Chapter 325: Silver Moon Traces, Recruitment Trial (Two-in-One Chapter)
Under Mu Qing's strong suppression, the figure shrouded in silver light could not move at all.
It can be seen that it tried to gather strength, and the silver light flickered violently under its urging, but it still could not resist the erosion of Mu Qing's jade light.
Finally, the silver light was dispelled by the jade light.
But what surprised Feng Qi was that the figure shrouded in the silver light was actually a puppet made of unknown material.
The puppet was silver-white and human-shaped, with mechanical holes all over its body. There
was also a silver-white crystal inlaid between its eyebrows.
The gap at the joint of the puppet could be clearly seen, and there was also a silver-white gear on the chest, which slowly rotated with the rhythm of the silver-white crystal on the forehead.
"It seems that... the weak clan alliance in the field... has become unreliable!" A sharp voice came out between the puppet's mouth.
Hearing this, Feng Qi's face turned cold.
When he first met him, he felt that the guy's voice was very strange, like electronic synthesis.
At first he thought that the task publisher wanted to disguise his identity.
Now it seems that this guy had already anticipated the possible risks of face-to-face transactions and chose to control the puppet to come.
"It seems... Feng Qi has many secrets..." The puppet spoke again at this time.
Under the suppression of Mu Qing's momentum, the spiritual consciousness that controlled the puppet was intermittent, causing the puppet to speak very unsmoothly, and even difficult to control the puppet's actions.
"How to deal with it?" Mu Qing turned his head and looked at him at this time.
At this time, the puppet grinned mockingly and revealed a crazy smile:
"If... I'm not wrong... Feng Qi should also be a certain domain force... and this domain force also controls the weak clan alliance in Xingcheng... What unexpected information!"
Facing the provocation of the puppet, Feng Qi's face was normal.
He didn't care about such provocation.
Since the launch of the super virtual game, he has been in a dangerous situation and doesn't care about the provocation of a small force at all.
As for why it is determined that this is a small force.
From a normal historical perspective, the strongest force in Xingcheng in the future is Lao Mi, who controls the Hupo Research Institute.
This small force is likely to be wiped out during the development and growth of Lao Mi.
Whether from the historical or current strength of the Dawn Breaking Organization, this small force cannot stir up any waves. What
makes him regretful is that he thought he could catch a little rat in advance.
Unexpectedly, this little rat was so cautious that he actually escaped this fishing operation.
From this point of view alone, this small force is quite capable, at least much stronger than the Night Shadow Clan who can only control the mind.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi said indifferently:
"Tear it down and take the parts back for research."
Hearing his order, Mu Qing did not hesitate, and grabbed the silver-white crystal on the forehead of the puppet with his left hand.
The puppet's extremely hard body had no resistance to Mu Qing's power. The silver-white crystal on the forehead was easily caught by Mu Qing after being twisted and sunken.
Losing its energy power, the puppet suddenly became paralyzed.
Looking at the silver-white puppet held in Mu Qing's hand, Feng Qi decided to take it back to the Tiger Soul Research Institute for research.
But to be on the safe side, he decided to give the puppet a comprehensive inspection first.
Make sure there is no monitoring, listening, positioning, or even remote-controlled explosion equipment in the puppet to prevent accidents.
Having experienced many timelines, he knew how cunning the hidden forces in these areas were.
All actions should be based on stability.
"Sir, this puppet looks familiar to me." At this time, the black dragon who had always been standing not far behind him suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, he was moved and immediately turned to look at the black dragon.
"Tell me what you have learned."
"Mr. Narrator, let me first introduce my origins to you. My people and I are from the second layer of the Black Domain in the domain world. We belong to the low-level racial forces on the second layer and rely on mining resources to supply the strong races for a living."
"In our world of the second layer of the Black Domain, there are two extremely powerful racial forces. They occupy the east and west sides of the second layer of the Black Domain respectively, and both want to encroach on each other's territorial resources. Therefore, these two forces have been at war for many years. Our Black Snake clan is loyal to one of the racial forces."
"To be honest, I was a member of the cannon fodder group and was sent to the front-line combat zone. I barely survived. I have seen powerful racial forces that are hostile to us on the battlefield. Their appearance features are very obvious, with long silver-white hair and eyes."
"In addition, they have many means to fight the enemy. They are generally good at using a silver-white longbow to kill targets remotely. Some of the tribesmen are good at driving beasts, and there are even those who use musical instruments to launch mental attacks. Among them, there are puppeteers who control silver-white puppets similar to the one just now."
After listening to the explanation of the black dragon, Feng Qi immediately asked curiously:
"What's the name of that race?"
