Having reached an agreement with Sun Sieha, Ye Chong was also in a good mood. Both of them would get what they wanted, which was the best outcome.
Apprentice? No problem! This was not the first time Ye Chong had done something like this, and he believed it would not be the last.
The A.I. had already helped him filter out those who were too physically weak, but even so, there were still 1,800 people who made it in. Ye Chong was not satisfied with this number.
A week before His Majesty's coronation, a sensational piece of news spread throughout Su City. Eastern Cloud's Chief Weaponsmith, the first person to defeat 12 Level 6 shooters in close range combat, Master Ye, was accepting apprentices. This was not some random rumor. The source of the news was the Eastern Cloud Palace. The Royal Family had made a special announcement.
With this, the residents, who had been skeptical of the rumors, were now convinced. A few days ago, news of Master Ye defeating 12 Level 6 shooters had spread throughout Su City. However, the news was too shocking, and many people thought it was just a rumor. This time, the Royal Palace's announcement confirmed the rumor, and the discussion about Master Ye grew even more heated.
Crowds began to pour into Master Ye's manor. The announcement stated the criteria for Master Ye to accept apprentices. The low criteria made many people happy. Anyone below the age of 16, and in good health, could participate. Once selected, not only would they receive a monthly salary from the Royal Family, but they would also have a chance to enter Eastern Cloud's administrative department. How could the people not go crazy with such good conditions?
The poor saw hope in the announcement. The monthly salary, food, and accommodation were all provided. This was the most attractive condition for them.
The announcement did not appeal to the rich, but they had their own sources of information. They were more informed, and could easily find out what was going on. Besides, all the aristocratic families had many youths who did not have the talent to learn parapsychic control. These youths had a bleak future ahead of them. Now that there was a better chance, why would they not take it?
The crowd swarmed towards Ye Chong's manor.
The gates of Ye Chong's manor were so crowded that they almost broke. There were so many people outside. Sha Ya stood nervously beside Ye Chong with her laser gun in hand. She felt her scalp tingle at the sight of so many people. Even though she was a Level 8 shooter, she would not be able to escape the fate of being trampled on if anything were to happen.
At a rough glance, there were probably no less than ten thousand people.
"Hey, have you started yet? My time is tight, I don't have time to waste with you here! "
"That's right!"
Since Ye Chong did not do anything, the crowd was getting restless.
Suddenly, a group of black dots appeared on the horizon, and a buzzing sound came from afar.
A fighter group consisting of 40 transport planes and 120 fighter jets was flying towards them. On the fighter jets and transport planes, the royal insignia shone in the sunlight.
"Look! It was the Royal Guard Camp! Wow, so cool! "
"So cool!" Voices like this rang out from the crowd. The Royal Guard Battalion may not be large in size, but it was the most elite unit in Eastern Cloud. They reported directly to His Majesty and were responsible for his safety. They rarely showed themselves, and in the eyes of others, they were very mysterious.
The nobles in the crowd, on the other hand, were surprised. The Royal Guard Battalion was His Majesty's last line of defense. It was rare to see them, unless it was absolutely necessary. It was rare to see such a large-scale operation! Forty transport planes and one hundred and twenty fighter jets. This was definitely a big operation.
At this moment, the fighter jets suddenly scattered. They were like a school of small fish, circling around the transport planes. The 40 transport planes began to land slowly. The people on the ground quickly ran away to make way for them.
The crowd watched the transport planes preparing to land curiously. The royal insignia on them was very eye-catching. The Royal Guard Battalion was a very mysterious force to the people. Even the nobles rarely saw them, let alone had any dealings with them.
Forty transport planes landed safely. These heavy-duty transport planes were very expensive, and their carrying capacity was astonishing. Even the First Division, which had always been well-equipped, only had eighty such transport planes, but the Royal Guard Camp had sent forty of them at once. This caused Du Feng and the others, who had been paying attention to this, to be extremely envious.
Whoosh! The doors of the 40 transport planes opened in unison.
"Disembark!" The orderly order made everyone's heart skip a beat, but then their blood began to boil.
One by one, fully armed soldiers ran down from the transport aircraft. Their orderly footsteps and their cold gazes caused everyone's heart to tremble.
In three minutes, all four thousand soldiers had already disembarked. Their efficiency was so high that it left people speechless.
"Impressive!" Du Feng, who had been watching from the top of a hill in the distance, had a sour look on his face.
