The room was quietly lit. Qin Tian raised his hand to activate his smart wristband, sending out a video communication request.A few seconds later, a light blue holographic projection lit up in the air, and a familiar face appeared.“Sir!” Qin Tian straightened his posture and gave a standard military salute. “Qin Tian, congratulations on successfully completing the Demon Suppression Abyss mission.” Yan Qing’s face showed a hint of a smile, and as his gaze swept over the epaulet, there was no surprise in his expression. “Also, congratulations on your promotion to Major General—now your rank and mine are equal.”Qin Tian came from the Seventh Bureau, and even though this promotion followed a special procedure, his original unit would still be notified.Previously, Qin Tian’s promotions were handled by the Seventh Bureau submitting the paperwork and the higher-ups approving it. But this time was different. Qin Tian triggered the “Special Military Merit Exceptional Promotion” clause, directly decided by the highest military council of the Qingmu Star Region, and even Marshal Lin, who was far away in the capital, couldn't intervene.Earlier, to conceal Qin Tian’s clone identity and his rocket-like growth rate, Marshal Lin had personally suppressed his promotions to avoid attracting attention, but now he was powerless to stop it.Thinking of this, Yan Qing felt a surge of emotion.Qin Tian was someone he had discovered himself. When they first met, he was a taciturn clone soldier who had just awakened his psionic abilities. It was he who sent him to the military academy for further studies.At the time, he saw Qin Tian’s extraordinary qualities and had high expectations for him.But what he never expected was that in just two short years, Qin Tian not only achieved numerous miraculous feats on the battlefield, but his strength and military rank also soared, now catching up to an old man like himself, who had been toiling in the Seventh Bureau for decades.Of course, this was also the limitation of the intelligence department.Promotions in the intelligence line are quick in the early stages; as long as one completes a few infiltrations and intercepts some key intelligence, their military rank can steadily rise. But the further one goes, the harder it becomes.At the general officer level, frontline generals who can lead troops and turn the tide of battle are far more likely to gain merit than intelligence officers. Looking across the empire, not a single marshal or grand general came from intelligence.If it weren't for this Demon Suppression Abyss campaign, Qin Tian would have had to endure at least another three to five years, or even longer, to be promoted to Major General.But now, all that was in the past.Yan Qing looked at the tall and upright Qin Tian in the projection. Now that both of them were Major Generals of the Empire, it was no longer possible for Qin Tian to stay on Silver Gray Star and wait for him to assign missions, as he used to do in his leisure time.Updates are not easy, remember to share 101kanshu.com.As a Major General, he was bound to occupy a place in the core of the Seventh Bureau.However, within the Seventh Bureau, a position that matched Qin Tian’s abilities and rank could not be found for a while.Yan Qing sighed softly, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes—the day Qin Tian would leave the Qingmu Star Region and head to the Imperial Capital for a higher appointment was probably not far off.“Sir, no matter how my military rank changes, I will always be your subordinate; that has not changed,” Qin Tian said earnestly.Hearing this, Yan Qing’s heart warmed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Compared to the fledgling clone soldier he once was, the current Qin Tian had changed too much.But this was a good thing.Yan Qing knew that although the military was based on strength and merit, to truly reach a high position, these two alone were far from enough.The higher one went, the intertwining of connections and the exchange of resources were unavoidable hurdles.If Qin Tian were still as taciturn and poor at communication as before, no matter how strong his combat power, he would only become a “sharp weapon” in someone else’s hands, seemingly glorious but in reality a pawn to be manipulated.Only by being like this now, able to maintain his true self while understanding the nuances of dealing with people, truly integrating into the circle of high-ranking generals, would he have the possibility of escaping the fate of # Nоvеlight # a “pawn” in the future and becoming a player who controls the game and his own life.“Sir, the Demon Suppression Abyss mission has been successfully concluded. I await your instructions for the next course of action,” Qin Tian said, his posture rigid and his tone solemn.Yan Qing waved his hand, his tone softening a bit: “You’ve worked hard on this mission. Go back to Silver Gray Star and rest well for a while.”37His gaze fell on the imperial glory medal on Qin Tian’s chest. The crimson gold background, adorned with flowing light, each line silently spoke of the weight of military achievements—he knew better than anyone that this medal was never easily obtained. Only by achieving outstanding merits that turned the tide of battle, and having fought several times on the line between life and death, could this medal be worn on one’s chest.For Qin Tian to possess it, there must have been unimaginable hardships hidden behind it.As the superior who personally brought Qin Tian up, Yan Qing felt both the pride of a “subordinate becoming successful” and a deep understanding of the effort behind this achievement.At this moment, Qin Tian’s most deserved reward was rest, not immediate immersion in a new mission.As for subsequent arrangements—after all, Qin Tian was now a Major General and held the imperial glory medal. The Seventh Bureau could not make the decision; they needed to quickly consult the capital and see what Marshal Lin’s opinion was.“Yes!”Qin Tian saluted.After ending the video communication, a smile appeared on Qin Tian’s face. A vacation was exactly what he wanted; he had many things to deal with next.First was the sales arrangement for the Youth Potion. He had promised Oriental Feather a share in this business and naturally couldn't go back on his word.Secondly, during his absence, a large batch of Barbarian slaves had been sent to Silver Gray Star, waiting for him to train them.Finally, he needed to find a thunder-attribute treasure to help balance the dark and lightning psionic energy within his body, thereby breaking through to the sixth stage.With a vacation, he could set about doing these things.The news of Qin Tian’s promotion to Major General and his acquisition of the imperial glory medal quickly spread throughout the base. When he walked on the road, many people would cast curious glances at him, wanting to see what this rising star of the military looked like.And Qin Tian’s age and appearance surprised many.This newly promoted Major General was not only excessively young but also possessed a face comparable to a male celebrity, stern yet rugged.However, just as the outside world prepared to delve into Qin Tian’s background, they were surprised to find that the only information available about Qin Tian was from the past two years; his previous resume was completely blank.How could a person just pop out of a rock? Clearly, Qin Tian’s information had been hidden.Yet, so many people, including scions of Golden Bloodline families, could not find Qin Tian’s background or origins, making the power behind this even more awe-inspiring.A week passed in a blink of an eye. The concluding work of the Demon Suppression Abyss campaign was gradually completed, and the casualty lists of the various Battle Groups were finally confirmed. Compensation funds were distributed to the families through military channels.Heroes who had earned merit stood on the commendation platform, receiving their due honors; ordinary soldiers also received military merit points commensurate with their achievements.The temporarily formed Battle Groups had been assembled specifically for the Demon Suppression Abyss campaign, and now that the mission was over, it was time to part ways.By the warships in the starport, the soldiers of the Crimson Gold Battle Group, carrying their packs, frequently looked back and waved at Qin Tian and his group, their voices full of reluctance:“Commander! Battalion Commander! Brothers, we’ll meet again!”Qin Tian stood by the starship ramp, raising his hand and waving vigorously. With this farewell, everyone would head to different planets, likely making it difficult to meet again. But the days of fighting demons side-by-side and defending the front lines in the Demon Suppression Abyss would surely be etched like a brand in everyone’s memory, forever vivid.“Goodbye, brothers!”
