What the monk captain said was right. Zhou Yuan had a lot of resources to use.
Although they are not as good as the direct descendants of noble and wealthy families, they can still catch up with the descendants of normal families.
The only difference between him and the descendants of aristocratic families is their relationship connections. Aristocratic families rely on blood, while he relies on position.
He came from the Jing'an military camp and was nominally a subordinate of the Huaizhou governor.
Although there was a Jing'an Schoolmaster Jiang Ren in between, the Huaizhou Governor was still willing to promote his subordinates because of this title.
For the governor of Huaizhou, promoting his own subordinates is always more profitable than helping the so-called children of aristocratic families.
This is probably because promoting his subordinates can not only increase his prestige, but also let more junior officers see that he cares for his subordinates and is willing to help them, thereby enhancing the cohesion of the officers in the camp.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan's application for military equipment was successfully approved by him.
"Liu Canjun, this guy is quite interesting. He knows how to ask for what he needs. I like subordinates like him."
"What the governor said is that if you dare to speak, it means you treat the camp as your home and the governor as your elder.
This is good, but I am afraid of those absurd people who don't speak out but complain behind the scenes that the camp does not provide them with weapons.
That's because they've mistaken their superiors and subordinates, and they're the kind of people who are hard to keep and often cause chaos and resentment."
General Liu revealed the rules of the Huaizhou camp in one sentence: if you want something, as long as it is reasonable and legal, you have to apply to the Huaizhou governor.
What the applicant wants is benefits, while what the governor of Huaizhou wants is the opportunity to show favor.
In this way, the relationship of gratitude can be made clear, and even if the investment is fruitless, you can still gain a grateful subordinate.
If it is distributed fairly, everyone will be grateful for a short time, but after a while they will think that what they have received is what they deserve.
In this way, it is inevitable that the superiors will not show their kindness and the subordinates will turn into resentment, and both sides will lose more than they gain.
"Jing'an Zhou Yuan, I remember him. He was the one who gave me the Moon Palace medicine pot and pestle.
Well, since he's a sensible family member, let's give him a chance to choose."
"Liu Canjun, take him to the bow room treasure house in the quartermaster's office and let him choose a good bow.
Tell him that if he passes the spiritual test and becomes a warrior, I will personally attend his promotion banquet."
"promise."
When Zhou Yuan received the news, he was still a little bit incredulous.
In the end, after borrowing the bow, not only was he not dismissed, but he was also treated better.
"General Liu, can I really choose at will?"
“Of course, since the governor has shown you such kindness, he won’t just send you away casually. If he lets you borrow a precious bow, he will naturally give you the most suitable one.
But don't mess around. Don't choose the best, choose the most suitable one, or you'll end up with a heavy bow and a bad choice."
"Don't worry about joining the army. I've also been through many bloody battles and understand the principles of applying the best practices."
Zhou Yuan walked into the bow warehouse and found that there were hundreds of precious bows of various colors on display, most of which were shining with spiritual light.
It’s just that some have abundant spiritual light, while others are hidden and elusive.
He was instantly dazzled by the number of precious bows. If he could only pick one, he would have wanted to take one of each.
"Let's take this one. This bow is agile and explosive, which just increases my lethality."
"The Flowing Fire Bow, it's really good.
Your arrows are very accurate, so you don't need a wind bow to guide and lock on them. Using a fire bow to increase your damage is truly the best choice."
Zhou Yuan was very satisfied with his new bow, and General Liu was also very satisfied with the fact that he had successfully completed his mission as the governor of Huaizhou.
Before leaving, he told Zhou Yuan not to worry about the armor. Since he had written an application for military equipment, the governor would give him some practical equipment as appropriate.
The results of borrowing and giving are similar, but the meanings are completely different.
Zhou Yuan borrowed a bow from the governor of Huaizhou, and the governor said that he would give him some extra gifts after he had his say.
What the monk captain said came true. As long as he took charge of Huaizhou Camp, Huaizhou Camp would not let him enter the capital with a broken bow and wearing iron armor.
【Weapon: Flowing Fire】
【Introduction: Heart constellation sinks to the west, and the flowing fire is red. In the middle of July, there is a westward flow, which is the star of fire. It means that cold weather is coming.】
【Effect: Adds the 'Xinsu' status to the holder and the 'Chique' status to the arrow.】
Heart: Also known as Mingtang, it belongs to the fire in the wood. It can guide its own spiritual energy outward and ignite it, causing burning damage to the target.
Red Sparrow: Red represents fire, and Sparrow represents swiftness. It can superimpose fire attribute spiritual energy to increase arrow speed and cause explosive damage to the target.
The Liuhuo Bow is a five-stone bow with superimposed attributes, and its lethality is far beyond that of the invisibility-breaking Tiger-shooting Bow.
With this weapon, Zhou Yuan can become a rocket shooter, and a high-damage shooter whose arrows come with explosive power.
Since the Flowing Fire Bow was taught to him in the camp, Zhou Yuan couldn't hide it in his inventory.
Therefore, when he returned to the barracks with a bow in his hand, he was unsurprisingly seen by the other three spiritual test candidates.
"Sima Zhou, where did you get this precious bow?"
The three candidates were very surprised, as they had thought Zhou Yuan was a boy from a poor family.
However, he did not expect that he could bring back a precious bow with a red spiritual light all over it just by going out to attack a secret realm once.
This kind of treatment of targeted armament upgrade is probably not reserved for the children of wealthy and powerful families.
"That shouldn't be the case. We don't have any wealthy Zhou clans in Huaizhou. The most famous Ningkang Zhou clan is just an ordinary aristocratic family.
Could it be that Sima Zhou is on good terms with the Governor-General and has received the Governor-General's approval?"
"Humph, I didn't expect the Huaizhou camp to be so unfair, only caring for that one person named Zhou and ignoring the three of us spiritual test candidates."
The atmosphere of laughter and conversation was ruined by a young man with a sullen face.
The two sons of noble families were speechless. The three of them were not generals of Huaizhou, so why would the Huaizhou camp upgrade their weapons?
Besides, if you have any difficulties, just tell us. Do you have to act cool and wait for the governor of Huaizhou to come over and ask about your well-being?
Seeing that the black-faced young man was about to say something, the two young men from noble families found excuses to leave and dared not communicate with the resentful young man anymore.
The amazing thing is that although they were running in different directions, they made a circle and ended up at Zhou Yuan's barracks one after another.
"I'm glad you're safe and sound, Sima Zhou.
The two of us came here to tell Sima some bad news. Before we enter the capital, we have already lost some combat power.
"The descendant of the Yilin Chen family in the third barracks on the left has a grudge and is unlikely to be helpful. He might even plot against his fellow townsmen."
Zhou Yuan originally thought that the two sons of noble families were trying to create enemies and prepare a team, so he did not express his opinion directly.
He only started asking questions after they told him the whole story.
"That can't be right, are aristocratic families so casual in choosing their successors?
He hasn't even reached the capital yet, but he's already offended the Huaizhou soldiers. Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to leave the Huaizhou camp?"
"Sima Zhou, that man is the second son of the family. His eldest brother obtained the family's spiritual object and became a warrior. He has watched him since he was a child and has accumulated a lot of resentment."
"There are many kinds of people, and we'll see. If he's really a domineering person, he can still help us."
