Chapter 855

855 You’re a Real Genius! Part 1
“The Moon Stream water is divided into four grades.
“From the lowest grade, there is lake drink, river drink, and sea drink. These three grades are distributed every month according to the monthly output.
“The distributed amount also depends on the territory’s talent grading system. B-level talents can receive about ten milliliters of lake-grade Moon Stream water every month.
“A-level talents are eligible to twenty milliliters of river-grade Moon Stream water.
!!
“As for S-level talents, they are given fifty milliliters of the second best grade, sea-grade Moon Stream water.”
Before Feng Long could explain the benefits, Wang Quan had already interrupted and did the explaining.
“So what we drank just now was the sea drink?”
Using the psychic energy water as a welfare benefit for talents was an impressive tactic.
It not only guaranteed that the distribution of the psychic energy water was done fairly, but it also greatly promoted the residents’ enthusiasm to strive higher.
Additionally, the psychic energy water’s benefits effectively improved the average physical qualities of the territorial residents.
“No, it wasn’t the sea drink.”
“It was the highest grade, the mystic drink, which can only be obtained by those in a position like Lord Feng Long. In the territory, it is more commonly called Poseidon’s drink.”
Watching Su Mo gulp down the last bit of Moon Stream water, Wang Quan licked his lips as if he was still reminiscing about the sweet taste in his mouth.
“Poseidon’s drink?”
“Yup!” Feng Long finally spoke.
He spun the silver bottle on the table to a particular angle, revealing the engraved pattern.
There was a thick and simple gate on it with a majestic-looking golden fish in the motion of flapping its tail in the air.
“The mystic drink can only be obtained by those rated S-level and have made great contributions to the territory.
“I got this bottle as a reward for leading troops a thousand miles and ambushing the Million Dwarves Country armament storages.”
Feng Long pointed to a paragraph engraved under the pattern. Following his fingers, Su Mo looked down and found the corresponding words on it.
“You’ll be a captain in my division and will serve directly under my command if you join me. Then, I can make the call to help you apply for an A-level talent assessment.
“Every month, you’ll be able to receive a certain amount of river drink.
“After that, all you need to do is achieve military exploits. Presumably, it won’t take long for you to advance to an S-level talent.”
Feng Long’s eyes were enthusiastic and as carefully observed Su Mo’s change of expression when he threw out his long-prepared bait.
Ordinary people that joined Heaven’s Origin would automatically receive an E-talent rating if they spent more than 100,000 points to purchase an identity.
To improve their ratings, they would have to wait until half a year after joining the territory to get their second talent grade assessment at the assessment office.
Those who purchased identities priced at about 10,000 points were technically whiteboards that did not receive ratings.
They were not considered permanent residents and had a risk of being expelled at any time. Thus, a talent level was not necessary.
“Sergeant Feng, you must be playing with me. Your men would undoubtedly be dissatisfied if I took up the position with my current strength.
“Besides, what I’m really proficient in is not combat. I’m not interested in fighting, and if possible, I would prefer to be in research. I’m…especially interested in weaponry and armory,” Su Mo placed down the cup and said firmly.
Without the one-year time limit, It would be an invincible starting point if he seized the opportunity to join the territory’s army and lead a thousand men to fight.
With a time limit and the various territory rules, one year would not be enough time for Su Mo to show his capabilities and improve his status to one that could influence the territory’s decisions.
“You don’t have to rush to a conclusion. You should understand how excellent the conditions Feng Long is offering you right now are if you already know about our territory’s structure.
“How about you go back and think about it first? We still have more than a day before we arrive at the territory anyway.”
Seeing Su Mo’s stubborn attitude, Wang Quan shook his head to the side as if feeling that it was a pity for Su Mo to miss the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Feng Long shook his head and continued the topic Su Mo brought up before Wang Quan could continue speaking.
“You’re interested in researching weapons?”
“Yeah. In a sense, I’m still part of the military even if I’m not in the army!”
“Well, since you don’t want to join my division, I can recommend you to the research institute and request an individual research facility for you.”
“Oh? Will there be any restrictions imposed on me?” asked Su Mo.
His purpose was to obtain the technology of eight years in the future wasteland to develop a powerful weapon that was strong enough to kill Sun Bahu.
At the same time, the more exposure he got to these technologies, the better since it could save many years on researching if he could bring one or two technology to the real wasteland.
“Restrictions…”
“To start an independent research topic, you will first have to obtain the qualification of a junior researcher and earn the approval of the senior scientific researchers.
“However, a junior researcher identity will require you to work in the research institute for one year and make a certain contribution to successful research.
“Since it’s a different department, it would be hard for me to convince the stubborn old folks over there even if I wanted to help you…”
“One year?”
Su Mo was troubled. He already knew he would face a lot of restrictions due to his identity since the territory now strictly managed the people who joined. Still, he never expected it to be so challenging.
Moreover, the major departments had separated and become completely independent. Even a person of high status like Feng Long could no longer influence other departments.
Feng Long replied, “Yeah. I’m sure you understand the reason for such restrictions.
“Joining my command would be the best choice for you. After all, through this brief contact, I can feel that you’re…
“Nevermind. You just seem like someone I know. Yeah, you’re so identical to him.
“The reason you’re getting such preferential treatment is partly that you have great potential but also because…you remind me of him!”
