Chapter 46: The Military's Attention

Watching Qin Mu's confident demeanor, Li Shun smiled and then, in front of Qin Mu, pressed a button on his tactical watch, activating the communication function.

"Qin Mu, you might not know this, but when He Jingtian and the others reported your situation to the higher-ups, the entire upper echelon was shocked. So, before we discuss the matter of selling monsters, I need to talk to you about something else." Li Shun did not press for details on the number of monsters but instead changed the subject.

"Do you know what it means to be able to tame monsters on a large scale, even Horde Leader rank monsters?"

"Because of your situation, the military's highest level has convened an emergency meeting. Our current conversation is being transmitted in real-time. Even the founder of our Huashan organization, Chairman Jia Yi, is listening." With that, Li Shun paused, his tone becoming serious.

"Next, I will ask you some questions, and I hope you will answer them truthfully. They will determine your corresponding treatment based on your answers."

Seeing Li Shun's expression, Qin Mu also became solemn. The military was finally taking him seriously, not just as an upstart genius or a promising talent like before.

Li Shun looked at Qin Mu earnestly. "Qin Mu, when did you awaken as a spirit master?"

Qin Mu answered without hesitation. "July 21st."

Li Shun asked again. "Qin Mu, has your strength now reached the level of a primary Wargod spirit master?"

Qin Mu replied seriously. "Yes, I am now a primary Wargod spirit master."

Li Shun asked. "Your awakened spirit master talent allows you to tame a large number of monsters, even Horde Leader rank monsters."

Qin Mu did not hesitate at all. "Yes."

Li Shun's face clearly showed joy as he asked. "Is there any limitation to your talent?"

Qin Mu hesitated slightly this time before answering. "I haven't discovered any limitations yet."

Li Shun continued to ask several questions, mainly related to beast taming. Qin Mu answered them one by one. As long as they were not related to the Zerg swarm, Qin Mu did not hide anything. He skipped over anything involving the Zerg.

While the two were talking, in a virtual space. In a large conference hall with a minimalist style, there was only a conference table and more than a dozen chairs. The chairs were filled with people, each with stars shining on their shoulders. One officer sent a document to the others.

"Everyone, this is Qin Mu's information. Both of his parents were military personnel. On July 1st this year, he became a prospective fighter and then entered the wilderness alone, awakening his spirit master talent. During the practical exam, on August 1st, his strength reached the advanced warrior rank and intermediate Warlord spirit master, showing a strong talent for spirit control and beast taming."

"According to the information, his beast taming ability was still immature and not fully developed during the practical exam. After joining the military, he purchased weapons and equipment such as 'Destroyer' and 'Spirit Master Basics' and entered the wilderness again. Until today, in just over half a month, his strength has reached the intermediate Warlord rank and primary Wargod spirit master. He has tamed a primary Horde Leader rank Black Crowned Golden Eagle and a large number of Commander rank monsters."

After saying this, the officer sent another document to the others. "These are Qin Mu's daily records and analyses of his character, behavior, and so on."

An officer finished reading all the documents and spoke. "I believe that with Qin Mu's talent, he is definitely top-tier. In just over a month, he has gone from a prospective fighter to the primary Wargod rank, deserving of the highest level of cultivation."

"I second that. If such a genius slows down in strength improvement due to resource issues, it would be a disgrace to the military and China."

"I second that. From the analysis of the information, it can be seen that he has a strong sense of belonging to China and the military, and he harbors extreme hostility towards monsters."

"With his talent, reaching the peak of the advanced Wargod, or even becoming an invincible Wargod, is not a problem. It's even possible for him to become a Planetary rank expert. If he can tame a large number of high-level Horde Leader monsters, or even King rank monsters, perhaps the turning point in the war against monsters lies with him."

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, acknowledging the talent Qin Mu had shown. Of course, there were also some who expressed concerns.

"The highest level of cultivation is fine, but we can't overprotect him. Otherwise, we'll ruin him." An officer with a serious expression said.

