Chapter 273 Special Treatment for Honored Guests
Exhausted from the battle and the long hours of travel, Liang He managed to get a good night's sleep even while on rebel territory.

When she woke up, it was past lunchtime, but fortunately, Commander Nick was hosting a banquet in the evening, so she didn't have to worry about missing it.

"I wonder if we can go out and find something to eat?"

After washing up, Liang He was hesitating whether to put on the clothes she had changed out of yesterday again when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Ms. Liang He, we are the housekeepers assigned to you by the army commander to take care of your daily life. Is it convenient for you to come in?"

housekeeper?

Is it possible that they're using close-range surveillance?
Although she was complaining in her heart, Liang He's hands didn't stop moving.

She opened the door, looked at the woman at the head of the room, and tilted her head in feigned confusion.

"you are?"

"Hello Ms. Liang He, I am your housekeeper, Ya Sha."

After giving a brief self-introduction, Aysa stepped aside slightly, allowing the people behind her to bring the things into the room.

"These are all daily necessities and clothing that the army commander specifically instructed us to prepare for you."

Since they're considered honored guests, their treatment is naturally different.

They prepared a copy for Elius as well, and sent it over that morning.

"Thank you."

Looking at the two long rows of clothes, Liang He's eyes darkened slightly; it seemed that her enemy knew her better than she had imagined.

Even the clothes prepared were mostly in line with her usual style of dress.

Simple, comfortable, and lightweight.

"This dress was specially prepared for you tonight at the banquet. They are in charge of your hair and makeup."

Perhaps considering that Liang He came from Blue Star and usually prefers to be with women, all these people were female, which made it difficult for Liang He to refuse them coldly.

However, after touching her slightly deflated stomach, she felt it was more important to fill her stomach first.

"These things aren't urgent; I'd like to have lunch first."

Everyone knows tonight is a trap; no matter how carefully you dress up, it's all for naught.

For Liang He, being well-fed and well-hydrated is now more important.

"I'm sorry, it was my oversight. I'll inform the kitchen immediately to prepare it for you."

Thanks to Liang He, even the rebel army opened the Blue Star Canteen.

With better food, the rebels trained even harder, competing daily to see who could train longer and complete their training better in order to receive extra food from the instructors.

Can I just eat in your cafeteria?

Liang He asked tentatively.

She wanted to know her level of freedom at the rebel headquarters, or whether she was confined to her room and not allowed to go anywhere.

"of course can."

An unexpected, yet not entirely surprising, answer.

"The army commander specifically instructed that within the headquarters area, except for restricted areas, Ms. Liang He can go wherever she wants."

Commander Nick was quite confident and not afraid at all that Liang He would take this opportunity to find out the secrets of the rebel headquarters.

Of course, this move also had a probing element to it, and a feeling of taking the opportunity to win people's hearts.

"Then please lead the way."

Liang He casually picked out a set of clothes that looked good, went back to the bathroom to change, and then tied her loose hair into a high ponytail, making her look neat and refreshing.

As Aysa carefully observed Liang He's every move, her eyes flickered slightly. She had to admit that Liang He was not quite the same as she had imagined.

She thought Liang He would feel uncomfortable, scared, and might even stay curled up in her room for a sense of security.

Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to take the first step, treating the rebel territory as an ordinary place and casually observing it.

"Your architecture is quite interesting." Liang He had missed the mealtime, and when she arrived at the cafeteria, there was no one else there except the chef.

After she leisurely finished her late lunch, she started taking a walk to digest.

Are there any fun places to visit around here?

Liang He strolled leisurely in the garden and stopped in front of the fountain.

Feeling the questioning or probing gazes around her, she casually picked up a handful of pebbles from the ground and threw them into the fountain.

"The army commander took into account the intense training everyone usually undergoes, and specially set up recreational areas for everyone to relax."

Excessive mental tension can hinder training and even lead to dangerous thoughts. Therefore, Commander Nick specially arranged for a recreational area to be set up, and even a psychological counseling room was set up.

After listening to Asha's introduction, Liang He discovered that this Commander Nick was very good at using small favors to win people's hearts.

While seemingly showing consideration for subordinates, the real purpose is to make them more loyal and dedicated.

"Can I go take a look?"

Since you're just killing time anyway, why not go out and have some fun and relax?

"Of course, there's nowhere you can't go except for restricted areas."

It seems that Asha and her team carried out Commander Nick's orders very thoroughly, without any doubt or hesitation.

Led by Yasha, Lianghe followed her into a building that looked very cyberpunk.

As soon as she entered, she saw the boxing ring set up in the center area.

"Is this also a way to relax?"

For ordinary people, boxing might have a relaxing effect.

But given the rebels' rigorous training, this seems more like extra practice, doesn't it? And judging from their modus operandi, they'll probably only be more ruthless.

"The boxing ring is a rather unique attraction."

Unlike other relaxation activities, the boxing ring has a reward system.

Similar to climbing a ranking list, the higher your ranking, the stronger your abilities are, and the greater your chances of being noticed by higher-ups.

This can be seen as a shortcut for the lower-level rebels to rise above their circumstances.

"In addition, the headquarters stipulates that a special skills competition will be held every six months to select special talents."

Rick, who brought Liang He back this time, was noticed by his superiors and entrusted with an important task through a special skills competition.

Asha carefully considered Commander Nick's instructions and could tell that he wanted Liang He to understand the rebels better, so that she would be willing to serve them.

Therefore, when faced with Liang He's questions, as long as they did not involve secrets, she would answer them without reservation, and even intentionally or unintentionally spread the benefits of joining the rebel army to Liang He.

Will anyone be going on stage today?

After listening to Yasha's introduction, Liang He's curiosity was piqued.

Commander Nick's brainwashing of his subordinates was truly omnipresent, like a gentle rain, subtly influencing them and making them wholeheartedly follow him without them even realizing it.

To put it bluntly, these systems are like raising Gu poison. They use a group of ordinary Gu to raise a Gu king, who then serves the king. The other Gu have to be grateful and thank him for giving them the opportunity to be eaten.

"Everyone is busy with the dinner arrangements today. I'll make arrangements for you another time when there's an opportunity."

"Ok."

Liang He sighed in disappointment.

It seems that Commander Nick takes this banquet very seriously. No wonder there are hardly any people here; they've all been busy preparing for the banquet.

"It's already past three o'clock. The banquet starts promptly at six o'clock. Would you like to continue strolling around?"

Yasha intentionally reminded Liang He to pay attention to the schedule.

Upon hearing this, Liang He naturally couldn't continue wandering around aimlessly, lest she cause Ya Sha and the others to get scolded.

After all, she'll probably have to stay here for a while, and it wouldn't be good if she got into trouble.

"Okay, let's go back first."
