“But I suggest you don’t go and be an unusual populace, it would be better to wander into the stars again, because at that time you will be so humble that you will feel lucky to be alive.”Kerr was even more talkative, and from the time he was with Blue Boo, his mouth never stopped.
Lan Xiaobu followed the chatty Kerr for nearly forty to fifty minutes before he came to the periphery of a huge circular building.
A signboard was erected outside the circular building, Zeno Star Military Recruitment Office.
Kerr lowered his voice and said in Lan Xiaobu’s ear, “In a moment, we’ll go in and eat first, and after eating we’ll find out which armies are recruiting here. Remember, our first choice is the Star Recruitment Army, and we’re only free if we join the Star Recruitment Army. Of course if the Levitate Star Army can’t get in, we’ll check out other armies.”
“Good.”Lan Xiaobu didn’t know anything about the rules here, he could only follow behind Kerr.
The two entered the gate, a hall that was at least four to five hundred square feet. There wasn’t a single load-bearing pillar in the middle of such a large hall. Thinking that this building was at least forty to fifty metres high, Lan Xiaobu secretly sighed in his heart that compared to Earth, the level of construction on a planet with a second-tier technological civilisation was indeed impressive.
Even though the hall was not small, there were just as many people in this. Some were gorgeously dressed, but more of them were just like them, dusty. However, there weren’t many people like Blue Boo, barefoot and in rags.
“Are these all from our Blue Asia Star?”Lan Xiaobu asked suspiciously.
There were so many people escaping from Blue Asia Star, so there should be quite a few flying discs coming over, right?
Kerr lowered his voice and said, “Only a very small number of them are from Blue Asia Planet, and some of them are from other low-level planets. Some of them escaped, and some of them are soldiers who were routed after their planets were enslaved, just like us. There is also a portion that is from True Nova proper.”
“There are also people from the True Promise Planet’s native land who have come to enlist?”Lan Xiaobu was a little puzzled.
Kerr hemmed and hawed, “Of course, the soldiers who are conscripted here are basically required to participate in the interplanetary war. This is different from the wars between empires, where the empire conscripts are all within their own country. Only this place, not only can it recruit soldiers from the entire planet, it can also recruit soldiers from outside planets that come to join, such as us.”
“And what about once another planet invades? Every country sends soldiers to fight?”Lan Xiaobu asked.
He already somewhat understood that Zeno Planet was actually similar to Earth, with many countries. Each country had its own army, and these countries would also go to war with each other.
Kerr explained, “True Nuo Star has a Hanlan Empire, and the rest of the countries are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Hanlan Empire. Once there is an alien invasion, the Han Lan Empire will issue an order to save the star, and every country that survives on the True Promise Planet will have to put out all their forces to resist.”
Lan Xiaobu didn’t ask what would happen once he didn’t contribute, since there was this rule, it was expected that every country would go all out. Any country that didn’t go all out should not even exist anymore.
“I saw the recruiting office of the Star Recruiting Army, let’s hurry and go eat first, and after we eat, we’ll go over to take a look at ……” Kerr said here seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Blue Xiaobu suspiciously asking, “Xiao Bu, how come you don’tknow this common sense?”
The things that Lan Xiaobu inquired about just now are the most basic common sense, Lan Xiaobu should know ah.
Lan Xiaobu laughed, “Not long after I joined the Peacekeeping Army, that Fei Pu Star attacked our Blue Asia Star, so there are a lot of things I’m not particularly aware of.”
“Oh ……” Kerr let out an oh, apparently not thinking deeply, or maybe the smell of the canteen’s food was more important to him.
Everyone who could come here got a free meal. Blue Boo and Kerr left their handprints in the induction area, and then each received a plate.
It was just like a buffet, with dishes and rice to eat at your leisure.
There was no rice in sight, and the staple food was something like white flour. But the dishes were very rich. All kinds of vegetables and all kinds of meat.
Although there were always raw gui elemental potions, it was always a bit more solid to have a mouthful of hot rice. Lan Xiaobu knew the importance of supplementing vegetables, and he got a little bit of everything all the same. Kerr was different, he didn’t ask for any staple food at all, all of them were large pieces of meat.
After finishing the meal, Kerr let out a breath of satisfaction, ”Alas, it would be good if I could join the Star Conquering Army, legend has it that the Star Conquering Army’s food is really good, several times better than this. The place to live is also good, everyone has a luxury manor ……”
Lan Xiaobu thought it was average, the technological civilisation here might exceed Earth by a few levels, but the food taste was really average. As for the Kerr said that the army of star recruitment everyone lives in a luxury manor, Lan Xiaobu heart laughs, this child is talking in his sleep. After joining the army must be living in the collective barracks dormitory, luxury manor? That’s where generals live, right?
“Dirtbags, the food of the Star Conquering Army is not only several times better than here? That’s not even on the same level, there’s no way to compare it, okay. But I’ll give you guys a word of advice, don’t go to the Levy Star Army to waste your time. With your looks, it’s unlikely that you’ll want to join the Star Conquering Army.”A slightly hoarse voice beside him said with a heckle.
