VCRMM: Chapter 143 Part 2

After around three or four days, most of the players no longer had the weekly order. Xu Sili saw the number of those in the sixth army had plummeted and finally accepted Admiral Joyce’s advice to replenish the army with NPC soldiers.

They were well-trained NPC soldiers and the efficiency was naturally incomparable to players.

After experiencing Balance and Sprouting and finding that they no longer had to worry about the attacks of the interstellar beasts, they burst out with amazing combat power.

The depression and anger that had accumulated in their hearts for a long time were vented without reservation, turning into stormy attacks that smashed toward the interstellar beasts.

By the end of the day’s battle, many of the NPC soldiers had an epiphany and advanced. This even included some ordinary soldiers.

These ordinary soldiers insisted on practicing the body tempering method and meditation technique every day. They didn’t expect that under today’s experience and listening to Sprouting countless times, they actually directly broke through the shackles of ordinary people and became elementalists!

These soldiers still couldn’t believe it even when Xu Sili told them to report to the Elementalist Academy after going back.

“Your Majesty… are your words true?”

“Could it be a mistake?”

“Can we really become elementalists? You aren’t mistaken, right?”

The soldiers who advanced on the battlefield like god killers were now like fragile children. They had dazed and incredulous emotions on their faces.

Xu Sili couldn’t help laughing and scolding them, “Don’t you even believe the words of a three star elementalist? Go as soon as you are told. You are probably the first ordinary people in the nation to achieve results after practicing the basic methods.”

This proved that the talent theory was wrong. It was as Xu Sili speculated before. Anyone who had Escher’s bloodline had the talent!

It was just that the talent was strong or weak. Even so, it was possible to strengthen weak talent after hard training.

Such gratifying results were worth reporting. Xu Sili didn’t plan to hide it. With these examples, ordinary people would be more motivated to train!

He immediately contacted Qiu Zheng and asked him to arrange it as soon as possible, so that they could do a live broadcast while the soldiers were doing talent tests.

The administrative hall of the imperial palace.

Qiu Zheng received the news and was stunned for a while before realizing.

“Yes, Your Majesty! I will arrange it right away!”

Qiu Zheng hung up and quickly contacted Wen Jishan.

He was very efficient when doing paperwork so he was valued by His Majesty and the marshal, but in the end, he was just an ordinary person without elemental talent.

He was already envied by others when he was the marshal’s adjutant and it was even more so when he was promoted to administrator.

He survived in the end and handled the affairs entrusted to him by the emperor, but the bitterness and sorrows he experienced couldn’t be understood by others.

Just now, His Majesty gave him the most sincere hope. Someone really succeeded while training in the basic methods!

There was no one in the Roland Empire who didn’t want to become an elementalist.

These soldiers hadn’t taken the talent test yet, but Qiu Zheng didn’t doubt the authenticity of this matter. After all, if His Majesty said so, it must be the case!

He finished the call with the emperor and didn’t immediately contact the media, but called Wen Jishan.

Brother Ji was also an ordinary person. He believed that after Brother Ji heard the news, he would be just as happy and crazy!

On the other side, Xu Sili naturally heard Qiu Zheng’s strangeness. This kid’s voice was choked up, as if he was about to cry.

This also made him decide on a time in the future to go to the administrative hall to play the flute for him, Wen Jishan and others to stimulate their elemental affinity.

To be honest, he could be so idle now and do his own things due to these two capable ministers.

He couldn’t imagine what it would be like to lose them, so he would help them become elementalists as soon as possible to extend their lives!

He thought so. Then he woke up from his thoughts and saw the players comforting the soldiers.

The players probably saw them crying and thought they had encountered a problem. They wanted to run over to take the opportunity to increase the favorability and see what tasks they could receive. Players had always been good at seeing opportunities for profit.

The simple and kind soldiers were very touched by their comfort and shared their joy.

Under these teachings, players felt like they had more of an understanding of the background of Starry Sky Age.

At the same time, they couldn’t help complaining.

There was also ‘compulsory education.’ The game group was really good at doing things!

Having fought together, their relationship had changed.

Xu Sili also felt happy when seeing their harmonious appearance.

At least this time, there wasn’t the tragedy of players attacking the city as recorded in the future forum…

Finally, the group of people came back with joy and laughter.

