Nine Star Burden - Chapter 536
Chapter 536: Crescent moon medal
At 4:50 A. M., Jiang Xiao heard the slogan from below the dormitory.
The soldiers had already started their morning exercise? 4:50 am. Hmm, this time is quite humane.
Jiang Xiao got out of bed, took the basin and towel that were provided in the dormitory, and went to the public bathroom to wash up. When he returned, he realized that the door of the dormitory opposite him was already open and the windows were clear.
Second last was dressed in a military uniform and was sitting on a chair, seemingly resting with her eyes closed. However, there were faint fluctuations of star power around her.
Sensing that Jiang Xiao had stopped in his tracks, second last did not look him in the eye and instead said,””Put on your clothes and be on standby.”
“Oh,” Jiang Xiao walked into his room with a basin and looked at the black camouflage uniform that someone had sent to him yesterday.
This was the regular combat uniform of the night guard, not the usual uniform for an “award ceremony.” On his left arm was a black armband with red words written on it, a large “night” was written.
A regular camouflage combat uniform would usually display a military rank in the form of an epaulet or Collar Badge, but this military uniform did not have that.
Jiang Xiao recalled the night guards in the snowfield and realized that he had never seen them wearing epaulets or badges before. On the other hand, the other party, The Guardian Legion, had a badge.
Jiang Xiao changed into the black camouflage uniform, put on his combat cap, and black military boots. He then stuffed his trousers into the boots and tied his shoelaces.
…
He walked to the mirror, put the ID into his chest pocket, and tidied his clothes. He was about to meet a Big Shot, so he was a little nervous.
Well, so …
Jiang Xiao opened the door of the dormitory and looked at second last, who was sitting opposite him. He said softly,””Let’s go have breakfast. ”
Second last was speechless.
The canteen in the Army was really good and Jiang Xiao ate very comfortably.
Different people had different standards for whether the food was delicious or not.
To Jiang Xiao, the quality of the food depended on his mental state after the meal.
As long as he didn’t miss home after the meal, it would be a good meal.
After returning to the dormitory building, Jiang Xiao followed second last into her room and asked her how she should salute.
Although he was already an official guard of the night, Jiang Xiao had yet to salute him.
Under second last’s careful guidance, Jiang Xiao straightened his posture and moved his hands, waiting for the officer to call him.
At eighto’ clock in the morning, officer Feng Yi finally came to visit again and led Jiang Xiao and second last out of the dormitory building to the internal buildings of the military camp.
In a relatively independent courtyard, Jiang Xiao and the others passed through layers of security checks and entered the building before climbing up to the third floor.
After patiently waiting for twenty minutes, under the lead of officer Feng Yi, the two walked into a conference hall-like place. The two soldiers at the door were like Dummies, motionless and solemn.
There was no one in front of the huge conference table. Inside the conference room, there was an old man in casual clothes, sitting on the sofa and quietly drinking tea.
Feng Yi knocked on the door and said,”Senior officer.”
There were no surnames, no military positions, and no unified honorific titles.
The old man was about 60 years old. He was in good spirits and his hair was slightly white. He nodded at the door.
Jiang Xiao had never felt that second last was so serious before. He saluted her while she chanted.
The old man had a kind look on his face. He smiled and pressed his palm down, signaling the two to come in.
“Since ancient times, heroes come from the youth.” The old man’s eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of murkiness. He sized up the two of them back and forth. He wasn’t as serious as she had imagined. He was just like an ordinary and kind old man.
“Luan girl, you’ve brought a good soldier to the Northwest Night Watch Army,” the old man said with a smile.
Jiang Xiao was secretly surprised because it was the first time he had heard her address him that way.
He could tell that second last had probably been in contact with the old man before and was rather appreciated. Even though second last and Jiang Xiao were extremely respectful and solemn, they still addressed the old man in a very friendly manner.
Second last stood up straight and looked straight ahead, as if she had been trained.
The old man turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said,””I heard that you’re the child of the Han family from the northern wasteland reclaimers.”
“Yes, sir.” Jiang Xiao responded.
“Twenty years ago, people would say you’re the child of the Han couple,” the old man said with a chuckle. In the future, people will say that the Han couple are your parents. ”
20 years ago?
He still had three years to work hard.
Was this a goal set by the commander?
The old man smiled, turned to look at the door, and nodded to Feng Yi.
Jiang Xiao was still a little dumbfounded, but second last had already saluted and turned around to leave.
Jiang Xiao hurriedly followed her and exited the conference hall before meeting up with officer Feng Yi at the door again.
What was he going to do?
The two of them followed Feng Yi to the second floor. With the same layout, they once again entered the same meeting room, but there were two rows of soldiers standing there.
……
An hour later, the dumbfounded Jiang Xiao was sent back to the dormitory by Feng Yi with a Red Square box and an exquisite Crescent medal hanging on his chest.
Both Jiang Xiao and second last sat in their respective dormitories, unable to calm down from the excitement.
The crescent moon medal was a special Medal of Merit unique to the guardians of the night, used to honor soldiers who had made outstanding contributions in the war.
No matter from which perspective,
This was a real honor, precious and rare.
