Wang Teng walked into General Mokalén's office alone.
He saw a man with half a head of white hair and a dignified face sitting behind the desk, writing furiously. He seemed to be busy.
Even when Wang Teng walked in, he didn't raise his head.
Wang Teng didn't disturb him. He stood to the side and waited for a while, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
This was a rather simple office.
Yes, simple was the most appropriate word to describe it.
Wang Teng had seen the style of many officials of the Qian Empire. They could be described as extravagant, but this was the first time he had seen such a simple office.
It seemed that General Mokalén wasn't the kind of person who loved to enjoy life.
Perhaps only such a person could guard a defense planet for a long time. After all, it wasn't easy to fight against a dark apparition on a defense planet.
More importantly, General Mokalén was a powerful sector lord.
Therefore, Wang Teng didn't dare to neglect him.
After a while, General Mokalén raised his head from the desk and looked at Wang Teng with a trace of scrutiny.
"Baron Wang Teng, born on a backward planet, but you've caused quite a stir on the Emperor Star. I've heard of your name a long time ago," General Mokalén said faintly.
Wang Teng didn't reveal any expression on his face because he didn't know what this general meant. Was he praising or criticizing him?
Therefore, he could only remain silent and wait for his next words.
"The Empire has given you the rank of major," General Mokalén said again.
Wang Teng heard this and was indeed a little surprised.
He was given the rank of major right off the bat!
Was the Empire really so generous?
One had to know that he hadn't made any contributions. If they directly gave him the rank of major, would the others have any objections?
A series of thoughts flashed through Wang Teng's mind.
"If you enter the battlefield as a major, you won't just be a simple soldier." General Mokalén looked at him meaningfully and said slowly, "It seems the Empire has high hopes for you."
Wang Teng couldn't help but imagine a lot of things.
Was someone trying to lift him up and then throw him down?
Or were there people who simply wanted him to temper himself on the battlefield and gain more battle merits?
The former could be the work of the Pyrax family.
The latter was probably the royal family.
"Originally, as your direct superior, I have the right to reject such a request." General Mokalén's face was expressionless as he paused for a moment.
Wang Teng looked at Mokalén and met his gaze calmly.
General Mokalén, as a sector lord, had a majestic aura. Moreover, he was a combat type who had been fighting the dark apparitions on the battlefield for many years. His aura seemed to contain countless souls that were wailing and shrieking.
Monstrous killing intent condensed on his body. His calm eyes suddenly became extremely sharp as though they contained a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
All of his aura locked onto Wang Teng.
However, Wang Teng didn't move at all. He was as steady as a rock. His eyes didn't waver at all because of this.
He couldn't be more familiar with killing intent.
Of course, he wouldn't show fear just because of this aura.
General Mokalén finally showed some surprise on his face. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as though he was very satisfied with Wang Teng's performance.
"You're the first star level to be able to remain calm under my aura."
"The military has records of your performance on defense planet number four. I've seen your battle videos."
"You're not bad!"
"You're flattering me." Wang Teng was respectful and calm. He bowed slightly and said, "Did I pass your test?"
"Oh, you know I'm testing you?" General Mokalén said.
"I guessed it. Otherwise, a sector lord like you wouldn't need to say so much to me," Wang Teng said.
"Very good. Brute force alone isn't enough. Only with enough intelligence can you live longer on the battlefield," General Mokalén said.
"Your appointment letter will be sent to your personal account. Go check it yourself."
"Let Fei Hai take you to get your uniform and resources. As for your next mission, someone will give it to you."
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Then, he waved his hand. Clearly, he was asking Han Xiao to leave.
Wang Teng bowed and didn't say anything. He turned and walked out of the office.
Outside the door, Tiki and Fei Hai immediately came up to greet him.
"How was it? What did that old fogey say to you?" Tiki asked directly.
He was a little worried because Wang Teng had stayed inside for half an hour.
Normally, new recruits wouldn't stay so long in front of General Mokalén.
Even if Wang Teng was a baron of the Empire, it shouldn't be enough for General Mokalén to give him special treatment. Unless he had other opinions about Wang Teng.
"…" Fei Hai was so scared that his face twitched.
This Tiki colonel was too daring. They were right outside General Mokalén's office. Wasn't he afraid of being heard?
Deputy Song's mouth twitched, but he acted like he didn't hear anything.
"Old fogey!" Wang Teng's expression was weird. He felt that it was quite appropriate. He smiled, "Nothing, he just said a few words of encouragement. This General Mokalén is quite easy to get along with."
"Easy to get along with?" Fei Hai glanced at Wang Teng, his heart full of doubts.
He seriously doubted whether the General Mokalén Wang Teng was talking about was the same General Mokalén he knew.
