Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Ambition_1
Although Qin Yaowen had many complaints in his heart,
the crux of the matter was not about the distribution of benefits but that they simply couldn’t do it.
So, Qin Yaowen straightforwardly said, “Chen, you’re overestimating us at Heiyao Security Company.”
“If we were to transport it alone, I really can’t guarantee that we could deliver the goods safely. If any significant loss occurred, we would have to compensate…”
Chen Dalong patted the other’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry about that. For the first few trips, Mad Dragon Security Company will accompany you, trying our best to eliminate those hidden dangers.”
“As for later, when you really have to carry out the mission alone, we’ll provide you with enough weapons.”
Qin Yaowen hesitated slightly, “Enough weapons?”
“Yes!” Chen Dalong, with an arm around the other’s shoulder, persuaded gently, “As soon as I get promoted to Honorary Lieutenant, I can apply for 100 automatic rifles, plus 2 heavy machine guns.”
“At that time, I can lend you half of the weapons until you’re promoted to Honorary Lieutenant. How does that sound? Fair enough, right?”
With Dragon Lord’s support, he didn’t need many firearms for his missions. To reassure the other party and get them to work confidently, offering a significant number of firearms was essential.
Hearing this, Qin Yaowen was somewhat startled—not so much by the number of firearms Chen Dalong was willing to offer him, but rather…
“Chen, are you really confident that you can be directly promoted to Honorary Lieutenant?” Qin Yaowen asked in disbelief.
To him, even becoming an Honorary Lieutenant seemed like a distant dream.
Chen Dalong didn’t answer directly but said with a smile, “Professor Liu Zhi should be about finished tallying the Mutated Beings. Let’s go over and see how many military merits we’ve earned this time.”
As they talked, they walked back, and before they even got there, they heard a burst of cheers in the distance.
Then Li Huosheng came running over, shouting before he even arrived, “Boss, we’ve got a total of 310 military merits this time.”
Although Chen Dalong had anticipated that they’d get more military merits this time than the last, he was still taken aback when he heard the actual number.
As for Qin Yaowen, who was being embraced by Chen, he stood there in a daze.
“Look, Qin, I got 251 military merits on the first trip. Add the 310 from this time, and that’s 561 military merits! An Honorary Lieutenant is already in the bag,” said Chen Dalong with a beaming smile.
“Next, as long as I earn another 939 military merits before the eradication mission is over, I can skip a rank and be directly promoted to Honorary Captain,” Chen continued cheerfully.
Even if the efficiency of the hunts slows down, five or six more trips at most should seal the deal.
It was only then that Qin Yaowen seemed to wake from a dream, taking a deep breath and saying earnestly to Chen Dalong, “Alright! Chen, let’s do it your way.”
“Oh, and my company hasn’t turned in the Mutated Insects we brought back this time. We’ve been waiting for your return. They might not be much, but please don’t look down on them,” he added.
It was the agreement from their previous cooperation: to pool the military merits earned by both companies and push all efforts to help Mad Dragon Security Company get promoted.
Even though Mad Dragon Security Company didn’t need his help now, Qin knew it was essential to show willingness.
Chen Dalong didn’t reject the offer, nodding his appreciation, “Thanks for the thought.”
Qin Yaowen immediately went to make arrangements, while Chen instructed Li Huosheng to handle the handover.
As for himself, he went to a secluded corner.
Only then did he lower his voice with some trepidation and said, “Lord Parrot, assigning the escort mission from Red Star Tech to Heiyao Security Company was something I thought of on the spot. I didn’t have time to report to you, please forgive me.”
After saying that, Chen Dalong held his breath and concentrated, waiting for a reply.
In fact, he could have reported earlier, he just did it on purpose.
This was his subtle test.
He was testing how much autonomy Lord Parrot would actually grant him.
“No problem, you can handle this kind of thing by yourself,” Mutated Parrot’s voice soon came through the Bluetooth headset into his ears.

Hearing these words, Chen Dalong excitedly clenched his fist.
He had ambitions of his own. Although Lord Parrot had been quite good to him, the bird was still just a subordinate of the Dragon King.
Chen Dalong wanted to climb higher in this organization, to gain more power.
Compared to other envoys, he had a unique advantage: his human identity.
No matter what the situation was in the future, humanity’s dominant status remained unshakable at present.
As long as he had enough autonomy, he was confident that he could create impressive achievements. As his status continued to improve, he would certainly gain the attention of the Dragon King.
Perhaps in the future, he could sit on an equal footing with Mutated Parrot, or even surpass him.
Ye Feng, naturally unaware of Chen Dalong’s ambitions, would have surely given his encouragement if he had known.
At the moment, Ye Feng was also busy, planning routes for the area Chen Dalong would clear next.
This third clearing operation was different from the previous ones, for there were two mutated trees over 100 meters tall in this area, one willow and one poplar.
Even when considering the entire Donglin Mountain Range, the degree of mutation of these two trees was nearly top-tier.
Therefore, without any surprise, they became the test subjects chosen by Ye Feng.
Before long, Chen Dalong received the information sent by Ye Feng. When he saw its content, his face couldn’t help but show a touch of surprise.
After thinking briefly, he walked toward Qin Yaowen.
“Boss, the count of mutated beings on their side is done, a total of 21 military merits,” said Li Huosheng, who was in charge of liaising, as Chen Dalong approached, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
This made Qin Yaowen’s face a bit embarrassed; the military merits they had hardly compared to the haul of the Mad Dragon Security Company and could only be considered a modest addition.
“Okay, got it,” Chen said nonchalantly, then turned to Qin Yaowen and continued, “Brother Qin, I need to trouble your Heiyao Security Company with a task later.”
Hearing this, Qin Yaowen immediately perked up and eagerly replied, “Haha, no trouble at all, just tell me what you need, Chen.”
“Alright, I’ll get straight to the point. Later on, I’ll need your company’s people to help us chop down trees.”
“Don’t worry about safety issues, we will clear the mutated beings in that area as thoroughly as possible beforehand,” Chen Dalong stated plainly.
Chopping down trees over a hundred meters tall was one thing, but transporting them was an enormous task. One tree might take an hour or two of labor, and he didn’t have that much time to spare.
Such tasks, of course, should be left to Heiyao Security Company.
Qin Yaowen: “…”
