Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 46 The Military's Attention

Seeing Qin Mu's confident demeanor, Li Shun smiled, and then, in front of Qin Mu, pressed a button on the tactical watch to activate the communication function.

"Qin Mu, you may not know this, but when He Jingtian and the others reported your situation to their superiors, the entire upper echelons were alarmed!"

"So before we discuss the issue of selling monsters, I need to talk to you about something else!"

Li Shun did not press for details about the exact number of monsters, but instead changed the subject.

"Do you know what it means to be able to tame monsters on a large scale, even taming lord-level monsters?"

"Because of your situation, the highest levels of the military have convened an emergency meeting. Our current communication is being relayed to the rear in real time."

"Even Speaker Jia Yi, the founder of our Huashan Organization, is listening."

As he spoke, Li Shun paused, and his tone became serious.

"Next, I will ask you some questions. I hope you can answer them truthfully. Based on your answers, we will provide you with corresponding treatment."

Seeing Li Shun's expression, Qin Mu also became serious.

The military has finally started to truly value him, instead of treating him as merely a genius or a promising talent, as before.

Li Shun looked into Qin Mu's eyes and said earnestly.

"Qin Mu, when did you awaken as a psychic?"

Qin Mu answered without hesitation.

"June 21th!"

Li Shun asked again.

"Qin Mu, have you now reached the level of a beginner-level War God-level Spiritual Master?"

Qin Mu said earnestly.

"Yes, I am now a beginner-level War God-level mentalist."

Li Shun asked.

"Your awakened psychic talent allows you to tame large numbers of monsters, even lord-level monsters!"

Qin Mu did not hesitate at all.

"Yes."

Li Shun's face clearly showed joy as he asked.

Are there any limitations to your talent?

Qin Mu hesitated slightly this time before replying.

"No restrictions have been found yet."

Li Shun asked several more questions, mostly related to animal training.

Qin Mu answered each question in turn. He did not hide anything that was unrelated to the insect swarm, but he skipped over those that were related to the insect swarm.

While the two were talking, in a virtual space.

Inside a minimalist-style large conference hall, there is only one conference table and a dozen or so chairs.

The chairs were full of people, each one a rising star.

One of the officers sent a document to the others.

"Everyone, this is Qin Mu's information."

"Both parents are soldiers. On July 1st of this year, I became a quasi-martial artist. Afterwards, I went into the wilderness alone and awakened my talent as a spiritualist."

"During the martial arts combat assessment, which is August 1st, the strength will reach the advanced warrior level, the intermediate warrior level mental master level, and will demonstrate a powerful talent for mental control and beast taming."

"According to the data, his beast taming ability was still very immature and not mature enough during the martial arts combat assessment."

"After joining the military, I purchased weapons and equipment such as 'World Destruction' and 'Basic Techniques for Spiritual Masters' before venturing into the wilderness again."

"Up to today, in just over half a month, my strength has reached the level of intermediate warrior general and beginner war god mental master."

They also tamed a low-level lord-class black-crowned golden eagle, as well as a large number of beast general-level monsters.

After saying this, the officer sent another document to the others.

"These are daily records about Qin Mu, as well as analyses of his personality, behavior, and so on."

An officer finished reading all the documents and said...

"I believe that Qin Mu's talent is absolutely top-tier. In just over a month, he went from a quasi-martial artist to a beginner-level war god. He deserves the highest level of training!"

"I second that! If such a genius's progress is slowed down due to resource constraints, it would be a disgrace to the military!"

"I second that! The data analysis shows he has a strong sense of belonging to China and the military, and he harbors extreme hatred for monsters!"

"With his talent, reaching the peak of a high-level war god, or even an invincible war god, is not a problem. It is even possible for him to become a planetary-level war god."

If he could tame a large number of high-ranking lord-level monsters, or even king-level monsters, perhaps the turning point in the monster war would lie with him.

"..."

Everyone was having a heated discussion, and they all acknowledged the talent Qin Mu had displayed.

Of course, some people also expressed concern.

"High-level training is fine, but we can't overprotect them! Otherwise, we'll ruin them!"