Beside him, Li Gui's expression was also grim. "The Royal Guard Battalion lives up to their reputation! This murderous aura is not something a normal army can match. Even the weakest of these guys is probably a Level 6 shooter! "
Du Feng smirked. "We have nothing to say about their skills. But look at their equipment! Tsk tsk, how extravagant, sending out 40 Giant Mushrooms at once. Look at their equipment, we're all beggars. "
Li Gui nodded. "They're different from us. I'm jealous of their equipment, but there's no point in thinking about it. I'm just curious. The Royal Guard Battalion only moves on His Majesty's orders. Why did His Majesty send so many people here? Is he trying to kill that Ye guy? "
"I don't think so. If he wanted to kill him, all he had to do was send a group of fighter jets to blow that Ye guy up. Is there a need to mobilize so many people? "Du Feng retorted.
By then, the 4,000 fully armed soldiers of the Royal Guard Battalion had lined up again. The transport planes slowly rose into the air. The fighter jets that were circling in the sky approached them like cats that smelled blood. Soon, they formed a new group of fighter jets. They quickly flew away again.
At the very front of the four thousand soldiers stood a brawny man with a scar on his face. The scar stretched from the corner of his mouth all the way to his left eye. It looked like a giant centipede was crawling on his face, and it was indescribably terrifying and hideous. The man was extremely muscular. Standing at 1.85 meters tall, he looked like an iron mountain.
Coldly sweeping his eyes around, the scar-faced man raised his right hand. Under the sun, the straight index finger was clearly visible.
The two outermost rows of soldiers suddenly separated from the formation like paper peeling off a wall. With a clatter, their guns were in their hands.
"Surround them!"
"Surround them!" The low-ranking officers on both sides shouted.
Following their orders, the two rows of soldiers began to run at full speed. They moved like two arrows in an inverted figure eight, advancing along the edge of the crowd.
The sound of the leather boots stepping on the ground at high speed was as frightening as the rapid beat of a drum.
In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded Ye Chong. Each of the soldiers pointed their laser guns at the crowd, and the cold glint in their eyes was enough to make the cowards wet their pants. A strong wave of psychic energy enveloped the entire crowd. Those in the crowd who had strong parapsychic sense, like the Shu sisters, were all shocked. Most of the people in the crowd were ordinary teenagers. They had never seen such a scene before, and were all pale with fright.
The man with the scar on his face was expressionless as he strode towards Ye Chong.
The crowd blocking the entrance of Ye Chong's manor naturally cleared a path for him. The man with the scar on his face exuded a strong murderous aura. Everyone within three meters of him shuddered involuntarily.
The man with the scar on his face walked up to Ye Chong and bowed. His expression was indifferent as he said slowly, "Deputy Commander of the Royal Guard Camp, Liao San, reporting for duty under His Majesty's orders."
Ye Chong nodded, and went straight to the point. "From today onwards, until the order to return to camp arrives, you will all be under my command." He suddenly remembered the super sniper beside the little boy who had entered the free space zone with him. He was also a man with a scar on his face, but not as muscular as Ye Chong.
"Yes, sir." The man with the scar on his face had received orders from His Majesty.
The arrival of the Royal Guard Camp relieved some of Ye Chong's pressure. Everyone became well-behaved, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down. The troublemakers also understood that causing trouble at this time was no different from courting death. Under the threat of the laser guns, everyone was as docile as a sheep.
Ye Chong waited until 4 pm. By then, there were already 20,000 people gathered outside his manor. The young people who came later saw the crowd and behaved themselves, trembling in fear. Some of the smarter ones had already sat down to rest. Those who would be selected later would have a higher chance of passing the selection if they had more stamina. Those who did not believe the announcement that the qualified candidates would be given priority in entering Eastern Cloud's administration were now convinced when they saw the Royal Guard Camp.
To be able to have the Royal Guard Camp to hold the line for the selection of disciples was something unique in Eastern Cloud, not just in Eastern Cloud, but in the entire world.
However, at this moment, many people began to feel uneasy. His Majesty was even willing to send his own Royal Guard Camp to hold the fort. If someone said that the selection of Grandmaster Ye and the others was very strict, no one would have any doubts about it. In the eyes of the crowd, this was a very normal thing. They began to worry about whether they would make it to the selection.
Ye Chong, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly stood up.
This attracted everyone's attention. Even the cold-looking man with the scar on his face looked at Ye Chong. When he received the order, he was very curious. In fact, the Royal Guard Camp had never received such an order ever since it was first established. What kind of mission was it to hold the line for someone else? However, the number of missions assigned to the Royal Guard Camp was pitifully low. They did not have a single mission all year round. They spent all their time training, which directly caused their training intensity to be ten times higher than that of ordinary soldiers. It was rare for him to have a mission, so Liao San treated it as a relaxing activity.
However, he was curious about Ye Chong, the man whom His Majesty trusted so much. His Majesty was a suspicious and strict person, and had never trusted anyone so much before. Half of the Royal Guard Camp was given to Liao San at once. No one else could compare to him. Liao San was not interested in politics at all. He was just curious about it. Besides, this Master Ye's battle against 12 Level 6 shooters had spread like wildfire in Su City. Liao San had heard about it as well.
