Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 513 - 487: Classmates

The two of them walked while reminiscing about old times.

"You’ve really changed a lot, how did you become so handsome?" Zhu Shaoqiang remarked.

Chen Shouyi smiled modestly, "It’s alright, you’ve gotten much darker!"

"Well, there’s no helping it, being in the army is like that, exposed to the elements every day, even if you weren’t dark, you’d become dark." Zhu Shaoqiang said, "I was quite handsome before too, do you remember Chen Fang?"

"Chen Fang? I know her, she was really good at dancing." Chen Shouyi replied.

"She used to write love letters to me, but her chest was too small, so I rejected her. Now I totally regret it, had I known, I would’ve taken a chance back then!" Zhu Shaoqiang lamented repeatedly.

Chen Shouyi: ...

He was much more handsome than him yet still a virgin.

"I haven’t returned to Dongning for almost two years, Chen Shouyi, do you know about the situation with other classmates?" Zhu Shaoqiang continued to ask.

The other classmates might have already died.

He obviously didn’t know that Dongning was gone.

Chen Shouyi was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "I’m not sure. I dropped out in the first semester of the third year and went to Hedong."

Zhu Shaoqiang didn’t ask what he was doing in Hedong.

Chen Shouyi didn’t say either.

At this moment, a lieutenant ran up quickly: "General Manager Chen, the car is ready."

Chen Shouyi nodded, then turned to the shocked face of Zhu Shaoqiang and said, "I’m leaving first!"

Then he thought for a moment, looked at the lieutenant, and asked: "Do you have paper and a pen?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The lieutenant hurriedly took out a notebook and pen from his chest pocket.

Chen Shouyi tore off a page, wrote a phone number and address on it, handed it to Zhu Shaoqiang, patting his shoulder: "Remember to find me to hang out when you’re in Hedong!"

Zhu Shaoqiang instinctively accepted it, then dazedly watched the two of them walk toward a military vehicle, where the lieutenant respectfully opened the door for him, and soon the vehicle drove away.

"Do you know General Manager Chen?" A voice came from behind.

Zhu Shaoqiang turned around, quickly stood at attention and saluted, saying nervously: "Hello, Captain, he’s my high school classmate."

"Relax a bit!" The captain said with a smile, his face and neck scarred, making his smile somewhat intimidating: "You know me?"

"You’re Gao Feng, captain of the special operations unit, I’ve seen your impressive demeanor from afar." Zhu Shaoqiang said respectfully, as he was a Martial Master level powerhouse, the captain of the special operations unit in his unit.

"Impressive demeanor, haha!" Gao Feng was amused.

Soldiers and the wounded were coming and going on the road, and he restrained his smile and said: "Let’s talk at the side."

They walked to the roadside.

Gao Feng took out a pack of cigarettes, threw one over to him, and Zhu Shaoqiang quickly accepted it, feeling flattered.

He wasn’t dumb, he knew the reason he was being treated differently.

But this was really beyond his understanding. He took out his lighter, his hand trembling slightly, offered a light to Gao Feng, and finally couldn’t resist the question in his heart: "Captain, Chen Shouyi...no...General Manager Chen, what is his identity?"

"You don’t know?" Gao Feng asked in surprise.

"I didn’t dare to ask!" Zhu Shaoqiang scratched his head, showing a bit of embarrassment.

Being in the war zone, news was closed off, he had no idea his classmate had long been famous.

"He’s a real big shot! Compared to him, I’m just this!" Gao Feng laughed and made a small gesture with his fingers.

"Captain, you’re a Martial Master!" Zhu Shaoqiang said in shock, his military rank already a Major General.

"Compared to him, I’m nothing, and I’m just a quasi-Martial Master, not even daring to approach him." Gao Feng puffed out a mouthful of smoke, cursed, "The teeth of a Martial Master will mutate, I’m still a bit short.

Do you know what level General Manager Chen is in terms of power?"

Of course Zhu Shaoqiang didn’t know, he held back the turbulent waves in his heart, guessing as high as possible, probing: "Senior Martial Artist!"

"Even higher, never mind, you probably couldn’t guess, he’s a legendary power, reportedly killed a Demigod yesterday." Gao Feng said with a look of awe.

When Zhu Shaoqiang heard this, he was dumbfounded.

Chen Shouyi, classmate, legendary power, Godslayer, any one of these is normal.

But connected together, it was really hard for him to believe.

Looking at Zhu Shaoqiang’s astonished expression, Gao Feng said: "That’s the difference between a genius and an ordinary person, don’t compare, just be glad you have such a classmate."

He paused and continued: "By the way, you’ve reached the Martial Artist level, right?"

Zhu Shaoqiang came to his senses, excitedly said: "Recently passed the assessment!"

Gao Feng took a deep drag, burning half the cigarette at once, flicked the cigarette butt away and patted his shoulder, standing up: "Go write a special operations unit application report."

...

Until the other left.

Zhu Shaoqiang realized something.

The benefits of the special operations unit are the best in the military, and reportedly provide a resource for practice every month, he’d wanted to apply for a long time.

Unfortunately, although once you become a Martial Artist you can hope to join, with the increasing number of Martial Artists in the past two years, applications are increasingly difficult, people like him, newly promoted Martial Artists, ordinary in terms of strength, without special military merits.

He had no hope either.

But now with the captain of the special operations unit hinting, it was clearly not a problem.

...

Although the scouting mission was completed, with the battlefield situation quickly changing, they couldn’t leave for a while, Chen Shouyi and several others could only temporarily stay.

Command office.

Chen Shouyi and Zhu Xueqing stood at the door, silently listening to Wang Lie’s voice in the room.

"Hello! Is everything alright at home?"

"Things are good here, I’m eating well and sleeping well, nothing to worry about. I’ll be back in a few days!"

"Ting Ting wants to talk to me? Sure!"

...

"The signature was done for you long ago, I’ll give it to you when I get back, practice martial arts well, be aware the world is in such chaos now, even big Martial Artists are nothing, you are only a Martial Artist..."

"Okay, okay, I won’t say more, don’t forget breakfast... I’m hanging up."

Wang Lie walked out, looking annoyed.

Chen Shouyi looked at Zhu Xueqing. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Zhu Xueqing quickly said: "You call first! I’ll be last."

"Then you two step away!" Chen Shouyi snapped.

"General Manager Chen, are you calling your girlfriend? Don’t worry, we won’t eavesdrop!" Zhu Xueqing laughed, saying, and stepped back a few steps.

Girlfriend?

He didn’t have time for a girlfriend!

Chen Shouyi entered the room speechless, picked up the phone, dialed home, waited for nearly a minute, finally the call was answered.

"Hello, who are you looking for, my brother went on a mission, he’s not home!" Wei Chen Xingyue’s voice over the phone.

"It’s me!" Chen Shouyi said.

"Brother, rare call, what’s up?" From the phone, Chen Xingyue said.

"Where’s Mom and Dad?"

"You’re a step late, they just left, do you want me to call them?"

"No need, I’m hanging up!"

After Chen Shouyi said that, he hung up.

Since home’s okay, there’s nothing much to say.
