Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating-Chapter 153 - 153 Great Martial Master-level Chef

153 Great Martial Master-level Chef

Lu Yu frowned and said, “I will take responsibility for my own actions. Since I did this, I will naturally not make other people wipe my ass for me.”

In truth, when he destroyed the four big dojos, killed Yan Hong and Qin Cheng, Lu Yu did these with the intention of exacting personal revenge. He also acknowledged this himself, and saw no need to conceal anything. Otherwise, if he continued to suffer in silence, Yan Hong would think that he was a weakling who could be pushed around.

“You think too highly of yourself. What makes you think you have the ability to take responsibility for this matter?”

Wang Lu scolded Lu Yu with a laugh. Within a short span of one year, this guy had broken through from the Martial Arts Warrior level to the Intermediate Great Grand Master level. This was a genius whose strength was comparable to a War General, and his future prospects were infinitely bright. Wang Lu was determined to retain this guy at all costs.

Lu Yu also knew that Wang Lu had not finished what he wanted to say, and he waited quietly.

True to his expectations, Wang Lu finished the cup of tea in his hand, then said, “Before this, I have already sent my men to secretly investigate Lunan City.”

“The four big dojos and the City Lord’s Office were very unpopular among the citizens in Lunan City. However, just this reason alone is not enough to exonerate you.”

“The fact that the Ying family dispatched a War General to Lunan City seemed a bit excessive. This point raises a lot of suspicion. There must be some underlying secret behind this. If you find out this secret, it will become a big bargaining chip for you.”

“I reckon it won’t be long before Ying Qufeng applies for an arrest warrant. You better get prepared to return to Lunan City as soon as possible to investigate the City Lord’s Office in detail.”

Wang Lu’s analysis was flawless. Lu Yu was very touched. He bowed and said, “Thank you very much, General Wang.”

Wang Lu said solemnly, “Kid, there are not many people in the Federation with your level of talent. You must not disappoint me. In the past one year, your cultivation progress has been smooth-flowing and you may inevitably become impetuous. Remember to keep an open and modest mind. Only then can you continue to progress steadily.”

Lu Yu nodded his head.

In his 90 over years, he had stagnated for more than half of his life. His star had already been polished until it was tough and introverted. This small bit of trouble was nothing.

However, when he heard from Wang Lu that there were talented people like him in the Federation, though not many, he got a big shock.

If one recalled, he was able to advance so rapidly because he had the help of the Gluttony Talent. The other talents within the Federation were still able to match his achievements. This simply proved that in this world, there would always be someone better than himself.

After bidding farewell, he found that Song Yu and Qin Yong had been waiting for him outside for a long time.

“Hahaha… Captain Lu, congratulations! From now onwards, you are the Captain of the 4th Battalion. I wonder who will then take over the position of the Captain of the 4th squadron?” Qin Yong said with a hearty laugh.

Lu Yu said, “Pack up now. I have to leave the Gamma Military Zone for a while.”

Song Yu and Qin Yong got a shock. Seeing that Lu Yu appeared to be genuinely in a hurry, they were even more puzzled.

Song Yu teased him by saying, “Even if it’s really urgent, you haven’t even met the members of the 4th Battalion yet. What happens when the time comes to fight together but you and your team members still don’t know each other?”

Lu Yu thought she had a point. After all, he was already the Captain of the 4th Battalion. He could not act like a hands-off leader. He would still have to meet the members of the 4th Battalion.

A squadron had more than 30 members, while a platoon had about 150 to 200 members.

A battalion had more than 500 members. A Military Unit had about 3000 to 5000 heads. The Federation’s various military zones were basically structured around this framework.

When Lu Yu arrived at the base of the 4th Battalion, the members instantly rose to salute him, shouting out in unison, “Good day, Captain!”

In this 4th Battalion, all the squadron captains were Martial Master experts, the platoon captains were Great Martial Masters while the battalion captains were Grand Masters.

In total, there were 30 Martial Masters, 5 Great Martial Masters, and 1 Grand Master. Lu Yu felt quite happy with such combat prowess.

“Members in every team from the rank of platoon captain and above stay back. The rest of you can go and do whatever you want,” Lu Yu said with a slight smile.

However, no one obeyed his order. Instead, they turned back and looked at Niu Xianzu, hesitation written all over their faces.

Only one platoon captain stepped forward with a beaming face and said, “Captain Lu, it is me. Li Tieniu, Sir!

A look of surprise flashed across Lu Yu’s eyes. He could never have imagined that the big, brawny guy would be a platoon captain.

As the original acting battalion captain, Niu Xianzu was understandably unwilling to concede to Lu Yu, who had parachuted into this place from nowhere to take over his position. However, he still had to extend some courtesy to the new captain and barked out, “What are you guys staring at? The rest of you go and do what you should be doing!”

Only then did the rest of the members in the 4th Battalion dispersed.

When he saw this, Lu Yu remained unperturbed, but Song Yu began to worry for him.

This character, Niu Xianzu, had quite a reputation in the 4th Battalion. It would not be easy for Lu Yu, the newly appointed Captain of the 4th Battalion, to establish his authority.

Lu Yu was naturally aware of this. However, managing people, especially managing a group of cultivators, was never his forte to begin with. He was only here to get to know everyone.

“Let me introduce myself again. I am Lu Yu, your new Battalion Captain. My rules are very simple. Don’t go overboard when you do anything, and I won’t hold it against you.”

“I will also not micromanage you guys. I won’t inquire in great detail what you should be training on or what you are doing.” 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

As Lu Yu spoke, he looked at Niu Xianzu and said, “Niu Xianzu, you are the most experienced member in this battalion, and other than myself, you are also the most powerful in terms of strength. You shall take on the position of the deputy captain in this battalion.”

“You shall take charge of all matters, and you just need to report to me regularly, that’s all.” ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Still feeling indignant inwardly, Niu Xianzu suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of incredulity. He thought he had heard wrong and asked,” Lu… Lu Yu, can you repeat that?”

Qin Yong frowned at once. This guy Niu Xianzu actually called Lu Yu by his name. He was about to explode in anger when Song Yu gestured to him with a shake of her head. Only then did he calm down.

Lu Yu explained patiently, “It’s better that you take charge of all matters. You have the authority to decide.”

After ascertaining once more, Niu Xianzu was shocked beyond words. He had thought that after Lu Yu took office, he would immediately cast him aside in order to fortify his own authority.

Yet, Lu Yu did not do this. In fact, he even assigned an important role to Niu Xianzu, making him the deputy captain. In reality, the role of the deputy captain was not much different from the captain’s role.

However, after his excitement subsided, he quickly calmed down and realized that this was a trick Lu Yu used to win over people.

Lu Yu didn’t pay him much attention. He promoted Song Yu to be the Captain of the 4th squadron, and Qin Yong was now the Vice Captain. All the existing platoon captains remained in their positions.

Finally, Lu Yu asked, “Are there any chefs among you guys here?”

As the crowd looked on in bewilderment, Li Tieniu raised his hand and shouted, “Yes, of course there is. I am a chef!”

Lu Yu got a big shock. It was just a casual question that he tossed out, but to his surprise, there was really a chef at the Great Martial Master level. However, no matter how one looked at Li Tieniu’s appearance, he resembled a Hercules more than a chef.
