I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second - Chapter 322: Major Rank at 18! Stunned Merit Hall!
Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Major Rank at 18! Stunned Merit Hall!
The few soldiers waiting on the side with playful smiles instantly stood at attention.
Swish!
The next moment, Lin Yi saw this group of people salute him in unison.
“Hello, sir!”
Lin Yi was dumbfounded.
After all, he hasn’t joined the Xia Professional Alliance Army yet.
Now with a group of people standing at attention and saluting him, he didn’t know how to respond.
But this sudden commotion directly caught the attention of other sergeants and officers nearby.
Initially, Lin Yi’s presence was merely a blink of an eye.
Now, seeing a group of veterans saluting him.
Soon, countless people were shocked.
Who is this young handsome guy?
Could he be the son of some high-ranking official?
People are all gossipers.
When these people also gathered around, stretching their necks to see the information on Lin Yi’s ID.
Each of them stood at attention and saluted Lin Yi.
At this moment, the screen clearly displayed Lin Yi’s merit points balance, rank details, and commendation details.
“Name: Lin Yi”
“Age: 18”
“Unit: Not yet enlisted”
“Rank: Major”
“Commendation Record: One first-class merit, one special-class merit”
“Merit Points Balance: 108669!”
This string of brief information.
Contained massive amounts of information!
Instantly, everyone was almost moved to tears!
years old and not even formally enlisted in the military.
Yet already a major!
Some of these officers have served for over a decade, participating in numerous operations and missions.
To just be a captain.
From captain to major, it looks just a step away, but the merit requirements completely block many from further advancement.
But this young man in front, disregarding martial ethics!
At this age, one first-class, one special-class!
This is goddamn the innate marshal sacred body!
As long as he graduates and enlists, his rank promotion speed would be unstoppable.
“Lin Yi… are you the Lin Yi?!”
“Damn! I saw you on TV, this year’s young professional summit champion!”
“Totally obliterated those opponents, made us thrilled watching!”
“The competition is minor, but I’m from the Southwest Military Region. I can only say this gentleman is the core MVP of the whole Border Beast Tide incident!”
“How did he get that special-class merit?”
“Use your toe to think, to earn a special-class merit, it must involve significant national-level disputes, need I remind you what happened recently?”
“Hiss…!”
“Damn?!”
“What’s the noise, what’s the noise! Don’t you all have work to do?!”
Amidst the discussions.
A low commanding voice rang out.
The next moment, the entire Meritorious Service Hall reverted to its previous solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Countless veterans and even officers shrunk their necks.
Then stood at attention, not daring to utter a word.
Lin Yi looked towards the direction of the voice and saw the door of an office deep in the hall open.
A middle-aged man with an aura of dragon-like strength and tiger-like power walked out.
The middle-aged man was wearing the Xia Sword Army’s standard uniform, and the sleeve emblem bore a sword piercing the sky.
His shoulder bore two bars and four stars.
Lin Yi paused.
This colonel seemed somewhat familiar to him as if he had seen him somewhere before.
“Everyone here today, each and every one, go sign the confidentiality death contract for me!”
“Not a word about his matter!”
The colonel swept his gaze over everyone.
“Yes!”
The officers and soldiers were even more shocked inside!
This young man…
Is a bit too extraordinary!
And now they must also sign a confidentiality death contract?!
“We meet again, young brother.”
“Ma Tianyou, Chief of Staff for the Ninth Wing Cavalry Team of the Sharp Sword Army.”
When Ma Tianyou turned to Lin Yi.
His demeanor completely changed.
He extended his hand, very polite.
“Uh, Lin Yi.” Lin Yi shook hands with Ma Tianyou.
“No need for introductions, I know you. We met before in Border. Do you remember?”
Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.
He remembered.
During the previous beast tide crisis, he indeed met this colonel among several Wing Cavalry leaders.
“Hahaha, no blame, no blame, after all, it was just one encounter.”
Speaking thus, Ma Tianyou leaned closer to Lin Yi’s ear and whispered, audible only to Lin Yi: “I heard about rescuing hostages from those two islands of Japan, well done, very good!”
“Really made us proud, and satisfying!”
“That’s how you got the special-class merit.”
“Considering you’re still young, only 18, and haven’t officially joined the Xia Alliance Army, the organization could only confer you the Major rank, hope you understand.”
“How about it, considering joining us?”
“I assure you, with your abilities and achievements thus far, within two or three years, you’ll also be a colonel!”
Lin Yi gave a bitter smile: “Mr. Ma, you don’t need to invite me, soon I will be participating in the Level 30 World Instance of Descent Abyss.”
Lin Yi naturally understood from Cheng Xiao what a world instance was.
Simply put, the scale of the area, the strength of forces, and the stature of top powerhouses within a world-level instance.
It could be said to be the pinnacle of all Descent Abyss instances thus far.
These instances require a team of elite hundred people to enter.
And once successfully cleared, the plane where the instance is located will become a vassal of a certain nation of Blue Star.
Providing a continuous supply of high-level, high-grade equipment and rare materials.
Which is vitally important to the upliftment of the entire nation’s professional community.
Previously, the pioneering for such world-level instances.
Was all carried out by the Xia Sword Army.
If Lin Yi wants to join the pioneering.
Undoubtedly, it’s equivalent to formally enlisting in the Xia Sword Army.
Ma Tianyou’s expression changed.
“Good! Very good!”
“Indeed, indeed! Talents like you should directly join the hardest assault group!”
“Zhao! Whatever Mr. Lin wants to exchange, handle it first thing, got it?”
Ma Tianyou looked at the staff assistant.
The assistant stood at attention and saluted: “Yes, Chief of Staff!”
Ma Tianyou chatted a bit more with Lin Yi, then returned to his tasks.
Lin Yi also mentioned what he wanted to exchange.
Soon, all procedures and processes proceeded smoothly without a hitch.
“Comrade, for your two merits, you also enjoy a 30% discount during reward exchanges. How many days do you wish to exchange?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi’s eyes brightened.
He originally thought only older veterans had such discounts.
Unexpectedly, he also qualified.
It seems that in military organizations, merit indeed carries weight.
Originally, at the regular price, Lin Yi could only exchange for two days in the Antarctic Ice Cave.
Now with the discount.
He could exchange for three days.
“I’ll exchange for three days.”
“Okay.”
Minutes later.
Staff member Zhao respectfully returned Lin Yi’s ID with both hands.
Saluted once more and said: “Comrade, the procedures are complete. Just report at the entrance of this Cultivation Secret Realm at the time, and the guards will let you in upon showing your ID.”
Lin Yi: “Thank you, much appreciated.”
…
Over ten minutes later.
Lin Yi returned to the Teleportation Array of the Imperial Capital.
As one of the largest transportation hubs in Xia, the Teleportation Hall was teeming with people.
Normally, wanting to use the Teleportation Array, you have to wait in line.
But the Teleportation Array to Shenxiao was very special, only Shenxiao students could use it.
Standing on the exclusive Teleportation Array, Lin Yi checked the time on his Spirit Crystal wristwatch.
It’s just afternoon now.
Later, he’ll pass the upgrade assessment first.
Then head to the arena to simply secure the first place.
Finally, head into the Descent Abyss instance tomorrow, and after clearing it, during the three-day cooldown, he’ll take a trip to the Antarctic Ice Cave.
A perfect plan!
