Chapter 95 Nothing has changed
If someone else said that he wanted to become stronger, it most likely meant that his physical defense became stronger, either as strong as steel or indestructible.
But when these words were spoken by Jiaji, coupled with his enthusiastic and yearning expression, Darren felt speechless for a while.
"Going to Happy Street again?"
he asked angrily.
Jiaji smiled sheepishly:
"Isn't there a card..."
"Besides, it's a loss if you don't use it."
Darren:…
No, even if you have a VIP card, that’s not how you use it! !
Seeing this guy's sloppy steps and heavy dark circles under his eyes, Darren suddenly regretted giving him the black card.
"Isn't there any medicine in Huoshaoshan?"
Darren asked again.
Jiaji's face suddenly turned red and he hesitated:
"That one is useful...but it seems that if you use it too many times, the effect becomes less and less obvious."
The corner of Darren's mouth twitched.
Good guy, I've given you all the resistance you need.
"Okay, okay, anyway, I will stay at the headquarters for a while."
He said angrily and walked out of the house immediately.
After receiving Darren's agreement, Jiaji was immediately happy. When he saw Darren walking outside, he couldn't help but be stunned and said doubtfully:
"Where are you going?"
Darren turned back: "Didn't you say you'd like to have a late-night snack?"
Addition:…
I'm just telling you, do you still take it seriously?
…
The business district of Malinfando.
The lights are brightly lit and the pedestrian street is filled with fireworks.
"Congratulations on your promotion, Huo Shaoshan."
A group of officers sat in the barbecue tavern, looking at the bearded young man with smiles on their faces, and all raised their glasses.
Huo Shaoshan scratched his head in embarrassment. On his brand new navy cloak, the epaulettes representing the major general of the headquarters shone brightly in the light.
"It's all luck."
Others were already used to this guy's modesty and started laughing and joking about it.
There were many familiar faces present, including the ever-smiling Ghost Spider, the tough-tempered Dauberman, the drunk Stoloberg, and Dalmecia wearing a Dalmatian hood...
They are all cadets in the third phase of the Naval Officer Training Camp.
Compared with someone's magnificent experience, these relatively ordinary officers, like most others, took up their posts after graduation, either guarding one side or stationed at the headquarters waiting for orders.
With excellent talents and talents, you will be promoted step by step.
"But we haven't seen that Darren guy for a long time, right?"
After drinking a glass of strong wine, Huo Shaoshan suddenly said something with emotion.
Ghost Spider raised his eyebrows and said calmly:
"Recent information shows that Lieutenant General Darren had a fierce battle with Roger on Fish-Man Island, and the Roger Pirates fled."
After the words fell, everyone else fell silent, with different expressions, and gradually became less interested.
He also graduated from the third training camp. Darren is already on the front line, fighting like Lieutenant General Garp with the most powerful pirates in the sea, but they are here to fight for the Fire Mountain. Celebrating the promotion of a pirate group with a bounty of over 100 million to Major General.
Although they have exceeded countless people in terms of strength and military rank promotion speed, compared with that monster, they are completely different.
"You guys don't even call me for midnight snacks, you're not being honest."
At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned and turned to look, only to see Darren slowly walking over with a smile on his lips and Jiaji behind him.
"Darren!"
Huo Shaoshan's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly.
"Sit down, you are the protagonist today."
Darren pushed the bearded guy back to his seat, then casually found a seat to sit down, poured himself a glass of wine, and without any gesture picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.
Looking at him with such a casual look, it seemed like he was back to the scene where he made jokes in the military academy. For some reason, most of the grudges in the hearts of everyone present disappeared, and smiles appeared on their faces.
"Why are you back?"
Dauberman asked curiously.
Darren handed out cigars to everyone skillfully and replied casually:
"I had a fight with Roger and was almost killed. I won't come back to recuperate now."
He put the cigar in his mouth, lit it, and puffed away.
"And haven't we been together for a long time?"
Everyone looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
It seems like... nothing has changed.
After a few glasses of strong wine, I felt the warmth in my stomach. The previous boredom slowly faded away, and a bit of comfort emerged.
Looking at the obviously mature but still familiar faces of the guys in front of him, he suddenly felt his mood improved.
It was only a few months since he saw her, but it felt like a long time had passed.
He just sat there quietly, listening to his former classmates tell all kinds of anecdotes about the recent events in the Navy Headquarters.
Who killed a pirate and got promoted, who was transferred to the branch as the base leader, and Garp stole half a box of senbei from the Warring States General...
"By the way, I heard that the fourth training camp is about to start. Teacher Zefa seems to be making some reforms and hiring some external instructors for teaching guidance."
Huo Shaoshan mentioned something at this time.
"It seems that there is such a thing, but is this external instructor really okay?" Dalmecia said vaguely while chewing on a chicken leg.
"Who knows, but I guess the quality of teaching will definitely decline." Ghost Spider sneered.
"That's true, after all, it means that Teacher Zefa is not teaching the whole process." Jiaji laughed.
"By the way Darren, you have a high position. Do you know who this special instructor will be? Could it be Sakaski and Porusalino?" Huo Shaoshan scratched his head.
The moment these two names were spoken, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even the ghost spider with a cold temperament couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Those two guys, one was cold and cruel, the other was lazy and funny, it was really hard to imagine what they looked like when they were instructors.
Two strange pictures could not help but appear in their minds:
"Learn the iron block today. If you can't learn it, then learn it in the next life." Sakaski said coldly to a new student with an expressionless face, and black smoke began to billow from his right arm.
"What a terrifying talent. It took me three months to learn the iron block..." Porusalino said with a half-smile.
"..."
"It's me." Darren shook his head.
Everyone:...
This is all the fault of the instructor! ?
They sighed inwardly.
So, things have changed...
"Hahahaha!! Darren!! I knew you were back!!"
At this time, a hot-blooded voice suddenly came from the door of the tavern.
Kuzan pointed a finger at Darren, his eyes blazing with excitement.
"I heard that you and Roger had a fight! Damn it!! If I had known I would have gone on vacation with Lieutenant General Garp!!"
He gritted his teeth and said again:
"Today, let us compete and decide the winner!!"
boom!
Darren suddenly kicked over the chair, stepped on the wine table, and said with a ferocious smile:
"No problem at all!"
…
"rock-paper-scissors!"
The fist hammered the scissors.
"Hahahaha!! I lost! As expected of my Kuzan opponent, he actually predicted my prediction!!"
Kuzan laughed loudly, picked up a can of beer and drank it.
His face turned red and hot breath came out of his nose:
"continue!"
Darren's eyes glowed with a strange red light, and he continued to punch with a smile.
Seeing these two guys guessing at each other, Huo Shaoshan and others had black lines on their heads.
But gradually, they also laughed involuntarily.
Yes, nothing has changed.
————
The next day.
Darren woke up refreshed. For someone with a body like his, a hangover was simply not possible.
Thinking of the absurdity of last night, a group of them got very drunk. They sneaked into the military controlled area in Marineland in the middle of the night, stole a large amount of bombs and gunpowder from the armory, and then ran to the abandoned military port to use it as fireworks. Let go...
And when the enraged Warring States chased him and started yelling curses, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
As we get older, everyone has families and partners, and military affairs become more and more busy, perhaps time for gatherings like this will become even rarer in the future.
Ignoring his emotions, Darren simply washed up, put on a brand new military uniform, and pushed out the door.
He was looking forward to today's trip.
——Because today is the opening ceremony of the fourth phase of the officer training camp.
