Cosmic Demon

Chapter 298 Military Supplies, Super Stomach!
The mark of Typhon the Blood River is like a coordinate map leading to the Sea of ​​Decay.

Qin Shi felt a slight stirring in his heart. Was the governor hinting at something to him?
Switching to the path of spiritual energy...

Launch the Great Expedition...

The battlefields on both the eastern and western fronts formed a pincer movement, encircling a sea of ​​decay...

Qin Shi's thoughts began to wander, and his eyes sparkled.

The spirit standing before him was Feng Wuyang, whose powerful will, imbued with iron will, was clearly revealed upon contact with his mind.

If this governor truly wants to achieve his goal in one fell swoop, he must venture straight into the heart of the corrupt sea and completely sever the ultimate source of the birth of his offspring.

"Don't worry. Even if the sky falls, it's not your place to hold it up."

Feng Wuyang's spiritual body was extremely solid, almost like a real flesh and blood body, showing no trace of illusion.

"Lieutenant Qin, you are the flag of the western front, and also its blade."

With this great pioneering movement coming to a close, the future of Hengzhou's rising stars is destined to be in your hands.

If Feng Wuyang hadn't been so serious and solemn, Qin Shi would have definitely thought that this governor was just making empty promises.

Once the Great Expansion Movement ends, I will have to take the college entrance examination, then be admitted to a higher education institution in Dongxia, and head to a top-tier administrative region.

Or... be directly recruited into the battle group and become a glorious national defense student?
"With the end of the great expansion, Hengzhou's rising star will undergo tremendous changes. Any strong person who stands at the top of the torrent of destiny is one who follows the trend of the times."

Lieutenant Qin, I hope that a future army commander will emerge from Hengzhou's rising stars.

Feng Wuyang's "body" began to thin, like the morning mist about to dissipate.

"I also hope that I will not disappoint the Governor's high expectations."

Qin Shi raised his hand in salute again.

"May the Eastern Xia endure forever, and may our civilization endure forever."

Feng Wuyang's gaze swept over the eight-pointed star medal, and his voice faded away along with his figure.

"May you live up to Hengzhou's expectations and its glory."

Silence returned to the meeting room. Only the holographic map on the tactical table continued to flicker.

Qin Shi gazed at the crimson sea of ​​decay, which continued to writhe ominously.

"Blood River Typhon..."

Silently sensing the residual characteristics within his body, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes.

He has always had a strong interest in the familiars of the fourth level of the Hunting Disaster.

After all, the four pillars of the company were generous with their rewards.

Qin Shi pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the clamor of voices outside surged in like waves.

The afterglow of the medal-awarding ceremony was still lingering, and the new recruits on duty had burning admiration in their eyes, so they all stood up straight and saluted.

"boss."

Long Qiuyuan quickly stepped forward, acting as his secretary, and whispered in his ear about the upcoming itinerary.

"There are two interviews later. One is with the publicity department, and the other is with Tomorrow Group."

Qin Shi nodded. At this moment, he was the most dazzling presence on the western front. Cooperating with the publicity and accepting interviews was an unavoidable part of his "work".

Four hours later, everything was over, and Qin Shi boarded the Kirov airship again.

The engine roared as it slowly rose into the air. Through the porthole, the city of Poplar Walls gradually shrank below, and further away lay the scorched earth shrouded in pollution.

"Boss, did the governor give any instructions...?"

Long Qiuyuan lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

Her eyes shone with longing; if she could receive a personal commendation from the planetary governor, it would add a glorious chapter to her work record with the Ox-Horse Squad.

"We only talked about the Corrupt Sea. Your performance wasn't impressive enough to attract the Governor's attention."

Qin Shi shrugged and joked:
"I suggest you voluntarily 'work overtime,' so that after you finish the project, I might give you an excellent grade."

Long Qiuyuan's face was full of obsequiousness, like a sycophant in the workplace:

"I believe that my wise and capable boss will see and remember my contributions."

Qin Shi pondered for a moment and said:

"Notify the western command that I need the latest frontline situation map. Also, have the medical team perform another deep scan on me, focusing on monitoring residual energy and mental imprints."

Long Qiuyuan's eyes sharpened, realizing that his boss was paying close attention to Blood River Typhon:
"Does the boss want to get rid of this problem completely?"

Qin Shi shook his head:

"No, I just need... a way to locate it."

He closed his eyes, his spirit and body merging, the platinum sun circulating through his bones, and ripples in the void rhythmically moving through his sea of ​​consciousness.

"The next time I see Lao Qi and Lao He, they will definitely be shocked by my progress."

……

……

For the rest of the journey, Qin Shi mostly traveled around the various fortified cities, like a "superstar" launched on the western front, giving speeches.

As Feng Wuyang said, he became a flag, attracting the attention of all new recruits and veterans.

"Boss, I really can't write any more articles."

