Chapter Twenty-Nine: Heavy Killing
After the prizes were distributed, the time had come to nine o'clock in the evening, and the two people on the left were about to go back to the dormitory to rest, but they were stopped again.
"Is there an end?" Qiu Kill muttered, "Isn't it just a test, how do you feel like you've saved the earth, so many people are lining up to find us?"
The two people in front of them were Su San and Zha Zihu, two military representatives who had previously discussed the propaganda conditions with Zheng Chunfeng, chairman of CH Media.
The two were dressed in standard military uniforms. Su San is heroic, Cha Zihu is tall and majestic, walking with a strong wind, and has its own momentum.
Su San took out his military ID card and handed it to Chen Zuo Er to check, and after seeing that Chen Zuo Er was confirmed, he said: "We are not looking for the five of you, we are only looking for Chen Zuo Er," Su San said to everyone, "The other students can go back first, we will not delay him for a long time." ”
When everyone saw Chen Zuo Er nodding, they all relaxed and walked back to the dormitory together.
Pei Er turned his head to look at this heroic female officer, and scratched his head like a chicken nest.
Then Chen Zuo Er followed Su San and Cha Zihu to the principal's office.
It's getting late, the lights in the principal's office are still on, and there is probably something else going on tonight besides distributing rewards to students who have performed well. It is also extremely tiring to want to be the principal of a well-known high school.
"Sit down. When the principal saw the three of them coming, he motioned to sit down, and looked around the left and right in the morning, the office was not very big, and there were a lot of documents that were piled up indiscriminately, so it was even more crowded, he chose a seat and sat down, looking at the three of them with a puzzled expression.
"I came to you this time because of a project," the principal poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them, and said when he handed it to Chen Zuo Er, "Ninggao is actively responding to my country's military talent training plan, so I will get straight to the point, Lieutenant Su San has taken a fancy to your cultivation talent, and it just so happens that Ninggao and the army are also friendly allies, so I want to ask your opinion, are you interested in entering the army to practice?"
After Su San and Cha Zihu sat down, they listened to the principal open the situation and quietly waited for Chen Zuo's answer. After all, they and Chen Zuoer were complete strangers, and Principal Mo, as his principal, spoke first to facilitate the success of this matter.
"Joining the army?" Chen Zuoer frowned, "Principal Mo, as far as I know, there were no special cases for freshmen to enter the army in previous years, right?"
Chen Zuo Er borrowed Cao Yang's book card this afternoon and entered the library, and took a cursory look at the enrollment situation and teaching mode of Ninggao High School in recent years, and did not find that the students of Ninggao High School had a precedent of entering the army in their first year of high school, so they were a little puzzled.
"This year is the first year, and it can be regarded as a pilot," the principal smiled, not caring about the caution of the second left in the morning, "From this year onwards, Ninggao will gradually border about one percent of the top students with the military, retain the student status, and also have an army establishment. ”
"As for why you were chosen...... I think it would be better for these two to talk to you. The principal made a gesture of invitation to Su San and Cha Zihu.
Chen Zuo Er turned his head to look.
The tall and majestic boy introduced himself: "Hello, I am Sergeant Cha Zihu of the First Unit of Huaxia Garrison in Ningshan District. ”
Su San: "I'm Su San. ”
Zha Zihu was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "She is a lieutenant of the first unit of Huaxia stationed in Ningshan District. ”
Su San didn't care: "Sometimes the military rank does not mean anything, the principal has been in the army for 20 years, and he has only been a captain, but I think he will be my senior for life." ”
The principal smiled, noncommittal.
Hearing Su San's words, Chen Zuo Er understood it, and he knew the military background of Ninggao in his heart.
But why did you choose yourself alone, shouldn't Chu Dongyang, who had already broken the dawn, be a better choice?
Cha Zihu looked at Chen Zuoer's puzzled eyes and said with a smile: "I know what you want to ask, why did we choose you, right?"
