Volume 1 Departure Chapter 63 The Efforts of the Ordinary Man
"Day after day, year after year, I fought almost every day, against my father, or other elders in the family. My family needs to be revived, and in this era, taking the path of the Glorious Army and becoming the patron saint of mankind is the fastest and most effective path. ”
But also the most dangerous.
Ling An didn't expect this to be the case, and after being silent for a while, he said:
"You must be working hard."
"It's okay, I'm used to it, but if I don't do this, it doesn't feel right."
Ye Zixu said it lightly, but Ling An could feel the bitterness behind it.
"So sometimes I envy you."
"Envy me?"
"Well, Su Man once told me about you, and he said that you are a very sunny person, and you can inadvertently bring happiness and warmth to others."
Ling An was a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said:
"Needless to say, I know I'm good."
Ye Zixu was stunned for a moment, half loud, and then stared at Ling An strangely:
"Can't you be humble?"
Ye Zixu hadn't recovered enough to train, and after Ling An said goodbye to him, he went to the training ground.
He has recovered a lot now and can help his muscles recover by doing some small exercises.
When I arrived at the training ground, the bearded man guarding the door was bored looking at the Tianxun bracelet, which had some things for entertainment, and the bearded man was watching a video at the moment, with a simple smile on his face.
Ling An walked over and took a look, it seemed to be a film recording cats.
"Look at what you see, if you want to train, go in." The bearded man sensed Ling An's approach, and raised his head to find that it was Ling An:
"It's you, you're almost recovered?"
"And thank you seniors for the ointment." Ling An hurriedly said.
"You're welcome, that doesn't take much merit points."
Merit points? Ling An recalled the information he had read, and there seemed to be a description of this aspect, and immediately asked the bearded man for some meritorious service.
"You don't know? Oh, that's right, recruits should be introduced to Mars, so I'll tell you about it in advance. The bearded man said.
Ling An listened carefully.
The so-called merit points are actually equivalent to the currency within the Glorious Army.
Due to the limited nature of supplies and resources, in order to allocate resources reasonably, many resources within the Glorious Army are exchanged for merit points.
Especially for guerrilla troops, except for the necessary standard weapons and equipment, everything else must be exchanged for merit points, such as custom weapons, such as potions.
In addition, all enjoyment resources also need merit points to be exchanged.
A D-level warrior needs to be assessed to be promoted to a C-level warrior, and it also costs a certain amount of merit points to open the assessment.
Ling An also knows one thing, that is, taking the initiative to apply for retirement, which requires a lot of merit points. Eight years is just the shortest period. In fact, some people may stay for ten years, fifteen years without retiring.
Of course, if someone can serve on the Martian battlefield for up to twenty years, then regardless of whether the merit points are enough or not, they can directly apply for retirement.
Like Beard, he used to be stationed in the army, and he spent ten years on the Martian battlefield before retiring, and then he couldn't stay idle at home, so he applied to be transferred to the second line to work.
There are two ways to earn merit points.
The first is to complete the above tasks, which are mandatory, and a certain merit point will be given after completion.
The second is to obtain it by killing the enemy, and when the guerrillas go out to perform tasks, they need to wear a special recorder, and after returning to the fortress, there will be a special person to check and give corresponding merits.
According to the words of the beard, like that kind of ointment, potion or something, the merit points required are the fewest .
For almost everything that can enhance combat effectiveness, there are very few merit points needed, and there are more merit points for enjoyment-type resources.
Ling An could understand, after all, according to the way merit points were obtained, he could understand that those warriors who performed more tasks and had stronger combat effectiveness would get more merit points, so that resources would naturally be tilted towards them.
In addition, most of the necessities and regular supplies are allocated according to needs, which can not only ensure the combat effectiveness of ordinary fighters under the condition of limited resources, but also give those capable fighters faster promotion opportunities.
"Thank you, senior."
"No thanks, you'll find out soon. By the way, my name is Guo Heng, you can call me Lao Guo or Uncle Guo, you don't need to call your predecessors. The bearded man pointed to his badge.
"Uncle Guo, then I'll go in."
"Go, go, stay safe, don't hurt your muscles and bones again." Guo Heng waved his hand.
Entering the training room, there were already many recruits here, and Ling An's arrival attracted the attention of some recruits.
A few days ago, he and Ye Zixu were surrounded by many recruits, and the two were obviously already D-class warriors, which made the recruits who watched the battle admire.
"Brother Ling."
"Brother Ling."
Ling An was a little surprised, there were so many people who knew him, and many of them, in addition to asking Ling An if he had recovered, the words in his eyes also revealed curiosity about the ghost steps that Ling An and Ye Zixu showed that day.
Ling An told them that there was no need to be anxious, as a more advanced combat technique footwork than the butterfly step, the Youbu could also be exchanged and learned in the merit exchange form.
But if you can't even master the butterfly step to the point of mastery, it is difficult to learn the ghost step.
After chatting with these recruits, Ling An walked deeper into the training room.
