It is precisely because of these special circumstances that the security in White Arrow Harbor is very chaotic, with many unidentified people frequently appearing here.

On the west side of the port sits the White Arrow Harbor Training Camp.

Compared to township-level training camps, the White Arrow Harbor Training Camp is undoubtedly much stronger, in all aspects nearly catching up to an average city-level training camp.

At noon, in the reception hall of the training camp, Instructor Kelly had been busy all morning and was already starving, but he had to review the file of a newly arrived cadet before he could go to the cafeteria to enjoy today’s delicious signature dish—White Arrow Fish Egg Soup.

“Nanluo Academy, Charles Lynn, specialty is mechanical maintenance, huh…”

After glancing at the resume, Instructor Kelly looked up and scrutinized the young man in front of him.

He was a rather handsome young man, with naturally squinting eyes that always seemed to carry a smile, making it easy for people to feel close to him.

“Yes, Instructor Kelly.” The young man looked a bit nervous, with the awkwardness of someone just out of the academy, and the excitement of a fledgling bird leaving the nest.

Kelly narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming sharp. The air around them instantly grew tense, exuding the oppressive aura of a ninth-level Mind Source Power user.

“Instructor Kelly, is there a problem with my resume?” the young man asked again, seeming to grow anxious.

Kelly’s face remained expressionless, maintaining the authority befitting an instructor. He pressed the hexagonal bracelet on his left wrist, a faint light flickered, and he pulled up Charles Lynn’s information to cross-check with the resume—there were no discrepancies.

“You’re quite lucky. You broke through to the third level of Mind Source Power upon graduation, just barely meeting the standard for the White Arrow Harbor Training Camp,” Kelly said.

“Yes, Instructor Kelly, I feel very fortunate as well.”

Charles Lynn replied with a smile, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. He truly felt lucky.

Although the Alliance Mind Source Network in this world is similar to Earth’s internet in some ways—and far surpasses it in many others—there are also many aspects where it falls far short.

For example, in terms of information monitoring, this is an issue of information processing. The root cause is that the virtual network in this world is built upon an immense Mind Source Power system, fundamentally different from the intelligent networks on Earth.

Therefore, after Charles Lynn’s [Mind Source Compatibility Disorder] was cured, his resume no longer contained any previous records.

Of course, this could also be seen as a form of protection for the weak, and Charles Lynn was truly grateful for such a humane policy.

Instructor Kelly frowned slightly. With over twenty years of experience, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something unusual about this young man, though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

“Maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me…”

Muttering to himself, Instructor Kelly approved the young man’s file and nodded, “Welcome, young man. Go over there and put on the training camp gear—you’re now a member of the White Arrow Harbor Training Camp.”

He pointed to a corner of the reception hall, where several boxes were stacked, containing the standard equipment for cadets.

“Understood, Instructor Kelly.” Charles Lynn saluted and walked over.

Watching the young man’s excited and eager demeanor, Instructor Kelly shook his head inwardly. It seemed his eyes really were playing tricks on him—this was clearly just a rookie fresh out of the academy, and a backgroundless civilian at that.

Charles Lynn opened a box. Inside were two sets of reserve security uniforms, a standard-issue pistol, a hexagonal bracelet, an imperial standard military knife, and a half-body protective soft armor.

He quickly put on the soft armor and uniform, holstered the pistol, sheathed the knife, and then picked up the hexagonal bracelet. Charles Lynn couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat quicken.

Click!

He put on the bracelet and injected a stream of Mind Source Power. The bracelet immediately began to vibrate, the band tightened suddenly, the hexagonal face flickered for a moment, then stopped vibrating, completing the pairing with its owner.

“At last… I finally have an Alliance Mind Source Network connector…” Charles Lynn muttered to himself.

Connectors for the Mind Source Network are strictly regulated by all major nations. Only by joining a training camp can one obtain one. This was also the reason Charles Lynn came to the training camp.

Not far away, Instructor Kelly suddenly looked up and glanced at Charles Lynn in the corner of the hall. The moment the young man put on the hexagonal bracelet, it seemed as if there was a startling change in him.

But when he looked again, the young man was already walking over, appearing no different from before.

“Looks like I really am just seeing things from hunger…”

Instructor Kelly muttered to himself, glanced at Charles Lynn, and nodded, “Lunch time is almost over. Let’s go to the cafeteria together. If you go alone, you probably won’t even get a sip of soup.”

“Thank you for looking out for me, Instructor.”

Charles Lynn saluted and expressed his gratitude.

He realized he was quite lucky. This instructor looked strict, but was actually quite a good person.

Chapter 07: The Challenger from the Past

When they arrived at the cafeteria, there were only a few cadets scattered about. Just as Instructor Kelly had said, there really wasn’t even a sip of soup left.

However, the cafeteria had reserved meals for the instructors, so Charles Lynn also had the chance to taste White Arrow Harbor’s specialty—White Arrow Fish Egg Soup.

It was a milky-white soup, with pieces of White Arrow Fish bone scattered inside, looking like sharp arrowheads, making Charles Lynn hesitate to take a bite.
