As dawn broke, the sky turned a fish-belly white.The Earth Dragon Squad returned to camp, their transport vehicle bringing them back to their quarters."I'm exhausted."Xiao Yunlong leaned back in his seat, his eyes showing deep fatigue.For an entire night, the Earth Dragon Squad had barely rested, continuously hunting Shadow Cat squads on the outskirts of the military camp. By the end, even he, a Psychic Mage, was struggling to keep up.Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao were in even worse shape; using their abilities too much had given them severe headaches.Thankfully, as soon as day broke, the Shadow Cat lost its advantage in night combat /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ and was forced to retreat, allowing them to catch their breath.However…Xiao Yunlong turned to look at Qin Tian. This new teammate had truly brought them many surprises.After a night of combat, Qin Tian's marksmanship had become even more refined; at least two-thirds of the Shadow Cats had fallen to his gun. Not only that, but his physical fitness also exceeded everyone's expectations.He was fast, had strong endurance, and was practically an iron man. Even now, there wasn't a hint of weariness on his face.Are clones this strong now?Xiao Yunlong closed his eyes, muttering softly to himself.After returning to her room, Liu Zhaozhao immediately took off her combat uniform and went inside without even showering, her voice tired as she said:"I'm going to sleep first. Call me if anything happens."Bang~The door closed, and a lazy groan came from inside."I'm going to sleep too."Xiao Yunlong threw his combat uniform onto the sofa, went into the bathroom to splash water on his face, and then immediately slipped into his room."Qin Tian, you should also go rest."Qin Dadi pointed to the room on the right: "This room will be yours from now on. Tell me if you need anything, and I'll report it to the logistics department."After saying that, Qin Dadi suddenly realized that Qin Tian might not have concepts like washing or other hygiene in his cognition, so he added:"Never mind, I'll prepare it for you. I'll teach you some things slowly in the future.""Okay."Qin Tian nodded and turned to walk towards the room.Just then, Qin Dadi suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand, ready to call out to Qin Tian, but after opening his mouth, he still didn't make a sound.Forget it. Saying it now would only add pressure. I'll tell him after the war ends.Qin Dadi shook his head, rubbed his temples, and entered his room. Less than half a minute later, snoring echoed from inside.… … … …Whoosh~ ~Qin Tian turned off the faucet and wiped his face with a towel, looking directly at the unfamiliar face in the mirror.His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, a thin lip was tightly pressed beneath a high nose bridge, and his facial features were sharp and cold, making him a perfect example of a handsome, aloof male god."Tsk tsk, handsome enough to commit a crime~"When no one was around, Qin Tian could finally drop his facade, and his entire being relaxed considerably.It had to be said, pretending to be cool for so long was quite tiring.Sometimes, he wanted to ask questions or participate in team conversations, but considering his persona, he could only stand by silently, occasionally uttering a 'hmm' or 'uh-huh,' which really stifled him.A shower was out of the question for now, to avoid revealing any flaws. Qin Tian took off his socks, washed his feet, then lay on the bed, his thoughts sinking into his mind.Six talent orbs—four green and two white—shimmered like stars. Above each orb was a translucent small "+" sign.Qin Tian glanced at the system panel. After a night of intense fighting, dozens of Shadow Cats had died by his hand, and his evolution points had reached 326."Let's try a small test first."Qin Tian selected the "+" sign on 【Advanced Strength】. The next second, a numerical input field appeared after the "+" sign, allowing him to enter numbers with his mind.Qin Tian entered "20" and clicked confirm.Buzz~~The green orb trembled slightly, a faint green light flashed, but then it immediately went still."That's it? It doesn't even show how many evolution points are needed to upgrade."Qin Tian was quite helpless. He had invested 20 evolution points, and not even a ripple appeared. However, the green color of the orb seemed to have deepened just a tiny bit.Forget it, let's try a different talent.Qin Tian focused his attention on the two white talents: 【Low-level Blade Sense】 and 【Cat's Agility】.Talents of lower levels naturally required fewer evolution points to upgrade.Considering he didn't have time to study blade techniques now, Qin Tian decisively invested heavily in 【Cat's Agility】.Evolution Points - 200Buzz~~The white orb vibrated violently, its color changing from a hazy pale white to a milky white, subtly tinged with a hint of green.At this moment, Qin Tian could clearly feel his body changing, becoming lighter and more agile.It seems that even if the talent hasn't fully advanced, as long as it's strengthened, it's useful.Since that's the case, I'll invest another 50, no, 51.Buzz~The green tint within the white orb rapidly spread. In just a few seconds, all the white disappeared, and the orb turned a light green.【Cat's Agility】 Evolved — 【Shadow Cat's Phantom】… …【Name】 Shadow Cat's Phantom (Green)【Type】 Passive Talent【Description】 Body like a Spirit Cat, possessing extremely powerful burst strength and reaction speed. Moves silently and can subtly blend with the surrounding environment: greatly enhanced sense of smell, hearing, and night vision.… … … …Crack, crack, crack~~His bones and muscles felt tingly and numb, as if tiny hands were massaging him.Qin Tian closed his eyes, and everything around him became clear: the sound of breathing from the next room, the creaking of tracks over the ground outside the window, the burnt smell of burning engine oil…What a wonderful feeling~Qin Tian's lips curved into a smile. Unconsciously, he seemed to have grown fond of this world.Although it was full of dangers, and he might die from a stray bullet or artillery shell, the experience of constantly growing stronger and gradually becoming superhuman was truly captivating.However…Qin Tian opened his eyes, recalling the battle scenes from last night.Qin Dadi's Rock Might, Liu Zhaozhao's Blazing Inferno, and Xiao Yunlong's Swift Wind Blade had all been eye-opening for him.Without firearms, he might not have lasted even one round against the three of them.This was not just a matter of ability but also a significant gap in combat experience.Espera, Spiritual Energy User.Qin Tian felt that he was now half an Esper; his physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary people, but he lacked offensive means, or rather, active talents.Compared to Espers, he was more interested in Spiritual Energy Users.According to Xiao Yunlong's introduction, Spiritual Energy Users were divided into two schools: Psychic Mages and Spirit Warriors. The former excelled in magic, while the latter were strong in close combat.What Espers could do, Spiritual Energy Users could also do, and even do better.From the team's conversations, Qin Tian could also sense Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao's regret and pity at not being able to become Spiritual Energy Users.It seemed that only when one couldn't become a Spiritual Energy User would they settle for being an Esper."It looks like I need to work on Xiao Yunlong."Qin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.