General Mokalén was famous for being strict and strict in Defense Star XXIX. Almost everyone was afraid of him. Tiki dared to say a few words behind his back, but in front of General Mokalén, he had to follow his heart.
"You're not joking with me?" Tiki looked at Wang Teng in confusion. He felt that Wang Teng was fooling him.
"Aren't I fine? General Mokalén doesn't eat people. "Wang Teng laughed.
He really didn't feel anything. What General Mokalén said just now, or what test it was, didn't affect him at all.
"Alright, you're awesome." Tiki felt that he worried for nothing and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Wang Teng smiled and said to Fei Hai beside him, "Second Lieutenant Fei Hai, General Mokalén wants you to bring me to get my military uniform and supplies."
"Okay, please come with me," Fei Hai hurriedly said.
The three left General Mokalén's office. After walking out of the administrative building, they drove to the logistics department again.
"Wang Teng, what rank did the military give you?" Tiki asked curiously on the way.
"Major," Wang Teng answered.
"Damn, you're a major as soon as you arrive? Are you kidding me?" Tiki's eyes widened in shock.
Fei Hai also opened his mouth in shock. Although he had heard about it before, he didn't know the exact rank. Now that he heard that Wang Teng was a major, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Is major very high?" Wang Teng asked.
"Why do you sound so annoying?" Tiki glanced at him.
"…" Fei Hai was also speechless.
As a second lieutenant, he had no right to interrupt.
Goodbye, sorry for bothering you.
"Do you know how many years it took me to get to the rank of major?" Tiki asked.
"One year?" Wang Teng touched his chin and guessed.
"… Cough cough." Tiki coughed dryly.
He felt offended.
He said in annoyance, "One year, in your dreams. I spent three whole years. At that time, I was a star level martial artist like you. I relied on my outstanding performance in a team battle to make a lot of contributions. That was how I was awarded the rank of major."
"You were such a noob back then." Wang Teng said in disdain.
"I …" Tiki was full of resentment and wanted to curse.
But when he thought about Wang Teng's achievements, he suddenly felt bored.
"Don't be sad too early. With me by your side in the future, you'll find that you're even more of a noob." Wang Teng comforted him.
"…" Tiki.
Is this comforting?
Do you have some misunderstanding about what comforting is?
"…" Fei Hai.
"I thought it would be good enough to give you the rank of captain at most. I didn't expect you to be a major." Tiki sighed along the way.
It could be seen that the rank of major in the military of the Qian Empire wasn't that easy to reach.
Compared to the military ranks on Earth, there was a huge difference.
Back then, he casually made some contributions and was awarded the rank of major general. If he wanted to reach that level now, he probably had a long way to go.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the logistics department.
The building where the logistics department was located was much larger than the administrative building. It was at least four to five times the size of the administrative building.
With Fei Hai leading the way, Wang Teng felt a lot more relaxed. He didn't have to worry about any trouble at all.
The logistics department was very large. After entering, Fei Hai directly led Wang Teng through a long corridor and into a huge room.
"Second Lieutenant Jeff, I've brought an officer to receive his military uniform and equipment."
After learning about Wang Teng's military rank, Fei Hai changed the way he addressed him. He shouted at an old soldier in the room.
Second Lieutenant Jeff stood up from his chair and looked at the person who came in. He said in a businesslike manner, "Please show your letter of appointment and verify your identity."
Wang Teng opened his intelligent wristwatch. A letter of appointment with the military seal of the Qian Empire appeared and faced the screen on the wall.
A beep sounded.
The screen on the wall showed that his identity had been confirmed.
Second Lieutenant Jeff nodded and confirmed that there was no problem with the letter of appointment. However, when he saw Wang Teng's military rank, he quickly put on a respectful expression and saluted. "Greetings, Major Wang Teng!"
"You're welcome." Wang Teng returned the salute.
He noticed that Second Lieutenant Jeff had a broken arm and a broken leg. He had already been fitted with mechanical prosthetics. He was obviously a veteran who had retired from the battlefield.
Wang Teng would naturally give a certain amount of respect to such a person.
Second Lieutenant Jeff turned around and walked into the warehouse behind him. After entering his identity, he walked out with a box.
"Major Wang Teng, this contains your military uniform and combat supplies. The supplies include a set of universal level armor, a universal level origin gun, and a bottle of universal level healing pills."
"Additionally, your residence is Area B, Room 0155. Permission has been granted for you. You can use your identity account to access it."
"Okay, thank you." Wang Teng accepted the box and put it away into his spatial equipment without looking at it for too long.
"..." Second Lieutenant Jeff had a thousand words to say after seeing Qianye's casual attitude, but he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Wang Teng and the other two didn't stay for long. After receiving their items, they left the logistics department immediately.
Jeff shook his head. He guessed that it was another noble descendant who had come to the defense planet to train. Who knew how long they would stay?
