Chapter 107 Withdrawal Technique
"Battle merits?"
"There are detailed instructions in your backpack. If you don't understand anything, go find Old Bai, who is in charge of the kids in the camp. He is usually on the combat barge numbered eight, which is the only unit in our camp that does not go out to fight."
As for the combat barge you are on, it will not be deployed for combat in most cases, unless the battalion commander receives a major mission that requires the entire battalion to be mobilized for annihilation operations or escort missions.
Today and tomorrow, you are free to move around as you please. Explore the various functional buildings in the Tiger's Den as described in the guidebook, or observe the Mission Hall. In short, do as you please. Starting the morning after tomorrow, you will begin your service.
Kid.
The term went through Fu Que's mind. He now knew what "baby" meant. If the Tiger Riders called their new recruits "tiger cubs," what would the Dragon Riders call their new recruits?
After informing Fu Que of all matters, Nan Zongqi left without any hesitation, even though he had gone to great lengths to acquire this new talent.
The cabin wasn't large, but it was fully equipped with seats and beds, and several iron frames were embedded in the walls. The view from the window was excellent, offering a clear view of Qianbo Lake, where the tiger's den was located. Moreover, the double-layered composite material provided excellent privacy.
He picked up the large backpack placed on the iron rack. Inside, there were several items, including two standard folding swords and a leather armor made of an unknown material. Fu Que tried to pull it, and the leather armor had a lot of elasticity, obviously designed to fit different wearers.
He had three sets of military uniforms of the same material as the black military uniform he was wearing, which he could change into.
The three printed books are respectively titled "Records of Encounters in the Tiger's Den of Yuntai Prefecture", "Reference for Battle Fee Calculation", and "Tiger Cavalry Battle Notes".
Apart from that, the backpack contained nothing else.
The contents of the black briefcase were even simpler: four standard healing potions, two general antidotes, a tactical neck brace, and a black-gray identification card made of alloy with tiger claw patterns.
Fu Que glanced through the two books and understood why the square-faced Nan Zongqi had given him two days of free time. It was to familiarize him with the various functional buildings in the Tiger's Den and to make him remember his battle orders and inviolable discipline.
He gently closed the window, sat cross-legged on the bed, and after sorting out his thoughts, Fu Que closed his eyes and naturally immersed himself in the painting in his mind.
In his mind's eye, a fluttering scroll danced in the wind, and the swordsman depicted in the painting, who was holding a knife and straddling a sword, had already gained some spirit and was no longer just a few simple strokes as before.
The sketch-like knife technique attached to it also vaguely reveals the figure of a man in prison clothes with a ferocious face. His constantly changing and graceful movements demonstrate the 3324 knife technique.
The temporary wind elemental power was no longer as clear as it had been at the beginning; the cyan vortex had become slightly dim and blurry, clearly due to Fu Que's frequent use of it.
Fu Que not only used temporary wind elemental power when fighting enemies, but also practiced it a lot in his private rest time in order to hone his focus and master extraordinary elemental power more skillfully.
After all, it was just a temporary extraordinary power that combined the remnant soul of the sketch with a consumable magic weapon using the Sinful Cloud Ink. The fact that Fu Que had used it so many times was already a testament to the painter's incredible skill.
Even if a master craftsman of the Great Zhao Dynasty were to consume the full amount of national fortune and employ a royal-level craftsman, it would still be impossible to surpass the work of a painter of different styles.

Even before the decisive battle in Gaoyang County, Fu Que had already increased the scroll restoration rate of the Scroll Swordsman to 100%, resulting in a qualitative change in his enhanced state and a significant increase in his strength.
However, Fu Que could clearly sense that even if he consumed more Sinful Ink to enhance the scroll's revival, it would not improve his buff status in any way. Without upgrading, the scroll swordsman's buff status had reached its limit.
Fu Que roughly estimated his current strength, which was basically equivalent to a martial artist at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
……
"Hello, I am a new recruit from the Tiger Claw Company, 10th Company of the Tiger Battalion. This is my identification."
Fu Que handed a black and gray card to a female receptionist wearing a boat-shaped hat on the table. The card had the unique markings of each Tiger Cavalry company.
This is the identification card that Fu Que obtained from the black briefcase. He learned about the authentication and use of this identification card from the book "Warlord Accounting Reference".
It has a very supernatural world style, where you can just drip blood directly. An unknown force will collect Fu Que's data and then upload it to some unknown place for storage and aggregation.
In the future, all the battle merits Fu Que earns while carrying out missions, the records of withdrawing war supplies, exchanging for valuable items in the Imperial Guard's armory, and even the salary aura of national fortune will be recorded in this small card.
However, based on the authentication of his previous life's ID card, Fu Que had a vague intuition that the function of this card was far more than that. It seemed to be the predecessor of some kind of ultra-wide-area resolution marking system, or rather, an experiment.
However, Fu Que had already made up his mind to stay in the Dragon Tiger Guard and keep up with the pace of Da Zhao's development, so he didn't have any objection to this kind of card; it was just an alternative form of identification.
This is the Inheritance Technique Exchange and Implantation Center, which belongs to the Tiger Den and is mentioned in "The Record of Encounters in the Tiger Den of Yuntai Prefecture".
The relevant staff members were all trained by the Dragon Tiger Guards from a young age and possess excellent professional skills and loyalty, although some of them, due to their own reasons, only had the aptitude for bone cultivation or even lacked the qualifications of martial artists.
However, the cost of training any one of these people would be no less than that of a ragtag Blood Pass warrior.
The Yuntai Prefecture Tiger Cavalry has fewer than 8,000 official members, including nearly 1,000 tiger cubs, and the tiger cubs have an annual attrition rate of about 20%.
Of course, being eliminated here doesn't necessarily mean death. It could also mean being reassigned to other units, such as to a county-level unit, to become a backbone of the county soldiers or a low-level rank of the elite guards.
Because they were transferred from other regions and funded directly by the Imperial Treasury, the Dragon Tiger Cavalry was kept extremely clean, avoiding collusion with local authorities to the greatest extent possible, serving as the emperor's most sensitive eyes and ears.
The number of direct logistics and support personnel assigned to these 8,000 Tiger Cavalry is as high as 100,000. This does not include the personnel who provide indirect support in Yuntai Prefecture, but only the auxiliary personnel in the Tiger's Den.
This is why Fu Que saw a floating platform on a lake that resembled a small city.
When necessary, authorized Tiger Cavalry can deploy the entire Tiger Den as a war fortress in combat.
