Chapter 204 Accompanying my brother to the military recruitment assessment
Lin Muyan stroked her chin, recalling what Wei Tuling had mentioned to her before. He had also secretly assembled a small team of trustworthy people, and told her to meet with his team members whenever she had time.
She hasn't had time to find out yet, and she hasn't even seen Wei Tuling awaken his lightning-type superpower.
Now it seems like it's time to go and take a look.
At this moment, Lin's father and mother exchanged a glance, and then looked at Lin Muyan in unison.
“Yan Yan, your dad and I sorted out our family’s supplies and found that they won’t last for more than a few years. From now on, we will have to rely on ourselves to obtain supplies.”
Lin's father chimed in, "Yes, so your mother and I discussed it, and that recruitment policy seems pretty good. We'd like to give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiao's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly:
"No, no, how can we let the two of you go? I'm here. I'll go and give it a try. First, I can get supplies and the benefits can be extended to the whole family. Second, I can get the latest information at any time, so our whole family won't be completely in the dark."
In fact, Lin Xiao also wanted to rely on his own strength as much as possible to make a name for himself. It was not right to always rely on his sister to support the whole family. He did not want to hold her back.
Joining the army would allow him to hone his skills, which would be more efficient than trying to improve them on his own at home.
Lin Muyan frowned upon hearing this and said:
"Actually, you don't need to worry about supplies, I have a way to solve it."
Putting aside the renewable resources in her various spaces, she still has the Golden Shovel and hasn't used any of the treasure-hunting opportunities she got from completing tasks.
Through her experiments, she found that the treasure hunting opportunities obtained from those missions had a much higher probability of yielding living supplies, unlike the usual drop rate.
She really doesn't lack supplies.
But Lin Xiao and the other two didn't hear it that way.
They felt that Lin Muyan wanted to shoulder all the pressure alone, just to put their minds at ease.
But how could they possibly enjoy all of this with a clear conscience?
“Little sister, let your brother go. Before the apocalypse, your brother was just a beast of burden, with no sense of accomplishment at work and a life of mediocrity. But things are different now. With your help, I feel confident that I can make something of myself. Let Mom and Dad take care of things at home. I’m going to join the army. You should stay free and independent.”
Lin Muyan wanted to persuade her again, but after thinking it over carefully, she felt that she could let go.
I can't worry about things forever, and going to the army is a good way to train myself.
Besides, once she finds a treasure suitable for her older brother, she can give it to him to protect his life; there won't be much danger.
Ultimately, at the urging of the siblings, Lin's parents stayed at home for the time being.
Lin's mother and Lin Xiaonuan need to be taken care of. Lin's father has awakened his superpowers, but he doesn't necessarily need to join the army to use them. If both adults go to the army, the safe house will be deserted, and there will be no one to take care of Lin Xiaonuan.
The next day, Lin Xiao set off lightly, ready to register at the recruitment assessment site.
Lin Muyan was curious about the content of the assessment, so she went along as well.
The recruitment site was located in a university near the government building. The huge stadium was crowded with people, but no one was making noise or running around.
Armed guards controlled the entire area; seeing these real weapons, even the most rebellious troublemakers would shrink back.
After confirming that her older brother had successfully registered and was standing in line in the waiting area, Lin Muyan went to the stands.
The stands at the front offer a panoramic view of the entire venue, where a dozen or so uniformed officers were already conversing, glancing occasionally at the recruit selection area.
Xiao Li was among them.
After Lin Muyan went on stage, she held onto the railing with one hand and took out a small pair of binoculars with the other to start observing carefully.
The stadium is huge, and it's packed with people.
At that moment, Lin Muyan suddenly saw several familiar figures.
Rong Muchen arrived. Standing in the crowd, if you only looked at his face, he was indeed quite handsome and somewhat outstanding.
But his arrogant and conceited attitude is just annoying.
Lin Muyan didn't linger on him for long before turning her attention to the three members of the Shen family.
Shen Jiaojiao signed up alone, and her parents came to cheer her on.
There were also many female participants at the scene, all dressed casually in a sporty style, hoping to make the physical fitness test go smoothly later.
Shen Jiaojiao, on the other hand, was dressed in a designer Chanel-style suit, paired with knee-high boots, and had exquisite makeup on. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was there to attend a mass matchmaking event.
Lin Muyan pursed her lips, and could roughly guess what Shen Jiaojiao was thinking.
She probably thinks that her awakened spatial ability doesn't require any physical fitness tests; all she needs to do is demonstrate her ability, and the military will be vying for her.
Judging from the Shen couple's demeanor, they seemed quite confident that Shen Jiaojiao would be selected.
[Could it be that Shen Jiaojiao thinks she looks beautiful and can become the center of attention like this?]
[Seriously, her outfit definitely made her the center of attention, but most people who looked at her rolled their eyes, probably thinking she was out of her mind...]
[I never realized before that this conspicuous bag would have so many fancy tricks up its sleeve. They're recruiting, and it's one thing not to wear sportswear, but to dress up like a butterfly—what's going on in their head?]
[Those two in the Shen family are truly bizarre; they actually tolerate Shen Jiaojiao's blatant disregard for recruiting soldiers. Do they really think this is child's play?]
I can't take it anymore, my habit of feeling embarrassed for others has kicked in again...
Lin Muyan looked away, no longer glancing at the three members of the Shen family.
At this moment, Xiao Li also spotted Lin Muyan in the corner. His face lit up with joy, and he immediately ran towards her.
Seeing this, the other officers also turned their gazes toward Lin Muyan.
"Is that the Fire Girl? It would be great if we could recruit her. So far, we haven't encountered any fire-type awakened individuals who have signed up."
"After all, he's someone with very strong superpowers. He probably doesn't want to be controlled. Once you join the military, you have to follow iron discipline, and many strong people don't like being controlled by others."
Xiao Li approached Lin Muyan, somewhat surprised and delighted: "Miss Lin, what are you doing here?"
Lin Muyan pointed in Lin Xiao's direction:
“I came with my brother to register. He said he wanted to give it a try.”
The light in Xiao Li's eyes vanished for a moment; he had thought Lin Muyan was also there to register.
However, he quickly returned to normal.
"By the way, how's Young Master Fu's awakening of his superpower?"
“These past few days, all he did at my house was play video games and bother me. I got annoyed with him and sent him back home.”
Speaking of Fu Sinian, Lin Muyan felt a bit overwhelmed.
She only has a superficial understanding of Awakened Ones and is not yet able to help Fu Sinian.
Rather than letting him waste time in the safe house, it's better to let him go home and figure it out himself.
The comments suggest that Fu Ssu-nien's awakening will come relatively late, and it's unlikely he'll achieve it anytime soon.
Upon hearing this, the light returned to Xiao Li's eyes.
"Are you free today? After your brother finishes the selection, I'll take you to see Yin Feng?"