Chen Zuoer nodded.
Cha Zihu said a little helplessly: "This time, the number of students enrolled in the army is limited, and five people will be selected from the freshmen of Ninggao High School. The other four have already determined that you are the last target for admission, because this is the one personally selected by Lieutenant Su San. ”
Lieutenant Su Sanmian, who was wearing a military cap, took a sip of tea without changing his color, and did not mean to interject.
Cha Zihu had no choice but to continue to act as a commentator and said: "Every freshman before entering the army, we have to go through a detailed investigation, originally the first choice is Chu Dongyang, who is on the same team as you, but unfortunately, his father has an underworld background, and the military must not choose it in order to avoid suspicion; the second choice is Chen Yun, but her parents refused, saying that they would train her to become a star in the entertainment industry and would not waste time in the army; and then Su Cha from the northern Qikuo grassland, he agreed very happily, but as soon as he heard that he couldn't take a horse after joining the team, he also gave up ......"
Cha Zihu spoke eloquently, and said that Zuo Er was in a cold sweat in the morning.
He can be sure that this opportunity for him was left by the people in front of him?
Zha Zihu was about to say more, but Principal Mo interrupted him with a light cough: "That's the case, the army has investigated your background in detail and found that your parents still have a record of working for the military, and you yourself don't have any stains, so now you are the best candidate for the rank." ”
"Yes," Cha Zihu also knew that he had a lot to say, and looked at him with a slow expression, "Your decision?"
"I'm going to think about it," Chen Zuoer pondered, he couldn't think that his parents had worked for the military, maybe he could find more details after he entered the army?
"There are police dogs," Mr. Cha said, "but pets that are purely cute are not allowed." ”
Chen Zuo Er sighed, the golden retriever is braver than ordinary police dogs, but strictly speaking, it is really just a pet.
"I have another question about the school," Chen Zuoji turned his head to look at the principal again, "I want to ask you this question when I have the opportunity to meet you face to face now." ”
Principal Mo said frankly: "You just ask. ”
"Before entering virtual reality, why didn't Ning Gaofang tell us the real exam situation?" Chen Zuoji recalled entering the war scene called "Little Mountain Battle", and on the first night he entered, there was a fierce battle on the hillside, and it was also the first time he saw a bloody battlefield. On that night, Chen Zuoer was almost killed on the hillside by several Dongying soldiers, "I think the school's approach is not humane." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little subtle.
Chen Zuo Er was asking Principal Mo in front of the three of them.
Chen Zuoer also knew that it might be a little uncomfortable to raise this question at this moment, but he just felt that Ning Gaofang had done something inappropriate in this matter. Students who are a little weaker in their hearts are expected to collapse directly in the exam, and how can they have the willpower to persist until the next battle.
In the VR real scene, because the exam situation is not clear, it can be said that all the students have different degrees of avoidance and fear of the bloody battle, and Pei Er chewed his tongue in the ear of Chen Zuo Er. He asked this question, on the one hand, to find out whether Ninggao was really just a mercenary school, and on the other hand, to ask for the crazy woman in his own house.
was questioned by Chen Zuo Er face to face, but Principal Mo was not angry, but looked at him with a little appreciation. After all, few people can speak of this courage.
Principal Mo said: "The situation is not clear, it is the school that wants to test the candidates' on-the-spot adaptability. In the future, the students of Ninggao will enter all levels of society and become the mainstay, and their status as practitioners will inevitably encounter scenes of battle and bloodshed, and when you encounter such scenes in the future, you will find that scenes like 'small mountain battles' are really nothing compared to those real deaths. This is also a hidden assessment of Ninggao, if you can't even pass this level, it's a pity to be eliminated. ”
Hearing Principal Mo say this, Cha Zihu and Shen nodded sympathetically: "Yes, the real battlefield will be more bloody, and you must be mentally prepared before you enter the army." ”
The principal faced Chen Zuoer and said, "I hope you can seize this opportunity to enter the army, I can see that Lieutenant Su San admires you very much, I have never seen her praise people so much." Incidentally, the military's training methods, although more rigorous, are self-contained and may complement the education of Ninggao. ”
Chen Zuoer nodded, hesitated, and asked the last question: "Principal Mo, I have another question, which is also about the school." ”
Principal Mo couldn't help but laugh: "You didn't think about it when the military people here asked you questions, but instead saved up a bunch of questions to ask me?"
