Navy Recruitment

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

Since he had transmigrated here, he had to make a name for himself somehow, right?

But after Yun Ye learned that the System Panel's skills needed physical strength to support them, he abandoned the idea of immediately setting out to sea and becoming a pirate in order to grow stronger faster.

The Navy was the right path!

Now, Yun Ye felt that the time was ripe. If he signed up for recruitment now, no one should cast suspicious glances his way again.

The Quincy had already begun to act.

They had appeared on another island.

And deliberately or inadvertently shown themselves before the Navy.

The P-3 Navy Branch Base on that island had been among the Navy forces that previously supported Donzuke Island.

They should also know about Yun Ye's Quincy identity.

With the connections between Navy Branch Bases, this news might be passed back to the P-5 Navy Branch Base before long.

Although this was a bit overly cautious, Yun Ye believed that there was nothing wrong with being careful. He had to make absolutely sure.

A day later.

A village in the security district.

Yun Ye told the villagers that he wanted to join the Navy and bid them farewell.

Yun Ye was quite popular in the village. He 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 people were extremely reluctant to see him go.

Although Xiaoya was deeply reluctant, she would not oppose Yun Ye's decision. She merely looked at him with reddened eyes.

Yun Ye smiled and patted her head.

The Old Village Chief frowned and said, "Boy Yun, have you really made up your mind? Being a Navy soldier is very dangerous!"

It was not as though no strong young men from the village had joined the Navy, but the death rate was extremely high.

The older generation did not want young men taking such dangerous jobs. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the village and live honestly?

Besides, Yun Ye was far too young. He had only just turned eighteen.

Yun Ye said, "I've thought it through these past few days. When Germa invaded the island before, I also took part in the battle, but I could barely protect myself and couldn't make much of a difference at all. That feeling was terrible."

After a pause, Yun Ye continued, "Besides, I've seen how powerful the Navy was in that battle. They were very strong. To better protect everyone and protect the village, I need to become stronger. That's why I want to join the Navy."

The news spreading across the island was that the Navy had saved Donzuke Island, so Yun Ye simply went along with it and confirmed the story.

He also completely removed himself from that battle, casually claiming that he had only watched from the outskirts and barely managed to protect himself.

These villagers had little knowledge. Although they had personally seen Yun Ye use Flash Step to leap into the sky, they did not understand what it meant.

So they believed Yun Ye.

Uncle Ahan shook his head and said, "Boy Yun, you don't need to do this. The Navy is responsible for the island's safety. You can stay in the village and live in peace. You don't need to worry about these things."

Uncle Ahan had gone to sea before, so he had seen a little more of the world, though only a little.

He vaguely remembered hearing somewhere about a kind of fruit that could grant people miraculous powers after they ate it. Perhaps Yun Ye was someone who had eaten such a fruit.

That was why he could fly.

He did not look too deeply into it.

Yun Ye smiled. "Uncle Ahan, I've already made up my mind. The world is so big, and I want to see it. Besides, if I join the Navy, the Navy on the island can take better care of the village through that connection, so everyone can live better lives!"

The Old Village Chief tapped his tobacco pipe, took a puff, and exhaled a cloud of white smoke before saying, "Ahan, since Boy Yun has such aspirations, we shouldn't stop him. Besides, he'll only be on the island. Even if Navy discipline is strict, he'll still have time off. He can come back from time to time!"

Yun Ye smiled and nodded. "I'll come back to visit everyone often."

After hearing that, although many people were still reluctant, they said nothing more.

"Big Brother Yun Ye, you have to come back often!" Xiaoya said reluctantly as she looked at Yun Ye.

"Mm. I promised Xiaoya that I would treat her arm. I will definitely come back." Yun Ye looked at Xiaoya seriously and promised her.

Yet inwardly, he grumbled, Does this count as raising a death flag?

Just like in the movies and dramas from his previous life, when someone said, "When I come back, we'll get married..." and then there was no afterward...

"Mm!" Xiaoya nodded firmly, extremely happy.

After leaving the village, Yun Ye arrived at the P-5 Navy Branch Base in the security district. It was currently recruiting across the entire island.

The Navy on the island had suffered severe losses in the previous battle and needed to replenish its ranks.

And because the Navy had won a resounding victory in that battle, its reputation on the island had reached its peak. People who wanted to join the Navy came in an endless stream.

However, joining the Navy was not so easy.

It was a secure job with a monthly allowance. Aside from the higher level of danger, it was considered a fairly good profession.

But precisely because the death rate was so high, many people were deterred.

The current scene was a special case. Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for so many people to attend a recruitment ceremony.

Yun Ye blended into the crowd without standing out.

He moved forward with the flow of people.

"Hey, brother, are you here to take part in Navy recruitment 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 tank top, and fine wood shavings that had not been fully cleaned off clung to his body. His muscles were thick and knotted, his hands were covered in calluses, and paired with his somewhat fierce face, he looked like a gang member...

At that moment, the young man grinned, his expression exceptionally vicious. An ordinary person would probably have been badly frightened by the sight.

He's probably a carpenter...

Naturally, Yun Ye was not frightened. The instant he saw the young man, he had roughly guessed his profession. He nodded and said, "Yeah. After learning about what happened before, what young man on this island doesn't want to join the Navy now?"

The young man could not help laughing upon hearing that. "That's true. I only got the idea of joining the Navy after hearing about the Navy's deeds on the island. It's really exciting!"

"It's just that the requirements for joining the Navy are pretty strict. I wonder if I'll be selected."

As he spoke, the young man flashed another vicious grin.

The people around them immediately cleared out a large empty space.

Quite a few people were badly frightened...

It was unclear whether the young man was simply dense or something, but he seemed not to realize at all that he had scared everyone around him away...

He even looked at Yun Ye in confusion and asked, "Why did they move back?"

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

Yun Ye waved at him and walked inside.
