When he woke up, it was already the next day.
Hu Yiming, hearing that Su Wen had woken up, came over and said, "Nephew, your alcohol tolerance is really poor. And it’s not very nice of you to drink a whole bottle by yourself without calling Uncle. Let’s go and have another round later."
Su Wen, hearing this, looked terrified, "Uncle, please let me off! Why don’t you go and trick someone else?"
Hu Yiming’s face turned slightly red, as if he knew his drinking character wasn’t that good.
"Alright, Uncle won’t make it hard for you," Hu Yiming finally showed mercy, but he wasn’t about to let Su Wen off easily. "Nephew, you’re now a special forces instructor under me. Since you have this position, you should take some responsibility..."
"Uncle, I’m just a nominal position, right?" Su Wen smiled bitterly; he didn’t want to be tied down in the military by Hu Yiming.
"What do you mean a nominal position? Uncle will still give you an allowance. You take Uncle’s money and don’t want to put in the effort? How can that be?" Hu Yiming looked very reasonable.
"Uncle, if that’s the case, you don’t have to give me any allowance. I can even give you money. Just let me off!" Su Wen could only smile bitterly. He finally understood why Tang Long didn’t want to join the military; he didn’t want to be entangled by Hu Yiming.
Hu Yiming shook his head, "We are honest people. We take money to do the job, and it’s a big matter for the country and the people. How can we treat it so lightly?"
Su Wen really wanted to say, "It’s you who’s treating it lightly!"
Hu Yiming, seeing that Su Wen wasn’t speaking, smiled slyly, "Alright, nephew. Uncle doesn’t want to burden you too much. Just help Uncle train a special forces team of a hundred people. Uncle can then help you apply for a military rank. What do you think?"
"Uncle, you might as well just kill me!" Su Wen looked dejected, "If I have the energy to train a hundred people, I might as well stay in the military directly."
"Then eighty people?" Hu Yiming thought for a moment.
Su Wen shook his head.
"Seventy... or sixty, no less..."
"Uncle, at most twelve people, the Flying Team." Su Wen knew he couldn’t avoid it, so he set his own terms, "I can help you train the Flying Team, but that’s it."
"The Flying Team is already the strongest team in our 11th training base. Why do they need your training?" Hu Yiming shook his head. He wanted Su Wen to train the newly joined special forces, not the already capable ones.
"Uncle, apart from my personal combat skills, what do you think I can train them in?" Su Wen looked at Hu Yiming, "If you give me the Flying Team, I can help you raise their combat level to a new level, making each of them a top soldier and the Flying Team the strongest in the country. How about that?"
"Top soldiers, the strongest in the country?" Hu Yiming was surprised.
"Let’s stick to the data. If you give them to me for a year, I guarantee their strength will reach 800kg, speed will exceed 12m/s, and agility will score over 80. Can you agree to that?" Su Wen made a promise, the result of his deep consideration.
"If you can do that, not just one year, even three years is fine." Hu Yiming was very excited.
"Three years?" Su Wen couldn’t help but be pleased, "This is what Uncle Hu said himself. I’ll give you the Flying Team back in three years. Uncle Hu, to ensure the training goes smoothly, the Flying Team will have to listen to me for these three years."
Hu Yiming felt something was off.
"Uncle Hu, do you agree or not?" Su Wen didn’t want to give Hu Yiming a chance to back out.
"As long as you can do it, what can Uncle Hu not agree to?" Hu Yiming thought this was an incredibly difficult training plan. If Su Wen could really do it, he wouldn’t be at a loss.
In the future, Hu Yiming would realize how naive he was.
"Alright, let’s sign a contract." Su Wen, fearing Hu Yiming would renege later, hastily wrote an agreement, "Uncle Hu, sign it! As long as you sign, in three years, you’ll have a super-strong team of top soldiers."
Hu Yiming, who had never experienced such a situation, signed his name decisively.
Su Wen, holding the contract, was very excited.
Getting a special forces team without spending any money was a great deal. Although it was only for three years, that time was enough to lay a solid foundation in the secular world. Hu Yiming thought he was getting the better deal, but in reality, Su Wen was the one who benefited more. Su Wen had everything he needed except for people.
"Uncle Hu, it’s settled then." Su Wen carefully put away the contract, "I’ll take the Flying Team back to Jiangning tomorrow. In three years, they’ll be back in your hands, and I guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised."
Hu Yiming, having signed the contract, naturally had nothing to say.
In the afternoon.
Hu Yiming informed the Flying Team of the situation. Upon hearing they would be following Su Wen, the twelve members were all extremely excited.
In their view, Su Wen was wealthy, and following him meant they wouldn’t lack money.
"Alright, get to know each other. By the way, there are plenty of wild game in the mountains behind us. Before we leave, you can take them for a walk. Bring back a couple of mountain chickens for dinner, but don’t touch any other animals," Hu Yiming said.
"Alright, Uncle Hu," Su Wen replied.
After Hu Yiming left, the twelve members looked at Su Wen with even more enthusiasm.
"For the next three years, you must follow all my orders, understood?" Su Wen asked loudly.
"Understood!" The twelve members responded loudly.
"Instructor, will we have money following you?" Zhou Fei asked quietly.
"Yes, more than you can count," Su Wen smiled mysteriously, "Alright, Uncle Hu suggested we go for a walk in the mountains. I’ve actually wanted to go for a while. Let’s go now."
The group entered the mountains.
Su Wen had indeed wanted to go to the mountains for a long time. He believed that in such a remote area, there would definitely be some rare treasures. Besides the mountains, Su Wen also wanted to go to the sea, which was also a place rich in treasures.
In the mountains, the vegetation was dense.
Su Wen saw many animals, some of which were protected by the state. Since the side mission required not to harm animals, Su Wen could only look. However, Xiao Tian told Su Wen that as long as he didn’t torture the animals, accidental or necessary killings would be acceptable.
After entering ten miles deep,
Su Wen saw many light points on the Great Heavenly Dao Recycling System, with numerous treasures appearing, including sixteen types of rare treasures, which was far more than what he could find in Jiangning. He browsed through the sixteen treasures, twelve of which were unknown stones, and four were medicinal herbs. He didn’t dare to recycle them immediately. After advancing another ten miles, Su Wen saw even more treasures.
After careful consideration,
He finally recycled two items.
A three-leafed lingzhi mushroom!
A two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng!
Su Wen slowed down and looked ahead, where a slope appeared.
"Let’s rest a bit over there," Su Wen pointed.
Just as they were about to go, hundreds of light points appeared in front of Su Wen, all concentrated on the slope ahead.
Su Wen’s face changed, "We’ve found a treasure trove."