The crowd held their breaths, waiting for Ye Chong to announce the selection criteria.
"Everyone has been accepted. Gather here at 6 am tomorrow morning. Latecomers will not be accepted. You may leave now. "
Ye Chong's announcement surprised everyone. What … What was going on?
Liao San grew impatient as he watched the people dilly-dallying. He shouted, "I told you to go, so go! What are you waiting for? I'm counting down. If you don't leave in 10 minutes, I'll shoot you! "
As soon as he finished speaking, those people immediately scattered like birds. Two minutes later, there was no one left, except for the Shu sisters.
Ye Chong pointed at the two of them and said to Liao San, "Knock them out and take them away."
"Yes sir." Liao San did not show any mercy. He struck the Shu sisters' necks with his hands. Before they could react, their vision went black and they fell to the ground. Liao San did not even look at the sisters. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Gui Gui!"
A female soldier walked out from the ranks. Her face was pale, and her lips were pale as if she had albinism. Her exposed fingers were pale as well, unlike the dark skin of the other soldiers. The female soldier called Gui Gui had a cold look in her eyes, but her movements were swift. The soldiers around her were afraid of her.
"Bring these two women to your tent. If any bastard dares to cheat, I'll cut him up slowly!" Liao San roared.
"Yes sir." Gui Gui bowed expressionlessly and walked to Shu Mo'er and Shu Mo'er. She placed them on her shoulders and retreated to her position. Shu Mo'er and her sister, who had captivated countless people, seemed to be ignored. No one even looked at them.
Ye Chong's eyes brightened. He had led a team before, and knew that it was not easy for a team, especially a team of men, to do this. From this, it could be seen that the standard of this team was very high.
Ye Chong now had to consider the training ground. A large training ground that could accommodate about 20,000 people. However, this was not a difficult problem for him.
He had not made much progress in his research in the past few days, but he had made some progress. One of them was the creation of a very low-level photon processor. These photon processors were the lowest-level bio-photon processors recorded in the chip. They had low computing power, and were not very practical. They were not difficult to build, but Ye Chong had spent a lot of effort on them. Besides, he had looted a lot of good stuff from the laboratory on Spectre, which included the basic form of these little bio-photon processors. Otherwise, with Ye Chong's skills, it would have taken him years to build them.
However, Ye Chong had found a useful function in these low-level bio-photon processors.
Ye Chong used the materials he had on hand, and based on engineering mechs, he built some external communication devices for them. This made them truly labourers. Because of their different functions, their shapes were also very strange. Their computing power was poor, which meant that they had no intelligence. They could only move according to their predetermined needs. However, this was enough. They were the best labor machines!
The photon processor in the laboratory in Ye Chong's manor had already scanned the surrounding terrain using a holographic scanning system. Celest's photon processor could easily choose the best plan, break it down into several parts, and input them into each of the labor machines. Then, these labor machines would follow the pre-designed program and complete it meticulously.
This was one of Ye Chong's innovations. However, before he could put it to use, he ran into trouble. He had no choice but to use the untested labor machines. A training ground that could accommodate 20,000 people was not a big project. Moreover, a training ground as simple as this would only take half an hour for a professional mech pilot in the field of construction and construction.
However, this was the best Ye Chong could come up with.
Liao San and the rest set up their own camp. Ye Chong did not need to make any arrangements. It was a piece of cake for them. It was common for elites like them to set up camp in the wild. …
The night gradually darkened. The soldiers gathered around the campfire and chatted casually. To them, this kind of life could be called heaven. If they were in the camp, the daily training would be so intense that they would not even have the strength to get up. Dying during training was not a big deal to them.
Gui Gui sat quietly by a campfire. Her pale face was reflected in the dancing flames, looking eerie and scary. There was no one around her. She was the only female soldier in the Royal Guards, and no one dared to cross her. Even someone as strong as Liao San would not dare to get within three meters of her. She had left the Shu sisters in the dry grass beside her. They were still unconscious.
Liao San licked his lips. It had been a long time since he drank. The taste of alcohol had faded from his mouth. He was surrounded by a group of mid-level colonels. They were all expressionless as they sat by the campfire. They did not want to waste any time, and continued to train their parapsychic abilities.
Liao San fiercely bit the leg in his hand. Then, he released his powerful spirit sense and spread it in all directions at an astonishing speed with Liao San as the center. Everyone looked at Liao San and shut their mouths obediently. They sat down and began to train their parapsychic sense.