The next day, the NPC soldiers who broke through were replaced and a new batch of fighters was added. They were still super efficient and swept away all the interstellar beasts that could be seen like a bulldozer.

The players who insisted on completing the daily missions every day since the start of the second closed beta, even after the battle of the Glass Sea Plains started, eventually got six weekly orders.

They became the envy of all players and Ah Caizi was one of them.

She originally thought that the upgrade speed during the first three days was fierce enough. She didn’t expect it to increase even more in the last two days!

Now she had reached lv 28. It was unimaginable when she was only in her 10s a week ago.

Besides the water healing technique, she also learned the attack type water skills from the newly joined NPC soldiers. After freezing them, the lethality of water skills was also very strong!

This was a profession that could attack and defend. She could also be a healer! It made her completely change her previous regret about choosing the water type spiritual elementalist.

Naturally, happy days always passed faster.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed and the sixth army completely lost all the players. The NPC soldiers had also figured out a better monster clearing mode.

After this week of raids, the interstellar beasts on the plains were terrified and now ran away when they saw humans. They even ran away when only smelling them.

The army dared to advance to the plains even without Xu Sili’s blessings. For the first time, they were undamaged as they crossed the Glass Sea Plains and reached Glass Sea City from Imperial City.

So far, they had regained two-thirds of the land of the Glass Sea Plains. There were groups of interstellar beasts roaming the remaining land but they weren’t a threat to the army.

Admiral Joyce never dreamed that things could go so smoothly.

The point was that no one was killed this time!

It was unavoidable to be injured in battle, especially some interstellar beasts who were poisonous and had strange attacks, but no one died.

Due to the equal distribution of damage and the effect of Sprouting, none of them died immediately. There were also water healing masters in the team and almost 99% of injuries could be healed. It wasn’t easy to die.

After this battle, Xu Sili’s reputation with the army was pushed to a new height. It was still a certain distance from ‘Faith’ but it was excellent.

Xu Sili was tired and numb from a busy week of fighting every day.

Players could lower the sense of realism and had the automatic blocking of the game system, but he really lived here.

So when Xu Yuheng persuaded him to slow down his pace a bit or he would be unable to hold on, Xu Sili agreed without thinking too much.

There were now no players participating and it was easier for the game group to catch a handle and make things difficult. Perhaps he should wait for the players to save up enough weekly orders. He could use this opportunity for a break.

Therefore, he announced that they had achieved a phased victory on the Glass Sea Plains and the news that had been suppressed for a week exploded throughout the empire in an instant, igniting the enthusiasm of all the people.

It was impossible to know the specific details of the party. No matter whether it was Xu Sili’s skills or the racial characteristics of the players, these were all military secrets.

There was no need for Xu Sili’s reminder. The traitor incident of Orchid Moon City was only a few months ago and the ministers still remembered it vividly.

The shame of half the high level combat power of Orchid Moon City being infiltrated hadn’t been washed away and the high level traitor, Bryce, hadn’t been caught. They naturally wouldn’t be stupid enough to provide information to the traitors.

Only the results of the battle were announced but this was enough for the entire empire to celebrate for three days and nights.

Xu Sili didn’t attend the celebration party.

Once the battle was over, he slept for a whole day and night.

He had slept during this week but he dreamed of playing the flute or the broken limbs of interstellar beasts flying all over the sky. This was completely different from his mentality after the battle ended.

Once he woke up, it was already the morning of the third day and he felt like he had come back to life. Si Sheng bought him breakfast and threw him down.

It was a pity that the two of them couldn’t do anything for long. They were interrupted by the sound of the communicator.

It was the liaison office of the Interstellar Alliance— Adrian.

Xu Sili had to let Si Sheng go. He got up and ate breakfast obediently under the other person’s helpless and doting eyes. Then he answered the liaison officer’s call request.

“Your Majesty, good morning.”

Adrian’s figure emerged on the light curtain.

“You asked me to pay attention to the matter with Dr Ding Mingyu. Today, there were results from the Flanders Interstellar Federation.”

Xu Sili suddenly became interested. “Oh? What did they say? Are they going to save him?”

It had been a week or two and he didn’t know if the old gentleman and his sister who were kidnapped by the star thieves were cold now.

Adrian’s expression showed a bit of regret. “I’m sorry. I’ve received news from the liaison officer of the Flanders Interstellar Federation that they have refused to rescue him.”
