An 18-Year-Old Major General!

"This... the detector was built so quickly?"

"He solved a problem of this magnitude in less than an afternoon? That boy is amazing!"

The exclamations of Director Xu naturally drew everyone's attention.

When they saw a task that required multiple meetings of their entire Transcendent Shelter and three of their Smelter from the armory resolved in just a few hours.

They were all in a daze!

"Our Cao Family graves are emitting auspicious smoke! My God, my God!!"

At this moment, Cao Jianjun was completely engulfed in extreme excitement.

He looked at his nephew in the arena, breathing rapidly, his face flushed.

This task was clearly completed by his nephew alone, so the reward...

Major General rank! Major General!

Their Cao Family actually produced a general!!

Don't worry, you'll definitely get your reward.

Xu Zhenjiang listened to the boy's words and looked at him intently.

Now, he has to admit that this kid is no ordinary person, not at all.

Even though he had many prejudices against this blond-haired kid, he had to admit this at this moment.

"Let's go outside."

Xu Zhenjiang looked at everyone and added, "In any case, we've resolved a major issue for our Tianbei Base City this time. Have a good celebration tonight."

"It's General Xu."

Everyone nodded and followed him outside.

"Director Xu, didn't you say this kid had no chance of succeeding?"

"Is that kid really that talented in Artifact Refiner?"

Stepping into the research institute, Xu Zhenjiang looked at Director Xu, who was walking beside him, staring wide-eyed at the blueprints, and asked him with great curiosity.

"Ah?"

Director Xu was slightly taken aback, then slowly came to his senses. He glanced at the 'yellow-haired boy' being held by Cao Jianjun not far away, swallowed hard, and said, "General Xu, I was ignorant before. His talent can be described in one sentence: For those Artifact Refiner, seeing him is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; for Artifact Refiner, seeing him is like an ant seeing the blue sky."

"In terms of talent, he... is the embodiment of justice."

"His understanding of the properties of metals and the essence of spirit completely exceeded his subordinates' expectations. Although he is only a 9th-level Mystic Artificer, his knowledge is incredibly vast."

As he spoke, his gaze fell in amazement upon the blueprints in his hands.

This contains the process by which the person deduced the Soul Perception Disc.

Exquisite, unparalleled, and even a little incomprehensible!

"Um?"

Xu Zhenjiang was also shaken by his evaluation. "How does it compare to He Wushuang from the capital?"

"He Wushuang definitely not as talented as him, and it won't be long before he surpasses him."

"That's what Director Xu said with certainty."

"This... this kid..."

"He must have obtained an extremely powerful Artifact Refiner inheritance, as well as some treasures to aid his learning."

Xu Zhenjiang thought to himself in amazement, his eyes flickering slightly.

As a high-ranking official, he knew that there were many things in the Lost Land that could defy fate, and inheritance was one of them.

He glanced at the kid again and suddenly felt that the guy was much more pleasing to the eye.

No wonder he could get his daughter to look at him differently.

Even I have to be impressed.

If this kid shows him more respect in the future, dyeing his blond hair back wouldn't be a bad idea.

"No, grandpa, are you crazy?"

"Haha, Fengqi, you really bring honor to the Cao Family! You are truly the pride of our Cao Family, bringing glory to our lineage! If your father knew, he would be overjoyed, Major General Cao Fengqi!"

"Hey, he's just a major general, not a full general."

"..."

Sitting to the side, Cao Fengqi pushed away the old man who wanted to hug and kiss him, and said with a speechless expression.

Cao Jianjun didn't care at all, and put his arm around him, his face full of pride.

The people around the Transcendent Arsenal looked at the father and son with envy and shock.

"An 18-year-old major general, the first in the history of the Great Xia."

"This is enough to be recorded in the annals of the Great Xia; we have witnessed history today."

"This Major General Cao's talent in the Artifact Refiner profession is simply outrageous."

"It seems Major General Cao hasn't joined our official ranks."

"Whether they've joined or not is no longer important. It's said that Major General Cao hasn't even been in Tianbei Base City for ten days!"

"This is outrageous!!"

"..."

As they talked, the more they learned, the more shocked they became.

They also showed respect for the boy.

These are the honors and medals he earned through his extraordinary skills; they are indeed inferior to him!

"An eighteen-year-old major general is indeed unprecedented."

Hearing the murmurs behind him, Xu Zhenjiang silently exclaimed in amazement.

"General Xu, here is the information you requested."

At that moment, a young man walked over and handed him some information.

"Oh?"

Xu Zhenjiang took it and raised an eyebrow slightly.

I had my subordinates investigate that kid's information at noon, and they've found it.

He opened it and took a look.

[Name: Cao Fengqi]

[Age: 18.]

[Birthplace: Liangmin County.]

[Parents: Cao Jiancheng, Liu Xiuxiu]

He personally ordered an investigation into someone, so naturally the investigation was very thorough.

Xu Zhenjiang initially seemed fine, but soon, as he saw the messages, he froze.

[Character Relationship 1: Sister-in-law Liu Chunying, outstanding in appearance, with whom I have a close relationship, details of which are unclear.]

[Task Relationship 2: Twin Fiancées, Wang Zhiyan and Wang Zhixue, currently the two sisters are...]

[Relationship 3: Xiao Youya, relatively close relationship, currently pursuing her]

"???"

As he looked at these words, his expression gradually darkened.

"Holy crap, that blond thief is a complete scumbag, a total piece of trash!"

Xu Zhenjiang's expression was extremely gloomy; his recent change of opinion about the kid had completely vanished.

That damn blond brat, I need to keep my daughter away from that thief.
