Recruitment and Weapons

On the screen, the man in suit from the HR Alliance was still giving his pitch—

"Our Alliance is the world's largest platform for warrior exchange! Here, you can take on missions with enormous rewards!"

"Our Alliance has tremendous influence all over the world! Join us and become one of us, and you'll enjoy the finest services wherever you go!"

"Our Alliance possesses powerful military and political influence. Join us..."

The middle-aged man's presentation on the carriage screen lasted a full fifteen minutes.

After he disappeared, another stern man in military uniform appeared. He addressed the warriors in the carriage:

"Future warriors, let me introduce myself. I am the deputy director of the Jiangnan Base City Security Bureau..."

This was a recruitment pitch from the military.

"Future warriors..."

After the deputy director finished speaking, another person appeared on the screen. This time, it was a supervisor from Thunder Martial Hall, likewise giving a presentation to recruit warriors.

"Future warriors, I am a supervisor from Limit Martial Arts Dojo..."

Finally, the recruitment presentations came to an end with a speech from Zhuge Tao, a supervisor from Limit Martial Arts Dojo.

The speeches from all four men sparked heated discussion among the warriors in the carriage.

"Second Brother, which organization are you planning to join after becoming a warrior? I think Limit Martial Arts Dojo is pretty good."

"Join the Underground Alliance. That's where you make the most money, haha."

"Thunder Martial Hall isn't bad either. Its benefits for warriors are even a little better than Limit Martial Arts Dojo's."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng did not join the discussion, because they had already joined Limit Martial Arts Dojo not long ago.

In truth, the most powerful force in this world was the government military, followed by the HR Alliance. Only after them came Thunder Martial Hall and Limit Martial Arts Dojo.

Amid the crowd's lively discussions, the train soon arrived at its destination.

The carriage broadcast sounded—

"Quasi-Warriors, the train will soon arrive at the station. Please prepare to disembark."

As the train slowly came to a stop.

Luo Xia and the others followed the other warriors off the train. Before long, their group of more than a thousand warriors entered a large military camp.

"Eldest Brother, look outside the camp!"

This was Luo Xia and the others' first time leaving the Base City and coming outside.

The moment he got off the train, Luo Xia could not resist looking around. Then, he spotted some monsters beyond the military camp.

These monsters had long since lost their appearance from before the Great Nirvana. Through constant evolution, they had all become savage and terrifying.

Following Luo Xia's pointing finger, Luo Feng looked beyond the camp and saw several monsters so hungry that their bellies had caved in. They stared at the military camp and let out waves of roars.

Clearly, the sight of so many Quasi-Warriors arriving had made these monsters drool with hunger.

Yet none of the monsters dared approach the camp, because the area around it was packed with firepower and guarded by all kinds of Soldiers.

If any of those monsters dared come closer, the cannons and Machine Guns would immediately open fire and kill them!

Caw—

A strange cry came from overhead.

Luo Xia and the others looked up and saw a dense flock of Flying Beasts whistling across the azure sky.

"The books said that once you leave the Base City, you can see all kinds of monsters everywhere. They really weren't wrong. We're still inside a military camp, yet we've already seen monsters we normally never see. If we went into the Wilderness Zone, wouldn't there be monsters everywhere?"

Luo Feng spoke to Luo Xia with a sigh.

"Everyone—"

At that moment, a loud voice was broadcast to the crowd through the camp's loudspeakers.

"Welcome to the Jiangnan City Northern Military Region. This time, the Combat Assessment for all 1,681 of you will be held in our Northern Military Region!"

"I hope most of you will pass the assessment, and I hope every one of you will survive this Combat Assessment!"

"Our Military Region has prepared lunch for everyone. After you finish eating, please gather at the plaza!"

After hearing the announcement, Luo Feng said to Luo Xia, "Let's go."

The two followed the others to the Military Region cafeteria and ate a hearty lunch.

That afternoon.

Following the instructions, Luo Xia and the others arrived at an open plaza.

Many people were already standing in the plaza. At the front stood senior officials from the Jiangnan City Northern Military Region, along with several high-ranking members of Limit Martial Arts Dojo and Thunder Martial Hall.

Various weapons and Combat Suits had been laid out before them. Some Soldiers were maintaining order. Soon, they would distribute weapons and Combat Suits to Luo Xia and the other assessment participants!

"Next, Quasi-Warriors whose names are called, come forward to collect your Combat Suits and weapons!"

"Yan Zhuo!"

"He Feng!"

"Liu Changg Guang!"

One name after another was called. Before long, it was Luo Feng and Luo Xia's turn. The Two Brothers' names seemed to have been placed together.

"Luo Feng!"

"Luo Xia!"

Luo Xia and Luo Feng stepped forward together and collected their Combat Suits and weapons.

Luo Feng had decided long ago to use a saber as his weapon, so the weapon he received was the Bloodshadow Battleblade he had reported to the Military Region before coming here.

As for Luo Xia, he planned to use a sword as his weapon.

He received a Long Sword from the Silvermoon Series, its quality equal to Eldest Brother Luo Feng's Bloodshadow Battleblade.

Besides their weapons, they also received Combat Suits, Hexagonal Shields, and Communication Watches.

The Communication Watch had positioning and communication functions. If a Quasi-Warrior encountered an extremely dangerous situation during the assessment, he could use the watch to call the Military Region for help.

But if he did so, he would also lose the chance to become a Warrior.

After collecting their equipment, Luo Xia and the others could leave the plaza and return to the resting quarters the Military Region had assigned them to change into their Combat Suits.

Not long afterward, Luo Feng and Luo Xia had changed clothes.

They both wore Alloy Combat Boots, combat vests, and military trousers, which made them look tall and upright. With Hexagonal Shields on their backs, along with the War Saber and Long Sword, they looked even more spirited and valiant!

"Those two are the little guys your Limit Martial Arts Dojo recruited in advance this time?"

In the distance, where Luo Feng and Luo Xia could not notice them, a Burly Man wearing a Dark Purple Combat Suit asked Zhuge Tao beside him.

Zhuge Tao was also wearing a Combat Suit at the moment. His dark black suit shimmered with specks of silver, making his bearing extraordinary.

He smiled and answered the Burly Man's question. "That's right. Those are the two."

"They don't look like much. They're not much better than ours at Thunder Martial Hall."

The Burly Man looked at Zhuge Tao with a slightly smug expression.

"Our Thunder Martial Hall also recruited two in advance this time. One of them has Physical Quality no worse than that Luo Feng you mentioned, while the other is even a Firearms Genius!"

As he spoke, he pointed at two young men changing equipment in the distance.

"There, those two. One is called Wan Dong, and the other, the one as pretty as a woman, is called Ma Xiao."

Faced with the Burly Man's boasting, Zhuge Tao maintained a smile and said:

"It seems Limit Martial Arts Dojo did a fine job keeping things confidential. We didn't let those two children's test data leak out."

The Burly Man froze for a moment upon hearing this. "Zhuge, what do you mean by that?"

Zhuge Tao smiled and asked in return:

"Are you truly sure the Physical Quality of the two young men you recruited is not much different from the Physical Quality of the two children we recruited?"

At this point, how could the Burly Man fail to understand? He hesitated and asked:

"Could it be that the Physical Quality of those two boys you recruited is very high? How high?"

Zhuge Tao merely smiled without answering.
