We are from the future ark

"Haha, I just came to take a look. By the way, I want to tell you about what's going on in the small tower recently."

Xingxiong said this, and touched his long horn of the ghost tribe, and said to Chen who looked suspicious:

"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Suddenly you have a new partner. I support you, Old Chen."

“…I feel like you’re not telling the truth, but never mind.”

Although Chen felt that Xingxiong was hiding something, she had no doubts and could not say anything at the moment.

"So, come walk with us?"

"Okay, I just want to see what the internal environment of Rhodes Island is like."

Xingxiong did not refuse at all. He quickly lifted up Prajna and supported Chen Qi on each side, and they walked slowly in the corridor of Rhodes Island.

The news that Chen came to Rhode Island was known to the people of Rhode Island over the past few days. However, Xingxiong's arrival surprised the operators of Rhode Island, especially when they saw Xingxiong and Chen supporting Chen Qi together, the operators of Rhode Island looked at him sideways.

Although... they knew that their "young master" was quite popular with women, but this scene seemed a little bit wrong no matter how they looked at it, right?

The competition among the women around the young master is quite fierce, how come they become so harmonious here?

What? Why did he call Chen Qi "Young Master"? This was a fact that had spread all over Rhodes Island. In the entire Rhodes Island, only Master Chen Qi dared to go against Dr. Kal'tsit and even acted on his own without being punished.

In view of this, everyone in Rhodes Island respectfully calls Chen Qi "Mr. Chen Qi" or "Sir Chen Qi" in front of Chen Qi, but behind his back, everyone calls Chen Qi "Young Master".

"As expected of Mr. Chen Qi, he can do things that we cannot do."

On the other side, after finishing training, Yue Jianye saw this scene and spoke to Hei Jiao beside him:

"Two high-ranking police inspector-level ladies from Longmen actually escorted him all the way. Ah~ What an enviable treatment."

"...You can only say this behind my back. If the young master hears you, he will send you to the trading station to work overtime."

Hei Jiao, who was standing by, shuddered upon hearing this, as if he had recalled some bad memories. However, his eyes also turned to the side intentionally or unintentionally.

"...But even though I say that, it does make me a little envious."

"Yue Jianye, didn't you work as a gigolo before? Tell me, why is the young master so popular with girls?"

"Well... that's a good question. But I think an attractive man must have his own strengths, and he can magnify them infinitely, so it won't be a problem for him to attract outstanding women."

As expected, Yue Jianye also summed up a set of life experiences when he was a cowherd. After some thought, he replied calmly:

"If you feel envious of Hei Jiao, you can try to ask Mr. Chen Qi for advice."

"No, the workload, young master... I can't handle it."

When Heijiao thought of Chen Qi's workload, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was not a very diligent person. He was pulled up by Ye Dao every day to get up, not to mention Chen Qi's workload.

"So... we may envy him, but since Mr. Chen Qi can do things that we can't do, we can only envy him."

"...You seem to admire the young master very much? I've never heard you praise anyone like that before." Heijiao looked suspiciously at Yue Jianye, who was drinking a cocktail elegantly on the side.

Yue Jianye... seems a bit cynical and easy to get along with, but in fact, he is quite particular about interpersonal relationships. Many people seem to be able to talk to Yue Jianye, but in fact, they are just able to talk to him and have not entered Yue Jianye's heart.

Yue Jianye is a man who shows his debauchery on the surface and hides his deep affection in his heart. However, Heijiao could hear that the praise for Chen Qi just now was Yue Jianye's sincere thought, not just verbal praise.

"Heh." Yue Jianye smiled slightly when he heard that, and asked Hei Jiao in return: "Aren't you the same?"

“…That’s right.”

After being speechless for a while, Heijiao admitted it reluctantly. After clinking glasses with Yue Jianye, he also rarely spoke some of his true feelings.

"I'm a veteran employee of Rhodes Island. Although I haven't been here as long as Captain ACE and the others, I've been working here for eight years."

"Rhodes Island was in a difficult situation before, and it became even more difficult after the doctor left."

"However, ever since ACE brought back the doctor and the young master from Che City, Rhodes Island really feels better day by day."

