Special Resource Distribution
Time passed day by day.
Ian's transfer documents have officially taken effect, and he officially left the Arcane Recruit Camp the day before yesterday.
Now, the special resources of the entire recruit camp have completely fallen into Lister's hands.
Meanwhile, since Wang Yue last relayed Ian's message, no new messages have been sent.
Lister understood this implicitly, since they had come from the same planet together.
If there's no contact in a short period, it means the other person is hiding their true intentions well; it's best to minimize unnecessary trouble for now.
Once he graduates from recruit training and begins his actual missions in the Federation Military District, Wang Yue's current status as a Level 4 Civilization will be of great help to him.
Billing training room.
A black figure was relentlessly attacking the man in the center.
Various powerful Magnetic Pulse Cannons were continuously unleashed, resulting in fierce firepower.
No matter what methods he used, he still couldn't harm the man in the slightest; the man didn't even move a step.
All the ranged attacks that reached the man were annihilated with a mere flick of his blade.
Seeing that Reck was panting from exerting too much force, Lister's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Without even taking a break, Reck released an invisible magnetic field around him to sense where Lister might appear.
The next instant, his right elbow lashed backward in a powerful elbow strike.
Unfortunately, he was a beat too slow to notice; Lister had already appeared behind him.
Not only was his elbow strike blocked, but his opponent also delivered a simple chop to the top of his slender head.
A chilling sensation, as if capable of cutting through everything, exploded from his scalp and instantly spread throughout his body.
The chilling sharpness only disappeared when the hand was withdrawn.
"Whew!"
The battle was over, Reck finally began to breathe heavily.
Lister had already walked up to him and gave him a brief summary.
"Once you're caught in close combat, don't try to kill your opponent with your fighting skills. Instead, focus on blocking and restraining them first, and then find a way to escape."
"Continue to use your superior long-range attacks to strike."
"I see."
Reck nodded earnestly, his eyes filled with admiration and respect for Lister.
In just two months, under the other party's guidance, he felt that his skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
"Reconnaissance of enemy and friendly forces is underway... Reconnaissance results have been obtained..."
[Target: Reck (Federation Military District Reserve, Wanda Civilization)]
[Level: Lv97]
[Health Points: 60313/60313]
[Strength:18981/18981]
[Attributes: Strength 81, Stamina 83, Intelligence 94, Agility 91]
[Skill: Magnetic Pulse Cannon (Rank A) LV96:...,
Magnetic Pulse Domain (Level A): LV94:...
Federation Fighting Technique (Rank A): LV80,...]
[Overall Rating: C → B]
Lister looked at Reck's panel with a gratified expression.
We finally managed to raise the opponent's overall combat strength to B level.
This can be considered his reward for Reck's participation in the operation to kill Lim.
He couldn't share his level 2 resources with Reck.
Furthermore, the Federation Military District itself prohibits the trading of any resources obtained through military merit; everything is for the personal use only.
This is not to set up barriers, but to prevent the trading of military merits within the military region.
Fortunately, Reck's original strength was only average, and there were many areas that needed improvement, far beyond just his basic attributes.
With his two existing A-level skills as a foundation, Lister ultimately guided him in training in Federation Fighting Technique.
In comparison, Reck's Class Holder talent is quite good.
With his one-on-one guidance, his combat skills improved rapidly, and as his level increased, his overall rating reached B rank as he had expected.
The next day, the training hall at the recruit camp opened as scheduled.
After spending half a year in recruit camp, everyone now understands.
The most expensive building in the entire recruit camp was this simulation training hall.
The arena, capable of simulating battles for tens of thousands of people, is so valuable that it could buy the entire planet it's located on.
Lister stepped inside, feeling the familiar blue light filling the entire space before him, and his heart couldn't help but surge with emotion.
Today is the sixth monthly exam in the recruit camp, and also the day that special resources are distributed. Everything is just waiting for the exam to end.
"To make it clear, the rankings in this monthly exam will determine one special resource allocation quota issued by the Federation Military District."
Major Qi announced the allocation of special resources to the crowd.
After Lim and Ian left, he no longer needed to worry about the distribution of these resources.
No one in the entire recruit camp could possibly be a match for Lister, so the final selections were decided based on the previously agreed-upon monthly mock battle assessment.
"Recruit #189, Reck, challenges Recruit #100, Jia'er."
Even in the simulated universe, Lister still stood at the very front of all the new recruits to watch the game.
Given the absolute difference in strength, no one dared to approach him, and they all consciously made way for him.
The privileges that were once reserved for Galactic Nobles were suddenly bestowed upon him.
The only difference is that people feel more fear and avoidance towards the Galactic Nobles, but more respect for him.
Of course, today people are more envious than anything else.
Within the simulated battle space before them, Reck completely followed his advice.
Focus on using ranged attacks to continuously whittle down the opponent's health, which is that of a supernatural being.
Even if the opponent gets close, a level 80 or higher Federation Fighting Technique, in recruit combat where the overall rating is B, is more than enough for close-range blocking and defense, even if it cannot be used as a means of killing.
As expected, even in close combat, Reck held his own and even had room to retaliate.
However, they ultimately did not make a move, but instead seized the opportunity to retreat immediately, creating distance again for a long-range strike.
After two consecutive losses, this new recruit with the ability ranked 100th finally lost the match, somewhat frustratingly.
Reck also achieved his goal of entering the top 100. As long as he can maintain his position in the subsequent challenges, he can earn more military merits.
"Recruit No. 61 has given up the challenge."
"Recruit No. 55 has given up..."
Compared to the fierce competition for positions around the top 100, the competition actually decreases as you move up to the top few dozen.
Dozens of new recruits gave up the challenge.
Ultimately, only the top ten challenged the second and third-ranked recruits.
After the third monthly exam, Lister had become completely unchallenged, and no one dared to challenge him.
Even though this involved the distribution of that special resource, no new recruit dared to overestimate their abilities and try to fight him.
"I hereby announce: This monthly exam is over. The recipient of the special resources for the Arcane Recruit Camp is Lister Merrick."
Major Qi reappeared in front, announcing the results of the monthly exam in a resounding voice.
A system notification tone also sounded at the same time.
Congratulations on earning 180 military merit points.
As the simulation training hall reopened, everyone filed out, but only Lister was left behind.
Inside the vast simulation training hall, Major Qi was leading a team of people toward him.
Several of the officers were unfamiliar faces, not the ones he knew from the recruit camp.
Moreover, the lowest rank among this group of people was major, and the man walking alongside Major Qi, judging from his collar insignia and shoulder insignia, was a colonel!
"Reconnaissance of enemy and friendly forces is underway... Reconnaissance results have been obtained..."
[Target: Unknown (Colonel, Central Army Group, Level 3 Civilization)]
[Level: Lv???]
[???]
Sure enough, he couldn't even find out about Major Qi's information, let alone the information about the colonel in front of him.
"Is this the Overlord Tier recruit from your battalion?"
The colonel stopped in front of Lister, scrutinizing Lister closely with curiosity in his eyes.
At the same time, a suffocating aura swept over him, only to vanish in an instant.
Before Major Qi could even begin to introduce him, the colonel couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Truly exceptional talent!"
"It's a pity you're from the martial arts department, otherwise I would really like to invite you to our army group."
Seeing this, Major Qi began to introduce Lister.
"Lister, this is Colonel Lafei, from the Tenth Central Army Group."
"He is the commissioned officer assigned to this special resource allocation by the Federation Military District."
