"T-The Zerg are coming, we need to prepare for war"
...
As a confirmed profit, Bai Wei's words held the weight of mountains. Jiang Long immediately informed the emperor and started gathering troops as well as preparing battle plans with the help of Bai Wei's foresight.
The next three months went by in a blur as Jiang Long and Bai Wei raced against the clock before the Zerg invasion. Their studies at the academy were put on hold temporarily and Jiang Long was appointed as the major general of the upcoming war. The emperor saw this as an opportunity to stabilize Jiang Long's position as crown prince and hoped that his son would live up to his expectations.
Jiang Long managed to meet as well as exceed his expectations, preparing everything in a methodical fashion and readying the nation for war without letting the general populace know what is happening. By the first attack, everyone was well prepared and the number of casualties was greatly reduced. Jiang Long did not stop there and meant to head off into battle head first with his personal division of soldiers to fight on the front lines of the war.
Finally the day for Jiang Long's departure was here, Bai Wei stood outside the gates of the landing pad for the military space shuttle waving Jiang Long off. Bai Wei was set to return to the academy now that his part as a profit was done.
Profit's only see one version of the future so they are not much help when predicting small occurrences such as battle tactics on the battlefield. As such, Bai Wei would be of little help to Jiang Long on the battle field. Bai Wei originally protested against this matter with great enthusiasm, but eventually gave in under the other's gentle coaxing.
Jiang Long jogged to Bai Wei and gave him one last hug before boarding the ship. No one else had come to see him off, not even Jiang Long's mother had shown her face and only sent him a letter the day before warning him not to die. Only Bai Wei stood there waving himself off. Jiang Long thought to himself that it was a great thing to have friends.
[ Ding! Target's favorability has risen 5 points and is now 40]
[ Host! Host! I thought you would accompany him to war? Is that the only favorability that you are going to brush up after plotting this war? You became a walking war crime for 5 points of favorability?]
The system could see Bai Wei's unmoving mind scape and couldn't help asking many questions. The hardware cackled in the background as Bai Wei's mind scape instantly became fiery red at the systems last comment. The system sweat dropped and was about to apologize when Bai Wei answered.
It is better to let him appreciate me in my absence for a little while before joining him. Only then will he truly appreciate my presence.
The system made a 'oh' sound and watched as Bai Wei opened multiple different military strategy books and began reading them at once. He was preparing to take the militia exam and join Jiang Long in the field after some time.
...
Jiang Long felt that he was going insane in the absence of Bai Wei. He had never had a trusted ally like Bai Wei before and missed his unwavering warmth even more every second that he was away from him.
The two had only been cohabiting for a little over three months but those three months were enough for Jiang Long to become addicted. Once someone had tasted the sweetness it was impossible to go back. As the one who introduced Bai Wei to this sweetness, Bai Wei would just have to stay by his side for a life time as his closest friend.
Jiang Long's weird possessiveness over Bai Wei was flying wild as he sat in his tent looking at a photo of Bai Wei who stood in a graduation gown in front of Xialou academy. Bai Wei had applied for early graduation and became the youngest person to ever graduate from the academy. His achievement had made it to the front page of the social platform for this great achievement as well as his good looks.
Jiang Long's fingers traced Bai Wei's smile in the photo and felt that Bai Wei looked best when smiling. Almost too good in fact. Jiang Long was deliberating whether or not he should lock up Bai Wei so that his smile could only be seen by himself when a soldier made a sound before entering the tent. Jiang Long quickly exited out of the page on his terminal and put his hand down to listen to the soldier's report.
The soldier reported that there were reinforcements that had joined the camp as well as a military advisor who would be coming by the tent to greet himself in a little while.
Jiang Long's head ached at the thought of another military advisor. Most of them were sent by nobles with little insight on battles in order to curry favor with the emperor as well as sabotage Jiang Long.
At best, they were older gentlemen who were outdated in their tactics and stubbornly refused to listen to advise from others. At worst, they were brilliant military tacticians who were plotting against Jiang Long at every turn. Jiang Long had no affection for these pesky people and mentally started planning how to get rid of this newest advisor in a tasteful way.
One could not simply turn down military tacticians as they represented the nobles themselves and to turn them away was to turn against the nobles. Instead, it was easier to softly tempt the advisor into quitting themselves. After all most of the advisors sent were pompous, sheltered people and not used to the living conditions of the battlefield. Usually, it would suffice to leave them alone and they would return on their own in due time.
However Jiang Long's thoughts came to a screeching halt as he watched the object of all his dreams walk into the room. Bai Wei was dressed in a well fitting black uniform, he had grown a little taller since the two had last seen each other and looked less boyish than he did previously. Despite all of his physical changes, Bai Wei's eyes still lit up the second he saw himself as he entered the room and began silently looking Jiang Long up and down assessing him for injuries.
"Military Advisor Bai Wei greets the Major General!!" Bai Wei said in a loud voice while doing the standard salute towards Jiang Long.
[Ding! Target's favorability has risen 10 points and is now 45 in total]
