As time passed, Xia Chujian's combat level against the sparring robots, with the cooperation of ordinary mechanical mechas, gradually rose from D-Rank early stage to Rank A peak.
However, Xia Chujian then discovered that the physical fitness of a Rank A peak Gene Evolver was no joke.
Although she had a mechanical mecha that was invincible at her level, she still found it very difficult to deal with the Rank A peak Gene Evolvers simulated by the sparring robots.
She fought a total of eight same-level arena matches against sparring robots with Rank A peak strength, drawing only one and losing seven.
The draw was because she cheated, taking advantage of the sparring robot's battery system being short-circuited by her, and taking the opportunity to punch it a few more times.
But the sparring robot quickly repaired its circuits and immediately switched from defense to offense, drawing with her.
In the other seven matches, she was basically overwhelmed by the sparring robot.
On the last weekend of March, Xia Chujian once again lost to the sparring robot whose strength level was adjusted to Rank A peak.
A little depressed, she jumped out of the mecha control room, sat on the floor of the training hall, and asked Meng Guanghui, "Leader Meng, is it impossible for me to defeat a Rank A peak Gene Evolver with a mechanical mecha?"
Meng Guanghui looked at her training data from the past two and a half months.
From defeating D-Rank early stage to Rank A mid-stage, she only took two weekends.
Then she spent all the remaining time fighting against Rank A peak.
It couldn't be said that there was no progress at all during this time, but the progress was so minimal that it could be ignored.
Meng Guanghui said, "This is the first lesson for you. Once Gene Evolvers reach Rank A peak, they experience a qualitative leap in their physical fitness."
"This qualitative leap is not just an increase in physical fitness, but also other aspects, such as the ability to materialize Mental Strength."
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "What is the materialization of Mental Strength?"
Meng Guanghui stared at his hands. A second later, a palm-sized black bow appeared in his hand. He said, "This is the materialization of Mental Strength. Touch it..."
Xia Chujian carefully placed a finger on it.
Huh? It really felt like touching a real object.
She couldn't help but put another finger on it. It was indeed a real object.
Then, she directly took the small bow from Meng Guanghui's hand and looked at it over and over in her own hands.
She suddenly remembered the day she saw a silver longbow and golden arrows suddenly appearing in Huo Yushen's hand.
Was that the materialization of Huo Yushen's Mental Strength?
But she remembered that Huo Yushen's silver longbow was half a person tall! This palm-sized black bow was like a toy for Wu Fu...
She tentatively asked, "Leader Meng, can you make this bow bigger?"
Meng Guanghui was originally waiting proudly for Xia Chujian's surprise and praise, but he didn't get anything. Instead, he was choked.
He took his black bow back from her hand, straightened his face, and said, "Isn't this big enough? It can still be used!"
As he spoke, he pulled the bowstring with two fingers, and a small black arrow appeared on the bowstring.
With an arrow shot, another blue star on the dome went out.
Then, the black longbow in his hand disappeared like smoke.
Xia Chujian then asked in surprise, "Wasn't it materialized? How can it disappear?"
Meng Guanghui said, "...Materialization is not permanent solidification... Maintaining a solid form all the time requires a lot of Mental Strength."
Xia Chujian said "Oh" and said honestly, "Leader Meng, your Mental Strength is not enough, is it?"
Meng Guanghui glared at her, did not answer, but said, "Your physical training ends here today."
"Ah? It's over?" Xia Chujian looked at the sparring robot. "I haven't beaten a Rank A peak Gene Evolver yet."
"I said, for Gene Evolvers, Rank A peak is also a qualitative leap. It is impossible for an ordinary person like you to beat a Rank A peak Gene Evolver with this kind of mechanical mecha."
Xia Chujian was not reconciled: "...If this kind of mechanical mecha can't, then what kind of mecha can? Can I train with all of them?"
Meng Guanghui said, "I heard that Master Su has a new type of mecha that can supposedly allow ordinary people to fight against Rank A peak Gene Evolvers. It's a pity that it's too expensive to be widely equipped in the military."
Xia Chujian subconsciously touched the Other Shore Flower Necklace on her neck.
She finally knew what kind of new mecha it was. She happened to have one...
Too bad, she was still too weak and couldn't expose this Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha in public for the time being.
She could only enjoy it secretly.
And she really was enjoying it secretly.
She feigned a sigh and said, "That's a pity. I wonder if there will be a chance to try Master Su's new mecha in the future?"
Meng Guanghui rolled his eyes at her, "Stop daydreaming. Master Su's new mecha is a top secret of the Empire. Even Inspector Huo can only take a look. If you want to try it, maybe in your next life."
Xia Chujian: "...Oh."
Her "oh" was so carefree, without any regret or pity that she should have had.
Meng Guanghui thought she was a weirdo.
But he didn't have any ill feelings towards her. On the contrary, he valued her very much because of her excellent Gunmanship.
