Chapter 29: with translation of chapter title

No matter what Gu Han's demands are, try to satisfy him as much as possible.

Guan Shan thought for a moment, then said in a low voice,

If the logistics department lacks anything, come to me anytime to submit an application; don't delay.

And report to me separately whatever Gu Han exchanges and his recent movements.

Seeing Guan Shan's solemn attitude, Li Qiang was instantly astonished, followed by a strong envy toward Gu Han.

To receive such importance from General Guan, Gu Han is definitely boundless in prospect!

General Guan, Gu Han said he might still need more monster inner cores later, you see...

Guan Shan furrowed his brow, not understanding what Gu Han needs so many monster inner cores for.

However, since he decided to play a long game for a big catch, he won't care about these trivial gains.

Guan Shan casually took out five monster inner cores,

Keep them for now; when Gu Han has a need, come find me again.

Having said that, Guan Shan prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped his steps and said in a low voice,

Don't let Gu Han obtain things too easily, or act too deliberately.

After Guan Shan left, Li Qiang muttered doubtfully,

What does 'don't let him get it too easily' mean? Isn't it just wanting Gu Han to know you can't reap without sowing?

Li Qiang leaned back on his own recliner, took out a palm-leaf fan, and lazily fanned the air as he began to rest.

Having a general as a backer is really great.

If he had someone as important as Guan Shan valuing him back then, he wouldn't still be just a minor logistics clerk today.

Gu Han's opportunity is indeed something I can't envy.

……

After leaving the military camp, Gu Han went deep into the wilderness and continued hunting monsters.

He had already greeted Ma Tie and the others, asking them to cover for him these few days.

As long as nothing major happens in the camp requiring all logistics soldiers to be present, Ma Tie and the others will handle everything for him.

And after venturing deep into the wilderness and confirming no one was following, Gu Han then took out the monster inner core.

The inner core is entirely fiery red, as big as two fists.

For the little wolf, still in its juvenile stage, this monster inner core is about half the size of its body.

Unlike roasted meat, the monster inner core cannot be chewed and swallowed.

Such a large inner core, the little wolf probably can't eat it.

Aooo—

The little wolf smelled the monster inner core's scent, knowing it was food Gu Han prepared for it, and immediately let out a happy howl.

Suddenly, a burst of azure light erupted from its body.

In the light, the little wolf turned into the size of a Samoyed.

Next, the little wolf stood upright and eagerly took the monster inner core from Gu Han's hand.

Then it opened its small mouth and took a big bite.

Crack!

The little wolf stubbornly bit off a fragment from the hard monster inner core!

And the little wolf winced in pain, baring its teeth, clearly its bite wasn't strong enough to gnaw the monster inner core directly.

Gu Han smiled,

So you can actually grow bigger; usually staying so small, are you trying to be cute and pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger?

But obviously the little wolf was busy feasting at the moment and didn't want to bother with Gu Han.

Gu Han didn't find it boring either; he tossed it into his backpack and continued hunting.

Over the next few days, his main target was monsters of one-star fifth rank or higher.

One-star corresponds to the lowest human martial practitioner realm.

Only these monsters can let Gu Han quickly increase his strength.

Anyway, as long as they aren't especially tough, for Gu Han now it's at most a one-punch job.

If one punch isn't enough, then two!

Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

During these seven days, Gu Han received a message from Li Qiang, went to the logistics department, and exchanged for three more monster inner cores.

And the little wolf's strength also grew rapidly under Gu Han's feeding.

By the last day, its strength even reached one-star sixth rank!

It could even single-handedly withstand some one-star eighth-rank monsters without falling behind.

Facing some rather ordinary one-star eighth-rank monsters, the little wolf even had a chance to slay them!

Gu Han's strength is even above the little wolf's.

On the way back to the camp, Gu Han laughed and patted the little wolf's head,

It wasn't wasted that I provided you with monster blood essence and exchanged so many monster inner cores for you during this time.

Only water elemental force, Gu Han managed to gather less than five points during this time.

He gathered monster blood essence up to nearly eighty points, all used to boost the little wolf's strength, with none saved.

And Gu Han is now certain that although the little wolf looks cute and fluffy, it is actually a scheming wolf!

Even though it's a proud one-star sixth-rank little wolf, it's still as tiny as when it started!

Anyone would be deceived by the little wolf's adorable appearance!

Little Wolf's strength increase is nearly complete; the upcoming monster beast blood qi and Water Elemental Force must be saved up to enhance Little Wolf's bloodline.

Although increasing Little Wolf's strength and enhancing its bloodline require the same things, they do not belong to the same category.

It's not that the monster beast blood qi Little Wolf uses to increase its strength will also accumulate toward bloodline enhancement.

In these past days of hunting, Gu Han has not yet encountered a two-star monster beast.

It seems that when the time comes, we'll have to specially seek out and hunt two-star monster beasts to obtain their inner cores.

After all, we've been frequently exchanging monster beast inner cores during this period.

Gu Han could clearly feel that Li Qiang's gaze toward him seemed somewhat off.

To be safe, it's better to avoid going to the Logistics Office for exchanges.

This time Gu Han returned to the camp just as the Logistics Soldiers were doing a major cleanup.

He deliberately returned early in order to draw everyone's attention.

As expected, Gu Han dragging four bulging Snakeskin Bags quickly drew the attention of all the Logistics Soldiers.

"I said these past days, why haven't I seen Gu Han? It turns out this Fellow went out to hunt in the wilderness."

Besides Ma Tie and others who share a dorm with Gu Han, and Li Qiang's registration at the Logistics Office,

Most Logistics Soldiers don't know what Gu Han has been busy with lately.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately began to discuss.

"He goes out to the wilderness alone; isn't he afraid of danger?"

"You don't understand; only by experiencing danger can one grow—how could Gu Han be compared to you?"

"Cut it out; if you really want to grow, why not go to the Warrior Camp to make a name for yourself, instead of hiding here as a Logistics Soldier? In my view, Gu Han is just afraid of death."

"His hunted game was probably prepared in advance by his older brothers; he just needs to drag it back to exchange for Logistics points."

This speculation quickly gained approval from most of the Logistics Soldiers.

To have them admit that Gu Chen is much stronger than them would be harder than killing them.

By contrast, Gu Han merely relies on his background to have so much game.

Rather than his actual strength being greater than theirs.

This viewpoint is easier for them to accept.
