Volume 1 The Long Night Will Dawn Chapter 62: Scattered Stars
Tianjing base city, main urban area.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, but because it was summer, it was still daylight.
An old man, probably in his sixties, was pruning the branches of the trees in the garden. He looked scholarly, like a teacher.
"Teacher, Councillor Jia sent you an encrypted email."
A middle-aged man walked in hurriedly.
The old man was still busy with his work and ignored him.
The middle-aged man was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to rush, so he just waited by the side.
The teacher's temperament has always been like this.
After half an hour, the old man slowly packed up his things, turned on the faucet and washed off the dirt on his hands.
He walked over and said, "Teacher, I don't know what happened to Councillor Jia. Please go and take a look."
The old man wiped his hands with a towel and glanced at him: "If you don't change your impatient temper, you will never be able to practice this sword well."
"If Jia Yi had something important, he wouldn't have sent me an email. How come he couldn't contact me these days, so why would he need to send me an email?"
"If you are not in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
The old man taught his disciples: "To defeat an army, one must accumulate strength and then release it. The grasp of opportunity and the transformation of realm all require slow and steady progress."
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "It's Councillor Jia after all. He rarely emails you. What if there's something important? Wouldn't that delay you?"
He grew up hearing about Jia Yi's name all these years . Even though he had met him many times, it was still difficult for him to remain calm when he was involved in something.
"What happened to Jia Yi?" The old man's tone was still calm and steady: "Since he didn't break my phone, if there is something important, it can be delayed."
He looked at his eldest disciple Lu Peng, who was a capable and competent man, but not good at using a sword.
I felt that there was no point in saying the rest.
It’s no big deal if you can’t use the sword well, just use it well.
The old man looked at the setting sunlight and felt a little bored.
Among these disciples of mine, who can really make good use of them?
He walked into the room, turned on the computer, entered the password, and opened the encrypted email, which contained a video file.
He frowned slightly and moved the mouse to click on the video.
The sword light is brilliant.
It is like a silver silk thread, following one's heart's wishes and with natural charm.
When the video progress bar ended, he smacked his lips, as if he was still not satisfied, and let out a meaningful sigh.
"Oh my god..."
…
Jia Yi has been in the North District for more than a week.
A lot happened this week, including the collection of the remains of and the memorial service.
The solemn scene, the crying of family members, the bright red names on the tombstones and the young faces in the photos.
It seemed to be engraved in Lin Yan's mind.
He had never felt so empathetic before.
To him in his previous life, those grand things were just simple emotions stemming from national identity, but now that he is wearing this military uniform, it is an existence that he must defend with his life.
After that night, the beast tide had weakened in strength, leaving only surging waves, no longer causing huge storms.
Under normal circumstances, it will take about half a month to a month for the situation to completely subside.
Lin Yan was given a piece of chalcedony by Jia Yi a few days ago. Although this thing is expensive, it is definitely worth the money.
The improvement in cultivation talent is limited and can only be described as slight.
However, the improvement in cultivation speed is indeed immediate.
After the cosmic energy enters the cells, it is absorbed by the mitochondria within the cells, converted into genetic energy, and then absorbed by various parts of the cells. The cells evolve and divide, thereby optimizing every cell in the body, including the skin, muscles, bones, and even deep levels.
What chalcedony accelerates is this entire energy reaction process, and it does not conflict .
When Jia Yi handed it to him, he told him that the effect of a portion of chalcedony would last from nine months to a year, and the accelerated efficiency would increase by 70% to 90%.
Seventy to ninety percent is based on guiding techniques.
Just like Lin Yan now, the guiding technique of the Supreme Induction allows his cellular capacity for absorbing energy to reach ten times, and the acceleration efficiency is increased by 90%. On a daily basis, it is 19 times that of the normal Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method.
This is why the value of chalcedony is equivalent to the water of life.
Just like Wen Xiuyong said, the water of life is of no use if you are not injured, but the effect of chalcedony is useful to everyone.
Even when the production of chalcedony increases and the channels for external sales are not controlled, it will become a necessity for everyone who can afford it.
The effect is close to doubling, others have it but you don’t, if you don’t fall behind, who will?
With this bonus effect, Lin Yan officially entered the level of advanced warrior yesterday.
In the past few days, he has also been helping Wen Xiuyong implement the formal design plan for the Niyero production line.
It's almost done.
Once the plan is finalized, we will focus on producing the machines, determine the site, and start production as soon as possible.
Lin Yan came to the hospital thinking about these things.
Liu Mingxuan and the others woke up two days ago, but they still need to rest for a while before they can recover.
"Brothers, I come to see you again."
When Lin Yan reached the door of the ward, he could already hear the voice but didn't see the person anymore.
But when he walked in, he saw that the others were not there. Instead, there was a beautiful woman standing beside Liu Mingxuan's bed. She was about the same age as Liu Mingxuan, well-dressed, and had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.
He was a little confused. Who was this person?
"Hello, I'm Mingxuan's girlfriend, my name is Wang Xinyue."
Lin Yan shook hands with her: "My name is Lin Yan, and I am a member of the Star Special Forces that Captain Liu belongs to."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Mingxuan lying on the hospital bed with a somewhat mischievous look.
It’s not easy.
Some people appear to be like icebergs on the surface, but they already have beautiful girlfriends quietly, while some people keep saying that they are experienced people, but they can only go on blind dates when they get home.
"Then you guys chat, I'll go back first."
Wang Xinyue smiled sweetly, said hello to Liu Mingxuan, and left.
Lin Yan joked: "Captain is really a man who never shows his true colors."
Liu Mingxuan was rarely willing to talk about himself. He smiled faintly and said, "I liked her for three years before she agreed to be with me. How can I compare to you? It's not even three days and you're already in harmony with your girlfriend."
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
Liu Mingxuan raised his head and looked at Lin Yan, his voice still cold: "The establishment of our Star Team has been cancelled."
Lin Yan was surprised: "What?"
Liu Mingxuan said, "In fact, I have been waiting for a place in the God of War Training Camp, but because the number of places available to our military is very limited, I have never waited. This morning, Director Li came to tell me that the next place has been reserved. I am now a high-level warrior, so there is no point in waiting any longer."
"He told me that Councillor Jia was willing to introduce me to Councillor Deng, which was a great opportunity for me."
Lin Yan was stunned. Could it be that the reserved spot was his?
He asked, "What about us?"
"Jia Yan and his team are still affiliated with the original unit. Now they are just going back. As for you, do you know how ashamed I was when I found a lord-level monster entered the laboratory under our noses that day?"
Liu Mingxuan's voice was a little vague.
"I know. I knew it the moment I woke up and found that you were fine. Lin Yan, you are far better than anyone else. You must continue on your path well."
He guessed that the pre-reserved spot was reserved for Lin Yan. He was an observant and careful person, and knew how amazing Lin Yan's talent was. He also learned something from the director of the Security Department, Li Tai, and knew how eye-catching his comrade-in-arms was.
But he didn't care, not at all.
"Jia Yan once told us that the words you said to him in that building would allow the wilderness to re-establish human order and make those brilliant ideals come true. I believe you can do it, and I am willing to wait for that day."
"I am also willing to fight alongside you at any time."
“The North Side is too small.”
The handsome man smiled and said expectantly, "So, let more people see your edge."
"my brother."
