Xu Ling smiled awkwardly and changed the contradictions familiarly: "My superior has never been worry-free, you should be more burdened."

Before Fu Zheng said anything, Lao Xiang turned his eyes wide open.

How could this kid dare to speak nonsense? This guy is the chief of the military headquarters, the leader of the five generals, and the highest power chief of the military! The old man of Xiang has to respect the person who is three points when he sees it.

However, Fu Zheng seemed to be familiar with Xu Ling's style and cursed with a smile: "You are even better than you."

Old Xiangxin thought, President Fu was not angry, why did they feel quite familiar with each other?

After talking nonsense, Xu Ling suddenly felt a little guilty and asked, "I've blown up all the ground, don't you have to pay for it, right?"

"Haha, the martial arts yard was originally used to bomb. Although the military headquarters is poor, there is still a budget."

Fu Zheng waved his hand indifferently, "Talk about it, how do you feel about the selection performance?"

Xu Ling's expression became a little more serious: "I'm not optimistic, the answering session is fine, it's not difficult, but I think the actual test is not good, and I'll fall in one move and a half."

Fu Zheng narrowed his eyes.

What's wrong with this kid? The questions he answered were more than one level more difficult than others. He thought it was okay, but Qin Yang had a high evaluation of his actual combat power, saying that his actual combat power was far beyond the index, but he felt that it was not possible.

However, as the chief executive, Fu Zheng could not reveal too much about the selection results, so he asked something else: "Before you came, did Zhu Talan reveal the content of the answer?"

Xu Ling hesitated and replied: "Sir, he lent me a book on conducting studies and told me to read it when I have time, but that was a few months ago, and I have never mentioned other questions at all."

This is the truth. Although Fu Zheng’s problem was indeed given by Zhu Talan, the latter did not favoritism. Instead, he was tested according to stricter standards.

Because based on Xu Ling's age and qualifications, it is logical that he would never be nominated, Zhu Talan was under pressure to do this, so the selection process naturally had to be more harsh, both to block others' mouths and for the purpose of testing.

Fu Zheng also trusted Zhu Talan very much. When he received those questions, he never thought about the possibility of leaking the question. After all, there is no need to do this.

If Xu Ling does not have enough ability, I believe he will not force him to push him up.

Fu Zheng nodded and said, "Forget it, don't take it seriously. The military headquarters will notify the results. Just perform well."

Hearing this, Xu Ling really thought the result was not optimistic, and the other party was comforting him in advance.

However, he didn't take it too seriously. Although he longed for a higher income, the people who participated in the selection with him were older than him, and it was normal that he couldn't get the election.

But the boss is going to be disappointed.

He thought silently.

Fu Zheng politely spoke to Lao Xiang Ye, then said, "Did you eat? Let's go to the cafeteria together if you haven't eaten."

Lao Xiang subconsciously wanted to refuse. The other party was too high and he was a little nervous to have dinner together.

But Xu Ling didn't think so much, so he nodded and agreed. At that time, including Zhu Talan, the few of them had a few working meals together, and they had long been accustomed to it.

When he arrived at the cafeteria to sit down, Xu Ling suddenly remembered something again and squeezed out a flattering smile and asked: "Elder General, I heard that the overseas investigation team has issued an expansion notice, right?"

Fu Zheng nodded calmly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, nothing."

Xu Ling still looked hippie, "I heard that the investigation team will be adapted into an expeditionary force later, right?"

It is natural that Fu Zheng and others could not disclose the information they should not have disclosed in advance, and snorted: "I don't know."

Xu Ling's face was dark.

You are the chief of the military department, and there are news you don’t know?!

However, since the other party was obviously unwilling to disclose it, he did not ask.

On the contrary, Fu Zheng asked: "What do you want to ask about? What does it have to do with you whether to modify or not?"

Xu Ling's dark face was once again occupied by flattery: "Hehe, that's right, I have a sister who is now serving in Chunlin's overseas mission troops. She just graduated this year and has not been a few months..."

"Oh, she wants to go to an overseas investigation team?"

Fu Zheng immediately knew what he meant, and an interesting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lao Xiang was silently sipping rice beside him, and he was very in awe of the Chief.

Even though he was actually older than the other party, he was still under great pressure. After all, he had seen his old master's attitude when he talked to the other party. At that time, he knew that Fu Zheng's status as a pillar of the country was far beyond what they were able to compare with.

Originally, he just wanted to finish the meal and leave, but after listening to their conversation for a long time, he felt more and more magical.

"Xu Ling has no other background. Even if he is more talented in martial arts, he will not be able to chat and laugh with General Fu at this stage, right?"

However, things happened in front of him, so it was even more incredible.

Actually, Lao Xiang just thought too complicatedly.

There are many intrigues among the aristocratic families. They always talk about their status and their relationships are complicated, so they are used to thinking from a utilitarian perspective.

Xu Ling didn't think so much. He first met Zhu Talan and then met Fu Zheng through Zhu Talan. He must have respect for elders and superiors, but after respecting them, he will not have excessive reactions.

Little do they know that this is a coincidence. Not all the superiors like flatterers. For those who are practical, the younger generation can talk to him calmly, which makes him appreciate it even more.

