Shen Qian spent a few peaceful and leisurely days.
Originally, Junwu had entered semi-military control mode, but because his position had changed, Shen Qian was still waiting for a formal appointment from Junwu.
Other students are much worse off.
The original five-day course per week was compressed into three days, and the remaining two days were spent in the military camp.
Even weekends are not free. On Saturdays, you have to receive special training from school instructors, and on Sundays, you have to seize the time to go to the library, simulators and secret realms to make up for the lagging progress.
Fortunately, Geng Qianqiu and others don't have much time to harass Shen Qian.
This relaxed Shen Qian's recently tense nerves a lot.
The progress of "Arhat's Golden Body" is neither fast nor slow. Unfortunately, Shen Qian does not dare to waste the system's energy for the time being. According to the current progress, he should be able to complete the first level of practice before the Nine-Heaven Hegemony begins.
What really gives Shen Qian a headache is basic training.
He suddenly discovered that after losing the assistance of the exercises, his cultivation speed became extremely slow.
Although this slowness is only relative, compared to normal warriors, he is still at the upper-middle level.
But having become accustomed to the high-speed rail, Shen Qian was naturally a little bit unable to accept the sudden return to the green train.
He took the time to go to the library and tried many cultivation methods, but he always felt awkward.
Shen Qian, who had no other solution for the time being, could only make do with it.
In addition, Shen Qian also visited the Jiangzhou Spiritual Energy Market in the past few days. He found the ancient master who refined the Shanhe Knife for him.
Ran Feng, the lover of master alchemist Gu Yunlan, died before, leaving only part of her spiritual core. Shen Qian once promised to help her obtain a fortune elixir. After the elixir was officially released, the elixir was delivered to Shen Qian as soon as possible. In hand.
Shen came here, firstly, to settle the matter, and secondly, he wanted to ask Gu Yunlan to help him realize an idea he had long ago.
Seeing that Shen Qian had not broken his promise, Gu Yunlan was naturally grateful and happily agreed to Shen Qian's request.
And promised that the things would be delivered to Shen Qian before the end of the month.
The third thing Shen Qian did during his free time in the past few days was to transfer the two billion yuan that Liu Changqing sent him, that is, Wudingqiao's "spoils", to Yuan You in Jiangzhou.
It has to be said that there are specialties in the art industry. Ever since Yuan You helped Shen Qian take care of his property, Shen Qian had a feeling that he would never run out of money.
I can only watch as the assets on my books grow more and more.
Today, Shen Qian's personal assets have exceeded 5 billion.
Part of the reason for this comes from the fact that Shen Qian refined the ambergris that he had previously received as a reward from the "Prisoner's Tears" mission into three evergreen pills that can increase lifespan by a certain amount, and successfully sold them.
The nearly perfect quality Evergreen Pills were sold out on the day they were released at the Jiangzhou auction, with the total price of three pills reaching 530 million.
And Yuan You, after staying with Shen Qian for two days and two nights, finally left Jiangzhou with a happy face and a staggering step, which finally solved Shen Qian's worries.
Shen Qian felt that there was some element of "fear" in it.
With his current physical ability, he can be a real beast at certain moments, and most women really can't stand it.
At least Yuan You was stimulated by the success, and was determined to retreat and break through to become a high-level warrior before coming to Shen Qian for a showdown.
Ding dong!
Shen Qian, who was bathing in the skylight and practicing "Arhat's Golden Body" on the balcony, was awakened by the sound of the doorbell. The faint golden light on his body disappeared. He casually took a towel nearby to wipe his sweat and went downstairs.
Opening the doorbell, there were two people standing at the door. One was Li Le, the assistant teacher of Class 1 whom he had not seen for a long time, and the other was a strange military warrior with a serious face.
The military rank hanging on his shoulder showed that the other party was a captain.
Judging from the age of the other party, he is only about 20 years old. Judging from his temperament, he has a real military background. At such a young age, he is a captain and can be regarded as a genius.
"Hello Shen Qian, please come to the school auditorium. The military department will officially confer you a title!"
After the captain's warrior stood at attention and saluted, he said in a deep voice.
Is it finally here...
Shen Qian also looked solemn, and then followed Li Le and the young officer to the school's small auditorium.
……
Jiangzhong Junwu, small auditorium.
The news of people from the military entering the campus was not small, and they did not deliberately keep it secret. Therefore, in just a moment, the news that Shen Qian was about to be awarded a title spread throughout most of the campus.
