I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 62 - Large-scale collective mission


Today, there was only one martial arts class in the morning.After class, Qin Tian left the martial arts room under everyone's gaze and walked towards the southeast corner of the school.Along the way, he saw many uniquely designed buildings: gravity rooms, war simulation classrooms, shooting ranges, and the most magnificent building in the school—the Star Origin Tower.The tower body was made of special profound crystal, totaling nine stories and over a hundred meters high, with a golden star bead at its tip, glittering brilliantly in the sunlight.The Psionic energy concentration inside the Star Origin Tower was several times higher than outside, and the higher one went, the greater the Psionic energy concentration. Because of this, the Star Origin Tower also became a sacred cultivation ground within the school.However, to enter the Star Origin Tower for cultivation, one more thing was needed—academic credits.At Xiongying Military Academy, there were mainly two ways to earn academic credits.Firstly, in departmental assessments, top-ranked students would receive academic credit rewards; the higher the ranking, the more academic credit rewards.Secondly, the school would cooperate with the military, government, consortiums, and chambers of commerce to periodically release missions on the school's intranet.Students would receive corresponding academic credit rewards upon accepting and successfully completing a mission.Currently, Qin Tian's academic credits were zero, so he couldn't access many cultivation-related places like the Star Origin Tower or gravity rooms.Therefore, the place he was heading to now was one of the few in the school that didn't require money or academic credits—the library.Xiongying Military Academy's library had a twin-tower structure; the left side was the electronic reading area, with independent cubicles on every floor, and the right side was the paper book storage area, with open public access.Out of a long-standing habit, Qin Tian entered the paper library on the right.History, military, economy, culture…Different areas were clearly demarcated, and books filled every bookshelf.Qin Tian didn't hesitate; he went straight to his destination and took out a brand new copy of “Five Thousand Years of the Empire (Volume 1)” from a bookshelf.It had been over two months since he arrived in this world. Psionic energy, supernatural abilities, laser guns, bloodline martial artists, ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the Eight Great Star Regions, spaceships, sub-space navigation… all of this felt incredibly new to him.To understand the Empire and his environment comprehensively and accurately, the most direct way was to examine its history.He wanted to see where the Galaxy Empire originated and how it developed into its current structure.Pages rustled, carrying a hint of ink, as Qin Tian immersed himself in the magnificent history of the Empire, like a traveler in the river of time, witnessing the Empire's growth from a god-like perspective.Bloody and brutal wars of civilization one after another.Thrilling cosmic disasters time and again.Legendary leaders whose names were etched in history.The thin pages were so profound, condensing the lives of countless people into a few sentences, a few words.Qin Tian's heart rose and fell with the development of history; he would be happy when the Empire defeated powerful enemies and feel low due to the turmoil caused by natural and man-made disasters.That lonely wandering soul gradually settled, finally gaining a sense of belonging.I am Qin Tian.Major Qin Tian of the Galaxy Empire.…………For half a month straight, besides his regular cultivation, Qin Tian basically spent his time in classrooms and the library.It must be said that although the Special Warfare Department had few students, the teaching staff was truly excellent.In theoretical classes, teachers made subjects like “Special Operations Theory,” “Reconnaissance Theory,” “Mountain Warfare,” and “Urban Warfare” vivid and interesting, combining theory with practice and effortlessly citing various classic cases.Even those rich second-generation students who disliked studying listened intently, unwilling to be distracted.In terms of martial arts, there were combat coaches, saber coaches, sword coaches, and spell coaches… students could freely choose courses, and the coaches would be diligent and responsible, teaching combat techniques, martial arts, and spells.In this environment, every day was fulfilling.During this period, the Special Warfare class gradually became familiar with this transfer student.His strength was very formidable; he had easily defeated Xiang Dongyang, the top student in the class, during a martial arts lesson.However, his personality was too aloof; he always kept to himself and never participated in class activities, giving off an impression of arrogance and being difficult to approach.So, classmates rarely initiated contact with Qin Tian.Qin Tian didn't mind this; the lack of social interaction allowed him to focus on improving himself and quickly catching up on the common sense and knowledge he lacked.Unfortunately, peaceful days are always short-lived. A sudden event disrupted his life rhythm.…………“Hey, hey, hey, big news! Our school just released a large-scale mission. All Spiritual Energy Users can participate, and the academic credit reward is as high as 1000!”Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) Zhu Tianyou ran into the classroom, shouting excitedly.“What? 1000 academic credits!”The classroom immediately erupted. Students quickly logged into the school intranet to check the mission details.“A group of heinous Xingdao (Star Pirates) has entered Silver Gray Star and is currently hiding within Twilight Ridge. Providing clues about their personnel will directly reward 1000 academic credits, and capturing them rewards 3000!”“Wow, 3000! If we can catch them, won't we be able to spend almost an entire year in the Star Origin Tower?”“Sign up quickly!”“Huh, why can't I accept the mission?”Students found that although they could see the mission posted online, they couldn't accept it, which made them quite anxious.3000 academic credits, was it that easy to earn?Looking at the excited students in the classroom, Qin Tian shook his head helplessly.The higher the academic credits, the greater the mission difficulty.Every student understood this principle.However, the words “large-scale collective mission” gave the students a strange sense of security.In fact, this was also one of human characteristics.As long as it was a multi-person collective activity, it would make them lower their judgment of danger.But honestly, Qin Tian was quite interested in this mission too.Catching people might be quite difficult.He was somewhat confident in providing clues.His extremely strong sense of smell, hearing, and heat source perception, as well as the trace tracking techniques he had recently learned in class, all gave him a great advantage in finding people.If the target was truly troublesome, he could also escape through Shadow Leap.“Everyone is discussing this mission.”Just then, a teacher walked into the classroom and said seriously:“Students, although this mission offers generous academic credit rewards, its danger is also relatively high. The school's intention is for the mission to be undertaken in teams of four.”“Now, students who want to take on the mission, please stay. Those not interested can temporarily leave.”After he finished speaking, the classroom was silent; not a single person stood up.For hot-blooded young people, whoever was the first to withdraw in front of the whole class would be branded with the name of a coward for their entire university life.“Since no one is leaving, I will now assign teams based on the class roster and grades.”“Xiang Dongyang, Tan Zijie, Tang Guangyi, Wu Manting.”“Ruan Xianyong, Wang Jun, Yang Feifan, Vivian.”“Andre, Pang Feng, Mika, Wei Yurou.”“…”“…”“Qin Tian, Zhu Tianyou, Xiong Gang, Huang Xiaojia.”“…”When they heard that Qin Tian was going to be on their team, Zhu Tianyou, Xiong Gang, and Huang Xiaojia were instantly dumbfounded.In fact, everyone wanted to be on a team with a master.In everyone's eyes, Qin Tian was undoubtedly a great master, even stronger than Xiang Dongyang.However, this master was too cold and self-centered, always doing his own thing, seeming to disregard everyone else.Being on a team with such a person would definitely be incredibly stressful.After the roster was announced, the three quietly found the teacher, wanting to apply to join other teams, but the teacher's answer was: either follow the assigned groups or withdraw directly.In their helplessness, the three could only accept.“No choice, it has to be this way.”Zhu Tianyou gave a bitter smile, “The three of us need to stick together now. Don't let him bully us.”“Understood.”Xiong Gang and Huang Xiaojia nodded seriously.From a distance, Qin Tian watched the three looking utterly down on their luck and couldn't help but roll his eyes.You three, you really don't know what a thick thigh you've latched onto.Go ahead and secretly rejoice.
