Super Soldier

“I’m almost done learning what I need to. Tell me, what’s your plan after this?”

Xiao Bing was wearing a tight-fitting samurai suit with a Katana in his hand. He sat down and put the knife under his feet.

Monitor looked at Xiao Bing and said, “Not bad. You look like a real samurai. As for the language, I won’t worry about you at all because I remember that you learned eight languages while in Dragon Teeth.

“Oh, Kang Zeli gave the Katana to you? I heard that he obtained the knife by accident when he was studying in Country R. He cherished it as a treasure. Anyway, it is a great knife.”

Xiao Bing said, “A precious knife is worthy of its warrior. Old Kang liked me, so he gave it to me.”

“Fine. You are as shameless as ever. I will fill you in with some details that you need to pay careful attention to. First of all, you have to put the mask on.”

Monitor stood up and walked to Xiao Bing carrying a wooden box. Xiao Bing glanced at the box and opened it when Monitor signaled him to. There was a very thin mask inside. Xiao Bing was familiar with it because he wore it several times in previous missions.

In normal cases, the mask would not be made of real human skin. It was very disrespectful to the dead. But it looked very much like human skin. It would change the features of the wearer slightly, but it would not look stiff. Xiao Bing took it out and put it on, and he became a totally different person.

At this moment, Xiao Bing looked very casual, different from his masculine character before. But his eyes would never change. They were still sharp.

“Very good.” Monitor praised, “Sometimes we have to thank the current technology for being so developed. This is your ID card. Keep it safe. Remember, after you reach Jingdong City, you will be another person. Your name is Aoki Ichiro, 27 years old, an orphan since childhood. You have been wandering to different cities in Country R to learn skills. You are an unrestrained person with skillful technique.”

“Okay, I know what I should do.”

“I have already bought you a ticket. Your flight is at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. You have to be at the airport before 7 o’clock.”

“No problem.”

“Okay. You really don’t need me to treat you to a farewell dinner tonight?”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “You want to buy me the last meal of my life?”

Seeing Monitor’s face change, Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Just joking. No one in this world can kill me.”

Monitor said in a low voice, “I don’t like such jokes.”

“I’m done talking with you. I am leaving. Give me the ticket. I will go on my own tomorrow. You don’t have to see me off.”

Xiao Bing returned to the hotel and put the mask away. He will wear it when he arrives in Jingdong. Applying to be a personal guard to the beauty of Country R, he would have many competitors. But Xiao Bing was confident that he could easily beat them. As for how beautiful Princess Nami was, Xiao Bing didn’t care. Xiao Bing was only concerned about how to complete this task earlier so that he could go back to Yezi.

The next day, after Xiao Bing arrived at Jingdong of Country R, he put on the mask at the airport. Then he hailed a taxi and got in with the Katana in his hand.

The taxi driver turned around and looked at Xiao Bing and asked in language R, “Sir, are you a master of some Budokan?”

Xiao Bing grunted a yes and then added, “Mister, I came here to apply for the job of the princess’ guard. Do you know if there are many candidates?”

The taxi driver smiled. “Princess Nami? She is very pretty. Are you coming for the money or for her?”

“Damn, are the people in Country R so obscene…” Xiao Bing would like to ask how beautiful she was, but he was a decent man who would not care about attractive women… Xiao Bing looked outside and was stunned.

The taxi driver asked, “Hey, why aren’t you speaking?”

Then he glanced out of the car and smiled knowingly, but he did not dare continue looking out because he had to concentrate on driving.

It turned out that the students were out of school at noon. They went along the street in groups, wearing black silk stockings. Their legs looked amazing with short miniskirts.

Xiao Bing swallowed. The girls in Country R were gorgeous. No wonder they had a very advanced small film industry. This was all due to the women. Without women, who would like to see the short men with their tiny things…

“Sh*t, I am a decent man; what am I thinking about?”

Xiao Bing looked away and asked casually, “Is Princess Nami that beautiful? More pretty than Kyoko Fukada?”

Fukada Kyoko was Xiao Bing’s favorite female star in Country R. She had a perfect face.

