Chapter 221: 221 Rush Over (Extra 4/5 chapters for the Alliance Hierarch for the rest of his life) Chapter 221: 221 Rush Over (Extra 4/5 chapters for the Alliance Hierarch for the rest of his life) Chen Xu’s prolonged silence brought forth Taichu’s inquiry, “You don’t seem very happy.”

“It’s not that I’m unhappy,” he sighed softly, “it’s just that I feel it’s a bit sad that humanity has fallen to this level.”

Taichu seemed to really enjoy discussing such topics, “I don’t understand why you feel this way. Isn’t the continuation of the race the utmost priority? Naturally, we must choose the most efficient method.”

Chen Xu had to admit that it was right. Facing life and death, such considerations were superfluous.

After all, subconsciously, he simply treated this as a game. Unable to truly immerse himself in his current role, he couldn’t stand in the present position to think about the issues.

He might be the last human in this world. From a pragmatic standpoint, Taichu’s method was the most efficient. In just one year, they could have over a thousand adults capable of performing ordinary work. Regardless of whether they were hastened into maturity, they were all members of humanity.

Once there were several batches of such humans, and there was a base number to work with, they could afford to slow down and nurture true elites. Perhaps in less than ten years, humanity as a group would regain its vitality.

If they were to grow at the normal human rate, ten years would only be enough to bring them through childhood and adolescence. That would be too slow. It might take several hundred years to reproduce to a certain number.

At this thought, Chen Xu suddenly realized why his previous career had always been lackluster. His concerns were too many, his pride too great, unwilling to employ many methods, which greatly restricted his way of doing things.

People like Liu Kun could afford to put on airs and let go of their pride, keeping their word when necessary and flipping the script without hesitation, with no concerns, revealing a very flexible approach to tasks.

Several minutes later, Taichu asked him, “What are you thinking about?”

He said, “I’m thinking about how to make money faster.”

Taichu remarked, “Human thought sometimes really leaps abruptly, without any trace of logic.”

Chen Xu stood up, grabbed a packet of nutritional meal from the fridge, and without checking the flavor, twisted it open and took a bite. His expression seized up–it was durian flavored.

Holding his nose, he finished the packet of nutritional meal and, to his surprise, found it quite delicious, not entirely unacceptable.

Indeed, it smelled foul but tasted good.

Some things, without giving them a try, you never really know what they feel like.

He picked up a glass, poured himself another cup of water, and after drinking it, he sat for a while, gradually regaining some strength, then said, “Could you send me the knowledge I need?”

“It’s already been uploaded to your personal account.”

Chen Xu tapped a spot on the wall, and a screen appeared. He opened his personal account and the bookshelf within it, where there was a book, “Basics of Wireless Communication Equipment Maintenance.”

This was the direction he had chosen to study, containing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Useful both in dreams and in reality.

An hour of study time was only enough to learn a small part of it. As long as he could master this knowledge, he could greatly increase the speed of his earnings.

However, Taichu warned him that the most important part of learning maintenance was hands-on practice, which required a lot of exercises. He had to consider this carefully.

On this matter, he didn’t elaborate further. To him, as long as it required manual skills, learning would not take too much effort.

He flipped open the book and began to review.

…

Three days later, Chen Xu passed the system’s examination and acquired the title of Level 1 Communication Engineer. He was eligible to move to a residence in C1 Zone.

C1 Zone was vastly different from C2 Zone. The rooms were twice as big and even included a private bathroom. Even the dietary standards had improved, transitioning from pouches to bottled high-grade nutritional meals.

The choices of work available to him had also changed, from a maximum hourly wage of one hundred fifty credit points to three hundred credit points–a two-fold increase. His maximum daily income now reached five thousand four hundred credit points.

The actual content of the work remained unchanged–still clearing the drains.

The same task, merely because his level had increased, resulted in double the salary. There was no reason for it, Taichu explained, it was simply the rule.

