Regarding Qin Shi’s proactive request, Yao Guodong was very cautious.
After all, this is the frontline. Apart from followers and the fallen, there are also unspeakable forbidden entities wandering in the contaminated zone.
They project into the material universe through the Netherworld rifts, impossible to evaluate by conventional combat standards, very tricky to handle, and part of the high-risk list.
"I will consider it."
Yao Guodong did not refuse. Little Qin’s proactive desire to fight is a good thing.
As the highest official of White Poplar Barrier City, he couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm.
"Little Qin, don’t rush, first stabilize your Life Force and settle down well. The Western Front is vast, and there surely will be opportunities for you to shine."
Committee Member Zhou spoke smoothly, calming down the restless desire of young Qin to fight.
He understood the young warrior’s eagerness to make achievements.
But before the Governor’s Mansion issues strategic orders, the Western Front can only take a defensive stance.
This is the overarching strategy.
Little Qin realized that "Qin Wuxiang" was influencing him, so he operated the Void Meditation Technique to calm his mind.
Although he was still eager to spar with someone, he was no longer as agitated, and the impulse to challenge whoever he found displeasing was suppressed.
In the following days, Qin Shi moved into the office building, leaving the new recruits’ dormitory, and began enjoying "Instructor Level" treatment.
He no longer had to eat at the canteen; instead, he received a special nutrition package supplied openly to him from White Poplar Barrier City.
It is said that such high-grade items were something Old Fu couldn’t even get a few meals of, especially during times of tight military supplies, making it extremely rare.
"Little Qin, quickly share some with me."
Fu Lei had removed most of his bandages, with only a few wraps remaining around his chest and abdomen.
Recently, eating and drinking with Qin Shi had significantly sped up his recovery, filling him with energy.
"This is reserved for the instructor."
Qin Shi pushed a portion of high-energy food with a total nutritional value of five hundred units in front of Fu Lei.
Currently, his daily food allowance is four, with three meals a day plus a late-night snack, far exceeding the daily consumption for Specialized Level Fifth Rank.
"It smells fantastic!"
Fu Lei picked up some pieces of meat with chopsticks, placed them in his mouth, and wore an expression of enchantment.
It’s not that the flavor of this nutritionally rich, high-energy food is particularly good.
It’s just that once past the Specialized Level Fifth Rank, the Extraordinary Body naturally craves high-nutrition, high-calorie foods, just as the body instinctively welcomes sugar and carbohydrates.
It’s instinctual! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fire·net
As a few pieces of meat entered his mouth, Fu Lei felt as though his whole body was being revitalized, greedily absorbing the nutrients contained within.
Oh, the satisfaction!
Life with Little Qin is truly a good one!
Old Fu was jubilant and felt elated.
The instructors at Fire Scorpion and Iron Fist couldn’t even get a taste of this!
"When I was serving, I dreamed of having such a meal. But it was only when executing raids, ensuring the body stored enough energy for days of intense activity, that it became a possibility."
Fu Lei didn’t eat too much, stopping after two bites, just coming to satisfy his craving, too proud to leech off the younger one’s privileges.
"Instructors can use more, my daily training consumption is about four hundred units. Without fighting, four high-energy meals a day are somewhat excessive."
Qin Shi generously said.
Having reached Specialized Level Fifth Rank, his Extraordinary Body had begun to take form, consuming energy constantly.
Their bodies are akin to a vast Urban Circle: if power stations can’t supply enough, or operations overload, they can easily come to a standstill or paralysis.
Therefore, lacking sufficient energy supply, many martial arts experts rooted at the Fifth Rank avoid intense combat.
They prefer using quiet recuperation, meditation, cultivation, and breathing to store and preserve internal nutrients, maintaining daily activities and preparing for unforeseen events.
"Little Qin, your Life Force value is off the charts, so the energy you can store won’t be low. Eat more; the battlefield is not a ring. If the Western Front advances fully, prolonged high-intensity combat, up to several months, could wear down any strong fighter."
Fu Lei said solemnly.
As a veteran, he had rich experience in this regard. Large-scale battles often last several months or more, where logistics supplies can’t be immediately provided, leaving many Specialized Level experts who have crossed the Extraordinary Barrier facing supply deficiency consumption dilemmas.
"Thank you for the guidance, Instructor; I am aware."
Qin Shi had already curbed the impulsiveness of "Qin Wuxiang," returning to a gentle, humble, and refined demeanor.
He opened the five major limits; his body was an almost bottomless pit. Coupled with cultivation in the Cosmic Furnace Secret Manual, unlocking the Human Body Secret Collection, absorbing over two thousand units of nutritional total in one meal posed no problem.
Converted to the standard energy units required for activities, he could store nearly nineteen thousand units.
This is almost three times that of a normal Specialized Level Fifth Rank.
"Fifteen days of high-intensity nonstop combat should be my consumption limit."
Qin Shi chewed on a piece of meat as he completed his meal, the surging nutritional energy absorbed, stored, and integrated into each cell.
"Just relying on eating is not enough; more energy intake is required to ensure progress."
Qin Shi started to sense the cultivation dilemma crossing two paths: the spiritual Domain needs Extraordinary substances to evolve everything, and the physical Domain needs vast energy to consolidate true sceneries.
The consumption speed of such vast resources sounds terrifying.