The position he was in just now was a regular gravity zone, and now that Ling An walked in, it was a doubling gravity zone, with his physical strength, it was difficult for training under conventional gravity to promote recovery.
From a simple sit-up, it is a simple push-up, so that when you feel that your body is a little hot, you can stand up and use training equipment to assist yourself in training.
However, Ling An was a little curious, at this point, there were not many people training in the regular gravity zone, and he was the only one in the doubling gravity zone, and the indicator light on the door leading from the doubling gravity zone to the five-fold gravity zone was on, indicating that there were people training inside.
It's so late, who could it be?
Ling An was a little curious, and after a while, the door happened to open, and a panting, sweating young man almost crawled out of the five-gravity zone.
Rowan was irritable.
Ever since he saw the level of Ling An and Ye Zixu, he had always felt that he was missing something.
In the past few days, he has been training frantically, waking up every day, hurriedly finishing his meal, rushing to the training area, every time he is in the five-gravity zone for a whole day, and when he comes out exhausted at night, he will turn on the recovery mode of the engine in his room, and come back the next morning.
It's not so much training, it's better that Luo Wen is paralyzing himself, he doesn't understand why the gap between himself and Ling An and Ye Zixu is so big, that he tries desperately to catch up, but he can't catch up.
He needed time to figure it out.
Coming out of the five-gravity zone with exhaustion again, the exhaustion on his body made it a little difficult for Rowan to stand, anyway, it was so late, there should be no one else outside, he simply came out half-crawling.
Collapsed to the ground, the engine was absorbing G matter to replenish energy, but the exhaustion of the body was difficult to alleviate for a while, Rowan just lay on his stomach, wanting to wait for the soreness to weaken before walking back to the room.
Well? How can anyone?
A pair of boots appeared in front of Luo Wen's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Ling An looking at him with some concern.
"Are you alright? How do you train yourself like this? ”
With Ling An's help, Rowan struggled to find a training machine to sit on.
"There's something I can't figure out."
Rowan recovered a little, didn't look at Ling An, just looked up at the ceiling of the training room, a little dazed.
"Ling An, why are you and Ye Zixu so strong?"
Ling An was stunned. Does Rowan feel that the gap is too big and there is a psychological gap?
How to say this question?
Diligent? Ling An didn't think he was lazy, but there were many people who maintained the same training frequency as him, and they came here so late today just to do some training to promote their recovery.
If you want to talk about diligence, Luo Wen himself is much more diligent than Ling An, and sometimes he and Ye Zixu have already gone back to rest, and you can still see Luo Wen's figure immersed in hard work.
That's the reason for talent, although he doesn't want to attribute his achievements to this, Ling An also has to admit that he and Ye Zixu both belong to this type of person who is extremely talented.
Whether it is the comprehension of combat skills or the strength of innate spiritual power, Ling An and Ye Zixu are among the top among ordinary people.
It is precisely because of this that the Glorious Army will give them Zhou Tianjue.
"Everyone has bottlenecks, and sometimes, it takes some opportunities to break through them."
What can Ling An say? Is it possible to tell Rowan that you have no talent?
"Maybe, but I regret it now, I don't seem to be very suitable as a Glorious Army soldier, even if I practice hard and practice hard, I can only barely beat Hua Ji until now, and Qingsong is better than me." Rowan said in disappointment.
Ling An was silent, Xiang Qingsong also had the talent to master spiritual power, and the Glorious Army also sent Zhou Tianjue to him, it can only be said that this method is indeed very subtle, even if Xiang Qingsong is not so diligent, he can be stronger than Luo Wen.
"Brother, don't care, you work hard, this is something that everyone can see, and when the opportunity comes, the person who works hard is the best to grasp it."
These words are not comforting, Ling An knows that the best way to break through the bottleneck is to seek opportunities in the crisis of life and death, and there is definitely no shortage of such opportunities on the battlefield of Mars.
But he also felt sorry for Luo Wen, such a diligent person still had a sense of responsibility that made Ling An feel ashamed, but he didn't have enough talent, but he often encountered bottlenecks.
"You don't have to comfort me, I can adjust my mentality." Rowan smiled, "Sometimes I just can sense that a few of you are different from most of us, maybe it's an illusion. ”
Different? Feeling it?
Ling An's heart moved, and he looked at Luo Wen.
"Lao Luo, try to feel the energy in my body."
Seeing that Luo Wen looked puzzled, Ling An didn't care so much, let him feel it carefully, and he himself closed his eyes and began to operate Zhou Tianjue.
After running for half a week, Ling An opened his eyes and looked at Luo Wen.
"How's it going, do you feel anything?"
Rowan was silent for a moment, shook his head, and his eyes were a little dazed.
He didn't know what Ling An was doing this.
Ling An's face was a little disappointed.
Just now I heard Luo Wen say that he felt that he and the others were a little different, Ling An thought that he felt the operation of their Zhou Tianjue, if that was the case, it would prove that Luo Wen had a certain talent, and might be able to cultivate Zhou Tianjue.
However, it turns out that Rowan really doesn't have this talent.
It's a pity.
