Chapter 46: The Military Department’s Special Advance Edition of the New Book
In fact, when Yu Mian was looking for the military department building with the recommendation letter in his hand, he already felt a completely different atmosphere.
If the company groups such as Huanyu and Xingqiong located in the central CBD area give people a prosperous business atmosphere of a modern interstellar city.
Then the federal government area located in the central star east area has a solemn and calm taste.
However, the majestic and solemn military department building in front of him is full of people coming and going.
After all, many comprehensive affairs of the military department are also handled here, such as the relevant procedures for retired soldiers, the redemption of many military merit points for active soldiers, etc., basically need to go to the military district headquarters.
"Hello, do I submit the internship recommendation letter here?"
Despite this, when Yu Mian handed over the recommendation letter in his hand, everyone in the hall subconsciously looked over.
To be honest, among this group of 1.8-meter or even 2-meter-tall rough men in military uniforms, Yu Mian, who looked harmless in a camel-colored coat and a white backpack, was indeed very eye-catching.
His skin under his chestnut hair was so white that it seemed to be glowing.
Not to mention the sound of Yu Mian's voice when he handed the letter to the window guide, which inexplicably made many young warriors who were secretly paying attention to this place feel relaxed.
Subconsciously, I couldn't help but want to take a few more glances at what the person who was speaking looked like.
"Yes, it's here, but we need to verify the authenticity of the person who recommended you in the letter. Can you please wait for a moment?"
Even the window guide looked at Yu Mian in front of him and his tone softened.
However, when the guide, who was smiling, opened the letter in his hand and saw the name of the signer, his eyes widened slightly.
"?"
This made Yu Mian a little nervous.
"Excuse me, is there any problem with the recommendation letter?"
Is it fake? Or what...
"No, no, no, I will give you a reply after verifying it immediately. Do you need to go to the lounge and wait for a while?"
The guide immediately shook his head to explain, and hurriedly looked for his superior to verify the recommendation letter. Yu Mian was taken to the lounge lobby and even handed a glass of warm water.
"Thank you!"
Yu Mian held the water cup in his hand and couldn't help but smile and thank him.
"It's my duty. You're too polite."
The young warrior immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, and couldn't help but stare at Yu Mian for a few more times.
Who is this person to Colonel Huo Ting?
After all, they don't look like him.
You know, the letter of introduction actually has Colonel Huo Ting's private seal.
However, just when Yu Mian was about to feel embarrassed by being stared at, a voice finally came from outside the door!
"No, no, I'll take the person away..."
When Secretary Hals' familiar voice reached his ears, Yu Mian almost stared at him with sparkling eyes, and even waved his hand subconsciously.
"Secretary Hals?!"
"Haha, we meet again. I thought you were not going to use this letter of recommendation."
The moment Secretary Hals saw Yu Mian, he couldn't help laughing, causing the people following behind him to look at Yu Mian with even more strange eyes.
Could it be that some kid from the Huo family really came to the military for an internship?
Otherwise, why would Secretary Hals come to pick him up in person?
You know, if you want to see Secretary Hals normally, it's basically only during the regular meetings of the military that you can occasionally see Secretary Hals attending the meeting.
Not to mention the First Corps to which Corps Commander Huo Ting belongs, which has a very special status in the military.
"Hey, I just suddenly wanted to try it, and I didn't expect it to be really useful. Why did you come here in person?"
Yu Mian looked at Secretary Hals and chatted with him familiarly as usual. After all, Secretary Hals was very kind every time they met, so it was naturally difficult for Yu Mian to have the kind of awe that ordinary people have.
"You are such a special talent who is willing to come to our military for internship. Of course, we have to receive you seriously."
In response to Yu Mian's inquiry, Hals laughed. He couldn't say in public that Huo Ting specially asked him to come and take a look.
Why didn't I realize before that my young master is such a hypocritical guy.
However, because of Secretary Hals, Yu Mian's internship and employment did save a lot of steps, but several routine tests were still necessary.
After all, this is indeed related to whether one is qualified to enter the job internship smoothly.
However, when Yu Mian was taken to measure his mental strength, some strange accidents occurred.
"Don't be nervous, just put your hand on the instrument and relax your mind."
"If the main test is the strength of your mental strength, you can be evaluated for your suitable position. After all, if you don't have enough mental strength, it will be difficult to take over many specific matters in the army."
Under the gentle explanation of the tester on the side, Yu Mian also curiously reached out and touched the transparent crystal ball.
Why does it feel like this is something that tests spiritual roots in fantasy novels?
And it turns out that soldiers in the army also need to check their mental strength regularly like this?
