Chapter 1400: Something to Expect
Compared to a loyalty test that takes only a few days, the willpower test will last up to two months, during which time there will be more than a dozen different similar tests, each of which will be a squeeze on willpower, followed by a longer tactical command test.
Under the torture of the Eight Great Punishment Needles, Qin Yan believed that his thousand-person team could successfully pass the willpower assessment with high scores.
Following the unrestricted long-distance running test, on the third day after the end of the penal test, all the recruits who had undergone the 'Great Torture Waiting' were covered in bruises and were already recovering with the help of top-notch medical technology.
Qin Yan slept in the barracks.
In the eyes of others, he is a slacker, obviously he is already a top master, and sleep is dispensable, but he sleeps more than ordinary people.
However, others do not know that his so-called sleep is just a disguise, lying motionless on the bed with his eyes closed on the surface, but his mind is more active than he can imagine: in the absence of anything else, he is a person who likes to spend his time thinking, and in fact he has a lot to think about.
There are things worth thinking about at hand, such as whether there is any way to improve the tactical command ability of those companions, such as how to go on after the assessment, and how to face Upton, and the provocation that may arise at any time - you can't be a turtle with a shrunken head, right?
Thinking about it further afield, it's even more.
How can we find old friends when they have lost their means of communication, their path to the solar system, and all their old friends are deliberately avoiding them?
How can I improve my cultivation as soon as possible and advance to the Heavenly Martial Nine Heavens realm?
What made him most curious was the man who looked ordinary, but appeared more than once.
Who is he?
Why did he solicit himself?
What is his purpose?
After rejecting his olive branch for the first time, he threw himself into the 'Nine Heavens of Despair', and his heart was full of anger at the time.
However, now with Qin Yan's cleverness, it can be seen that the other party does not have the slightest hostility towards him, otherwise it would be easy to kill him with the other party's ability.
In turn, he seems to be perfecting himself.
Could it be that he is really an ethereal god in the legend, because he is immortal and immortal, so his idle eggs hurt, and he has nothing to do with himself for fun?
No way!
It was an existence that could make the time and space in the black hole fall into a static state, almost no different from a god: that kind of powerful being, who would only spend his time pursuing stronger strength and exploring more mysterious worlds, how could he waste time on him?
Thinking of this, Qin Yan remembered the last transaction with the Jiying Chamber of Commerce, the strange nameplate made of elements that did not belong to this universe.
Is there really another world that is completely different?
If so, where is it?
All kinds of thoughts were rolling in my mind, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside: "Shennong, a new recruit of the preparatory instrument, come with me." β
Qin Yan opened his eyes and rolled out of bed, and when he opened the door, he saw an officer standing outside, he didn't ask anything, and walked away after the officer.
The war fortress, with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, is the living quarters of the reservist recruits.
However, this is not a place where you can come and go casually, and recruits can only move around on the periphery, but there are many areas inside that cannot be crossed.
At this moment, Qin Yan was heading towards the inner core area.
After passing one sentry after another, and finally stopped outside a gate, the officer said respectfully: "My lord, Shennong, a recruit in the second phase of the preparatory instrument, has brought it." β
The door opened, the officer respectfully retreated, and Qin Yan walked in.
This is a very large office, there are three people in it: an old man with gray hair, sitting in the most central position, and another middle-aged man sitting respectfully at the bottom, this is a two-star brigadier general, Qin Yan has seen him, when he first came to the base half a month ago, this person had a lecture, he was the person in charge of this preparatory instrument base. Finally, there was a man standing next to the brigadier general, and it was clear from his badge that he was a partial general.
Of course, Qin Yan didn't know that it was this partial general who stood beside the brigadier general who had been staring at him in the data analysis center these days.
"The lowly Shennong has seen the commander-in-chief and the two generals." Qin Yan gave a military salute.
That's right!
The old man in the center is the seven-star commander of the Tianquan Empire, a transcendent existence whose status is only below the emperor, and a handful of other commanders-in-chief, alongside the few other commanders-in-chief - when he first came in, Qin Yan had already seen the identity of the old man from the badge on the opponent's military uniform.
"You're Shennong?"
The old man sitting on the main seat looked Qin Yan up and down, and then asked, "Do you know what I called you here for?" β
"I don't dare to speculate." Qin Yan said.
"Because you can't guess, right?" The old man looked at him lightly.
"Lord Marshal wants something from the lowly office."
"Presumptuous!"
The brigadier general, who was the person in charge of the base, changed his face and scolded: "What is your identity? How could the Commander-in-Chief covet ......?"
"Let him go." The old man waved his hand to stop it.
"Yes!" The brigadier general did not dare to say more.