Chen Zuoer simply asked directly: "Principal Mo, are all the soldiers in the border scene really killed as recorded in the history books, and none of them survived?" The lame Yao who knitted sweaters, the Yang squad leader who stuck the gun bolt, and the battalion commander Li who was wise and brave, were they all really all sacrificed?"
When he asked this question, the voices and smiles of several people flashed in Chen Zuo's mind, although he didn't say much, he remembered it deeply.
"Most of them are real, and a small part of them are programmed characters written based on materials," Principal Mo replied, "There are too many characters involved in the Xiaoshan War, if you want to restore them all, not to mention the huge amount of work, there is no data reference for the life and character of some of the soldiers, but the main characters are strictly restored." ”
Seeing that Chen Zuoer wanted to speak and stopped, Principal Mo continued: "I know what you want to ask, Battalion Leader Li, Squad Leader Yang and Yao Cripple are of course restored based on real people, your teammate Chu Dongyang has indeed been affirmed by Squad Leader Yang, if you and Squad Leader Yang are in that war together, it is very likely that the story that Chu Dongyang has already happened." ”
Chen Zuoer nodded: "I understand! Thank you, Principal Mo." ”
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he learned this answer, he must make it clear to Chu Dongyang.
Although everyone doesn't say it, everyone knows that after the VR came out, Chu Dongyang actually had a knot in his heart, and this knot was the death of squad leader Yang. But because the real squad leader Yang had died, he couldn't verify it, and this knot had always been in Chu Dongyang's heart. Now that Chen Zuoer has been personally affirmed by the principal, after telling Chu Dongyang the news, he must want to open some.
"Battalion Commander Li, formerly known as Li Feilong, made outstanding achievements in the Xiaoshan battle, and fought against the Dongying army with half of his troops, and died together, and not a single person in the whole army survived. ”
"Yao Cripple's original name was Yao Da Niu, and before he died, he was still chanting his daughter's name, the young man who wanted to ask her daughter to be his daughter-in-law, died at the forefront. ”
Squad Leader Yang fought to the end, and after he had no bullets in his jam gun, he also beat one to death with **. ”
"The school programmed these people with distinct personalities into VR to make the war more realistic. Your VR exam this time is actually one of the VR assessments selected from the military. ”
"Ninggao has a patent for VR, no wonder the army will choose Ninggao to pilot ......" Chen Zuoer muttered, dredging the core of why Ninggao has a relationship with the army.
"Now that you've asked about it, there's news you should want to hear. Principal Mo suddenly smiled.
Chen Zuo's second puzzled face.
"Yao Daniu's daughter, Yao Shengxia, is now working as the director of the gynecology department at my school hospital," said Principal Mo with a smile. ”
"No wonder Yao Cripple's image is so plump," Chen Zuo Er suddenly realized, and secretly thought that he must meet the daughter of this "Yao Cripple" when he has the opportunity.
"In that case, I chose to join. After Chen Zuo Er finished asking the principal's question, he thought about his inconvenience, except for the demon campus that might delay Cao Yang's photograph, there seemed to be no other difficulties.
"Isn't there any doubt about the army?" Seeing that Chen Zuo Er was so refreshing, Cha Zihu was a little uncomfortable.
"Yes," Chen Zuo Er went through the details in his mind again, and found a few missing points, so he confirmed, "I want to know about the training content of the army." ”
You're really welcome, say there is. Cha Zihu smiled from the bottom of his heart, he didn't see the outside, it was good.