"Silver Moon Clan!"
Hearing this name, Feng Qi's pupils suddenly shrank.
He was not unfamiliar with the name of the Silver Moon Clan.
The first powerful domain force he learned about was not the shadow force behind the Institute of Science and Technology, not the Lord of the Mist, and not the Psychic Clan.
It was the Silver Moon Clan mentioned by the Black Dragon.
In the world 1,500 years later, the reason why Sucker lost consciousness and became demented was also related to the Silver Moon Domain.
In the normal historical line, the Silver Moon Domain invaded Star City.
At that time, most of the forces of Star City were dispatched to Future City to help fight, and the situation was very critical.
Facing the crisis of Star City's destruction, it was fortunate that Sucker took action.
She fought against the attack of the Silver Moon Domain alone and finally resisted the impact of the Silver Moon Clan.
But this battle can only be said to be a tragic victory.
After the battle, the scarlet crystal embedded in the sucker shattered, and the sucker also lost consciousness and could only act under the drive of instinct.
The sucker inherited the scarlet crystal left by Mu Qing in her peak period. At that time, Mu Qing was already able to kill disaster-level domain monsters. Even if the effect of embedding the scarlet crystal for the second time would be weakened, the sucker's combat power was definitely not weak.
The answer to this can be found 1500 years later. After
1500 years, the scarlet crystal on the sucker's body had been completely broken, but the combat power was still extremely terrifying, and it could even fight with Xiao Hei for a period of time.
This shows the strength of the Silver Moon Clan at that time.
Thinking of this, a new problem arose.
He found that the time point of the Silver Moon Clan's appearance was wrong.
In the normal historical line, the time point of the Silver Moon Clan's appearance was at the end of the Dawn Army's destruction, not at this time.
But after thinking carefully, he suddenly understood.
He felt that it should be the Silver Moon Clan who sent its people to the human world in advance.
A similar case is Xiao Can and his people.
Xiao Can also sent some of his people to enter the human world first, and relied on the vanguard troops to collect resources in the human world.
What was more tragic was that during the period when Xiao Can's people were collecting resources, they also sent back the blood and flesh sacrifice technique.
As a result, the moment they descended into the human world, Xiao Can and his people were harvested by Lao Mi and collectively became Lao Mi's blood and flesh sacrifices.
He suspected that Lao Mi was probably confused at the time.
Now that I think about it, Lao Mi is really a protagonist template. Such a blessing from heaven can really happen to him.
So it is understandable that the Silver Moon tribe sent pioneers to explore the human world in advance.
But what he didn't expect was that the Silver Moon tribe had already lurked in Star City.
He had not discovered their existence in many timelines.
Thinking of this, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
The existence of the Silver Moon tribe must be a hidden danger, but he did not intend to waste time with the Silver Moon tribe now.
The Silver Moon field has not yet descended, and the current Silver Moon tribe can't make any waves.
This era does not belong to the Silver Moon tribe.
When they appeared on the stage of history, he had been dead for many years.
He still had to focus on the Science and Technology Research Institute in Future City. As for the information about the Silver Moon Clan, he would leave it to him in other timelines to explore and solve.
This battle line united all the major forces, and it was necessary to plan the future direction from the overall perspective.
The current Silver Moon Clan was obviously not qualified.
Moreover, Black Dragon only said that the silver puppet looked like a war weapon of the Silver Moon Clan, but he could not give a definite guarantee.
Thinking of this, he looked at Black Dragon and said,
"You go back. If you receive any news about the Silver Moon Clan, please inform me at any time."
"Yes." Black Dragon bowed his head respectfully, and then jumped down from the top of the building.
After Black Dragon left, Feng Qi turned his head and looked at the metal puppet that Mu Qing was holding in one hand, and then took out his mobile phone and called Dean Hu Po.
He decided to let Hu Po send staff to check the metal puppet outside first.
After the preliminary inspection confirmed that there was no problem, it would be sent back to Hu Po Research Institute for detailed inspection.
"Let's go."
"Yes!" Mu Qing nodded obediently.
Taking a step forward, Feng Qi's figure fell straight from the air, and Mu Qing immediately jumped down after him.
As his figure fell rapidly, Feng Qi switched his innate ability.
Telekinesis then came out of his body and wrapped his whole body, and his body suddenly hovered in the air. Then he used telekinesis to catch Mu Qing who fell later.
In a flash, he carried Mu Qing and flew towards the Hupo Research Institute.
...
Five months later.
Hupo Research Institute, training room.
After waking up the screen, Feng Qi began to check the latest consultations.
First of all, the content of the email.
