Ai Xiangqian squinted his eyes and thought of the name he had just seen, and then reopened his position, buying "Qin Shi".

The so-called Best Rookie is a new play in the market.

Every month, the fastest improving, most potentially powerful supernova will be selected as a "potential stock".

There was still some time before getting off work, so Ai Xiangqian opened the [Capital Giants Group].

He found that many people were already discussing the candidate for Best Rookie of the month.

[Floating Profit Cultivator: I recently took a fancy to a supernova from a border planet, very promising, I'm going all in, betting on his takeoff!]

[Doing T Immortal: Who is it? Give us a hint!]

[High Buy Low Sell Master: Cultivator's insight is not accurate, last time he talked about that new star from Heng Province, Zhou Yuanchen, hyped him up to the skies! But nothing came of it!

[Floating Profit Cultivator: That's not accurate! The last miscalculation happened because I got some inside news from Entropy Sea Bank, Heng Province's Zhou Yuanchen had extraordinary potential, but his strength growth curve suddenly stopped, only recently did it start to surge.]

[Doing T Immortal: Cultivator, stop teasing us, spill the details. The Star Cup youth group is about to decide the ranks, the front ten have low yields, have to keep an eye on the ones in the back to buy and sell.]

[Floating Profit Cultivator: Hehe, Yang Xiao from Yuanzhou, he's a bastard son of a branch of Yuanzhou's Yang clan that was stranded outside, just recognized his ancestry, worth the anticipation.]

Ai Xiangqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought Qin Shi was being targeted by this old guy.

Hurriedly stirred the water, typing to chime in.

[True Monarch Eating Noodles with Lights Off: Yang Xiao? That maniac Yang Xiao who joined the Fourth Battle Group? I've heard of him, excellent front-line performance.]

[Floating Profit Cultivator: Correct. True Monarch's information is indeed well-informed, Yang Xiao is definitely the Best Rookie of the month, he just joined the Star Cup youth group, the future is promising!]

[Doing T Immortal: Buy a hand to test the waters.]

Ai Xiangqian closed the terminal, showing a sly fox-like smile.

"Little Qin, you better not let me eat noodles again, make an effort, overshadow Yang Xiao!"

...

...

"Have a bowl of noodles first to pad your stomach? The canteen has nothing else."

Having dealt with the last obstacle Reinhardt, Qin Shi, accompanied by the injured Fu Lei and Gaopao from the Yellow Spring Training Camp, successfully drove back to White Poplar Barrier City.

As for the support trio, they had a "temporary base" provided by Xuyang Heavy Industry, no need to enter White Poplar Barrier City for supplies.

When the jeep drove into the Yellow Spring Training Camp, it was already sunset, the bloody red setting sun shining through the window.

Qin Shi, while lowering his head to eat noodles, thought about how to report Jiana, a mere recruit is not eligible to shelter follower creatures.

"How come you're eating this?"

Fu Lei, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, sat opposite Qin Shi.

Gotta admit, a Specialized Level's physical prowess is indeed a notch above the Amateur Level.

Even with such severe injuries, Coach Fu could walk around after soaking in nutritional liquid for twenty minutes.

"Adjutant, give my food quota for this month to Xiao Qin."

Fu Lei said boldly.

"This kid kinda saved my life, deserves some repayment."

The adjutant nodded, quickly retrieving a special container from the cold storage, placing it before Qin Shi.

"This is 'high-energy food', specially supplied by the military."

Fu Lei explained:

"Don't be deceived by its small quantity, this food is specially processed, made with a mix of different ingredients.

Just this bit, nearly ten thousand calories, enough for your consumption."

Qin Shi's throat moved slightly, upon entering the Specialized Level, ordinary food could no longer satiate him, only the purest life force could support the operation of his Mortal Body, cultivation techniques to be driven.

He picked a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it in his mouth, indeed extraordinary.

The taste was nothing special, without much seasoning added, quite plain and nothing commendable.

But the contained energy was extremely explosive, instantly devoured by the body's cells once entering.

Qin Shi picked up food as fast as the wind, turning into an unfeeling eating machine, cleaning out the food no more than five hundred grams in the special container.

"Enough to open the third stage, for a full fifty minutes."

Qin Shi roughly estimated.

The high-energy food provided by Fu Lei didn't fall short in nutritional value to highly concentrated fifth or sixth level Energy Liquid.

"Not too bad right? When you reach my military rank, you'll have a corresponding food quota every month."

Fu Lei, wrapped like a zongzi, spoke in a muffled voice.

