I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms-Chapter 386 - 337: I Am a Military General, Unsuitable For Scheming..._4

"I’ve researched Chen Miao’s past and found that there were hardly any records of his early life, as if he just popped out of nowhere, and he first emerged in Fengtian City. This at least indicates he must have some feelings for Fengtian City,"

"And from start to finish, he’s only ever shopped at one Supernatural Grocery Store."

"This shows that Chen Miao is sentimental."

"Afterward, with Chen Miao’s support, that Supernatural Grocery Store grew larger and larger, and it has even become the largest Supernatural Store in Fengtian City and the surrounding cities."

"Almost everyone, when they see a post about someone they know online, will take a closer look."

"It’s human nature."

"Like when you suddenly see your friend on the nightly news, wouldn’t you take a closer look? You definitely would."

"And I posted a lot of flattering posts about the Haina Supernatural Store, using those to first grab Chen Miao’s attention. Then, in the linked posts below, I wrote promotional articles about you, Chi Qiu."

"Chen Miao’s memories of you might not be very deep, but he certainly has some."

"In those posts, I specifically mentioned the first time you had a conflict with Miao, which could deepen the memory imprint he has of you. Then I mentioned myself more in the promotional articles, saying you were only able to rise up with the help of me, your military counselor."

"Gradually... Chen Miao would naturally come to know of me as your military counselor. When Chen Miao realizes he lacks such a strategist by his side, he’ll naturally turn to you first to request one."

"..."

After standing still in a daze for a while, Chi Qiu finally mumbled in confusion, "Are you sure Chen Miao wants you as his military counselor, not to deal with you? Can you really deduce so much from just one sentence?"

"No."

Ke Gou shook his head, "It’s not just from that one sentence, but from the recent actions of Chen Miao, that I deduce he needs me as a military counselor."

"But if you become the military counselor, what about me?"

"You’ll come with me."

"Me, go? I can’t be a military counselor." Chi Qiu instantly balked, the idea of him being a military counselor was ludicrous. He knew himself well; even doing multiplication of three-digit numbers gave him a headache, let alone being a military counselor.

"Boss, are you overthinking it again?"

Ke Gou sighed heavily and said helplessly, "Let me ask you, Qiu, if Chen Miao wants me as his military counselor and I immediately go to him, what do you think he’d think of me?"

"He’d make full use of you?"

"He’d definitely make full use of me in the short term, as he needs someone like me by his side right now. But he wouldn’t think highly of me. After all, no one likes a servant of two masters, right?"

"If I can easily switch sides to be with you today, could I not just as easily go to someone else tomorrow? Trust can never be high in such a case."

"But if I say that I’m loyal to only one boss my entire life and won’t go to anyone else, it not only shows my personal loyalty and trustworthiness but also, if you then align with Chen Miao, I can legitimately assist him with my strategies without being labeled a turncoat, and Chen Miao will still value me."

"At the same time, your importance is also shown."

"Let’s assume I’m an ox; then, Boss, you’re the owner of this ox. Your role is to harness me, and then we join Chen Miao’s team together, boarding this huge ship!"

"Wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

"Eh?"

After thinking hard for a while, Ke Gou suddenly nodded with a spark in his eyes, "This idea isn’t bad at all, Ke Gou, you truly are my most trusted military counselor. Your brain really works wonders."

"You can say that again."

Ke Gou opened his mouth with a chuckle, "Do you know what Chen Miao’s biggest puzzle is right now? It’s missing the buying frenzy after the last S-class secret realm ended. He must be pretty pissed off about it, and for that, I’ve long prepared a meeting gift."

"Just one move is all it takes to help Chen Miao solve this problem."

"That impressive?"

"Naturally."

"Alright, you’ve done enough pretending for now, tell me how to reply to the message."

"You just say like this, let me think..."

Just then—

A playful voice suddenly sounded in their ears, and Chen Miao, without any indication of when, appeared sitting on a nearby stone bench, hands resting on his cane, and with a smile that was not quite a smile, looked at Ke Gou and Chi Qiu: "No need to think any further."

"You guessed it all right, I am indeed quite angry about missing out on that affair."

"Just tell me directly how you plan to use one move to help me resolve this issue."

With those words,

Chi Qiu and Ke Gou stiffened on the spot, their legs trembling as they incredulously turned to face Chen Miao and his party, wondering if their scheming behind his back had all been overheard.

Especially Ke Gou, who at this moment wished he could bury his head inside itself.

Chi Qiu’s throat bobbed slightly, and he forced out a smile uglier than a cry, his voice trembling as he looked at Chen Miao, "Miao, how come you’re here?"

"Us?"

Hungry Monkey and Zhou Shen, arms crossed and wearing a sly look, stood behind Chen Miao facing Chi Qiu, "We’ve been right in this corner the whole time, not moving an inch. Right after Miao sent you that message, we saw you two come over here and start whispering."

"You didn’t even try to hide."

"If only you had looked up and glanced around, you would have seen us."

"And that guy Ke Gou, what a schemer, huh? And to think I even frequently share those posters with Miao, so it turns out you’ve been deliberately posting them for Miao to see. Come on, tell us, what else don’t we know?"

"What else have you been doing behind our backs?"

Zhou Shen then chuckled, "At least you two are right about one thing, Miao is indeed a big ship. But whether you can get on board or not depends on your skills."

"And no, you’re not a servant of two houses either."

"After all, joining the Tomb Guardians doesn’t require a name change, especially when you don’t have a name in the first place."

An unfunny joke, but Ke Gou still forced a wry smile in response.

At this moment, he felt like dying, it was as if he had been discussing behind his brother and sister-in-law how his sister-in-law’s bottom didn’t seem very round, and after a long discussion, turning around to find his brother and sister-in-law standing right behind him. And that wasn’t even the worst part, the worst was that his sister-in-law was staring at him with a smile, as if she was waiting expectantly for him to continue.

Just like Chen Miao at this moment.

Chen Miao was now smilingly staring at him, obviously waiting for him to reveal the solution. Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

You have to meet the parents sooner or later, and although this encounter came unexpectedly, since the opportunity was there, he wasn’t about to show weakness. Ke Gou took a deep breath to compose himself, his expression serious as he spoke clearly and deliberately.

"To solve this problem, it takes just one move!"
