I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 6 - Cat's Agility Evolution Points



As night fell, the lights in the military camp began to illuminate one by one, like scattered stars, brightening the surroundings.
A small transport vehicle drove out from inside, stopping at the military camp's entrance. Four fully armed special forces members jumped out and quickly disappeared into the vast night.
"Qin Tian, our mission this time is to eliminate the Shadow Cat Squad roaming near the camp."
Qin Dadi introduced quickly while running:
"The Shadow Cat race is a Low-level Clan of the Orc Empire, with agile bodies and sharp claws, especially skilled in fighting in the dark."
"Once the battle begins, you need to quickly create distance, find a safe position, observe the situation first, and don't shoot rashly."
Although Qin Tian passed the Spirit Bird assessment and achieved a very high score, he had never participated in actual combat, so Qin Dadi was not entirely confident in his shooting ability.
"Okay."
Qin Tian calmly held his Owl Dragon Rifle with one hand.
He could hear the distrust in Qin Dadi's words, but it was understandable.
Next, he would prove himself with strength, and incidentally—
Touch the corpse of a cat girl~
"Haha, Qin Tian, don't worry. We're already familiar with dealing with Shadow Cats."
Xiao Yunlong, holding a black-patterned combat blade, said in a relaxed tone: "Just watch our performance later. We'll show you the power of Spiritual Energy Users and Espers."
Spiritual Energy Users, Espers~
A hint of anticipation appeared in Qin Tian's eyes.
The Earth Dragon Squad ran for a long time. During this period, Qin Dadi kept watching the combat radar on his wristband. Several red dots moved continuously on the radar, and they were getting closer and closer to the red dots.
Qin Dadi turned to look at Qin Tian. He had been worried that Qin Tian wouldn't be able to keep up with the squad, would run out of stamina, and would struggle in subsequent combat.
However, Qin Tian's face wasn't red, and he wasn't out of breath, completely on par with them, which was very surprising.
Could it be that this batch of clones all used enhanced templates?
But this wasn't a good thing for Qin Tian~
"One more kilometer. Get ready."
Qin Dadi raised his hand into a fist, slowed his pace, and said softly: "Qin Tian, find a good position for yourself and be careful."
"Okay."
Qin Tian nodded in response.
Tens of seconds later, several dark silhouettes appeared in the distance.
Qin Tian focused his gaze. His good eyesight, combined with the multi-functional helmet's assistance, allowed him to clearly see the true appearance of those dark silhouettes.
The Shadow Cat race.
Completely different from the imagined image of a cat girl.

Shadow Cats were tall, similar to adult males, covered in a layer of ink-black fur. Their heads were feline-shaped but disproportionately large, with a pair of tall, pointed ears. Their faces were sunken, and their eyes were like deep pools burning with eerie green ghost fire, with long, narrow pupils constantly flickering with strange light.
Qin Tian felt a chill run down his spine, seeing such an eerie creature for the first time.
"There are four Shadow Cats in total. You two need to be careful."
Qin Dadi whispered, running in front of Xiao Yunlong and Liu Zhaozhao. Under Qin Tian's surprised gaze, his body began to ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ change.
Click, click, click.
Dark brown rock layers emerged on his body. In a blink of an eye, Qin Dadi transformed into a rock man over two meters tall, completely covered in rock, with only his eyes exposed.
Thump, thump, thump~~
The running rock man was like a battle tank, rumbling and unstoppable.
Seeing this, the Shadow Cats on the opposite side shrieked and scattered in all directions.
"Trying to run?"
Xiao Yunlong sneered, a flash of green light appearing beneath his feet. His speed suddenly increased, becoming even more agile than the Shadow Cats. His combat blade whistled as it swung down towards a Shadow Cat's head.
"Meow!!!"
The Shadow Cat's fur bristled, standing up like steel needles. However, its reaction was not slow. It lowered its body, letting the combat blade graze its scalp, and its sharp claws stabbed towards Xiao Yunlong's throat.
Xiao Yunlong remained calm, tilting his head to the side to dodge the vital spot. Then, he performed a lightning-fast low sweep, kicking the Shadow Cat's knee.