"We will keep a close eye on him. We won't really cultivate him like a flower in a garden. This kid has a tough streak in his bones. Before becoming a fighter, his talent wasn't obvious, but he trained himself to the point of exhaustion just to become one. After becoming a prospective fighter, he actually dared to enter the wilderness alone to hunt monsters. I'm more worried that he's too aggressive." Another officer said with a smile.

In the end, everyone's opinions were unified, and a contract was drafted, ready to be sent to Li Shun for communication with Qin Mu. However, a black-clad man sitting at the head of the conference table, who had not spoken until now, opened his mouth.

"Add another condition to the terms: give him a Spirit of Nature, from my private collections, to help him grow faster. As for his future growth issues, Jiang Long, you will be responsible for that."

"What? Chairman, you actually want to give him a Spirit of Nature?" An officer next to him was shocked, obviously very surprised.

"Just do it."

On the other side, as soon as Li Shun and Qin Mu's conversation ended, Li Shun's tactical watch on his wrist vibrated, and a message came in. Li Shun took a look and was shocked by the message.

"Qin Mu, this is a contract from the higher-ups. Decide for yourself whether to sign it or not." With that, he sent the message to Qin Mu, his expression filled with envy.

Qin Mu looked at Li Shun in confusion and lowered his head to check the message. It was an invitation letter, an invitation from the Huashan organization within the military, not the contract for selling monsters that Qin Mu had imagined. He had never hidden his talent, and finally, the military was taking him seriously. It was like when Luo Feng entered the elite training camp and showed his talent, he was valued by the Limit Dojo and signed a contract.

Qin Mu opened the contract and examined it carefully. This contract was of a much higher level than the one Qin Mu had signed before. There were rights, benefits, and of course, responsibilities.

"One hundred billion yuan in annual activity funds?" Qin Mu nodded secretly. This was no small amount. However, this was just the beginning.

"The military will directly provide the complete set of 'Destroyer' manuals? The complete set of 'Spirit Master Basics'? A set of A9 grade weapons tailored for him."

Qin Mu was shocked. According to market value, the two sets of manuals alone were worth 200 billion. Not to mention, there was also a set of A9 grade weapons tailored for him.

"Black God Suit! They are giving me a Black God Suit? But in the future, when my strength is stronger, I have to retrieve a set of Black God suit from the ruins and return it to the organization. That's no problem."

Just as Qin Mu thought this was the end, a line at the bottom of the page made Qin Mu admire the military's generosity even more. Because the military had given him a Spirit of Nature, the Thousand Year Willow Heart.

What was a Spirit of Nature? It was a treasure even more powerful than dragon blood, a non-renewable treasure of heaven and earth. The Thousand Year Willow Heart had two effects: one was to increase cell activity, and the second was to greatly enhance physical strength.

Luo Feng first consumed dragon blood in the elite training camp, raising his physical fitness from intermediate Warlord to primary Wargod, and his spirit power reached the advanced Wargod level. Later, on Mist Island, he consumed a Thousand Year Willow Heart, and his physical fitness jumped from primary Wargod directly to advanced Wargod, and his spirit power reached the peak of the advanced Wargod, achieving the level of an invincible Wargod.

Qin Mu had expected that the military, knowing his talent, would invest resources to cultivate him, which was why he had always shown his talent. But he never expected the military to be so generous. It was completely beyond Qin Mu's expectations.

As for the corresponding responsibilities, they were not too harsh. The contract even directly stated that for a short period, Qin Mu's main focus should be on improving his strength and not to be distracted by other matters. He could still go to the Jiangnan First Military Academy to study, and his permissions were greatly increased, with many research rooms directly open to him. There was no mention of selling monsters to the military in the contract, but it was left for Qin Mu and Li Shun to discuss separately.

"I'll sign this contract." Qin Mu answered without hesitation. With such generous terms, he would be a fool not to sign it.