This time, Chen Xu worked continuously for eight days, accumulating forty thousand credit points before heading to the learning base to use the learning machine again.

Taichu told him that using the learning machine caused minor damage to the brain, and a certain amount of time must elapse between uses. Ten days after the first use, and twenty days after the third use. These were mandatory regulations.

The more frequently it was used, the longer the intervals had to be, else it could cause irreversible damage to the brain.

After eleven days, he lay down in the learning machine again to absorb knowledge for a second time. This session lasted four hours, enough to memorize the entire content of “Basics of Wireless Communication Equipment Maintenance.”

By then, all he needed was to accumulate enough successful cases of maintenance practice, and he could go for the Level 1 Communication Engineer exam. Once he passed, he would be promoted to B-level, possessing higher authority.

…

Just as Chen Xu strived for the goal of becoming a Level 1 Communication Engineer, Yang Jinxia led her robot army to meet the onrushing beast tide head-on.

She sat in the air, watching the screen. From the aerial view of the plane, she could see dense swaths of beasts rushing over like a flood.

Her motorcade, compared to the massive tide of beasts, looked as tiny as a trickle.

“Abandon vehicles, troops assemble.”

Her expression was stern as commands spilled from her lips, “Aircraft, bombard to clear a path.”

“Assaulters form the arrowhead. Hunters follow closely behind, S-class robots guard around me, charge.”

At her command, the robots in the fleet swiftly mobilized, forming a formation that rushed toward the beast tide.

As the two sides were about to clash, the planes in the sky began the bombardment. They used not high-explosive ordnance but large grenades filled with steel balls, aiming for maximum casualties. With each explosion, a swath of beasts fell.

From the aerial view, the number of beasts about to make contact with the robots dwindled visibly to the naked eye.

Then, it was like a collision of Mars with Earth in its ferocity.

Yang Jinxia’s small stream, in a very short time, swam upstream against the tide, becoming completely engulfed by the beast tide, countless beasts pounced, nearly submerging her army.

Her gaze remained level, occasionally ordering the S-class robots guarding her to step forward and fill the gaps. As for the engineering robots held back by the beasts and unable to keep up with the main force, she didn’t care at all.

On the screen before her, the number of robots displayed. In just a dozen minutes, the number plummeted from six figures to five, ninety thousand, eighty thousand, seventy thousand…

Even as the count fell to ten thousand, there was still no change in her gaze.

When the S-class robots around her were almost entirely depleted, the pressure in front suddenly eased, and the scene before her eyes opened up immensely.

They had broken through!

She looked into the distance, where there was something like a black vortex.

She pointed in that direction and said, “Charge through.”

The few thousand remaining robots sprinted rapidly toward that direction.

Behind them, the still dense beast tide turned around and followed. But flesh and blood couldn’t run faster than robots powered by super batteries; they were left further and further behind.

Several particularly large beasts let out frantic roars.

Ten minutes later, Yang Jinxia’s robot army had reached the black vortex. They saw beasts struggling to burst out of the vortex, each shot dead by the robots.

She finally ordered her subordinates to stop and tapped a name, “S12, get in.”

A robot responded and rushed into the vortex, towing a steel cable.

On the screen in front of her, the count of robots immediately decreased by one.

She commanded, “Pull it out.”

Another robot reeled in the steel cable, soon dragging S12 out. It lay on the ground, its indicator lights extinguished.

Yang Jinxia said, “Reboot.”

After a while, the lights in S12’s eyes lit up.

A faint smile appeared on her face. Opportunities were always reserved for those who are prepared. After using the electromagnetic pulse gun to take down S01, she had considered this vulnerability of the robots and added an overload protection device. Now, it seemed to work well.

Their delay allowed the beast tide to catch up.

“Let’s go, get in.” She led all of her robots into the vortex and quickly disappeared.

PS: I still remember about the additional chapter, don’t worry. Lastly, please vote for the novel at the end of the month.
