Chapter 260

"Meaning, you provide resource supplies, then work for the Boss, and you don't need to pay any compensation?"

The short-haired woman had to admit, even though she had worked herself to death as a cow and horse at Xu Yang Heavy Industry for so many years, and seen countless mean and stingy managers, hearing Qin Shi's matter-of-fact demand still inevitably made her blood pressure spike and veins bulge.

"The Western Front Battlefield's progress lags far behind the Eastern Front."

Qin Shi gradually slowed his footsteps; despite such rapid running, his heartbeat barely changed, and he spoke very steadily:

"But the First Defense System centered on Baiyang Bi Lei Cheng is still continuously reinforcing. What does this indicate?

I feel the Western Front's strategy is like planning to use one massive victory to swallow the pollution zone thousands of kilometers deep in one go, establishing the advance situation!

So, I suspect there will soon be a large-scale campaign of extremely high intensity here."

The short-haired woman's tightly furrowed brows involuntarily relaxed.

Her mind turned quickly; she rapidly realized what this young Boss wanted to convey.

The short-haired woman's gaze was rather strange.

A Huangquan Training Camp recruit actually started considering participating in a large-scale campaign, accumulating war merit?

What's the difference between this and not having graduated middle school yet, but already wondering which of the Four Great National Universities to choose?

However, considering this young Boss's astonishing strength, even the Disaster Second Energy Tier Human-faced Spider Familiar was shattered by a single punch from him.

Based on such performance, he is fully qualified for the Vanguard Battalion's elite combat unit.

If his "personal results" stand out a bit more, sitting in a position wielding "Command Authority" isn't impossible either.

But honestly, in a large-scale campaign with mobilized troops exceeding tens of thousands and a front line stretching over a thousand kilometers, unless one is Third Energy Tier, ranked as a Jiang Jun, possessing the terrifying destructiveness to pierce through defensive fortresses.

Otherwise, an individual soldier's influence is minuscule, unable to stir up much of a splash.

"Boss, you wouldn't be saying that as long as our Cow and Horse Squad keeps supplying you with materials, you can sway a large-scale campaign's victory and become a pivotal figure on the Western Front Battlefield, right?"

The short-haired woman seemed to sniff a trace of pie fragrance, immediately raising her vigilance.

As a workplace cow and horse, she had long been familiar with all kinds of classic empty-promise rhetoric.

"That's right."

Qin Shi nodded calmly, gaze tranquil:

"Don't you believe it?"

The young Boss's confident tone stunned the short-haired woman for a moment, then she seriously pondered just how great this possibility was.

"Boss, you just completed your First Evolution; theoretically speaking, you won't have a second evolution opportunity for three months."

Watermelon Head reminded in a low voice.

She also felt the Boss was a bit like a master of painting pies.

Not everyone can distinguish themselves on the battlefield.

"Do you think I'm a genius?"

Qin Shi asked.

"Of course."

The short-haired woman and Watermelon Head spoke in unison.

This young Boss speedran the Bian Dian Zhan, brushing away the Xu Kong beast herds like clearing trash mobs, then took down Pompeii and Ti Ya, those two Human-faced Spider elites; all these battle achievements displayed his formidable strength.

Calling him a genius would be an understatement; it is absolutely a top-tier Chaoyang Level performance.

"The meaning of a genius's existence is to break conventions. This is what Teacher told me."

Qin Shi's tone was flat, as if stating a fact.

"I feel I can shine on the Western Front Battlefield. As elite employees of a Big Company, you should understand the best profit point for a stock is before it starts rising.

Of course, whether to seize the opportunity lies entirely with you."

Damn, got played!

The short-haired woman listened until her head spun; this young Boss was like Haizhou Finance's ace Sales Champion.

Every sentence was like the Chaos Great Demon's whisper, making her unable to stop her heart from wavering.

"Boss, you wouldn't be planning to scam money and run away, would you?"

She asked hesitantly.

"I am a conscripted recruit on the Western Front Battlefield; if I leave the defense zone without authorization, I'll be directly treated as a 'deserter' and stripped of Dongxia Citizenship."

Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders, indicating the other party had absolutely no need to worry about this point.

