After exchanging a few words with Feng Mengyue, Su Mo verified with Oreo to confirm that the other party was not lying.
He was completely relieved and full of trust toward her after acknowledgment from Oreo.
The overall terrain of the territory in Three Dollar Mountain made it easy to launch an offense but hard to defend. There was a vast platform halfway up the mountain, and the area was larger than the old basin.
The reason Feng Mengyue chose to set up her territory here was very simple. It was to develop rapidly!
At the same time, her elite fighters and their weapons extensively showed that she had excellent capabilities. She was evidently stronger than most territory lords in the New World.
Toward such a capable talent, when Su Mo first met her, he felt nothing more than nostalgia and the warmth of reuniting with an old friend.
Now, his attitude had changed to wanting to form stronger ties with this ally, and if possible, he wished to conquer them!
‘Feng Mengyue is talented in territory development which can make up for the basin’s shortcomings. I would love to have her join my territory as a leadership member to fill in Chen Shen’s imperfections and achieve a greater management effect!
‘I shouldn’t force it on her. I can’t forcefully kidnap her and make her submit as my subordinate if she isn’t willing. I should use this opportunity to build a good relationship with her so that we can at least become strong allies for now.
‘When the time comes, I can try to convince her to move her territory out of this mountain to the outside world. We’ll be able to take care of one another and open up trade relations.
After their conversation, Su Mo thought of different strategies to form an alliance with Feng Mengyue on the way back to his team.
Those nearby could easily access each other.
They had added each other as friends from the very beginning. She never once sought help from Su Mo, who was on her friend list despite having countless opportunities.
From this point, it could be observed that Feng Mengyue was not one to rely on the help of others, nor would she place her hopes on someone else.
The chances of her wanting to submit to another territory were low.
However, Su Mo had no intention of giving up his attempt to convince her. He summoned Feng Tianmin to report the current situation. Then, they officially departed for Feng Mengyue’s territory.
“It’s rare to see such a beautiful scenario on a mountain!”
The road up the mountain was steep and about 20 degrees. It was difficult for one to stand, let alone live under such conditions.
On the way to Feng Mengyue’s territory, Feng Long, who was beside Su Mo, thought the territory would be similar to the previous two that lived inside caves.
However, when they traveled for a few hundred meters and turned a corner to the backside of the mountain, a massive platform appeared in their field of vision!
“Head straight forward, and you will be able to reach the fourth mountain of Eight Peak Mountain.
“However, most people who pass by reference to both these mountains as one under our territory.”
Seeing everyone shocked, the commander stood up proudly and began to explain.
“Out territory may not be huge and might seem a little desolate, but it’s because you missed the right time.
“Before the snowfall, the fruit tree we cultivated were transplanted and grew everywhere on these mountains. It was spectacular!”
She pointed to a few places, wanting to show off, but after seeing the snow covering each part of the mountains, she could only stick her tongue out with a bitter expression.
“By the way, I haven’t formally introduced myself!
“I’m the cousin of our territory leader, Feng Mengyue. We’re blood-related! My name is Guan Yuan. My nickname is Peace, but most people call me Guan Yuan.”
When she was silent, Guan Yuan seemed to have a similar temperament as Feng Mengyue.
Both of them were strong and capable women in the doomsday wasteland that was willing to sacrifice to achieve complete the bigger picture.
They were not inferior to a male territory lord in terms of talent and management skills.
However, when she spoke, there was a clear difference between them.
Feng Mengyue was more conservative and gentle. Her actions were very mysterious and mature. She was a qualified territory lord who would serve as a perfect role model. Whatever territory that she governed would sure bloom.
Guan Yuan was more eccentric and playful, like a child who had not grown up. Although she had outstanding commanding abilities, she was still slightly immature. She was a little childish like Su Chan. That was more optimistic.
“Guan Yuan! That’s a great name! It’s as pretty as your cousin’s!”
“Well, I suppose I wouldn’t have to introduce myself again? You can just call me by my name in the future, or if you’d like, you can go ahead and call me Brother Su! You don’t have to be so polite with me!”
“By the way, I was curious whether you have received military training on earth?”
Although Su Mo won the operation, he was still curious about her background.
Guan Yuan did not hide the fact and nodded to his question.
“Yeap! You’re right about that, Brother Su! I’ve trained in a twelve-year course in a military academy on earth. After I finished my nine-year compulsory education until junior high school, I went directly to a military academy. I studied battlefield informatics, mainly specializing in intelligence hacking.
She wore a nostalgic expression when she noticed Su Mo was interested in her past.
“However, there were too many agents in this field, so we could only go through stimulations every day. It was meaningless, so I applied to transfer to field command after passing a series of examinations.
“I never expected to be able to use the commanding skills I’ve learned on earth to perform on such a massive platform in the wasteland.
Guan Yuan was full of joy at the mention of her decision to change her course of studies.
Following her original course, her skills would have been wasted since there were no computers or networks. There was simply no use for information warfare in the current situation.
She would be equal to an ordinary resident that was even inferior to a resident who could do hard labor.
However, because of her choice to further her education down commanding, she could skip countless thresholds and reach one of the highest ranked positions in a territory. It only took a step for her to achieve such a high rank.
“Twelve years? As far as I’m aware, the only twelve-year military course in Huaxia seems to be…”
Feng Long, who was intrigued by their conversation, sneaked over and interrupted their conversation.
They were both in the same field, but Feng Long had gone to an ordinary military academy after his college entrance examination. He had only studied for four years maximum.
He simply could not compare to Guan Yuan’s education.
Hearing Feng Long’s envious question, Guan Yuan raised her chest and answered proudly, “Yes, the only twelve-year course in Huaxia is at the National Defense University of Science and Technology!
“You better not question if I got in because of connections. The National Defense of Science and Technology University recruits juvenile classes every year. As long as you pass their exams, no matter your previous status, you’ll be awarded funding to enroll in the university. I depended on myself to get in!
Feng Long nodded with a look of admiration. “I can attest that what she said is true!”
The university that she had mentioned was the top-ranked military academy. The opportunity was every military academy student’s lifelong dream to enroll.
Upon hearing the familiar university name, Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked the question that popped into his mind.
“The National Defense of Science and Technology University? Peace, do you possibly know a girl that goes by the name Zhong Qingshu?
“She’s about the same age as Feng Mengyue.”
