"Qin Tian, how does it feel to become a Spiritual Energy User?" Xiao Yunlong asked with a smile.Qin Tian replied, "There's an energy inside my body that I can control. It's a very… peculiar feeling."Upon hearing this, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao couldn't help but show expressions of envy.This 'Psychic Energy' was the biggest difference between Spiritual Energy Users and Espers.Espers had no energy within their bodies; releasing their abilities was like raising a hand or blinking an eye, almost instinctive.The advantage of Espers was that their abilities were more natural and spontaneous. If their ability was powerful, their early combat strength could surpass that of a Spiritual Energy User.However, due to the lack of energy, Esper combat heavily depleted physical and mental strength, leading to poor endurance. Furthermore, in terms of versatility of methods and destructive power in the later stages, they were far inferior to Spiritual Energy Users.The Spiritual Energy User was the premier profession in the Empire and even the entire universe."Haha, that's Psychic Energy," Xiao Yunlong laughed. "After awakening Psychic Energy, you'll need to choose a cultivation technique that suits you. However, there are many factors to consider when selecting a technique, such as whether you prefer to be a Psychic Warrior or a Psychic Mage. Additionally, your Psychic affinity also determines the direction of your technique choice. For example, I have a high wind affinity, so I ultimately chose a wind-elemental technique."Qin Tian knew that his Psychic affinity was definitely highest for lightning and darkness, but he still asked, ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ "How do I test my affinity?""That's simple," Xiao Yunlong said. "Just go to the Special Operations Management Office for testing. Oh, and every Spiritual Energy User needs to register at the Special Operations Management Office. Since you've just awakened, you'll need to go and register."At this moment, Qin Dadi added,"Qin Tian, after registering as a Spiritual Energy User, you'll enjoy many benefits, such as medical fee reductions, schooling for relatives, career promotions, and so on. But for you, the most important thing is that it can help you speed up the processing of your Imperial ID card."The ID card was too important for the citizens of the Empire.Without an ID card, you were essentially unregistered, and all welfare benefits and avenues for advancement were irrelevant to you.Take Qin Tian, for example. Although he had recently achieved great military merits, with hundreds of Orcs dying by his hand, the lack of an ID card meant that his military merit points had been delayed, and military rank promotions and medal rewards were also out of his reach."Understood." Qin Tian nodded."It's still early today anyway, why don't we go register now?" Xiao Yunlong suggested."Okay."Qin Tian also wanted to get his ID card processed soon and claim his military merit points.With military merit points, he could exchange for a Rune Gun or a cultivation technique suitable for him."Let's go, depart!"The group boarded the shuttle bus and soon arrived at the Special Operations Management Office.The Special Operations Management Office was located in a two-story building. The first floor was the service hall, with a dozen windows. Currently, several Spiritual Energy Users or Espers could be seen handling related business.Qin Tian walked to an empty window and sat down, while the other three stood behind him."What business are you here for?" the young staff member at the window asked.Before Qin Tian could speak, Xiao Yunlong, standing behind him, quickly answered for him."We are from the 319th Regiment's Earth Dragon Squad. This is our member, Qin Tian, who has just awakened as a Spiritual Energy User. We're here to register him.""Oh, I see ~" The staff member looked at Qin Tian with surprise. It was rare for someone to awaken as a Spiritual Energy User on the battlefield, at least it was the first time for him."Alright, please tell me your ID number."Xiao Yunlong then said, "He doesn't have an ID card."No ID card?The staff member's gaze instantly sharpened. "What's the situation? Are you unregistered?"At this, Xiao Yunlong stopped speaking. He felt that the next part of the story needed to be told by Qin Tian himself.Under the staff member's gaze, Qin Tian slowly said, "I am a clone."What!!!The staff member's face suddenly showed shock. In common perception, clones were just cannon fodder on the battlefield, their status similar to weapons and ammunition in a warehouse—disposable consumables.According to big data statistics, the average lifespan of a clone was 32 days, which meant that the vast majority of clones would die in their first battle.Fewer than 10% of clones survived two battles, and less than 1% survived three battles.It could be said that clones were pure consumables, and not very valuable ones at that, only applicable to low-intensity warfare.However, once a clone had incredibly good luck and survived several battles, they would have the opportunity to come into contact with Psychic Energy.Once Psychic Energy awakened, their lives would immediately change.All of this stemmed from a special legal provision."Wait here, I'm going up to report now." The staff member suddenly stood up, threw out a sentence, and quickly rushed upstairs."What's going on? Is it really that exciting?" Xiao Yunlong looked puzzled."It seems that rumor is true." Qin Dadi was thoughtful."What rumor?" Xiao Yunlong, Liu Zhaozhao, and Qin Tian all looked at Qin Dadi.Qin Dadi said solemnly, "A rumor about a special management regulation for clones. I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but this regulation was personally pushed by Lin Shuai.""Lin Shuai!!!"Hearing this name, Xiao Yunlong and Liu Zhaozhao were surprised, but then they nodded in sudden understanding.If Lin Shuai formulated it, then it must be correct.Qin Tian noticed the change in their expressions and couldn't help but ask, "Who is Lin Shuai?""Lin Shuai, he is one of the most legendary figures in the Empire!" Xiao Yunlong's eyes gleamed with admiration."From a small soldier on the battlefield, he grew step by step to become one of the Empire's Ten Great Marshals, commanding numerous interstellar battles that shook the past and present.""Lin Shuai can be said to be the best example of rising from the bottom, and he is an idol in the hearts of countless people.""Most importantly…" Xiao Yunlong looked at Qin Tian, his tone carrying an unspeakable meaning, "Lin Shuai, like you, is also a clone."What!!At this, the calm and aloof expression on Qin Tian's face could no longer be maintained. His heart churned like a stormy sea, filled with overwhelming shock.He knew very well that he had only survived until now thanks to the golden finger that came with his transmigration.Without the golden finger, he would most likely have shared the fate of other clones, unable to escape the destiny of battlefield cannon fodder.Therefore, he couldn't imagine how a clone could possibly survive one brutal and bloody battle after another, how he endured external ridicule and disdain, and ultimately ascended to the throne of the Empire's Ten Great Marshals.In his opinion, this was simply a fantasy, something even novels wouldn't dare to write.This was the first time the Earth Dragon Squad members had seen such a shocked and astonished expression on Qin Tian's face, but they weren't surprised.Anyone would react the same way after learning about Lin Shuai's deeds.Lin Shuai, Lin Xuanqing, truly a god-like figure.
