Joining the Military!

"Your clearance is insufficient. Please upgrade your Martial Artist clearance before making this inquiry."

Lin Ye: "..."

Seeing the glaring line of red text, Lin Ye was momentarily speechless.

He had been focused solely on hunting monsters in the wilderness to increase his strength, becoming somewhat disconnected from everyday life and the outside world.

But now that his strength had improved, his corresponding Martial Artist clearance should have risen as well.

At that thought, the image of a young woman in uniform suddenly flashed through Lin Ye's mind.

"Secretary Xu, it's time to talk to you about joining the military..."

Lin Ye murmured, then slowly closed his eyes and began to think.

A long while later.

He opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed through them.

The results of the Martial Artist and Psychic Power tests had reignited his expectations and hopes for the future.

The emotions from his past, not yet fully dispersed, pulsed together with his heart as it awakened from deathly stillness.

If he had guessed correctly—

Lin Ye believed that Secretary Xu and the military behind her would absolutely be unable to refuse him!

Looking at the sunset gradually sinking below the horizon outside the window, orange flames reflected in his obsidian eyes.

Standing beside the floor-to-ceiling window, he took out the business card and called Secretary Xu using the contact information on it, filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile.

Inside the surveillance room on the seventh floor of the training hall.

Xu Qi, dressed in casual white clothes, held a cup of coffee in her left hand as she leisurely watched the big screen.

Hundreds of surveillance cameras had been placed throughout the shelter, covering every area.

As a military secretary, she was occasionally assigned other duties as well.

Today happened to be her shift at the military martial arts hall.

"A vibration?"

"Where did that come from?"

The coffee in Xu Qi's hand trembled slightly, ripples spreading across its surface.

With her sharp hearing, she immediately pinpointed the disturbance to the training hall on the sixth floor.

Setting down her coffee, Xu Qi's ten slender, jade-like fingers flew across the keyboard.

The footage from the punching force testing area enlarged, then enlarged again.

When she clearly saw the scene on the screen, Xu Qi's mouth opened slightly as she stared at the young man in utter shock.

No!

Her gaze locked firmly onto the testing display above Lin Ye's head.

There, a row of huge red numbers showed his punching force test result—

64999kg

"How is that possible!!!"

As if unable to believe her own eyes, she took off her gold-rimmed glasses and widened her beautiful eyes as she stared hard at the screen.

"That's right, it's 64999kg!"

"He's actually this powerful? The last time I saw him, he was only a High-level Warrior..."

Before Xu Qi could recover, her gaze shifted to the punching target in front of Lin Ye.

At that moment, the young man stood with his arms folded, calmly watching the target ahead.

"He's testing punching force without using his hands?"

"Could it be that he's using... Psychic Power?"

Questions sprouted in Xu Qi's mind like bamboo shoots after rain, leaving her looking slightly dazed.

Then, Lin Ye's next two test results appeared in the center of the screen, crystal clear—

[Strength: 65120kg]

[Strength: 65430kg]

Xu Qi: "..."

In an instant, she was shocked beyond words.

After confirming that Lin Ye truly was using Psychic Power, the secretary could not help locking the footage onto him. His tall figure reflected in her beautiful eyes, seeming to radiate an unusual light.

At that moment, the way Xu Qi looked at Lin Ye was exactly like she was looking at a humanoid tyrannosaur.

"He can unleash terrifying strength comparable to a Primary War God. Is he really a seventeen-year-old Martial Artist?"

Clatter! Clatter!

Xu Qi's fingers flew, and she quickly pulled up Lin Ye's previous test data.

"The five strength test results were 21300kg, 21341kg, 21308kg, 21354kg, and 21304kg. The three speed test results were 162m/s, 163m/s, and 165m/s."

"Both his strength and speed are at the Mid-tier War General level. That's still normal."

Seeing those figures, Secretary Xu let out a breath of relief.

However, when she saw Lin Ye's Neural Reaction Speed test, her eyes widened again.

"High-tier War General Level reaction speed... This guy really is a monster..."

Xu Qi set down her coffee, picked up a wet wipe from beside her, and wiped her forehead. Her curiosity about Lin Ye steadily soared...

After tying up her hair, Xu Qi sat upright and stared unblinkingly at the center of the surveillance screen.

In the video, Lin Ye had already walked over to the speed testing area.

Repeating what he had done during the punching force test, Lin Ye once again used Psychic Power to control the boxing gloves and began the speed test.

Three consecutive times, the results were still beyond expectations—

[Speed: 353m/s]

[Speed: 359m/s]

[Speed: 365m/s]

The bright red test data branded themselves deep into Xu Qi's heart like red-hot iron.

Huff... Huff...

Secretary Xu, who had seen plenty of extraordinary things, felt her heart suddenly skip. Even her breathing became much more hurried.

Watching Lin Ye quietly look at the testing screen, she unconsciously clenched her fists. She could not stop herself from trembling slightly, nor could she hide the delight on her face...

A thought suddenly surfaced in her heart.

This is a man with a story!!

Just as Xu Qi wanted to take another look at Lin Ye, this humanoid beast, the ringtone from the phone in her pocket suddenly sounded.

"You say you're a little hard to pursue"

"You want me to retreat in the face of difficulty"

"There's no need to choose the most expensive gift"

"As long as there are fallen leaves on the Champs-Élysées..."

"..."

Taking out her phone, Xu Qi frowned slightly at the unfamiliar number.

Five seconds later.

Xu Qi answered the call. "Hello!?"

"Hello, Secretary Xu! This is Lin Ye."

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you. When would you be free?!"

The cool voice coming through the phone undoubtedly belonged to Lin Ye.

Xu Qi: "..."

Xu Qi raised her head and looked at the young man on the screen who was currently making a phone call. Without any hesitation, she said, "I'm free anytime!"

"May I ask what this is about, Lin Ye? If it's convenient, you can tell me over the phone first."

"I've thought over your suggestion!"

"With a great tree to lean on, there is shade to enjoy. Having a large force behind me would be more beneficial to my growth."

"Therefore, I've decided to join the military!"

"Hm?" Hearing that, Xu Qi felt as though her heartbeat had slowed by half a beat.

"You want to join the military?"

She asked in disbelief.

"Yes, but it would be better to discuss the specifics in person."

"After all, I'm joining with conditions. I'm not joining for nothing."

Lin Ye's voice was steady and powerful, and his long, measured breath sounded pleasant.

"I understand. I'm free anytime!" Xu Qi looked at the smiling Lin Ye on the screen.

Perhaps influenced by his mood, the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upward.

"In that case, let's meet at Huawei Ju at seven tonight."

"Alright!"

Lin Ye hung up, leaving Xu Qi standing there in a daze.

She had never expected to encounter a genius like Lin Ye practically delivered to her doorstep.

"This surprise came way too suddenly... A seventeen-year-old Mid-tier War General, and a Psychic Master comparable to a Primary War God. I've hit the jackpot!"

"It's all thanks to me!"

"Hmph! Once I recruit Lin Ye, let's see how that old man can keep saying I spend all day doing nothing useful!"

Seemingly thinking of some agreement, Xu Qi's lips spread into a distinctly unladylike grin.

With both hands on her hips, she looked exactly like a proud little peacock.

"Hahaha..."

A string of silver-bell laughter rang through the surveillance room.

However,

when Xu Qi came back to herself and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, panic immediately appeared on her face.

"Ah... It's already six twenty!!"
