Chapter 158 Military Affairs of the Military World, Begin! (Final Chapter of this Volume)
"Old Chen!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile when he saw the dusty Chen Shijie. "You're finally here."

"Hey, you call me Lao Chen when I'm such a grown-up?" Long Xiao was immediately unhappy.

"Haha, I'm blind, brave captain, please come in." Zhao Xing said exaggeratedly.

"Hmph, who wants to come to your place?" Long Xiao shook the box on his back, lowered his head and walked around Zhao Xing.

"Hiss, you're not really angry, are you?" Zhao Xing looked at Chen Shijie.

"It's okay." Chen Shijie smiled and shook his head, "He just talks tough."

"I thought you guys wouldn't come and sold me for a good price." Zhao Xing said, "But I had to wait so long."

"The Tiger Dragon Army did offer a good price." Chen Shijie said, "Do you want to know the specific price?"

"think."

The two of them walked and talked.

"Wei Yuan came to me three times."

"The last time, he offered a price of one sixth-tier magic weapon and four fifth-tier magic weapons. He was also willing to exchange Fengqiu from Tianshiyuan for you."

"So much?" Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows. He had to admit that it was bold to offer such a price. The eyes of the strong were really sharp.

"To be honest, this is a very tempting price." Chen Shijie said with a smile, "One sixth-tier magic weapon and four fifth-tier magic weapons, all for me, Chen Shijie. And I brought you in, so as long as I personally nod and give a Fengqiu to the Shenwei Army, the Marquis will also give Marquis Mingwu this face."

"I'm so valuable, why don't you sell it to me?" Zhao Xing asked jokingly.

"I, Chen Shijie, will not sell out my comrades." Chen Shijie said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, even if you give me a treasure, I will not use it as a trade unless you are willing to leave."

"How do you know I don't want to leave?" Zhao Xing asked back.

"How can what I did in Gucheng be considered so much of a favor?" Chen Shijie said with a smile, "Look at what you said to Wei Yuan. You said you saved my life, you taught me, you showed me your talents... As soon as I heard you, I knew you wanted to use me to reject the Tiger Dragon Army."

"You have great ambitions. Although you are not arrogant, you have a proud character. Why do you need others to give you the road to success?"

"I don't even need to write to you to ask what you think."

Zhao Xing smiled.

Thousands of gold are easy to get, but confidants are hard to find.

It must be said that Lao Chen really suits my taste.

When I walked into the room, I saw Long Xiao unpacking the box.

"Meow~"

A little head popped out of the box and called out to Long Xiao.

However, it seemed to sense something and suddenly looked at Zhao Xing.

"Meow? Meow!"

With a whoosh, the mountain cat suddenly jumped into Zhao Xing's arms and rubbed against him frantically.

"The little mountain cat has grown so big." Zhao Xing mentioned the mountain cat. Before entering the Shiyang Cave Heaven, the mountain cat and Zhao Xing were separated.

At that time, the bobcat was no more than half a meter long.

It is now over one meter tall, and its fur is still gray and black in texture, but its skin is brighter, with a small tuft of golden hair on the top of its forehead, and a line of purple-gold running along its back all the way to its tail.

This size is still not big, but Zhao Xing held the mountain cat as if he was holding a mountain.

No wonder Long Xiao looked a little tired carrying the box, this thing alone weighs several hundred kilograms!

"This……"

Zhao Xing subconsciously pinched the mountain cat, then looked at Chen Shijie with surprise.

The latter nodded and said, "It's just as you thought. The mountain cat is already a seventh-grade exotic beast. It has passed the cub stage and entered the growth stage."

"The mountain cat's golden bones have just taken shape, its blood and qi are like mercury, its bone marrow is like thunder wood, its vitality is vigorous and strong, it has been cultivated till now, and it almost ate me and Long Xiao to death."

It’s thoughtful. Chen Shijie is really thoughtful.

If the mountain cat was placed in Shiyang Cave Heaven, I am afraid I would not be able to take such good care of it, let alone let the mountain cat transform to the seventh level.

It was Chen Shijie, the military minister of agriculture, who had mastered the method of climate change, and combined with precious food, he was able to allow the mountain cat to make a perfect advancement.

It is extremely rare for a seventh-grade person to possess golden bones and thunder wood in the bone marrow!
In Zhao Xing's words, this is the perfect refinement of the mountain cat's attributes!

"What mountain cat? It has a name now!" Long Xiao held the mountain cat in his arms dissatisfiedly, "Boy, I raised it so well, it's not too much to give it a name, right?"

"Not too much." Zhao Xing smiled and said, "What's your name?"

