Walking into the room where the 20 card masters were, Chen Mu was startled.
He saw countless power cards piled up on the table, and he picked one up at random. Four-star!
He picked up another one, and it was still four-star!
Four-star!
Four-star …
The table was full of four-star power cards!
Thinking back to how he had doubted those people had the ability to make four-star power cards, Chen Mu felt a little embarrassed.
But, those guys had a really high professionalism!
Chen Mu was secretly amazed, having never seen such hard-working high-grade card masters.
Just looking at the small mountain of four-star power cards on the table, he could imagine how efficient and hard-working those card masters were!
Those card masters had completely subverted Chen Mu's impression of high-grade card masters.
When Chen Mu went in, not a single one of them raised their heads. They were all working hard, their eyes red, and quite a few of them had swollen eyes, which were obviously caused by staying up late.
Chen Mu stood there for a long time, with no one paying any attention to him.
Those people were really too engrossed. Their expressions were a little dull, and their movements were a little mechanical, though their speed wasn't the least bit slow.
Seeing that, Chen Mu could only open his mouth to say, "Please stop for a moment, everyone."
What Chen Mu said broke the silence in the card making room.
The card masters from the Origins Academy all raised their heads, each with a blank, lifeless expression, which moved Chen Mu to no end.
He knew it was easy to get that kind of expression when you repeated some work too much.
They were all good comrades!
After a full half minute, they finally came back to their senses.
When the card master in the lead saw Chen Mu, his face darkened, and he said bluntly, "What are you doing here?"
Then, the guy raised his head and pointed at the four-star power cards on the table, asking proudly, "Are these four-star power cards enough?"
There were at least 400 four-star power cards on the table, stacked together in a dazzling display.
After thinking about it and doing some serious calculations, Chen Mu very honestly said, "Not enough."
More than 400 four-star power cards looked like a lot, but their team had already expanded to 400 people, so naturally it wouldn't be enough if they were to spread it out.
Moreover, Chen Mu had always felt the more of those battle reserves, the better.
A vein popped out on the forehead of the card master in the lead, but thinking of the president's instructions, he swallowed the curses that were on the tip of his tongue.
However, his face became even darker, and he said with extreme dissatisfaction, "Then what are you doing here?"
"Put the power cards aside for now. You have other work to do," Chen Mu answered very directly.
Everyone in the card making studio breathed a sigh of relief. Making four-star power cards those past few days had nearly driven them crazy!
In their eyes, that kind of mechanical card making without any technical content was undoubtedly tormenting people's nerves.
They had lived like princes for a long time. When had they ever done such a job?
If it weren't for the fact that they were indignant, these people would most likely be slacking off.
Now that they heard that they didn't need to make four-star power cards, they were all relieved.
Heavens, I've finally escaped from the abyss of suffering!
Many people felt their noses turn sour. For the sake of their pride, they had been working day and night these days.
Due to the high-intensity work and lack of sufficient rest time, almost everyone's weight plummeted.
All of them, including the lead card master, had only one thought in their minds. As long as they didn't have to make four-star power cards, they would be willing to do any kind of work.
"Alright."
The lead card master readily agreed, so refreshingly that Chen Mu felt all the more that the professionalism of those people was impeccable.
Training Field No. 9 was located on the seventh floor.
It was a large-scale training field that could accommodate about 700 people training at the same time. It was also the largest training field on the entire base.
Since there had been so few of them, it was the first time it had been opened.
Of course, that was only for those 405 card artisans.
Bogner had closed off all the passageways leading to the seventh floor so that no one could spy on them.
Bogner was angular, and his gaze was sharp.
There was absolute silence in the huge training field, and everyone was looking at the chief of security in awe.
Probably no one would have thought that the so-called chief of security was just an identity Bogner had casually given to himself.
But, even if anyone knew, no one would have the slightest disrespect.
They had seen with their own eyes how submissive those 20 aces were in front of Bogner, as docile as harmless lambs.
Their thinking was very simple. If even those aces didn't dare to be the least bit perfunctory, how could rookies like them have any room to put on airs?
Moreover, there were still two card artisans standing behind Bogner!
They were real aces who could casually stretch out their little fingers and crush a whole bunch of them to death.
"Starting today, you will undergo the most basic training."