He continued, "The training these past few days is mainly to give you a direct understanding of the physical gap between yourself and Gene Evolvers. You also need to realize that although there are these gaps, it's not like there's no way out at all. If you have a mechanical mecha, or if you have a gun in hand and strike first, you can still take down a Gene Evolver. Of course, if the opponent is a Rank A peak Gene Evolver, I only have one request for you: run!"
These were true words from the heart, lessons learned from experience!
Xia Chujian quickly stood at attention and nodded solemnly, "Yes, Leader Meng."
Seeing that she finally had some heartfelt respect for him, Meng Guanghui was satisfied and put his hands behind his back, straightening his back and saying, "Although the physical training is over, other training is not."
"What other training is there?" Xia Chujian asked curiously, "I can drive all the ordinary mechanical mechas here, and there's no new mecha like Master Su's, so what else do I need to train?"
Meng Guanghui said, "Yes, for example, learning to pilot fighters, interstellar spaceships, and interstellar warships..."
"Ahhh! I can also pilot fighters and interstellar warships!" Xia Chujian's eyes were shining.
She grabbed Meng Guanghui's hand, "Thank you for your cultivation, Leader! Thank you for your attention, Leader! Can we start now?!"
"Of course not. These trainings cannot be completed in Mulan City. Our plan for you is to leave Mulan City and go to Kanli Star for new training during the summer vacation after your National Higher Education Entrance Examination. Our Special Security Bureau has a dedicated flight training base there."
"By the way, tomorrow is Sunday, so you don't have to come. You're on vacation from now until your National Higher Education Entrance Examination is over. Your grades have been very good these two and a half months," Meng Guanghui praised.
In fact, it was more than just good, she had already broken several training records.
She was better at driving this ordinary mechanical mecha than Gene Evolvers.
Of course, except for Rank A peak Gene Evolvers, it could be said that below Rank A peak, she could sweep everything with this ordinary mechanical mecha.
But Rank A peak Gene Evolvers were backbone forces even in their Special Security Bureau, and could not be compared with newly recruited rookies.
That would be bullying the rookie.
Moreover, Xia Chujian didn't know that her code name "One Shot Kill" had already become a sensation in the Special Security Bureau's internal sniper forum.
Many people were asking who this "One Shot Kill" was, but because of the special protection program set up for her by Huo Yushen, no one, not even the people from the Special Security Bureau's Information Department and Intelligence Division, could find out her real identity.
And when they tried to dig further, they would be warned by the system, saying that they were "attempting to steal confidential information and would be treated as traitors."
Since this prompt had come out, everyone tacitly understood.
Probably this "One Shot Kill" was the bureau's secret weapon.
So everyone was even happier, more excited, and more admired this "One Shot Kill", and they also worshiped Huo Yushen, the person who had recruited the "One Shot Kill" genius.
The more capable their own people were, the stronger their strength would be, and the greater their chances of winning against the enemy on the battlefield in the future!
In the Special Security Bureau's field personnel, Xia Chujian's "One Shot Kill" identity had particularly high prestige.
They were envious, but there was absolutely no jealousy or fear.
Who would be jealous or afraid of someone who might turn the tide and save their lives in the future? Unless they were brain-dead patients with offline IQs...
Among the Special Security Bureau's field personnel, those with offline IQs had long been "targeted and eliminated" by the enemy, and those who survived were the elite of the elite.
Xia Chujian was completely unaware of this, and said with great interest, "I don't need to rest, Leader Meng, can't we really start right away?"
She dreamed of learning to fly fighters, not to mention starships and interstellar spaceships! "You don't need to rest, but I need to rest." Meng Guanghui stopped her and deliberately said, "For your physical training, I haven't had a weekend off for more than two months, you know?"
In fact, he had compensatory time off, but in order to make Xia Chujian, this thorny head, feel grateful, he still used some tricks secretly.
Xia Chujian really "ah-ed" and said apologetically, "It's my fault, I was just thinking about myself. Leader Meng, let's both rest tomorrow!"
Meng Guanghui said with a smile, "That's more like it."
After Xia Chujian left, Meng Guanghui once again requested a video call with Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen answered half an hour later and asked, "What's the matter?"
Meng Guanghui said, "Xia Chujian's physical training has come to an end today. Marshal Huo, I think it's such a pity. Is there really no way to make her a Gene Evolver?"
As he spoke, he sent the data records of Xia Chujian's physical training to Huo Yushen.
"Take a look at this data. Gene Evolvers below Rank A peak are not as good as her in operating mechanical mechas."
"If she were also a Gene Evolver..." Meng Guanghui didn't dare to say the rest.
He felt that if Xia Chujian could really become a Gene Evolver, their Huo Yushen, Chief Huo, would truly meet his first evenly matched opponent...
Huo Yushen looked at the data for a while and was also a little surprised.
