Chapter 515 Afternoon on May 15th

Around noon on May 15th, a military transport plane slowly landed at a military base in Longgan Province.

Jiang Xiao and Er Wei followed the soldiers down the ramp. Under the blazing sun, a squad of soldiers stood at attention, welcoming the warriors home.

Jiang Xiao walked at the back of the line. Thankfully, the welcoming ceremony wasn't too formal; it seemed representatives from various units were there to pick people up.

And Jiang Xiao spotted a familiar figure: Feng Yi.

Jiang Xiao had only met this soldier once, but he had made a lasting impression.

This soldier had barged into the locker room after the National High School League, attempting to recruit Jiang Xiao into the Northwest Star Warrior University. This soldier had also personally handed Jiang Xiao the FMVP award for the national competition.

The star bead of the Void Misfortune Shadow that Jiang Xiao possessed had been given to him by this man.

Misfortune Shadow's Ruins and Space-Time Rift, two exceptionally precious spatial star techniques—these were the main reasons for Jiang Xiao's soaring combat power. Jiang Xiao's ability to thrive on the battlefield owed much to Space-Time Rift, and he really needed to thank the man properly.

As expected, the tall, stern-faced officer Feng Yi was there to pick up Jiang Xiao and Er Wei.

In the past, Jiang Xiao had rejected Feng Yi's invitation to join the army, as well as the offer to be specially recruited into Northwest Star Warrior University.

Jiang Xiao had made it clear that he wanted to go to school and had no immediate plans to join the army, and that his target was Capital Star Warrior University.

On the one hand, Han Jiangxue's goal was Capital Star Warrior University, and on the other hand, Jiang Xiao was afraid of being snatched away. He had already promised Er Wei that he would join her Wei Yu squad, and then, right after the national competition, he would be dragged away by the Northwest Army. What kind of nonsense was that?

A man must keep his word!

Then, well... Er Wei was directly transferred from the Northern Night Watch Army to the Northwest Night Watch Army, and Jiang Xiao naturally became a member of the Northwest Night Watch Army's Zhu Guang squad.

Everything was arranged perfectly...

General Feng Yi didn't say much. He and a soldier led the two members of the Wei Yu squad into a military vehicle, which drove away from the military base.

No one spoke in the vehicle. The ride was silent the whole way, which really stifled Jiang Xiao. He had just leaned forward, trying to catch up with Officer Feng Yi, when Er Wei pushed him back into his seat...

Wow, that was annoying.

After a drive of more than an hour, the military vehicle passed through layers of checkpoints and entered another military camp. Feng Yi arranged for the two of them to stay in a soldier dormitory building, saying, "Rest today, await orders tomorrow," and then left.

It was more accurate to say that this was a half-military, half-civilian town, rather than a military camp. The layout was quite interesting.

The camp area was, of course, completely closed off, but just a few blocks away from the camp area was the residential area for the people.

This was Jiang Xiao's first time in Longgan Province, and he really wanted to experience the local culinary specialties, or at least stroll around the streets and broaden his horizons.

But the dormitory they were assigned had doors facing each other. With Er Wei's strength, she would be able to hear Jiang Xiao trying to do anything sneaky.

Of course, if Jiang Xiao really wanted to leave, no one could stop him, since he had Space-Time Rift. But Jiang Xiao didn't plan to court death in this military camp...

He also shouldn't open Misfortune Shadow's Ruins; it was easy for things to go wrong. Who knew what kind of powerful figures were hidden in this closed-off camp? It wouldn't be worth it to cause trouble just because of his cravings.

Therefore...

Therefore, after Jiang Xiao finished washing up in the public bathroom, he went back to his dormitory and waited for a while. When he heard a sound from the opposite dormitory, Jiang Xiao opened his door and walked over.

Women were such a pain. They took too long to shower. This area should be considered the reception area of the dormitory, and the conditions were different from the regular soldiers' living conditions. Although Jiang Xiao went to the public bathroom, Er Wei's room had a private bathroom.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Jiang Xiao knocked on the door.

After a while, Er Wei opened the door, holding a towel in one hand and rubbing her wet hair. She was wearing a camouflage T-shirt and slippers, and looked down at Jiang Xiao: "What?"

Jiang Xiao whispered, "Want to go for a walk in the streets?"

Er Wei said faintly, "Stand by at any time."

Jiang Xiao leaned against the door frame with one hand and said, "Rest today, await orders tomorrow. Why are you listening to your superior's orders so obediently?"

Er Wei frowned slightly, obviously not wanting to leave the military camp.

Jiang Xiao quickly said, "There's nothing but Jincheng Lamian back home. It's not easy to come here, we have to taste what the authentic stuff tastes like."

Er Wei remained unmoved, took a step back, and reached out to close the door.

Jiang Xiao quickly held the door with one hand and said, "There should be a lot of different ways to cook beef and mutton here, don't you want to try them?"

Er Wei looked at Jiang Xiao impatiently, and used force on her hand, closing the door inch by inch.

Jiang Xiao tried hard to prop up the door, but unfortunately, he was no match for her in terms of strength. He quickly said, "Don't you want to try the grilled fish here?"

The slowly closing door stopped, leaving a crack.

Jiang Xiao: "..."

After a long while, Er Wei said, "We only have military uniforms."

That was a problem...

Jiang Xiao's ink-wash style clothes were all in the Misfortune Shadow's Ruins, and he couldn't take them out.

Jiang Xiao's mind raced, and he said, "Wait, I'll go negotiate with my comrades."

