Chapter 63 The Efforts of the Ordinary
"Day after day, year after year, I am fighting almost every day, and my opponent is my father, or other elders in my family. My family needs to be revived. In this era, following the path of the glorious army and becoming the patron saint of mankind is the fast and most effective path."
But it is also the most dangerous.
Ling An didn't expect this to be the case. After a while of silence, he said:
"You must have worked very hard."
"Fortunately, I'm used to it. If I don't do this, I feel something is wrong."
Ye Zixu said it lightly, but Ling An could feel the bitterness afterwards.
"So sometimes I envy you."
"Envy me?"
"Well, Suman once told me about you, and he said you are a very sunny person who can bring happiness and warmth to others inadvertently."
Ling An felt a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said:
"No need to say this, I know I'm excellent."
Ye Zixu was stunned, and after a while, he stared at Ling An strangely:
“Can’t you be more modest?”
Ye Zixu had not recovered to the point where he could train. After Ling An said goodbye to him, he went to the training ground.
He has recovered a lot now and can help his muscle repair by doing some small training.
When he arrived at the training ground, the bearded man guarding the door was bored and looked at the Tianxun bracelet, with some things for entertainment on it. The bearded man was watching a video at this moment, with a honest smile on his face.
Ling An walked over and saw that it seemed like a film recording a cat.
"What do you want to see? Go in if you want to train." The bearded man noticed Ling An's approaching and raised his head to find that it was Ling An:
"It's you, you're almost recovering?"
"I also want to thank you for your ointment for your seniors." Ling An said quickly.
"You're welcome, that doesn't take much merit point."
What is the meritorious point? Ling An recalled the information he had read, and seemed to have a description of this aspect, so he immediately asked the bearded man about meritorious point.
"You don't know? Oh, that's right. The recruits should have someone to introduce them when they arrive on Mars. Then I'll tell you in advance." said the bearded man.
Ling An listened carefully.
The so-called meritorious points are actually equivalent to the currency within the Glorious Army.
Due to the limitation of supplies and resources, in order to reasonably allocate resources, many resources within the Glorious Army are exchanged for merit points.
Especially for guerrilla troops, except for the necessary standard weapons and equipment, everything else must be exchanged with merit points, such as customized weapons and potions.
In addition, all enjoyment resources also require merit points to be redeemed.
D-level warriors need to be evaluated to advance to C-level warriors, and it also takes a certain amount of merit to start the assessment.
Ling An also knew one thing, that is, it would take the initiative to apply for retirement, which would require a lot of merit points. Eight years is just the shortest period. In fact, some people may stay for ten years and not retire for fifteen years.
Of course, if someone can serve on the Martian battlefield for up to twenty years, no matter whether the meritorious points are enough, they can apply for retirement directly.
Like a bearded man, he used to be a garrison. He stayed on the Martian battlefield for ten years before retiring. Later, he couldn't stay at home, so he applied to be transferred to the second line for work.
There are two ways to obtain merit points.
First, complete the above tasks. These tasks are mandatory and will be given certain merit points after completion.
The second is to obtain it by killing enemies. When guerrillas go out to perform tasks, they need to wear special recorders. After returning to the fortress, there will be a dedicated person to check and give corresponding merits.
In the words of beards, such as ointments, potions, etc., the least merit points are required.
Almost everything that can enhance combat effectiveness requires few merit points, and enjoyment resources require more merit points.
Ling An could understand that based on the method of obtaining merit points, he could understand that the more tasks the more powerful the warriors perform, the more merit points they will get, so that the resources will naturally tilt towards them.
In addition, most of the necessary and common items are allocated on demand, so under limited resources, it not only ensures the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers, but also gives those capable soldiers a faster promotion opportunity.
"Thank you, senior."
"No need to thank you, you will know about this soon anyway. By the way, my name is Guo Heng, I can call me Lao Guo or Uncle Guo, and I don't need to call you from seniors." The bearded man pointed to his badge.
"Uncle Guo, then I'll go in."
"Go and go, be careful, don't hurt your muscles again." Guo Heng waved his hand.
When entering the training room, there were already many new recruits here. Ling An's arrival attracted the attention of some new recruits.
A few days ago, when he and Ye Zixu were on the scene, they were watched by many new recruits. The two were obviously at the level of D-level soldiers, which made the new recruits watching the battle admire them very much.
"Brother Ling."
"Brother Ling."
Ling An was a little surprised. There were so many people who knew him. Many of them, in addition to greeting Ling An, whether he had recovered, their eyes also revealed their curiosity about the Youbu that Ling An and Ye Zixu showed that day.
Ling An told them that there is no need to be impatient. As a more advanced combat skills and footwork than the Butterfly Step, Youbu can also be redeemed and learned in the merit exchange form.
But if you can't even master the butterfly step to the point of being proficient, it will be difficult to learn the Secret Step.
After chatting with these recruits for a while, Ling An walked into the training room deeper.
