As Mo Tianyun looked at Major General Griffith Fred's green-brown general's uniform, a multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind.
He quickly came to his senses, and the major general was already standing in front of him.
Major General Griffith Fred looked at Mo Tianyun, and Mo Tianyun also stared at him; at that moment, the two locked eyes.
Although the atmosphere was slightly awkward, Mo Tianyun stood upright, his eyes not avoiding his gaze, but staring straight at the major general in front of him.
His cold aura was even stronger than that of Lieutenant Colonel Chris next to him, and coupled with his deep eyes, he appeared extremely dignified.
The next second, Major General Griffith Fred looked at Mo Tianyun and spoke.
"Good, very good, recruit. Take out your personal microcomputer and turn it on!"
"yes!"
Mo Tianyun raised his hand and activated his personal micro-brain.
Then, Major General Griffith Fred activated his personal microcomputer.
Major General Griffith Fred's personal microcomputer emitted a blue light towards Mo Tianyun's personal microcomputer.
drop!
Mo Tianyun's personal microcomputer beeped, and he quickly checked it.
Military merit points +100! (First place in the recruit competition)
Awarding officer: Major General Griffith Fred
drop!
drop!
Before Mo Tianyun could even feel happy, his personal micro-brain transmitted two more messages.
Your military merit points have exceeded 10. Congratulations! Your military rank has been promoted one level. You are now a Private Second Class!
Your military merit points have reached 100. Congratulations! Your military rank has been promoted by one level. You are now a Private First Class!
Private First Class!
Mo Tianyun looked and saw that after he obtained 100 military merit points, his military rank had been directly promoted by two levels, from private third class to private first class.
The Imperial Army ranks, from lowest to highest, are: Private First Class (321), Sergeant (lower, middle, upper), Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, and Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Major General, Lieutenant General, and General, and above that are Marshal, Grand Marshal, and Commander-in-Chief ranks.
I've heard there are even higher-ranking positions above that, but those aren't considered imperial military ranks anymore. The power of those higher-ranking positions extends beyond just intervening in the empire's military affairs; they can also influence other aspects of the empire's affairs.
100 military merit points are hard to obtain for an ordinary soldier, but for a combat mech division, it can be obtained by killing 1,000 ordinary Zerg.
Since 100 military merit points are easily obtained by combat mech divisions, why is the first place in the recruit competition only awarded this much?
In fact, these 100 military merit points are used to upgrade the rank of outstanding recruits.
What's the point of raising your military rank?
Soldiers of the Battle Mech Division can accept and go out to carry out missions in the mission hall of the Battle Mech Division, and this is where their rank comes into play.
Those with higher military ranks can naturally accept higher-level missions, and the rewards for completing them are more generous.
Of course, the higher the level of the mission, the greater the danger!
For those recruits who rank high in the recruit competition, their strength is sufficient to accept high-level missions. However, the military has its own rules. To accept high-level missions, one must meet the rank requirements. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you will have to start with simple missions.
Therefore, Mo Tianyun's time over the past two weeks has not been wasted. First, he received instruction in mecha operation skills from Lieutenant Colonel Chris. Then, he learned a lot of military common sense, including detailed information about the Zerg and the history of the Empire, as well as the operation methods of a large number of military equipment. Finally, he earned 100 military merit points in the recruit competition, and his rank was promoted two levels, directly becoming a private first class.
This is quite a lot of progress, and it's much better than starting with small tasks!
The first place in the recruit competition receives 100 military merit points, the second place receives 90 military merit points, the third place receives 80 military merit points, and so on, with the last place receiving 10 military merit points.
Promotion to Private Second Class was just over 10 points, so the second to tenth place in the recruit competition were all Private Second Class. Only Mo Tianyun was able to be promoted two more ranks to reach the rank of Private First Class. This is the biggest advantage of being the first place winner.
Some exceptionally strong recruits gave up as soon as they saw Mo Tianyun participate in the recruit competition. They simply weren't confident they could defeat Mo Tianyun, so they figured they might as well go do the mission!
Huh? The difference between first and second place is only 10 military merit points, which is about the same. Since I can't compete for first place, I'll settle for second place. That's not bad either, I'll still get 90 points.
This is still a bit lacking. When the top player can already take on higher-level missions, I'm only 10 military merit points short, so I can only take on lower-level missions. Why should I participate in military skills training? Wouldn't it be better to start from the lower-level missions?
After the awards ceremony, Lieutenant Colonel Chris and Major General Griffith Fred glanced back at the recruits before leaving.
Mo Tianyun watched the two high-ranking officers leave. He knew that Major General Griffith Fred was probably here to see him. Since the major general arrived, he had been observing him several times with his mental power.
He stopped interfering and focused on accumulating enough military merits to exchange for the Earth's Core.
Mo Tianyun opened his personal micro-brain and looked at the information about the Earth's core.
Earth's core
Required rank for redemption: Lieutenant (rank not yet met)
Redemption requires 3000 Military Merit Points (currently 100 Military Merit Points, insufficient).
"To earn 3000 military merit points, you need to kill one ordinary-level Zerg, or 300 elite-level Zerg, or 3 leader-level Zerg!"
"To reach the rank of lieutenant, I need to kill 10 Zerg leaders. With my current strength, that shouldn't be too difficult!"
Mo Tianyun murmured.
Military merit points can be earned by killing Zerg.
A normal Zerg kill earns 0.1 military merit points.
An elite Zerg player earns 10 military merit points for each kill.
A Zerg leader kills 1000 military merit points.
A Zerg lord-level kill earns one military merit point.
This is one source of military merit points.
Completing missions also rewards you with military merit points. The amount of military merit points awarded varies depending on the mission's level and difficulty, and each mission offers a generous amount of military merit points.
Even a relatively simple mission involves facing hundreds or thousands of Zerg, so missions are usually taken by a team of combat mech pilots, and the rewards are distributed among each teammate.
