Chapter Ninety-Nine: Dark Chess
Although Qingpu College is only a D-level college, it will always be the most special college in Qin Xiao's heart.
This is where the first moments of his memory begin.
From the age of 6 to 18, he walked all the distance that a low-level star warrior needed to walk here.
For him, it was not a simple academy, but more like his home.
The lecherous and money-greedy bald dean, as well as those mediocre and black-bellied teachers, although they have their own shortcomings, have long been regarded as "family" by Qin Xiao.
Although they were a group of hopeless bastards, the companionship of more than ten years still made Qin Xiao put their position a little higher in his heart.
But Qingpu Academy is Qingpu Academy, and when the entire academy of Elan Star is selecting talents for the hunting plan, it still maintains its unique style.
Swing rotten.
There is no large-scale talent selection here, and there is no lively scene, and the campus is still depressed, as if the campus has been abandoned.
As a result, Guan Shanyue was stunned in such an environment, and took Qin Xiao to find a few students who were "selecting" in a classroom, as well as a teacher who came to mix time no matter how you look at it.
Seeing Guan Shanyue and Qin Xiao two outsiders walking in, the teacher ignored them.
After perfunctorily watching the students complete the most basic physical test, they announced that they had passed the "selection", and then impatiently pushed the door and left.
These three people got the only three places in Qingpu Academy to participate in the hunting program, and it was obvious that they were the people Guan Shanyue was looking for.
However, when Qin Xiao saw the appearance of these three people clearly, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.
These three men are too old.
Two of them were already in their forties, and the other, a little younger, was at least in his early thirties.
It looks as if they are trying their best to look younger, and they have deliberately shaved their beards.
As a result, it is precisely because there is no beard to cover them that their old faces are more obvious.
Qin Xiao pointed at the three of them and asked, "Are they all students?" ”
"Yes, the students of Qingpu College have been enrolled for half a year." Guan Shanyue nodded and said.
"How old are they?" Qin Xiao continued to ask.
“18。” Guan Shanyue continued.
"Why is this 18?" Qin Xiao said angrily: "I seriously suspect that you are insulting my IQ!" ”
"It's just 18 years old, don't get excited." Guan Shanyue twisted her head and said.
"Do you dare to look at me and say that?" Qin Xiao said angrily.
The three "older students" looked at Qin Xiao curiously, as if they were frantically searching for memories in their minds, wanting to find information about Qin Xiao.
They could confirm that the young man in front of them had not appeared in their team before, but for some reason he could joke so well with their captain, Guan Shanyue.
In fact, Guan Shanyue herself is also a little curious, for some reason she is very comfortable with Qin Xiao, as if the two of them have known each other in their previous lives.
After the joke, Guan Shanyue patiently introduced the three people in front of her to Qin Xiao.
The two older people are named Chen Ke and Zhang Lu, and they are both fifth-order cultivators in the Shattered Star Realm, with a combat power of 50,000 knots.
The slightly younger person is called Yuan Chen, although he is younger, his strength is stronger, and his combat power is as high as 800000 knots, which is not far behind Guan Shanyue.
After Guan Shanyue's introduction, Qin Xiao knew that the three of them were really students of Qingpu College, and they had been enrolled for half a year.
This is a chess piece that Bai Qi planted early, and he plans to use it at a critical moment, which is very in line with Bai Qi's style of doing things.
Half a year ago, there was no hunting plan, but at that time, Bai Qi had already realized that the war in the north was going to end, and began to plan a counteroffensive against the Tianluo Empire.
This was originally a matter of overstepping authority, the Eastern Theater and the Northern Battlefield are the same level of existence, and Bai Qi is not qualified to point fingers here.
But the change lies in Sun Dianchen, as the old chief of Bai Qi, there will be no problem in this kind of cooperation between them.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Qin Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly, with these three people joining, the strength of their team will be increased to an incredible level.
Chen Ke, Zhang Lu, and Yuan Chen, any of the three of them are placed in the legion, and they can all serve as the corps commander.
The battlefield is not a game, and Qin Xiao doesn't have any idea of victory.
As he said, he can't wait to be surrounded by super strong people, so that he can push things forward more smoothly.
But just when Qin Xiao wrote his happiness on his face, Guan Shanyue suddenly said: "The three of them will set off with us, but they won't act with us when they arrive at the hunting base." ”
"What do you mean?" Qin Xiao asked, and his excitement instantly decreased by half.
"They need to be dispersed among other corps and become commanders of other corps, so that at least half of the force can be in our hands." Guan Shanyue explained.
"Half?" Qin Xiao heard the key point and asked, "Don't tell me that you are also going to compete for the position of a corps commander." ”
"Of course, why not?" Guan Shanyue asked rhetorically, with a little puzzlement in her expression.
"Don't underestimate these student troops, their potential is incomparably huge." Guan Shanyue continued to explain.
Regarding this statement, Qin Xiao did not object.