Just like the bustle of the past few days, in just ten minutes, a sea of people gathered outside the small auditorium.
Many instructors and professors also came to join in the fun.
There is no ban on viewing the ceremony in the small auditorium, but it is obviously impossible for ordinary students to enter.
Shen Qian followed the captain officer through the crowd and felt a little emotional when he entered the small auditorium.
The same place, but two completely different moods.
In the small auditorium, no one was sitting. Whether it was the military personnel who were conferring titles or the military teachers and students watching the ceremony, they all stood solemnly under the two flags.
Facing Shen Qian in the middle of the aisle is an old man in military uniform with a slightly gray hair.
"Major General!"
Shen Qian couldn't help but trembled when he saw the opponent's military rank.
He never expected that the person conducting the investiture ceremony for him would be a general.
Yu Shou is no longer a lieutenant colonel and is already a strong man in the mountains and seas. It can be foreseen that the old man in front of him is probably a first-class strong man even in the mountains and seas.
On both sides stood military warriors holding ceremonial guards. Judging from the formation alone, this did not look like an enlistment ceremony for new recruits.
This is one of the reasons why there has been a stir again on campus.
"Classmate Shen Qian, I am Duan Zhengzhi, director of the Military Recruit Management Department. I will preside over your enlistment ceremony today."
When Shen Qian approached, the old man gave a military salute and said.
Shen Qian also saluted solemnly and stood solemnly.
"But before we officially start, I want to ask you something off-topic." Duan Zhengzhi said slowly.
"Director Duan, please speak." Shen Qian was startled.
"Classmate Shen Qian, in your eyes, what is the difference between a warrior and a military warrior?"
Duan Zhengzhi looked directly into Shen Qian's eyes.
Shen Qian had never really thought about this issue before, and he fell into silence.
Duan Zhengzhi did not urge Shen Qian, but waited quietly.
Shen Qian closed his eyes, and his thoughts returned to the original Buya Valley. He thought of those warriors who never took a step back under the zombie army composed of scavengers.
He also thought of that familiar face.
Although nearly a hundred years have passed, Shen Qian still remembers his smile when he occasionally returns to his dreams at midnight.
He thought again of the funeral he saw on the streets of Jingcheng that day and the conversation between the mother and son.
In fact, Shen Qian had always retained these memories, but at this moment, he remembered many details for no reason.
For example, he remembered that Brother Song said that on the old street called Dongmen in Jingcheng, there was a firewood turkey restaurant that was absolutely amazing, and they also brewed delicious and intoxicating bayberry wine.
The two even met for a get-together.
He recalled some of the jokes the warriors made while marching in the snow.
They will also talk about where the best flower wine is, complain about insufficient wages, and want to be lazy and cheat...
But at that moment, when danger came, under the influence of the military glory that had been engraved in their bones, no matter whether they were active or passive.
They were determined.
Perhaps at that time, they had forgotten that they were also afraid of pain and death.
Shen Qian suddenly felt that he was actually very similar to them.
He is also an ordinary person.
He has too many shortcomings, but he also has his own principles and bottom lines. He is often contradictory, but he will not get carried away when he should be sober.
"Compared to warriors, military warriors may... have a little more courage."
Shen Qian wanted to say a thousand words, but in the end, when he raised his head, he only said one sentence lightly.
There were many surprised looks in the church, Duan Zhengzhi was stunned for a moment, and then he and Shen Qian looked at each other.
After a while, the old man seemed to understand something. A smile appeared on his face and he sighed: "Yes, isn't it just that I have a little more courage?"
At that moment, Duan Zhengzhi's eyes seemed to be changing, but he didn't know what he saw.
"The yellow sand will wear golden armor in a hundred battles. If you don't break Loulan, you will never return it!" Duan Zhengzhi said slowly, "If you don't have courage, why are you an army?"
Soon, Duan Zhengzhi corrected his posture and said in a deep voice: "Jiangzhong Junwu, step forward!"
"Arrived!" Shen Qian straightened his back subconsciously.
"By order of the military department, today you are officially awarded the rank of major, commanding the ninth company of the Lushu Battalion of Jiangzhong Army, and the position is... commander of thousands!"
Duan Zhengzhi's sonorous and powerful voice penetrated the small auditorium and echoed above the entire Jiangzhong Military and Military Campus.
After a period of silence, there was a great commotion inside and outside the small auditorium.
It's okay in the auditorium. After all, they are all experienced people. Although they are a little surprised, they will not show it at this time.
But the students outside the auditorium are different.
