Cosmic-Level Demon God

As the Supernova of the Tai'an Region and currently the most popular young genius in Heng Province, Qin Shi naturally had to set an example.

With the major development campaign in full swing, he couldn't stay in the rear and had to head to the frontline to lead by example through action.

"The Western Front, huh."

Qin Shi received the summons report from Secretary Huo of the Inspection Department. It was said that this grand development campaign was divided into two fronts: east and west.

One team advanced eastward, while another expanded westward, proceeding side by side and achieving victories on both fronts.

This was the military strategy set by the Governor's Mansion.

"This major development campaign will be overseen and commanded in full by the Governor's Mansion.

Fifteen thousand troops will be deployed to the Western Front, and twenty thousand to the Eastern Front.

The pollution zones in the former are not densely distributed, but they are difficult to clear, with many high-sequence affiliated creatures. You must be careful, Qin,"

said Secretary Huo.

"Yes, I heard from Teacher Lin that Lord Governor has also deployed nineteen Divine Machines... I wonder if I'll have a chance to pilot one,"

Qin Shi said, eagerly rubbing his hands together as he put away the summons report.

The last time he experienced the exhilarating sensation of manipulating the Divine Machine through mechanical means, it left him craving more, still reminiscing about it to this day.

"Well... it depends on the situation. Although you've obtained the military pilot qualification certificate, you don't have any service experience, so you may not be selected,"

Secretary Huo said, secretly relieved that Qin Shi showed no resistance.

For someone of the Scorching Sun level, the battlefield was not a great place, especially for a young genius who hadn't matured to the "main force level."

With a high school student like Qin Shi, the Tai'an Region could never give him "commander" treatment, as that would be arrogance toward war and disrespect for the lives of the conscripted soldiers.

Starting from the bottom meant increased danger, as pawns often lacked the ability to protect themselves in the rapidly changing battle situations.

Even at the Specialized Level, you wouldn't make much of a splash on the meat-grinder-like large battlefield.

"When do I depart?"

Qin Shi asked.

For his first time on the battlefield, he had to prepare well and say goodbye to his older sister and younger sibling.

"You're in the third wave,"

Secretary Huo said.

"By the way, you've entered the review channel for the youth group of the Star Cup. This is a mysterious item from the Star Sea that will verify and record your confrontations with the Chaos Faction, and calculate points."

Holvren handed a transparent potion to Qin Shi, who glanced at the golden liquid swaying inside.

"Refined from minerals mined from beyond the Star Sea, it can be injected into the body to form a 'mark,' putting you under the Judicial Court's surveillance,"

explained Secretary Huo.

"This item is extremely sensitive to the aura of the Chaos Faction, releasing a searing intent to make the blood boil.

Every young genius qualified to participate in the Star Cup will undergo this injection for the Judicial Court's final score calculation."

Qin Shi nodded, finally completing the procedure after such a long delay.

Next, he would be able to freely launch into his points challenge.

"Thanks for making the special trip, Brother Huo,"

Qin Shi said with a cheerful smile.

"Just doing my duty. Additionally, the Ying clan still hopes to meet with you,"

Secretary Huo hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Ying clan?

Qin Shi squinted his eyes. Even after dealing with Ying Lin, they were still haunting him, planning to cling onto him?

"Is it Ying Huang, or the Ying clan?"

he asked, frowning.

He had learned from his third senior sister, Yu Weiwei, that Old Zhang did indeed have "collaborations" with Ying Huang. If it weren't for Ying Lin's stupidity, easily getting sold out, triggering the Nanhuang Daoist School's defense ordinance, he wouldn't have made it into that little red building.

"It was personally proposed by Ying Huang,"

Secretary Huo replied.

He didn't want to act as a messenger, after all, being the trusted secretary of the Minister of the Inspection Department, getting involved with the Ying clan could easily cause misunderstandings.

However, after proactively reporting to Chen Ruofu, the minister not only didn't object but also showed a positive attitude.

"Alright, give them the courtesy,"

Qin Shi didn't hesitate and agreed decisively.

Holvren represented the Inspection Department and, furthermore, represented Old Chen.

The other party choosing to act as a middleman suggested Ying Huang had a favorable attitude, making it worthwhile to meet him.

"I'll help him arrange a time and place for your meeting,"

Secretary Huo smiled, and just as he was about to take his leave, he added:

"By the way, Qin, a few days ago, you and Miss Yu from the Nanhuang Daoist School thwarted the Great Demon Getu, and this news has spread rapidly.

Therefore, when you head to the Western Front, the Inspection Department will activate the secrecy protocols and place you in the 'Forward Camp.'

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Wasn't that accomplishment among his battles not particularly prominent?

Why did it require secrecy protocols to conceal his whereabouts?

"According to the Netherworld Research Institute's warning, the Great Demon Getu is suspected of marking you. If you appear openly on the Western Front, it might attract a large number of Esotericists and affiliated creatures.

Therefore... to be cautious, we'll activate the secrecy protocols to avoid affecting the battle situation,"

Secretary Huo said helplessly, this young master was indeed prone to making a fuss, causing quite a stir wherever he went.

"I'll be careful and try to keep a low profile,"

Qin Shi shrugged. Holvren's meaning was simple, he was akin to a flare in the night sky, appearing on any frontline would attract heavy fire.

For his own safety, secrecy was maintained as he headed to the frontline forces.

"It actually suits my preferences better,"

If not for the secrecy protocols, Qin Shi would most likely become a "propaganda tool," slashing apart affiliated creatures while posing for the photographer to capture scenes.

Such a hassle!

After Holvren left, Qin Shi confirmed with Old Chen and started injecting the golden potion.

He felt nothing particularly strange, as after reaching the Specialized Level, his Cultivation Furnace progress had skyrocketed, and his blood and flesh had become hot and intense.