Lan Xiaobu didn’t need to turn his head, he already knew that the one who said them was a woman in red, who looked young. However, she was dressed in fine clothes and had a bow on her back, a tough look, even her voice carried personality. Beside this woman in red was a woman in green, who looked much gentler, and her appearance was also very clean.
“Ah Su, don’t say that.”The woman in green hurriedly whispered a persuasive sentence, and after persuading, she looked apologetically at Keer and Lan Xiaobu and said, “I’m sorry, Ah Suo is straight, and doesn’t actually have a bad heart.”
Kerr laughed nervously, “It’s fine, we also know that the chance is very slim, we just want to take our chances. By the way, do you guys also want to go to the Star Conquering Army?”
The green-clothed woman smiled faintly, “Yes, we just participated in the Star Conquest Army examination.”
“Successful?”Kerr asked eagerly.
This time, without waiting for the green-clothed woman to speak, the red-clothed woman said proudly, “That’s natural, when we finish eating, we will leave here and wait for a few days to go to the Star Recruitment Army to go through the procedures of joining the army.”
“You all have already succeeded, why do you think we won’t?”Lan Xiaobu couldn’t help but ask.
These two women in front of him also looked extremely average ah, Lan Xiaobu had cultivated to the peak of the Passing Vein, just one step away from crossing over to the innate, he could naturally see that these two women’s blood qi was not very strong. The blood qi is not strong, then it can only mean that the strength of these two people can only be considered average.
Average strength were recruited by the Star Recruitment Army, so why did he and Kerr fall through the ranks?
The green-clothed woman lowered her head to eat and did not speak again.
“We’re from the Blue Asia Star, what about you guys?”Kerr clearly didn’t care about the other party’s attitude and continued to ask.
“You guys are also from the Blue Asia Star?”The woman in red asked out in surprise, her tone obviously much better.
The woman in green also looked up at Blue Boo and Kerr in surprise, then said as softly as she could, “We enrolled in the Star Recruitment Army’s Cosmic Message Collection and Analysis, which requires a little less strength but a little more tech scores. We’ve always liked the tech side of things, so we got away with it.”
“We’re both in the Battle Disc Army, so naturally we’re reporting for the Battle Disc Army.”Kerr said with a big grin.
The green-clothed woman hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Good luck to you guys then.”
“Go.”From the other party’s tone and gaze, Lan Xiaobu had already guessed that it should be somewhat difficult to enter the Battle Disc Department of the Star Levying Army.
There were the most people enrolled here in the Levy Star Army, but the ones eliminated were also the fastest. Each reference was twenty people, and basically only one in twenty would make it. Blue Boo and Kerr were at the back of the queue though, as the elimination was fast, and their queue advanced quickly.
After just half an hour of queuing, it was the turn of Blue Boo and Kerr and the others, and following the two in were another eighteen people.
Kerr looked relaxed outside, but once they entered here, Kerr was obviously a little nervous.
“It’s fine, even if it doesn’t work out, there are other ways.”Lan Xiaobu patted Kerr’s shoulder and comforted him.
Kerr pursed his lips and nodded, he guessed that Blue Xiaobu shouldn’t be aware of how big the difference was between the Star Conquering Army and other armies, nor how tough the other paths were.
There was an examiner in the room early on, and on the white wall behind the examiner was written in a row of large letters, the first round of the Levy Star Army’s examination. A few simple words could make those who were suffering nervous. It is important to know that there are three rounds of examination for the Star Levying Army, and if you are eliminated in any of the rounds, you will directly walk away.
The first round’s elimination rate was also the highest, basically only four to five people passed out of a hundred.
The examiner’s gaze swept around the crowd, then said in a deep voice, ”My True Promise Planet is a second grade technological civilisation planet, and my Star Conquest Army is the first army of True Promise Planet. Therefore, every soldier who enters the Star Conquest Army must have knowledge that is useful enough, and only then will they be qualified to become a member of the Star Conquest Army. This first round of examination was my True Promise Star’s technological knowledge, and the time to answer the questions was a quarter of an hour. At the same time you get the test paper, the answering begins. Now please have all of you sit down.”
“Done.”Kerr wailed in his heart, if he had known that it was a technological knowledge quiz, then he didn’t even need to come in. He and Blue Xiaobu had clearly enrolled in the Battle Disc Army ah, why did they have to answer about technological knowledge?
Lan Xiaobu deliberately chose to sit behind Keer, Keer was nice, if he could help Keer, then he naturally helped Keer.
The twenty people had just taken their seats when the table flipped over, then a test paper, a pen and a piece of white paper appeared in front of everyone.
The test paper had a total of ten questions, and as Lan Xiaobu used his mind to scan Kerr’s and the surrounding people’s test papers, he found that there were very few identical test papers, and most of them were different.
However, for Blue Xiaobu, who had already absorbed most of Rian’s memories, none of the questions were difficult. What he was worried about now wasn’t which question he wouldn’t do, but how many he should get right.
I should have known to ask those two women how many questions they usually answered to pass.
