Chapter 19 - A Neo Martial Artist Helper (1/2)

“Military branch?” Enzo Rota continued to question Qin Fen with concise statements.

“Army,” Qin Fen finally stopped eating.

“Smart,” Enzo Rota gave a thumbs up.

Song Jia was a bit startled, but she soon nodded in understanding. It was hard to see, but Qin Fen had a crafty side. He chose the military branch that saw the least combat in modern wars.

If a war really was to occur, Qin Fen would probably be retired by the time the army was deployed. Like he would stay stupidly in the army.

“Then you should take some time to cultivate.” Lin Liqiang sat up straight, giving him a serious reminder.

“I will.”

Qin Fen nodded. Though modern warfare consisted of guns and warships, the importance of martial arts didn’t weaken by even an iota. On the contrary, large-scale wars were relatively unlikely to occur. Instead, there were many small and local conflicts, making the importance of martial arts quite evident.

Mobilizing warships in conflicts would mark the beginning of a real war. However, the small conflicts ahead of time consisted mostly of the Army wielding guns to fight against the enemy army.

A person who knew martial arts had quick reactions and movement speed. Combining these factors with a gun in hand allowed an adaptable fighting style.

A gun-wielding soldier, who knew martial arts had underwent military training, can single-handedly eliminate an entire squad of enemy soldiers who merely underwent military training but didn’t know martial arts. The difference in movement speeds, judgments, and reaction speeds between the two was far too vast. There was also a giant disparity between their physical strength and power.

Ordinary soldiers could use guns. They could also use light-weight combat rocket launchers geared for individuals. But as for the heavier weapons, the powerful combat rocket artillery, weren’t things that ordinary soldiers could easily move around with and use.

Only martial artists possessing decent strength could wield these powerful and mighty heavy artillery weaponry.

It was for this reason that every single soldier had to cultivate and practice martial arts. The existence of the Sky Martial Battle Network and the free publicized martial arts was to prevent people from only cultivating after joining the military, thus allowing them to keep up in combat strength.

Of course, people in the Army could engage in special training apart from being sent into small-scale conflicts. They could be molded into soldiers that broke through the enemy’s back line and executed leader-strike operations. There were also those responsible for point suppression missions, as well as new-planet expedition missions.

The modern Army was a bit of a weak chicken, but it was still an indispensable branch. Whether it was small-scale conflicts, leader-strike operations, or even occupation work after a battle, it was all left to the Army.

The four were young, and Qin Fen had just awakened from deep sleep. They were in great moods, chatting until it was late at night.

They thought about how they still had class tomorrow, and Lin Liqiang spoke about his embellished pretext for missing class. They wanted to avoid slipping up for the second day of class, so the four people left the McDonalds, which was long devoid of other customers, and headed back to their respective homes to rest.

After just waking up, the many days of continuous sleep put Qin Fen into a stimulated state. It was hard for him to fall asleep.

He was back in his room, thinking about how he slept for an entire week. He didn’t make any money at all during this time, and today he had eaten a huge meal. Qin Fen decided to log onto the Sky Martial Battle Network and watch a few fights. He would write a few drafts for some money, even though the special column in the newspaper was already snatched by someone else.

He put on the helmet, entered his ID and logged onto the Sky Martial Battle Network.

Free Area eleven, Combat Field Number eleven.

Nearly a hundred challenge messages popped up in his inbox the moment he logged on, stupefying Qin Fen for a moment. He quickly skimmed through all the challenges. About a third of them were from Regal Propria. The remaining challenges were from complete strangers.