He knew her trait of being immune to Mental Strength attacks, and he also knew that her Gunmanship was incredibly accurate, practically at the level of absolute gun sense.
But he didn't expect her to have such good results in operating this ordinary mechanical mecha.
It was truly like an extension of her own limbs, no worse than any Gene Evolver who used Mental Strength to control a mecha.
Meng Guanghui continued, "Marshal Huo, I was thinking, can we help her get a legendary new type of mecha from Master Su? With that thing, it can perfectly compensate for her defect of not being a Gene Evolver."
Huo Yushen looked down at the data, thinking, does she need you to get it for her? She already got one for herself...
It's just that she can't reveal it publicly.
He understood her considerations and agreed with her concealment, but getting her another one would be too much.
Huo Yushen closed the data interface and said in a cold voice, "It's just training data. Until it's on the real battlefield, we don't know if this training data can be converted into real battle results. Don't think too much, just train her step by step according to the previous plan."
"After the physical training is over, the next step is Xia Chujian's training in fighters, interstellar spaceships, and interstellar battleships." Huo Yushen thought for a while and added, "By the way, if her academic scores can reach the line, try to persuade her to apply for the Star Destroyer command major at the Imperial Royal First Military University."
Meng Guanghui widened his eyes: "Star Destroyer?! And command?! Marshal Huo, you're not kidding, are you?! Besides, that's a military profession, our Special Security Bureau..."
Huo Yushen raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes full of coldness.
Meng Guanghui immediately shut his mouth.
He was also stupid. Huo Yushen had only been transferred from the military a year ago.
Moreover, there were already many covert field agents from the Special Security Bureau in the military, who were their eyes and ears.
Huo Yushen thought even more.
Since this Xia Chujian has so much potential, it can't be wasted.
He needs to create another identity for her and add her to the Dark Division Registry of the Special Security Bureau, which is also the highest secret within the Special Security Bureau.
Everyone on the Dark Division Registry is contacted through a single line. Only the Inspectors of the Special Security Bureau of each generation know their true identities, not even the Emperor.
And after each Inspector of the Special Security Bureau leaves office, the old Dark Division Registry will be handed over to the new Inspector.
The new Inspector will re-clean the Dark Division Registry within three years, disbanding some people, investigating some people, and arranging new identities for the remaining people.
Three years later, the old Inspector's declassification time will be completed, and even if they want to leak secrets, they will have no way to do so.
Huo Yushen has been in office at the Special Security Bureau for a year, and he has understood everything he should know. After cleaning up the old Dark Division Registry, it is time to recruit new people for his own Dark Division Registry.
And Xia Chujian is the first person Huo Yushen plans to recruit.
Huo Yushen only intended Xia Chujian's position with Meng Guanghui to be a cover from beginning to end.
Moreover, the nature of the work of the Special Security Bureau also determines that they are people walking on the gray edge, and having multiple identities is too common.
Meng Guanghui knew that perhaps an ordinary middle-aged data entry clerk at the headquarters of the Special Security Bureau was once a planner or executor who subverted an important force abroad.
They are all people who have had glorious achievements, but when they return to China, they hide their merits and fame.
Huo Yushen said to Meng Guanghui, "Xia Chujian hasn't even graduated from high school yet, so just arrange a leisurely job for her. She doesn't need to work every day, and don't let her go on missions."
Meng Guanghui scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "But since she's on the branch's roster now, can she not go on missions? What will others say about her?"
"Then say she has someone above her, that she's a 'relation'. After her National Higher Education Entrance Examination, send her on two simple missions as a formality." Huo Yushen waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, we're just trying her out for a year first, and then we'll see if she's suitable after a year."
Meng Guanghui nodded repeatedly and ended the call.
While Huo Yushen was speaking, he had already created another legitimate identity for Xia Chujian in the Special Security Bureau's records.
This legitimate identity was not just complete, but extraordinarily so.
It even had records of five generations of ancestors, and the person herself had all the real records starting from her birth certificate, including her school records from elementary school to high school, various transcripts, social relationships, and even close friends.
Of course, there was also a Quantum Optical Brain number equivalent to real-name authentication.
All of this was completely legal and real according to the laws of the Beichen Empire.
This legitimate identity, in the most mysterious organization of the Special Security Bureau, the Dark Division Registry, belonged to the first person in the Tearer series, codenamed Greedy Wolf.
And this Tearer series was also the highest level in the Dark Division Registry, which had been vacant for a long time and had never recruited anyone.
Huo Yushen still had high expectations for Xia Chujian.
After talking with Meng Guanghui, Huo Yushen planned to conduct further investigation of Xia Chujian.
Creating a new identity for her was also for the future, so she could use it when she went on more dangerous missions.
This is the second update, a long chapter, including the bonus update for 900 monthly tickets in May.
There will be a new update at 12:05 tonight.