The email contained the latest situation sent by his own forces, as well as the training situation of the military and the field war group.
He was more concerned about the development of "Dawn".
Some time ago, the new energy line had been connected to the super virtual factory outside Star City, and the number of virtual game warehouses produced daily began to increase significantly.
According to the survey report, the current market share of "Dawn" in various universities has reached 30%, and virtual game rooms have been opened in various areas of Star City and started small-scale operation. In
other words, the next step of the super virtual game plan can be launched.
The virtual game warehouse quota competition between the various schools in Star City can be started in advance.
Feng Qi is looking forward to it.
The purpose of choosing to release the super virtual game on this battle line is to quickly improve the comprehensive strength of Star City in all aspects, especially in terms of combat power.
The quota competition is held to arouse the competitive spirit of the students in the school.
Fierce competition can also significantly drive the students' desire to improve their strength.
These students will become warriors of the Dawn Organization in the near future.
After reading the content of the email, Feng Qi clicked on the permission database and found the information content of the layout competition left by the Scarlet Research Institute.
He began to check it carefully.
Among the planning projects for the virtual competition formulated by the Scarlet Research Institute, there is a project that attracted his attention.
The name of this project is "coach team training".
The specific planning content is to create a special coach team and become the exclusive coach of students and new warriors.
What surprised Feng Qi was the selection direction of the coach team members in the plan...
...
One month later.
East District of Star City, 11 o'clock in the evening.
It was drizzling, and the East District of Xingcheng was still brightly lit even in the middle of the night.
On the way home, Xiao Yu, who was drunk, stumbled and knocked over a trash can on the roadside, and then vomited.
The knocked-over trash can stretched out two mechanical claws, automatically straightened, and began to clean up Xiao Yu's vomit.
Struggling to stand up with the help of the smart trash can, Xiao Yu staggered a few steps and almost fell again.
"Do you need help calling the rescue center?"
The smart trash can suddenly asked.
"No." Xiao Yu refused fiercely, then took a step forward, and fell to the ground again.
This time he fell hard, and his right leg was split at an irregular angle.
The trouser leg was torn due to the large range of motion, revealing the metal prosthesis.
"I think you may need help."
"No!" Xiao Yu struggled to stand up again.
Looking down at his prosthesis, Xiao Yu's face showed a trace of self-mockery.
After so many years, I still can't get out.
The psychiatrist said this is called PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder.
The symptom is that the painful experience on the front line will keep flashing in the mind, and it is impossible to get out of it.
The moment he closed his eyes, Xiao Yu's mind reappeared the past scenes.
He graduated from the Winter Academy and joined the front-line supply area with his brother with the hope of a better future for mankind.
He has experienced too many tragic moments in his front-line career.
Life withers in an instant, and the brother who was joking with you just now suddenly left.
The tragic scenes in his mind kept flashing, and Xiao Yu clenched his fists at this time, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The scene of his brother being dismembered bit by bit by the domain monster seemed to be right in front of him.
The helpless cry hit his nerves.
"Ah!" While roaring, Xiao Yu punched the lamppost on the side of the road.
The lamppost suddenly bent under his power, and the light bulb began to flicker and become unstable.
[It is detected that you are damaging public facilities, and the compensation mechanism is activated. Your identity information is being checked. 】
At this time, the smart trash can on the roadside issued a warning, and then released a light aimed at Xiao Yu's face.
[Your identity information is detected as Xiao Yu, a veteran of the front line. Since you are a recipient of the Human Outstanding Medal, this fine is waived. I ask again if you need help. 】
"I said, no!" Xiao Yu opened his red eyes and roared at the smart trash can.
After that, he staggered towards home.
After so many years, he still couldn't get out of that despair.
In the field battle group he personally formed, he was the only one who survived.
In the fierce battle, his wife died in the battle, his brother died in the battle, and all his brothers died in the battle.
He was the only one who survived and lost his legs and had prostheses installed. When he
woke up and learned about all this, he was eager for revenge, wanted to return to the front line, and continue to fight until he died.
But at this time he was told that he had to retire and could no longer go to the front line.
He questioned the staff of the battle group headquarters, saying that he had lost everything, so what was the point of living like this, it would be better to return to the front line and do his last strength.
In the face of his questioning, the staff of the regiment headquarters did not respond, but silently arranged the discharge process for him.
After being sent back to Star City, he wanted to return to the front more than once.
But all applications were rejected.
He was already a useless person, and it seemed meaningless to him to live like this.
He dedicated his whole life to the front line, and his relatives died on the front line, but he had to live in the main city for the rest of his life.