"The evolution of life force, the transformation of the Mortal Body, our metabolism rate far exceeds ordinary people.

Especially every battle, the energy consumed is extremely terrifying.

Logistics is the most important in war, so the highest research institute developed high-energy food specifically targeting the Martial Arts Path.

This stuff is more useful than United Pharmaceutical's expensive Energy Liquid."

Qin Shi agreed wholeheartedly, he still felt a bit unsatisfied after eating.

"This time, your exploration mission was perfectly accomplished, not only getting the full amount of Black Medicine, but also able to exchange for some other resources.

Where do you think you're lacking?"

Fu Lei asked.

"Battle potential, the way to convert potential into battle power."

Qin Shi replied.

"You kid..."

Seeing Qin Shi radiating heat like a blast furnace, Fu Lei couldn't help but exclaim, being young is great.

Eat well, drink up, sleep soundly, and life force skyrockets, making the middle-aged man whose physical capabilities were declining greatly envious.

"The resources at the Huangquan training camp are among the best, even when compared to White Poplar Barrier City. You should carefully select when the time comes."

Listening to Fu Lei's words, Qin Shi inexplicably felt that the Huangquan training camp instructor had deeper implications.

"Any recommendations from the instructor?"

He asked instinctively.

Fu Lei maintained a stern face, speaking with righteousness, his seriousness visible even through the bandages:

"Resource exchange by new recruits at the training camp is a personal decision. How could I give you hints? That'd be cheating! Against regulations!"

Qin Shi's mouth twitched, Fu instructor didn't seem like someone strictly adhering to rules.

He bowed his head in thought, relying on the black medicine to stimulate flesh and blood, estimating that it wouldn't be long before completing the fifth rebirth.

The current cultivation resources were sufficient, and he reckoned Huangquan training camp wouldn't offer anything notably beneficial.

"However, there's one very dangerous item that you should avoid thoughtlessly exchanging, don't gamble with your own life."

Fu Lei solemnly warned:

"Residual image crystal! That thing is extremely dangerous, make sure to heed this warning!"

After finishing, Fu instructor stood and left the canteen aided by his adjutant.

"Instructor, what you're doing doesn't exactly adhere to regulations."

The adjutant sighed.

Such an obvious hint, even a fool could understand.

"Regardless, my warning is purely out of comprehensive consideration for the new recruits' personal safety. If you insist on saying I've leaked information, I'd refuse to admit it."

Fu Lei grumbled inwardly:

"The batch of residual image crystals at Huangquan training camp are all ancient relics.

Wonder if this kid will draw the 'grand prize' and reveal the first generation's top ten?"

...

...

Qin Shi finished eating, his life force surged like a tide, reaching a peak state.

Together with Gao Pao and Zhao Su who had just returned from the military hospital, they settled the exploration mission and handed over the collected pollution samples.

The staff in charge of the matter eyed the tactical backpack filled with increasingly valuable pollution samples, among which were even followers of the third disaster level.

"Did you guys raid the Human-faced Spider's nest?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Gao Pao and Zhao Su exchanged glances, then puffed up their chests.

Following brother Qin, we all have face!

"Accumulated merit points up to eighty. Besides five cans of high-purity black medicine, do you need anything else?"

Recalling Fu Lei's "hint," Qin Shi thought for a moment, and made a decision:

"Is there a residual image crystal?"

He had just scoped out the exchange list but couldn't find such an item.

"Hold on, I'll check the stock list."

The staff seemed to have an impression, the exchange list was updated every five years; some "antiques" not listed was quite normal.

Upon careful investigation, he really found the "bottom-drawer" residual image crystal.

"High-risk item, not recommended for new recruits..."

Staff hesitated, asking:

"Are you sure you want to exchange?"

"Of course."

Qin Shi nodded.

"Sign here, stating it's a voluntary act, acknowledging all responsibility."

The staff handed over the document, inwardly wondering how the new recruit knew about the residual image crystal.

This item was rare, indeed seldom seen, but it wasn't particularly useful, its actual value was mediocre.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be tucked away in the warehouse.

"Residual image crystal, contains imprints of martial artist spirits from different levels, a primary item for teaching before simulation technology was so advanced."

Gao Pao was curious why brother Qin spent so many merit points to exchange for this item and leaned in to flip through the 'user manual'.

"It's also known as 'historical echo', each piece of residual image crystal comes from the corridor of past spaces.

Users can truly immerse in history through sensing the spirit imprint, listening to the teachings of predecessors..."