Lao Xiang has not figured out this joint. If people stay in a certain environment for a long time, they will naturally converge.

He was idle here, Xu Lingke didn't, and wanted to say a few more words to his sister. Then Fu Zheng replied in a question: "Yes, she has been determined to join the overseas investigation team since she was a child and contribute to the country."

Fu Zheng nodded: "What about you, do you agree that she will stay away from her hometown and go to the Winter Country thousands of miles away?"

"I? I have always supported her and never opposed it." Xu Ling's face did not change.

"Then sign up."

Fu Zheng did not express his attitude, "But the recruitment conditions this time are lower than those of your group."

After receiving the hint, Xu Ling felt relieved. Her sister was a level 5 graduate she raised herself, and she took the initiative to choose a dangerous and hard-working overseas mission force. She should be the top players in terms of conditions and ideological awareness. She must be no problem.

After dinner, Fu Zheng didn't stay much and went back upstairs. For people like him, there was not much time to rest.

Lao Xiang finally got free from his trembling state.

"How could you know General Fu?"

He has been puzzled since just now.

Xu Ling touched his chin: "Well... everyone in our overseas investigation team knows him."

Lao Xiang's wrinkled face was twitching. I'm talking about this kind of understanding. If you insist on saying this, then the people of the whole country know it.

However, he was too lazy to care about it. After returning to his residence, he strongly asked Xu Ling to take him out of the country immediately because he was worried that he would be arrested by his wife.

Xu Ling couldn't resist it, so he had to act as a driver and drove to the military control area the next day.

Unfortunately, although Lao Xiang was very excited to run away, the convoy heading to Curry Wush would take two days to set off. During this time, the Xiang family finally came to the door.

Lao Xiang was trembling and thought he was going to be taken out for a trial, but he found that only a young man came, bringing a large bag of clothes, medicine and fragments.

Looking at the things in his bag, he found that only his wife who had lived together for most of her life could think so thoughtfully.

"Tsk... I can't bear to leave." Lao Xiang murmured.

Xu Ling stood beside her arms: "Then don't leave. You are so old, it's great to stay at home and enjoy the peace and prosperity."

Lao Xiang shook his head with a serious expression: "No, I have a reason to have to go."

"Oh? Can you share it with the driver Xiao Xu?"

Perhaps because he was a little uneasy at the moment, he did not make things perfunctory, but instead expressed his thoughts rarely: "You may not know that the old man in Xiang's current helm is my uncle."

Xu Ling nodded silently. He knew that the very long-lived head of the Xiang family.

"In my generation, there are seven people who have mastered the secret casting techniques of the family. Each of them is a very famous caster, except me."

Xu Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He knew that Lao Xiang would rarely admit directly that he was not good at it.

"Actually, I think my skills are not inferior to them, but in our industry, everything has to be spoken by works. My elder brother personally created a level 8 long sword, which is the one that General Zhu wore; my second brother cast a quasi-level eight long bow for Xie, and the other brothers also achieved their own achievements. And I only have a weapon that has reached level 7."

Xu Ling scratched his head, he was not very good at comforting people.

However, Lao Xiang just asked someone to talk to him and did not need to respond.

"So, I don't have much time left for me. For the rest of the time, I hope to have the opportunity to create an eight-level thing."

Xu Ling smiled and said, "That's not difficult. There are so many experts in our investigation team. You will definitely have a chance if you go there."

Lao Xiang shook his head: "It's not that simple."

"What?"

"You also know that the materials of level 7 or above are rare. Even if you hunt high-level monsters, the materials on them may not be able to be used. Even if they can be used, the scrap rate during casting is very high. It is not comparable to those of level 4 or 5 for you."

"Think about it, even those generals who finally obtained a complete and suitable material for casting would be willing to hand it over to a caster with no works to take risks?"

Indeed, when we need level 7 or 8 weapons, the limit is no longer money, but materials and craftsmanship.

You need to know that money is easy to make, but things may not be available. If you finally find materials that are intact and can be used for casting, but are scrapped during operation, the loss will be huge.

So if you want to fight, you will definitely find an experienced caster instead of choosing an inexperienced old man.

His face was a little lonely. This was a vicious cycle. Without works, no one would look for him, no one would look for him, let alone any works.

As a founder, my greatest wish in this life is to have a masterpiece, and fortunately I will still be remembered by people a hundred years later.

Thinking of the gap with other peers in the clan, his mood became even more depressed.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the often silly smiling face in front of him, but this time he seemed very sincere.

"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Xiang, don't worry, based on our relationship, if I have enough materials in the future, let alone level 8, even level 9, level 10, or level 12, I will all look for you.

Lao Xiang was stunned. Although he felt that this goal was still far away for Xu Ling, who was still a captain, he was very kind.

However, the feeling of emotion did not last for three seconds, and he heard the boy continue to say.

"So for this, can you give me a Class 6 material?"

"Hey, Mr. Xiang, don't leave. Haven't you said okay?"

"I can't bear to leave the level six, but I can make do with it at level five. I'll use it for Xiaoyu in the future."

"Think about it, Level 4, you can't lose it anymore. Do you understand this investment? I have a promising future!"

"Get out! You're just expecting nothing!"
