I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 9 - Evolution Points Soar at a Critical Moment


Boom! Boom! Boom!Missiles launched from the rear of the main force, striking directly at Golan Heights.Just then, the top of the highland observation tower burst forth with a seven-colored light, which converged into a water-curtain-like energy shield.When the missiles hit the energy shield, they were like stones striking a lake, only stirring up ripples and unable to cause substantial damage to the highland.Woo~~~~A sudden battlefield horn sounded, as if coming from the deep, distant underground, muffled and oppressive, like the low groan of an ancient beast awakening from slumber.Crack, crack, crack~~~~All the cage latches opened, and the Green-skinned Orcs kicked open the cage doors, picked up the bludgeons from the ground, and roared as they charged down.In an instant, Green-skinned Orcs covered the mountains and plains. From above, it looked like green moss spreading rapidly across the ground.At the same time, a volley of arrows flew from behind Golan Heights. The arrows were thick and long, drawing beautiful and powerful arcs in the air as they rained down on the Imperial Army formation."Fire!!!"As the command post gave the order, the various corps formations began to move.The first phalanx, composed of clone soldiers, dispersed into groups of a few, and in an instant, the entire Golan Heights was engulfed by gunfire.Firearms spewed orange-red flames, each shot accompanied by violent vibrations of the gun body. Bullets, like a swarm of steel bees leaving their hive, flew with sharp whistles, covering the Green-skinned Orcs.Elite troops followed closely behind, wearing even more sophisticated equipment. Some had external skeletons, others had power armor, and they carried submachine guns, providing the second wave of firepower after the clone soldiers.Clang, clang, clang~~Bullets struck the iron armor, leaving dents, and spent casings flew.The armor worn by the Green-skinned Orcs appeared old, but it was made of extraordinary materials, capable of blocking shots from standard rifles.However, if a bullet hit the throat, glabella, eyes, or other such locations, the Green-skinned Orcs could not avoid the fate of death.The battlefield quickly entered a state of fierce intensity.Green-skinned Orcs were shot dead one after another, while at the same time, clones and other elite soldiers were wounded by the arrow rain.At this moment, the Earth Dragon Squad was positioned in the middle-rear of the phalanx, temporarily without orders to participate in the battle."Qin Tian, your marksmanship is accurate. You can stand here and kill more Green-skinned Orcs, and we can also benefit from your military merit points," Xiao Yunlong said.In the Imperial Army, completing missions earned military merit points, which could be used to advance military rank or exchange for important and rare resources, such as advanced firearms, heavenly and earthly treasures, Spiritual Energy User cultivation methods, and so on.In fact, Qin Dadi and his two companions chose to join the army precisely for the military merit point exchange function.Qin Tian is a member of the Earth Dragon Squad. When he earns military merit points, a portion will be distributed to his other three teammates. Likewise, military merit points earned by his other teammates will also be distributed to him.The specific distribution plan is determined by the "Battlefield Sky Eye," ensuring accuracy, fairness, and impartiality."Alright."Qin Tian held his Owl Dragon Rifle with both hands, the muzzle slightly raised. The Green-skinned Orcs charged down from the highland, and his line of sight was unobstructed by friendly forces. Although the distance was a bit far, it was still within the Owl Dragon Rifle's range.Bang~The trigger was pulled, a flash of fire erupted from the gun barrel, and the bullet, like lightning unleashed, carrying a scorching airflow, accurately hit a Green-skinned Orc's eye.The powerful kinetic energy ripped off its skull, and its foul-smelling brain matter splattered onto the ground."Well done."Xiao Yunlong pumped his fist, a wide smile on his face."Evolution Points + 27"A line of text floated across his retina.Qin Tian's eyes lit up. One Green-skinned Orc was worth three Shadow Cats, and their large size and clumsy movements made them the best live targets.Bang~Bang~Bang~The trigger was pulled repeatedly, and behind each gunshot, a Green-skinned Orc was killed by a headshot.In just a few minutes, over a hundred Green-skinned Orcs were shot dead by Qin Tian, a record that made the special squad members nearby extremely envious."Oh my, where did the Earth Dragon Squad find another marksman? I remember Huang Xun wasn't he killed in battle?""It must have been allocated by the military. They're biased, too biased.""I'm not convinced! I want a marksman too!"The special operations teams were green with envy. In normal special operations, a marksman's role might not be as significant as an Esper or a Spiritual Energy User, but on the battlefield, as long as a marksman took a good position, they could instantly become a ruthless military merit point harvesting machine."Don't argue, don't argue, don't affect my lovely teammate's performance."Xiao [N O V E L I G H T] Yunlong handed Qin Tian a new magazine, his mouth almost splitting from smiling. In just a few minutes, they had done nothing and received a considerable amount of military merit points.Is this what it feels like to cling to a powerful figure?Comfortable!Beside them, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao were also full of joy. They suddenly felt that participating in such a large-scale war was actually quite good; they earned military merit points just by standing there.Bang! Bang! Bang!Qin Tian continued to shoot, each shot a headshot.On the system panel, his Evolution Points had already exceeded 2700 and were still increasing, moving towards the 3000 mark.On this cruel and bloody battlefield, at least dozens of lives perished every second. Logically, the deaths of these hundreds of Green-skinned Orcs should be like small splashes, not attracting attention.But Qin Tian's marksmanship was simply too accurate, all hitting the eye sockets for precise headshots, which eventually drew some attention."What amazing marksmanship! Does our legion have a new marksman?"The commander glanced in Qin Tian's direction, his tone carrying a hint of surprise and satisfaction."His face is a bit unfamiliar~"A military officer beside him looked puzzled. Every marksman was a treasure in the legion, and high-ranking officers would remember them clearly, but he had no impression of that marksman at all."Let's just consider it a minor interlude."The commander looked straight ahead, taking in the battle situation, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.The situation wasn't exactly favorable for them~"Reload!"Qin Tian removed the magazine and extended his hand to Xiao Yunlong.Xiao Yunlong quickly handed over the magazine and took back the old one, his movements skilled and fluid.Just as Qin Tian was inserting the new magazine, a sudden sharp pain pierced his temple, as if some disaster was about to strike.Not good, this is Danger Perception.Qin Tian's pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted, "Scatter!"The Earth Dragon Squad reacted very quickly. The moment they heard Qin Tian's warning, they almost instinctively dove to the side, without a moment's hesitation.The next moment, a burning arrow descended from the sky, landing precisely where they had just been standing.Boom!!!Like a landmine Explosion, dirt flew outwards, and the sweeping wind pressure threw Qin Tian, sending him tumbling several times on the ground before he stopped.Qin Tian quickly got up and looked back. When he saw that his teammates were all safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately after, a strong sense of dread surged within him, and cold sweat streamed down his face.If their reaction had been even slightly slower, he and his teammates might have already been reduced to shattered corpses.At this moment, Qin Tian finally glimpsed a corner of the war's cruelty and danger. This was not a slaughterhouse where he could act recklessly; a moment of carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.