"Bastards, if anyone falls asleep while training his parapsychic sense tonight, I will personally train him tomorrow!" Liao San stood there like a god. He held half of the thigh in his left hand and shouted. His thunderous voice echoed throughout the camp.
"Damn it. You are itching for a beating!" Liao San grumbled.
Suddenly, Liao San's expression changed. He stuffed half of the thigh into his mouth and chewed on the bone. The hard bones were bitten into pieces in his mouth, and he walked out of the camp without batting an eyelid.
Gui Gui raised her head. She seemed to have sensed something. She stood up and walked out of the camp. Her movements were strange.
Liao San saw Gui Gui and nodded at her. The two of them ran in the southwest direction of the manor. Their movements were agile and fast. They ran at full speed like wild beasts. It was hard to imagine that a shooter could be so fast.
After climbing up a small slope, the two of them peeked their heads out. The scene in front of them shocked the two of them.
Under the slope, there were dozens of strange-looking things lined up.
The monster at the front of the troop looked like a spider. It was black, had eight long legs, and its mouth was flat and wide. This spider-like thing was obviously a machine. Its body was huge, about five meters tall and more than ten meters wide. It looked extremely terrifying.
"What the hell is this?" Even Liao San, who was daring, couldn't help but gasp when he saw the scene in front of him.
Gui Gui's expression changed slightly. She quickly returned to normal. She lowered her voice and said, "It should be a new type of machine."
At this moment, the spider's mouth, which was as wide and flat as a knife, suddenly extended downwards until it touched the ground. While Liao San and Gui Gui were confused, the spider's mouth that touched the ground suddenly emitted a blinding light! The light was so powerful that it cut off a layer of the ground like a knife cutting tofu.
Liao San and Gui Gui looked at each other. They could see the horror in each other's eyes.
The spider did not stop there. It continued to move horizontally while emitting the light.
While it was moving horizontally, a floating car with a shovel in front started moving forward. The rocks that had already been cut off by the curtain of light were easily pushed aside, revealing the extremely smooth surface of the rock underneath. A moment later, a huge rock training ground began to take shape. Following that, a square training ground appeared in front of Liao San and Ghostgui.
That was not the end. Another four-legged machine that was only half a meter tall appeared. It looked like a square box with four legs. Suddenly, a thick beam of light shot out from the bottom of the machine and left a circular pit on the rock. It moved at a constant speed and left a neat row of pits on the rock. An automatic pile driver?
What happened next shocked Liao San and Gui Gui who had been watching in the dark.
Strange machines that challenged the limits of their imagination kept appearing. As these strange machines appeared, the training ground became more and more complete. Although the two of them had never seen the training equipment before, they could roughly guess its use.
However, this speed was simply too fast, wasn't it? Glancing at his own timer, it had only been over a f * cking hour. In the eyes of Liao San and Gui Gui, it could be called a supernatural event to complete such a huge training ground in just an hour.
"Damn, these are all good stuff!" Liao San rubbed his hands together as he stared at the strange machines in the field with a fervent look in his eyes. Not to mention the wide light that was emitted by the spider, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for it to kill people? Although they were from the royal guard camp, they had never seen such good stuff!
There were too many good things, and the unknown liquid that was sprayed at the end. With Liao San's powerful Divine Sense, he could clearly feel that the rock in the training ground had been strengthened many times. This thing was of great use to them. Not to mention, just making a bunker and spraying some of this liquid would increase the defense by many times.
"Who is it?" Ye Chong's ears were sharp, but they were a distance away from each other, and he was focused on the machines, so he did not notice the two approaching. Liao San's voice was a little loud this time, and it immediately alerted Ye Chong.
"Hehe, Master Ye, it's us." Liao San did not feel embarrassed at all, and greeted Ye Chong naturally, and walked out. Gui Gui hesitated for a moment, and followed Liao San.
Ye Chong took a look at the two, nodded to them, and went back to his work. The training ground had just been strengthened by the strengthening liquid, and was not finished yet. There was still one more step to go, or the temperature difference between day and night would be enough to crack the hard rock.
The small sprayer floated in the air like a plump silkworm. Ye Chong opened the cap of the sprayer and poured in a light green liquid he had prepared earlier.
"Master Ye, what is this? What does it do? "Liao San asked, leaning closer.
Ye Chong answered, "This is a toughening agent, it can increase the toughness of objects."
"Oh!" Liao San nodded, not really understanding. Increase toughness, this is good stuff, I wonder if it would work on humans?
Ye Chong closed the cap, and the sprayer slowly flew towards the training ground.
Ye Chong spoke to the two, "Let's stand further away!"
Liao San was confused, "What's wrong?"
"It's poisonous!"
The muscles on Liao Sansha's smiling face stiffened, and Gui Gui had already slipped away like a ghost.