The driver laughed, “I feel the princess is a little more beautiful.”

“Woah!” Xiao Bing’s eyes lit up and asked, “What about Teacher Cang (Sora Aoi)?”

The driver confused, “Who?”

In Country R, people didn’t call Sora Aoi “Teacher Cang”. Hearing Xiao Bing’s explanation, the driver shook his head and said, “She has been long behind the times. Of course she was also beautiful, but she is no longer popular. Nowadays, Sakaguchi Mihono and Ayu Sakurai are the most famous and Tachibana Risa is the most beautiful one. No man in the world can resist them…”

Talking about this, the driver became excited. Xiao Bing had to admit that the industry was extremely prosperous in Country R. When they talked about these actresses, they were not ashamed at all. If people talked about this in Huaxia, whoever mentioned this would probably blush, unless it was a talk between best friends in private.

The car stopped at the hotel entrance. Xiao Bing paid the driver and walked into the hotel. A beautiful female staff at the front desk bowed deeply as she said, “Sir, how may I help you?

“How open-minded! The first thing they ask when they see me is if I need any service. Unfortunately, I am a man who is going to have a family. How can I be seduced by you foreign girls?” Xiao Bing handed over the ID card and said, “One room, please.”

“Okay, sir, please wait a moment. Sir, the standard room in our hotel is 2,500 R per day, with the deposit of 2,000 R.”

2,500 R was equivalent to 150 yuan in Huaxia, which was not expensive in this capital city. Xiao Bing paid the money for one week with the deposit. And then he put 5,000 R in front of the girl who served him and said, “This is for you.”

The beauty’s eyes brightened and she bowed to Xiao Bing again and again as Xiao Bing contentedly went upstairs with the room card.

These girls’ had such sweet and gentle voices. Men in Country R were violent but the women were sweet and docile. If one married a woman here, she must be a good wife and mother. As for women in Huaxia… they were supporting half the sky of the country and most of them had trained their husbands to be honest at home. The men had to save money if they wanted to go out for fun. But for Xiao Bing, a docile string puppet who would do whatever he said was not interesting at all. Women in his country who had their own ideas would be good women to get married to and have children with.

Lying in his room, Xiao Bing turned on the TV and watched it for a while. But they all spoke language R, even though Xiao Bing could understand it, he was not used to it. He turned off the TV with the remote control after a while.

Unexpectedly, as the TV was turned off, noises sounded at the door. Xiao Bing quickly jumped off the bed, walked carefully to the door, and opened it. But there was no one outside except for a business card on the ground. Xiao Bing picked it up and tried not to curse. It turned out that there was a phone number for special service just like he often saw in Huaxia. But he didn’t expect to see it in Country R.

But it was reasonable. After all, Country R was also a very open country. In this respect, it was many times more open-minded than Huaxia. He should not be surprised.

Just as Xiao Bing was about to throw the card away, he suddenly remembered the character of the person he was impersonating. Monitor told him he was supposed to be a playboy…

So Xiao Bing returned to his room and dialed the number on the card.

This mobile phone was from Monitor with a specialized local mobile phone card which could be used in Jingdong. It was registered under Xiao Bing’s new name so that he would never be exposed.

A sweet-sounding voice answered, “Sir, how may I be of service?”

What a sweet voice! Xiao Bing tried to stop drooling and asked, “What kind of service do you have?”

“Girl students, office ladies, models, female teachers… any type you want.”

Whoa!

Although Xiao Bing had never been involved in this business – not because Xiao Bing was decent, he just didn’t like men who sent such cards – he did know something about the industry. They made up great stories for the women who were plain prostitutes. They played office ladies, models, or students as part of their work. However, Xiao Bing didn’t care what they did. Thinking of this, Xiao Bing thought he would rather go for a younger one, so he said, “I want a girl student. I have money, so hurry up. I am in room B 03 of Hefumei Hotel.”

“All right, sir, you got it!”

Xiao Bing hung up the phone and smiled bitterly. “Damn, I didn’t expect that the first thing I do when I got to Jingdong is to… find a prostitute!”