"If the lowly position is not mistaken, the commander-in-chief is here for the lowly position, and the way to quickly improve the willpower."
"Haha......"
The old man's expression, which had been calm before, was replaced by a cheerful laugh, and he even applauded: "Not bad! Sure enough, as wise as the data shows - can you give me the method? β
"No, you can't." Qin Yan's expression did not change in the slightest.
"Why?" The old man was stunned.
"Because it's a lowly thing."
"Shennong!"
The brigadier general couldn't help but be furious again, and he scolded angrily: "You are a soldier of the empire, and it is your duty and obligation to dedicate yourself to the empire. From the moment you joined the army, even your life was imperial, what else belonged to you personally? It's just presumptuous! β
Qin Yan turned his head to look at the brigadier general and said, "Your Excellency, you must correct your two problems. First of all, the lowly post is now only a preparatory instrument, not yet a real soldier, and there is no so-called accusation and obligation. Secondly, as a soldier, you should indeed give your life to the Empire, but it does not mean that you do not ask for anything in returnβI would like to ask the general, if you have contributed to the Empire, and the Empire has not given you any reward, are you still willing to be loyal to such a country? The general does not have to give an answer, the answer to the lowly position is no - when the lowly position contributes to the empire, if the empire does not give me the corresponding reward, why should I be loyal? The dedication of the soldiers to the empire and the glory and rewards that the empire bestows on the soldiers go hand in hand. β
"Presumptuous! You...... You're just the opposite! A soldier should swear to be loyal to the country, you ......"
"Hehe, interesting."
The old man waved his hand at the brigadier general to stop him from continuing to go crazy, his eyes fell on Qin Yan, and he said with a smile: "This is very utilitarian, but it is an out-and-out fact. If a country only asks its soldiers to sacrifice and sacrifice, and does not give corresponding rewards, it is true that no one wants to be loyal to such a country. β
"Your Excellency, Lord Marshal, you ......" Brigadier General was dumbfounded.
"Okay, don't say so many high-sounding words, you and I both think the same thing, but no one will say it in a grand manner like Shennong."
"This ......"
"Shennong."
With a smile on his face, the old man looked directly at Qin Yan: "So, what do you want?" β
"The lowly position will not take the initiative to make any demands, but only hope that I will contribute something to the empire, and the empire will give what belongs to me."
"That's fine, it's what the empire should do."
"Your Excellency, this is what you want."
Qin Yan immediately took out a small information memory card from his personal pocket, handed it to the old man and advised: "This is an unintentional acquisition of the lowly position, as far as the lowly position knows, there is no such thing in the entire high civilization, so please keep it carefully." β
Yes!
This time, Qin Yan did not hide his secrets, and presented all the secrets of his eight major punishment needles, including the acupuncture points of the eight major punishment needles, as well as the true element component injected after the needle dropped, the operation method of the true element, etc. - don't think that as long as the silver needle pierces the corresponding acupuncture point, the eight major punishment needles need energy injection.
In addition, in order to prevent them from ignorant of such things as 'acupuncture points', Qin Yan also attached an extremely detailed map of the acupuncture points of the human body, as well as the different functions of each acupuncture point.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then carefully took the memory card and put it into his personal pocket.
Of course he knew how precious it was.
With this thing, the willpower of the soldiers can be improved in a short period of time, although there is no way to affect the strength, but the iron division that has always had strong willpower will definitely play a stronger effect in the war - in the case of equal strength, strong willpower is enough to become the key to victory or defeat.
"You already knew, so you were ready in advance?" The old man asked after putting away the memory card.
"Yes."
"Not bad!"
"Your Excellency praised it."
Qin Yan stood up straight, gave a military salute respectfully, and said, "Lord Marshal, if there is nothing to do, I will retire from my humble position." β
"There's no hurry."
The old man looked at the two generals and said, "You guys go out first, I still have some things." β
The brigadier general immediately got up from his chair, gave a military salute to the old man with another general, and turned to leave the office without hesitation.
As a soldier, you must understand what to ask and what not to ask, and if the commander-in-chief asks them to leave, they must leave immediately, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and this rule applies everywhere.
What's the situation?
Seeing the two generals leaving Qin Yan's heart, he couldn't guess the purpose of the commander-in-chief.
Suddenly!
The door of the office reopened, and a man wearing a general's uniform walked in: before Qin Yan remembered this person, he was standing outside the office with another person, obviously the entourage of the commander-in-chief.
It's just that......
This man did not have the due respect for the commander-in-chief, he glanced at the old man, but the high-ranking commander-in-chief nodded at him and turned to leave.
Who is he?
Who else in the Heavenly Power Empire has a higher status than the commander-in-chief?
Just after the office door was closed by the old man, Qin Yan saw an unbelievable scene......