"This is a very simple cooperation; I hope to obtain real-time supplies beyond the Bi Lei Cheng resource supply, as well as logistics and security needs.

As for you guys, Xu Yang Heavy Industry's P9 Position is probably the limit for your squad.

With so few personnel, it's impossible to establish merit that decides the battle situation; wanting to become an Independent Studio, work for yourselves, and escape the company's exploitation and oppression is very difficult.

But I can give you this opportunity."

The short-haired woman's eyes flickered, as if infected by Qin Shi's intense confidence.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled bitterly:

"Boss, what exactly is your background? Can you come clean? Our squad's total annual resource exchange quota for expenses can at most sustain one campaign."

Qin Shi smiled without speaking; he felt the other party's professional specialty, finding fatal weaknesses, could cooperate very well with his own numerical anomaly self.

If the upcoming Western Front Battlefield has the Cow and Horse Squad's full cooperation, the speed of farming points and establishing merit would be enough to accumulate rapidly like a snowball.

After a sigh, the short-haired woman extended her palm:

"Boss, this Contract will remain in effect until the Western Front war ends."

Qin Shi likewise extended his hand, gripping the other's.

"Let me introduce myself: Long Qiuyuan, Xu Yang Heavy Industry P9, professional cow and horse, workplace corporate slave, pleasant cooperation."

The short-haired woman carrying Double Blades proactively gave her name; a blazing white Spiritual Field Imprint emerged on the back of her hand, symbolizing the two had finalized a Contract.

"Surname Long, that new generation Ten Outstanding rising star Long Danzi, what relationship do you have with her?"

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow. Long wasn't a major surname; upon learning the short-haired woman's real name, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Seems like a distant cousin; met once or twice during holidays."

Long Qiuyuan said with a smile.

"Boss, Boss, it's my turn."

Watermelon Head also joined the fun, extending his little hand, eyes full of expectation.

"My name is 'Ye Xiaotang', Xu Yang Heavy Industry... aiyah aiyah, Captain, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Watermelon Head, like an orange cat grabbed by the scruff of its neck, was lifted away by Long Qiuyuan.

"Nonsense, I'm the Captain; covenanting — where does it get to be your turn!"

Long Qiuyuan said angrily.

The Support Team's rule is to address by code name.

The act of introducing one's real name, a full disclosure, belongs to deep cooperation premised on a certain trust foundation.

"I really am surnamed Qin."

Qin Shi also showed sincerity, speaking seriously.

Long Qiuyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes; Chen, Lin, Qin, Zheng are all major surnames in Hengzhou — throw a brick randomly and who knows how many you'd hit.

"Got it, Boss."

Long Qiuyuan took out Energy Liquid from his Tactical Backpack and shoved it hard into Qin Shi's hand:

"Drink a bit more, Boss! I'm waiting to see you slaughter in all directions, make your name resound on the Western Front!"

Qin Shi took the sealed iron can, glug glug glug chugged it down, replenishing the deficit consumption of his whole body's Hundred Bones.

He slowly realized that even a Great Master, or a Half-step Martial God, the influence exerted on the individual level is actually very limited.

At most, it's just Star-shattering Level!

Compared to the destructiveness caused by cosmic natural disasters, it can be said to be utterly insignificant.

A terrifying disaster left unchecked could even turn an entire star domain into a death zone.

Therefore, upon stepping into Martial God, one also obtains the "Disaster Level" Honorary Title.

Used to express the terrifying Combat Power of Their existence.

"Fleet, Civilization, Pillar..."

Qin Shi pondered the information clues obtained from the prior Spiritual Resonance, from Qin Shuai, and even the Deputy Commander, and thought of the "Virtual World" contained within the Great Universe Server.

"Martial God is the end of the path, and should also be the individual's limit. The road after, if it needs to go upward, must tend toward the macro level?"

He chugged down ten bottles of Energy Liquid in one go, making every cell in his body boil incomparably, even his thoughts stimulated to unusual activity.

"What exactly is a large-scale campaign? Really want to see it."

Several thousand kilometers from Baiyang Bi Lei Cheng, near the Pollution Zone's Border Region, the Seventh War Corps' Defense Camp is stationed here.