"Let's tell you from the beginning", Zha Zihu thought for a while, and said in organizational language, "The time for recruits to serve is two years, and during these two years, they must strictly obey the orders of the army, and there must be no violations of law and discipline. After two years, you can choose to take the exam and get into a higher military school, or you can choose to retire and continue your high school. ”
"The benefits you can have are the top resources in Huaxia - for war, of course. Liberal arts courses such as psychology, speech, and pharmacy, and science courses such as wilderness survival, simple armor making, etc., all focus on war. ”
"After completing these courses, there are special tasks assigned by the army, which will be more interesting than what you study on campus," Su San, who had never spoken, finally spoke, "There are some tasks that can make people grow quickly." ”
"Vision determines the world," Su San said softly, "After this VR exam, you should have a sense that there are always things beyond imagination happening in this world, so keep broadening your horizons through tasks, and when you see the scenery at a higher place, your cultivation eyes will naturally go further." ”
"Especially between life and death, the practice progresses very quickly. Su San's eyes were gloomy, as if he had thought of some past events.
Seeing that Su San was deep in thought, Cha Zihu took the initiative to take over the conversation: "Speaking of VR, in fact, this product has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that it is very convenient to create a scene for training, and the disadvantage is obvious, the brain and body cannot withstand such a high intensity of stimulation, and needs to rest from time to time. Principal Mok said earlier that the students' insanity is caused by not paying attention to rest. ”
At this time, Su San came back to his senses, smiled slightly to show his apologies, and said to Chen Zuoer: "There are still a lot of details to deal with before entering the army, such as physical examinations and tests, but put these aside for the time being, there are a few questions about the foundation of cultivators to test you, if you don't even know these, I don't think you are a qualified cultivator yet." ”
You ask. Chen Zuoer was a little nervous when he heard her say this, but he still responded honestly.
"The first question is very simple, tell me what you think is a cultivator?"
Chen Zuo Er pondered what had happened in the past few days, and replied with deep feelings: "A practitioner, that is, a person who cultivates and cultivates his state of mind, once read a text that says that there is a meaning of 'a person who maintains justice' and 'a person who tempers himself', and I very much agree with it. ”
"That's right," Su San was quite satisfied with Chen Zuoer's explanation, "It's not easy to become a qualified cultivator. Modern practitioners are very different from ancient practitioners, and they need to know more and overcome more temptations. Therefore, the number of modern practitioners is only about 1% of the total population, because the conditions required for cultivation are relatively harsh, and in addition to chance, the economic foundation is the most important. ”
Chen Zuoer nodded secretly, just buying those few awakening stones cost millions, and enrolling in school was a lot of money. For a peer like him, it is estimated that he can't come up with a few hundred yuan, let alone millions of astronomical figures.
Money is really the last word.
"Modern practitioners need to undergo more strenuous physical and spiritual training than in ancient times, as well as a wealth of scientific knowledge. If we use an analogy to a certain profession in ancient times, we should be regarded as 'martial artists', but our entry requirements are more demanding than those of martial artists. ”
"Martial artists often have their own mental methods or unique methods of meridian movement, and we modern practitioners are the same. With the development of science and technology, although the meridians of the human body are complex, they have now gradually been unveiled, and excellent modern practitioners will summarize the meridian operation methods of ancient martial artists, and bring forth the new and form a school of their own. ”
"For example, Fancheng's 'Fancheng Straight Fist', such as the Tiger Roaring Mountain's 'Tiger Roaring Shirt'. ”
Hearing this, Chen Zuoer kept an eye on it, "Fancheng Straight Fist" is not only a secular martial arts school, but also occupies a certain position in the world of cultivators?
It seems that the Fancheng Straight Fist practiced by Qiu Kill and Deng Zhifeng is just a superficial introductory move.
