Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 22 Clear Class Distinction

【Eternal Silence of the Void Lv4: Releases a large amount of energy, transforming it into a protective gale that annihilates all incoming non-physical attacks. It can also be unleashed to cause widespread erosion.】

As expected of a red-tier special ability, it can be used for both offense and defense, forming a magic immunity shield and also launching magical attacks!

Just reading the description, Lu Zhao couldn't clearly understand the actual effect of this skill; he had to try it out himself.

The bad news is that he has no energy to release externally, so the current utilization rate of this special skill is 0%.

Good news! I can enlist and learn martial arts the day after tomorrow.

The next day, which was the last day before the expedition, Lu Zhao didn't go anywhere. In the morning, he visited his maternal grandfather with his parents, and spent the rest of the time comforting Gu Jianing.

The next day, on the morning of his enlistment, Lu Zhao packed his luggage. There wasn't much stuff, just some daily necessities and a few changes of clothes.

Zhang Shuhua walked in from outside, holding an envelope in her hand.

"Xiao Zhao, keep this 30,000 safe. Put it in the hidden compartment of your bag. Don't lose it. You'll need cash in some places when you go out."

Lu Zhao had a headache: "Oh my god, I told you I didn't need it. They provide room and board and even pay me a salary. I have nowhere to spend the money."

Zhang Shuhua showed no intention of taking it back: "Just in case we need to buy something, we should have it on hand."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Lu Zhao estimated that she definitely wouldn't need it, but taking it would put her mind at ease.

After getting ready and having breakfast at home, he picked up his suitcase and headed out.

It was already agreed beforehand that family members shouldn't come to see me off, because the military zone is under complete control today. If they wanted to see me off, I wouldn't even be able to get out of the light rail station. There's no point in squeezing inside, and it's not safe either.

"Then I'll be going."

Lu Zhao stood at the door, turned around and looked at the family of three who looked worried. "I'll send back a video when the transport ship resupplyes midway."

"Brother...you said it, don't forget, waaaaah." Gu Jianing waved her hand while crying.

"I won't forget."

Zhang Shuhua tidied his hair: "Keep in touch with your Uncle Lin and ask him to make arrangements as soon as possible. If you have a headache or fever, go see a doctor; it's more convenient than going to a clinic outside. Exercise more, especially running, and be quick-witted if you encounter any danger."

"understood."

Gu Yong confessed, "I... I was just joking when I said I'd be promoted and given a title. It's good that you're back safe and sound."

"I will come back."

Lu Zhao forced a smile, resolutely turned around, and embarked on his journey.

.....

"There might be something wrong with Lin Zhouyun."

Sitting on the light rail, Lu Zhao pondered to himself.

After he went to work as a temporary worker, the other party never contacted him again, not even once. If he hadn't won the favor of Wang Zhao and a group of veteran workers, he might have been forced to work as a laborer on a construction site.

However, we cannot jump to conclusions. After all, things haven't really reached that point yet, and who knows if they would lend a helping hand if it did happen?

Hey.

My phone suddenly vibrated.

[Chen Qinhu: I've arrived at my stop.]

Lu Zhao glanced at the route map and replied: "It should be the next train. Just get on; I'm in the last carriage."

Soon enough, the two met on the light rail; they had arranged to go to the military post together the day before.

"What's wrong with you? You're already looking so gloomy before you've even gone to the battlefield," Lu Zhao asked.

Chen Qinhu took a deep breath, his well-developed pectoral muscles bulging, his tiger-like eyes filled with tears, and he choked out, "I miss home..."

You've only been out for ten minutes!

Lu Zhao was speechless and could only suppress his laughter as he comforted them, "Look ahead. When you return victorious and become a general, you can bring your parents to a better place and let them enjoy a life of luxury."

Chen Qinhu imagined the scene of returning home in glory, and his sorrow subsided slightly.

Lu Zhao also took the initiative to chat about random things to help him distract himself.