The position I just was in was the conventional gravity zone. Now Ling An is entering the double gravity zone. With his physical strength, it is difficult for training under conventional gravity to promote recovery.
From simply sitting up, it is just push-ups. When you feel a little hot, you stand up and use training equipment to assist yourself in training.
However, Ling An was a little curious. There were not many people training in the conventional gravity zone, and he was the only one in the doubling gravity zone. The indicator light on the door from the doubling gravity zone to the five-fold gravity zone was on, indicating that someone was training inside.
Who will it be so late?
Ling An was a little curious. After a while, the door happened to open, and a young man gasping and sweating was almost crawling out of the five-fold gravity zone.
Luo Wen was very annoyed.
Ever since he saw the level of Ling An and Ye Zixu, he has always felt that he was missing something.
These days, he has been training wildly. Every day, he wakes up and finishes his meal, he rushes to the training area. He always soaks in the five-fold gravity area for the whole day. He comes out exhausted at night and turns on the engine recovery mode in his room, and comes back the next morning.
Rather than training, it is better to say that Luo Wen is numbing himself. He doesn't understand why the gap between himself and Ling An and Ye Zixu is so big that he tried hard to catch up, but he couldn't catch up.
He needs time to figure it out.
Once again, he came out of the five times gravity zone with fatigue. The fatigue on his body made it difficult for Luo Wen to stand. Anyway, it was so late, and there should be no one else outside, so he just crawled out halfway.
He collapsed to the ground, and the engine was absorbing G substance to replenish energy, but his physical fatigue was difficult to relieve for a while. Luo Wen just lay down like this, wanting to wait until the pain was a little weak before walking back to the room.
Hum? Why are there anyone?
A pair of boots appeared in front of Luo Wen. When he looked up, he saw Ling An looking at him with some concern.
"Is it okay? How can I train myself to this way?"
With Ling An's help, Luo Wen struggled to find a training equipment and sat down with him.
"I can't figure it out."
Luo Wen recovered a little, but didn't look at Ling An, and just looked up at the ceiling of the training room, a little confused.
"Ling An, why are you and Ye Zixu so strong?"
Ling An was stunned. Does Luo Wen think the gap is too big and there is a psychological gap?
How should I say this question?
Diligent? Ling An believes that he is not lazy, but there are many people who maintain the same training frequency as him. When he comes here so late today, he just wants to do some training to promote his recovery.
When it comes to diligence, Luo Wen himself is much more diligent than Ling An. Sometimes he and Ye Zixu have already gone back to rest, and you can still see Luo Wen practicing hard.
That is the reason for talent. Although he doesn't want to attribute his achievements to this point, Ling An has to admit that he and Ye Zixu are both extremely talented people.
Whether it is the understanding of combat skills or the strength of innate mental power, Ling An and Ye Zixu are both top notch among ordinary people.
It is precisely because of this that the Glorious Army gave them the Zhoutian Jue.
"Everyone has a bottleneck, and sometimes, breaking through the bottleneck requires some opportunities."
What can Ling An say? Could it be that you tell Luo Wen that you don’t have any talent?
"Maybe, but I regret it now. I don't seem to be suitable for being a Glorious Army soldier. Even if I practice hard and desperately, I can only barely compare to Huaji, and Qingsong is better than me." Luo Wen said in disappointment.
Ling An was silent. Xiang Qingsong also had the talent to master mental power. The Glorious Army also sent him the Zhoutian Jue. It can only be said that this method is indeed very exquisite. Even if Xiang Qingsong is not so diligent, he can still be stronger than Luo Wen.
"Brother, don't care. You work hard, everyone can see this. When opportunities come, those who work hard are the ones who can grasp it."
This is not a comfort. Ling An knew that the best way to break through the bottleneck is to seek opportunities in the crisis of life and death. There is definitely no shortage of such opportunities on the Martian battlefield.
But he also regretted Luo Wen. A person who is so diligent still has a sense of responsibility that makes Ling An feel ashamed, but he does not have enough talent and often encounters bottlenecks.
"You don't need to comfort me, I can adjust my mindset myself." Luo Wen smiled, "Sometimes I just feel that you are different from most of us, maybe it's an illusion."
Different? Feeling?
Ling An moved his heart and looked at Luo Wen.
"Lao Luo, try to feel the energy in my body."
Seeing Luo Wen's face was puzzled, Ling An didn't care about that much, so he let him feel it carefully, while he closed his eyes and began to activate the Zhoutian Art.
After running for half a week, Ling An opened his eyes and looked at Luo Wen.
"How is it, do you feel anything?"
Luo Wen was silent for a moment, shook his head, his eyes a little confused.
He didn't know what Ling An was going to do this.
Ling An's face was a little disappointed.
I just heard Luo Wen say that he felt something different from others. Ling An thought that he had felt the operation of their Zhoutian Art. If that was the case, it would prove that Luo Wen had a certain talent and might be able to practice Zhoutian Art.
However, it turns out that Rowan does not have this talent.