As the seventh speech concluded, Qin Shi boarded the Kirov airship, while Long Qiuyuan lay sprawled on the sofa like a salted fish, pen tucked behind his ear.
"Keep it up. I'll give you credit for that."

Qin Shi said this without any sincerity.

"This is the last promotional task for this month. You'll be on vacation soon."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaotang, who was huddled in the corner, immediately poked her head out:
"Boss, shall we head back to the rear to rest?"

Qin Shi nodded. The team he commanded only accepted direct orders from headquarters.

It also possesses the ability to operate across war zones, offering a high degree of freedom.

Therefore, when the current "mission" is completed, Qin Shi can choose to rest on his own.

"Finally, I can take a breather."

Long Qiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Spending long hours on the front lines had put her under considerable stress and tension.

As an employee, it's impossible to rely on the boss for everything, except when dealing with third-level or higher level of dependent creatures in disaster situations.

Long Qiuyuan, Ye Xiaotang, and Ran Bin divided the work and were responsible for the maintenance of the Kirov airship, the comforting of the machine spirit, the provision of logistical supplies, the supply of medical resources, and so on.

In short, all logistics needs to be handled by these three oxen and horses.

"Based on your work performance, you can choose some of the supplies issued by the Western Front Command."

Qin Shi placed the Perfect Electric Shock Saber horizontally on his lap. As his spiritual embryo approached perfection, he resonated more and more with this "special weapon" produced by the pillar.

The monument panel displayed text messages several times, all of which were "enhancements" made by [Divine Machine] to the Perfect Shock Saber.

Qin Shi gradually discovered that the pillars were not "gods" in the true sense; they were more like the original code of the universe.

Once you understand the underlying logic, you'll naturally receive feedback.

"The pillars themselves have no love, hate, or preference. They are the manifestation and embodiment of powerful rules."

Qin Shi stroked the scabbard. This perfect electric shock military knife had been enhanced five times and possessed nanometer-level cutting capabilities.

This gives him a greater chance of killing those large, high-health minions with a single blow.

"Normal family members are relatively agile and aggressive, but their health is low, and they can often only withstand two or three fatal attacks."

"But the giant creatures with large bodies and thick fields are mostly between five or six meters, or even more than ten meters."

"Forget conventional kinetic weapons, even a volley of gunfire from a warship wouldn't be able to fundamentally damage it."

Qin Shi summarized his experiences and planned to publish a combat manual on how to hunt down your own kind.

Noon the next day.

The Kirov airship landed in New Han Fortress City. As soon as it came to a stop at its berth, a lieutenant officer with a sharp look and logistics-insignia-marked power armor approached with two soldiers.

They were pushing a metal box with a temperature control indicator and a biometric lock. "Lieutenant Qin!"

The lieutenant raised his hand in salute, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of awe.

"By order of command, this is your combat supply for this week. In view of your... extremely high energy metabolism requirements, the logistics department has specially approved the highest-grade 'Heavy Core' series concentrated nutrient solution."

The scene of the lieutenant saluting the second lieutenant seemed very strange.

However, Qin Shi was honored as a first-class combat hero and also had the Great Star Sea Medal.

In the military, while rank is important, tangible honors are valued even more.

There was once a veteran of the regiment who had served for over seventy years and received five gold buckles. He was personally saluted by Commander Qin as a sign of respect.

This demonstrates the importance attached to honor.

"Leave it to me, boss."

Perhaps it was because of the upcoming holiday, but Long Qiuyuan's enthusiasm for work was high, and he skillfully took over the rather heavy metal box.

She used Qin Shi's biometric information to unlock the box, and upon opening it, she found three rows of neatly stacked metal tubular objects inside.

The tubes were cold and matte, each about the thickness of a forearm, with an injection port at one end and complex energy levels and ingredient labels at the other.

"Heavy Core-I type, high-density protein polymer, incorporating the active extract of the tertiary organism 'Void Whale', with a unit calorie content 220 times that of standard military rations and an absorption rate of 99.7%."

"Heavy Core-II, a concentrated neuroactive solution containing 'Divine Flower' powder and 'Crystal Lotus' extracts, used to quickly replenish mental energy."

"Star Core-III... uh, there are only two of these in stock right now. The main material is 'Marrow of Lava,' which contains pure geothermal energy and is used for deep repair after extreme physical exhaustion... Lieutenant Qin, please use with caution. The instruction manual says that it may cause spontaneous combustion if you are not at least at level four."

As the logistics lieutenant explained, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The value of these supplies is enough to arm an elite battalion, but now they are only enough to supply one person.

But considering that this overly young Lieutenant Qin had directly repelled the Blood River Typhon, a fourth-level disaster, and even killed several third-level disaster minions, earning him the title of "Grim Reaper on the Front Lines."

The logistics lieutenant felt that even a higher quota was justified.

"Thanks."

Qin Shi nodded in thanks.

