Chapter 238. Making a Slacking Choice, Rewarded with a Divine Artifact!
“What kind of people are in Group One, First Formation of this New Recruit Training Camp? These new recruits are even more impressive than veterans like us who have served for over a decade.”
“Did you not see the three Martial Gods invited to this celebration banquet? Jiang Yichen, Su Linyu, Tang Long, and Chu Xingchen are all direct descendants of top-tier families.”
“That is not right. Why did I hear that Jiang Yichen, the heir of the Jiang Family, was an out-and-out piece of trash who was even simping after a woman?”
“Hiss! I am from Central China, and I have heard about that too.”
“You people in the army really do not pay attention to anything outside the barracks. You did not witness Jiang Yichen’s path of counterattack. It was practically legendary!”
“...”
After the celebration banquet ended, the guests left the auditorium one after another, gathering in small groups of twos and threes as they discussed Jiang Yichen and the other three.
“It seems Jiang Yichen and the others are going to become famous throughout the Five Major Military Districts. I am so envious!” Lingling, the lifelike robot girl, said with envy in her eyes.
Liang Shan’s voice was muffled. “Indeed. Our Divine Battle Division has been around for so long, yet we are not even as famous as these new recruits. Sigh!”
“What does that matter? No matter how famous they become, they will still be members of our Divine Battle Division in the future.”
Mei Xue’er did not care in the slightest. “For the department assignments after the New Recruit Assessment, the Commander-in-Chief will definitely arrange for them to join the Divine Battle Division.”
As soon as she said this, Lingling’s eyes lit up. “That is great. With someone as strong as Jiang Yichen around, the overseas mission to Takamagahara in Japan to escort Nezha back to Huaxia will be much easier.”
Mei Xue’er nodded, and a smile appeared on her greasy, bearded face.
At this moment, in the military district commander’s office.
Jiang Yichen and the other three, who had just attended the celebration banquet, had been called to the office by Xu Lin.
“First, congratulations on receiving your honors,” Xu Lin said with a cheerful smile, looking thoroughly pleased.
This celebration banquet had truly allowed him to show off properly in front of the other military districts.
Damn it. You people always looked down on East China during the annual summaries. At this year’s annual summary, I will make sure you cannot reach our level!
Xu Lin calmed himself, then looked up at Jiang Yichen and the other three, his eyes filled with appreciation.
“The Divine Battle Division gave full marks for your New Recruit Assessment. That means your two months of intensive training have ended.”
“Originally, I wanted to arrange for you to enter the East China Battle Division. Unfortunately, the Divine Battle Division also wants you.”
Xu Lin revealed a troubled expression. It would naturally be best if such excellent seedlings could stay in East China.
However, the East China Battle Division was not especially suitable for the growth of Jiang Yichen and the other three.
“How about this? You can choose for yourselves. Do you want to stay in East China or join the Divine Battle Division?”
“I am not the sort of person who likes forcing people. No matter what you choose, I will do my best to fight for it on your behalf!”
Xu Lin picked up his old cadre-style teacup, took a sip, and looked at the four of them.
Chu Xingchen lowered his head and pondered for a moment before speaking. “Commander Xu, I have become a divine contract holder and bear the mission of reviving the Illustrious Sage Lord. The Divine Battle Division is more suitable for me.”
Xu Lin nodded. “That is fine.”
“Then I...” Tang Long looked at Jiang Yichen and the other two. “We are one group. I will follow the choice of the majority.”
In truth, there was no place that suited him more than another. Whether it was the East China Battle Division or the Divine Battle Division, as long as he could stay with his close brothers, that was enough.
Xu Lin smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Su Linyu. “What about you?”
Su Linyu raised her head and looked at Jiang Yichen. “Brother Yichen, where do you want to go?”
Jiang Yichen looked thoughtful and asked, “Commander Xu, does the East China Battle Division have many missions?”
Xu Lin raised his brows. He thought that for a genius like Jiang Yichen, only more tempering would be able to move him.
Moreover, the East China Battle Division was responsible for dealing with the demonic beasts that appeared throughout East China, as well as unsolvable Beast Tides erupting at the border. There were hardly a few days of rest in a year.
For a genius, this was simply an excellent place to cultivate.
“Many. Of course there are many. Yichen, if you enter the East China Battle Division, I guarantee that I will arrange more than enough training opportunities for you and help you grow quickly,” Xu Lin promised.
?
Jiang Yichen was inwardly startled.
Damn! Thank goodness I asked first. Otherwise, I really would have gone there to be worked like an ox.
Phew. That was close. My slacking life was nearly destroyed.
At least the Divine Battle Division could tolerate him slacking off. If he slacked off in the East China Battle Division, he would probably be gossiped to death.
No. He absolutely could not step into this pit.
If he did not choose a department assignment, he would not be able to complete his military district internship, so he might as well choose one where he could slack off.
“Then I choose the Divine Battle Division,” Jiang Yichen said decisively.
Xu Lin: “???”
“Huh? You do not want to consider it?” he asked in surprise. This was somewhat different from what he had expected.
Was Jiang Yichen not the one who trained the hardest? He should have liked this kind of battle division with many missions.
Jiang Yichen shook his head with absolute firmness. “No need to consider it. I choose the Divine Battle Division.”
Xu Lin fell silent.
At that moment, the system’s voice rang out in Jiang Yichen’s mind.
【Ding! Slacking Choice triggered.】
【Choice One: Faced with the mission-heavy East China Battle Division, you feel you can use these missions to improve yourself and work hard to reach a higher realm. Reward: “Mr. Hard Worker” title.
Choice Two: Both battle divisions have missions. How annoying. You simply slack off, go home, and join neither. Reward: “Low-level Slacker Gift Pack.”
Choice Three: Faced with the mission-heavy East China Battle Division, you directly slack off and refuse to go. Life is short, so why make things difficult for yourself? Choose one where you can slack off. Reward: “High-level Slacker Gift Pack.”】
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, for making a slacking choice. Reward: “High-level Slacker Gift Pack.” Open it?】
The delayed system had arrived again.
Jiang Yichen smiled faintly. He had freeloaded another Advanced Slacker Gift Pack. Time to see what good things it could open.
“Open it,” he said inwardly.
【Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: Random Divine Artifact Gift Pack, Universal Tongues.】
A divine artifact?
Jiang Yichen froze, then tapped open the reward description.
【Random Divine Artifact Gift Pack: After opening, you may randomly obtain one divine artifact of any quality.】
The rewarded weapon had been upgraded. It was no longer a Magical Artifact, but a Divine Artifact.
However, this Divine Artifact did not have the Supreme-grade label, so it definitely was not as powerful as the Void Mirror.
Jiang Yichen thought of the Divine Artifacts used by the Level-Nine Preachers of the God-Revival Church. However, after being identified by the system, those were all pseudo-divine artifacts, made by imitating real Divine Artifacts.
Let me see how strong a true Divine Artifact can be.
“System, open the gift pack.”
【Random Divine Artifact Gift Pack opened. Congratulations, you have obtained...】
