Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

However, since the members of Stone's squad were all personally trained by Jiang Nian, and even they were helpless now, it meant that the tank had indeed encountered a major problem.

"Brother Jiang, look, this big guy was sent by the tank company, it's quite old. We replaced some parts, but the overall coordination is off, and it doesn't perform as well as it used to. So, after careful consideration, we've decided to retire this big guy..."

Seeing that Jiang Nian's gaze was fixed on the tank in front of him, Shi Tou took the initiative to explain.

As members of the repair unit, we all have a deep passion for repairing various equipment.

For them, being able to fix a piece of equipment makes them very happy.

Asking them to voluntarily give up repairing a piece of equipment, or even to make the decision to retire this behemoth, is simply too difficult for them.

However, Stone also knew that his group was incapable of repairing this huge thing.

If Jiang Nian doesn't return, the tank company can't keep waiting indefinitely, and the only outcome will be to retire the tank.

Now that Jiang Nian is back, Shi Tou feels that their pillar of strength has returned. He believes that as long as Jiang Nian is there, even if the tank is about to be scrapped, Jiang Nian's magical hands can save it.

"Uh, I understand. Give me a copy of your test report. I'll take a look at the report first, and then we'll think about how to fix this big guy."

Jiang Nian coughed and said calmly to Shi Tou.

Even if he could fix it himself, it would take time, right? Before actually testing the tank, Jiang Nian said he dared not make any promises.

Jiang Nian's tank repair skills are only at a beginner level.

To be honest, even Jiang Nian himself wasn't very confident about properly repairing a tank that was about to be decommissioned.

Doesn't the system assign tasks to itself?
If I want to improve myself, I should at least upgrade all these repair skills to an advanced level, right?

Now, basic skills are no longer sufficient to meet Jiang Nian's needs!
Shi Tou quickly brought over a thick stack of documents.

There's nothing we can do; this behemoth has undergone countless repairs before, and this time the damage was so severe that it reached the point of near retirement. But regardless, the person operating the tank still hopes the repair team can do their utmost to fix it.

That's a sentiment.

There's definitely a lot of information.

"Alright, you guys go and rest first. I can look at these documents myself."

Jiang Nian said that instead of spending time looking at these materials, it would be better to do a comprehensive test yourself. At least the results would be absolutely accurate and much more reliable than these materials.

Shi Tou and the others were used to Jiang Nian's style, so they didn't say anything. However, before leaving, everyone looked at Jiang Nian with hope in their eyes.

Haha, if Jiang Nian can repair this tank that's about to be retired, their repair company's reputation will definitely rise significantly.

The repair company gained a good reputation, and the team members themselves felt proud of it.

"Respected host, system task issued, system task issued—"

When Jiang Nian was the only one left in the repair room, the system's voice sounded as usual.

Jiang Nian rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed. He felt that the system didn't respect him, its host, at all.

"I understand. The task is to fix this big guy in front of us, right? I get it!"

Before the system could finish speaking, Jiang Nian interrupted it directly and continued the conversation himself, which was quite unusual for him.

"..."

"Dear host, this mission requires you to completely disassemble this tank within three hours."

The system probably didn't expect that Jiang Nian would interrupt it before it had even finished issuing the task. After a moment of silence, it continued seriously.

"What? Break this huge thing apart?"

Jiang Nian was stunned, raising her eyebrows and asking incredulously.

Why does he feel that the system's tasks are getting more and more bizarre?

Repairing a tank is one thing, but taking this big guy apart completely is no easy task.

Even Jiang Nian, who has mastered basic tank repair skills, can't guarantee that he can reassemble this thing completely.

"Yes. No one but the host can repair this tank and bring it back to life. There are too many small parts inside that need to be replaced and maintained. Without disassembling it again, a complete repair would be too time-consuming. The host's time is precious and cannot be wasted. After all, time is money, and money can't buy time."

The system gave a long, rambling explanation this time, and even came up with a few famous quotes.

Jiang Nian's lips twitched a few times. Why did he feel that this system was becoming more and more human-like?

However, no matter how frustrated Jiang Nian was at this moment, he had no other choice.