This kind of pain was unbearable for him.
He could only choose to drink to numb his nerves.
But even when drunk, the experience on the front line was still vivid, like a nightmare that could not be shaken off.
After staggering forward for dozens of meters, he held the lamppost on the side of the road and couldn't help vomiting again.
The glory of a warrior is to die in battle.
This sentence was said by the captain when he first stepped into the front line.
At that time, he thought this sentence was just used to show off, but now he really felt the meaning behind this sentence.
It would be better to die in battle at that time than to live like this.
But thinking that the domain field that killed his relatives and brothers has not been dispelled yet, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart.
But he knew that he could never go back to the front.
Even if he bought a ticket to the front, it would be forcibly cancelled.
He knew that this was protection for him.
But he didn't need this kind of shit protection at all.
After stumbling forward for a while, he suddenly found a store he had never seen before on the corner of the street.
When he arrived in front of the store, Xiao Yu looked up.
"Virtual game room?"
Even in the middle of the night, the store was still open, and there was a poster posted in front of the door.
The poster showed several background pictures of the front line, and words such as real simulated battles were written on it.
Seeing these contents, Xiao Yu's face showed a trace of disdain.
In his opinion, this is just a gimmick for game companies to make money.
Just as he was about to leave, a recruitment notice under the poster caught his attention.
[Veteran Recruitment]:
Recruiting virtual combat coaches.
Initial requirements: five years or more of front-line combat experience, and personal strength evaluation has reached: Silver·Lower Level and above.
Perfection requirements: Applicants must have strong combat qualities, strong practical skills and experience, and veterans with command experience will be given priority.
Disabled, injured and sick veterans who meet the requirements can apply.
Registration requirements: Enter "Dawn" and pass the virtual coach trial assessment.
...
At the end of the recruitment notice, there is another line of text.
[Once the fire of faith is ignited, it will never go out again. Have you ever thought about setting sail again after returning to ordinary life? Then come on, even if you no longer set foot on the land of the front line, the young face will carry your faith on the journey. ]
[Veteran, you are welcome to join! ]
The last sentence of the recruitment notice inexplicably touched Xiao Yu's heart.
During the depressed years after his retirement, he thought of many ways to return to the front line, but all failed.
So he took a different approach and wanted to become a teacher in the school to train future soldiers.
Let them carry their beliefs and continue on the road to the front line.
But after being seriously injured, he broke both legs, and the dantian that stored spiritual energy was also half-wasted, so he couldn't teach actual combat at all.
If it is to teach theory, there are too many instructors in the academy who are more suitable than him.
This road is impossible for him, a useless person.
Looking at the text of the notice, the extinguished fire in his heart suddenly ignited a flame.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the glass door with a trembling body and stepped into the virtual game room.
The decoration of the virtual game room is black and blue, full of technology. There are 20 virtual game cabins in it, and each virtual game cabin is separated from each other by opaque black glass.
More than half of the game cabins are green lights on and are vacant and unused.
When he came to one of the glass doors, there was a price list posted on it, which detailed the use of the virtual game cabin and the cost of use.
The price is not high, and it is a price that ordinary people can accept, only 15 per hour.
After reaching out and pressing the "open" button, an electronic synthesized voice sounded:
"Your identity has been confirmed, and the payment will be automatically deducted during use!"
The glass door opened at this time.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu stepped into the glass door.
According to the instructions, he changed his clothes, then started the game cabin and got in.
After going through the naming and novice tutorial according to the process, Xiao Yu's figure appeared in the center of the virtual city.
The real scene in front of him stunned Xiao Yu.
For this virtual game, he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the game's realism had reached the level of almost completely simulating reality.
More importantly, his legs reappeared in the virtual world.
Unbelievably, he subconsciously reached out and pinched his right leg.
The familiar pain feedback made his eyes red.
He suddenly realized the significance of the publisher of this game recruiting veterans.
This game is essentially not just a game, but it wants to be a training ground.
Veterans have extremely strong combat capabilities, but they have to retire due to injuries, disabilities and other reasons, but in this game, the combat skills and experience they have honed can shine and heat up again.
While he was excited, he called out the function panel according to the process in the recruitment instructions.
In the drop-down menu, he found the "coach trial task".
After clicking, a pop-up window appeared.
[Do you want to start the coach recruitment trial? ]
Yes!
[Coach recruitment trial is open, trial task 1: Ranked mode reaches diamond, and above rank evaluation, current rank: no rank]
Without hesitation, Xiao Yu decisively closed the page and opened the ranking match mode.
...
Xiao Yu did not log off for the next three days.
In just three days, he rushed to the diamond rank.