"To be honest... when I saw the young master being pushed into the intensive care unit by Dr. Kal'tsit and others last time, I was stunned for a long time."

"If it weren't for the young master... we might not know what to do next."

"I feel the same way, Blackhorn."

Having said this, the two of them clinked their glasses again and slowly drank the wine in their glasses.

This was just a small conversation between Rhodes Island operators, but it unintentionally revealed a lot of information and the psychological activities of many Rhodes Island people.

At this moment, this kind of thinking is spreading in Rhodes Island, and no one knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing?

Chapter 77: Jessica's Distress

"This is the training ground. Our Rhodes Island operators basically conduct simulation training here."

"Oh, simulation training, that sounds interesting."

They came to a place that both Chen and Xingxiong were very interested in. A lot of the technologies in Rhodes Island were very advanced. Although Rhodes Island was certainly not as good as any big country in terms of weapons and equipment, there were some facilities that many countries might not have.

This simulation training can be said to be one of Rhodes Island's unique facilities. It is also because of this simulation training facility that Rhodes Island can train such a large number of elite operators.

It is no exaggeration to say that Rhodes Island's armed forces may not be considered large as a force, but their quality is high enough to challenge some countries.

As a force, Chernobyl's integration movement went to the other extreme. It expanded its army arbitrarily. Although the number of soldiers was extremely large, the degree of training and the quality of the soldiers were a big problem.

It is extremely difficult for a small country to maintain a team of nearly 100,000 people, but the Integration Movement alone has a combat force of over 100,000 at its peak, which is terrifying. However, because of this, their internal consumption problems have always been serious.

Fortunately, with the material support from Longmen and the reforms planned by Chen Qi for the Integration Movement, many soldiers of the Integration Movement began to transform Chernobyl, gradually turning some of the wasteland and ruins there into farmland for self-sufficiency.

Many members of the Integration Movement have also changed from combatants to farmers. Now the remaining combat power of the Integration Movement is probably only about 20,000 to 30,000 people, but for a force, it is already quite terrifying.

Moreover, the quality and combat qualities of these two or three thousand people are much better than the previous integration movement of more than 100,000 people. This is also of great help to the morale of a force's army.

For an army, the most important thing is not quantity, but quality and morale. If a group of rabble gather together, their morale will be easily affected. No matter how many people there are, once they become timid, they will still be defeated.

Throughout history, there have been many cases where armies were too focused on human wave tactics and were defeated by the lack of quality. Chen Qi was also very clear about this, which was why he still had no intention of expanding his army even though his number of troops was much smaller than that of the Ursus Legion.

...I've gone off topic. Actually, I've said so much just to illustrate that having a good training system and training ground is very important.

Although Rhodes Island's facilities cannot support collective training for all operators, it is better than nothing in pursuit of the improvement of elite operators.

“Let me see…is it Sister Jessica today?”

"Then the one training inside should be Graythroat."

Chen Qi glanced at the internal personnel registration for the elite operator simulation training, muttered to himself, and looked through the reinforced glass surrounding the training room on all four sides to see the current training situation inside.

……

"Find the right rhythm, aim at the target..."

In the training room, at this moment, Graythroat was constantly looking for the rhythm.

At this time, Graythroat was not holding a crossbow, but a sniper gun similar to Jessica's. However, although they looked very similar overall, a closer look would reveal that there were still some differences.

At this moment, Graythroat is aiming at a target not far away from the training room. Although it does not seem far away, the facilities in the simulation training room can achieve the effect of long-range sniping. Although it seems to be less than 100 meters away, under the effect of simulation training, this distance can be extended to a maximum of times.

At this moment, Graythroat's acceptable limit is 50 times, which is 2.5 kilometers. This is also her first time using such a high-precision sniper weapon.

"--boom."

Finally, with a gunshot, Gray Throat held his breath and fired the crucial shot.

The bullet hit the target accurately, hitting the eighth ring.

Graythroat felt a pang in her heart, she knew she had messed up.

"..." Jessica on the side didn't say anything, but Gray Throat was subconsciously feeling frightened.

