Chapter 474 - Another Test (2/2)
Left hand!? Qin Fen nodded again, a bit more approval in his eyes.
Handshaking had always been about taking the initiative to stretch out their right hand. Even if one was left-handed, he, too, would stretch his right hand out in a normal situation. This was everyone’s habit.
Zuo Lin, on the other hand, stretched his left hand out. This small gesture was in fact telling everyone that he was the master here. Even if he shook hands, it must be done according to his habits.
Zuo Lin, sensing Qin Fen’s glance and nod of approval, had a bit of gloomy look appear on his face. Being praised gave him an uncomfortable feeling, it always gave him the feeling of being treated as a child.
After waving off the dissatisfaction in his heart, the confident smile reappeared on Zuo Lin’s face. It was normal to give up on this kind of thing. At least, it was still profitable if they did it with the Zuo Family.
Two more people stood up. Zuo Lin stood up and shook hands with the other two.
Gradually, people stood up, one after another. Qin Fen began to wonder if the seventeen-star lieutenant general would continue to remain seated on the fishing podium all the way until the end.
Even after all this, Du Hen had his back resting on the chair, looking indifferently at the people standing up and lowering their head to Zuo Family. He took a sidelong glance at the unperturbed Zuo Dongting and smiled.
This was the Lion, Zuo Dongting! He was sleeping all the time. But when he had decided to take the shot, he’d would pounce bravely like a lion, giving no chance for anyone to stand up!
At this time, Lin Ling stood up. She wasn’t just the prettiest soldier in this room but also the prettiest soldier in the entire Federation. Once she made a move, she would attract public attention immediately.
“I choose Qin Fen.”
Four simple and calm words jumped out Lin Ling’s perfect red lips without any emotional fluctuations. Her people were standing behind Qin Fen already.
The entire room sunk into silence immediately. Other soldiers who hadn’t gotten up had extra prudence in their eyes.
Yes! There might be Zuo Lin of the powerful Zuo Family but there is also a superstar of the military and martial arts world. In the future, Qin Fen might become a legendary figure in the martial and military world!
The two people who had just risen from their seats sat back down, slowly and silently. Naturally, these subtle movements could not escape Zuo Lin’s eyes. Be that as it may, the smile on Zuo Lin’s face grew even bigger instead of getting smaller.
Zuo Lin cast a gaze filled with slight gratitude to Qin Fen. Simple warnings and rewards were far from enough! But if several ignorant rebels appeared and were completely destroyed soon after, then after this display of strength, those who had attached themselves to the Zuo Family can truly remember and better understand the virtues of Zuo Family.
A few people began to show indecision. Although the Zuo Family was strong and influential, it was too big. As such, the total resources and benefits needed were also incomparable. Then, how much of these benefits could remain and then distributed among the others?
Qin Fen… The hesitant people put their glances on Qin Fen. This young man might not seem to have a huge backing but this lack of power is his disadvantage and a huge advantage at the same time. If he somehow succeeds without the backing of any power, the benefits that could be shared would be suddenly greater.
“I, Colonel Clark choose to withdraw and join under Lieutenant Colonel Qin Fen!”
The black giant who was as tall and robust as an iron tower roared out this sentence as if he was staking himself in a bet, breaking the silence of the room.
Not long after, Emily, a female colonel also joined Qin Fen along with Lin Ling and Clark.
There was no need for any self-introduction for Qin Fen to know that the greatest strength of this colonel wasn’t her martial strength of the thirteen-star level but her sniping skills!
Qin Fen believed that if he took Emily’s top off, he could definitely find a red spot on her shoulder.
It wasn’t caused by some skin allergy but a special medal that was left due to Emily’s constant sniping practice.
Qin Fen was sincerely happy to see through Emily’s strengths at one glance. Although Qin Fen hadn’t touched the sniping equipment these days, his skills hadn’t fallen. On the contrary, his sniping skills had made more substantial progress with the continuous improvement in his martial strength.
“Very good.” Zuo Dongting’s pair of black and white eyebrows twitched several times. “I didn’t expect there would still be five applicants who didn’t choose to withdraw, which is more than we expected.”
The five other five-star generals nodded in agreement. Zuo Dongting looked at the other generals and spoke again, “Our goal is to choose the best suitable candidate out of the four, leaving us with the last two people. Then, we will need another quiz, and this time, the loser will be kicked out completely.”
Zuo Dongting’s gaze covered all the applicants in the room but Qin Fen could feel that eighty percent of Zuo Dongting’s attention was on him, as if he was sure that it was none other than Qin Fen who will be kicked out in the end.
