My Son Doesn't Seem This Handsome!

The Fierce Horse Inn is a gathering place for low-level adventurers from all over the Lyles Plain who have caught the scent of profiting from war.

Through a financial offensive, Xu Nan easily obtained more detailed and confidential intelligence about the war. Although some of the information was unreliable, it still had some reference value.

"Fortunately, I didn't heed Lost Paradise's warning and go to MI7 to buy related hidden intelligence..."

"What can be solved with a few gold coins would cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins in Junqi's business."

At this moment, a finely crafted parchment map slowly unfolded before Xu Nan's eyes, outlining the terrain and landforms of the northern Lyles Plain. By the standards of the Pro World's drawing skills, it was already a top-notch map!

Centered on the Plane Funnel where Yutuo Sang Plus is located, the northwest direction is the Shadow Realm, the southwest direction is the more complex Five Yang Lake, and the east is a vast desert plain.

This is a corner of the Northern Continent of the Prime Material Plane in the Pro World.

The Eastern Kingdom now has an enclave here. Due to the mountainous terrain, the grain route from the south also makes a turn at the Snowy Mountain Pass before passing through the Snowfield City of the Eastern Kingdom.

The northwest of the Snowy Mountain Pass was originally a dense forest, and further north was a desolate Gray Sea.

Snowfield City stands on the mountainside north of the Snowy Mountain Pass, connecting that enclave with the Eastern Kingdom.

As a transportation hub, Snowfield City is naturally very important. In fact, the Eastern Kingdom has always attached great importance to the grain supply route.

They had established numerous outposts and gray towers along the coastline of the Gray Sea, with well-trained rangers or scouts stationed there for reconnaissance.

With these guardians, even if the beastmen who have lived in the vast forest for generations were to make any moves, they would be detected in advance.

However, due to the frequent troop movements of Snowfield City to the northern enclave in the past two years, the number of rangers and scouts was clearly insufficient. Furthermore, the orcs had not harassed the supply lines for many years, leading to a lapse in judgment by Snowfield City's commander.

They abandoned the front line at Grey Tower Outpost, so when the Frost Winter Clan launched their full-scale attack, the supply lines and post stations at Snowy Mountain Pass fell directly to them, and Snowfield City and the Eastern Kingdom were choked by an unexpectedly well-equipped orc army.

This was intolerable to the high command of Snowfield City, so they dispatched three nobles, each leading an army, to quickly reinforce the Snowy Mountain Pass.

The orcs, however, seemed unwilling to accept just an empty supply route. They wanted to launch a fierce attack on Snowfield City and were also eyeing the supply wagons that were expected to appear ten days later.

They established a crude and rudimentary defensive line and camp at the Snowy Mountain Pass. According to intelligence from the scouts at the front, there were even signs of ogres among the Frost Winter Clan's orcs, making the course of the war increasingly unpredictable.

"War is imminent, and there is no time to lose!"

Xu Nan gently tapped the kraft paper map with her fingers and sighed softly.

At that moment, the tent flap was suddenly pulled open, and a dwarf with a bulbous nose shouted:

"White-faced, give me a six-person ration bag. Also, I need some [Iron Cluster Li]. I need to check for any defensive gaps in the surrounding area tonight. The orcs' wolf riders won't let any opportunity slip by."

Xu Nan reluctantly stood up from the stool, opened the military supply depot at the back, and, as usual, took out six marching ration bags for him.

"The Iron Cluster Li are gone. I urged the blacksmiths to start making them yesterday, but they have an important mission. The armor of the dozen or so cavalrymen from the north is still being repaired..."

Xu Nan shrugged.

The dwarf glared at him and cursed, "You humans are all snobs! Why is the armor of the cavalry lord more important than the defense of the logistics camp...?"

He left grumbling, while Xu Nan remained expressionless.

Immediately afterwards, several more people came to collect military supplies. This time, it was the raiding team that arrived late. Their attitude was even worse than that of the dwarves. Their contempt for Xu Nan was palpable. If Xu Nan hadn't had a mission, he would have loved to give each of these natives from the Pro World a Fireball Spell combo!

Pity.

Is being too handsome a mistake?

After the group of Wang An left, Xu Nan took out a mirror with some sorrow and looked at her stunning face, feeling sorry for herself.

"How did I, a powerful sorcerer, become a support staff member?"

"How am I supposed to achieve anything if things continue like this?!"

Xu Nan had a terrible headache.

The story begins two days ago.

He gathered enough information from the Fierce Horse Inn and made his decision quickly.

Orcs, humans?

Do we need to choose? Of course, it's humans!

Besides, Xu Nan is still a human being, but the benefits offered by the two sides are not on the same level. The human side has a clear price list, pays according to work, and also includes bonuses, performance-based pay, and low-temperature subsidies.

Meanwhile, the Frost Winter Clan's Great Chieftain promised that once they conquered Snowfield City, they would be showered with gold and silver treasures...

Do you really think Xu Nan is stupid?

He had heard descriptions of Snowfield City; it was basically an impregnable fortress. At most, these orcs would gain some advantage, then sneak south into the great forest. Taking over Snowfield City was absolutely impossible.