The timer starts the moment the system task is issued!
Not daring to waste any more time, Jiang Nian didn't hesitate any longer, picked up his toolbox, and focused on getting to work.

It has to be said that men who work hard are the most handsome.

Once Jiang Nian gets into work mode, he completely shuts out all the noise around him and focuses all his attention on the big guy in front of him.

Three hours is a huge challenge for him to completely disassemble this thing!
Shi Tou came over and took a look. After realizing that he couldn't hear what Jiang Nian was saying, he stopped bothering Jiang Nian.

Anyway, Jiang Nian knew in her heart that if she was really tired, she would naturally stop and rest.

That's why Jiang Nian didn't hear what Shi Tou said.

"Brother Jiang, Tang Xinyi and another stunning beauty are here to see you. They insisted on seeing you as soon as they found out you were back. It's hard for us brothers to refuse a beauty's request, and they won't leave, so I'm bringing them over now."

As for Shi Tou, he had already said what he wanted to say, and whether Jiang Nian heard it or not was no longer his concern.

During the time Jiang Nian was away, Tang Xinyi would often bring another beautiful woman to the repair shop to look for Jiang Nian. Even a blind man could see that the two women had feelings for Jiang Nian.

With the idea that "you can't ruin someone's marriage", Shi Tou said that everything he did was for Jiang Nian's good. Otherwise, if Jiang Nian couldn't find a wife, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

They're in the army every day, so finding a girlfriend is already difficult enough. Now that a beautiful girl has taken a liking to Jiang Nian, they, as his brothers, have no choice but to help her out!

Shi Tou decisively brought Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying to the repair room.

"Brother Jiang is busy inside. I have other things to do. If you want to find him, just go in. But Brother Jiang might not be able to hear you when he's working, so please wait inside for a while. He should be done soon."

Shi Tou's task was simply to bring Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying over. Anyway, the two beauties only wanted to see Jiang Nian, and they didn't care what Jiang Nian was doing.

After explaining, Shi Tou left without waiting for Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying to ask any questions, leaving Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying looking at each other, not quite understanding the meaning of Shi Tou's words.

It's quite unbelievable that a friendship could develop between two women. Liu Ying came to the Southeast Military Region specifically for Jiang Nian, but she never expected that Jiang Nian would go straight on a mission after just meeting her, without even saying goodbye.

If Liu Ying hadn't gone to the repair company to find Jiang Nian, she wouldn't have known about this. She would still be foolishly waiting for Jiang Nian to take the initiative to ask her out and show her around the military region.

Because she didn't know how long Jiang Nian's mission would take, Liu Ying cleverly asked many people indirectly and learned that the mission shouldn't take too long, so she chose to stay in the Southeast Military Region to wait for Jiang Nian to return.

When Tang Xinyi came to the repair shop to find Jiang Nian, she ran into Liu Ying. Although the two women should logically be rivals, strangely enough, they hit it off immediately and got along quite well.

So during Liu Ying's time in the military region, Tang Xinyi stayed with her. The two women did most of their time by going to the repair company to ask if Jiang Nian had returned.

They hadn't held out much hope today, but Shi Tou's loud voice revealed that Jiang Nian had returned.

The two women decided that no matter what Jiang Nian was doing, they had to see him today.

But when they entered the repair room and saw Jiang Nian's serious and meticulous figure as he worked, they were both stunned.

A man who is focused on his work is not only handsome, but also most charming at that moment!
Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying's eyes lit up.

Although Tang Xinyi had seen Jiang Nian repair her grandfather's pistol before, it was still far from being as good as disassembling a tank.

At this moment, Jiang Nian made Tang Xinyi's heart beat faster. In this quiet environment, she could even hear her own heartbeat.

Liu Ying felt the same way. She had accompanied Jiang Nian on experiments, so she understood even more how irresistible the masculine charm Jiang Nian exuded while working was.

"Finally finished dismantling this behemoth! I'm getting better and better!"

After stretching, Jiang Nian felt relaxed and casually uttered this self-indulgent remark.

Anyway, he was the only one in the entire repair room, so he wasn't afraid of being laughed at.

Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying hadn't been standing there long when they saw that Jiang Nian's work seemed to be indefinitely delayed and showed no signs of ending, so they found chairs and sat down.

Before the two women had been sitting for long, Jiang Nian suddenly stood up and said something that left them both stunned.

To be honest, neither of them had known Jiang Nian for very long. But one thing was certain—they really hadn't realized that Jiang Nian was such a narcissistic person.

After exchanging a glance, they both saw a hint of mischief in each other's eyes.

"Comrade Jiang Nian, you are truly amazing!"

Tang Xinyi spoke first, her tone filled with admiration—this praise was entirely genuine.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Comrade Jiang Nian not only does well in experiments, but also has such a talent for repairing equipment. He is truly extraordinary!"

Liu Ying followed up on Tang Xinyi's words, praising her with a hint of teasing, but one thing was genuine: she truly admired Jiang Nian.

???

When Tang Xinyi's voice rang out, countless question marks appeared in Jiang Nian's mind. He naturally recognized Tang Xinyi's voice, which was why he felt unusually embarrassed—he finally had a moment of self-admiration, and of all times, Tang Xinyi had to witness it?

But why would Tang Xinyi come to the repair room?

Before Jiang Nian could figure it out, Liu Ying's voice rang out as well.

At that moment, even if Jiang Nian tried his best to remain calm, he was about to lose his composure.

Damn it, what's going on? Why are two women in the repair shop? And what's worse, they both witnessed my narcissistic moment.

Jiang Nian felt that his image in front of the two beauties was completely ruined.

Calm down, calm down!
After telling himself to stay calm, Jiang Nian turned around and looked at Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying with a smile.

"I was unaware of the presence of you two beauties. Please excuse my humble amusement."

Jiang Nian remained calm and said with a smile.

With a "pfft," Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying burst into laughter simultaneously.

Jiang Nian was speechless. He became withdrawn and didn't want to say a word.

"Um... Comrade Jiang Nian, I'm sorry, I wasn't laughing at you. It's just... I just think that your narcissistic side is kind of cute!"

Tang Xinyi clutched her stomach and laughed heartily. Seeing Jiang Nian's displeased expression, she couldn't help but explain while still laughing.

It would have been better if she hadn't explained; the explanation only made Jiang Nian even less inclined to speak.

What the hell could he say? What else could he say? Was he supposed to admit that he was indeed narcissistic?

His awkward appearance only made Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying laugh even harder.

Liu Ying truly never expected that Jiang Nian had this side to him.

When they first met, she felt that Jiang Nian was too calm, as if nothing could make him change his expression. Even during the nuclear reactor experiment, Jiang Nian remained calm, as if the experiment was guaranteed to succeed and would never fail as long as he took action.

It was rare to see such a human side of Jiang Nian, so how could Liu Ying not find it novel?
Seeing Jiang Nian's disapproving gaze fixed on her, Liu Ying waved her hands repeatedly, "I think Comrade Jiang Nian is quite cute! Don't always look so serious and indifferent in the future, it wouldn't be bad to be a little more narcissistic. After all, you have the right to be."

Liu Ying was explaining very seriously.

"..."

If Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying weren't women, Jiang Nian felt he would have already walked away.

"What brings you to the repair room? This isn't a suitable place for two ladies."

Seeing that Tang Xinyi and Liu Ying couldn't stop smiling, Jiang Nian had no choice but to change the subject and take them away from the area. At least once they were out of there, the matter should be considered over.

"We're here to find you! Comrade Jiang Nian, you're such a busy person, we probably wouldn't have found you if we hadn't come here! Shouldn't you keep your promise to go on a date with me?"

Tang Xinyi spoke first, disregarding Liu Ying's presence, and directly brought up the date.

You see, their date was cut short before it even started because Jiang Nian was on a mission. To this day, Jiang Nian still owes her a date!

"Um, well... well... I've been so busy lately. Let's talk about this in a couple of days, okay?"

Hearing Tang Xinyi say this, Jiang Nian's face was also full of guilt.

Ultimately, the date was delayed because of him. He had thought he could make it up after returning from that mission, but other things came up, and the date was postponed again and again. (End of Chapter)