He has just entered the fourth stage of the professional level and needs an extremely large amount of nutrients to replenish his body.

The Void Crystal Essence and Star Remains that were originally exchanged from the Entropy Sea Bank have long been used up.

"A true transcendent being is like a mobile arsenal of firearms. While it can unleash extremely powerful strikes, it also requires maintenance and upkeep, otherwise it will become inoperable once its ammunition runs out."

Qin Shi arrived at the logistics preparation rest point—a training base equipped with a dedicated meditation room and cultivation room.

Although the facilities here are relatively simple compared to the Nanhuang Dojo, it would take a lot of resources to build such a place on the front line.

He would not have received such treatment if he had not been awarded various honors during the Qin Dynasty and had not been valued and favored by the Western Front Command.

Qin Shi took out a heavy core-I type, unscrewed the sealing cap, and exposed the injection port.

"Boss, do you need my help?"

Long Qiuyuan was very aware of being a sycophant in the workplace, and immediately volunteered to prepare for the injection.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

With a slight pressure from Qin Shi's fingertips, the specially made metal tube wall softened like wax and was easily pried open.

A thick, viscous gel with an indescribable odor flowed out.

It was like a mixture of the fishy smell of the ocean and the smell of rust, like some kind of living molten metal, emitting a faint biological glow in the air.

Without any hesitation, Qin Shi poured the gel directly into his mouth.

This kind of "eating" offers no taste enjoyment whatsoever; it's the sensation of swallowing extremely concentrated food.

The gel melts in your mouth, instantly transforming into a scalding torrent that violently rushes down your esophagus and into your stomach!
boom!
It felt as if a small energy core had been detonated inside my body!
The life essence exploded with a power so immense it was almost tyrannical!

Without any deliberate guidance, the entire body immediately trembled.

The platinum-gold sun was like a furnace being thrown into fuel, and the energy reaction surged instantly!

Various inherited instincts operated to their fullest extent, greedily absorbing this pure and enormous amount of nutrients!

Every cell in the body was screaming with thirst, frantically absorbing nutrients.

A torrent of energy surges and washes through the body, further strengthening muscle fibers and refining bone density.

"call!"

Qin Shi felt a bit hot, and visible white steam rose from the surface of his skin.

The temperature in the entire training room rose a few degrees.

"Boss, your extraordinary physique is truly terrifying the more you look at it, don't you think?"

Long Qiuyuan retreated to a corner and said to Ye Xiaotang with emotion.

"Yes, yes, the boss's muscles are really well-defined."

Ye Xiaotang's eyes lit up, and she became infatuated.

"The woman below".

Long Qiuyuan shook his head and looked at Ran Bin, who was carrying the Blood Queen.

"What do you think, Binbin?"

Before consuming the nutrients, Qin Shi took off his outer clothes, revealing his bare upper body. He sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room, looking like a masterpiece created by the heavens.

Ran Bin was a woman of few words; she silently gazed at Qin Shi's incomparably perfect body.
"The boss is really strong. It feels like he could be hit by the Blood Queen from 2,000 meters away and not suffer a fatal injury."

Well, he's a fetishist; his mind is completely consumed by that gun.

Helpless, Long Qiuyuan crossed his arms and continued to watch his boss's cultivation process.

A dozen minutes later, Qin Shi had initially tamed the violent torrent of energy.

He exhaled a hot breath, feeling all the fatigue that had accumulated in his body vanish, and he felt extremely well.

"Not enough, give me more."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shi picked up a Heavy Core-II weapon.

The deep blue liquid flowed slowly in the tube, like a frozen starry sky.

He also opened the tube and drank it all in one gulp.

This time, the feeling was completely different; a clear, refreshing stream, like an icy spring, rushed into my mind, instantly soothing the chaos and disorder on my mental level.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the layers of ripples in the void became clearer and more stable.

Previously, Qin Shi absorbed the spiritual essence of Kazan, the Insightful One, leaving behind a large amount of mixed thoughts, which have now completely dissipated like dust washed away by clear water.

"It's incredibly refreshing, like the first sip of an ice-cold drink on a hot day."

Qin Shi discovered that his mental energy had been purified, becoming as clear as crystal, with each strand incredibly refined.

This is the power of resource allocation.

The energy expenditure that ordinary soldiers need to recover slowly can be fully replenished in just a few minutes with these top-of-the-line military concentrated nutrients.

They act like the most efficient fuel, continuously supporting the efficient operation of Qin Shi's "furnace-like" body.

Constantly digesting, constantly becoming stronger.

"That should be enough to increase my vitality by about ten points."

Qin Shi's gaze fell on the two dark red metal tubes in the box that were labeled "Marrow of Lava." The violent heat contained within them would probably be unbearable for his current body.

Taking at least two vials at once is somewhat dangerous.

[New achievement activated]

[Super Stomach]

The monument panel flickered softly.

It brought a surprise to Qin Shi.
