From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 330 Join
After asking this question, Jian Qing's expression immediately became serious.

Because she found that this question was related to obtaining intelligence from the war zone chief.

This question may sound like just casual chat, but spies can often analyze useful intelligence from such marginal information.

Therefore, in the war zone, it was usually not allowed to inquire about the content of Li Guining's conversations with others.

Lu Heng saw her embarrassment, opened the file on his notebook, pointed at her skill data, and said:

"You have maxed out your proficiency in these skills, right? Especially this D-level [Wind Acceleration], which was a very good skill a year ago. Now it's a bit weak, right?"

Jian Qing nodded and replied, "This skill is indeed of a low level, but it used to be my core skill. I chose the wind attribute enhancement route because of this skill in the beginning.

"I originally planned to upgrade this skill first after getting the world quest reward, but I didn't expect..."

She received the world mission reward in this call-up of the Sykes world.

Among the three rewards for world quests, the second one is to upgrade skills.

However, the third option is to increase the skill slot.

In comparison, it is more important to significantly increase the skill slots.

So she gave up the opportunity to upgrade her skills and chose the skill slot.

She was also very sad because of this incident.

Lu Heng pointed at the three D and C level skills in her skill data: "If you join the Qianlong Special Forces, I have a way to help you upgrade these skills."

When Jian Qing heard this, her expression was stunned.

Although Lu Heng did not answer her question just now, this sentence was equivalent to an answer.

After listening to this, Jian Qing understood how Li Guining was persuaded.

No matter who you are, as long as you have mastered the method of upgrading skills, you are eligible to make conditions.

It's not just Lu Heng, it's the same for others.

Of course, different people can propose different conditions.

Lu Heng himself possesses peak combat power, so he is qualified to establish such a special forces team.

If the fighting power is not enough, there is a greater possibility that he will be arranged to be a mascot in the army.

There is no problem in having a life of wealth and glory, and you can even be awarded an honorary title, but if you want to gain real power, you still have to rely on strength.

When Jian Qing heard Lu Heng's condition, her heart began to beat wildly, but she remained relatively calm.

She pondered and asked, "What will it cost?"

It was April of the second year when the abyss descended. She had experienced many abyss battlefields and had some understanding of the abyss world.

The rules of the world have already regulated many things from the beginning.

For example, if you want to gain combat power, you must work hard.

It is almost impossible to gain combat power without paying anything. Even if it is possible, it will be a very small improvement.

The most real example is the super power potion.

Injecting super-power potions can be said to be a way to gain powerful combat power without any effort.

However, this method of acquiring combat power was restricted by rules from the very beginning, resulting in irreversible side effects.

Therefore, Jian Qing was very clear about one thing: things were not so easy in the abyss world. If one wanted to upgrade one's skills, one had to make corresponding efforts or pay a price.

Otherwise, this method of advancement will inevitably contain traps, just like the betrayer mission.

The reward for the betrayer's mission is so generous that it is hard to resist, but once you accept this gift, you will become a pawn of the abyss and there will be no chance to turn back.

So she wanted to ask clearly.

Lu Heng guessed her thoughts and replied, "It requires divine energy. Upgrading a D-level skill requires about 300 points of divine energy, and there is a possibility of failure. The higher the skill level, the more divine energy is consumed."

After listening to this, Jian Qing nodded slowly.

Consume divine energy to upgrade skills, and things will make sense.

She pointed at her skill data thoughtfully and asked, "You just said that these can be upgraded?"

Lu Heng nodded and confirmed: "Yes, as long as the skill proficiency is full, you can upgrade."

"In other words, the method of upgrading skills can be reused." Jian Qing extracted the most important information from this answer.

Lu Heng smiled and nodded again to confirm, "Yes, it can be reused. Let me put it bluntly, as long as you join the Qianlong Special Forces, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your skills. As for the allocation plan for skill upgrade qualifications, we will discuss it later."

After hearing this, Jian Qing took a breath.

At this moment, she finally understood what the cornerstone of the special operations team was.

This is a special forces team that can upgrade its skills. If the means to upgrade the skills can be acquired repeatedly, it means that this special forces team can cultivate a group of super soldiers with advanced skills throughout the body.

