I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 962: Chapter 626: The Gift, All Is Ready_2

The Military Lord not only saved his son and helped them reunite as a family, but also bestowed such precious gifts. This kindness truly makes him feel undeserving.

"No problem."

Qin Tian gently patted Xue Wuyang’s shoulder and said with a smile, "This gift is for both you and Xiaoyong. Don’t be so petty, or the child might find it laughable."

After speaking, Qin Tian turned to look at Xue Yong standing beside him.

At that moment, Xue Yong was staring straight at the crystal bottle in Xue Wuyang’s hand with bright eyes full of desire and anticipation.

Yet when Qin Tian’s gaze shifted towards him, he suddenly shuddered and quickly lowered his head, looking respectful yet cautious.

Seeing this sight, Qin Tian couldn’t help but smile and reached out to gently touch Xue Yong’s head, "Xiaoyong, your father is the chief instructor of the three armies at Ice Extreme Pass. He is steady, reliable, dignified yet measured—loyal and responsible above, strict yet caring below—and often helps soldiers in difficulty. No one at Ice Extreme Pass does not respect him. I hope you will grow up to become a responsible man like your father."

Hearing such solemn praise for his father from Qin Tian stirred a surge of indescribable pride and joy in Xue Yong’s heart.

He suddenly straightened his chest, looked determined, and said loudly, "General Qin, I will certainly work hard and cultivate diligently to become a man like my father in the future!"

"Hmm, I believe in you."

Qin Tian’s eyes were full of expectation, "Your talent is even more outstanding than your father’s. As long as you work hard and continue persistently, you will surely surpass your father in the future."

He paused and then laughed, "From now on, Ice Extreme Pass is your home. On behalf of all the soldiers there, I welcome your arrival."

Upon hearing these words, Xue Yong was overwhelmed with excitement, his face flushed, nodding forcefully, while his eyes brimmed with tears once more.

Standing beside them, Xue Wuyang watched this scene filled with gratitude, and his eyes too became slightly wet.

Before reuniting with his son, besides endless longing, he also harbored deep guilt.

His wife’s death and the hardships his son endured were all caused by his Cyan Dragon bloodline.

Now, seeing his son so excited and happy to see him, he was always worried that when his son grew up, recalling these painful experiences and remembering why his mother died might lead him to blame his father.

But the Military Lord’s words not only skillfully established a noble and reliable image for him in his son’s heart, but also provided his son with immense encouragement, helping the child find direction for his efforts.

This kindness is something he could never repay in his lifetime.

"Alright, I won’t disturb your warm family reunion time."

Qin Tian smiled slightly with a gentle tone, "Instructor Xue, I’m giving you a three-day leave. Take your child around Ice Extreme Pass. If you return early, I’ll dock your pay."

"Yes! Thank you, Military Lord!"

An honest smile appeared on Xue Wuyang’s face again, deeply bowing to Qin Tian.

Seeing this, Xue Yong also bowed deeply to Qin Tian.

......

"Everything is more or less arranged."

Back in the study, Qin Tian waved his fingers lightly, and a holographic projection appeared in response.

His recent layouts at Ice Extreme Pass were neatly displayed in the projection, each plan meticulously organized and clear.

First is the aspect of governance.

He promoted Zhuge Xuanting to the position of Chief Administrative Officer, and Zhuge Xuanting did not let down his trust and responsibility. A talent from the Zhuge Family, well-versed in internal affairs, he solidified the initially chaotic Ice Extreme Pass into a place of order and stability with his meticulous and pragmatic approach and years of rich experience in internal affairs.

Even with the explosive migration wave from Mingwang Planet, the influx of personnel at Ice Extreme Pass far exceeding initial expectations, the management team not only did not collapse, but under Zhuge Xuanting’s leadership, continued to fill in gaps, optimize processes, becoming increasingly mature and efficient.

It was precisely this solid governance support that allowed Qin Tian to extricate himself from trivial daily affairs and focus more on more important layouts and preparations.

Secondly, is the military aspect, which is his foundation.

The Royal Council and Military Department have officially approved his Recruitment Order plan. In the future, not only will new troops integrate into Ice Extreme Pass, but Ice Extreme Pass can also recruit from local soldiers to expand the strength of the team.

