I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 820 - 564: 8th Tier—Source Blood Pill (2)

As he spoke, his eyes were full of amazement: "Brother Li, you wouldn’t believe how incredible Robert’s two guns are! That sniper rifle pierced through the head of a Tier Seven Snow Lizard King with just one shot, knocking it down entirely; and the handgun, once the trigger is pulled, it just can’t stop, with bullets like a storm. After several rounds of bullet storms, those snow beasts didn’t even have a chance to fight back, all turned into sieves!"

"The Military Lord just went to the Imperial Capital once and managed to bring back such a big shot, it’s truly unbelievable!"

Mentioning Robert, Li Qi’s face showed a bit more seriousness.

Robert came to Ice Extreme Pass after the Dan Tower incident.

The boss had mentioned to him before that Robert was a top-notch talent he recruited, not only extraordinary in combat but also a rare versatile genius.

At first, he thought it was just Qin Tian’s flattery, but after truly interacting with Robert, he realized that the word "genius" was not enough to describe the terror of this gentleman.

In terms of combat power, he could easily sweep away all the experts of Ice Extreme Pass with just three guns, even Ran Tu could not withstand his three shots when going all out.

In terms of knowledge, he was proficient in various fields, especially in machinery, materials, electronic communications, with attainments comparable to the top figures of the Empire’s Academy of Sciences. Li Qi even witnessed him crafting mechs by hand, easily hacking into the dark web, retrieving the hidden intelligence of the Luoho Clan.

Put down the gun, he’s a top wise man of the world; pick up the gun, he’s a seven-tier war god sweeping across the land. Such a character is so absurd that it’s hard to believe.

Beep beep—!

At this moment, both Li Qi and Kane’s smart wristwatches emitted a crisp notification sound.

The two instinctively looked down to see the screen, which bore no extra words, just a short and familiar sentence: "I’m back!"

"The Military Lord! It’s a message from the Military Lord!"

Kane jumped up suddenly, his face full of ecstatic joy, "Great! The Military Lord is back!"

Compared to Kane’s excited commotion, Li Qi remained much calmer. He picked up the smart wristwatch, looked at those five concise words, and a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes.

As expected, the boss never disappoints.

"Don’t get too excited, calm down, after all, you’re also..."

Before Li Qi could finish speaking, Kane dashed out of the office with a "swish," followed by an excited shout coming through the window:

"Good news! Great news! The Military Lord is back! The Military Lord has returned safely!"

"This kid." Li Qi shook his head helplessly.

Never mind, this works too. With Kane being such a "loudspeaker" spreading the word everywhere, the shadows lingering in the hearts of the soldiers at Ice Extreme Pass for days can finally be completely dispelled.

He no longer paid attention to the commotion outside, sat back at his desk, organized all the current affairs of Ice Extreme Pass, including defense deployments, resource reserves, and the movement of key personnel, into a file and quickly sent it to Qin Tian.

With the boss back, everything at Ice Extreme Pass should return to its proper track and advance towards further goals.

Beyond the distant city walls, the cold wind still howled, but Ice Extreme Pass was boiling over with excitement due to Qin Tian’s return.

The originally heavy and oppressive atmosphere was replaced by joy and cheers, as smiles reappeared on tired faces. The vast, white Ice Extreme Pass seemed to gain a touch of warmth and vitality because of Qin Tian’s return.

...

Cracked Soul Ice Valley

"What? He actually returned?!"

Inzaghi Luoho abruptly stood up, his face ashen, the already unsightly visage contorted further with rage and resentment.

Qin Tian, that guy, not only came back alive but also brought Yun He Li and all the abducted Pill Masters back safely!

This news, like a red-hot dagger, fiercely stabbed into his heart. Already brimming with frustration due to continuous setbacks and losses in recent clashes with Ice Extreme Pass, he was now utterly consumed by fury.

"Useless! All a bunch of useless people! What a lousy Xieshen Association, can’t even handle one Qin Tian, useless! Useless!!!"

Inzaghi Luoho slammed a fist onto the icy jade desk before him, and the hard icy jade instantly shattered into countless ice shards, scattering everywhere.

Ever since Qin Tian took command of Ice Extreme Pass, his days had become more and more intolerable, and the status of Cracked Soul Ice Valley had plummeted.

The Empire’s resources, policy support, and top talents all flooded towards Ice Extreme Pass; merchants and refugees within the valley also abandoned him, scrambling towards Ice Extreme Pass.

The once-bustling Cracked Soul Ice Valley is now nothing but desolate and cold, and he, the Guardian Envoy of the valley, is in an extremely embarrassing situation.

With Cracked Soul Ice Valley’s bleak operations, coupled with frequent defeats against Ice Extreme Pass, his family’s doubts about him deepened, and his competitors within the clan opportunistically stabbed him in the back, withholding his resource allocation, reducing his manpower, leading to dwindling support from his family.

On the other hand, Ice Extreme Pass is thriving and unstoppable.

One Tier Six and Tier Seven powerhouse after another emerged, the force growing increasingly strong, to the extent that the Empire directly allocated an entire Legion under Qin Tian’s command, granting him the highest trust and support.

With one rising and the other falling, Cracked Soul Ice Valley was utterly trampled under Ice Extreme Pass, not even qualified to lift its head.

He is a direct descendant of the Luoho Clan; when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

During the period when Qin Tian went to Subspace for the rescue, away from Ice Extreme Pass, he did not miss any chance to create trouble for Ice Extreme Pass in secret. However, whether because of a traitor in his midst or because the opposing intelligence network was too efficient, every one of his plans was precisely uncovered by the enemy. With each action ending in failure, his manpower continued to dwindle.
