Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Before September, Su Ping went to pay a visit to Confucius, went back to Aunt Zhang and Xiao Cui's house to have a few meals, and then invited three fellow students to come out and set up a banquet in Xinyue Pavilion.

He had a good chat with Nan Zhangsheng and wrote to Rosalia to tell her that he would not be able to write to her for some time to keep her informed, so as not to worry her.

Then he fulfilled the promise and went to the Hall of Rebirth to play with Little Walnut. Then they made another promise to come again next time.

I also took the time to visit the top of Tianheng Mountain and the General Affairs Department.

When September came, Su Ping set out to register alone with empty hands and no luggage.

Outside the north gate of Liyue Harbor, there were a dozen registration desks already filled with people recording their family backgrounds, ancestral homes and names.

This is the first minimum requirement for successful registration. First of all, the direct bloodline of the grandparents and grandchildren must be within three generations, and there must not be a serious criminal record, otherwise you will not even be able to register.

Su Ping certainly had no problem with this, but because there were so many people, he had to wait from noon to afternoon, and had a lunch prepared by the Qianyan Army in the middle.

This is not special for him, but a treatment that everyone has.

After registering and checking his file to be eligible for military service, Su Ping was called to the back to wait until everyone had gathered and those who failed were dismissed.

The large army officially set out and headed out of the city.

The military camp was not very close, so those who signed up were picked up by war chariots. A chariot could carry fifty people and was pulled by four tall horses, so it moved at a steady speed.

They went northward, passed the foot of Tianheng Mountain, and crossed Guiliyuan, which seemed to be much wider between heaven and earth. The heroic spirit of the vast plains and the lonely smoke in the desert arose in the hearts of the men.

At the northernmost part of Guiliyuan, near the big river, tens of thousands of tents stand, like countless soldiers rising from the ground, standing tall for many years.

There are fifty people in a chariot, and having ten of them would make it look majestic and domineering. But when these one hundred chariots drove to the camp not far away, they were like a dwarf meeting a giant, like a little dragon crossing the river encountering a huge dragon, and dared not even breathe.

The four thousand people who had just registered in the hundred chariots were all shocked by the vastness of the place. A small number of them also developed a stronger yearning and determination to go here.

They passed the outer defense line and successfully entered the camp. All the people on the hundred chariots got off, and then according to the instructions of the Qianyan Army, the four thousand people were divided into two waves and went to two places.

Su Ping first went to the temporary sheds. There were hundreds of chairs in each shed, as well as pens, ink and paper. It was obvious that this was a literary examination.

Then everyone walked into a shed at random, wrote down their names on a piece of paper, and took the exam inside the shed. I heard that this was an assessment that was only added in recent years.

As the lives of Liyue residents are improving day by day, the rule that anyone with good health could join the Thousand Winds Army has also changed. At least one has to be able to write, and now an assessment is required.

This is also a necessary change. Otherwise, in this era, if one becomes illiterate and has no self-cultivation in the Qianyan Army, wouldn't he be laughed at by other countries as a money-making country and a tiger-wolf army that only knows how to fight?

There were not many questions on the paper, only five, written on a piece of paper. You could see them clearly at a glance, but there were very few people who could answer them instantly.

As in the first question, when was the Qianyan Army established?

Perhaps many people can only answer that it evolved from the Qianyan Group, but they don’t know the specific year, or the events that happened before and after.

But Su Ping knew very well that when he was seven years old, he wrote the poem Qianyan Fu, and he had read all the records of the Qianyan Army thoroughly. So it was easy to ask him when it was established.

However, he not only answered the year, but also the origin of the Qianyan Group and the relationship between the two. He answered all of them truthfully, just enough to fill in the blank.

This is because, since there are only five questions, the only way to determine the high or low scores is to determine whether the answers are detailed or vague.

Su Ping also adheres to the idea that when answering questions, he should write more. As long as the answer is not too off-topic, no points will be deducted even if no points are given. This is to be prepared for any eventuality.

The second and third questions were about the Qianyan Army's views on internal and external affairs. They were closer to personal opinions. Su Ping answered them one by one according to his understanding over the years.

"Everyone admires him for his ability to protect the people."

"Protect the territory and safeguard the national glory."

The fourth question is also the simplest one: the current military title of Qianyan Army.

"A thousand rocks are strong, heavy barriers are immovable, a strong fortress of armor is in place, demons and evil spirits are pacified!"

Question 5: If you were a member of the Qianyan Army, what would you do?

Many answers flashed through Su Ping's mind about this question, such as defending the country, stabilizing the world, and making great achievements.

Many, many ideas existed in his mind, and he extracted the essence of them one by one, and then integrated them into four sentences.

"Eliminate the evil in the world, eradicate the lawlessness in the world, establish the fate of the people, and bring order to the world!"

