My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 498 - 25: Eh???

Under the chain of explanations provided by Li Zheng and Zhou Jian.

Chen Lusi finally understood what they meant.

"So, you’re saying our odd jobs team... has turned into an odd jobs battalion, right?"

Chen Lusi looked at Li Zheng and Zhou Jian, hesitated for a moment, and provided a more accurate description.

"..."

Now it was Li Zheng and Zhou Jian’s turn to be silent.

Si Yujie looked at Chen Lusi, who had a ponytail, and felt somewhat exasperated at his words.

How long does he intend to hold onto that title of being in the odd jobs squad?

She recalled Chen Lusi’s self-introduction when he came to rescue her and couldn’t help but shake her head.

At the time, Wu You merely made a casual remark, joking that he was just doing odd jobs... yet he remembered it till now.

"In a certain way, one could understand it like that."

Li Zheng remained silent for a while, seemingly having thought of something, and slowly nodded, saying, "After all, you were previously doing odd jobs, but you’ve terrified those Self scoundrels, and even treated the Inquisition referees and Pope of the Russian Orthodox Church as scoundrels..."

"..."

Zhou Jian abruptly turned his head, shocked as he looked at his old team leader.

Could one understand it like that?

Interpreting odd jobs as dealing with scoundrels?

Is that what odd jobs mean?

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt there was logic to it.

After all, those hidden experts in novels, like the monk who sweeps the floor, also seemed to do odd jobs.

Hmm...

Suddenly, Zhou Jian also accepted this title.

Chen Lusi didn’t reply, he certainly wasn’t foolish enough to believe that this newly formed Emergency Mobile Unit was truly for odd jobs, let alone him; the entire Security Army squad being sent to him for odd jobs would be an order no one would give.

He was just feeling a bit hesitant.

On the appointment letter, not only was he appointed as the principal officer of this Emergency Mobile Unit, but he was also promoted exceptionally.

On the rank of Captain...

Chen Lusi was unsure whether this was the idea of the high-level officials from the Security Army or the gentle old man he had met that day.

But clearly, it’s not just a simple matter of being the officer of a mobile unit.

He is a member of Celestial Strategy Mansion, yet now he was given a rank—is he to be counted as part of the Security Army or still the Celestial Strategy Mansion?

Do Ji Xin and Xia Yue know about this?

Honestly speaking.

He doesn’t want to get involved in such disputes.

Of course.

More importantly, he is not sure whether he can bear such responsibility.

Not long ago, he was willing to accompany Xia Yue to the Russian Orthodox Church’s territory but was unwilling to listen to too much discussion among Celestial Strategy Mansion’s top officials, because he didn’t want to bear too much responsibility.

And accepting a rank often symbolizes responsibility.

He doesn’t feel he is incredible enough to be responsible for the lives of hundreds of people.

He currently believes he can only be responsible for two people’s lives.

"...Chen Lusi."

At this moment.

Li Zheng suddenly called out to him.

It turned out that unknowingly, Chen Lusi had become lost in thought.

Listening to Li Zheng’s voice, he made eye contact with him, and was just about to speak.

The ponytail was suddenly tugged a little.

Chen Lusi silently turned his head back, looking at Si Yujie who exuded a mature charm, mature feminine sensuality, and authority in her every move.

"Believe in yourself."

Si Yujie gently tugged his ponytail, seemingly having guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Don’t rush to refuse. Since this order has reached you, Ji Xin definitely knows about it, and even includes me, it must have gone through the highest levels.

So have some confidence, I’m telling you, don’t just say you’re the officer of an Emergency Mobile Unit, even if you were to kick Ji Xin out and sit in that position, few would have many objections."

Meanwhile.

Si Jiayan, who was hiding behind Chen Lusi, watched his mother’s actions, stared at Chen Lusi’s ponytail, and blinked.

Chen Lusi: "..."

"I think it makes sense."

A cheerful voice suddenly rang out.

This startled Zhou Jian and Li Zheng.

And the little girl hiding behind Chen Lusi.

Si Yujie glanced to the left and said, "Tang Language, if you scare my daughter again, I’ll stuff your tail in your mouth."

The voice ceased.

However, thanks to Tang Language.

Chen Lusi also came to his senses, handing the appointment letter back to Li Zheng: "In the absence of assignments, am I also in charge of training?"

"Yes."

Li Zheng accepted the appointment letter but didn’t quite understand what Chen Lusi meant for a moment.

Chen Lusi pondered and said, "Then let’s do training first; as for the specific details, I will later negotiate with Ji Xin. Please have everyone else come to the gourd as well."

Having said that.

He looked again at Si Yujie: "Can you please call Xia Panqiu, Wu You, and... Lin Ying over as well?"

"Okay."

Si Yujie agreed.

"Then let’s get going. I’ll discuss the other matters later after talking to Ji Xin. Training can begin now."

After saying that, Chen Lusi prepared to head to the meeting room where the gourd was placed.

And upon hearing this, Li Zheng exchanged a glance with Zhou Jian, then excitedly went to gather the waiting people.

This time, it’s not just a promotion for Chen Lusi, it is for them as well...

Because those who were involved in establishing the Emergency Mobile Unit have frighteningly high ranks.

Moreover, after being together for such a long time, their trust in Chen Lusi has long equaled their trust in Xia Yue.

But Xia Yue certainly couldn’t train them; he was amazing if he could stay in one place for more than ten days.

Chen Lusi, however, could.

And after so many events, especially after Chen Lusi and Xia Yue’s thousand-mile raid to take the Pope’s head in the Russian Orthodox Church incident, in their hearts, Chen Lusi was already at the same level as Xia Yue...

Perhaps Chen Lusi’s evaluation might even be higher than Xia Yue’s.

After all, Xia Yue, most of the time, could only act alone, and effective cooperation was difficult to achieve.
