"He just arrived today and passed the assessment. His results were good, so I brought him here for dinner."
Jiang Qiyue looked at Long Yuxue with considerable surprise.
Good grades?
Long Yuxue made this special comment, which clearly shows that even she found the newcomer's achievements incredible.
Jiang Qiyue carefully examined Xu Yuan.
Her beautiful big eyes blinked and sparkled.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Qiyue realized that Xu Yuan was indeed handsome.
Xu Yuan was handsome, unlike Tang Wulin who was more delicate and pretty. Xu Yuan was handsome with a strong masculine air. His sharp features and the imposing presence of his powerful aura made him look suffocating.
All these factors combined will always make people subconsciously feel ashamed of self-harm.
Jiang Qiyue observed Xu Yuan, then looked at Long Yuxue.
"You're only doing this because you're being kind. Is this another low-interest loan? Let me tell you, you're breaking the rules. Everyone else is borrowing at 100% monthly interest, but you're only borrowing at 30%. It's only because you're doing this that others would have stopped doing it."
Jiang Qiyue kindly reminded Long Yuxue.
Xu Yuan's lips twitched.
That interest rate is really high.
The normal monthly interest rate here is 100%, but Long Yuxue only charges 10% to outsiders, which can be considered quite benevolent.
The key point is that Long Yuxue told others it was 30%, which clearly shows that she was worried that a low interest rate of 10% was too exaggerated and might cause public outrage.
“It’s not easy being a newbie, so let’s help out if we can,” Long Yuxue said helplessly. “After all, who didn’t start as a newbie first?”
She stepped forward and took Jiang Qiyue's arm, revealing a mysterious expression.
“But this time is different. I didn’t lend money to Xu Yuan.”
"Your name is Xu Yuan." Jiang Qiyue looked at Xu Yuan, her big eyes filled with curiosity: "Tell me the truth, was the interest rate Yu Xue lent you lower than thirty percent?"
As a friend, this was the first thing she thought of.
"No." Xu Yuan certainly didn't want to cause trouble for Long Yuxue.
"Xu Yuan is a blacksmith with excellent forging skills. I've been paying for his work these past few days. He'll forge things for me when he has time."
Jiang Qiyue looked puzzled.
forging?
Surely a blacksmith wouldn't be so over-the-top as to make you care this much?
A simple loan, especially a low-interest loan, is enough to gain his favor. When I go to him with my merits for normal forging, he will definitely help me, right?
"By the way, you said his grades were good, what were they?"
"It needs to be evaluated by the higher authorities; I can't give a score," Long Yuxue said.
Jiang Qiyue was surprised: "That powerful?"
"It's more powerful than you think," Long Yuxue said.
"I do not believe!"
This wasn't said by Jiang Qiyue.
Instead, it was a loud male voice.
The three turned around, and Xu Yuan saw a tall male officer who looked somewhat like Jiang Qiyue. He was burly, a little shorter than Xu Yuan, but very strong, with exaggeratedly muscular arms.
Xu Yuan is about 1.9 meters tall, while this male officer is estimated to be about 1.85 meters tall.
"Brother," Jiang Qiyue called out, taking the initiative to hug the male officer's arm, acting coquettishly.
As her younger sister, Jiang Qiyue understood her older brother well, and she used this method to prevent him from retaliating.
Unfortunately, Jiang Wuyue heard everything.
Not only did they reward him with a meal for his meritorious service, but they also kept praising his achievements.
Jiang Wuyue was unconvinced and stared intently at Long Yuxue.
"Yuxue, you praise him so much, so according to your estimation, what rank can he reach? Can he reach the rank of private first class?"
Long Yuxue shook her head and said, "More than that, at least a lieutenant."
From the perspective of a normal soldier, this is at least the initial rank of second lieutenant.
"Moreover, his situation is special. He is a researcher, and I think his initial military rank was at least major."
"impossible!"
Jiang Wuyue made an exaggerated expression.
How can it be?
The lieutenant meant that success is achievable?
It's important to know that once you reach the rank of second lieutenant, you're already an officer, and you have considerable power wherever you go.
In the Blood God Legion, only lieutenants have a few days off a month to leave the legion and spend time with their families.
Jiang Wuyue adopted an attitude of absolute impossibility.
However, Long Yuxue ignored him completely and didn't want to talk to him. She turned around and continued to queue.
Jiang Wuyue was somewhat persistent, but he didn't dare to bother Long Yuxue, so he came to Xu Yuan and crossed his arms.
He didn't try to intimidate Xu Yuan, but instead said to him with a defiant attitude, "I don't believe you. What are you best at? I want to have a competition with you."
Long Yuxue had her back to the two of them, and her expression was somewhat strange.
Competition?
If it were anyone else, Long Yuxue might have been worried, but Xu Yuan...
"What are you good at?" Xu Yuan shook his head, unable to think of an answer: "I seem to be good at a little bit of everything."
"Arrogant!" Jiang Wuyue's eyes widened, feeling that this recruit was incredibly arrogant.
Good at everything?
Do you mean you're better than me in every aspect?
Jiang Wuyue just proposed the competition so that Xu Yuan could choose someone he felt could beat him.
Xu Yuan's answer that he's good at everything means that he thinks he can beat Jiang Wuyue in every way.
Is this still available?
Where else can you find recruits this arrogant?
Even when Long Yuxue said that Xu Yuan's initial military rank might reach an astonishing major, Jiang Wuyue pretended not to hear it.
How can it be?
"I wonder what this Lieutenant Colonel Jiang is best at?" Xu Yuan asked Jiang Wuyue, taking the initiative.
Jiang Wuyue is a lieutenant colonel, one rank higher than Long Yuxue.
“My name is Jiang Wuyue. You don’t need to call me Lieutenant Colonel here in the canteen,” Jiang Wuyue said, waving his hand.
It had nothing to do with the occasion; the main issue was that Jiang Wuyue felt that if Xu Yuan addressed him by his official title at this moment, it would make it seem as if Jiang Wuyue, relying on his military rank, was bullying someone and forcing them to compete with him.
"Kid, I must say you've got guts. My specialty is strength. What, you want to challenge me to a strength contest?"
Xu Yuan showed a strange expression.
"Sorry, when did I say I wanted to have a match with you? I just answered your question, so I was just asking what you're good at."
Jiang Wuyue's face stiffened.
Long Yuxue turned her head at this moment.
She looked slightly intrigued.
“Xu Yuan, you can have a match with him. This guy is from the melee battalion. Don’t you want to get in touch with the abyssal creatures as soon as possible? You’ll definitely have to deal with them in the future. Why not have a match with him now? The bet is that if he loses, he’ll go to the abyssal passage with you.”

"Abyss passage!?"
Jiang Wuyue and Jiang Qiyue's expressions changed drastically.
Not only the brother and sister, but also the officers and soldiers watching the commotion all showed expressions of shock.
Jiang Wuyue looked at Long Yuxue.
"Yuxue, what's wrong with you today? You're usually very conservative and have very strict requirements for new recruits going to the passage. What's wrong with you today?"
Clearly, Jiang Wuyue had already sensed something was wrong from Long Yuxue's words.
Could this Xu Yuan really have some extraordinary abilities?
However, even though she sensed something was amiss, Jiang Wuyue was unwilling to cower in front of Long Yuxue.
“Kid, just do as Yu Xue said. As long as you complete all the procedures to enter the passage, I can accompany you to the Abyss Passage. But we have to agree that it must be within our capabilities and we can’t go too deep.” Jiang Wuyue said, “However, if I win, I don’t need you to do anything. You just have to wash my clothes for three months.”
