"Alas, since that's the case, then you'll have to fend for yourself."

In Qian Fu's eyes, Gu Han only said this to save face.

Although he felt a bit regretful, the military didn't have a strict rule that those who reached the Second-tier Martial Apprentice realm had to fulfill the duties of a warrior.

It was just that most people who met the threshold for warriors didn't want to be logistics soldiers, living a mediocre life.

Of course, every year many people with insufficient mental fortitude would retreat from the front lines for various reasons.

Since Gu Han had said so, he didn't need to bother the inspector to re-examine Gu Han's strength.

Qian Fu lost interest in continuing the conversation with Gu Han.

After promising not to withhold Gu Han's reward as the top performer in the Logistics Camp, Qian Fu chose to leave.

As the top performer of the Logistics Camp this time, Gu Han was given a full pound of First-tier Wild Beast meat and blood by the cook!

As for the Blood Tempering Pill and Second-tier Wild Beast meat, they would be distributed by the Quartermaster later.

Gu Chen and the others, as warriors who performed exceptionally well, would certainly not lack beast meat and blood.

The six brothers gathered around a stone pot and ate heartily, with no one daring to approach.

During the meal, Gu Chen kept hesitating to speak.

After a long while, unable to hold back any longer, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Gu Han, why did you refuse Officer Qian's good intentions?"

Although Qian Fu was in charge of the Logistics Camp, he also had his connections in the Warrior Camp.

Being valued by Qian Fu, not to mention a bright future, at least it would be no problem to make a name for himself in the Warrior Camp.

This was definitely a rare opportunity for Gu Han!

However, Gu Han just smiled, "Brother Chen, I understand what you mean, but I have my own considerations."

"When the time is right in the future, I will apply to join the Warrior Camp."

Gu Chen could only sigh helplessly.

Things weren't as simple as Gu Han thought.

What kind of place was the Warrior Camp?

How could it be a place where one could come and go as they pleased?

Even after undergoing various training to deal with danger, the warriors would still suffer heavy casualties on the battlefield.

Let alone Gu Han, who hadn't received any training?

But this was Gu Han's own choice, and Gu Chen could only choose to respect Gu Han's thoughts.

Gu Han couldn't help it either.

The system was definitely his biggest secret. Forget Gu Chen, he couldn't even tell his own parents!

Only by hunting wild beasts and coming into contact with various corpses to absorb attributes could his strength grow rapidly.

As for the training in the Warrior Camp, it was completely dispensable to him.

A day of training might not even be as beneficial as killing a wild rabbit!

After an afternoon of hunting, Gu Han was starving, his stomach sticking to his back.

A pound of beast meat disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he even ate three bowls of rice before he was barely full.

"I have to say, although the treatment in this military camp is average, the cook's skills are quite good."

After eating his fill, Gu Han patted his stomach with satisfaction.

"Gu Han, here are the Blood Tempering Pills for you."

Gu Chen took out two Blood Tempering Pills he had prepared earlier and stuffed them into Gu Han's hand.

"Whether you want to become a warrior or not, at least improving your strength will give you some self-preservation ability."

Gu Han looked at the Blood Tempering Pills in his hand with a look of surprise, his eyes showing a hint of emotion.

After this period of understanding, Gu Han knew the importance of Blood Tempering Pills for Martial Disciples was self-evident.

Although Gu Chen was a Fourth-Order Martial Disciple, the reward mechanism of the Warrior Camp was definitely superior to the Logistics Camp.

But the number of Blood Tempering Pills he could get would definitely not be many.

Gu Chen was willing to give up one Blood Tempering Pill, which was enough to show Gu Chen's care for his younger brother.

Gu Han did not refuse, and solemnly took the Blood Tempering Pills with both hands.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

He didn't want to make a fuss over a Blood Tempering Pill.

Since Gu Chen was willing to treat him well, Gu Han would naturally reciprocate.

With the Soul-Snatching System, Gu Han was bound to usher in a period of rapid growth.

Given a few days, he could catch up to Gu Chen's strength.

It wouldn't be too late to return the Blood Tempering Pills to Gu Chen then.

At that time, it would be his turn to take care of his brothers.

Just then, the Quartermaster walked over from a distance.

Several soldiers carrying packages followed behind him, immediately attracting the attention of many Logistics Soldiers.

Teams ranked highly all excitedly rubbed their hands together and crowded forward.

The Quartermaster shouted at the crowd eagerly watching him, "Where is Gu Han?"

"Here, here, here!"

Gu Lin immediately stood up and, under everyone's envious gazes, pulled Gu Han to the Quartermaster.

Gu Han cupped his fists in greeting and said neither servile nor overbearing, "Gu Han greets you, sir."

The Quartermaster looked at Gu Han's upright posture.

He secretly thought, no wonder Lord Qian Fu valued Gu Han.

It was just a pity that Gu Han was not ambitious and was content to be just a Logistics Soldier.

Everyone has their own aspirations, so the Quartermaster couldn't be bothered to say more.

"First place in the Logistics Soldier assessment: Gu Han."

"Hereby awarded two Blood Tempering Pills and ten jin of Second-tier Demonic Beast Meat. We hope all Logistics Soldiers will continue to strive."

The Quartermaster stood before the many Logistics Soldiers and loudly announced the rewards, making hundreds and thousands of Logistics Soldiers envious.

Two soldiers following behind the Quartermaster handed a box and a heavy bag to Gu Han.

Gu Han calmly accepted the box and the bag containing ten jin of Demonic Beast Meat with both hands.

The Quartermaster's gaze was surprised. Gu Han held the box in one hand and held up ten jin of demonic beast meat in the other, yet his hand didn't even tremble!

Anyone could lift ten jin of something.

But to hold up a ten jin cloth bag, most people's arms would tremble slightly at least.

Gu Han's hand didn't even shake, something a First-tier Martial Apprentice couldn't do.

Because of this, the Quartermaster, like Qian Fu, felt regret for Gu Han.

After he secretly shook his head, he continued to distribute rewards to the other top ten teams.

Fang Yan was disqualified for causing trouble, which naturally made Ma Tie and the other three become third place in the Logistics Soldier assessment.

After all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that teams capable of hunting Wolf Beasts were few and far between.

Furthermore, with the addition of the Rabbits they hunted, only one team could surpass them.

After receiving their resources from the Quartermaster, Ma Tie and the other three came to Gu Han's side.

"Gu Han, it's all thanks to you this time that we were able to become third place."

As he spoke, Ma Tie picked up a bag of Demonic Beast Meat and handed it to Gu Han.

"We didn't get any Blood Tempering Pill rewards, and we only have ten jin of First-tier Demonic Beast Meat in total. These two jin are yours."

Without Gu Han, they would not only have been unable to hunt that Green Wolf, but even the number of Rabbits they hunted would have decreased significantly.

"Alright, I'll accept this Wild Beast meat."

Gu Han nodded, not being so aloof as to refuse the resources that belonged to him.

"However, in the future, you might need to find new teammates."

Upon hearing this, Ma Tie was first stunned, then nodded in understanding.

"I understand."

With Gu Han's strength, capable of hunting Wolf Beasts alone.

Ma Tie knew that if they teamed up with Gu Han, they would only be a burden to him.

Moreover, if they encountered danger, they would barely be able to protect themselves.

Parting ways amicably was for the best for both parties.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
