Chapter 712 - 715: Everything in Compliance

Chapter 712: Chapter 715: Everything in Compliance "Major, what are we going to research?" Xiao Shan Yue entered the studio, and her demeanor became serious.

"Privately, you don’t need to be too formal; you can address me as you did before."

As soon as Shitou spoke, Xiao Shan Yue was happy and said, "Brother Shitou, what are we going to research?"

"We’re going to research everything, but there is one thing now, I’m not sure if you’re interested," Shitou said.

"What is it?" Xiao Shan Yue asked curiously.

Shitou pointed to the information on the computer, and Xiao Shan Yue leaned over to look. She suddenly widened her eyes, "Brother Shitou, you want to research biological masks."

Now, Shitou had realized that there were always more things to learn, and there were always people better than him.

Having said that, Xiao Shan Yue became very interested. If they could perfect the biological masks, having such a disguise would make it much harder to be recognized while out on assignments.

Although their current disguises were very advanced, they were not flawless. This biological innovation had inspired Xiao Shan Yue.

"Men and women working together makes the work less tiring," so it was said.

Once the biological mask was developed, applying it had miraculous effects, transforming the user into someone else completely, even allowing for customizable adjustments.

Moreover, one could wear it for a long time without any issues. It adhered to the skin as naturally as human pores do to the skin itself, without any sensation of discomfort.

However, to remove it, one would need a special solution, otherwise, it couldn’t be peeled off like a mask made of human or animal skin.

"I will report this upwards, and when the time comes, you’ll be credited with a first-class merit," Shitou said.

"Brother Shitou." Xiao Shan Yue stopped Shitou, "There’s no need to credit me."

"Why?" Shitou asked, puzzled, "Don’t you want to be recognized for your achievements?"

"It’s not that, I just feel that I’m still too weak, and besides, the biological mask medicine is a joint effort, but the credit goes to you. I’m just assisting you; you should take the credit yourself."

Xiao Shan Yue said this, and Shitou frowned, to which Xiao Shan Yue hastily added, "I lack sufficient skills, it’s better to keep a low profile. If people know I can create biological mask medicine, I might face danger."

"I can protect you," Shitou said.

"I know, Brother Shitou, that you will protect me, but I don’t want to draw attention now. That way, if a dangerous situation arises, I can take them by surprise."

Understanding her thoughts, Shitou couldn’t help but softly ruffle Xiao Shan Yue’s hair, his eyes softening, "Silly girl."

Shitou might not even have been aware of his own expression then, but Xiao Shan Yue blushed and said, "I’m not silly. Although I’m not as great as you, I’m also a high-IQ genius, and besides, I’m only a year younger than you."

They were clearly only a year apart, but Shitou always acted like an elder in front of her, which was something Xiao Shan Yue felt helpless about.

She knew that since their childhood, Shitou had always taken care of her. However, he wasn’t an elder; they were peers and of almost the same age, just one year apart.

"A master’s graduate coming to the Special Forces to endure hardships, how is that not foolish?" Shitou felt that Xiao Shan Yue’s decision to join the Special Forces was not wise.

After all, unlike him and Beibei, Xiao Shan Yue was different.

But Xiao Shan Yue had been rigorously trained and had suffered a lot.

Even though she had grown stronger and more determined, Shitou felt that Xiao Shan Yue could have chosen an easier life.

Xiao Shan Yue smiled faintly; she didn’t think she was foolish, and even if she was, it was willingly so.

At that moment, Xiao Shan Yue looked up at Shitou and smiled, "Brother Shitou, you are so tall."

She stood at 170 centimeters, only reaching Shitou’s chest. She remembered that Shitou used to be only a bit taller than her, but now he was much taller.

Shitou, at 195 centimeters, was indeed quite tall. Although often training within the military, he was not the buff, muscle-bound type; instead, his build was evenly toned and lean, and he looked very dashing in his camouflage uniform.

If Xiao Shan Yue were to describe him, she would only use three words: handsome, handsome, handsome.

Xiao Shan Yue, with the look of an adoring fan, watched as Shitou smiled and handed her a key, "I’ll be out tomorrow. Keep this key — even when I’m not around, you can come over to do research."

Xiao Shan Yue’s eyes brightened, and she quickly asked, "Is there anything top-secret here that should not be disclosed?"

"It’s best to keep it unknown to outsiders. I trust you," Shitou said, boosting Xiao Shan Yue’s confidence even more.

The next day, Shitou really did leave.

Before leaving, he reported the matter of the biological mask medicine, naturally earning Shitou significant recognition.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shan Yue was very happy for Shitou, but since he was not around, whenever she had free time, she would come over to tidy up his place and continue their research.

Though the biological medicine was used for masks, now they were aiming to develop the biological medicine further to see if other uses could be discovered.

"Captain Xi," that day, having locked up Shitou’s studio, Xiao Shan Yue was called out by Amy.

"Captain Ai," Xiao Shan Yue saluted Amy.

Amy returned the salute and smiled, "I heard Colonel Gao has taken his team for field training. Why didn’t Captain Xi go along?"

Xiao Shan Yue explained, "I am a technical soldier; I follow the organization’s arrangements."

"Did Captain Xi just come from Major Gao’s studio?" Amy asked, puzzled.

Xiao Shan Yue nodded, "Yes, Major Gao isn’t here, so he gave me the key to help tidy up."

Amy’s gaze fell on the key in Xiao Shan Yue’s hand, obviously contemplating something.

At this point, Amy withdrew her attention and asked Xiao Shan Yue, "What about the undercover assignment, how are you considering it?"

"I am a technical soldier; I follow the organization’s arrangements," Xiao Shan Yue said, now sensing something off about Amy, she asked, "Is Captain Ai also going?"

Amy replied indifferently, "I follow the organization’s orders."
