The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 71: Squad Leader Hao’s Ultimate Skill

Translator: Strivon Editor: Strivon

Squad Leader Hao smiled faintly, a martial artist’s body was still relatively fragile when faced against the weapons of a mobile armor. Plus, the apex-level mobile armor pilots still possessed extremely terrifying might.

There were many different methods to kill people. It didn’t matter what the method. As long as the method was developed and unleashed to its limits, all will generate amazing might.

“Let’s first learn something simple, the repair of malfunctions and breakdowns.” Boor jumped out from the cockpit of the mobile armor. “Only when you understand the places that are easily damaged, can you be able to pay proper attention to these places that enemies can easily break. At the same time, you can increase the destruction towards the enemy.”

Qin Fen wasn’t too surprise. Whether it was Squadron Leader Trash or Butcher, none of them followed normal military training methods during their personal instruction. Qin Fen was already accustomed to this unique method of training.

————-

Mobile armors could be said to be one of the crystallizations of advanced technology. It was impossible for Qin Fen, with his high school education level, to understand its theory in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Boor didn’t plan on having Qin Fen understanding the engineering theory of mobile armors. Instead, he used the very simple and direct cramming and practically rote memorization to teach Qin Fen. He told Qin Fen clearly of what would happen when a certain part here or there of the mobile armor breaks, he told Qin Fen of symptoms to problems, and he told Qin Fen how to deal with them.

He told Qin Fen if this part broke, then he could use this other part from a different model mobile armor to act as a temporary substitute in case of emergency. And he told Qin Fen what sort of synchronization or what sort of power differential would appear with the substituted part.

Though there wasn’t any personal, real combat during the training, this training was the most tiresome for Qin Fen. The cramming teaching style descended once more, right when he thought he was done with it, and this instructor didn’t care at all whether or not the student was able to memorize everything. The man was just like a demon when he began explaining mobile armors. He selfishly talked without end, speaking quickly, his words carrying large volumes of information. It was enough to make any student stupefied.

Time flew by, and Squad Leader Hao’s lips curved into a smile. He just stood to the side. He wasn’t like the other instructors at all, bickering about how they had enough teaching time and that it should be their turn.

Soon, two thirds of Squad Leader Hao’s teaching time had been overtaken. The watch on his wrist beeped without end, and only then did Boor recover from his fervent emotions. He looked at his own wrist, and quickly gave Squad Leader Hao a chuckle in a bit of embarrassment. From his expression, one could tell that he still wished to continue on.

“Thank-you, Old Hao.”

Boor raised his hand and scratched his head, his current appearance completely different than his fervent and concentrated appearance from before. Right now he looked more like a kid who had done something wrong.

“No worries!”

Squad Leader Hao patted Boor on the shoulder. They knew each other far too well. They didn’t need to say many words for them to understand each other.

Boor’s “Thank-you” was his expression of thanks toward Squad Leader Hao for being able to predict what would happen. Squad Leader Hao had diliberately set his alarm back into two thirds of his time, so as not to interrupt Boor during his highest peak. This way, the Boor didn’t need to pay too much attention to time and have his teaching quality be affected.

Qin Fen’s pair of eyes still stared straight at the mobile armor. Boor probably said all he had to say, but Qin Fen was the one who had to memorization the entire lecture. The slightest bit of distraction could cause him to forget something.

A dozen or so minutes passed before Qin Fen exhaled a long breath. Qin Fen could only remember so much himself. Since this all was taught in the cramming teaching style, a mere few days of no contact with the material would surely result in him forgetting it.

“All right! Now that Boor’s done teaching, it should be my turn.” Squad Leader Hao interrupted Qin Fen’s speculation with a beaming smile. “It looks like you’re a bit tired. We haven’t given you a bit of personal time with the constant training these days. I really don’t have the heart to do it as your squad leader. I’ll let you skip my training, so we won’t be training today.”

No more training? Qin Fen studied Squad Leader Hao a bit suspiciously. When did this man suddenly have a personality change?

“Hehe, whatcha looking at? Go take a stroll back in camp.” Squad Leader Hao urged him once more.

The opportunity to exercise the brain was exactly what Qin Fen was looking for. These things that Qin Fen memorized by rote were still looking for a place to settle in his mind for re-digestion.

Camp? Gravity chamber? Qin Fen didn’t care enough to look into why in the world Squad Leader Hao was acting so kind. Qin Fen performed a standard solute, turned around, and walked away.

“Attention!”

Military camp placed the greatest importance on discipline. With Squad Leader Hao’s shout, Qin Fen immediately stood still, in place, and ramrod straight in the standard military stance.

“You really believe I’m going to let you go?” Squad Leader Hao’s sly smile appeared before Qin Fen’s eyes. “For the sake of paying back your big brother’s favor, how can I just let you walk away? Do you know what I’m going to teach you?”

Qin Fen shooked his head. The instructors that Squad Leader Hao brought gave him all sorts of elite training for they hailed from the Air Force, the Army, and even special forces. He really couldn’t imagine what Squad Leader Hao could teach.

“Quite puzzled are you?” Squad Leader Hao smiled grew even more prideful and conceited, “What I’m going to teach you aren’t the superficial skills of fighting, but the ultimate skills of war!”

Boor pretended to vomit to the side, but this didn’t deter Squad Leader Hao from continuing his expression of narcissism.

Ultimate skill? Qin Fen started to become suspicious. It couldn’t be that Squad Leader Hao was a master of cosmic warship production?

Squad Leader Hao lowered his voice to a whisper in a very mysterious manner, “What I teach is how to give emergencey treatment to injured comrades in the shortest amount of time.”

Qin Fen was now suspicious. Did such a thing warrant being expressed in mysterious whispers? Or did Squad Leader Hao possess some sort of special technique? Had he taken some forbidden techniques of the Army? Was that why he acted so mysteriously?

Qin Fen had somewhat of an understanding of these drill instructors; they all possessed shocking strength, but their personalities were a bit odd. They would often ignore many military rules, so they were probably thorn-like existences in the military. They made the brass happy yet gave them headaches at the same time.

“For instance, say we chop off your arm and use a special technique to attach Boor’s arm to your body.” Squad Leader Hao’s acted even more mysteriously, raising his eyebrows as he said, “Such things are taboo in the medical world.”

Qin Fen was really shocked this time. Having person A’s body receive person B’s limbs was possible under modern medical science and technology. However, it was likely impossible to find someone from a hospital who was capable of accomplishing such a thing in a short period of time and in the vile environment of battlefield and have the patient be able to use the body part.

“Well, how bout it? Amazing don’t you think?” Squad Leader Hao wrapped his arm around Qin Fen’s shoulders, acting quite intimately. “Even if you retire and join a business group, you can use these skills in case you encounter cosmic space pirates. These skills and techniques are absolutely outstanding.”

Qin Fen began to nod his head in agreement. Such skills and techniques were truly quite miraculous. If he could learn these skills and techniques....

“Pff.... Hahaha....”

Squad Leader Hao, whose expression had been very serious and mysterious, suddenly threw his head back and roared in laughter. Even the very culturely Boor hugged his stomach in laughter, the muscles of his face nearly cramping.