Just as Jiang Xiao stood on the stage of the conference room and Feng Yi put the crescent moon medal on his chest, a message was sent to his internal star map:
[Merit system unlocked: 100 skill points awarded.]
You have received the [night watchman-crescent moon medal] and 3000 skill points.
How to solve the problem? The only way was to get rich!
Jiang Xiao looked at the 3218 skill points below him and was at a loss for words.
He had never seen such a huge sum of money …
In Jiang Xiao’s internal star map, the illusionary Jiang Xiao was in the background, and the black upper right corner of the star map flashed, after which a round medal with a black background and silver edges appeared and hung high above.
On the exquisite black medal, there was a silver crescent moon, which was half a Silver Moon.
The medal in the internal star map was very dreamy, and the one in Jiang Xiao’s hand was even more exquisite.
The guardians of the night had their own custom-made Medal of Honor, which was divided into three levels.
From low to high, they were the new moon medal, the crescent moon medal, and the full moon medal.
As the name suggested, the lowest level was a crescent moon, and the corresponding moon phase was a New Moon.
The second level was the half-moon shape, which corresponded to a crescent moon.
The highest level was full moon, and the corresponding moon was full moon.
Jiang Xiao opened the Crimson box and saw the medal certificate inside: “…… Valiant and tenacious in battle, determined to carry out orders, outstanding achievements in completing missions, remarkable achievements, and has made important contributions. Specially awarded a Crescent-moon merit point reward. ”
Jiang Xiao licked his lips and thought to himself, is it because I’m determined to carry out my orders and rushed here from Zhongyuan province?
Or would he command second last to kill the leader of dark hall, turn the tide of the battle, and end the long battle by getting rid of the cancer that was dark hall?
Or would he go around treating people on the battlefield after the war, pulling his comrades back from the brink of death and completely healing them?
Or … All three aspects?
Jiang Xiao put the certificate away carefully and removed the crescent medal on his chest. He looked at the exquisite medal that gave him a total of 3000 skill points and began to let his imagination run wild …
They won the provincial League and the National League. Although they were rewarded with skill points, it was a world of difference compared to the merit points.
As expected, did a real man still have to go to the battlefield and make contributions?
Then … I’m now an official member of The Night Watch Army. Besides, the highest-ranking officer of the Northwest Night Watch Army and officer Feng Yi, who passed on his message, have no intention of making Jiang Xiao drop out.
Jiang Xiao’s other identity was still valid. As a student of Star Warriors University in Beijing, he would be representing the country in the competition.
If Jiang Xiao were to achieve outstanding results in the world Cup …
They should at least be given a New Moon medal of the lowest level, right?
How many skill points does the new moon medal give? Of course it would be less than 3000, but it should be at least 1000, right? At least 500?
She could tell that there should be many medals hanging on the upper right corner of the internal star map. Jiang Xiao’s hobby of collecting things had already begun to stir up trouble.
However, having said that, it was really due to various factors that he was able to win the crescent moon medal this time. Jiang Xiao was not very sure if he would have such an opportunity in the future. Don’t even mention the highest level full moon medal, that’s almost impossible to get, right?
In addition, the night guard Army had special Medal of Honor of three levels. Did the wasteland reclaimers also have it?
Did the victors Legion also have them? What about the mountain shattering Army? What about the Guardians? What about the other special star Warrior forces?
Uh …
Jiang Xiao hurriedly shook his head. It was a good idea, but reality wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
The dual identities of an apprentice wasteland reclamation cultivator and a guard of the night were already a product of special conditions. As for the other Huaxia Star Warriors, Jiang Xiao definitely had no chance.
Jiang Xiao turned around to look at the dormitory opposite. The doors of the two dormitories were wide open, and Jiang Xiao could easily see second last sitting in front of the table, looking down and studying.
Just like Jiang Xiao, she was awarded the crescent moon medal and she was the one who slashed the monster into pieces. As the well-deserved leader of the tail feathers team, she had also received the reward she deserved for her outstanding military achievements in the conkkin mission.
Jiang Xiao put away the medal and walked towards her, only to discover that second last, who had always been sharp, didn’t seem to have noticed his arrival.
The reward in the internal star map made Jiang Xiao’s thoughts stray a little. He didn’t realize the true meaning of the medal.
To second last, the crescent moon medal was the greatest honor and reward in her military career.
Second last was a mature soldier with a strong belief. She didn’t need any external reminders or encouragement because she knew clearly what she wanted and what she wanted to do.
But on the back of this crescent moon medal, engraved was her heart full of blood and tears.
Even someone as cold as her had a tinge of reminiscence in her icy eyes. Her long fingers gently stroked the silver half-moon, and the scene was so beautiful.
Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but reach out and press his palm on her head gently.
This world was colorful and lustrous, but this was only on the surface. In fact, this world was not as beautiful as people imagined.
Many people in this world were searching for the meaning of their lives and the value of their lives.
Second last’s memories were brought back by the medal, perhaps because she was reminiscing about her cold and cruel military career and the days when she had been struggling all the way.
Jiang Xiao just wanted to rub her head gently when she wasn’t paying attention.
Finally, he had a story that he could really bring out