"It was said by a serious-looking officer."

"We will keep a close eye on him, but we won't really treat him like a flower in a garden."

This kid has a ruthless streak to his core. Before becoming a martial artist, his talent was not apparent. In order to become a martial artist, he deliberately ruined himself through training!

After becoming a quasi-martial artist, he actually dared to go into the wilderness alone to hunt monsters!

I was worried he was being too radical!

Another officer, however, said with a smile.

Ultimately, everyone reached a consensus and drafted a contract, which was prepared to be sent to Zhang Shunfa, who was communicating with Qin Mu.

However, a man in black who had been sitting at the head of the conference table and had not spoken until now spoke up.

"Add another condition: give him a plant spirit from my private resource library so he can grow up as quickly as possible!"

As for his future development, Jiang Long, that's your responsibility!

"What? Councilor Jia? They're actually going to give him a dose of herbal remedies?"

An officer standing nearby was startled, clearly extremely surprised.

"That's settled, go and do it!"

"..."

On the other side, just as Zhang Shun and Qin Mu finished their conversation, Zhang Shun's tactical watch vibrated, and a message was sent over.

Zhang Shun's expression changed upon seeing this; he was shocked by the information.

"Qin Mu, this is a contract from higher-ups. It's up to you whether you want to sign it!"

As she spoke, she sent the message to Qin Mu, her expression filled with envy.

Qin Mu looked at Zhang Shun with some confusion, then looked down to check the information.

This is an invitation, an invitation from the military's Huashan organization, not the monster-selling contract Qin Mu imagined.

He never hid his talent, which finally made the military take him seriously.

Just like Luo Feng, after entering the elite training camp and showing his talent, he was valued by the Limit Martial Arts Academy and signed a contract.

Qin Mu opened the contract and examined it carefully, bit by bit.

This contract is of a much higher level than the one Qin Mu signed before.

They have power and interests! And of course, they also bear responsibility!

"Annual operating expenses of 100 billion RMB?"

Qin Mu nodded to himself; this was no small sum.

However, this is only the beginning.

"The military directly provided the complete 'World Destruction' manual? The complete 'Spiritual Master Basics' manual? A set of nine-element weapons tailor-made for you?"

Qin Mu was shocked. The two sets of secret manuals were worth a full 200 billion according to market value!

Not to mention, they can also customize a set of nine types of weapons.

"The Black God Set! There's even a Black God Set? But later, when I'm stronger, I'll have to go to the ruins myself to get a Black God Set and return it to the organization? No problem!"

Just when Qin Mu thought it was over, the last line of text made him exclaim in admiration: the military really went all out this time!

Because the military gave them a thousand-year-old willow heartwood, a plant of exceptional quality.

What is the spirit of plants and trees?

This is a treasure even more powerful than dragon blood; it is a non-renewable natural treasure!

The heartwood of a thousand-year-old willow tree has two effects: one is to increase cell activity, and the other is to greatly improve physical fitness!

Luo Feng first consumed dragon blood in the elite training camp, which improved his physical attributes from a mid-level warrior to a primary-level war god, and his mental power reached the level of a high-level war god.

Later, he consumed a thousand-year-old willow heart on Kirishima Island, which directly upgraded his physical attributes from a primary war god to a high-level war god, and his mental power reached the peak of the high-level war god, making him an invincible war god!

Qin Mu had considered that once the military learned of his talent, they would invest resources in nurturing him, which is why he had been consistently showcasing his talent.

But I never expected the military to be so generous!

This was completely unexpected by Qin Mu.

As for the corresponding responsibilities, they were not too harsh. In fact, it was stated that Qin Mu should focus his main energy on improving his strength in the short term and not be distracted by other things!

He can still study at the top military academy in Jiangnan, and his privileges have been greatly enhanced, with many research labs now open directly to him.

There wasn't even any mention of selling monsters to the military; Qin Mu and Zhang Shun were to discuss that separately.

I was too narrow-minded!

"I'll sign this contract!"

Qin Mu answered without hesitation: with such generous treatment, he would be a fool not to sign!
