PNB Chapter 340 Dr. Zhou
Chapter 340 Dr. Zhou
After reporting for duty, Xi Yu and his comrades were initially classified as privates first class. They would only be promoted in rank after earning military merits.
The First Legion only recruited 21 new soldiers this time, which is quite few compared to other legions. Xi Yu was puzzled, but later she heard Fang Yiqing say that the number of recruits was not just 21, but actually 131 people. However, they were privates, which are one rank lower than privates.
Privates have better benefits and can have a dormitory room for two people.
While Xi Yu was packing her luggage, Ruan Zilu asked anxiously, "Do you think they might have made a mistake? How come I was assigned to the rank of private first class? I'm afraid the higher-ups might have messed up my grades?"
"How could there be a mistake? Don't think too much. Hurry up and get ready, we have to gather later." Xi Yu urged Ruan Zilu to get moving, giving her no time to overthink.
When they gathered, Xi Yu met the rest of her classmates.
Although they had become formal soldiers, as new recruits, their training and practice were still the main focus, and the person in charge of training the new recruits was Yue Chengsi, the commander's deputy.
All the new recruits were divided into groups for intensive training, except for Xi Yu.
"Sir, I haven't been assigned to a group yet," Xi Yu said, approaching Yue Chengsi directly.
"Just report to the research institute. The commander is waiting for you over there," Yue Chengsi said, glancing at her.
Xi Yu was thus sent away, but she was quite relieved that she didn't have to do any tedious practice, and she arrived at the research institute without any obstacles.
From afar, Xi Yu saw Yan San in a crisp, dark military uniform. Upon seeing Xi Yu, he gave her a gentle smile.
"Are you getting used to it? Chengsi hasn't made things difficult for you, has he?"
Xi Yu nodded: "It's alright, Major Yue didn't say anything."
He was just a bit cold to her, but Xi Yu didn't care. Yue Chengsi was quite calculating and regarded Yan San as everything, so it was understandable that he had doubts about her.
"That's good. Go see Dr. Qi first. There's someone I'd like to introduce you to." Yan San smiled. Xi Yu keenly noticed that the fluctuations of his spiritual energy were more stable than usual. It seemed that his cultivation was progressing rapidly and the results were obvious.
Upon entering the laboratory, Dr. Qi was talking to another elderly man with brown hair, wearing a white lab coat.
"It's Xiao Xi, come over here quickly." Dr. Qi waved to her kindly, and the brown-haired old man beside him also looked over.
Dr. Qi pointed to Xi Yu and introduced her to the brown-haired old man: "This is the child I was talking about. Her name is Xi Yu, and she is a new recruit who just joined the team."
"Xiao Xi, this is Dr. Zhou, specializing in pharmaceutics and biological research." Dr. Qi then smiled and pointed to the brown-haired old man.
Dr. Zhou immediately showed an extremely suspicious expression, his mustache twitching slightly, clearly somewhat angry: "You can praise such a little girl so highly? I think you're getting senile!"
Xi Yu raised an eyebrow, but before she could say anything, a warm breath suddenly enveloped her ear.
“Dr. Zhou is the most senior pharmacy doctor in our legion. He has also analyzed and studied the medicine you gave me before.”
Yan San's slightly hoarse voice whispered in Xi Yu's ear, his breath brushing against her sensitive ear canal, which reminded her of the scene on her balcony a few days ago, when Yan San was holding her and whispering in her ear.
Xi Yu's ears involuntarily burned, and she quickly covered her ears, took a step back, and glared at Yan San as a warning.