Jian Qing took a deep breath and asked, "Has your team already used this method to upgrade their skills?"

Lu Heng smiled and nodded.

"Are there any side effects?" Jian Qing was worried that this method of upgrading skills would have side effects. If the side effects were as serious as the super power potion, it would definitely not be possible.

"As long as the skill upgrade is successful, there will be no side effects. But there is a possibility of failure in the upgrade. If it fails, the divine energy will be wasted. If you are unlucky, the skill may be scrapped. Of course, the probability of this is relatively small." Lu Heng really wanted to recruit her into the special forces team, so he patiently answered all her questions.

Jian Qing then asked, "Have you tested the way to upgrade your skills? Are there any detailed upgrade records?"

Lu Heng slowly shook his head and replied: "Some things are not convenient to be made public."

Jian Qing understood the meaning of this sentence and fell into deep thought.

Lu Heng continued, "If you are willing to come, the captain's position is yours, and you can also participate in the selection of members."

Jian Qing was actually moved, but she was a cautious person, so she asked, "If I agree, what will I have to pay?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "Nothing special. The only thing to note is that this team is directly responsible to the Southern Theater Command. To put it bluntly, only Li Guining and I can mobilize this special operations team.

"So, if you agree to join, you will not need to report to any department other than the Southern Theater Command. All information related to the special operations team is classified."

Jian Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled, and asked, "What if I refuse to join?"

Lu Heng spread his hands and said, "That's nothing, but you have to forget everything we talked about today and don't let it leak out."

Jian Qing tapped the table with two fingers, thinking the matter over. After weighing the pros and cons, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I agree. Can I now participate in the discussion of the special forces candidates?"

"Of course." Lu Heng finally found the first satisfactory candidate and couldn't help but smile.

"Who are your candidates now?" Jian Qing immediately got into work mode.

"I think Chen Zihang is a good fit. His abilities are rare and his future combat power is promising. In addition, several of my former comrades are also suitable. It depends on whether they are willing to join. I still hope that they will join voluntarily rather than being forced to join." Lu Heng expressed his thoughts. Jian Qing nodded: "Chen Zihang asked me to talk to him. I think he should agree."

Lu Heng also thought so.

Chen Zihang was not a military service member, but was admitted to a national defense university based on his academic performance. However, he is a calm and adventurous person.

So, given his personality, there is a high probability that he is willing to join.

As for Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun and other comrades who had fought side by side with him.

Lu Heng trusts them very much, but not everyone is suitable to join the special forces.

This special forces team will carry out very dangerous missions in the future, which will require extremely high combat effectiveness.

Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun and others were promoted to lieutenants and transferred to various troops to take up important positions.

They all have their own strengths, but they are not outstanding in terms of combat power.

Some people are suitable to be super soldiers, while others are suitable to be responsible for logistics work.

Everyone has their own areas of expertise, and only by staying in the right position can one have the best development.

In the afternoon.

Chen Zihang happened to have time, so he came to the Longwei base as soon as he received the notice. He waved and greeted the two people as soon as he entered the door.

Qi Jinghui, the theater staff officer, first showed the document and explained: "Today's conversation needs to be kept confidential. This is a confidential document."

Chen Zihang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "There is nothing unclassified in the war zone. I know the rules."

There is indeed something wrong with what he said.

On a military base in a war zone, almost everything needs to be kept secret.

Lu Heng waved for him to sit down, and repeated to him what he had said to Jian Qing before, but omitted the matter of upgrading skills.

It’s better not to leak this secret.

Jian Qing was the first person to be convinced, so she had to use this bargaining chip.

As for the secret of upgrading skills, it is better to mention it after the selected person agrees to join.

Chen Zihang turned to look at Jian Qing and asked curiously, "Have you joined?"

Jian Qing nodded as a matter of course: "Of course."

Chen Zihang actually wanted to join, but he was still a little curious: "I knew before that the theater had formed a special operations team with a special structure, but the future of such a special team is difficult to guarantee. You are willing to join?"

In fact, his doubts were correct.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jian Qing now has a bright future.

With a strong combat capability to back him up, he has already reached the rank of captain at a young age. If he makes a few more contributions, he will be promoted to colonel. His future prospects are limitless.

