There were quite a lot of people in the registration hall. Chen Dabing noticed that the people here were divided into two groups based on their clothing. One group wore uniform clothes with a leaf embroidered on the chest. They were members of the Qiluo Corps. The other group wore clothes of various colors. They were outsiders like him. However, since they came here, they might all wear leaf clothes.
"Want to join the Qiluo Corps? Our treatment here is really good. In addition to the fixed salary, you will be given 100 spirit stones for every enemy you kill, and you can also accumulate military merit points."
There are several people wearing leaf costumes who are responsible for registration and promotion, but they may not be successful.
"I've been with three regiments. To be honest, the treatment here isn't the best. The salary of the Demon Feather Regiment is twelve spirit stones."
"Fellow Daoist, you can't just look at the military pay. How do we mercenaries earn more spirit stones? We can only barely survive by relying on military pay. We can only make a fortune by harvesting heads and spoils on the battlefield."
"But the Demon Feather Corps' head reward is 120 spirit stones, which is higher than yours."
"Yes, the Moyu Corps' pay and rewards are higher, but our Qiling Corps is stronger and more likely to win battles. Let me tell you a cruel reality: once on the battlefield, only those who win can survive. Only by surviving can you receive pay and share the spoils. Otherwise, you will become the enemy's spoils."
"Well... let me think about it again!"
…
At this time, Chen Dabing took out a recruitment brochure of the Qiluo Corps and began to read it carefully. The content on it detailed all the recruitment matters.
First, they are divided into privates first class, privates second class, and privates third class according to their cultivation level, corresponding to the early, middle, and late stages of Qi training. The higher level is the officer lieutenant, who must be at the foundation-building stage or above.
Then there is the military pay. A first-class soldier gets ten spirit stones per month, a second-class soldier gets double that to twenty spirit stones, a third-class soldier gets fifty spirit stones, and officers and above get a minimum of two hundred spirit stones.
There are also rewards for military merits. Killing an enemy will earn you 100 spirit stones. This is also based on the enemy's level. The higher the level, the higher the reward. After the victory, you can clean up the spoils and divide them equally according to the level.
Chen Dabing was now a small wealthy man, so of course he looked down upon these spirit stone rewards. The Fairy Qiling, whom he followed, also wrote a small line of words: After accumulating 10,000 points of military merit, he would be automatically promoted to the deputy commander of the Qiling Corps and become the Fairy Qiling's dual cultivation partner.
This reward is very tempting! It's like getting both money and a woman. Not only can you win the beauty, but you can also become the highest authority in the mercenary group.
He asked a leaf-shaped recruiter, "What does Fairy Qiling look like?"
The man said, "After flipping through the recruitment brochure, there is a portrait of the regiment commander."
Chen Dabing flipped through the brochure and saw a portrait of a beauty who was almost as beautiful as the Fairy Nishang. He immediately said, "I sign up to join the Qiling Corps."
Ye Zi pretended to be very happy, thinking that there was a performance task, and said, "Great, I'll help you fill out the information. Name: Chen Dadan, Private First Class, Appearance: Average..."
After filling it out, Nan Huanuo said in a gruff voice, "I'm signing up too."
Ye Zi pretended to be even happier and continued filling out the information: "Name: Nan Huanuo, Private, Third Class, Handsome..."
The two of them took the form to report to the Ministry of War. Chen Dabing said indignantly, "I absolutely disagree with his comments. What do you mean by 'plain appearance'? I'm obviously very handsome."
Nan Huanuo chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, my husband is the most handsome."
Chen Dabao looked at her and said, "Even after you've disguised yourself like this, he can still see that you are beautiful. He must have some taste."
Nan Huanuo puffed out his chest and said, "Of course. It's a pity that he doesn't know that I have a great figure too."
Chen Dabing suddenly looked forward and said, "Don't be so complacent, that man is more handsome than you."
Nan Huanuo followed his gaze and immediately said, "That can't be a man. He must be a woman disguised as a man like me."
Chen Dabao said, "He went to the Ministry of War like us. Could he also be a new recruit?"
As it turned out, they guessed it right. They took the form and went to the Ministry of War to report together.
"Private First Class Chen Dadan, Private Third Class Nan Huanuo, and Private Second Class Dongfang Yue are staying in the same dormitory. Here are the dormitory access cards. Go and familiarize yourself with the dormitory first and change into your regiment uniforms."
The leaf-shaped officer from the Ministry of War collected the forms from the three people and gave each of them a set of clothes, which were the leaf-shaped military uniforms of the Qiling Corps. He then took out a card covered with talismans, which was the access card.
The man who was more handsome than Nan Huanuo was called Dongfang Yue. He said, "Sir, I'm not with them. Can I have a separate dormitory?"
Ye Zi pretended to glance at him and said, "Even if we're not together, we'll just have to make do. Privates are not eligible to apply for their own dormitories."
Dongfang Yue didn't argue anymore, took the access card and left.
Nan Huanuo was very dissatisfied and said, "You are so rude. I am a private, and the access card should be given to me."
Chen Dabing smiled faintly, pulled her to follow behind Dongfang Yue, and whispered, "Do you think he is a woman disguised as a man? Not only is he incredibly beautiful, but he also has a soft voice and a slim figure."
Dongfang Yue seemed to have heard something, and she turned around and glared at him, with a look of coquettishness from a beautiful woman.
Chen Dabing shrugged and continued, "The only thing that makes me unsure is the flat chest. The secret technique I know is not something that everyone can do."
Nan Huanuo said: "He doesn't know any secret techniques, but he can wrap his chest. He must be a woman disguised as a man."
Chen Dabao said, "That's better. Otherwise, such a handsome man might seduce my little Nuonuo away."
Nan Huanuo snorted and said, "I don't like effeminate men. Men like you are the best. They are sunny and handsome."
Their dormitory was in Building A, and mercenaries wearing leaf-shaped uniforms kept coming out along the way.
"Hey! Two new rabbits arrived today. They're prettier than women. I hope they can be assigned to my team so I can teach them well."
"Don't talk nonsense. He's a private, I might kill you."
"What's a private? My captain is a lieutenant, can't he control them?"
…
"Room A, Room C, right here." Dongfang Yue took out the access card and swiped it, and the door opened automatically.
Chen Dabing and Nan Huanuo followed him in and found it very simple, with only three wooden beds, no tables, chairs, sofas, and no toilet or bathroom.
Immortal practitioners do not care about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Basically, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain and a place to meditate and practice is enough.
Dongfang Yue did just that. She chose the innermost wooden bed, jumped on it without taking off her shoes, and sat cross-legged in meditation.
Chen Dabing is not like that. Although he is also a cultivator, he still attaches great importance to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Nan Huanuo, the little follower, was well prepared. He took out a bunch of daily necessities from his storage ring, starting with the tent curtain, which surrounded two-thirds of the space in the dormitory.
Then there are the various appliances, bathtubs, toilets, sofas, tables and chairs, etc. All of these were arranged by Nan Huanuo alone. In short, he tried his best to make his husband live as comfortably as possible.