Just the simple job introduction made Yu Mian feel like he was writing down writing materials in his head.
It was true that if you didn't come and take a look around in person, you would not know the details at all.
Just at the moment when Yu Mian was in a very relaxed mood and accepted the mental power test, the light of the instrument in front of him gradually became brighter, and the numerical page on the display next to him rose rapidly.
At first, when the value was still within 300, everyone just thought it was good.
But when the value gradually climbed to 500, some people's eyes began to change, and even subconsciously looked at Secretary Hals.
However, the strange thing is that Secretary Hals himself also looked a little strange.
It wasn’t until the data rushed all the way to the 700 mark that someone finally couldn’t help but exclaimed:
“Oh my God, what’s going on!?”
“Huh?”
Yu Mian, whose thoughts were suddenly interrupted, subconsciously looked at the staff member who screamed, so that the rising trend of the data also slowed down.
It just stopped at the value of 705.
"Is there any problem...?"
Yu Mian looked at the value in front of him with guilt, and then looked at Secretary Hals not far away.
"Well, how should I put it, you are really a special talent, to be honest."
Even Secretary Hals had a strange and complicated expression.
It was a bit unbelievable that Young Master Huo Yan was so lucky that he just found a passerby to help him go to the parents' meeting, and his mental power actually broke 700.
Even Secretary Hals was a little suspicious, if Yu Mian had not been interrupted, would this value be a little higher.
But how should I put it... the current 705 is just an extremely perfect data.
It is a very top-notch level within the legion, but it does not appear to be too bizarre and outstanding.
"But what a pity, your mental power attribute does not have any offensive properties?!"
Just when the tester could not help but get excited, when he really got the detailed report, he found with regret that the mental power data of the young intern in front of him was indeed top-notch.
But he did not have any offensive behavior.
"Is it so magical that you can see the attributes?"
Yu Mian himself did not have any regrets. Instead, he took the data sheet curiously and read it.
[Fortunately, you were interrupted... Your current mental power has long surpassed that of ordinary people in the Federation. Even many senior officers are not as good as you. 】
The small system couldn't help but explain.
"It doesn't matter, this is very suitable for clerical work in the military."
Secretary Hals also subconsciously explained in a comforting manner.
To a certain extent, this wonderful attribute of mental power can do things that some high-attack mental power owners can't do.
For example... it will not trigger an incompatible attack state for high-mental power people at all, but will only make people feel very close.
"I think this is pretty good, actually."
Yu Mian also echoed.
After all, I am a stay-at-home scum with a combat power of five, why would I engage in interstellar wars orz.
But when Yu Mian was led all the way to his workstation, he found that Secretary Hals's office was not far away.
Could it be that Huo Ting's guy will also appear here?
"Someone will come to arrange some simple onboarding matters for you later. Don't be nervous. After all, this is just a universal internship position set up by the federal government. Although the salary is not high, the work content is not difficult."
"Just choose about 3 half-days a week to be on duty. You can contact me at any time if you have anything. If you eat, this temporary work card can also be used in the cafeteria and for identity verification."
Secretary Hals smiled and explained, which made Yu Mian, who came to the interstellar job for the first time, feel proud and satisfied.
"Okay! I will complete the task!"
In fact, when Yu Mian really devoted himself to the military-related work, he really quickly understood the huge things in this interstellar era, which made the preparation progress of the third book soar.
And because Yu Mian is good at writing, many soldiers in the army who are troubled by various speeches or paperwork can be helped by Yu Mian, the new intern, to revise them and turn them into gold.
So much so that after a few weeks of internship, Yu Mian has become the recognized favorite in the military office! After all,
how can there be an angel who is so beautiful, has such a good personality, and is even extremely helpful! ? [Crazy and moved to tears]
In fact, Yu Mian just collects a lot of strange stories in the army or writing materials every time he chats with these military soldiers.
Yu Mian was of course very happy about this. As for helping to revise the manuscript, he wrote tens of thousands of words every day, so this was not a small thing.
The two sides were mutually beneficial and harmonious!
Except for the few weeks since I came, I haven't seen Huo Ting much, and even Secretary Hals has rarely been seen. It seems that he suddenly received some temporary mission to the next galaxy.
Is this guy so busy...
Every time Yu Mian passed by the closed office door with materials, he couldn't help but be a little curious about where Huo Ting went.
Although I am usually afraid that this guy will run into me when he returns to the study, I feel a little uncomfortable after not being there for a while?
"Sir, why don't we let Yu Mian stay in the Corps Office? Otherwise, I can't imagine how sad we will be if he leaves."
