Chapter 52: Pick

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Since they've joined the Nine Mountains Army camp, the Overgod Palace naturally sent a reminder of Side Quest Mission's completion.

Wu Ming drank wine and ate meat before resting overnight. On the second day, Xiao Jidu was going to Liu Jie to listen to the orders.

Tooth soldiers are close to their masters day and night, with different sentiments and different opportunities for promotion.

Wu Ming took Yuan Tai to the recruit camp.

After verifying their respective identities, an officer with two small beards and a shrewd face brought Wu Ming to the camp.

"Two thousand new pawns are here. According to the system, you can only choose one by one…"

These new recruits are all formed according and were formed by temporary 10-Men Commanders, and their strength is average. To pull one, one must take the whole group away.

Moreover, the seeds of tooth soldiers and fierce generals have already been screened to be under various authorities.

"As a Squadron Leader, you can choose five units, then go to the military arsenal, and choose fifty knives and spears, five leather armor and miscellaneous stuff like bedding and cooking utensils…"

After the officer finished speaking, he went silent.

"Yuan Tai!"

Wu Ming winked, Yuan Tai immediately forward with a smile on his face and stuffed a few things in secret.

The officer sank his hand and his eyes glanced and saw golden light. Almost dazzled, he brought a smile on his face: "But Squadron Leader Wu is a Nine Mountains talent, and naturally can have preferential treatment and choose another team!"

The golden leaves were collected without a trace and secretly counted them and gritted his teeth: "Also, within ten barracks, you can take whoever you like!"

This is the privilege of a Battalion Leader, even a Guard General.

"Thank you!"

Wu Ming didn't act pretentious and immediately stepped forward, walking through each camp, looking at each one carefully.

The spiritual eyes opened, and in an instant, all kinds of stars; gray, black, or red, appeared one after another.

Although it has been picked once by the chiefs of each city, there are still many seeds left in these two thousand people.

'I have this Heavenly Eye, it's almost like a dragon-slaying technique!'

Wu Ming saw it one by one and was overjoyed when he saw mostly Black and White Qi but also a little bit of red, and a few seedlings mixed with starlight.

Even if he goes to other worlds and becomes an ordinary person, relying on this wondrous technique, he can surely rise.

'It's a pity… Ordinary observers cannot be so clear. Not to mention, the backlash…"

He knew in his heart that without the True Vision privilege of the Overgod Apostle, corresponding to opening the Overgod Palace, he may not have such insights. Perhaps, even a Heavenly Master True Daoist wouldn't compare.

"Although the Qi Observing Technique can only see one's fate and luck. The luck is not necessarily strong but talented, it's inseparable…"

After a hasty look, he ordered eight out of the forty people to come out: "This one, this one, and this one… this one, come out of the line!"

"Well? So fast?"

The officer who received the bribe was a little worried. In the past, when the teams came over, which one didn't spend a long time carefully selecting? How can this big customer take a few random glances and be sure?

After looking at it carefully, these eight Five-Men teams can only say that they are average, and he can't help but say: "As long as it is within today, it is all right. Don't you want to wait longer to choose?"

"The force is average so it is made casual. I still look forward to the ten men you promised me!"

In fact, he has carefully watched these eight groups of people. Their appearance looks the same as the others, but they are slightly higher than the others in their own luck and destiny. They are also mixed with a little bit of Scarlet Qi and starlight.

According to Wu Ming's conclusions based on Wu Qing's formulas and his own observations, the Qi is based on the form and color.

Regardless of the form, the color speaks for itself.

Black Qi stands for great misfortune but also Army Qi.

White Qi is for ordinary people when it is round and full but if there's a hint of black and gray, it is harmful.

Scarlet Qi is higher, but it shouldn't be something that ordinary people should have.

"What are you waiting for, 5-Men Commanders? Don't you want to come out?!"

Seeing Wu Ming's determination, the officer also drank.

Immediately, eight brawny men came out, knelt on one knee, and saluted: "I have seen Squadron Leader!"

"Well, get up!"

Just under this worship, Wu Ming could see on the top of the 40 people a slightly scarlet cloud mixed with starlight.

And every day, some of the Nine Mountains Squadron Leader's righteous luck emerged out of thin air and added it to his own fate.

"The official position is supported by the subordinates, contributing to the luck while on the top, the simple promotion of an official expends the Luck Qi of the system…"

When Wu Ming saw it, he suddenly felt enlightened.

As an official in a leadership position with real power, he is in charge of fifty people and naturally received their Luck Qi, gathering it in one.

As a Nine Mountains Squadron Leader, he naturally has to divide his luck from the system.

In general, the subordinates contribute the most and although luck brought by the official position is small, it is given daily.

"As long as I have an official position, I can continue to enjoy my luck every day. Unfortunately, I'm still a 9th Grade official. If I was a True Daoist…"

Wu Ming suddenly shivered.