When you go back to this matter, you must talk to Qiu Kill.
"Some cultivator schools will also have their own set of tendon and vein trend charts, and students with good talent only need to learn the meridian operation method provided by the school to slowly produce 'Qi', and after taking the Awakening Stone, they can work together inside and outside to open the key acupoints, so that the Qi can circulate normally, and they can embark on the path of cultivation. ”
"Cultivators have a greater say than ordinary people, and the same is true in international disputes, so it is imperative for the state to form an 'army of cultivators', which is also the fundamental reason why the army recruits from Ninggao. Su San said a lot to himself, and he was entitled to help the half-understood Chen Zuo Er to solve his doubts, and then return to the topic.
"Getting back to the point, the second question is, how to define the strength level of a cultivator, do you know?"
"The sun is shining, and the mountains are dawning. Feasting day and dancing, the sun sinks casually. Chen Zuoer replied, "This poem is about the process of the sun rising to setting, and it is also a metaphor for a person from youth to maturity. There are four major realms in the strength grading of cultivators, which are also excerpted from this poem: the first light, the dawn, the feast, and the sun. Ten stages per level. ”
Su San nodded and continued to ask, "What do you think are the other factors besides the realm to measure the strength of a cultivator?"
Chen Zuo Er frowned and replied, "In addition to the realm, skills, Qi size, weapons, and combat experience should be several important factors that affect a cultivator's strength. ”
The corners of Su San's mouth curled up when she heard this, the person she fancied was really good, this question was actually added by her temporarily, and the four points that Chen Zuoer answered were exactly what she wanted to say.
Su San continued: "Very good, your summary is in place. The last question, what is a skill, do you know how to learn a skill?"
"When I was fighting against Dongying high school students, I saw Lao Chu use two powerful skills, one is 'Big Waves and Sand', and the other is 'Ascending Dragon Fist', both of which belong to third-level attack skills, and the rewards that Principal Mo gave us today, there are also many skill books, which are roughly divided into three categories: attack skills, defense skills, and auxiliary skills. Chen Zuo Er touched his chin, "As for how to learn skills, it should be that each skill has a unique way to mobilize the flow of breath, different breath changes, combined with different body movements, form different skills." Chen Zuo Er combined with the flow of Qi when imitating Chu Dongyang's attack technique to make a summary, guessing.
"Yes, so far, you've got it right. Of course, these questions are also relatively simple, and they belong to the introductory knowledge of cultivators," Su San continued, "The skill level is divided into ten levels, the weakest level is the first, and the strongest level is the tenth. According to the classification of attack range, it can be divided into group skills and individual skills, the big waves are group skills, and the dragon fist is a single skill. ”
"According to the nature of use, it can be divided into attack, defense, and auxiliary. That's what you're talking about, but there are other side skills. In the future, you will encounter a variety of skills, which are as complex as the chaotic meridians in the human body. ”
"Mastering a powerful skill gives you the initiative among cultivators of the same level. If Chu Dongyang used a fourth-level skill against Oki Ichiro, you wouldn't have won this battle so aggrieved. Of course, the fourth-level skill is difficult to control at the beginning of the ninth stage. ”
"Skills are generally the secrets of various schools or sects, or the things at the bottom of the box of some families, it is not easy to learn, like Ninggao is so wealthy, it is rare to send skill books at the beginning of school, you have to cherish it. Su San made an unprecedented little joke, because she was really in a good mood.
Chen Zuo Er smiled, he didn't know that he hadn't read the price introduction of skill books on the black market before, compared to the price of the Awakening Stone, it was only high and not low, and it was really priceless.
In the past, Chen Zuo Er had seen one of the most superficial first-level attack techniques on the black market website, but within a few minutes of hanging it, he was coaxed away by the rich and wealthy people, and the scene was really terrifying.
"In the military, you can learn the strongest skills. Su San smiled, "The strongest!"
