In fact, in a certain sense, life in the spiritual plane is more cruel. If you have the strength, it's okay. If you don't have the capital of strength, you can only be like a kicked-out refugee, not even willing to serve as a soldier.
Qin Shou lined up very honestly, and he looked pretty good among the team members.
After queuing for nearly an hour, "Okay, ten of you, go in, the others will wait." A sturdy sergeant grabbed a whip and pulled out ten people, including Qin Shou, and entered the gate of the recruitment center.
Ten people lined up in a line, and a few soldiers casually scanned the ten people and pulled out two people. They walked past Qin Shou and looked up and down, as if he thought Qin Shou was not bad, "Young man, you are dressed well."
Not bad, why did you come to be a soldier?"
"Hey, what's wrong, sir? We only have enough food and clothing at home. I just eat in the military camp and exercise myself." Qin Shou bowed and said with a simple and honest smile.
"Well, not bad." Several sergeants in charge of the screening nodded. The army needs honest people like Qin Shou who are easy to manage and go wherever they are told.
"Young man, don't worry. If you pass the examination, your job will definitely be indispensable in the military camp. Work hard and serve the country. The empire will not treat you badly." Several people poured themselves a meal of chicken soup for the soul, and then asked Qin Shou
He was pulled out from the team. Among the four he pulled out in total, they were all not too thin, and they were well dressed by themselves, while the others, Zhen Zhen, were all blasted out.
"Let's go, come with me." At this time, a veteran with a scar on his face led the four people who had initially passed the screening to the courtyard of the recruitment center.
There were several tables and chairs in the middle of the courtyard, and three officers wearing fine armor and cowhide boots were sitting there. Each of them had a serious expression and felt a fierce aura. These three people were all masters who had experienced many battles.
Each one has 8 combat points.
8 points of combat power is already very strong among humans.
The four people were left alone, and they had to wait until ten people were gathered before they could continue to take part in the assessment. Qin Shou took advantage of this time to look at the people who were currently participating in the last assessment conducted by an officer.
The task of the assessment is to walk 200 meters around the yard with a weight of 30 kilograms, plus 50 push-ups and 200 sit-ups.
This task is simply impossible for thin and incompetent humans. Are you kidding me? They don’t even weigh 60 kilograms. How can they lift a 30 kilogram hammer? Moreover, there are 50 push-ups and 200 sit-ups.
Sitting is time-limited and must be completed consecutively.
Qin Shou estimated that it would be difficult to complete 1 point of combat power, but 2 points would be about the same.
Sure enough, among the ten guys in front who all had 1 point of combat power, only one man who looked a little stronger completed the test, but he also lay on the ground tired.
The three officers were very serious throughout the whole process, saying nothing, and even looked slightly impatient. They were also very dissatisfied with the guy selected by the soldiers.
This is not to blame the soldiers. It can only be said that most of the people who are willing to become soldiers are guys who don't have enough to eat. Few of them join because they are passionate and want to serve the country. After all, during the current war, the soldier sacrifice rate is
Very high.
Finally, there were ten people in his group, and he was squeezed into the first position. Qin Shou sighed helplessly in his heart, wouldn't it be the same sooner or later? Those who can get through will naturally get through, and if they can't get through, they will have to use all their strength.
I can't get through it either.
The three officers scanned Qin Shou's group one by one, and they had already made a judgment in their minds.
"He can pass, it's just a small thing for him."
"Well, look at his calmness, he's not just pretending."
"Don't grab it, you all. According to our rules, everyone comes in turns. This guy is my soldier."
The three officers secretly exchanged glances, which were clearly heard by Qin Shou here. He also had an estimate in his mind. There was no need to show his strength now, it was almost enough.
"Alright, let's get started." The bearded officer on the far right waved to Qin Shou and smiled at Qin Shou. After so long, he finally found a good prospect.
The officers had all spoken, so Qin Shou naturally obeyed the order. He took a deep breath, moved his body, picked up the 30 kilogram hammer, and walked 200 meters around the yard step by step. Panting slightly, he arrived again immediately.
At the next assessment site, I immediately completed 50 push-ups and 200 sit-ups in a row.
After the assessment was completed, Qin Shou had hot sweat on his head and his body was soaked. He stood panting.
"Congratulations, you have now passed the assessment and become a soldier." After the assessment was completed, the soldier next to him immediately gave him a piece of bread and a bowl of water. Qin Shou took it with trembling palms and thanked him.
Then he ate some black bread.
Ten minutes later, Qin Shou's group completed the assessment. Except for Qin Shou, only two of the ten people barely finished the test. They could not even say they were tired.
"Take them down to register. Remember, these new recruits are under my command." The bearded officer pointed at Qin Shou and said to the sergeant beside him.
"Understood, sir." The soldier saluted, and then led Qin and Shou to a large room, where many recruits who had passed the examination were registering.
However, Qin Shou discovered that only a very small number of people received bread and water, and those who received them were all warriors with 2 points of combat effectiveness. This could be regarded as a reward for those with excellent results.