The disadvantage of the student army is that they have basically never been on the battlefield, and their understanding of war only stays in the classroom and in the battlefield beyond time and space.
And many students have an arrogant air and are difficult to discipline, which is a big taboo in marching and fighting.
But they have a lot of potential, and they learn much faster on the battlefield than non-academy students.
For example, Zhao Ruling, when she first encountered Qin Xiao on the No. 79 flying star, her performance on the battlefield was disastrous.
And when she fought on the 101st flying star, she had quickly grown into a qualified warrior.
As long as she goes through the baptism of the battlefield a few more times, she will definitely become a powerful warrior, and it is not impossible for her to even grow into an officer.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao suddenly understood Guan Shanyue's intentions.
Guan Shanyue's desire to control half of the troops in the hunting base is completely out of habit, and people like him will subconsciously want to control the situation no matter where he goes.
With more troops, you have more cards to play when danger comes.
But apparently Guan Shanyue's goal is more than that.
No matter how clever the hunting plan is, this is only a phased operation.
Whether it is the Qiang star warriors of the West Qiang Star in the future, or the Star Pole Empire taking the initiative to attack, they will definitely be replaced by regular troops to start the war.
At that time, the academy students who grew up in the hunting base will most likely be directly absorbed by the military department and become officers or reserve officers.
These people will spread out in the military department in the future, and there will inevitably be outstanding people among them who will make their mark in the military department.
And before they grow up, if there is a subordinate relationship with them, it will definitely be a great help to control them in the future.
In the final analysis, the main purpose of Guan Shanyue's visit this time was not to fight, but to sow hope.
It may take years, decades, or even decades for these academy students to grow, but at least the seeds of hope have been sown, and there will always be a day when the harvest will be harvested in the future.
Qin Xiao is not disgusted by Guan Shanyue's approach, this is the survival of those in power.
If they don't, sooner or later they'll be replaced by a liking to do it.
However, on the matter of their respective scattered leading corps, Qin Xiao put forward different opinions.
"You have to be with me." Qin Xiao said firmly.
Guan Shanyue frowned slightly and asked, "Why, could it be that Bai Qi gave you any special arrangements?" ”
"Yes, didn't Bai Qi say that I have to protect your safety, if you don't act with me, how can I protect you?" Qin Xiao said unashamedly.
Hearing him say this, Chen Ke and the three of them all looked at Qin Xiao curiously.
They tried their best to find out the fluctuations of star power on Qin Xiao's body, trying to see through Qin Xiao's true strength.
At this moment, they all thought that Qin Xiao was a hidden powerhouse, so much so that they all misjudged Qin Xiao's strength.
But Guan Shanyue knew Qin Xiao's true strength, he stared at Qin Xiao for a while, and gradually guessed a possibility.
"You are the commander of your corps normally, and when the time comes, the training and personnel transfer of your corps will be handed over to me, is this okay?" Guan Shanyue asked tentatively.
"Oh, you're taking my power." Qin Xiao said hypocritically.
"Okay, I'll ......"
"Who made you the person brought by General Bai, I can't afford to offend people like you, if you want the power, I won't rob you, just help me say a few kind words in front of General Bai when the time comes."
Seeing that Guan Shanyue was about to change her mind, Qin Xiao immediately changed her words and blocked Guan Shanyue's mouth.
Guan Shanyue and Chen Ke glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Obviously, Qin Xiao wanted to dump the pot, but he said it so high-soundingly, it is rare for this young man to have such a thick skin.
But when she looked at Qin Xiao again, Guan Shanyue's eyes became meaningful.
Judging from the news he got about Qin Xiao, he was definitely an excellent general who could be the commander of the corps, and it was impossible for him not to think about the benefits of leading troops in the hunting base.
But he didn't want the power and prestige in his hands, which made Guan Shanyue suddenly feel a little incomprehensible to Qin Xiao.
However, when he followed Qin Xiao back to the mechanical room and saw the daily state of Qin Xiao and several partners around him, he instantly understood Qin Xiao's thoughts.
Qin Xiao had no time to be distracted from other things, there was only cultivation in his world.
In the evening, Guan Shanyue sat in the courtyard in a daze, and Yuan Chen walked over slowly.
"Commander, what are you worried about?" Yuan Chen asked in a low voice.
"I'm wondering what kind of person Qin Xiao is." Guan Shanyue replied.
"A very good young man, to be precise, very good, is ......" Yuan Chen wanted to speak again and again.
"What's it?" Guan Shanyue asked.
"It just seems that this kind of person is not easy to control." Yuan Chen said truthfully.
Guan Shanyue nodded in agreement, this is not a strange thing, a capable young man like Qin Xiao must be difficult to control or even uncontrollable.
What Guan Shanyue was really worried about was not this, but another thing that made him puzzled.
Guan Shanyue muttered, "Yuan Chen, why do I always feel as if he can see through me thoroughly? ”
Some people died, but not completely......
