Jessica was to gather all members in the Base; Commander Lin Fan was holding a small group discussion to outline the future development and overview of the Base.
Boyka, as Commander Lin Fan's loyal follower, was the first to arrive.
The second to arrive was Ren Ya, who was doing handstand push-ups nearby.
The last to arrive was Mechanic Arthur, who was sleeping in his room.
Arthur yawned and said, "The quality of life here really isn't great. I like drinking premium brandy and cruising in a sports car, but there aren't even video games here."
"Arthur, how did you handle the military's inspection team?" Commander Lin Fan asked.
Arthur yawned again, rolling his eyes, "Those guys didn't even get inside the Base's gate before scurrying away."
Jessica whispered into Commander Lin Fan's ear, "He set up fragmentation grenades, bouncing landmines, and tear gas from the warehouse at the Base's entrance. Not even a tank could get in."
"The military probably won't let it go," Commander Lin Fan said, and then the phone by his hand rang.
On the phone: "Commander Lin Fan, I've heard much about you. I'm Colonel Cabin, the new chief examiner for this inspection team. Your subordinate truly showed me what wasting national resources means."
"It seems the military didn't say we couldn't use the Base's resources," Commander Lin Fan responded calmly, putting the call on speaker.
Colonel Cabin: "Hahaha, good. Since you're so capable, I won't be polite. The members of this inspection team are Death, Black Widow, and Punisher. I hope you'll still be able to smile then."
Death, who operates in both the open and hidden worlds, will kill the target within the accurate time if paid.
Black Widow, whose real name is Natasha, is a S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 10 Agent and a key member of the Avengers.
Punisher possesses peak human physical qualities, is proficient in combat and firearms, and can single-handedly take on an armed group.
Commander Lin Fan hung up the phone and looked at everyone: "Boyka, you will handle Punisher. Arthur, Ren Ya, you two will deal with Death. I will personally handle Black Widow."
After everyone decided on their targets, Commander Lin Fan explained a very important matter: the military rank System.
Military ranks are not assigned by the military.
"Right now, you are just recruits. To be promoted, you must earn merits. The serum you injected and the black technology you obtained must all be exchanged with merits."
Commander Lin Fan's military rank promotion System's fastest method is through the accumulation of merits from his subordinates; otherwise, relying solely on his own evaluation index would take an extremely long time to reach the highest rank: Grand Marshal.
Moreover, once the number of these troops reaches the standard, certain architectural technologies will be unlocked, providing mass production lines.
After dismissal, Jessica wanted to invite Commander Lin Fan to dinner that night to thank him for saving her life multiple times.
Furthermore, Jessica's father had specially prepared two tickets for Broadway.
Commander Lin Fan felt he had been too busy recently and decided it was time to relax, so he accepted Jessica's invitation.
Several hours later...
At a high-end restaurant in Queens, not far from Broadway.
Jessica was wearing a Chinese cheongsam that did not reach her knees, had removed her bulky glasses, replaced them with invisible contact lenses, let down her bun, and her long, flowing hair covered her delicate, pretty face as she waited nervously.
She didn't know what kind of woman Commander Lin Fan liked.
She also didn't know if Commander Lin Fan would like her.
But Commander Lin Fan had at least accepted her invitation.
Today, she had specially bought a handmade cheongsam imported from China, boldly choosing a short style that did not reach her knees, and this cheongsam also had a large slit on the side of the leg.
Commander Lin Fan pulled out a chair and sat opposite Jessica. "You look truly beautiful today."
"Thank you. You order, I... I need to go to the restroom," Jessica said in a low voice, gripping her cheongsam as she left her seat.
Upon reaching the restroom, Jessica splashed Water on her face, a smile on her slightly flushed cheeks. "He said I'm beautiful; he likes..."
"I have to go out, or Commander Lin Fan will get impatient." Jessica blinked, clenched her small fists, and encouraged herself before returning to the dining area.
Commander Lin Fan had already ordered an Australian Dragon lobster platter and a bottle of '89 red wine.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Jessica said, sitting down again and smiling at Commander Lin Fan, looking pure and lovely.
Commander Lin Fan stood up, ruffled Jessica's head, and said, "Don't be nervous. Is this... your first date with a man?"
"Yes, my first," Jessica said, lowering her head, her cheeks flushed, not daring to look into Commander Lin Fan's eyes.
Just then, a blond man, dressed in Western attire, with deep-set eyes and very attractive to women, suddenly sat down. "My beautiful Young Miss, might I have the pleasure of dating you?"
This blond man seemed to completely disregard Commander Lin Fan.
Jessica lifted her pretty face and shook her head, "I'm sorry, sir, but I already have a male companion. Please don't disturb us, thank you."
Commander Lin Fan thought to himself, the Marvel Universe truly doesn't lack surprises. This blond man in front of him was a Vampire; although he didn't have a noble title yet, he was already an existence that ordinary people couldn't deal with.
"Get out of here!" The blond man turned to Commander Lin Fan and commanded. Then he said to Jessica, "Now you don't have a male companion, so you... Ah! !"
"You've messed with the wrong person!" Commander Lin Fan pinned the Hacker Dagger onto the blond man's hand. "Didn't your Master teach you what manners are?"