"I'll go." Er Wei closed the door, changed her clothes, and walked down the dormitory building.

He didn't know who she went to talk to. She told Jiang Xiao to stay in the room obediently. Jiang Xiao didn't dare say anything, and didn't dare ask...

Half an hour later, a man and a woman wearing black shorts and black short sleeves stood in front of a shop, looking up at the signboard.

Jiang Xiao: "I've been looking for half a day in this town, why can't I find Jincheng Lamian?"

Next to him, an old man who passed by heard this and said with a smile as he walked, "Lamian is what outsiders call it. Locals call it 'beef noodles.' This Lao Ma's is pretty good."

"Oh, thank you." Jiang Xiao scratched his head and stepped inside.

Jiang Xiao and Er Wei were obviously both carnivores. They each ate a bowl of noodles, but ordered five plates of meat each, so much that Jiang Xiao didn't even miss home...

Er Wei didn't get to eat the grilled fish she was thinking about. The two of them quit while they were ahead and quickly returned to the dormitory.

And when Jiang Xiao returned to the dormitory, he found that someone had been in the dormitory before, and had left a Night Watch camouflage combat uniform and a Night Watch officer's certificate.

Wow!

Jiang Xiao had always considered himself a Night Watchman, and had never intended to violate his verbal agreement with Er Wei. And now, the officer's certificate had come out, so he was officially in the team?

Jiang Xiao picked up his Night Watch officer's certificate,

Looking left and right, was I... a person with a formal identity now?

Now that he had a formal officer's certificate, did that mean he had joined the military? What about his original household registration? Had it been canceled?

Jiang Xiao scratched his head. Could it be that this fight had gotten his household registration wiped out?

Uh... but this officer's certificate looked so good...

Jiang Xiao didn't think it mattered. Anyway, he had made up his mind to join the Night Watch Army. He would never go back on what he had promised Er Wei. This was just a matter of time. Someone had helped him do it, saving Jiang Xiao the trouble of going through the formalities later.

Jiang Xiao looked at the extremely well-made certificate in his hand. It was square and made of black leather. Without opening it, the front was printed with a special "round shield" logo, and this "shield" was modified from the Chinese character "夜" (night).

Black background, silver-white "night" character shield, it really looked better and better.

Somewhat different from the certificates of regular soldiers, this Night Watch officer's certificate was vertically flipped. When the certificate was opened, there was an interlayer inside, which contained a card like an ID card.

The front of the card was a half-length photo of Jiang Xiao. This photo was obviously the registration photo from when Jiang Xiao entered Capital Star Warrior University. It wasn't a Night Watch uniform, but a white shirt, and he was smiling very brightly.

Below the half-length photo were the three large characters "Jiang Xiaopi".

Below the name were the five large characters "Northwest Night Watch Army," and below that were three more characters "Zhu Guang Tuan" (Chasing Light Regiment).

The information only went as far as the Zhu Guang Tuan, without mentioning the team.

The back of the certificate, however, surprised Jiang Xiao slightly. The certificate, which was printed with transparent patterns, had much smaller fonts and more words.

It contained Jiang Xiao's personal information, and the position column was also specific to the Wei Yu squad.

And in the rank below, he was given the rank of lieutenant.

Under normal circumstances, students from Star Warrior Universities in various places would be awarded the rank of lieutenant after graduating with a bachelor's degree and joining the various Star Warrior units in China. But Jiang Xiao was only a freshman, and the date of issue on the certificate was October 2015...

It didn't say which year he joined the military. That data should be in more detailed files and information, which weren't reflected on the Night Watch officer's certificate.

But Jiang Xiao only came to this world in August 2015, and then met Er Wei. So the time shouldn't be too far off.

Of course, since 16 years old was the recognized age of awakening, there were also differences in the age restrictions for Star Warrior soldiers and ordinary soldiers.

If he was a lieutenant two years ago, would Jiang Xiao be a captain by his junior year?

Moreover, this was only calculated according to the number of years. Star Warrior soldiers were very different from regular soldiers, and there were many examples of being promoted to a higher rank regardless of the rules.

A very special phenomenon was that as an extremely high-risk and extremely outstanding profession, the ranks of Star Warrior soldiers were mostly forced to rise by their military positions.

Jiang Xiao always felt that something was wrong. After all, he was still studying at Capital Star Warrior University, but the Night Watch certificate clearly stated that Jiang Xiao had already been employed two years ago...

Jiang Xiao thought about it and thought that it might be based on the time he and Er Wei first met in the snowy field.

There was no such thing as apprenticeship or probation. He came in directly as a Zhu Guang person. He was really breaking the rules all the way.

Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xiao believed that after saving Er Wei in the snowy field, he was directly incorporated into the army by her, and his military career started directly.

Of course, Er Wei couldn't do whatever she wanted. Jiang Xiao's recruitment regardless of the rules was also an achievement he had earned.

Along the way, in large and small competitions, Jiang Xiao had shown his extremely excellent side.

This time, he was ordered to take on a mission in times of crisis, and he quickly saved the situation and directly strangled the female leader of the Dark Temple, which was another great achievement.

All the things that had happened in the past few years had, in turn, supported the recruitment situation when Jiang Xiao and Er Wei first met in the snowy field, and that was why there was now what was called breaking the rules.

Jiang Xiao was very confident. He believed that he was qualified to enjoy such "breaking the rules" treatment.

To be reasonable,

If your Night Watch Army doesn't take action again...

Then the pioneer officer's certificate over there is probably coming soon!