Crack~
The sound of bones shattering was exceptionally clear.
The Shadow Cat screamed in pain. The next instant, the combat blade swept across its neck, severing its entire head.
"One down!" Xiao Yunlong shouted.
On the other side, three Shadow Cats bypassed the cumbersome Qin Dadi. They pushed off with their hind legs, like three enormous black bats, and lunged towards Liu Zhaozhao.
Liu Zhaozhao stood still, her beautiful eyes filled with calm.
These Low-level Shadow Cats neither possessed spiritual energy nor awakened talents. In front of her, they were merely oversized wild cats, easily killable with a raised hand.
Whoosh~~
Just as the Shadow Cats were less than two meters from Liu Zhaozhao, three pillars of flame suddenly rose from the ground. The raging fire burned, turning the Shadow Cats into fire people.
"Ah, ah, ah~"
The Shadow Cats rolled on the ground, their sharp, piercing screams particularly grating on the plains.
Bang~
A sudden gunshot.
One of the Shadow Cats' bodies shook, a bowl-sized bloodied hole clearly visible in its chest.
Bang~
Another gunshot.
The second Shadow Cat was directly headshotted.
A few seconds later, the gunfire ceased. The last Shadow Cat was burned alive by the flames, turning into a charred corpse.
Liu Zhaozhao looked back. A blurred figure emerged from the darkness, walking towards them with steady steps. Each step carried an indescribable sense of composure and power.
"Heh, quite stylish."
Liu Zhaozhao's lips curled slightly.
"Haha, Qin Tian, you truly are a marksman! To be so accurate with the Owl Dragon Rifle on your first try."
Xiao Yunlong walked up to Qin Tian, his face full of smiles, clearly very impressed with Qin Tian's marksmanship.
The Owl Dragon Rifle had a long range and high lethality, but it was also extremely difficult to master. Even ace military snipers needed at least half a month to fully adapt to this rifle.
Yet, Qin Tian, on his first shot, could hit the chest and then headshot with another shot, demonstrating his exceptional shooting talent.
Qin Tian nodded slightly, his gaze flickering as his peripheral vision caught the several Shadow Cat corpses on the ground.
Just now, the Golden Finger had brought him new surprises.
After killing two Shadow Cats, two white light spheres flew towards him. After entering his body, the more concentrated white light sphere remained, while the slightly lighter colored one disappeared directly.
Not only that, but a new information bar appeared in his mind.
【Host】 Qin Tian
【Talents】 Absolute Gun Sense (Green), Advanced Strength (Green), Quick Recovery (Green), Danger Perception (Green), Low-level Blade Sense (White), Cat's Agility (White)
【Evolution Points】 15
...
【Name】 Cat's Agility (White)
【Type】 Passive Talent
【Description】 Those with this talent move as agilely as a cat. Reaction, evasion, and movement speed are significantly increased.
...
From the situation just now, Qin Tian deduced that talent light spheres obtained from killing similar types of enemies could not be stacked; only the stronger one would remain.
However, killing enemies grants Evolution Points, and Evolution Points are definitely used to evolve talents.
"Qin Tian, just now, the three of us displayed our respective abilities. Zhaozhao and I are Second-order Espers, with abilities of Petrification and Fiery Blaze, respectively. Yunlong is a Second-order Spiritual Energy User Warrior, skilled in movement techniques and blade arts."
Qin Dadi walked over, the rock layers on his body completely receding.
Under normal circumstances, when he encountered agile enemies like Shadow Cats, he would only partially petrify himself to maintain flexibility.
However, to more directly demonstrate his ability, he chose to fully petrify himself during the recent battle.
Of course, the battle process was exactly as he had anticipated: he was as clumsy as a stone pillar, unable to even touch a Shadow Cat's fur.
"Welcome to the Earth Dragon Squad."
Qin Dadi extended his hand, his expression solemn and sincere.
Qin Tian's eyelids lifted slightly. He understood that after killing two Shadow Cats, he had officially passed the Earth Dragon Squad's test and become a member of the team.
Clap~
Qin Tian grasped Qin Dadi's hand and said softly:
"Captain."
Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong and Liu Zhaozhao exchanged glances, smiles appearing on their faces.