Just now, a moving and joyful howl came from the office, and before anyone could respond, the office door was suddenly opened.
"What do you mean by stay?"
When Huo Ting was a little confused, everyone couldn't help but stand up and salute immediately, blushing and embarrassed to say that Yu Mian had helped everyone with writing during this period.
Secretary Hals also appeared behind Huo Ting with a smile, looking at Yu Mian not far away.
I didn't expect this little writer to adapt so well.
And because Huo Ting was present, the people who usually rushed to invite Yu Mian to have dinner together also said goodbye nervously, so that in the end, only Yu Mian was left, who looked up blankly from the manuscript and found that everyone had run away.
"Eat together?"
Huo Ting looked at Yu Mian in front of him, and felt that he hadn't seen him for a long time.
"Great! You're back?"
Yu Mian looked at Huo Ting in front of him, but he was not nervous at all. Instead, he seemed to have seen a mountain of gold, so he agreed without hesitation.
You know, I have almost figured out all the basic links during this period of time, so isn't it just a matter of interviewing a big boss like Huo Ting?
"......?"
This made Huo Ting look at Yu Mian's sparkling eyes a little unnaturally.
Secretary Hals was even more suspicious and discovered that after not seeing this young writer for a while, he seemed to have become more courageous.
"So do your soldiers often go to the battlefields of other galaxies? Or do they spend most of their time training in the army?"
"So what kind of performance can be considered good enough to get a promotion? How many military merits must be accumulated? The way to accumulate military merits..."
When Yu Mian couldn't help but "interview" Huo Ting about many details along the way, Huo Ting also patiently asked and answered them one by one.
After all, these questions are indeed not confidential, and are more like the curiosity of military fans about some military regulations or daily life.
Occasionally, when Huo Ting's concise answers were not easy to understand, Secretary Hals would add a few sentences.
As a result, Yu Mian was very satisfied!
It turns out that chatting with core professionals is more efficient, and you can even hear some strange news and secrets about alien galaxies!
Isn't this more interesting than federal news?
"So you are also inspired to write a novel with a military theme? After all, your good friend has been preparing a manuscript recently."
Secretary Hals looked at Yu Mian in the cafeteria and couldn't help asking a question that Huo Ting was also curious about.
"Ahem, kind of. I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge from this internship. It's a very different experience compared to staying in the house and reading books."
Yu Mian recalled his internship experience during this period and was really moved.
But this made Huo Ting look at Yu Mian seriously.
"What about your parents and family?"
Usually, there is no sign of any other social interaction, and even work is just an internship for experience.
?
Yu Mian was suddenly asked this question and was a little stunned for a while.
In fact, the original identity setting in this world is indeed that he has never known the existence of his parents since he was a child.
When I asked the system at that time, the system also said that it seemed that the original book of the small world did not write any detailed settings in this regard, resulting in this content being blank.
But it seems that my parents can't see me anymore, although I don't know whether they know the news of my sudden death while working at sea.
Thinking of his parents suddenly, Yu Mian suddenly felt a little depressed.
This fell into the eyes of Huo Ting and others, and naturally caused some subtle misunderstandings.
"Sorry? Did I ask something I shouldn't ask."
When Huo Ting looked at Yu Mian, who inexplicably didn't even move his chopsticks, he subconsciously apologized softly.
"No, my parents love me very much, but I am temporarily separated from them. They may just be in a very far place."
Yu Mian thought about the final answer, which made Huo Ting's expression change a little.
After all, what Yu Mian didn't know was that after being stunned for a moment at first, he supplemented the follow-up with a little stiffness. This behavior is indeed easy to cause some misunderstandings.
Master, you seem to have asked a very bad question! Minefield! !
Secretary Hals almost signaled with crazy eyes.
"...Me too."
So after a period of silence, Yu Mian vaguely heard Huo Ting's response and immediately looked up.
Yes.
Yu Mian suddenly remembered the chat she had with that young man Huo Yan. Huo Ting's father seemed to have died in the war, and he had never seen his mother.
Is this guy comforting himself?
"Ahem, don't be so serious. Come to think of it, you don't seem to like fish very much?"
Secretary Hals saw that the topic was becoming more and more dangerous, and couldn't help but liven up the atmosphere. Seeing the untouched fish on Yu Mian's plate, he changed the topic.
This caught Huo Ting's attention.
Is this little writer quite picky about food?
"Uh uh uh, it's okay. I prefer to go to the seaside to see the fish..."
In fact, he was just not very good at picking out fish bones. There were so many fish bones in the starry sky.