"...Tsk." Finally, Jessica smacked her lips after a long time, which made Gray Throat's heart tighten.

"Teacher...I'm sorry..."

"...Swallow, do you know what you are holding in your hand?"

However, facing the trembling Gray Throat, Jessica's indifferent tone was like torture. Obviously, it did not cause any waves, but now Gray Throat wished that Jessica would scold him rather than accept such a bland answer.

Graythroat is not usually the person she is now. On the contrary, most operators have the impression that she is an "unapproachable and cold girl". However, ever since she was impressed by Jessica's skills, she has been trembling with fear when facing Jessica.

"Gun, guns..."

"——It's not just a firearm, it's a high-precision sniper firearm made by Raytheon Industries. With this, you are born to exceed the limits of snipers in this world."

"And now, with the distance being less than three kilometers, you only gave me an eight-ring?"

As expected, Jessica's scolding came. Facing Graythroat's trembling appearance, Jessica had no mercy and silently took out a long black bullet.

"Yanzi, this bullet costs 5,000 Longmen coins."

"The sniper weapon in your hand costs three million Longmen coins."

"——Teacher! Please give me another chance!" Finally, Gray Throat couldn't help but speak out her true inner thoughts at this moment, and said to Jessica:

"I'm not familiar with the performance of this gun yet. As long as——"

"What else? Should I approve a box of bullets for you to make as many as you want?"

However, before Graythroat could finish his words, Jessica's scolding made him shut up.

Jessica looked directly at Graythroat, holding the bullet in her hand, and said calmly, "Just one bullet, five thousand Longmen coins."

"Five thousand each, five thousand each. Sister, are you giving me the money or am I giving you the money?"

"It is true that this sniper was fed with bullets."

"——But this bullet is too expensive. I can't afford it for you now."

Of course, if it was in the past, Jessica would never say that. As Jessica said, snipers are made by being fed with bullets one by one. Even though she is very strong now, she also came this way in the past.

The master was different then than he is now. At that time, Jessica had the support of her family. It can really be said that she had as many bullets as she could make, one after another, even one round after another, which allowed Jessica to achieve her current growth.

But it’s different now. Jessica is no longer the same as she was then. Here, she doesn’t have the support of her family to make her worry-free. All her expenses even have to be reported to Rhodes Island for reimbursement.

Moreover, going in and out of battlefields all the year round has made Jessica develop the habit of cherishing bullets. There have been times when she ran out of ammunition and food. Now Jessica will habitually count every bullet.

But the current Graythroat cannot possibly have the conditions that Jessica had back then. The current Jessica does not have these conditions, and neither does Rhodes Island.

"Ugh……"

For some reason, Jessica suddenly sighed as she spoke. She felt a little troubled by the predicament she was facing.

Sniper...How can we train a good sniper without sufficient financial support?

"——Are you worried about something?"

"Ok?"

Suddenly, several people came to the training ground. Jessica looked over, but her pupils condensed slightly.

"Chen Qi?! Didn't I tell you not to—"

"——It's just walking rehabilitation training. Don't be so nervous."

Chen Qi waved his hands. He was also very annoyed by such words. With the help of Chen and Xingxiong, he came to the training room and asked Jessica:

"Are there any difficulties? I can think of a way."

"…Nothing, just funds."

Jessica bit her lower lip. She had no intention of bothering Chen Qi, but after taking a look at the aggrieved Huihou, she still made her request.

"If there is not enough funds to train a good sniper, it would be a waste of his talent."

"However, our current funding...is simply not enough to sustain it."

"I was thinking about this question before." Chen Qi nodded, but did not show any embarrassment, and smiled at Jessica:

“Sister Jessica, I don’t think you need to worry about this problem.”

"——As long as you are determined, it will be easy to solve the problem of funding, right?"

"...You are not saying..."

Jessica was slightly stunned when she heard this, but soon she understood the implication of Chen Qi's words.

However, when she thought of this, Jessica's face showed some embarrassment, and after thinking for a while, she was still a little hesitant.

"……I will think about it."

Finally, Jessica reluctantly let go a little, and after a long time, she spoke to Graythroat beside her.
