After Ke Er left with Gudao, Lan Xiaobu immediately took out the wooden box. He had obtained this wooden box from Cheng Jianjie, but he had no way to open it. Now that he had his Spiritual Sense, he wanted to try again and see if this wooden box could be opened through his Spiritual Sense.
Lan Xiaobu's Spiritual Sense penetrated into the wooden box and immediately felt the difference. Previously, when his Spiritual Sense penetrated into a storage ring, it was blocked by a layer of greyish stuff. After he refined that layer of greyish stuff, the storage ring completely became his. It was indeed a Space Ring.
At this moment, when his Spiritual Sense penetrated into the wooden box, he felt his Spiritual Sense disappear without a trace.
Lan Xiaobu, on the other hand, was extremely excited. He knew that this wooden box was definitely a treasure. If it were an ordinary object, his Spiritual Sense would have been able to penetrate it and directly see what was inside. Even if it was a stone, he would have been able to see the internal structure of the stone.
However, when his Spiritual Sense penetrated into the wooden box, he could not sense anything, which was the biggest surprise.
Lan Xiaobu repeatedly tried, and even tried to refine it with his Spiritual Sense; however, it was all to no avail. He only knew that this wooden box was a treasure; however, he could not use this treasure for himself.
After continuously trying for a day, Lan Xiaobu decided to put down the wooden box and cultivate the Forging Spiritual Technique to the 2nd Step before trying again.
… …
More than ten days passed by in a flash. Lan Xiaobu had been crazily cultivating the Forging Spiritual Technique, but he was still a little bit away from the 2nd Step. On the other hand, Gudao and Ke Er were getting along well. Although the Exuvium Elemental Potion was good, for a wolf cub, meat was the real treasure.
In just ten days, Gudao had grown a lot taller.
Although there was no progress in the Forging Spiritual Technique, it was time to report. Lan Xiaobu took Gudao and drove his flying saucer and Ke Er to report to the Expeditionary Force.
Lan Xiaobu did not know how many people there were in the Expeditionary Force, but he knew that the number of flying saucers and airships outside the Expeditionary Force's encampment far exceeded that of other places. From afar, one could see that there were all kinds of Battle Discs and Airships …
After the two parked the flying saucer, Gudao was left behind in Kunlun by Lan Xiaobu.
From afar, the two of them could see the big words on the signboard of the Expedition Army. Compared to Planet Zhen Nuo's Expeditionary Force, the Expeditionary Force's reporting hall was even more imposing and luxurious.
"Why are there so many people?" After Lan Xiaobu entered the Great Hall, he was somewhat surprised. There were at least two thousand people in the Great Hall. Fortunately, the hall was really big. More than two thousand people didn't seem crowded at all. Instead, it made the hall seem even more spacious.
Ke Er casually said, "How is this a large number of people? I've heard that at its peak, there are tens of thousands of people entering this hall. Sometimes, when a planet is defeated, hundreds of thousands of people will come here. "
"How strong is the Star Conquering Army? After a period of time, they would take in tens of thousands of people, then ….. "Lan Xiaobu secretly thought. Even if they only took in a few months, they would still be able to take in hundreds of thousands of people in a year.
Ke Er sighed, "The Expeditionary Force's regular soldiers generally have around five million people. Don't look at how many people they take in every year. In fact, only a few ten percent of them would be able to stay."
"Why?" Lan Xiaobu was even more puzzled.
A voice came from the side, "Because after joining the Expeditionary Force, there is a reserve soldier period. During this period, many of the reserve soldiers would be sent out to fight, or to do various tasks. In the end, only half of them would survive. Of these half, some of them would be eliminated, while the rest would choose to retire. Because as long as you join the Expeditionary Force, after you retire, you would have the qualifications to be a permanent resident of Planet Zhen Nuo. Many people join the Planet Zhen Nuo not because they want to join the army, but because they want the qualifications to be a permanent resident. If you join other armies, you would not have such treatment ….. "
It was Ah Xu, who had just walked over and spoke.
"Ah Xu, Qinyue, hello." Lan Xiaobu saw that it was Ah Xu and Qinyue who had come over. Everyone had agreed to meet here.
"Hello, we have been waiting for you for a while, why did you only arrive now? When the time comes, we should discuss how to stay in the same squad. "Ah Xu spoke out in a carefree manner.
Lan Xiaobu asked, "Before, I heard Ke Er say that as long as you hand over the Battle Disc, you can become a citizen of the Planet Zhen Nuo. How come there are still people who choose to join the Expeditionary Force? Moreover, we are new recruits, do we also have to participate in battles or do tasks? "
"Naive, the citizens of the Planet Zhen Nuo are also divided into several classes. Those who come from other planets, do not have any background, they are basically the lower class citizens. The lower class citizens do not have any human rights. If a random person from the Planet Zhen Nuo kills you, then you deserve it, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. Moreover, the lower class citizens have to pay a very high tax, and can only apply for low level slave positions. They are not allowed to participate in any upper class gatherings, nor are they allowed to purchase their own independent property ….. "
As Ah Xu spoke till here, her tone became even more disdainful, "You have applied to join the Planet Zhen Nuo's Expeditionary Force. If you did not apply, then you would have walked out of the Planet Zhen Nuo's Expeditionary Force. At that time, you would know what it means to be unable to move an inch. At that time, other than becoming a slave, the only way for you would be to leave the Planet Zhen Nuo. Now that we are all new recruits, new recruits must either participate in battles or do tasks, no one is an exception. "
Lan Xiaobu remained silent, even the slaves of a fallen country would find it difficult to move an inch, not to mention the slaves of a fallen planet. He looked at Ke Er, but Ke Er apparently did not think much about it. Most likely, he had already applied to join the Expeditionary Force, as he did not seem to care much about Ah Xu's words.
