Chapter 6 The Monster Black Bead (2)
Stepping onto the Avenue of Stars again, the more Zhou Weiqing thought about it, the angrier he became. Although he survived a narrow escape, his impression of his fiancée had fallen to the lowest level. Bottom line, if it hadn't been for encountering that weird black bead, I'm afraid my life would have been ruined in the Star Forest.
"Difuya, just wait, one day I will make you regret it." Zhou Weiqing said fiercely, he had never hated someone so much. Even those who laughed at him would never take anything against him on the surface. This time Difuya actually did this cruelly because of a misunderstanding. Zhou Weiqing was a very vengeful person.
Seeing that they were almost arriving at Tiangong City, Zhou Weiqing gradually calmed down. He was only wearing a robe, which was empty. Fortunately, there were still dozens of gold coins in the wallet in the inner pocket of the robe. . His father was extremely strict with him and his pocket money was very little.
“Go home?” Zhou Weiqing stopped, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, “No, we can’t just go home like this. Difuya, a tough girl, will definitely cry to her father about my stealing. Look at her bathing. If this reaches the ears of the old man, it won't be solved by a meal of fried bamboo shoots and meat. I'm afraid he will lose his skin even if he doesn't die." Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but think about his father's stern eyes again. He shuddered. Growing up, he had been beaten too much. If he was a little naughty, his father would give him a beating. If he found out that he had peeped at the princess taking a bath this time, he would never be able to clean himself up. For the sake of his own life and safety, he could never go back like this.
But what can we do if we don’t go back? Zhou Weiqing was in trouble. He only had a dozen gold coins on him. Although he was tall and strong, he was actually just a thirteen-year-old boy. He didn't have any skills. Even if he ran away from home, he probably wouldn't be able to survive for a few days. You can't starve to death outside.
For a moment, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but look sad. Although he was extremely reluctant, he had to continue to move towards the gate of Tiangong City step by step.
“Hey, why are there so many people in front of us?” Seeing that the city gate was close in front of him, Zhou Weiqing suddenly discovered that there were many people gathered on one side of the city gate, at least hundreds of them, and there were soldiers around them. guarded.
What are you doing? Driven by curiosity, he walked up quickly. Fortunately, the crowd was not very crowded. He squeezed a few times and reached the front of the crowd.
In front of the crowd was a row of long tables, and there was an open space around it. Many people gathered there. Behind the long table was an imperial list, with the four characters "Recruitment Revelation" written on the top, and below it read: To protect the empire. In the border area, Tiangong City is currently recruiting three thousand soldiers. The scope of recruitment is male, in good health and without disabilities, between the ages of 16 and 26, those with strong strength, and those with Tianli level will be given priority. You must first have a country before you have a family. It is for the country. Joining the army and serving in the army to protect the family and the country can show the true qualities of a man.
The level of Tianli mentioned here is actually the first and second level. If Tianli can be cultivated to the third level of Tianli and the natal pearl is awakened, then there is no need to join the army and you can directly enter the military academy. Or further study at the Pearl Master Academy, which has a bright future.
Generally speaking, if the master's natal pearl has not awakened at the age of sixteen, then the Tianli may not reach the third level in his lifetime, and the natal pearl will remain silent forever. And those to be recruited here are obviously just ordinary soldiers.
Recruiting troops? Seeing this revelation, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but feel something in his heart, yes! If you become a soldier, wouldn't you need to go back? With food to eat and military pay, maybe he could make a name for himself in the army. The old men in the province always said that he was a waste. Haha, God helps me.
After all, this boy is still young. On a whim, he did not consider whether it would be difficult to be a soldier. He is at the age when his personality is most impulsive, not to mention being called a waste every day, and his father is So harsh, he no longer wants to stay at home. Having made a decision in his heart, Zhou Weiqing had already squeezed into the front seat and asked a veteran behind the table who was responsible for recruiting soldiers: "Brother, I want to sign up, I want to sign up."
Although there were hundreds of people watching here, not many people actually signed up to join the army. Tiangong City must be the capital of the Tiangong Empire. The civilians living here are much richer than other places, and the Tiangong Empire is originally the capital of the Tiangong Empire. It is a small country that has constant conflicts with several surrounding countries. Therefore, being a soldier is not a safe thing. As long as there is no way out, the people of Tiangong City generally will not choose to let their children become soldiers. , not to mention the children of nobles.
The people sitting behind the table in charge of recruiting troops are all veterans, and they have at least the rank of squad leader. There are twenty people in total. The one facing Zhou Weiqing looks like he is in his thirties, although he is Sitting there, you can still see his tall and strong figure, but his face has a lazy look. Anyone who has been in the army for a long time can see that this is a typical soldier.
“Boy, do you want to be a soldier?” Someone suddenly signed up, and the Bingyouzi team leader was immediately excited. After all, there were twenty of them sitting here, but the boy who signed up was just Choosing his side gave him a lot of face.
"Yes! I want to be a soldier." Zhou Weiqing said with certainty. Seeing the majestic looks of these team captains wearing armor and sitting behind their backs strengthened his confidence in becoming a soldier.
Captain Bingyouzi nodded and said: "Okay, what kind of army do you want to be?"
"Ah?" Although Zhou Weiqing's father is the largest in the Tiangong Empire's army The leader, but he knew nothing about the affairs of the army. He asked weakly: "Is there any difference?"
"Of course there are differences. Although the treatment of ordinary soldiers is the same, the arms are different and the test items are also different. For example, the light infantry is tested first for endurance. On the battlefield, they are always the busiest people. They have to go back and forth. Run. Therefore, endurance is very important. If you can run, you have a higher chance of surviving on the battlefield, right? And most of the troops are developed from light infantry. Start with infantry. Of course, there are other primary units, such as baggage troops, grain and grass troops, and fire-head troops. However, these are the least promising and will never become popular. Captain Bingyouzi curled his lips in disdain.
As soon as he heard the words "survive on the battlefield", Zhou Weiqing's previous enthusiasm immediately dissipated a lot, right! Being a soldier means going to the battlefield, and you don't have much ability. If you become cannon fodder on the battlefield, it won't be worth it!
"Uh, brother officer, how about I think about this again?" It is human nature to be afraid of death, not to mention that Zhou Weiqing looks sixteen or seventeen years old on the surface, but is actually only thirteen. Only years old.