Su Ping stopped writing and handed in the paper. Then, under the guidance of a Qianyan Army soldier, he went to the rest area outside to wait for the next test.

The rest area was also a shed with dozens of people already inside. Su Ping randomly picked a seat and sat down, waiting for the next exam to begin.

Until the number of people in the rest area doubled and doubled again, the original silence was gone, and everyone started discussing the answers and either laughing or expressing regret, the next test finally arrived.

The two thousand people who had completed the written test were brought to a martial arts arena with five arenas. Surrounding them were weapon racks with sharp blades and real swords and guns, which were densely packed and stacked in layers, countless in number.

There are two thousand people under the ring. Although they are not regular trained soldiers, their momentum looks impressive. After all, no matter how many there are, they are there and difficult to shake.

On the stage in the center, there was a strong man standing with his arms folded across his chest. His eyes swept over the two thousand people below the stage with a resolute and majestic air. He paused for a moment, then spoke softly. His deep voice reached everyone's ears like thunder.

"We are now having a martial arts competition. Ten people will enter each ring at a time. Only the last person standing on the stage can advance to the next round of competition.

“For those who failed in the first round, don’t be discouraged. Continue to compete in the loser group. From one hundred to fifty, another five hundred will be selected. Then the ranking will be determined. Those in the loser group can take a rest first and continue to fight after seeing the people who beat you.

Look at these five hundred winners, and the top ten will be eliminated to the final fifty for the final ranking. The top fifty will receive rewards, and the rewards for the top ten will be even more generous. And the champion of the competition, that is, the person who beats all of you, will receive the most generous reward!

As for what the reward is, wait till you are done. The commander will come out and tell you in person. Now, the competition begins!"

The sturdy man, who originally wanted to say a few words of literary speech, left immediately after he finished speaking, ran to the outside of the ring, sat on a seat set up under a tent, and looked back at the ring, where the fight had already begun.

Su Ping picked up a spear from the weapon rack, but the soldier next to him immediately pressed down the spear head, removed the spear head, and replaced it with a round bag.

"For safety reasons, all weapons will be treated like this." After the soldier explained, he turned around and replaced a blunt sword with another one next to him.

Su Ping looked at the Baotou spear calmly, picked it up and went to the arena that was not yet full of people. Then the Qianyan Army came to register their names.

After everyone's name was registered, the competition in this arena officially began.

There was no doubt that Su Ping had won, and then he stepped down and waited for the next round of competition.

Since Su Ping's treatment ended too quickly, the doctors couldn't help smacking their lips when they rushed onto the stage to check on the injuries of the others. Perhaps they would be busy in the future.

The competition is still going on. After the winners' group finishes their game, it's the losers' group's turn. After they finish their game, it's the winners' group's turn again.

Su Ping took up his gun and went on the field again. This time, at the beginning, the other nine people learned their lesson and surrounded him first, and then decided the winner.

However, Su Ping, who had experienced life-and-death battles in the past and had been trained until today, was not so easy to deal with.

With the spear in his hand, he picked and flicked two people off the stage. Then he took light and nimble steps, took the initiative to attack, defeated the enemies he met, without dodging, and won directly, making it into the top 50.

This fierce, swift and direct fighting style also made him shine. Everyone present was talking about the name Su Ping.

Some people also knew about his past, saying that he was a student of Confucius, and knew how to write and publish poems at the age of seven. Now that he is a young man with extraordinary skills, he was convinced of his defeat.

When it came to the competition of fifty to five, the rules were a bit complicated. After the sturdy man explained it again, everyone finally understood.

Anyway, there are five competitions, which are carried out simultaneously. The one who is knocked down first will be ranked lower, and the ranking will be determined step by step until the top 50.

But it is far from over, because there are still another two thousand people. However, in order to save unnecessary waste of time, the top 25 people from both sides are arranged to compete against each other.

The first plays against the first, the second plays against the second, and the loser will be ranked one place back. This rule is somewhat a matter of luck and relies on early management.

Because if you get first place now, even if you lose in the end, you will still be second. Even if the third and fourth places are stronger than the second, there is nothing you can do.

The reason for establishing this rule may be for these men who are about to become real soldiers. The battlefield is ever-changing, and they need to seize all opportunities and details to become the final winners.

Su Ping was of course happy to hear this bold rule. He did not believe that his marksmanship would be inferior to others. Although there are always people who are better than you, sometimes excessive modesty can make people lose their fighting spirit.

If you lose your fighting spirit, you cannot join the army and will only live a mediocre life. Su Ping is cautious, but he does not think that he is incapable of everything, otherwise, what business would he have done before?

If he really had that depressing idea in his heart, he would have been eaten to the bone long ago.
