Chapter 122: Quartermaster

Chapter 122: Quartermaster

Sitting on the coffin lid, Gu Xi held a lotus leaf and ate the sticky rice inside. Although it looked unappetizing, the taste was actually acceptable.

At least there was nothing in the taste that Gu Xi couldn't stomach.

At the same time, Gu Xi could clearly feel his body heating up as he ate the rice, as if a special power was repairing his previous injuries.

Especially his stomach, which had suffered some damage due to prolonged hunger before he got the job. Even though he hadn't felt it much, his stomach was indeed somewhat damaged.

After eating this rice, he felt a warm sensation in his stomach.

This made Gu Xi quite satisfied and captured most of his attention. When the evil coffin stopped, Gu Xi realized he had unknowingly finished all the food.

"Comrade, come quickly. I've already explained the situation to the quartermaster, and he agreed to make an exception and count your achievements on the way here as part of your battle record."

Gu Xi looked up and saw a man in his forties smiling at him.

This man had dark skin, but for some reason, he had a certain affability. When he smiled, Gu Xi also felt like smiling.

"Hello, my name is Gu Xi, I'm from the transport unit."

"I know. The commander mobilized three thousand elite troops from the underground area of the city to deal with the war, and the city lord extorted five thousand replacements. You're the one who transported these troops, right?"

Gu Xi didn't expect there to be such a backstory behind transporting troops.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

The man patted Gu Xi on the shoulder. "You don't know how much you've helped us by transporting those troops. If you had been any later, we wouldn't have known what to do.

Come, tell me about your journey. Did you encounter many interception troops along the way?"

"Yes, it was fine when I first set out, but the closer I got to the Scatter Immortal Garden, the stronger the interceptions became. Especially on the outer plains, the interception forces were ridiculously strong. I almost couldn't make it through."

"Really? Then what kind of enemies did you kill along the way? Can you tell me?"

Talking about this, Gu Xi immediately perked up. He quickly took out the white baboon skins left by the ghost leaders he killed along the way and began to explain to the man.

The man listened attentively, occasionally interjecting.

Unconsciously, Gu Xi told him everything that had happened along the way.

When all the white baboon skins were laid out on the table, Gu Xi felt something was off.

What had just happened? How did he end up telling everything?

Seeing Gu Xi's confused expression, the man smiled slightly. The reason he could sit in the quartermaster's position was due to his affability.

After all, who would have thought that a death knight's greatest talent and path would be in leadership, diplomacy, recruitment, and finance?

The affability he displayed was just a manifestation of his diplomatic skills reaching a certain level.

It wasn't hard for him to get Gu Xi to talk so much. It was just some conversation skills guiding him.

Unconsciously, Gu Xi saw him as a friend and spoke more.

Of course, since Gu Xi saw him as a friend, he would naturally treat Gu Xi as a friend too.