Chen Shijie held his forehead with his hand.

"Old Chen, what do you mean? Do you still think the name I gave you is not nice?!" Long Xiao glared at Chen Shijie.

"I didn't." Chen Shijie waved his hand.

"Then why did you say mountain cat when you introduced it just now instead of calling it by its name?"

"..." Chen Shijie was speechless. Why are you so observant today?
Zhao Xing was confused: "So what is it called?"

Long Xiao held up the mountain cat and said, "I gave it my last name and a domineering name."

"Its name is Long Aotian now!"

Zhao Xing: “(⊙_⊙)”

Chen Shijie: "(；￣д￣)"

Bobcat: “(＾ω＾)”

Seeing the expressions of the two men, Long Xiao immediately stared at Zhao Xing with ill intentions: "Why, do you have any objections?"

Zhao Xing: "No, no, how could that be possible? It's really quite domineering."

The mountain cat is raised so well, so let Long Aotian be Long Aotian.

He even gave the mountain cat his own surname, which shows that Long Xiao really loves this little guy.

If I show any hidden intentions, Long Xiao might go crazy.

Besides, the mountain cat seemed quite happy to hear this name.

"Next you will complete the military tasks assigned by the Ministry of War. Do you understand?" Chen Shijie asked.

"Aotian, be good and go out and play by yourself for a while." Seeing that they wanted to talk about serious business, Long Xiao let the mountain cat outside.

"Military duties in the military world are chained missions," Zhao Xing said. "I'll be assigned a certain official position based on how many chains I complete."

"I have some understanding. Based on my previous performance during training, if I complete the three-ring mission and the evaluation of each mission is not lower than C, I can be awarded the position of the eighth-rank military minister of agriculture." Zhao Xing said.

Yes, now as long as Zhao Xing passes three tasks, even if all three are C-grade, he can directly become an official of the eighth rank.

If you are an ordinary reserve agriculture official, unless you are a genius from one of the four major academies, you have to start from the ninth rank, regardless of whether you are an eighth rank or not.

Because the specifications of the nine garrisons are so high. It's just like the ninth rank of Beijing officials is higher than the ninth rank of local officials. If it is a genius at the level of the four major academies, and his previous performance is very good, the grades are from the eighth rank, from the eighth rank, the eighth rank, and the eighth rank.

As long as one can pass the three-ring mission, the geniuses from the four academies, at the very least, will be at the lower eighth rank.

"If you want to become a seventh-rank officer, you must complete six tasks from the Ministry of War, and the rating for each task must not be lower than B."

"If you want to become a seventh-rank official, you must complete nine tasks of the military department, and the rating of each task must not be lower than Class A."

Most people don't have so many rings of tasks to take. Only the genius Si Nong can take the six-ring task. Only the original Class A geniuses, a handful of seventy-five people, are qualified to take the nine-ring task.

Out of 75 reserve recruits, only are finally qualified to take on the nine-ring mission in the military world.

These people have been selected from the best of the best, but there are still only a few who are qualified to take on the task.

Want to be a seventh-rank official after training? It's not that easy!

"You are already familiar with the process, so I won't say more." Chen Shijie said, "The location is all in Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. We cannot interfere with the content of the mission, no matter which prince or noble we are."

"But in other aspects, we can help you with one or two things."

"For example?" Zhao Xing asked.

"People." Chen Shijie said, "You are not the only one sent to Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, nor are Si Nong the only one. We can do something about the place you are assigned."

Chen Shijie pointed and drew a map on the ground: "If this is Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion."

Then he squeezed his palm and a handful of gravel appeared in his palm: "These gravels are the talents who will go to Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. There are warriors, agricultural officials, mechanical engineers, and emcees."

"Sieve~" Chen Shijie shook off the sand. "When the military is deploying talents, we can also deploy people you are familiar with to your side."

"Of course, this can only affect a rough range at most. If you are lucky, the person you know may be in a county or even a military town."

"But if you're unlucky, it might be just one county away."

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "As for luck, I have always been very good."

Chen Shijie threw away the sand, clapped his hands and said, "You can tell me about the candidates."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and said, "Military doctor Yuan Yang, mechanical engineer Wang Ji, emcee Zhang Yi, warrior Xia Jing, and etiquette repairer are not required. These are enough. Si Nong doesn't matter. I can do it myself."

Long Xiao sneered, "Almost? You are really daring. Why don't you just say that you will give all the best people to you."

"It's not impossible."

"..."

Chen Shijie pondered and said, "Xia Jing has to rely on luck. He is a genius of the Xuanjia Army. We can't influence his position, not even on a large scale."

