Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1053 - 4: Young People Eager to Establish Merits
The brothers seemed to have grown overnight, which made Wang Yunxiao both gratified and somewhat emotional.
After crossing over, he wasn’t alone. With a large group of brothers around, laughing and joking, it made him feel the warmth of this world.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sure if he’d become the kind of protagonist in web novels, crossing over without concern for anyone else.
He drank quite a bit at night, fell asleep as soon as he returned to the dorm. The next morning, Wang Yunxiao saw Li Mumu’s note on her notebook.
"The Navy came to propose marriage at my house."
"When will you come over? My dad wants to have a talk with you."
Your dad wants to talk to me? That means you’ve already agreed, right?
Wang Yunxiao was instantly thrilled. Getting the proud Eldest Miss Li to agree wasn’t exactly an easy task.
Didn’t expect it’d go so smoothly.
But then he thought, with my current appearance... is it appropriate to visit?
After pondering for a moment, he replied to Li Mumu: "Let’s wait until I can walk after removing the cast."
Maintaining this appearance wasn’t his wish, but an upper-level requirement.
You’re heavily injured, sitting in a wheelchair, so it’s easier for them to continue negotiating with the Foreigners.
Diplomacy, after all, is like that. Although everyone knows what’s actually happening, they must pretend not to know, follow the necessary procedures, and maintain the façade.
This is called diplomatic etiquette.
"Do you know what job the Navy wants to assign you?"
Principal Zhou was still holding his teacup, which was rare this time, without any sarcasm towards Wang Yunxiao.
On a personal note, Wang Yunxiao was about to graduate and transition to the Naval Academy, starting his own path, no longer needing Principal Zhou’s guidance.
From a public perspective, Wang Yunxiao’s military achievements this time were enough for Principal Zhou to see him as an equal adult.
"I don’t know."
Wang Yunxiao shook his head: "But I figure, since I’m going to the equipment department, it should be related to the spoils I brought back."
The remains of the Defender.
Don’t underestimate this, for Wang Yunxiao easily took down one and captured another, thinking it’s some weakling.
Firstly, its combat power is actually very formidable, costing Wang Yunxiao a lot. Others might not have survived at all. Secondly, the operator behind it lacked combat awareness and experience.
It wasn’t a professional warrior.
According to later accounts from Li Mumu, the quantum artificial intelligence "Tushan" among Mathematics Transgressors was a civilian version of an advanced AI in future times. Its algorithm was entirely different from the military version Qingqiu.
Using Li Mumu’s words, this algorithm leaned towards the arts.
It liked playing with literature, discussing humanity, talking about freedom, chatting about psychology, occasionally acting whimsically.
But these issues couldn’t overshadow the biggest advantage of the Defender—mass production capability.
Not only could the body be mass-produced, but all the weapons and advanced technology it was equipped with were also era-defining.
If Wang Yunxiao hadn’t realized the huge potential value of this machine, he wouldn’t have risked his life to bring it back.
Other than that, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t think of another reason.
As for the Heavenly Armor? That’s something from sixty years ago, with more commemorative significance than practical value.
"There are indeed factors like these, but the Navy values your personal talents more. It’s rare to find someone like you who can simultaneously cultivate both the Righteous Path and Heretical Path in the same Dharma Gate and achieve certain successes."
Of course, this is by military standards.
Cultivating an excellent garrison soldier is nothing to brag about for Principal Zhou.
Spreading fertilizer but no crops grow, yet weeds flourish vigorously.
Choosing such a brainless Dharma Gate among many, enough to ruin Principal Zhou’s reputation in the education circle if this spreads out.
"Huo Qingyang finds it difficult to advance in the Yulin Forbidden Army because he’s too influenced by Jianghu World styles, and his vision has always been limited, hence needs honing. You are different, your talent in this regard surpasses his."
"Daring generals aren’t rare, but those who understand why to fight, should fight, and able to fight are uncommon. Your performance this time showed the military leadership your talents and potential. Yang Qiming called me and said that given enough growth space, you have a significant chance to advance in the Yulin Forbidden Army within three years."
"Does it actually require three years?"
Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed after hearing this.
Listening to Senior Xiao’s lecture a few days back, he said that true geniuses under his guidance could achieve the second advancement within a year.
Turns out I need three years.
What does that indicate? It indicates I’m not a genius.
"Don’t be ungrateful. Do you know how many Yulin Forbidden Army exist nationwide currently?"
Principal Zhou sternly said: "Seven people, only seven people, according to last year’s data. Including talented individuals like you with significant chances of successful advancement, Rampaging Colonels only total less than thirty people."
"Is it a matter of cultivation time?"
Wang Yunxiao directly pointed out the core of the problem.
The new Ming Country government is in its third year since establishment, and the Twelve Laws Cultivation System has been implemented only for these few years.
Moreover, it hasn’t been fully finalized yet. Those like them who received advance cultivation materials, to put it brutally, are akin to experimental subjects.
It’s modern works written under modern knowledge system frameworks, requiring a certain level of higher education to understand them.
Unlike the Divine Skill Secret Manuals dug from ancient mighty beings’ caves, which could be instantly cultivated after a glance.
"There are reasons like this, but the difficulty in cultivating the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate itself, you should have experienced deeply."
Principal Zhou nodded: "If you want to continue advancing, more experience is inevitably necessary, yet based on our current strategic direction, there shouldn’t be external wars erupting shortly, which will infinitely extend this cultivation advancement process. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Wang Yunxiao thought there’s nothing he didn’t understand.
When you had nothing, they would bombard and raid at your door with a group. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Now you have everything, ready and waiting to the point your head gets an imprint, yet they start talking about civility and politeness, insisting on not firing the first shot.

Hence, this time the Navy’s attitude was ambiguous — dragging Wang Yunxiao’s case with the British for a month and still wanting to continue the abrasion, in hopes to ignite the foreigners’ tempers to detonate a fierce confrontation somewhere.
If it weren’t for the President’s previously fiery temper, he would’ve long beheaded the Foreigners’ envoy and hung it from North Meridian.
Unfortunately, the British aren’t fools either. With years of global experience, they’ve mastered diplomatic tactics perfectly. If you drag, they’ll drag along with you, claiming to be civilized people, unwilling to stoop to barbarians’ level.
