Chen Jing rubbed his eyes. His home was gone, so Jasmine and Brunhilde volunteered to keep watch. Although the temperature was well controlled, Fenrir was lying on the quilt, which made Chen Jing sweat. Although she didn't say it, her weak look wrapped in a blanket was also pitiful. If Chen Jing hadn't witnessed her job hunting and racing with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have thought that this girl who looked so painful would be so... cheerful.
Looking towards the door, Brunel and Jasmine were on the left and right like two door gods. They looked like they would not be tired even if they came three or four days earlier. But when Chen Jing lowered his gaze, he saw Fenrir lying on the quilt in a very artistic posture. The movements she made were impossible for a human to make, but she felt very comfortable.
"Because he's not human at all." He made up an excuse. Chen Jing then realized what had happened - Fenrir had pinned him down, and now he couldn't move.
Although Jasmine and Brunel could help him, it would be embarrassing for him.
Chen Jing was a little discouraged. He was too weak compared to his men, which resulted in him being pinned down by Fenrir and unable to even move.
"Um...is Chen Jing here?" A girl's voice came from the door.
Borenhill, who had been gazing blankly, raised his head and looked at the girl: "What's the matter? The Admiral is resting."
Chen Jing immediately complained: "But it feels like I'm being kidnapped."
"That's your own fault. Do you know how heavy Fenrir's sister is? She is not light. If she really wants to stay in bed, few gods can pull her out." Brenhill explained.
Chen Jing looked desperate: "I know! Help me quickly."
Brunel came over, pulled the sleeping Fenrir away, and then turned away.
"...Am I that ugly?" Although it was okay to joke, Chen Jing still chose to put on his clothes immediately.
A head popped in, it was a girl in uniform.
Chen Jing searched his memory. He didn't recognize him, but he should be an acquaintance of his original self. "Have you eaten?"
"I ate it, and you?"
"without."
Chen Jing asked, "Xiaofang?"
"Who is it?"
"He Ling?"
"Um?"
"Villas?"
"What do you want me to do?"
Chen Jing sighed, finally figuring it out.
Veras was stunned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Jing couldn't claim to have been possessed or anything like that. After all, this world had many cases of connectors being replaced by their connected objects, so this aspect was strictly regulated. If he wasn't careful, he'd be in jail for the rest of his life.
It's no use saying it's amnesia. He will most likely be taken for examination and treatment. Becoming a fool will be the least of his worries.
"That's really frustrating." Chen Jing looked at the girl in front of him. Knowing her name would make things easier. He asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Um... don't take the beating I gave you last time to heart. I just wanted to teach you a lesson, that's all. I didn't expect it to... but I brought an apology gift, this." The wooden box on her back was stuffed into Chen Jing's hands. "This was given to me by my grandfather. I have a better one, but I can't use it, so I'm giving it to you."
Chen Jing couldn't help but jokingly said, "So I'm a garbage dump?"
Vilas said seriously, "Because the next time we meet will be for the performance review in six months, so please take care of yourself."
"Thank you, but how much do you know about land reclamation?" Chen Jing asked.
Willas nodded. "As for pioneering, I know a bit. Generally speaking, we're completely clueless about what's happening outside of the main human-controlled zone. To establish a strategic buffer zone, the Crisis Committee has proposed a pioneering admiral system. Anyone who signs up for this program immediately gains all the rights and titles of a chief officer, then is sent outside the human-controlled zone with an assistant ship. They say participation is very low. This mission is a suicidal one from every perspective, with no reward. Even a fool wouldn't go."
"It seems that I am the creature that is even dumber than a fool." Chen Jing laughed at himself.
"...Take care. I'm working in the core area. If you need any help, just let me know."
"Thanks."
After much discussion, he finally solved the various problems left by his original body, although in the end he did not see the most common person in the original body's diary, Wang Mingke.
He should be going to take up his post.
Calculating the time, Chen Jing knew that it was time for him to set off, but no matter what, he didn't want to go directly to the human-controlled area and would have to transfer in the middle, so he decided to at least see his nephew.
He boarded the tube train again and headed directly to the outer harbor. Because he had gotten up late, he had already finished moving all his things.
As the group got out of the car, Chen Jing spotted four figures from afar. As he got closer, he saw Eliza, an armed assault ship, a Noki-class frigate, and an RT5.
RT5 is a vibrant girl with long black hair, well… a very old 18-year-old beautiful girl.
"Instructor, are you here to see me off?"
"No." Eliza shook her head and said, "I'm going with you because it's an order. Something might get out of control." Sending you out because of that? Chen Jing was a little confused. An omnic that could reach Jasmine's level was rare, and someone like Eliza, who practically mastered the art of swordsmanship, was even rarer.
But Chen Jing also understood that her strength had probably shrunk. In this era, at least in the human-controlled areas, it was generally peaceful.
"Humans are always content with the status quo. When things get comfortable, they're unwilling to make progress. They'd rather be in chaos and fighting than invest resources in developing new lands. Defending their country is a distant thought for ordinary people, yet so many have shed their blood and lives for it, yet there are also those who mock them. Some with short memories have already forgotten just how terrifying Li He was."
"When they once again crossed the wall, humans once again remembered the fear of being dominated by Lich."
Chen Jing smiled: "What about you?" RT5 didn't have any idea.
The group walked towards the outer harbor, a portal visible in the distance. Could this be considered a departure? That's what Chen Jing thought.
…
Imperial officer list (only officers are human): non-commissioned officer (first to fourth ranks descending in order, can hold most unimportant positions, equipped with one ship), lieutenant (first to fourth ranks descending in order, can serve as local garrison officers and command small groups of troops.), colonel (reserve, deputy, and main service ranks, ascending in order, can serve as admiral, most positions.), general (parade general, guard general, general, imperial general, can only command large-scale troops or major regional garrison troops.) There is also an additional level, the marshal, who must be a connector of level six or above and can only have command authority in wartime. During wartime, he is responsible for all military affairs and has almost absolute power for a short period of time (loosely supervised by the committee).