A heavy-duty Truck stopped in the Wilderness; Jiang Shijie, responsible for patrol, was undergoing his comrades' "settling of accounts".

"Old Jiang, let me put it this way — thank goodness the Regiment Commander has a good temper and didn't clean you up; otherwise, you losing to that high school kid, you'd definitely be sent to detention!"

"How exactly did you lose? That Qin-surnamed kid, even if he started cultivating Life Force from the womb, he shouldn't be able to smash you, right?"

"Old Jiang might have been careless! Come to think of it, Old Lin, Old Wu, you two tell me — what exactly happened!"

Lin Xiong and Wu Yong, hugging two big spears, looked at each other in dismay, not knowing how to respond.

"I just haven't fought him before."

Jiang Shijie laughed self-mockingly:

"Don't make excuses for me, don't find reasons. I'm inferior in skill, I willingly bow down; the other party's fists are indeed hard enough, I lose with total conviction."

The remaining squad members couldn't help but be stunned; they knew Jiang Shijie's strength well — an Elite Sequence Soldier who'd placed in several martial competitions, a proper War God Preparatory Soldier.

In army terms, that's Soldier King Level!

"Qin Classmate's Specialized Domain trait is 'Amplification', but his Life Force Purity is extremely high, elevating this trait to an inconceivable degree."

Jiang Shijie said with a bitter smile:

"Tenfold Amplification! Meaning, the moment he deploys his Specialized Domain, his Combat Power can surge tenfold!"

These words stunned everyone, including Lin Xiong and Wu Yong — one lying in the hospital, one not having been to the battlefield personally, neither had figured it out at all.

So hearing Jiang Shijie reveal the inside story of that battle's loss, both were somewhat astonished.

Combat Power surging tenfold?

What kind of perverted trait is this?

"A blank slate's Specialized Domain trait can be raised to this extent?"

Suspicion showed in Lin Xiong's eyes; this undoubtedly shattered his understanding a bit.

"If Life Force Purity is extremely high, and the Inheritance is also extremely powerful, it can indeed let an ordinary Specialized Domain trait break through the Upper Limit."

Wu Yong frowned, recalling the terrifying momentum when Qin Shi unleashed Tenfold Amplification, clicked his tongue and said:

"But pulling 'Amplification' to tenfold — this kid's Foundation is truly deep to an exaggerated degree. Even a Supernova Genius might hit their limit at threefold to fivefold."

Jiang Shijie hugged his steel rifle, gazed at the boundless Wilderness, his face showing a few traces of melancholy:

"You know what's most terrifying? This might not even be Qin Classmate's limit.

If he keeps widening the Upper Limit, tenfold only counts as the starting point."

Lin Xiong and Wu Yong looked at each other, shock appearing in their eyes.

Tenfold Amplification is enough to support fighting across several Rankings.

If it goes even higher, then wouldn't that be...

Both of them thought of an exclusive rank belonging to the First Generation Ten Greats—Invincible in the Same Realm!

"If you're bad, practice more; that's the army's logic."

Jiang Shijie's gaze was firm as he said to the other team members:

"I've already reported to the instructor; after this joint defense operation, we will head to the He Xie Star Region to participate in suppressing bandits."

Warriors must ultimately undergo the tempering of blood and fire before they can become something."

Wu Yong and Lin Xiong were both surprised, then showed understanding expressions.

The fastest path to promotion in the Seventh War Corps is the bandit-suppression operations in the He Xie Star Region.

Fighting those guerrilla raiding bands with wits and courage carries high danger and casualty rates.

They are either desperadoes or depraved followers who have converted to the Secret Sect.

"News from headquarters! Let us drive the Rakshasa Ants to the Pollution Zone five hundred kilometers to the west!"

Wu Yong was about to say something to break the oppressive atmosphere when a crackling current came into his ears, immediately followed by the mission being issued.

"Strange, Rakshasa Ants are relatively gentle Vassal Creatures? If we forcibly drive them away, it will instead provoke their ferocity."

Jiang Shijie felt confusion, and he looked toward Wu Yong:

"What place is five hundred li to the west?"

The latter answered:

"A Level Three nest of Human-faced Spiders, an Administrative Building."