Yu Mian explained a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, underwater sightseeing? Come to think of it, there is also a big fish tank in the study of Colonel Huo Ting. One of the fish in it is super beautiful and really suitable for viewing."
Secretary Hals unexpectedly brought up the topic of the big fish tank in the study, causing Yu Mian, who was drinking soup, to cough so hard that she almost couldn't react.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Ting looked at Yu Mian, also a little confused.
"I was just stung. Sorry. You have a fish tank in your study, so amazing!"
Yu Mian tried to agree as if nothing had happened.
"...I didn't want to raise it."
Huo Ting explained subtly and persistently.
"Isn't it you who wanted to raise it?"
Yu Mian suddenly recalled the painful experience of being almost thrown into the fish tank, and immediately stared at Huo Ting with wide eyes.
Huo Ting:?
"The old man in the family just wants to raise it."
Speaking of which, it seems that the grandfather will be back soon, and then the fish tank issue will have to be dealt with thoroughly.
At this moment when Huo Ting was thinking in his heart, Yu Mian couldn't help but speak with inner sorrow.
"Ah? Why don't you like the fish tank? If the fish tank is very beautiful, with many small fish swimming around in it, it can make the home full of vitality. And if you can only go to the aquarium to see fish normally, it would be great if you can see them in the study now! And..."
Yu Mian tried to list many advantages to Huo Ting in order to completely dispel Huo Ting's dangerous idea of throwing away the fish tank.
Why is this guy so stubborn!
God!
Secretary Hals couldn't help laughing after hearing these words.
Because I have persuaded the young master countless times in the past, why didn't I expect that what the little writer said today would be particularly useful? ?
After all, Huo Ting looked at Yu Mian's serious list of advantages, as if he was really considering it seriously.
"Do you like raising fish?"
Huo Ting's last thoughtful question instantly choked Yu Mian.
"Well... yes! Don't you like raising fish? Wouldn't it be a sense of accomplishment to watch the little fish grow up little by little?!"
Yu Mian tried hard to persuade Huo Ting again, but he didn't think that if he was too strong, it would lead to some strange consequences...
So much so that after lunch, after watching Yu Mian leave, Secretary Hals, who returned to the office, couldn't help but take advantage of the situation to add insult to injury.
"Look, there's nothing wrong with putting a fish tank in the study, and you can have common topics with young people. For example, that young writer seems to be very interesting!"
Huo Ting, who looked down at the materials in his hand, did not answer Hals directly, but just turned the page silently.
"How is the preparation of that author's book?"
"Well, I guess I'll have to let □□ go and communicate with him. After all, it should take a little time to create a work?"
When this matter was suddenly mentioned, Secretary Hals also remembered that it seemed that he hadn't urged the manuscript for a while.
Moreover, during the period when Yu Mian was interning, the plot of "Eternal Night Rose" was indeed developing rapidly with daily updates, which made the readers of Star Interstellar scream.
I just feel that Yu Tangmian's writing skills have become more mature after "Agreement Marriage". The various plot twists and worldview developments in "Eternal Night Rose" make people read it very smoothly.
Although in the conspiracy analysis of the plot caused by the last update, countless people speculated whether there would be a knife in this plot, which was very worrying.
However, with the deepening of the relationship between Delevin and Su Yan in this wave of major updates of "Eternal Night Rose", most readers have already been willing to eat sugar.
Who cares if you have a knife or not, this is candy!
Who can resist it?
And just after the night when the old palace steward Bazak found his own Majesty Dreven, a new crisis soon broke out in the territory.
Even this time, the crisis was directed at Su Yan, who was regarded as a prophet by the people in the territory during these days.
Because the nutrient solution invented by Su Yan suddenly had problems in use, many residents in the territory developed abnormal physical conditions after taking it. What
's more critical is that someone discovered that the vampires also got the nutrient solution!
Su Yan was naturally extremely puzzled and worried about this, but no matter how hard Su Yan tried to refute it, he was still judged by several core elders in the territory as needing to be observed and evaluated.
Although Xiao, the leader of the hunting team, strongly protested and was even willing to be a guarantor to guarantee that Su Yan would never do anything that would harm the interests of mankind, Su Yan was still confined to the house.
In fact, Su Yan was not completely unaware of the real reason for this crisis. After all
, since his appearance, the balance of power in the entire territory has indeed been broken, and even to a certain extent, the authority of those elders has been affected.
But what hurt Su Yan the most was probably the feeling of not being trusted, or even being suspected.
Those who used to enthusiastically call him a prophet now avoid looking at him.
He seemed to really suspect that he, who brought so many new things that transcended the times, was a trap set by the Bart tribe.
