Zhou Muyun did not refuse this request: "If the planting is successful and artificial cultivation is possible, you will definitely benefit from it in the future."
"Oh right, what did you just say about the military?" He only then remembered Gu Zhilin's words before he came in.
Gu Zhilin, who had been speaking with a questioning tone, suddenly touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Did the military investigate me?"
"What? General Lu came to find you? You're pretty quick." Zhou Muyun chuckled. "I'm so glad you're a beta. If you were an omega, I reckon he would have marked you on the spot and taken you back to the army."
Gu Zhilin shuddered and subconsciously said, "It can't be that bad, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be unreasonable."
"Unreasonable? Who would reason with the military?" Zhou Muyun seemed to have a natural wariness of the military, or rather, an unfriendly attitude towards them.
“But he said he would follow my wishes,” Gu Zhilin said softly.
Only then did Zhou Muyun straighten up and look at Gu Zhilin, the man she had awakened.
When he first woke up, Zhou Muyun felt that this ancient person was not simple. She never expected that he would be chosen by the End Brain to become Lu Jin'an's partner.
When Lu Jin'an came to me to learn about Gu Zhilin before, she said that she hoped to recruit Gu Zhilin as her partner.
But isn't the "partner" that Alhpa, especially in the military, talks about actually his wife?
He initially refused, but eventually, under pressure from the military, he had no choice but to produce Gu Zhilin's information.
Lu Jin'an had said at the time that he would not report Gu Zhilin's information without Gu Zhilin's permission, and that the military would not interfere in the matter.
He originally thought Lu Jin'an said this to reassure him, but he didn't expect her to say the same thing to Gu Zhilin.
I don't know how much of that is true and how much is false.
"In short, you should still be careful. You are the partner that Endbrain chose for him, and he won't give up so easily."
Gu Zhilin nodded: "He said he wanted me to give him some opportunities to prove himself."
"Ha, the cunning Alhpa." Zhou Muyun scoffed, "You came here today just for this?"
"I guess so. I'd like to know... the disparity in combat strength between the Allied Forces and the Martian visitors, and... does Lu Jin'an really not have his own team?"
...
Zhou Muyun rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless: "You weren't fooled by his face, were you? Let me tell you, don't be fooled. Although he doesn't have his own team, he's very popular no matter which team he joins, so you never have to worry about him being unable to go to the battlefield because of it."
"It's a good thing you're not an omega, otherwise someone as innocent and cute as you would have been lured to his bed long ago."
Gu Zhilin was speechless: "It's not that exaggerated. I just wanted to know more so that it would be easier to reject him."
"It's rare that you can still remain rational and refuse him. Not bad, Gu Zhilin. You're probably the only person on Earth who can refuse Lu Jin'an." Zhou Muyun's mood seemed to have improved at this moment.
But Gu Zhilin didn't think so: "Why do I feel like you would also reject him?"
...
"Why do you only have a mouth?" Zhou Muyun looked at him blankly. "You're right, I would refuse him, but... do you think I have the chance to refuse him?"
"Since you're here, let me draw some blood. I want to see how your radiation sickness is going." Zhou Muyun changed the subject impatiently.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin obediently went to have his blood drawn. He had originally wanted to ask about the current military service policy, but now it seemed better not to.
He might even draw a few more vials of his own blood if he gets angry.
Gu Zhilin obediently followed his assistant to have his blood drawn. Just as he reached the blood drawing area, he saw a tall, elegant man standing opposite him, staring intently at him.
Gu Zhilin felt inexplicably guilty for running into Lu Jin'an here.
His eyes unconsciously drifted in another direction, but Lu Jin'an seemed oblivious to his guilty conscience and walked straight toward him.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Gu Zhilin could only force a laugh: "General Lu, what a coincidence to meet you here!"
Lu Jin'an shook his head: "It's not exactly a coincidence, I came here to find you."
Gu Zhilin stared at the other person with wide eyes, almost wanting to take a step back. The divination clearly showed that the ship had a favorable wind, and with the wind at its back, the ship would sail smoothly with the wind at its back. Heaven would also lend a helping hand, allowing the ship to sail freely and prosper without any effort.
Logically, everything should go smoothly today, and I'll even meet a benefactor. Could this benefactor be Lu Jin'an?
Gu Zhilin was somewhat skeptical and inwardly scoffed at today's divination.
"General Lu, what brings you here?" Unable to shake off the other party, he could only play coy: "I'm sorry, I need to cooperate with the research institute's research and need to have my blood drawn. If General Lu is busy, you can go ahead and do your work."
After saying that, he wanted to walk around the other person and move forward, but he didn't expect Lu Jin'an to move and block his way.
"The research center wants to draw your blood for research?" The man frowned slightly, his expression suggesting he was somewhat displeased.
Gu Zhilin didn't know what was bothering him, but he still politely asked, "Yes, General Lu, is there a problem?"
"I remember you had radiation sickness, and you were treated at the research center, and you paid for each treatment yourself?"
Gu Zhilin nodded, puzzled, and said, "That's right."
"You cooperate with the research center on the research, so don't they pay you a salary?" Lu Jin'an sighed.
"Salary?" Gu Zhilin was stunned. Since waking up, everything he had done was whatever Zhou Muyun told him to do.
Because he had calculated that Zhou Muyun had no ill intentions towards him and would not harm him.
But... he genuinely didn't know that there was a salary for participating in research.
"Actually, besides studying you, an ancient person, the Life Research Center also studies modern people. Some people from the lower city even volunteer to participate in drug trials for a reward. They can get generous compensation. Didn't Dr. Zhou tell you that?" Looking at Gu Zhilin's shocked expression, Lu Jin'an found it somewhat cute for some reason, and couldn't help but smile teasingly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin abandoned his blood test and angrily headed towards Zhou Muyun's office.
The assistant who brought him for the blood test tried to dissuade him, but just as his hand touched the other's shoulder, Gu Zhilin dodged the touch with a speed that was beyond the comprehension of normal people and then sped up.
Lu Jin'an narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this. He could tell that Gu Zhilin's move just now was definitely not accidental. This seemingly thin young man did not seem as harmless as he appeared on the surface.
With a "let's see what happens" attitude, Lu Jin'an followed after him.