Seeing Lan Xiaobu and Ke Er not speaking, Ah Xu once again spoke up, "Since the four of us have decided to stick together, then we must choose a leader. I choose Qinyue, Qinyue is the princess of the Lanya Star Rota Empire. Even though she has fallen, her status and identity are still there. "
"Qinyue is the princess of the Rota Empire?" Ke Er stared at Qinyue with wide eyes; he was extremely shocked. Even though the Lanya Star was a Grade 1 planet, the Rota Empire's status on the Lanya Star was equivalent to Han Lan Empire's status on the Planet Zhen Nuo.
Lan Xiaobu said faintly, "We are not comparing status, joining the army will result in death."
Lan Xiaobu could not be bothered to say the rest of his words, it was fine as long as everyone understood. Qinyue could be a good friend, but she definitely could not be the leader. If Lan Xiaobu did not know that so many people had died in the Expeditionary Force, he would not have cared. Ah Xu had already said that after joining the Expeditionary Force, one could still lose their life at any time. That was not all, new recruits still had to participate in battles and do tasks. Under such dangerous circumstances, he naturally would not agree to let Qinyue, who clearly did not have any leadership skills, be the leader.
"What do you mean?" Ah Xu jumped up and was about to explode.
Kel woke up from the words' princess of the Rota empire 'and quickly said, "I think it's better for Xiao Bu to lead us. Xiao Bu is strong, and …"
Ke Er hurriedly stopped himself; he almost said that Lan Xiaobu could cheat in the Expeditionary Force's recruitment test.
"Ah Xu, my personality is indeed not suitable to lead everyone. I feel that Big Brother Xiao Bu can be our leader." Qinyue was worried that Ah Xu would say something else, so she hurriedly stood in front of her.
Ah Xu snorted, "Planet Zhen Nuo is a Grade 2 planet, technology is the most important thing here. Qinyue got 70 points in the first round, do the two of you have 50 points? I heard that you only need 40 points to pass the first round. "
She herself got 60 points, which was the lowest score for the Universe Information Gathering and Analysis test. She believed that whether it was Lan Xiaobu or Ke Er, they would at most get 50 points. 70 points was definitely a rare existence. Lan Xiaobu and Ke Er weren't born in the royal family of an empire, so they wouldn't have access to many of the top level knowledge. If they didn't even have access to the top level knowledge, how could they get a high score?
Ke Er chuckled and said proudly, "Sorry, I got 60 points. Xiao Bu got 80 points, aren't you surprised? "
80 points? There was no need to mention Ah Xu, even Qinyue looked at Lan Xiaobu in shock. Many of the questions were beyond the knowledge of Lanya's Planet. If she wasn't from the royal family, she definitely wouldn't be able to get 70 points. 80 points, how could it be as simple as being outstanding?
Without waiting for Qinyue and co. to speak, a broadcast sounded out, "Everyone who has been recruited by the Expeditionary Force, please line up within 15 minutes. You are not allowed to whisper to each other, nor are you allowed to walk around casually."
The people standing in the hall obviously knew the rules. After the announcement was made, the chaotic crowd quickly lined up automatically.
Even though they weren't trained, the 2000 people still quickly lined up in dozens of rows.
A man wearing a black military uniform walked to the front of the line and said loudly, "I am Zhan Tao from the Expeditionary Force's Logistics Department. This time, I am in charge of the Expeditionary Force's new recruits. Now, I would like to invite the soldiers with the orange recruitment token to stand alone in front."
From the thousands of people in the line, people came out one after another. These people all walked to the front.
"If only I had an orange recruitment token, I would be able to pick any soldiers under me." Ke Er looked at the people who walked to the front and said enviously. His recruitment token was white, which was one level lower than orange and was also the lowest level.
Lan Xiaobu took out an orange recruitment token and said, "I also have this. I will go out first, I will come back later."
"Ah … Xiao Bu, you really hid it well." Ke Er looked at Lan Xiaobu in surprise. He didn't think that Lan Xiaobu would actually have an orange recruitment token. As long as one had this token, they would be able to become a 2nd Lieutenant.
Lan Xiaobu patted Ke Er's shoulder and walked out.
Ah Xu's mouth was half open. She waited for Lan Xiaobu to walk away before she said, "You already have an orange recruitment token, why did you talk so much nonsense before."
Ah Xu suspected that Lan Xiaobu did it on purpose. At that time, she said that she needed a leader. As long as Lan Xiaobu took out an orange recruitment token, wouldn't that be enough? But he said nonsense, causing her to argue for half a day.