[“Meiqiu, do you also think I did it?”
When Su Yan was talking to himself, hugging his knees and looking at the plush ball in front of him on a moonlit night, he suddenly saw that Delevin had turned back into a human being and even walked up to him silently.
"It won't be you."
"You've always been good."
Dreven's earnest and low voice rang in his ears, and he even imitated Su Yan's previous actions, reaching out to touch Su Yan's head and gently kissing the young man's forehead.
It had nothing to do with any lust, but was more like an extremely pure comfort and companionship.
So much so that Su Yan couldn't help but feel a sour eye for the first time.
Because when he was betrayed, the people who trusted him were not the many people he had helped before, but Coal Ball, the alien he had picked up from the forest.
I even once doubted whether Coal Ball was from the Bart tribe...】
But in fact, Dreven had long observed that Su Yan, who had traveled back this time, still caused imbalance and conflict in the territory with his overly selfless dedication to mankind.
But Dreven did not take the initiative to point it out, but wanted Su Yan to see with his own eyes that humans are not so pure and perfect.
There are also traitors here.
Just like the nutrient solution that was presented all the way to his palace.
So under Dreven's instruction, the old butler Bazak, although puzzled, still found out everything from Count Coles of Thorn Flower!
In fact, it was precisely the traitors in the territory who had been secretly passing all kinds of information about the human race to the vampire territory in exchange for benefits.
The reason for this abnormal behavior was precisely related to a special talent possessed by the Bart tribe.
That is - the first possession.
Once the Bart tribe is willing to give a human the power of immortality, they can transform the originally weak human into a new Bart tribe in this way, thereby obtaining the legendary immortality and endless wealth.
Let these humans transform from "hunted" who could only survive in the wolves and wolves, to "hunters" at the top of the food chain!
Because of this, although the human race has long tried to completely overthrow the rule of the Bart tribe, there will be a continuous defection and loss of various cutting-edge forces under the temptation of the blood clan's first possession... They
even sell all kinds of precious information and data resources to the Bart tribe, just to obtain the first possession of a certain vampire noble.
In fact, when the plot of "Eternal Night Rose" developed to this point, it simply surprised countless interstellar readers and made them feel extremely complicated.
After all, everyone had thought of countless reasons before, such as the Bart tribe's active evil behavior that caused the crisis in the human territory, but they didn't expect that the most evil existence was the greedy human traitor!
[Ahhh——I am so angry after reading this, help me, it was Su Yan who helped them so much, but now they are blaming Su Yan?!]
[I am so angry too, they are not even as good as the Bart tribe! After all, the Bart tribe has never been so cunning, these guys want to gain eternal life so much that they can sell out their compatriots and put other humans in danger?]
[So this is why I think "Eternal Night Rose" can make me think more than "Agreed Marriage"... because there are many plots in the book, although I feel unexpected at first glance, but when you look into it carefully, you will find that all of this has actually happened in history and there are countless painful lessons!]
And it is precisely because "The Rose of Eternal Night" involves the theme of the war history of the Blood Moon Chronicle that this second book presents a more complex and varied connotation than "The Marriage of Agreement".
It is not only about the love of thousands of years intertwined in the time travel, but also about the ancient and obscure war history and human nature.
When many interstellar readers read the intense plot, they will even subconsciously recall the countless real history and lessons that happened in the bloody years when the Interstellar Federation was established.
So much so that a book "The Rose of Eternal Night" has set off a trend of remembering the history of the founding of the Federation on the Star Network!
[I can only say that every book written by Yu Tangmian can bring new surprises TAT. I never thought that a book called "Eternal Night Rose" would make me feel so sad! ]
While countless readers on StarNet were shocked by the updates of "Eternal Night Rose" during this period, Yu Mian had unknowingly saved the first volume of his third new book.
[Yu: It's like this, because "Eternal Night Rose" has not been completely finished, I don't plan to publish it publicly on the platform for the time being. But maybe I can send it to you in advance for experimentation? If it is confirmed that it is really effective for mental strength, we will see what to do next? ]
The person in charge naturally has no problem with this.
[Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation! Thank you very much for the quick completion of the draft. The relevant royalties and research fees will also be deposited into your account. As for the experimental results, we will also give you feedback as soon as possible. 】
So not long after, the federal military soldiers who were selected as the first batch of experiments suddenly received a booklet in a collective meeting.
The thin booklet was not thick, but there was a line of words in the upper left corner: "Internal information, please keep it."
The author's signature was also very simple, with only two letters "YU".
What kind of internal information is this? !