The winning rate reached a terrifying 94.8%.
Years of front-line command experience allowed him to quickly formulate a battle plan and lead the team to victory.
His personal kill participation rate accounted for more than 50% of the team.
His excellent record was even screenshotted and posted on the newly established "Dawn" discussion platform, becoming the subject of heated discussion among many players.
After completing the first level of the trial, Xiao Yu accepted the test of the second level.
This trial is to participate in the group battle ranking of 100 people, and requires each battle to obtain a command score of A level or above.
This is much more difficult than the test of the first level. The
100-person ranking competition is full of variables. Players in the game are balancing data, and it is difficult to determine the outcome by relying on individuals.
Battlefield command ability is particularly important.
This time, Xiao Yu once again completed the assessment project with extremely impressive data.
The command score remained at the A-SS level.
After completing the two assessments, a pop-up window appeared in front of Xiao Yu.
[Entering the review stage, your information has been paid attention to, please wait for a phone call! ]
Seeing that he passed the preliminary review, Xiao Yu was excited.
But thinking of the repeated rejections before, a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.
This time, he was also not sure of success.
Calling up the function menu, he chose to quit the game after not being offline for several days.
As the game compartment opened, the electronic sound of successful deduction sounded.
The holes around began to absorb the nutrient solution.
After getting up and dressing, Xiao Yu subconsciously took out his mobile phone and took a look.
The emotion of expectation and fear of failure made him sigh.
...
Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Training room.
Feng Qi sat in front of the screen, checking the content of the email.
At this time, a new notification content appeared in the lower right corner.
After clicking on the jumping information, a pop-up window suddenly appeared, and a photo of a haggard man came into view.
As he flipped through it, a smile appeared on Feng Qi's face.
Leader
of the Python Regiment, recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution to Humanity, (formerly) upper-level silver strength, seven years of front-line command experience. He didn't expect that the plan to form a virtual coaching team had just started, and he recruited a general.
The information shows that Xiao Yu in reality is already disabled.
But this problem is not a problem in Feng Qi's eyes. What
he values is Xiao Yu's ability.
In "Dawn", his abilities and consciousness can be taught to students and new fighters in actual combat in the training room.
These precious practical techniques are invaluable treasures for "Dawn" and the construction of Star City's combat power.
After reviewing Xiao Yu's detailed information, Feng Qi took out his mobile phone.
...
In the dim room, there were a lot of cigarette butts lying on the ground.
Xiao Yu, with red eyes, smoked one cigarette after another, and looked at the mobile phone on the table from time to time. He
had been decadent for many years, but "Dawn" ignited the flame of hope in his heart.
He really didn't want to miss it.
The sentence in the recruitment notice, "The young face will carry your faith on the journey", was full of lethality to him. He
took a deep puff of smoke, and the sparks spread quickly backwards.
He exhaled a cloud of white mist with trembling hands, and his emotions seemed to fluctuate.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly.
He immediately picked up the phone at a very fast speed and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, I am Xiao Li, staff member A011 of Xingcheng Veterans Sanatorium. I checked the records and found that you haven't had a physical examination for five months. Do you need a home physical examination and monitoring of other items?
"In addition, your prosthesis has not been maintained for a long time. Do you need home help with maintenance and repairs?"
"No. "Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, all our services are free, and we will not charge you any extra fees. As a recipient of the Human Outstanding Medal, you can also enjoy additional benefits..."
Before the staff on the other end of the phone finished speaking, Xiao Yu forcibly hung up the phone.
He is indeed a disabled person.
He also knows that this is a variety of assistance services provided by Xingcheng to help retired veterans, with the aim of enabling veterans to better adapt to life after retirement.
But he was very resistant to this feeling of being treated specially.
At this moment, the phone rang again.
Is it never going to end!
After answering the phone, Xiao Yu, who was in a very bad mood, roared directly:
"Ah, what's the matter!"
Hearing the roar, Feng Qi on the other end of the phone was stunned.
As expected of a retired veteran from the front line, he was indeed very imposing when answering the phone, and he even roared at the beginning.
After a brief surprise, Feng Qi immediately said:
"Excuse me, is this the retired veteran Xiao Yu?"
"Yes!"
"I am the person in charge of recruiting the virtual coaching team. Do you have time to talk about your application to join the virtual coaching team? "
Xiao Yu, who was about to hang up the phone, was startled when he heard the other party's identity. He quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand, then held the phone to his ear and said anxiously:
"Yes, it must be, you can talk about anything you want!"
Feng Qi: ???
Why are you so unimpressive all of a sudden?
Awooo~
