Chapter 179: Don’t Glare at Him
Seizing the time before dinner, Luo Ji planned to visit Zhao Pan.
However, just as he reached outside the tent, he heard Zhao Pan’s voice arguing with Zhang Sheng, the head of the Medical Department…
Luo Ji, who had clearly heard the content of the argument, shook his head with a wry smile, then walked straight in.
“Alright, stop bothering Zhang Sheng. He’s put in a lot of effort lately to cure your illness.”
“Chief (Leader)!”
Seeing Luo Ji walk in, both men quickly saluted respectfully.
Then, before Zhang Sheng could speak, Zhao Pan interjected, “Chief, my illness has fully recovered.”
“Please permit your subordinate to resume his post!”
Facing this overly diligent Zhao Pan, Luo Ji felt a headache coming on.
“Whether your illness has truly recovered is not up to you, it’s up to the doctor…”
As he spoke, Luo Ji turned to Zhang Sheng.
“Zhang Sheng, what do you say?”
Hearing Luo Ji’s question, Zhang Sheng’s face was filled with difficulty.
He stammered, unable to utter a single word even after holding it in for a long time.
Luo Ji, feeling curious, glanced at Zhao Pan beside him, feeling both amused and annoyed.
He had never expected that Zhao Pan, who was usually the most mature, had such a side to him.
“Zhao Pan, don’t glare at him.”
After speaking, Luo Ji turned his gaze back to Zhang Sheng.
“Just say it.”
“With me here, what are you afraid of?”
“If Zhao Pan dares to do anything, just tell me directly, and I’ll deal with him later.”
Luo Ji’s words decisively gave Zhang Sheng a bit of courage.
He braced himself and said.
“Your subordinate believes that, given Commander Zhao’s current condition, he should recuperate for two more days.”
“Then recuperate for two more days.”
Giving Zhao Pan no chance to speak, he said directly in an unquestionable tone.
Then, glancing at the suddenly dejected Zhao Pan, Luo Ji unhurriedly added.
“And then on the third day, you can resume your post yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Pan, who had been full of dejection, instantly beamed with joy.
However, before he could be happy for a few more seconds, Luo Ji immediately threw in a ‘but’.
“But these two days, if you don’t obediently follow Zhang Sheng’s advice and recuperate properly, then two more days will be added.”
After speaking, Luo Ji turned and left.
To be honest, he also hoped Zhao Pan could resume his post sooner, as that would help him share a lot of work.
However, health is the capital for significant goals.
When you are just recovering from a serious illness, you should recuperate properly without worry.
He didn’t want Zhao Pan to resume his post for less than two days, only to relapse again.
Such back-and-forth trouble would truly be fatal.
At the same time, to prevent such incidents from happening again, Luo Ji decisively selected two adjutants for Zhao Pan.
While other people’s adjutants obediently carried out their superior’s orders, Luo Ji’s requirement for these two adjutants was, whatever tasks there are, you two fight over them to do them for me.
If Zhao Pan falls ill again next time due to ‘overwork’ or similar reasons, then I’ll settle this account with both of you!
He had to do this, otherwise, given Zhao Pan’s sense of responsibility, he would wish to do everything himself, which he considered the safest way.
It is easier to change rivers and mountains than to alter one’s character!
A personality like Zhao Pan’s, with an excessive sense of responsibility, couldn’t be corrected in a short period.
So Luo Ji could only take a detour and put effort into the two adjutants he had selected for Zhao Pan.
After sorting out matters here, Luo Ji temporarily had nothing else to do.
After all, everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged.
The perfection of the system finally gave him a little leisure time, whereas he used to be so busy that he felt like he needed thirty-six hours a day.
Just as Luo Ji was wondering what to do, a ‘ding-ding-ding’ message alert sounded in his mind.
He quickly clicked it open.
The sender was Gao Su.
After confirming that he might become enemies with Liu Ye, the Vice-Alliance Master of Zongheng Tianxia, Luo Ji decisively messaged Gao Su, adopting a mindset of ‘know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’
However, Gao Su’s reply disappointed him…
“Zongheng Tianxia? What’s that? How could I have any impression of such a ragtag alliance…”
“…”
This reply was a bit arrogant.
Luo Ji, who was momentarily at a loss for words, couldn’t help but send a string of dots, then added.
“I heard there’s a Silver-rank player in charge there.”
“So?”
Silver rank?
Gao Su, on the other end, indicated that he didn’t put the opponent in his eyes at all.
“So I wanted to ask, at a critical moment, can you cover me?”
“Did you make enemies with them?”
Facing this question, Luo Ji replied.
“I accidentally killed a no-rank player, who turned out to be the cousin of that alliance’s Vice-Alliance Master. The Vice-Alliance Master seems to be named Liu Ye, and he’s a Black Iron rank.”
“The basic principle of player alliances is mutual benefit.
You’ve offended a Vice-Alliance Master, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the entire alliance will be against you. The Silver-rank Alliance Master has no grudge with you and likely has no interest in you, a no-rank player. There’s no need to be too pessimistic.”
After briefly reassuring Luo Ji, Gao Su immediately sent another message.
“Furthermore, due to the rank difference, that Black Iron rank Vice-Alliance Master cannot directly attack you.”
“At most, he can intervene using the means of a support battle, but a support battle has to be endured until the seventh day.”
“So, there are still many ways to deal with it, and you should be able to think of them.”
“As for whether I can cover you, crushing this ragtag alliance is easy for me.”
“But, once I come online, my enemies will come looking for me.”
“Are you sure you’re mentally prepared?”
Without even thinking, Luo Ji immediately replied with those one word.
“No!”
An alliance with a Silver-rank player in charge is a ragtag alliance?
Then Gao Su’s rank and the ranks of his enemies could already be foreseen.
Say no more, let me develop for five hundred turns first, and then we can talk about the next topic.
As if he had imagined Luo Ji’s expression at that moment, Gao Su quickly sent another message.
“Don’t worry, I fought them for so long before, and they still couldn’t kill me. The reason I said that is just to remind you, unless absolutely necessary, never take that step, because it’s a terrible move. Of course, when you’re truly about to be finished, just obediently ask me for help. Anyway, the ‘War Alliance’ treaty has already been signed.”
“Understood.”
Luo Ji let out a deep breath as he ended yet another call.
Although he had always felt that Gao Su’s rank was definitely not low, he never imagined that this guy’s rank was so high.
His mood was subtle at that moment…