"As for the others, Wang Ji is from our Shenwei Army, and Yuan Yang, the military doctor, can't say for sure, but Zhang Yi is fine."

Why was Zhang Yi not a problem? Because Zhang Yi was not a particularly outstanding talent. It was just that Zhao Xing felt that since they had worked together before and were familiar with each other, there was no need to change people.

As for other professions? Zhao Xing didn't care. Li Xiu was called a counselor in the army, and he didn't need one at all. Now he was a small family, so why did he need a counselor to cooperate with him?

Musicians, dancers, and the Weaver Girl were all casualties. Zhao Xing didn't have many acquaintances.

The first help Lao Chen gave was to raise a mountain cat, a perfect cleanup.

The second help is manpower.

"Your life will be in danger if you go this time. We cannot interfere with other matters, but Long Xiao will go with you. If your life is in danger, he will help you. He is your protector."

"In addition, if you encounter an emergency or accident that exceeds the upper limit of your mission difficulty, Long Xiao will also ask for help, and the entire Shenwei Army will be dispatched. There is no upper limit to this level of dispatch."

"We will send out stronger ones based on the enemy's level. If the Marquis can't defeat them, he can ask for stronger ones to help."

Chen Shijie said, "But you have to do it within your ability. Don't just rush for the A-level rating. If you don't encounter any accidents and the mission difficulty limit is not exceeded, asking for help will lower your rating."

"I understand." Zhao Xing nodded. The military needs to train these geniuses, but they also don't want them to die in vain. After all, the cost of training is there.

Therefore, people like Zhao Xing who performed very well during training have hidden privileges, which is that their life safety can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

In the military world, have there been any A-level geniuses who died accidentally? Yes, but as long as you don't commit suicide, you will be safer than others.

The third kind of help is treasure.

"Five Elements Scepter, fourth-grade top grade."

"Mingyue Zhenjia, fourth-grade top grade."

"Mo Shou Jade Pendant, fifth-level lower grade."

"The almanac, straw raincoat, cloud-stepping boots, and bamboo hat have all been upgraded to the fourth-grade best quality. There are also some miscellaneous items. You can slowly familiarize yourself with them on the way. They are all in this box."

Long Xiao patted the box with his hands.

Chen Shijie said, "I have also arranged a swordfish flying boat for you. It is parked at the entrance of Diliyuan. See if you need anything else. The Marquis has authorized me to make the decision on anything that is available in the Shenwei Army's arsenal as long as it complies with the rules of the military world."

"It's almost done." Zhao Xing flipped through the treasure list and took out the ground mirror: "Give me another batch of seeds, this is what I need to make a living."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Chen Shijie said, "It will take at most two days to get it done. Is that enough?"

"It's enough." Zhao Xing smiled, "I just need to say goodbye to Tian Hou."

"Then let's act separately." Chen Shijie did not hesitate and took Long Xiao to start making arrangements for Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing came to Fuchun Garden.

He said he was saying goodbye, but actually he just wanted to get some stuff.

"Teacher, I am grateful for your cultivation over the past year. Now that I am about to set off, I hope you take care of your health." Zhao Xing was sincere and his eyes were filled with tears.

Tian Yan was so angry that he laughed: "You are not saying goodbye, you are sending me away. Come on, I have prepared everything for you."

"Thank you, teacher!" Zhao Xing immediately got up from the ground with a smile, and saw Tian Yan handing him a two-foot-long box.

"Inside this box, there are three blank letters with my secret seal and three kinds of tokens," Tian Yan said.

"Letter?" Zhao Xing was a little puzzled. Just this?

"Boy, don't underestimate these three letters." Tian Yan smiled and said, "These are the connections that my Tian family has accumulated over thousands of years. If you encounter difficulties, you can use them and solve most problems."

"But you have to remember, don't use it unless it's extremely difficult. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Xing seemed to have thought of something, and took the box solemnly: "Yes, I understand, thank you for the reward, teacher."

When Tian Yan saw Zhao Xing's expression, he knew that he understood, so he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and do your best."

Zhao Xing bowed again and then left with the box in his arms.

Looking at Zhao Xing's departing back, Tian Yan's eyes were filled with expectation and solemnity: "Boy, promotion in the army is far from as easy as you think. The Pingman War is imminent, and various factional disputes will also surface. The Marquis of Boping has been demoted and revived, and military affairs are not as simple as fighting. I hope you really understand, and I hope you will never open this box..."

　Today is the third update. A new volume will be released to sort out the subsequent plot.

　　Zhao Xing officially began his journey to promotion in official rank.

　　Next volume, 'Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Fu'! Good night everyone!