This guy is great in every way, except he's a coward. When he says he misses home, it's really just a fear of the Great Expedition.

The two quickly arrived at the military zone. After the zone was secured and unauthorized personnel were isolated, the road leading to the outpost was still bustling with activity as many young recruits dragged their luggage to report for duty.

It can only be said that, compared to before the time travel, the Qin Dynasty's system has its advantages. For example, the enlistment of new soldiers does not require prior organization by street. It only requires setting a deadline, and people must show up before the deadline.

Anyway, the whole family of those who deliberately avoid military service will be punished. If you have the guts, don't come here.

The two went to the military station together, randomly joined a registration line, and it took them more than ten minutes to get to the front. After swiping their IDs, the manager said, "Go to the welcome area on Tiema Street to register."

.....

Iron Horse Street is a street in the military zone, located about two or three kilometers from the military post. Because it is completely under control, there are no outsiders or irrelevant personnel on the street, only new recruits and patrolling veterans.

A wooden table was set up on the street, with a roster on it and two civilian staff members dressed in Qin army black uniforms sitting on it.

After Lu Zhao and his companion went up to register, each of them was given a key.

"304, 409, go up and put your luggage down first."

One of the civilian staff members pointed with his thumb to the eight-story building behind him, saying, "You are not allowed to leave this building. Wait for further instructions."

"yes!"

Lu Zhao then led Chen Qinhu upstairs.

"Go check your 304 first."

Chen Qinhu was now drawn to the new environment and his mood had improved. He scratched his head and said, "Are we going to have to stay here for a while longer?"

"I don't know."

Lu Zhao was a time traveler from another place, so he couldn't possibly understand such things.

Upon arriving at room number four on the third floor, Chen Qinhu unlocked the door with his key. The room was laid out like a hotel, with white sheets and blankets, a wooden table and two wooden chairs, and a separate toilet and shower.

"Damn, these conditions are pretty good," Lu Zhao exclaimed.

Chen Qinhu laughed too: "Yeah, I thought it must be tough in the military camp."

"Okay, you rest first. I'll go check my room and then I'll find you."

After giving him his instructions, Lu Zhao went up to the seventh floor and used the key to open the door to room 709.

?

Did I go to the wrong place?

Lu Zhao stared at the room, momentarily stunned.

To the right of the door is a rough four-compartment metal cabinet used for storing clothes. The middle section is empty, without even a long table.

On the left, against the wall, there are two metal bunk beds. The front one has people on both the upper and lower bunks. The person on the upper bunk is lying on the bed playing on their phone, while the person on the lower bunk is still folding their blanket.

The second bed was empty, with only a palm mattress, and unlike Chen Qinhu's room, it wasn't already made up.

"Hello, is this the recruit dormitory?" Lu Zhao asked tentatively.

The person in the upper bunk sat up abruptly. He had slightly wavy black hair, fair skin, and wore glasses.

"Hehe, what else could it be but a kitchen?"

He found the newcomer quite interesting. "You're also in our dorm? Nice to meet you, my name is Murong Can."

The person on the lower bunk had also folded their blanket, turned around, revealing a dark face, and said with a simple smile, "My name is Yang Mingliang."

Wow, your skin is so dark it looks like it's been frosted, and you call that bright?

Lu Zhao muttered to himself, introduced himself, and then asked, "Why are we in four-person rooms here? My friend's dorm room was a single room."

Both of them were stunned upon hearing this, and Murong Can immediately jumped off the bed.

"A single room?! Your friend's talent score must be at least 80 or higher, right?"

When it came to Chen Qinhu's "privacy," Lu Zhao didn't reveal anything without permission, but simply asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Harmful."

Murong Can said, "Our Qin army has a clear class system. The more outstanding you are, the better your conditions will be. Those who live in single rooms are the ones who scored high during the medical examination. Your talent is definitely better than the average person, which is why you are in one of our four-person rooms."

He pointed to the ceiling: "Those people up there with less than 50 points of talent live in a dormitory-style room with dozens of people."
