Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“You’re awake? You’ve been sleeping for six whole days!”
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the living room. Then, a familiar figure appeared in front of Lin Tian, and the city lord of Green City, Jiang Tao, appeared in his bedroom.
After he walked in, he glanced at Lin Tian and Elemental Queen who had just run back to sit in his arms. He nodded at them
Obviously, after he sent Lin Tian home, he had been guarding Lin Tian outside the living room.
“Your mental state is pretty good. It seems that you have almost recovered!”
“The Elemental Queen’s power is too powerful. You are only a bronze-level, so it’s impossible for you to absorb it so quickly. Although she deliberately used the Elemental Nirvana and made a contract with you, it still took her five days.”
The city lord of Green City, Jiang Tao, recalled what had happened that night. It could be said that it had caused quite a big commotion. All the hard ice in the entire ice region had melted. The contract ritual lasted for five days before it ended. In the end, Jiang Tao was the one who sent him back.
The crisis had finally come to an end temporarily.
“I have caused you many troubles!” Lin Tian finally understood at this time. At the same time, he apologized for the trouble he had caused Jiang Tao. Of course, he had also almost fully recovered.
Jiang Tao walked up to Lin Tian and squatted down to take a look at Elemental Queen. Seeing at the strange man, she crawled into Lin Tian’s arms. She was a little scared
“It seems that her memory has been erased!”
Disappointment appeared on Jiang Tao’s face. He had thought that he would be able to get some information from Elemental Queen, but it seemed unlikely. However, he quickly put the thought behind.
He stood up and looked at Lin Tian with a solemn expression.
“Lin Tian, on behalf of the Green Mountain Base and the city lord of Green City, I hope that you will lead Elemental Queen back to her peak state and help the human camp!”
“And you must always remember that this world is still in a dangerous stage for humans. For the past two to three hundred years, the danger has never subsided!”
“What you have experienced recently is the normal scene of this world, and also what humans have been experiencing all along.”
Jiang Tao then looked out of the window. He heard the sound of cars and horns coming from the road as he spoke in a solemn voice.
Lin Tian listened to Jiang Tao’s words and looked Jiang Tao. He looked at Jiang Tao’s imposing back and felt that the burden on their shoulders was very heavy.
When he was still a high school student, Jiang Tao and the others had already shouldered the safety of the entire Green Mountain Base and possibly the entire human race.
“What can I do?” Lin Tian asked.
“Become stronger. As long as Elemental Queen recovers to her peak, you will definitely be an amba.s.sador.”
“If you take another step forward, you will become the king of this era.”
Jiang Tao looked at Lin Tian, his eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation. Jiang Tao’s mood started to fluctuate, and he became excited.
Lin Tian was slightly stunned, but he eventually nodded.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You are still a student. When you graduate from university, it will be the real beginning!” Jiang Tao said in a deep voice, patting Lin Tian’s shoulder, indicating that he shouldn’t put too much pressure on himself. Lin Tian nodded, and at the same time, he told Lin Tian that the college entrance exam was coming soon, and he hoped that Lin Tian would give it his all.
“At that time, I will also be there, and the country will also mobilize many forces to partic.i.p.ate in it. Even the entire human race will pay attention to it.”
When Lin Tian heard this, he was shocked. He didn’t expect that the entire human race would pay attention to the college entrance exam this time. It seemed that the situation this year had much more antic.i.p.ation than the previous years.
…
At night, in Lin Tian’s home.
Lin Tian lay on the sofa. He felt that his tensed mind had been relaxed. After Jiang Tao had finished giving some instructions, he left in the afternoon. When he left, he gave Lin Tian a card.
This card contained nearly a million credits. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of credits that he had earned from completing the mission at the defense line. There were also the hundreds of thousands of additional credits that the Green City authority had given him.
However, in his opinion, the credits were only incidental. After all, he was just a student, so he didn’t need that much money. The most important thing was what Jiang Tao had told him in the afternoon.
That was military merits and extra points for the college entrance examination!
Through their outstanding contribution to Lin Tian’s defense line, the Green City authority decided to reward Lin Tian with 1,000 military merits. At the same time, they also decided to grant him extra points for the college entrance examination.
Putting aside the extra points for the college entrance examination, the military merits alone were enough to tempt Lin Tian. He didn’t expect to receive such an unexpected reward.
This was because military merits could be exchanged for t.i.tles in the army. They could also be used to exchange for resources that the country could provide.
One had to know that a person’s resources were limited. Lin Tian could only hunt in some of the less powerful magical beast areas near the Green Mountain Base. As for obtaining the ores and magical crystals, it was up to his luck.
However, the reward bank of the country was different. It was a collection of resources obtained by using the power of the country. Compared to the power of an individual, it was completely incomparable. It contained the most basic food, credit points, magical crystals, magical beasts, and so on.
In other words, military merits were now the exchange reward currency of a country.
Although other organizations like the mercenary alliance had similar exchange of points and items, they still couldn’t compare to the reserves of the country.
Moreover, according to Jiang Tao, as the city lord of Green City, he could only obtain about 2,000 points in a year.
Lin Tian’s reward was equivalent to half a year’s worth of his earnings. How could he not have tempted by this? However, Lin Tian also knew that the reason why he was able to obtain such a huge reward was mainly due to the contract between Elemental Queen and himself.
The contract between Lin Tian and Elemental Queen was equivalent to solving the most powerful threat in this incident. Otherwise, just by relying on Lin Tian’s performance at the no. 3 defense line, killing two silver-level magical beasts and a large number of bronze-level magical beasts and black-iron-level magical beasts, he might not even be able to obtain 500 military merits.
The evaluation of military merits was quite strict. From the position of the defense line, the strength of the mission accepted by the defense line, the strength of the magical beasts that one killed, and the overall performance of one’s magical beasts were all included in the evaluation.
Moreover, every military merit was evaluated by the overall evaluation. It was not something that could be achieved by simply killing a magical beast and completing a mission.
This was also why even the city lord of Green City, Jiang Tao, as a platinum-level armored envoy, could only obtain 2000 military merits in a year.
Of course, after the approval result was pa.s.sed, the military merits would automatically be transferred to Lin Tian’s ident.i.ty card.
