101 Training Ground

Inside the flying vehicle, it was like the starry sky.

Everywhere he looked, there were flickering points of light.

An ordinary person would be dazzled at first glance.

Even Lin Xiaosu's Peerless Divine Eyes could only see the flickering points of light, but he didn't know why they were flickering.

There was no one inside; it was self-driving.

Chang Ye comfortably sat down on a reclining chair and casually said, "101!"

Then, with a flash of light and a feeling of lightness, Lin Xiaosu was also taken away by the flying vehicle.

He couldn't see outside, not at all, but he could feel the speed. The speed had instantly reached an incredible level.

"What does 101 mean?" Lin Xiaosu also sat down beside her.

"It's a very interesting symbol," Chang Ye said with a faint smile.

"A symbol? Isn't it a number?"

"It's a number, but to understand its meaning, it might be more accurate to understand it from its shape... '0' represents Earth, and the two '1's beside it represent pillars."

Lin Xiaosu tilted his head back slightly: "Earth's two pillars... You still say I'm narcissistic. I think you guys are the ones who are narcissistic... Can't you see outside from inside this flying vehicle?"

"You can, but you don't have the authorization yet."

"When will I have it?"

"In principle, you need to obtain the Qianlong Gold Medal, and at a minimum, you need to pass the training assessment. Any other questions?" Chang Ye asked.

"Just one last question..." Lin Xiaosu touched the exquisite interior decoration of the flying vehicle: "With our salary, how many years would it take to afford a flying vehicle like this?"

Chang Ye gently shook her head: "You're still fixated on the income aspect."

"Of course, shouldn't that be the most important thing when applying for a job?"

"Can't your perspective be a little broader?"

"Yes! I'll ask a wild one directly... If I work hard in the future, can I buy a car and a house within a year? The car would be a car like this, and the house would be in the provincial capital..."

Chang Ye's head hit the back of the reclining chair, and she muttered, "Comrade Lin, don't talk like that in the base. Any words you say that are tied to worldly wealth will increase the difficulty of your assessment. For Qianlong members, it's a serious taboo to be solely focused on making money..."

"It seems there's a big difference in our perspectives," Lin Xiaosu said. "I know you're wholeheartedly serving the country, but serving the country doesn't contradict personal pursuits, right? A friend I used to have once said something that sounded very silly, but upon reflection, it made a lot of sense. She said that if a person completely loses their personal pursuits, how can you expect them to seek welfare for the people? This leads to the timeless saying: 'If you don't sweep your own room, how can you sweep the world?' If you don't take responsibility for your own wife and children, how can you be responsible for everyone in the world?"

Chang Ye glanced at him: "Your friend, that's Li Diandian, right?"

"No, how could it be? She's very simple-minded... Only I'm not so simple!"

"Hmm..." Chang Ye nodded slightly. "Although you still have the smell of money on you and hedonism is deeply ingrained, at least you have a good character. You're loyal and don't cause trouble for your comrades, which is pretty good. This is our first meeting today. If this were an assessment, you're not too far from the passing line..."

It was Lin Xiaosu's turn to bump his head against the chair.

This trip also involved an assessment.

Every word and action was being assessed. Damn it, I'm just an ordinary college student! I have a lot of human desires. If you judge me by the rules of an assessment machine, I might as well pack up and go home...

About three hours later.

The flying vehicle landed.

As the door of the flying vehicle opened, Lin Xiaosu was stunned.

In front of him was an island. The island was huge, with mountains, water, and jungles. There were various modern buildings, like a resort area built with immense wealth. Behind him, as far as he could see, was all seawater.

Within his line of sight, there was no other land.

Where the sea and sky met, he had no idea where he was.

"Guess, where are you right now?"

Chang Ye's voice came. As the sea breeze blew, her hair did not flutter. This was because she was a Poisonous Person, and every strand of her hair was a deadly weapon. Therefore, under normal circumstances, her hair was absolutely immaculate.

Lin Xiaosu took out his phone.

The phone showed the time, but the location displayed was unknown, and the phone signal showed that it was restricted.

Chang Ye smiled: "You still expect to use your phone to check the address here? What were you thinking?"

"Completely isolated?"

"There is naturally satellite signal on the island, but you don't have the authorization to access it yet. Fortunately, you've already asked your mother for leave, and even more fortunately, according to the information I've gathered, you don't have a girlfriend."

Not having a girlfriend had also become fortunate!

Damn, shouldn't this be sad?

Lin Xiaosu's eyes flickered: "So the question you asked is also an assessment?"

"Assessment... assessment of what?" Chang Ye asked.

Lin Xiaosu said: "You're testing me, whether I can deduce my current location without any technological assistance."

Chang Ye smiled: "You're wrong! The so-called assessment, theoretically, only becomes an assessment question if there are options that can be passed. What you're imagining has no possibility of passing, so this is not an assessment... I simply want you to know your current situation!"