Meanwhile, the Azure Wood Star Realm has transported the latest batch of Barbarian Warriors.

Once they arrive, over a hundred thousand Barbarian Warriors will possess the strength to match Tier Four Spiritualists after taking the modified version of the Superman Potion.

The dual recruitment modes work hand in hand, and finally, sufficient troops allow him to begin the long-awaited "Four Symbols Legion Plan."

Along with the steady expansion of the army, the growth of The Shadow Division is equally gratifying.

Under his arrangement, Adif has smoothly integrated into The Shadow Division.

As a Tier Seven Moluo Warrior and top Spatial Ability controller, Adif’s enigmatic and unpredictable spatial ability perfectly aligns with the positioning of The Shadow Division, and also injects new powerful combat strength into The Shadow Division.

Not only that, Adif also carefully selected over three thousand elite warriors from among six thousand Moluo People to joins The Shadow Division.

Originally, The Shadow Division’s core strength comprised Night Demons—they were the absolute rulers of the night, possessing extreme stealth, keen perception, and swift speed, skilled in silently completing assassination and reconnaissance tasks.

In contrast, the Moluo People excelled in space talent at the cosmic level; their actions were more elusive, capable of traversing stealthily via Space of Power, unpredictable.

The addition of over three thousand Moluo elites provides a significant boost, making The Shadow Division, already rich in talent, even more formidable, becoming Qin Tian’s most reliable dark blade.

Of course, Qin Tian has other plans for the remaining Moluo Warriors.

They are spread across various legions, serving as liaisons, scouts, space transmitters, and other key roles—capable of quickly transmitting intelligence using spatial talent, coordinating Legion deployments, also executing reconnaissance and surprise attacks during combat, greatly enriches the Legion’s troop composition, and significantly enhances overall strength.

Furthermore, there’s the vast commercial empire laid out by Qin Tian.

The strength of Lingfeng Trading Company needs no elaboration, with the frenzy of the Youth Potion throughout the Empire bringing Qin Tian unimaginable wealth, serving as crucial financial support for his early development.

But this seemingly astronomical fortune in the face of the upcoming large-scale development on Mingwang Planet is merely the tip of the iceberg.

In the coming period, billions, tens of billions, even tens of billions of Empire citizens will continuously flock to Mingwang Planet and Ice Extreme Pass, and merely the transaction of houses and land will let him rake in staggering profits.

Add to that, the presence of various capitals and large forces, bound to drive explosive growth in industries like construction, livelihood, energy, communication, and the interests behind this are immeasurable.

Moreover, beneath the surface of Mingwang Planet lies huge reserves of various mineral veins, the hunting industry for Ice Beasts and Snow Beasts is taking form, coupled with deep cooperative ties with the Mercenary Association led by Catherine—from each aspect, Qin Tian expects to gain endless substantial revenue, further solidifying his wealth foundation.

Additionally, the technological "Great Wheel" led by Robert is quietly being prepared.

From the procurement of scarce materials, core technology development, to the construction of super factories, each step is steadily advancing, and once this giant technological wheel sets sail, it will inevitably cause a tidal wave across the Empire, the wealth and influence it creates will be unprecedented.

Finally, there’s the core team under Qin Tian, they are his crucial aides and foundational pillars supporting the development of Ice Extreme Pass.

His longtime subordinates, besides Poisonous Widow, Li Qi, Terreda, Xiong, and Old Ghost, are all fully committed to advancing towards Peak Tier Six;

While newcomers like Xue Wuyang, Ran Tu, Kane, and Adif have never ceased cultivating, silently honing their strength, steadily improving with the resource support provided by Qin Tian.

Right now, everyone’s goals are highly aligned—that is, persisting until the end of the Nine Stars Martial Arts Gathering six months later, successfully obtaining the opportunity for divine stele baptism, using the power of the divine stele to enhance their talents and insights, breaking limitations and smoothly advancing to Tier Seven.

"Everything is ready except for the eastern wind."

Qin Tian looked at the neatly organized planning chart before him, a smile appeared on his lips.
