"I came to visit out of boredom tonight, how have things been going lately? I hear the training here is strict; are you accustomed to it yet?"
"Hehe, not bad, I guess. Just that the progress is a bit slow, as you know, I'm not particularly good." Mu Tou sighed softly.
"Just go at your own pace. Nobody else can replicate your abilities. That's your advantage, keep up the good work."
Sky Shadow was familiar with Feng Yi. The recent frontline battlefield situation had caused a stir in many Federal TV programmes, and of course, another reason was that he had heard about him from Mu Tou.
He knew that Zhang Xiaobo, Elvis, even Mu Tou, were all students once under Feng Yi's guidance. Although the former's abilities were mediocre, Feng Yi was undoubtedly worth wooing. As for whether he could be successfully wooed, further probing would be needed. He quickly perked up and walked over with a wide smile, "Mu Tou, why didn't you introduce your friend here?"
Mu Tou slapped his forehead in a 'I-forgot' gesture: "Boss, this guy is..."
"Everyone has heard of the great name of 12-star General Sky Shadow, no need for you to say." Feng Yi stepped in to break the awkwardness.
"Hehe, compared to Brother Feng who fights on the front lines, my name really pales in comparison." Sky Shadow modestly said, maintaining a conversation filled with warmth without revealing any flaws in his smile. "Do you have any plans after you return home this time?"
"Well..." Feng Yi was taken aback by this unexpected question. The two didn't seem that familiar yet, so he explained that he had no plans for this return trip.
Sky Shadow nodded, then asked if Feng Yi was interested in Mechas?
Feng Yi responded indifferently, stating he's a theorist with extremely poor hands-on skills. Although he knew a trick or two in combat, it was a different story when it came to piloting Mechas.
"If Brother Feng is interested in Mechas, why not stay here? Given your capabilities, becoming a Red Cloak will just be a matter of time."
Feng Yi shrugged off the suggestion, claiming that he didn't even want to stay in the army, not to mention the Red Cloaks. Despite Sky Shadow's warm talks, he stated that as long as he agreed to join him, there would be countless perks waiting.
So, this guy was actually out to recruit him. Feng Yi shrugged with a smile, expressing that his so-called love was merely an appreciation, just like his enjoyment of watching the World Cup. He would rather die than play himself.
Hearing this, Sky Shadow expressed regret, nodded in acknowledgment, and then turned to leave... Anyone he couldn't win over was a mere waste of time for him. Time is money, and he wouldn't waste it on someone incapable.
In Sky Shadow's mind, he instantly labelled Feng Yi as a person who didn't understand situational politics. Another possible label was that the person had too much ambition. However, due to his limited understanding of Feng Yi, he believed the first label was more likely.
Sky Shadow's departure immediately triggered whispers among the onlookers: "Did you hear that? That guy called Mu Tou, referred to him as 'Boss'."
"Not deaf, could I not hear? Doesn't Mu Tou referring to him as 'Boss' mean his skills must be off the chart? After all, he is a warrior who survived the Roland Battlefield, seems like he does have some skills, what rank do you think he is at?"
"Rank? Are you talking about combat or Mecha operation?"
"Definitely Mecha operation. I heard before that Mu Tou's group has a very powerful instructor, who taught a lot of Mecha theories, not sure if that's true."
"Mu Tou's group, isn't only Mu Tou an elite Red Cloak? The guy looks like a dullard, just got lucky. To be honest, if I were to participate in special training, I could also reach his level, or even higher. What do you think, Fong Yuan?"
"I don't know anything about Mechas, but I think it's up to everyone's abilities. To be honest, though, you're a little full of yourself. Mu Tou's hand speed is over 200, that's something. I reckon he can beat you ten times over easily."
"Go away, chatterbox. Anyone else can become an elite Red Cloak, but I definitely don't hold high expectations for Mu Tou. I heard he's slow and a slow learner, really don't understand how such an outstanding guy like Sky Shadow ended up being friends with him. Oh god, I feel like my world is collapsing."
At this time, not only the crowd outside but Hugo within the building was also discussing related topics. As an Elite Red Cloak, his senses of vision and hearing were naturally better than the average person. He might have seen what others couldn't see, heard what they couldn't hear. This obviously applied to the Red Cloaks around him as well. Even the least capable Red Cloaks were top-tier in regular combat units.
He caught whispers from outside and every conversation was discussing Feng Yi. They all regarded the battle honours of the frontline battlefield warriors as questionable, claiming their achievements were actually the combined glories of numerous soldiers.
The crowd claimed their own reasons, and Ophelia dismissed their diverse comments. On the contrary, although she knew few about Feng Yi, she clearly remembered how he performed in the military confrontation. Feng Yi was very strong, way beyond the reach of any warrior at his level. The disappointing thing was that this guy didn't seem to be interested in Mechas.
What's more, she vividly remembered Feng Yi's extraordinary single prowess during the military confrontation, almost sweeping everyone away. Of course, Amelia also mentioned Feng Yi's name in her watchlist before, but she didn't pay much attention then. But now having met him in person, Ophelia even had a faint idea of learning from Feng Yi, despite the fact that she had never fought with him, even once.
