Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 35: Ember Medal!

Inside the conference room.

Lin Ye didn't say much. He picked up the pen on the table and signed his name at the bottom of the last page under Party B.

Three copies, quickly signed.

Xu Qi handed over the red inkpad. Lin Ye pressed his thumb into it, and then pressed his fingerprint on each of the three agreements.

Afterward, he handed them to her.

"Then… Mr. Lin, welcome to the Great Xia military."

Xu Qi took the contract and extended a hand with a smile, saying, "From now on, you are a high-ranking war general of the Great Xia military, and also Colonel Lin Ye of our Shancheng military."

"I believe that in the near future, Great Xia will have another peak powerhouse, clearing the beast tide, paving the way for the future of Great Xia, and illuminating the path forward!"

Lin Ye smiled, then extended his hand and shook hers.

"Although I don't have such lofty pursuits, and just don't want to lose those closest to me again, but… to repay you for saving my sister's life, I will do my best!"

When Xu Qi looked at him, she found his eyes firm and radiant, as if he would keep his promise at all costs.

"Welcome, Colonel Lin!" Xue Zhan also stood up, his serious, square face full of smiles, and extended a hand towards Lin Ye.

Lin Ye reached out and shook hands with this veteran high-ranking war general. After letting go, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Curator Xue, when can I get the benefits from this contract?"

"About fulfilling the benefits… you have to ask Secretary Xu about that."

Xue Zhan looked at Xu Qi and said jokingly, "She is responsible for distributing these benefits."

The latter frowned slightly: "…Huh?"

"I'm talking about the combat uniform, the battle knife… and the complete 'Nine Brilliance Sutra' for high-ranking war generals mentioned in the agreement," Lin Ye said slowly, with a light of desire in his eyes.

Xu Qi nodded.

She had already anticipated this result when she gave Lin Ye the first part of the 'Nine Brilliance Sutra' last time.

Ultimately, no martial artist can refuse a better guiding technique.

"I've already notified them."

"In a moment, the items will be delivered. Our human base happens to have a set of equipment for high-ranking war generals prepared, and naturally, we also have the 'Nine Brilliance Sutra'."

Xu Qi stared at Lin Ye, revealing a meaningful smile.

Lin Ye nodded slightly, returning the smile.

He knew very well that martial artists who haven't joined the army can only get parts of the 'Nine Brilliance Sutra' through luck.

As for the complete gene power cultivation method, it is of course prepared for the military's own people and cannot be easily leaked.

Just like that, Lin Ye and Xu Qi chatted casually.

As a newcomer to the military, he needed to learn a lot and humbly ask these two seniors for advice.

Just as the three of them were chatting and getting into the groove, a soft knock sounded at the door.

In less than five minutes, two officers with high ranks walked into the conference room carrying an aluminum alloy box that was seventy centimeters in length, width, and height.

Behind them, a third officer followed closely, holding a narrow knife case in both hands.

"This is the combat uniform prepared for you, which can resist and weaken attacks from high-level beast generals, and the battle knife can break through the defenses of high-level beast generals, as for higher level…"

Speaking of this, Xu Qi paused, her beautiful eyes dimming slightly.

Beside her, Xue Zhan sighed softly, took over the conversation and continued, "Because the military can obtain relatively few materials from lord-level monsters, there isn't much Cro alloy synthesized either,"

"Therefore, the number of God of War-level weapons and combat uniforms… is barely enough for the current Gods of War to use. There are no extra reserves at all."

"I wanted to prepare something better for you, but unfortunately, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!"

After speaking, Xue Zhan looked at Lin Ye, his eyes filled with deep helplessness and loneliness.

"It's okay," Lin Ye shook his head gently, smiling and saying, "It's enough for me to use the combat uniform of a high-ranking war general for now.

Moreover, I'm not stupid enough to fight lord-level monsters to the death right now, so I don't need a higher-level combat uniform for the time being."

"Haha… that's for the best. What you need now is to grow well. In the future, you will definitely be a leader among the Gods of War of Great Xia. At that time, why worry about not having lord-level monsters to kill!"

Xue Zhan's rough, calloused palm patted Lin Ye on the shoulder, his face full of appreciation.

Xu Qi also looked at Lin Ye with a smile on her face.

However.

Lin Ye restrained the smile in his eyes, his mood a little sour.

He, who often mingled in the wilderness and often dealt with frontline troops.

He was also very clear about the current situation of the Great Xia military.

Since the large-scale battle between humans and monsters began four years ago.

The Great Xia Kingdom has been in constant smoke of war.

Beast tides, large and small, have continued one after another, and the consumption of combat uniforms and various resources on the front lines has been enormous.

Even Great Xia, a resource-rich of the five major powers, seemed a little stretched in terms of combat uniforms and weapons.

"Even a clever woman can't make bricks without straw."

Lin Ye sighed silently in his heart, and then opened the alloy box containing the combat uniform—

The first thing that caught his eye was placed in the center of the box.

A palm-sized, silver-white small box.

Picking up this exquisitely crafted small combination lock box, Lin Ye saw that it required a three-digit password to open and asked in confusion, "This is my martial artist badge?"

"Yes, but not entirely!"

Xu Qi smiled slightly, looked at the silver box and said, "This not only contains your martial artist badge, but also the exclusive medal of honor after you join the Great Xia military!"

"Medal of honor?" Lin Ye asked in confusion, "What is that?"

"The medal of honor represents merit, that is, the contribution you have made to Great Xia."

Xue Zhan said calmly: "Spark, Ember, Kindling, Prairie Fire… correspond to Warrior, War General, God of War, and existences beyond the God of War respectively,

This is the unique medal of honor of our Great Xia military, and the numbers behind it are your serial number after joining the military."

"This is my 'Ember' medal—NO.45."

As he spoke, Xue Zhan pulled open his combat uniform in front of his chest, revealing a dark red circular medal inside.

After taking it off, he seriously introduced it to Lin Ye—

"The medal of honor not only represents merit, but also the supreme honor of being a Great Xia warrior. It is our life!"

"More importantly, on the inside of the medal of honor, a small needle is placed,

As long as the switch is pressed, it can pop out, and the end of the needle is coated with a drug called 'Divine Guide'!"

"Once this drug is injected into the body, it will burn all of a person's potential in a short period of time, allowing their strength to skyrocket to a terrifying level."

"Using the origin of life as kindling, forcibly burning all the potential of a martial artist… This is a method of mutual destruction, and also a means of turning the tables in desperate situations…"

Xue Zhan added in a low voice, and a series of tragic scenes flashed through his mind—

Since the emergence of the medal of honor and the Divine Guide, too many martial artists have used them, so many that he can't even count them.

Almost every beast tide, there are warriors who inject the medal into their chests without hesitation to inject the drug, exchanging their potential and all remaining life for the fleeting increase in strength.

They use their flesh and blood to block the monsters and protect their homes.

"…"

Beside him, Lin Ye listened silently to Xue Zhan's words, his eyes gradually becoming deep…