In this case, she didn't need to take the risk of joining a special team with an uncertain future.

Jian Qing turned her head to look at Lu Heng and asked with a smile: "Do you want to tell him the secret?"

Lu Heng joked in a relaxed tone: "If you tell him, he will have to join, otherwise he will be silenced."

Jian Qing nodded and said, "Yes, if we tell you the secrets of the special forces, you have to join, otherwise you will be silenced. You can choose now whether to listen or not."

Chen Zihang rolled his eyes and said, "Since you all said so, how can I bear to leave without listening to your words?"

This is his personality. The more curious he is, the more he wants to know. Even if he finds out in the end that joining the special forces is a bit of a pitfall, he will still jump in with tears.

Jian Qing guessed his answer from the beginning, and pointed to her own file and said, "When Lu Heng invited me, he made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. He said that as long as I joined, he would help me upgrade these skills."

"These few?" Chen Zihang widened his eyes and emphasized the quantifier "several".

"Yeah, these are what he's talking about." Jian Qing tapped the screen three times with her fingers, highlighting the three D and C level skills.

"What about me? If Jian Qing can upgrade her skills, I must upgrade at least... two?" Chen Zihang still found it a little unbelievable, but Jian Qing was not the kind of person who would make meaningless jokes.

So he thought that no matter how unbelievable it was, it must be true, and he started trying to negotiate the price directly.

Lu Heng smiled and replied, "As long as the skill proficiency is fully mastered and there is enough divine energy, you can upgrade as many as you want."

Jian Qing suddenly realized a problem and asked, "Wait a minute, if my [Wind Acceleration] is upgraded to Level C, will there be a chance to upgrade it to Level B in the future?"

Lu Heng smiled and nodded: "I said, as long as the skill proficiency is fully practiced, plus there is enough divine energy, you can level up."

Jian Qing was getting a little restless.

Chen Zihang's eyes widened in surprise, "No wonder, I found that many of your and Su Muyu's skill effects are stronger than when I first saw them. It turns out that you have a way to upgrade your skills!"

Among all the people with special abilities that I know, Chen Zihang is the one I met the earliest.

During the first conscription, I rescued Quenching Fort in the Abyss Battlefield, and that time I met Chen Zihang.

Therefore, Chen Zihang had seen Lu Heng's initial appearance, and had probably seen the effects of Lu Heng and Su Muyu's skills.

At that time, Su Muyu mastered the skills of Scout Eagle and Invisibility.

The scout eagle at that time was just a summoned creature with little attack power and basically only had a reconnaissance function.

But what has the scout eagle become now?

Chongming bird!
The flapping of his wings can create solar wind with a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees. As a perceiver, he actually possesses a more powerful fire attack ability than an elementalist of the same level.

Chen Zihang asked in surprise, "Could Su Muyu's Chongming Bird be upgraded from a scout eagle?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "You can say that, but the Chongming Bird is not an ordinary skill upgrade. It has undergone two class enhancements, so the Chongming Bird can be regarded as a summoned creature with two source qualities."

"Then Su Muyu's invisibility skill must have been upgraded, right?" Chen Zihang compared Su Muyu's invisibility skill in the first abyss battlefield with his current invisibility skill in his mind. The effect was very different.

Lu Heng nodded and replied: "Yes, Mu Yu's invisibility skill is indeed upgraded."

Chen Zihang slammed the table and complained, "I originally thought you all relied on world quest rewards to upgrade your skills, but it turns out you have a special way to upgrade."

Lu Heng admitted: "Yes, we have a way to upgrade skills, but the upgrade process may fail, so we still need to remind you of this. If it fails, the divine energy will be wasted. In even worse cases, the skills will be scrapped."

Chen Zihang didn't care about the second half of the sentence at all: "On the road to obtaining higher combat power, there is no smooth sailing. The higher the risk, the greater the reward. Don't say anything. I will join the special forces, but you have to give me a senior position."

Lu Heng and Jian Qing looked at each other and said in unison: "Deputy Captain, it can't be higher."

"Deal!" Chen Zihang made the decision without hesitation.

He still has a year left before graduating from college and has been thinking about his post-graduation development plan.

Now, joining the special forces has solved his troubles.