After sitting down on the bench, there were soldiers standing, and the recruits did not dare to talk casually.
When it was Qin Shou's turn, he said, "Sir, my name is Aum, from Monti Village." He said respectfully to the registered soldiers.
In fact, this registration is just to record your name. As for how old you are and where you come from, the military doesn't care.
"Okay, let's go quickly. Hurry up for the next one." After writing down Qin Shou's name, the registration sergeant urged him to drive Qin Shou away, and it was the next person's turn.
After returning to the bench and sitting for a long time, the recruitment office finally completed today's assessment task. A total of 78 people passed the assessment today, which is a pitifully small number.
8 out of 78 people have 1 point of combat effectiveness, less than 20 people have 2 points of combat effectiveness, and none of them have 3 points of combat effectiveness. The higher the combat effectiveness, the harder it is to improve. If you don’t have a brain system, you will be a 2 in this life.
Clicked.
The soldier led the new recruits to the equipment warehouse and each of them wore a well-fitting military uniform. In fact, the so-called military uniform was just two old green tops and bottoms, which did not provide any protection.
However, the soldiers were given to Qin Shou and the recruits who performed well in the assessment, that is, with 2 points of combat effectiveness, were directly promoted to military ranks.
"Military rank?" Qin Shou curiously took over two long iron pieces without any markings on them.
"You are now the official private soldiers of the empire. As long as you pass the recruit training, you can continue to be promoted to the first class of the empire and receive monthly military pay from the empire." The sergeant shouted to the dozen or so people who had received the military rank.
Other recruits can only be given the rank of private after passing training, and they only have food and shelter, but no military pay.
This made the other recruits envious, and the dozen or so people who had military ranks on their collar badges couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority.
Qin Shou also smashed his mouth, it was really interesting.
Soon after, the soldier introduced the training officer to this batch of recruits. He was a superior soldier. His collar badge had four white stripes. He was also the highest-ranking soldier among the dozen or so soldiers.
"Hey, there are quite a lot of recruits today, there are seventeen privates." The first-class soldier wearing the official armor of the empire scanned the recruits one by one. The recruits he stared at couldn't help but tremble with coldness.
"Senior soldier, 5 points of combat strength?" Qin Shou also murmured secretly. He was almost like a swordsman and a relatively strong warrior. However, when Qin Shou was swept by him, he quickly pretended to be afraid and his face turned pale.
"Recruit cake, everyone calls me Lao Fei. Of course you can also call me that, but if you can survive my punch..." This somewhat fat upper class soldier sneered at the 78 recruits.
Said, Dou measured his fist and made a clicking sound, which frightened the recruits even more.
"Okay, Brother Fei, don't scare the new recruits." The sergeants all laughed loudly when they saw the new recruits trembling.
"Okay, I get it. Don't you just want to finish your work as soon as possible? You guys can take a day off, but I'm so miserable." Lao Fei sighed deliberately, and then looked at the soldier with narrowed eyes. After a few seconds,
Everyone laughed obscenely.
You don't need to think about it to know what they are communicating at home. These soldiers in charge of recruiting can have a day off tomorrow, but tonight...
Ahem, Lao Fei coughed, and drove the recruits out of the recruitment center like pigs, to the military camp built on the edge of the city wall in Gray City.
Passing through the gate where the soldiers are stationed, one can see the divided tents. Most of the military camps are large black tents that can sleep 50 people. There are also a few white circular tents, which only have military ranks.
Only taller soldiers are eligible to live there. In the center of the military camp, there are luxurious buildings. If you think about it, you can tell that this is where officers live.
Lao Fei led the recruits to two dirty black tents that had been divided in advance. On one side was a very clean white dome-shaped tent. Four soldiers were already standing outside the big tent.
.They are formal soldiers responsible for training new recruits, and they are all first-class soldiers.
Then Lao Fei explained the rules and regulations in the military camp to the new recruits. If they broke the rules, Lao Fei could kill them directly.
After that, the recruits separated the 78 people and each received a set of quilts and pillows. Qin Shou's dozen private soldiers received clean cotton quilts, while the recruits received shabby quilts that could not even cover their bodies, and the pillows were all linen.
The rope is woven.
The hierarchy in the military camp is very strict, and the treatment is also different. It is obvious that the first-class soldiers are quite friendly towards Qin Shou and the dozen private soldiers, while the new recruits who do not even have military ranks drink and scold them like slaves.
past.
"Hey, privates, if you have family members, you can go home for one night and have a good sleep tomorrow. Just come before noon. Anyone else..." Lao Fei chuckled at the privates, while the others
The eager soldier was glared at and yelled at to go train immediately.
Lao Fei's move made Private Fei feel a sense of superiority. For a moment, he felt that being a soldier was not bad, so he saluted Lao Fei and went back. If he didn't have any, he could rest for one night today and train again tomorrow afternoon.
Qin Shou respectfully treated Lao Fei with military force, and then was escorted out of the military camp by sergeants and rushed back to Duozan Poyuan...