Lin Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat.

He seemed to have grasped the depth of Qianlong, which was extremely profound and unfathomable, but ultimately had its boundaries.

For example, Chang Ye, as an important figure in Qianlong, also made a mistake.

She said that without any technological assistance, it was impossible to deduce one's location; theoretically, it didn't exist.

This was a mistake.

In fact, theoretically, it did exist.

How to deduce it?

As long as you have the sun and time!

The Earth revolves around the sun, and with the change of seasons, the direction of light changes in a regular pattern.

In winter, the sun shines directly on the Southern Hemisphere, and in summer, it shines directly on the Northern Hemisphere. On Earth, at the same time, each longitude and latitude receives different sunlight.

By implanting this vast database into your mind, corresponding to the changes in sunlight at different times, you can retroactively deduce your location.

This is the theory.

Of course, is it easy for theory to become reality?

Supercomputers might be able to calculate it, but the human brain clearly cannot.

However, who can know how powerful "Humanity Orchid Heart" is?

Lin Xiaosu did not continue discussing this unbelievable problem with her. He took a card she gave him into his experimental area.

Qianlong's experimental areas for newcomers were vastly different from ordinary military barracks, being ten thousand times more high-end, grand, and stylish.

The rooms were like hotel suites.

And five-star suites at that.

There was a reception room, a bathroom, a toilet, and even a kitchen. What Lin Xiaosu did not expect was that there was also a hostess...

As soon as he entered, he saw a tall, beautiful woman, whose beauty rivaled Hu Ya's, standing before him. She smiled and told him, "Mr. Lin, I am your personal assistant, Xiao Luo."

"Personal assistant? What do you do?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"I'll cook for you, do your laundry, and answer all your questions..."

The treatment was truly good. To have a personal assistant for training, Lin Xiaosu sat down. "Xiao Luo, you said you can cook?"

"Yes, I know all eight major cuisines and seventy-two regional snacks!"

"Can you make Fengcheng's snowflake cakes?"

"Yes!"

"Can you make some for me?"

"No!" Xiao Luo said. "You haven't unlocked the permissions yet."

"Damn it, permissions again? I thought we were comrades in arms from now on, so there's no need to talk about permissions for everything, right? Be flexible, it's not a matter of principle to just have a meal."

"No! Because I'm not human, I'm a simulation robot!" Xiao Luo blinked.

Lin Xiaosu's eyes widened.

His divine eyes could truly perceive the minute details, but after a glance, he really couldn't tell that the person in front of him was a simulation robot. Now that she mentioned it, and he looked closely, he truly discovered that she was indeed a simulation robot. Her hair, skin, eyes, lips, and teeth were all artificial.

Extremely perfect, but being too perfect made it inherently unreal.

"How can I unlock the permissions?"

"Here is the permission correlation table, you can take a look..."

Xiao Luo blinked her eyes gently, and a holographic projection appeared in the room, displaying a clear permission correlation table.

Her functions were incredibly numerous and powerful, but the permission correlations were also very complex.

There were five major types of experimental areas, or five major directions.

One was combat.

One was firearms and equipment.

One was espionage and strategy.

One was medicine.

One was special operations.

It was not required for people to be all-rounders; anyone could choose a direction that suited them.

Every experimental area had its own assessment standards. Upon passing the assessment, you could unlock the assistant's permissions.

Perhaps the true function of an assistant was to be a motivational target next to you, making you think about passing the assessment at all times. Otherwise, if someone else's assistant had high-level permissions unlocked, and your assistant was sulking beside you, could you stand it?

After reading this, Lin Xiaosu was a bit speechless. "Even though I have a little assistant who is proficient in the eight major cuisines by my side, when my stomach is growling with hunger, I still have to get a broken bowl myself and go to the mess hall to get food?"

The assistant, as if performing magic, took out a bowl from behind her and handed it to him.

Lin Xiaosu took her bowl and went to the mess hall.

Along the way, he finally saw fellow travelers.

In fact, there were quite a few fellow travelers.

In the cafeteria ahead, three long lines had formed. They were made up of men and women alike, all with skin tanned to a bronze hue, the kind that suggested they'd shed their skin a few times under the sun.

If nothing unexpected happened, they were soldiers, most likely the elite soldier-kings from within the military.

The Qianlong selection process itself had two main avenues.

The primary channel was selecting soldier-kings from the major military regions and the best police officers from the public security system.

The less common channel was civilian selection.

A pretty boy like him, walking among a queue of battle-hardened soldier-kings, was definitely an outlier.

Another person, also clearly from outside the military, a thin young fellow, kept his head down, appearing somewhat shy.

Yes, when facing these soldier-kings who had emerged from the military sphere, those selected from society naturally lacked a bit of confidence.