He, himself, is a locust, nibbling away the Nine Mountains but what about Daoist Nanshan?

Main 9th Grade officials receive White Qi every day, the Main 7th Grade may have Scarlet Qi and the True Daoist is a 5th Grade Yellow Court, receive Gold Qi.

This expenditure is quite scary, almost equivalent to normal people being bled every day.

For Daoist Nanshan, he is naturally brave and diligent, his cultivation soared, but Li Rubi… hehe…

At the moment, you are welcome to operate your Dao Magic, and the White Qi supplemented by the 9th Grade official position, and his cultivation further refined.

"As for these subordinates, they need to leave a seed, as it's needed for control!"

His thoughts moved in his mind, most of the luck contributed by these people was swallowed up, leaving a small black, white, and a little scarlet-colored part; very similar to his official seal.

"Really happy!"

Just one day of luck support is equivalent to one month of hard practice.

Wu Ming couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity… if I was a True Daoist, I might be able to cultivate my inner refinement to Grand Perfection in an instant and reach Law Master!"

Many thoughts flashed and Wu Ming stepped forward and said to his subordinates: "Get up! Remember me, official Wu Ming and your Squadron Leader!"

The forty people got up and seeing Wu Ming's extraordinary temperament, they've secretly submitted.

It manifested in Luck Qi and the strands of luck continued to float and sank into the seal.

Of course, compared to what he got twice right now, it's a drop in a bucket but the wins are continuous.

"This is 40 people, and there are 10 more. I can choose whoever I want, right?"

"It is exact!"

After getting the answer, Wu Ming stopped talking and came to the people he liked.

Just now, after walking and looking for the gifted, a few seeds were found and he called out: "You, you, you're all recruited!"

The two new pawns came out: "I have seen sir!"

"Well, what is your name?"

Although these two people are short in height, they are muscular and good beards and hair. Although they do not look good, there was a little golden color in their scarlet fate; destined to be extraordinary.

"Subordinates are Zhong Ting and Niu Yong, we have seen the superior!"

The two hurried to salute.

"Very well, you will follow me from now on!"

Wu Ming kept walking, and came to another person: "What is your name?"

"Little… This villain is called He Zihai!"

In front of Wu Ming, this person was yellowish and thin. He looked poor and had even scars on his body and was even squeezed out of the team.

"Hmm… Have you read a book?"

Even though it could be seen that his fingers were slender and his skin was fair, Wu Ming asked casually.

He Zihai shuddered: "I have read a few books and can recognize a few words, not illiterate!"

This temperament is a bit extraordinary.

And Wu Ming fancied this person's qualifications.

With his Qi Observing Technique, this person has a clear and splendid brilliance on top of him. He is familiar with classics and can understand truths in it. He can only have it if he does his work without being left behind. More importantly, his fate is entangled with the stars and has star power. Although it has not reached the level of Returning to the Stars, it is at the level of the main star appearing.

"… This literary talent, is it the Civil Song Star?"

Wu Ming wanted to laugh: "By the standard of martial arts, this literary seed will be swept away, and in troubled times, the military power is the most important, literary scholars are good-for-nothings!

So he said: "There is a lack of bookkeeper in my team, are you willing?"

"I am willing! Willing!"

Obviously, He Zihai didn't want to stay in the ranks for long. He nodded repeatedly and kneeled: "Hu Zihai of humble descent, have seen the superior! A superior promoting a humble officer from the grass and mud, this kindness can only be rewarded!"

This alone cannot be said by ordinary people.

Wu Ming helped him up and saw that the person next to him seemed surprised, but he smiled again: "There's also you, you, the third 5-Man Team of group A, and seventh 5-Man Team of group C, all out!"

He immediately called out a dozen sturdy-looking warriors, tested one-by-one, and ordered them to rehearse drills and compete against each other. Only then did he pick seven brave warriors.

Add the first three, and there are exactly ten people.

"And that's all!"

The officer was originally suspicious when he saw Wu Ming's selection, but when he saw the next seven who were brave enough to become a tooth soldier, he brushed the previous selections as bad luck, thinking that it was indeed reasonable.

This is why Wu Ming converges.

If you choose one or two outstanding people, you can use them without reservation but if choose ten people, each of them able to be written a splendid chapter about them, able to command armies, capturing dragons, and trapping tigers, then, even fools would know there's a problem.

Moreover, it is not enough to have just luck, you need the talent to use things.

The Squadron Leader can manage 50 people. This was all, he took them to the military depot and cleared all the money. They all picked up good equipment and returned to the camp in an ordered formation, immediately showing that it was extraordinary.

"We pay respect to the Lord!"

At that time, the squadron was neatly organized and bowed down. Although there are only 50 people, they are all elites, full of energy and out of the ordinary, they were at least equal to four or five squadrons in terms of luck, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel great.