Bogner's face was expressionless, and his somewhat austere gaze swept over them. No one dared to look him in the eye.
"This training is very simple. You won't get hurt, and you won't die. It's very safe." Baring his snow-white teeth, Bogner's smile showed a chill no matter how you looked at it.
Very quickly, they deeply understood what it meant to have no injuries or deaths.
They repeated some basic movements over and over again, and Bogner was extremely picky about the essentials of those movements, not allowing the slightest deviation to appear.
Moreover, it was formation training. If one person in the formation didn't pass, they would have to start all over again.
The card artisans complained incessantly, though they only dared to hide off to the side and complain when they were resting.
Once the training started, no one dared to be the least bit lazy.
Of the two people behind the chief, one was good at scouting and scanning cards, and no small movement in the entire training field could escape his perception.
Although the other card artisan looked stout and short, his solid muscles made him look like a small mountain.
What was even more frightening was the ruthlessness in his gaze.
After one of the lazy fellows was pulled out, he peeled off three whole layers of skin in his hands.
The entire training field was filled with mournful screams. Everyone else's faces were ashen, and their hearts tightened along with the screams of the offending card artisan.
Having learned their lesson, the rest of them were naturally a lot more well-behaved.
But they quickly discovered that as long as they were serious about training, no matter what they said during their breaks, the boss wouldn't care.
"Dammit, when are these days going to end?" someone couldn't help but complain.
"Who knows? Anyway, I think it's pretty good. We don't have to risk our lives to get so much money. It's really worth it!" someone said a bit more honestly.
"Yeah, it's hard to make money these days!
With such a high salary, it's normal for us to suffer a little, "someone echoed.
"I'm not afraid of suffering, but dammit, if we keep training like this, I'm going to go crazy!
It's just like cutting people up with a small knife and slowly torturing them! "
Once that was said, quite a few people immediately expressed their agreement.
Suddenly, a cold laugh was heard. "What do you know? The chief uses military training.
That kind of standard is high even in the military.
Hmph, the chief isn't a simple person!
And then there's our boss, who's even more unfathomable. "
"Military training methods?
Don't joke around, old brother. If the military were to train such useless things, how could they fight a war?! "someone couldn't help but retort.
The first person rolled his eyes. "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.
This is standard military disciplinary training, and every recruit has to pass it. "
Seeing everyone still looking at him suspiciously, he said with a cold laugh, "I've been a soldier for five years.
In any case, I'll advise you all to train well when you need it. You'll know when the time comes that this stuff can save your life. "
After saying that, he didn't bother to see everyone's reaction. He turned around and left.
Bogner had long since noticed that card artisan called Jiang Liang.
His movements were very precise, and he could tell at a glance that he had been a soldier.
Those rookie card artisans were then undergoing the most basic military disciplinary training.
Disciplinary training was a special training that new recruits had to undergo when they first joined the army. It was to cultivate the soldiers' organizational discipline as well as their sense of teamwork. Its biggest characteristic was that it was boring.
The federal military's selection process was very strict. Only those card artisans with power or potential could enter the military.
The military also gathered the federation's most elite.
An ordinary soldier was often an ace.
The federal military's welfare was excellent, and it enjoyed a high reputation and social status.
Within the military, there was a perfect training system, and all kinds of resources couldn't be compared to the outside world.
Once enlisted, there were very few people who would be discharged.
Only those old card artisans who had reached retirement age would choose to leave the military.
Jiang Liang looked to be only about 24. It was reasonable to say that a soldier of that age wouldn't leave the ranks.
Moreover, he had the qualifications to enlist. As long as he still had his power, he would certainly be warmly recruited by every card artisan firm. How could he have gotten to that point?
He asked someone to bring Jiang Liang to him.
"Been a soldier?"
"Yes, sir!"
Jiang Liang stood ramrod straight with his head held high and his eyes looking straight ahead.
"How many years?"
"Reporting, sir!
Five years! "
A look of surprise flashed through Bogner's eyes.
Although five years in the army didn't count as seniority, he was still a veteran.
He knew the rules of the federal military. They had always cherished the veterans and gave them very good treatment.
Jiang Liang was only 24 that year, and he had already been a soldier for five years. That meant he hadn't even been 20 when he enlisted.
To be able to enlist at the age of 20 showed that the people who recruited him had a pretty high evaluation of his potential.
