As dawn broke, Liu Nian's chariot traveled along the rugged mountain road.
After reporting to the military camp, he was not assigned any tasks, so he planned to leave after collecting his gift package.
He wasn't the only one coming to collect the supply pack; five other players were also waiting to do so.
As for how they knew they were players?
Who else could it be but a player dressed in such a flamboyant outfit if not a terracotta warrior?
Judging from the ranks on their chests, there are four privates and one corporal.
They turned to look at Liu Nian, who wore the rank of First Class Sergeant on his chest. The four privates quickly stood up and saluted, while the remaining corporal looked somewhat arrogant. He merely glanced at Liu Nian and snorted.
He nodded to the four people as a greeting, and ignored the other one. There were plenty of people who didn't like him, so who did he rank?
Liu Nian was at the end of the line waiting to receive supplies when the quartermaster came out, ignoring the five people who had been waiting for a long time, and warmly invited Liu Nian to come over first.
After entering the tent, as usual, Hua Zi led the way. Since he had a lot of these things and couldn't use them, he might as well use them to increase the quartermaster's favorability.
The quartermaster's favorability rating indeed increased by another twenty, so I promptly gave him a large officer's supply pack.
Not wanting to expose his location in front of them, Liu Nian had no choice but to leave with a large backpack full of supplies. The other five people outside the tent looked at Liu Nian's bag full of supplies with envious expressions.
"Tch, what's there to show off?" the only corporal muttered unhappily.
The other four privates had been trying to curry favor with him, making him feel very important. Now, this one-eyed guy had stolen his thunder, which made him furious.
What angered him even more was that no matter how valuable the gifts he gave the quartermaster, he would keep a cold face, accept the favors but not give any back, and act all high and mighty.
When this one-eyed man arrived, he was like a completely different person, smiling so eagerly that if he had a tail, he would probably be wagging it wildly.
Despite his anger, when the quartermaster called him, he changed his expression and walked forward with a forced smile.
After entering the tent, he also took out a pack of expensive cigarettes from his pocket and respectfully handed it to the quartermaster, Long Fang: "It's just a small token of my appreciation!"
Long Fang waved his hand, stuffed the cigarette into his pocket, and handed him a regular-sized backpack in a nonchalant manner.
When Gao Hui opened it, he found several dry, compressed mushroom biscuits, which made him somewhat displeased.
He was, after all, a chosen one of heaven, the son of the second-in-command of B City, so what did it mean that he was being harassed at every turn in the mushroom camp?
If his father hadn't told him not to underestimate this quartermaster and to try his best to get along with him, he would have given the fat man a hard time long ago.
What the hell? I'm always the one giving others attitude, when did it become my turn to give others attitude?
He finally ran out of patience and laid his cards on the table: "What do I need to give you in order to get the same supplies as that person from before?"
If it weren't for the fact that the supplies in these supply packs could indeed provide a lot of satiety, and his father hadn't told him to curry favor with the quartermaster, he wouldn't have bothered with all that effort.
There's no other way; we need to feed so many mouths, and we can't do without these supplies. But seeing the quartermaster's face every day, I'll eventually lose my appetite, okay?
Since we've already given up, it's better to just be upfront and make things clear.
That person was valued by his brother, and his ability to withstand the pressure for a minute was not weak, so naturally I thought highly of him. Moreover, the person brought the cigarette without any ulterior motives, so I was happy to give him a little treat.
Who do you think you are, daring to challenge me!
Your petty schemes are beneath your notice!
The quartermaster glanced at him sideways: "You think you're worthy? Get lost!"
Quartermaster Long Fang's favorability -100, current favorability: indifferent.
As soon as the word "roll" was uttered, a gust of wind blew Gao Hui to the ground, forcing him to tumble awkwardly out of the tent.
The four privates stared in astonishment at this prodigy from B City, secretly feeling smug. Serves you right for looking down on people!
It seems they've had their fill of Gao Hui's misfortune, and they're secretly delighted to see him covered in smears.
However, they couldn't show it on their faces, and the four of them were having a very hard time suppressing their emotions.
The two men got up and helped Gao Hui up. One of them was called out and went inside to collect supplies.
After they were all collected, as usual, Gao Hui took them all, leaving nothing behind.
Someone wanted to save some for himself, not for his own sake, but because his younger sister had been starving for too long and had become extremely thin. He wanted to save some for his sister.
However, Gao Hui resolutely refused, saying, "If it weren't for my Gao family, your whole family would have been wiped out long ago. Now is the perfect opportunity for you to repay them."
As Gao Hui walked, he cursed loudly, "A bunch of ungrateful wretches, all they know is how to ask for this and that. If it weren't for the fact that you can receive a salary, you would have been thrown back to the slums long ago. Do you want to go back?"
These four men were private soldiers recruited by the Gao family. By chance, they had killed a small patrol of green-skinned scouts, so they were qualified to enter the military camp.
Old Master Gao told him to take good care of his men, but he didn't listen at all.
He secretly withheld all the food so he could squander it at the casino.
If you increase your satiety level enough, you can sell your food for a good price in the market.
As for why the Gao family has such great power, we have to mention the charisma of Old Master Gao. In peacetime, he was a senior executive in a company. His abilities were not particularly outstanding, but he was especially good at judging people.
He had a keen eye for talent and sought refuge with Lu Dingtian when the Lu family had nothing. In the years that followed, he provided whatever the Lu family asked for, whether it was manpower or supplies. He did whatever the Lu family asked for.
For the unification of B City, two of his three sons died fighting for the Lu family. So when it came time to reward meritorious service, priority was given to those who joined the Lu family, those who had fought in battle, and those who had served the Lu family. These were very important, you understand?
So Gao Hui was right. As long as he wasn't stupid enough to rebel, as long as Lu Dingtian was around, the Gao family wouldn't fall. So being born into the right family is a skill, there's no comparison!
Yan Kuan joined him halfway through his journey; he's nowhere near as good as this guy!
However, his methods of educating his son were rather helpless, yes, helpless.
Of the two sons who died in battle, one was the eldest, whom he had raised with all his heart and soul. The eldest son was very outstanding, but unfortunately, he died young.
In peacetime, as long as his other two sons don't start businesses, his family fortune is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
However, there are no "what ifs." Under the current circumstances, all we can do is try our best to raise our former spoiled second son.
Unfortunately, his personality has already been formed, and it won't be very effective to reverse it in a short period of time.
Watching Liu Nian leave, Gao Hui stared intently at Liu Nian's back.
