Chapter 115 Awarding of Medals, Training Begins Again
Jingle Bell--!
The familiar early morning alarm rang, and Liu Lang, back at the training base, immediately got up, put on his military uniform, and jogged downstairs.
Cao Yuan followed closely behind.
Although they had a four-day break, the discipline and organization that the recruits had developed during the previous six months of training had been ingrained in their muscle memory.
Soon, all the new recruits assembled on the training ground.
However, the atmosphere on the training platform was very serious. Even Lei Yingdian, who had been tacitly appointed as an "instructor," returned to the ranks of the new recruits.
Yuan Gang stood solemnly in the center of the training ground, his once plain military uniform now adorned with over a dozen medals of various styles.
The instructors standing behind him were all wearing medals on their chests, some large and some small.
However, it can be divided into three styles.
After his life energy reached a level that matched the "river" realm, Liu Lang's vision was also greatly enhanced.
Even standing below the stage, Liu Lang could clearly see the design of the badge.
If nothing unexpected happens, these are the three types of medals for the Night's Watch: "Starfire," "Starlight," and "Star."
The "Spark" medal is a light red badge.
The "Starlight" medal is a light blue badge.
The "Star" medal is the most exquisite of the three, a deep blue badge.
Standing on the stage, Yuan Gang removed the medals from his chest one by one and introduced them to the new recruits below.
The "Spark" medal is the easiest to obtain; it can be earned by completing important and mysterious extermination missions or protecting the lives of a large number of people.
The "Starlight" medal is much more difficult to obtain; it requires defeating an extremely high-risk mysterious enemy or quelling a major disaster.
The "Star" Medal is extremely rare, obtainable only by killing "Boundless" level mystics or quelling large-scale events that cause social unrest, and is possessed by less than 1% of the Night Watchers.
The "Starry Sea" Medal is the highest honor of the Night Watchers, and no more than ten people in the entire Great Xia Dynasty possess it. There are no specific standards for obtaining it even among the Night Watchers' higher-ups.
"Do you know why I didn't have you train today, but instead introduced you to the Night's Watch's medals? There was no training this morning."
"This morning, medals were awarded!!!" Yuan Gang's gaze swept over the crowd present, then he continued, "These are medals awarded to some of you."
"Next, I'd like to announce the first person to receive the medal... Ray Movie!"
"During the missile attack, they detected and destroyed several missiles in advance, saving fifty new recruits and minimizing the missile's impact on the training base. Later, they eliminated the Scorpion Squad in Cangnan City and finally assisted members of Squad 136 in killing Han Shaoyun, the thirteenth seat of the [Believer]..."
Hereby, the 'Star' Medal is awarded!
Lei Yingdong calmly went on stage, walked to Yuan Gang's side, took the medal and put it on, and then stood in the same position he had stood when he was an "instructor".
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted as the new recruits present applauded Lei Yingdian for receiving the "Star" medal.
Lei's performance since entering the training camp was evident to all the new recruits, so this result was not unexpected.
"Next up is the second one, Liu Lang."
Liu Lang?
All the new recruits turned their attention away from Lei Yingdian and onto Liu Lang.
Lei's film skills are well-known, after all, he's the "instructor," but what about Liu Lang? What did he do?
They were just a group of new recruits who hadn't even left the training camp yet. They understood why Lei Yingdong received a medal... but how did Liu Lang get one?
Under the intense gazes of the crowd, Liu Lang slowly walked onto the martial arts stage and took the medal from Yuan Gang's hand.
"Liu Lang and Lei Yingdian discovered the missile attack simultaneously, preventing the Night Watch's forces from being wiped out. Together with Lei Yingdian, they killed the Scorpion Squad... He single-handedly killed Lü Liang, the 16th seat of the [Believer], and then together they killed Medusa's agent [Snake Woman] in the 'Chuan' realm... (ps: in the original work it was the 'Chi' realm.)"
Hereby, the 'Star' Medal is awarded.
"Next up is the third one... Lin Qiye."
"Lin Qiye killed the escapee from the fasting monastery and, together with Liu Lang, killed Medusa's agent [Snake Woman] in the 'Chuan' realm... He is awarded the 'Star Radiance' Medal."
"Then, the fourth one... Cao Yuan."
