprised. In fact, when the other party hid in the corner, he suddenly pressed his hand to the ground with a hand seal. Lu Jin'an, who was standing steadily on the ground, was surprised to find that the ground seemed unstable and began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.
He reacted quickly; when he noticed the ground shaking, he used the wall to his advantage, flipped himself up, and fired at Gu Zhilin from a high position.
Gu Zhilin remained calm. After deflecting the first laser bullet with his saber, he placed the saber on the ground and used it to propel himself into the air, kicking towards Lu Jin'an.
