Today, at the Dragon Power Base, a live ammunition exercise is taking place. It’s also a competition between superpower-guided Perceivers. This competition has rewards; first, second, and third place get a chance to upgrade their skills. In the human world, only Dragon Power can offer such rewards. The Special Forces members heard there was an internal competition today, so those without training duties came to watch the excitement. In the Special Forces, only three members have superpower guidance abilities, and since there are rewards for the top three, it means they will get rewarded regardless of their performance. These three superpower-guided Perceivers are here for further training, and this being their first exercise competition, different rewards have already set them apart. So the first exercise competition is considered a gift. Jiang Shaoran and Shen Yunyue graduated from the same Defense University, with Jiang Shaoran being the senior. In the preparation room, Jiang Shaoran teased her junior: "The rewards for the top three are all skill upgrades, seems like no need to compete. Even if you’re at the bottom, you can upgrade your skills." Shen Yunyue wrapped her hands tightly with a cloth strip, seriously saying: "I don’t want to lose, I must get first place." Jiang Shaoran felt her junior was quite strong-willed and asked with a smile, "Why are you so determined?" Shen Yunyue looked up at her and replied, "Then why are you so determined to stay in the Deep Sea Team?" Jiang Shaoran shrugged and said, "I’m different, my skill set can only be effective in the water, on land I’m just a salted fish, I must stay in the Deep Sea Team." Shen Yunyue firmly responded, "Same here, I want to remove all skills except superpower guidance, I want to be the Rocket Army’s eyes, and never a second choice." Jiang Shaoran patted her shoulder and said, "The Battle Zone has only sent the three of you here for further training. Even if you don’t get first place, you can be assigned to other units that need superpower guidance." Shen Yunyue stood upright, clenched her fist, and said, "I don’t want to be a second choice, I want to be the eye that stands the highest and sees the farthest." Jiang Shaoran joked, "If you delete all other skills, then you won’t be able to beat anyone." Shen Yunyue waved dismissively and said, "That’s not important, if I’m in danger, you have to obey and come to protect me." Jiang Shaoran shrugged and said, "Alright, you have it all figured out. Then I wish you good luck. Let me tell you a little secret, aiming for first place is right. "Even if the rewards for this exercise competition are the same, the next one will be different. "In Dragon Power, I can assure you that skill upgrades are unique in the world. As long as you have enough talent and put in enough effort, the rewards will be bigger than you imagined." Updates are released by novel★fire.net "Thank you, senior, I’m heading out." Shen Yunyue, filled with newfound confidence, went out to participate in the exercise competition. This exercise is a live ammunition drill using rockets with a range of ten kilometers, requiring participants to provide guidance at a distance of five kilometers to hit moving targets. Lu Heng sat by the field, watching the exercise, waiting to upgrade the skills of the three after it ended. The Battle Zone Headquarters attaches great importance to the training outcomes of the three people, so they send people to record exercises at such stages. This time Qi Jinhui came personally and sat down on a chair next to Lu Heng, then handed Lu Heng a file folder and said: "The latest intelligence received is about the Life Tree Vine. Given the ambush faced during the last operation, the intelligence department is very cautious about this news." Lu Heng opened the file folder and found the intelligence information to be a bit strange: "The intelligence analysis concludes that the Life Tree Vine is no longer in the hands of the Berg Family?" Qi Jinhui nodded and replied, "Yes, the intelligence received a week ago, the intelligence team has conducted multiple verifications and confirmed that a laboratory on Prudence Island in the White Eagle Federation is conducting research related to the Life Tree Vine." Lu Heng had already seen the mention of Prudence Island and the file even included a satellite map marking its location. This island is located along the West Coast of the White Eagle Federation, 160 kilometers from the coastline. Qi Jinhui continued, "The intelligence team believes the Life Tree Vine is no longer in the hands of the Berg Family because this island is a private island. "The purchaser’s identity is not prominent, but the true owner behind it is the Phoenix Family. "Yes, another Level 33 family in the ASE All-Knowing Eye Alliance, and this family is wealthier than the Berg Family." The Phoenix Family, a White Eagle financial conglomerate, started with the oil industry, and many Middle Eastern wars over oil have this family behind them. Besides oil, the Phoenix Family also controls a large portion of the manufacturing industry within the White Eagle Federation and internationally controls the International Clearing Bank. According to known intelligence, the Phoenix Family directly or indirectly controls 10% of the world’s currency circulation. It’s conceivable how enormous the wealth this family holds. Abyss Descent indeed changed the era, but some things will not change. In this era, Crystal Core resources have a price, and anything with a price can be bought. As long as the human world continues to use currency, these families with massive wealth will not fall. Qi Jinhui continued: "Currently, the person in charge of the Phoenix Family is Lawrence Phoenix, already eighty-six years old, with reports of severe aging over the past few years.