"Cao Yuan, for delaying the 'Sea' Realm experts and preventing the destruction of Cangnan City... Awarded the 'Star Radiance' Medal."
"Holy crap, that's awesome... It seems like I'm the only one in our two dorms who doesn't have a badge yet?"
Baili Pangpang looked at the medals that Cao Yuan, Liu Lang, and Lin Qiye wore on their chests, and went over to examine them one by one. "Liu Lang's medals are the best looking."
Lin Qiye: "Do you even need to tell me? This is the 'Starry Sky' medal, which is second only to the 'Starry Sea' medal... Compared to the 'Starry Radiance' medal, the 'Starry Sky' medal is definitely much prettier!"
"Hahaha~"
"Look, the three of you each have one... but I don't. Are you trying to isolate me?" Baili Pangpang said jokingly.
Cao Yuan looked at Baili Pangpang with a serious expression, thought for a moment, and said, "If you want, next time we encounter an enemy... I'll let you be the first one to go."
"No, Lao Cao, don't be so polite." Baili Pangpang shook his head quickly. "If we really encountered them, with all my forbidden items... I'm afraid they would break [Yao Guang] before I could even use them."
I just shut up on the spot... I see you really enjoy chopping, so from now on, you can have it all... I'll just be responsible for providing logistical support.
"See how well you enjoyed using [Little White Slash] this time?"
"You see, if I'm the first one to go, it's not going to buy time, it's going to my death, right? If I die, who will supply you with weapons? Who will distract the enemy? You agree, don't you think?"
"Then what are you yelling about over there?" Cao Yuan looked at Baili Pangpang with disdain upon hearing his cowardly remarks.
"What do you mean by 'knowing what'?! I'm just biding my time, I'm just making sure I can fight another day! If we hadn't come back and bought you some time... you probably wouldn't have even waited for Chief Instructor Yuan Gang to arrive before that man beat you to death!" After saying that, Baili Pangpang turned and walked towards the cafeteria.
Lin Qiye looked at Baili Pangpang, who was about to walk away, with a wry smile, and said to the people next to him, "Let's go too, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."
Seeing this, Lei Yingdian, Molly, Liu Lang, and Cao Yuan followed.
Have a meal!
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
However, one thing is worth mentioning: along with the increase in Liu Lang's life energy...
His appetite also increased as his life energy improved and he gradually broke free from the influence of Lin Qiye's [Mortal Divine Realm] divine power.
Liu Lang asked Naxida about this, and Naxida said it was a normal phenomenon.
Because the life energy is constantly competing with Lin Qiye's [Mortal Divine Realm] for the source of power to sustain life within his body, it is constantly being depleted.
This phenomenon is not very obvious when the cultivation level is low, but it becomes more pronounced as the cultivation level increases... and the competition with the [Mortal Divine Realm] intensifies.
The energy he needs to consume will increase, and this phenomenon will only disappear when Liu Lang is able to completely break free from the influence of the [Mortal Divine Realm].
Not only will it disappear, but it will also allow Liu Lang to achieve the effects of a fasting pill... meaning he won't need to eat at all.
But that's not possible right now...
These past few days, fearing he would bankrupt the already impoverished 136th Squad, he has only eaten until he is half full.
Although he had his own food, nothing beats getting something for free.
As a result, the cafeteria food suffered... and the workload of the cafeteria staff increased significantly.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as the old man's salary has increased significantly as a result.
The old man got a higher wage, while Liu Lang got more food for free...
This is a win-win situation!
-------------------------------------
From now on, they will face more than just physical training.
Training programs are springing up like mushrooms after rain...
In addition to the normal use of forbidden ruins, a series of learning programs have also emerged, including tactical guidance, combat practice, mythological prototypes, and analysis of extremely high-risk mysteries.
Most importantly, 80 percent of these projects are theoretical.
To put it figuratively, it's like they transformed from a group of energetic sports students into a group of refined military academy students.
After all, most of these theoretical projects are conducted in indoor classrooms...
Compared to the physical training that used to require constant negative training, this is heaven!!!
Of course, people like Shen Qingzhu are an exception.
He was extremely skilled at getting Shen Qingzhu to become a triad boss...
But when it comes to learning... those who know, know.
After all... who among those who excels academically would actually succeed in the underworld? That doesn't fit the stereotype!
