773 A Good Opportunity
Half an hour later, Chu Nan, who had taken a good shower, sat in front of Marshal Chemekov in high spirits.
Marshal Chemekov sized up Chu Nan in amusement before his gaze landed on the loose military uniform he had changed into.
“Actually, the style of a female soldier’s military uniform is not much different from a male soldier’s. Not many people can tell when you wear it. Moreover, there are no outsiders here, and no one will laugh at you.”
Chu Nan’s face darkened and he shook his head.
“No, I definitely won’t wear women’s clothes. If there’s really no other way, I’d rather see you naked.”
Marshal Chemekov immediately laughed.
“I’ve never received a naked guest before. If you want to do this, I must get someone to record it properly and announce it. Just say that the commander-in-chief of the Federation Army has received the first naked guest. I believe many people will definitely be very willing to watch. Perhaps, just the money sold is enough to let me drink good wine for a few years.”
Chu Nan’s face darkened even more. He looked at Marshal Chemekov and thought to himself that compared to the last time they met, the Marshal was more willing to joke about him and treated him much closer.
This was only natural.
The last time he came, he was still an ordinary Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist who felt that it was extremely difficult to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate. Now, he had already defeated a Heaven Control Realm expert in a head-on battle.
With such an astonishing increase in strength, the treatment he received would naturally increase.
“Marshal…”
As soon as Chu Nan spoke, Marshal Chemekov raised his hand to stop him. Then, he poured a cup full of wine in front of him and gestured. He raised the equally huge wine cup in front of him and gestured to Chu Nan.
Chu Nan could only helplessly raise his wine glass and clink it with Marshal Chemekov before drinking it.
He rarely drank, or rather, he simply did not know how to drink.
The last time he saw Marshal Chemekov, the Marshal wanted to force him to drink, but he rejected him.
However, this time, Marshal Chemekov assumed a posture of sitting opposite him. It was obvious that Chu Nan could not reject him.
Fortunately, his body had been tempered thousands of times. Not only was his resistance to attacks and recovery ability super strong, but his resistance to alcohol was also super strong.
After drinking this glass of wine, other than feeling the alcohol enter his stomach and enter his blood vessels to accelerate his blood circulation, he did not feel any discomfort.
Moreover, this glass of wine was indeed a good wine. When it entered his mouth just now, the taste was ruthless, but in the blink of an eye, it had already become extremely mellow and fragrant. The wine circulated in his mouth and he could even feel the smoothness. The taste was extremely good.
Seeing Chu Nan close his eyes and experience it with his heart, Marshal Chemekov smiled in satisfaction.
“Yes, that’s right. Kid, it seems that you’ve finally learned to drink.”
Chu Nan swallowed the last mouthful of wine in his mouth, opened his eyes, and shook his head.
“However, I still don’t like to drink because drinking will make me feel that my body and brain are a little out of control. Although I know this is an illusion, I still don’t like this feeling very much. In comparison, I like the feeling of being able to accurately control every part of my body more.”
“Accurate control?” A trace of light suddenly appeared in Marshal Chemekov’s eyes when he looked at Chu Nan. Then, he quickly stretched out a finger and pointed at his eyes.
Chu Nan was immediately shocked.
Although there was no Internal Breath coming from this finger and he could not sense the mobilization of the surrounding spatial energy, its movements were abnormally fast and the changes contained seemed to be endless. Chu Nan was actually unable to calculate all the changes for a moment.
Helpless, he could only raise his hand and assume a defensive posture.
Although this seemed to be a little passive and his defensive posture looked very simple, in fact, he could already deal with all changes without changing. No matter how Marshal Chemekov’s fingers changed moves, he could quickly make the most correct response.
As expected, Marshal Chemekov’s finger changed slightly from pointing at Chu Nan’s eyes to the bridge of his nose.
Chu Nan immediately adapted.
The two of them exchanged blows in the narrow space in front of Chu Nan and only used their fingers to quickly exchange dozens of rounds. For a moment, their fingers were filled with afterimages, causing Chu Nan to feel a strong wind in front of him. Although he did not sense the fluctuation of spatial energy, he felt that it was dangerous.
After a while, Marshal Chemekov suddenly retracted his finger and sat up again.
Chu Nan waited for a moment before putting down his hand and looking at Marshal Chemekov in confusion.
Why did the Marshal suddenly personally test him?
Marshal Chemekov did not speak immediately. Instead, he poured another large glass of wine for Chu Nan and raised it.
Chu Nan could only helplessly drink with him.
After putting down the wine glass, Marshal Chemekov exhaled a breath filled with the strong smell of alcohol and slowly spoke.
“Chu Nan, what do you think… of the status of our Earth Federation in the entire Milky Way?”
Chu Nan was stunned. He did not expect Marshal Chemekov to ask such a lofty question, causing him to be at a loss for an answer.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan carefully replied, “That… can’t be considered high. Even on the Orion Arm, our Earth Federation can only be considered a small country, let alone the entire Milky Way.”
“Heh, you’re quite generous.” Marshal Chemekov shook his head, “In fact, our Earth Federation is simply a small country that can be seen everywhere in the entire Milky Way. In the eyes of those true Milky Way powers, we have no status at all.”
Chu Nan looked at Marshal Chemekov in confusion.
As the commander-in-chief of the Earth Federation Army, was it really good for him to say this?
Moreover… why did he mention this to him?
“You’re very curious why I told you this, right?” Marshal Chemekov glanced at Chu Nan, “Let me tell you, the reason is very simple. This is because there’s an opportunity to increase the status of our Earth Federation in front of us. As long as we grab this opportunity, not only will our Earth Federation’s status in the eyes of the other countries in the Milky Way increase, but our strength will also increase. Do you think we should grab this opportunity?”
‘Could it be that the Marshal is drunk?’ Chu Nan was even more puzzled, but he nodded on the surface and replied, “Of course we should grab it. However, the Marshal? What opportunity can have such a good effect?”
“You’ve seen Mu Yutong and Oville, right?” Marshal Chemekov suddenly asked.
“Yes… why?”
“Then did they mention anything to you?”
Chu Nan blinked, “What is it?”
“About the Garden Hunting Assembly held by the Declan Empire next year.”
