Chapter 871 - Mutual Instigation (1/2)
Ren Xiaosu looked at the little black book in his hand. Since the Pyro Company soldier next to him could recognize it at a glance, it showed that a precedent had been set for this black book among the Pyro Company troops. He asked again, “What other uses does this little black book have other than allowing the holder to move around 3rd Division without any restrictions?”
“Oh.” The Pyro Company soldier thought the commander was probably too busy and did not have time to explain to Ren Xiaosu what it was used for after handing him the little black book. Thus he explained, “This is Commander P5092’s ID. Seeing it is equivalent to seeing the commander. You could say that other than commanding the troops to battle and other important things like that, there’s nothing else you can’t do with it.”
Ren Xiaosu’s eyes lit up. P5092 had told him that he had specially applied for the ID for him. But after asking around, Ren Xiaosu realized P5092 had actually temporarily handed over his high-ranking officer ID to him.
He was immediately moved to tears. P5092 really treated his friends sincerely. If he had the opportunity, he would definitely invite such a friend to the Northwest as his guest so he could have the honor of playing host!
Actually, P5092 was not about to let him know about how powerful the little black book was. That was because he had other motives for handing it to him. But who could have expected that Ren Xiaosu would ask a soldier to explain to him what it could do.
The soldier was not wrong either. He thought that since the commander could hand over his ID to Ren Xiaosu, it should not be a problem explaining the authority it had when asked, right?
Ren Xiaosu looked at the little black book in his hand and confirmed again, “Is it true that I can freely move around the camp and do whatever I want?”
“That’s right, sir,” the Pyro Company soldier answered.
Ren Xiaosu pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, “Sing me a song.”
The Pyro Company soldier was confused.
In the past, some people had used this ID to freely move with the troops before, but this was the first fucking time someone holding the ID requested to be sung a song!
The Pyro Company soldier said with difficulty, “Sir, my singing is terrible.”
“Are you saying that this black ID isn’t effective now?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.
“Rosy clouds, sunset, ends the day. Returning from target practice, back to base, back to base…”
Ren Xiaosu listened to the out-of-tune military song and looked at the little black book in his hand happily. Suddenly, he was beaming with joy.
When the soldier explained the uses of the black ID, Ren Xiaosu was skeptical of what he was told. But now he really believed it. This black ID was proving to be really useful!
“Alright, alright, stop singing.” Ren Xiaosu said, “Bro, your singing isn’t just terrible; you totally can’t sing. Here, take this. As long as you don’t suffer a fatal injury on the battlefield, applying this will save your life.”
After that, Ren Xiaosu stuffed a small vial of black medicine that was enough for just one application into the soldier’s hands. He was in an extremely good mood, so surely he could not make him sing for nothing, right?
However, Ren Xiaosu still had some doubts in his mind. Why did P5092 suddenly come out to welcome him? And he even gave him such an important identification document? He felt that something was off no matter how hard he thought about it.
Perhaps this was some kind of a ploy? And the Pyro Company soldier next to him might also be putting on an act together with P5092?
As he did not know what P5092’s motives were, Ren Xiaosu could only make wild guesses.
At night, when it was time for dinner in the military base, Ren Xiaosu swaggered around with meal boxes in one hand and the black ID in the other. He was surprised to find that as long as he flashed the black ID, he did not even have to line up for food. Furthermore, the chow squad even asked him if he had any special orders to make.
To test the power of the black ID again, Ren Xiaosu pulled over another few people and asked them about it. After verifying, he confirmed that the black ID really held great authority within the 3rd Division!
That night, P5092 had just finished his follow-up battle plan and was rubbing the bridge of his nose in exhaustion.