Furthermore, there are rumors that the Frost Winter Clan's sudden surge in power is related to a mysterious force behind them.

Xu Nan had a feeling that these big, dumb guys were probably being used because they were short of guns again—there was no way around it, orcs had always been repeatedly used by all sorts of schemers and ambitious people.

He definitely didn't want a story like, "After finally joining the orc army and working his way up to the rank of sergeant major, a green-haired boss suddenly appears behind him, gently touching his thigh and asking, 'Do you crave power?'"

At that time, he excitedly took Qin Lele to the recruiter in Snowfield City to submit their resumes.

Soon, a very beautiful female knight interviewed him. Afterwards, the knight told Xu Nan directly that he had been hired and would receive a very lucrative offer!

It was pretty much a good deal: high pay, low workload, close to home, and super safe... Xu Nan felt uneasy when she heard that.

When the letter of appointment arrived, he was completely dumbfounded.

Logistics officer!

They are specifically responsible for the distribution and supply of military rations and miscellaneous logistical supplies for the camp.

Although they are temporary workers, their wages and benefits are on par with those of second-class soldiers in the kingdom—they receive two [Silver Ears] per week, and their meals and accommodation are provided.

Xu Nan was puzzled at the time: with his strong abilities, why was he assigned to a logistics officer?

During the interview, he made sure to flirt with the female knight Melinda quite a bit, implying that he was far more capable than her!

It wasn't until that evening, when Melinda asked him to come to her tent to discuss tactics, that Xu Nan realized it was because he was too handsome and had caught the eye of this lustful female knight!

Fortunately, Xu Nan was quick-witted and made an excuse to slip away, but he still suffered greatly in the camp.

Melinda seemed to have him cornered, and sexually harassed him countless times.

If it weren't for the faction selection being fixed after the campaign mission, Xu Nan would have really wanted to join the orcs—but then he thought, what if he were being targeted by a female orc priest...

The thought sends chills down my spine.

Let's stick with humans.

In fact, Xu Nan had considered taking the initiative and finding opportunities himself, but he soon realized that Lin Sphere's way of thinking might not work in the Pro World.

This is the military!

Although Melinda was a bit lecherous, as one of the three great knights of Snowfield City, she had always been quite famous in the north of the kingdom, and her soldiers respected her greatly.

In the military, orders are absolute.

Xu Nan can try to earn merits, but he will be charged with dereliction of duty and ignoring military orders, which could lead to the failure of the entire mission!

It was only at this point that Xu Nan realized how difficult the task of Lost Paradise was.

Earthlings, who are used to being laid-back, are not so easily able to accept this kind of backward militarized management.

Xu Nan almost got into a conflict with several groups of people during his first time as a logistics officer, which led to him having a very bad relationship with others in the temporarily recruited army.

If he offends the female knight Melinda again, he can basically forget about making a living.

Two days have passed, and the preliminary war preparations have been completed. Tonight, Melinda will personally lead the raiding party to attack the orc camp.

This is the best opportunity to rack up battle merits.

Does he really have to submit to Melinda?

Is it really worth sacrificing your virginity just to complete a mission?

Xu Nan fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he envied Qin Lele. This child was recruited into the Scout Team as soon as she joined the army, and she had been wandering around the edge of the battlefield. It is said that she even went to the vicinity of the Gray Tower and looked out at the Gray Sea from afar. She has traveled much farther in the Pro World than Xu Nan.

At first, Xu Nan was still worried about Qin Lele. After all, this was a battlefield. No matter how smart and clever Qin Lele was, before the invasion of Pro World, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl studying at Foreign Languages School.

So he went to Lost Paradise and bought a lot of self-defense equipment, such as instant casting scrolls, powerful amulets, and escape gems, basically arming her from head to toe.

He repeatedly warned him not to be reckless, to play it safe and focus on survival.

The battlefield is truly brutal, allowing no room for carelessness.

If Qin Lele hadn't insisted on challenging herself, Xu Nan would have even considered sending her back to Yu Tuo Sang.

After these two experiences, Xu Nan himself was safe, but he was always on tenterhooks, just like his wife when she went into the delivery room.

Only then did he realize the preciousness of life and the weight of responsibility.

However, Qin Lele did not disappoint Xu Nan; even on the battlefield, her demeanor remained unchanged.

Xu Nan had just given her all sorts of scrolls last night, and the next morning, Xu Nan saw them in the hands of several rich second-generation cavalrymen who came to "show off" their resumes—they reportedly bought them at high prices from traveling merchants in Stephenson, which made Xu Nan stomp her feet in anger.

Fortunately, although Qin Lele is mischievous, she has a runestone from the Shadow Realm, so she should be able to escape if all else fails.

Xu Nan was trapped in the tent these past few days, thanks to the war intelligence she provided.

"If all else fails, we'll have to use a charm spell!"

After much painful reflection, Xu Nan decided to give it his all.

Whom do you intend to seduce?

A masked woman suddenly walked in from outside the tent. She glanced at Xu Nan and narrowed her eyes:

"I heard that Melinda has a very handsome logistics officer named Cheng.Song."

"But my son doesn't seem to be as handsome as you."

...!