They used noisy discussions and exclamations to unabashedly express their inner shock.
Shen Qian was directly awarded the rank of Major!
You must know that obtaining military ranks is not the same as ordinary ones. It requires actual accumulation of military exploits and honors.
Shen Qian, an eighteen-year-old freshman, He Dehe, was able to directly skip the second lieutenant, lieutenant and captain, and was awarded the rank of major on the day he officially enlisted in the army?
This is to directly skip the bottom layer and become a middle-level officer.
"Eighteen-year-old Major, am I crazy or are they crazy..."
Such thoughts linger in the minds of many people.
It doesn't matter if he is just a major. After all, military rank does not equal real power, but... Shen Qian was actually awarded the position of captain of thousands at the same time.
What does this mean?
This means that Shen Qian's rank of major is not illusory, but a real officer with real power who can command thousands of people.
Outrageous.
Too outrageous.
But it was obvious that Duan Zhengzhi would not explain anything to everyone. After handing over the certificate of appointment and military rank badges of the general warrior to Shen Qian, he quickly left with his subordinates without any delay.
Shen Qian stood there and could vaguely hear various sounds. He was both surprised and not surprised.
It's not surprising because he has now been "promoted to the mountains and seas", and in terms of strength, only a school-level military rank can match him.
The surprise was because he didn't expect that the military would actually give it to him.
He had originally thought that he might be given a false position first, or let him perform his duties with the rank of captain for a period of time to spend the gap period.
But obviously the military is either too lazy to play with these bells and whistles, or it truly recognizes him from the bottom of its heart, or it doesn't care about the rumors from the outside world at all.
Shen Qian could even imagine the uproar this matter would cause once it spread to the outside world.
But he's used to it.
While Shen Qian's thoughts were swirling, the young captain officer who had led Shen Qian over before had already strode over, and then stood in front of Shen Qian with a "pop" sound.
"Sir, Shang Zuo, the new adjutant of the Ninth Company of the Lushu Battalion of the Jiangzhong Army, is reporting to you!"
The young officer said loudly.
Shen Qian was startled. He didn't expect that this young officer would turn out to be his future deputy.
After returning the gift, he quickly asked the other party about the situation.
"Going to the military camp today?"
Shen Qian frowned.
"Yes, according to the requirements of the appointment order, you need to report to Lushu Camp today." Shang Zuo replied.
"Okay, I'll go back and change clothes."
Shen Qian thought for a moment and then nodded.
……
Half an hour later, Shen Qian and Shang Zuo got on the military warrior's special car, left Jiangzhong Military Military, and headed for the Lushu camp.
At this time, Shen Qian had already put on a brand new military uniform brought by Shang Zuo.
Perhaps because of his level, Shen Qian had eight sets of military uniforms of different styles and seasons, each of which was a bit handsome. Shen Qian struggled for a long time before getting dressed.
"The Lushu Battalion is currently commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Yu Shousi. There are ten companies in the battalion, with a total strength of 18,723 people. Our ninth company has a full strength of 3,000 people, and currently has a total of 718 people. People."
"In addition, the Ninth Company still has two vacancies for adjutants, four centurions, and thirteen captains of ten. We need you, sir, to fill them as soon as possible..."
While in the car, Shen Qian originally wanted to help Monk Zolala do some household chores and get to know him better. After all, he would probably be his most important assistant in the future.
Who would have thought that Shang Zuo didn't seem to realize this at all, he was just reporting on his work.
Shen Qian could only give up, suppress his racing thoughts, and began to understand the situation seriously.
The good news is that Lushu Camp is Yu Shousi's territory, and Shen Qian ranks as a centurion, and Yu Shousi is equivalent to his immediate superior and the only superior in Lushu Camp.
From a certain point of view, Shen Qian does not need to be too restrained in Lushu Camp.
But the bad news was also obvious. Just hearing about the staffing situation of Jiulian Company made Shen Qian feel that something was wrong.
The normal establishment of a company will be at least a thousand people. Even if it is not full, it usually has about two thousand people to be considered normal.
But the ninth company he commanded actually had less than 800 people.
Although we don’t know the inside story yet, we can detect the anomaly just from the numbers on paper.
And even among the current staff, there are still so many vacancies.
It's a pity that Shang Zuo was also transferred to the Lushu Camp today, and he also knows nothing except what is recorded in the documents.
"I knew it would be impossible for this captain to be an easy man. This must not be a mess..."
Looking at the looming tents in the distance, Shen Qian suddenly had a bad premonition.
