My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

The strength of Xie Yi, the Gunner Master, still somewhat exceeded Mu Yuan's expectations.

Just as there is a vast difference between the Skeleton Lord Dead Bone and 'Bone Two', so too can there be an abyss-like gap between one Gunner Master and another.

Those with Gunpowder are just Greenhands, at best probably still apprentices.

Xie Yi, however, far exceeded the rank of a mere senior craftsman.

"Master-level skills, along with several at the expert and mastery levels."

"Master Li Erniu, the strongest in Tianyuan City, has a forging skill that's only at the expert level. Isloa possesses various crafts, mostly at the mastery and expert levels."

Of course, both Li Erniu and Isloa are very young.

Isloa lived another life, but in her past life, she was no more than a young girl in her twenties.

Master Xie Yi had eyes filled with the weight of years, and a dense stubble, clearly a middle-aged man no longer young.

"Even so, having master-level skills is still beyond expectations."

"Any skill reaching the master level is one in a million. Even if someone has abundant resources and ample time, they cannot step into the master's domain without sufficient talent. A lifetime's efforts might not suffice."

"Yet Xie Yi, who comes from humble beginnings and has never enjoyed substantial resources, still stepped into the realm of the masters."

Mu Yuan could only say that if Xie Yi's master skills were known to the outside world, then the Lords attracted to him would far exceed the likes of Duke Gold and the Sand Lord.

Even the most top-tier Lords might take the field.

Master-level skills paired with the Gunner Master Profession, is just too perfect.

"Not only that, Xie Yi's master-level skill isn't firearms modification, but mechanical modification."

"Both are masters, but the former can modify far more than the latter."

The skills Xie Yi displayed on Iron Stone Mountain were still somewhat reserved.

"No wonder Xie Yi managed to confront the Sand Elemental Lord."

"Indeed, he's no match for the Sand Elemental Lord, but against another non-Epic Rank at the Peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm, he might just have a fighting chance."

Mu Yuan scrolled through Xie Yi's panel.

The number of data points on Xie Yi's panel was second only to Isloa's.

Xie Yi's equipment section listed a whole thirty types of mechanical weapons. Well, it's understandable for a Gunner Master.

Mu Yuan noticed, Xie Yi had three talents.

'Firearms Mastery, Explosive Force, Mechanical Activation'

The first talent, naturally possessed by high-order firearms professions.

The second talent is rarer, allowing anything he touches to turn into an extremely volatile explosive.

Meaning, Xie Yi doesn't need to create any ammunition; even a pebble he throws is imbued with extreme explosive energy.

And the third talent...

'Mechanical Activation'

'Introduction: Xie Yi modifies his machinery to be connected to his own bloodline.'

'Explanation: Xie Yi can remotely control his mechanical creations, which also possess certain intelligence and can slowly heal after damage. (Damage must not exceed the limit)'

'Note: This talent only works on Xie Yi's own creations.'

Mu Yuan, stroking his chin, "This talent... seems to have potential, could it be upgradable?"

...

The covenant was formed, witnessed by heaven and earth.

Seeing this cruel scene, the other Lords could only helplessly depart.

They couldn't help but speculate, had they been a bit harsher, paid a little more price, would they potentially have been able to recruit Master Xie Yi before this upstart Lord arrived?

What's done is done, and sighs are of no use now, but still the Lords couldn't help wondering: just what benefits did this upstart Lord promise to recruit Master Xie Yi so quickly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

One can only feel envy and jealousy!

A day later, under the transportation of Tianyuan City's transport team—the Duo Lai—Xie Yi's possessions from Iron Stone Mountain were quickly moved to Tianyuan City.

"Boss, from now on I'm at your command. By the way, I forgot to ask yesterday when signing the contract, you have enough booze and tobacco, right?"

"Of course, later I'll have Isloa send you a batch of supplies."

With a new employee onboard, Mu Yuan didn't arrange too much work for Xie Yi, giving him time to get familiar and integrate into the territory. Explore hidden tales at empire

For now, Xie Yi continues with his old profession.

That is, modifying firearms and instructing Greenhand gunners.

The difference now is that the number of people Xie Yi is teaching has increased from a few with Gunpowder to an entire company.

"Good lord, where did Tianyuan City get so many high-order gunners?"

Xie Yi was actually of the military type himself.

Where he was born, when he was born, he has no memory of those details.

When his consciousness became clear, he was already wandering the wastelands.

He wandered for countless years.

He encountered many dangers and also stumbled upon rare opportunities that come once in a hundred years.

Looking at the many novice gunners with bewildered expressions in front of him, memories came flooding back like a spring.

Was he once like them?

He was merely not so lucky, without a haven for shelter, without anyone to guide his way forward.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of mission.

He wanted to make firearms great again.

Tianyuan Calendar, Day 435.

Mu Yuan prepared to submit an application for a position through the distant Tianyuan Territory liaison office located in Pan Shi City, towards the Pioneer Group.

The Tai Xuan Covenant stipulates that Lords located within the Alliance's territory need to head to the Alliance's periphery to provide support during the Red Fog Disaster Moon, and territories that meet certain standards also need to dispatch personnel to the Pioneer Group or to the Tai Xuan Liangyi, Professional Association to take up positions.
