At first, Yun Ye had thoughts when he learned this information.

Since he had transmigrated, shouldn't he make a name for himself?

However, after Yun Ye learned that the skills on the system panel required physical fitness to support them, he gave up the idea of immediately going out to sea to become a pirate in order to become stronger faster.

The Navy is the way to go!

Now, Yun Ye felt the time was ripe. If he signed up for recruitment at this time, no one should look at him with suspicion anymore.

The Quincies had already begun their actions.

They appeared on another island.

And intentionally or unintentionally showed themselves to the Navy.

The Navy branch base on this island, the P-3 branch base, was one of the forces that had previously supported Donzuke Island.

They should also be aware of Yun Ye's Quincy alias.

With the connections between Navy branches, this news would likely reach the P-5 branch base before long.

Although this approach was a bit too cautious, Yun Ye felt that caution could not be wrong, and he had to ensure everything was foolproof.

One day later.

The village in the security zone.

Yun Ye told the villagers his intention to join the Navy and bid them farewell.

Yun Ye had good relationships with the villagers, was helpful, and often shared the game he hunted in the mountains with everyone.

So, when they heard that Yun Ye was leaving the village, many were reluctant to see him go.

Although Xiaoya was very reluctant, she wouldn't oppose Yun Ye's decision. She just watched him with red eyes.

Yun Ye smiled and patted her head.

The old village chief frowned and said, "Yun, have you really made up your mind? Becoming a Navy officer is very dangerous!"

It wasn't that there weren't strong young people in the village who joined the Navy, but the mortality rate was extremely high.

The older generation didn't want the young men to take on such dangerous professions. Wouldn't it be better to stay honestly in the village?

Moreover, Yun Ye was too young, only just eighteen.

Yun Ye said, "I've thought it through these past few days. When the Germa invaded the island before, although I participated in the battle, I could barely protect myself and couldn't play much of a role. That experience made me feel very uncomfortable."

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, I've also seen the strength of the Navy in this battle. They are very powerful. To better protect everyone and the village, I need to become stronger. That's why I want to join the Navy."

The news circulating on the island was that the Navy had saved Donzuke Island, so Yun Ye went along with it and confirmed the news.

He also completely distanced himself from that battle, merely offering the excuse that he was on the periphery, barely managing to protect himself.

These villagers were unsophisticated. Although they had personally witnessed Yun Ye using Flash Step to ascend into the sky, they didn't clearly understand what it meant.

So, they believed Yun Ye's words.

Uncle Ahan shook his head and said, "Yun, you don't have to do this. The safety of the island is in the hands of the Navy. You can live peacefully in the village without worrying about these things."

Uncle Ahan had been out to sea before and had a bit more insight, but only a little.

He had vaguely heard somewhere that there was a type of fruit that, when eaten, could grant magical powers. Perhaps Yun Ye was someone who had eaten such a fruit.

That's why he had the ability to fly.

He didn't delve too deeply into this.

Yun Ye smiled and said, "Uncle Ahan, I've made up my mind. The world is so big, and I want to go out and see it. Moreover, by joining the Navy, with this connection, the Navy on the island can take better care of the village and let everyone live better!"

The old village chief tapped his pipe, took a puff, and exhaled a cloud of white smoke before saying, "Ahan, since Yun has this intention, we shouldn't stop him. Besides, it's only on the island. Even with strict Navy discipline, they will have rest time, and he can come back from time to time!"

Yun Ye smiled and nodded, "I will come back to see everyone often."

Hearing this, although many were still reluctant, they didn't say anything further.

"Brother Yun Ye, you must come back often!" Xiaoya said to Yun Ye, reluctant to see him go.

"Yes, I promised Xiaoya that I would treat her arm, and I will definitely come back," Yun Ye said seriously to Xiaoya, making a promise.

He couldn't help but inwardly complain, 'Isn't this setting a flag?'

Like in the TV shows and movies from his past life, saying "I'll marry you when I get back..." and then there was no more...

"Mhm!" Xiaoya nodded heavily, very happy.

Leaving the village, Yun Ye arrived at the P-5 Navy branch base in the security zone. At this time, they were recruiting from all over the island.

In the previous battle, the Navy on the island had suffered heavy losses and needed to replenish its forces.

Also, because of the previous battle, the Navy had achieved a great victory, elevating its prestige on the island to its peak. People who wanted to join the Navy were flocking in.

However, it wasn't easy to join the Navy.

It was a stable job with a monthly allowance. Apart from the higher level of danger, it was a good profession.

However, the extremely high mortality rate also deterred many people.

The current scene was a special circumstance; under normal conditions, so many people would never have come to participate in the conscription ceremony.

Yun Ye blended into the crowd, not appearing out of place.

He moved forward with the flow of people.

"Hey, brother, are you here for the Navy conscription too?"

As they walked, someone suddenly spoke to Yun Ye.

Yun Ye looked over and saw a burly young man. He wore a simple black vest, with small, uncleaned wood shavings still clinging to him. His muscles were well-defined, and his hands were calloused. Combined with his somewhat fierce and menacing face, he looked like a gangster…

At this moment, the young man grinned, his expression extremely ferocious. Most ordinary people would probably be quite scared if they saw him.

'He's probably a carpenter…'

Yun Ye was naturally not intimidated. The moment he saw the young man, Yun Ye had a general idea of his profession. He nodded and said, "Yeah, after hearing about what happened before, what young person on the island doesn't want to join the Navy now?"

The young man couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "That's true. I also got the idea to join the Navy after hearing about the Navy's deeds on the island. It's truly exhilarating!"

"It's just that the conditions for joining the Navy are quite harsh. I wonder if I'll be selected."

The young man said this with a ferocious smile.

Those around them immediately cleared a large space.

Many people were quite frightened…

Whether this young man was missing a few screws or something, he seemed completely unaware that he was the one scaring everyone away…

He even looked at Yun Ye with some confusion, asking, "Why did they move back?"

"I don't know. It's my turn. Bye."

Yun Ye waved goodbye to him and walked further inside.
