79: I still have zombies!
General Liu laughed heartily, still clutching his phone: "Send me your card number. I'll transfer the allocation to your card later. You're not doing this for free."
Tang Gao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Senior Brother, you've already taken care of me so many times for free, isn't it too polite to give me money now?"
General Liu chuckled: "For the minor cultivation slot, and having the university Revered Master personally tutor you, plus Li Yuan being a Cultivator, the allocation I can give you is 200,000 yuan."
Giving Tang Gao 200,000 yuan for this matter was actually a bit on the low side.
But Tang Gao was going to Qingkai, and his Family's financial situation was very ordinary, so General Liu took this opportunity to give his Junior Brother some money, so that his Junior Brother wouldn't be penniless when he went to Qingkai.
Although Revered Master was very wealthy, he had no concept of money in his mind and simply didn't think about giving his disciples living expenses.
With 200,000 yuan, plus Junior Brother Liu's support, if he spent it carefully, even as a Cultivator, he could still have a relatively good university life.
Tang Gao immediately pulled out his phone and respectfully said: "Please scan the code, thank you!"
There was nothing he could do; the money Senior Brother gave was simply too much. He couldn't in good conscience refuse this sum.
General Liu gave a small, teasing laugh, took a photo: "Large transfers require processing. The money will be in your account after you finish your exam.
I still have to be busy. Li Yuan will be here soon."
After speaking, General Liu no longer lingered and once again flew towards the organizer's platform, carried by the wind.
Tang Gao looked at his Senior Brother's graceful appearance, quite envious: "When will I be able to fly? I'm so envious."
Liu Ren also looked very envious: "At the fastest, it would require Late Stage Tier 3 Qi Condensation... otherwise, the Mana won't hold up."
Liu Yi looked up at the receding figure, his eyes full of envy and admiration.
The staff knew Tang Gao didn't like noise, so they smiled and led the way, taking Tang Gao to the lounge area, arranging a large private room for him, and then leaving.
The room was very spacious, with a projector hanging on the wall, currently broadcasting a live stream of the Hero's Glory Showdown. There was also a function to switch spectator views next to it, which was very convenient and user-friendly.
"Knock knock."
The door was not closed. A stern young man stood at the entrance, knocking on the door frame with his hand.
Tang Gao turned his head and, seeing him, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face: "Are you Li Yuan?"
Although he had seen him many times during missions, this was their first meeting in reality.
Li Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly composed himself, his voice tinged with coldness: "Yes."
As soon as he spoke, the temperature in the room subtly dropped by seven or eight degrees, making the already not-so-cold air-conditioned room even colder.
Liu Ren shivered subconsciously: "So cold."
Liu Yi adopted a gentle and generous demeanor, laughing: "Come in. We are your teammates for the upcoming confrontation exam.
This is our captain, Tang Gao. You can call him Brother Tang.
This is my brother, Liu Ren, a Trash with Nine-Stage Battle Qi, from the Wind Sword lineage.
I am Liu Yi, a Cultivator at Tier 1 Stage 1, from the Fire Sword lineage."
He had paid attention earlier and knew what this Li Yuan had roughly experienced, so he would specifically adopt a gentler attitude towards him.
As for his brother, he didn't have that kind of brain.
Li Yuan walked in, closed the door, his face stern, but his tone became slightly more polite: "Brother Tang, hello."
He knew he should pretend not to know Tang Gao, so as not to expose Tang Gao's relevant information.
Tang Gao chuckled, pointing to the sofa nearby: "Sit down, let's watch the assessment together."
Li Yuan sat on a nearby sofa, his expression stern, his eyes fixed on the projection, no longer speaking.
The hardships he had endured since childhood had ground down his heart, making it difficult for him to experience emotional fluctuations. He also couldn't understand many emotions, only the instincts of a human being.
He didn't know what was justice or what was evil; he only knew that repaying Tang Gao's kindness was right. As for the rest, he knew very little.
Of course, there was also the words of the Violent Justice messenger big brother; what he said was also right.
Tang Gao smiled, not disliking Li Yuan's behavior, knowing that beneath this stern exterior lay a fervent, innocent heart.
"Knock knock!"
The door was knocked, and it was clear that the person knocking used a lot of force.
Tang Gao was slightly puzzled: "Come in."
Strange, who is it?
The door opened, and a lively girl with a bright smile appeared: "Hi ~ Tang Gao ~ We meet again!"
Tang Gao suddenly understood, standing up: "Oh oh oh ~ You're that ~ that who? Do I know you?"
Xu Ling'er was so angry her nose was crooked, hands on her hips: "You're too much! If you forgot, you forgot, why do you talk like that!
Xu Ling'er, the one who participated in the local professional exam!"
Tang Gao raised an eyebrow: "No impression. What do you want?"
Tang Gao only remembered instantly defeating many people at that time; he had no mind to remember who his defeated opponents were.
Xu Ling'er rolled her eyes, a little displeased with this Martial Exam Champion: "I saw your team was short one person, so I came to volunteer ~
I'm definitely a good teammate, trust me!"
Tang Gao was surprised, looking Xu Ling'er up and down, then down to up: "Where are you strong?"
He brought Liu Ren because he was his brother, and he had to bring him.
He brought Liu Yi because he was inherently excellent, making things easy.
He brought Li Yuan because he was his subordinate, and he was useful.
As for this Xu Ling'er... she was no different from the common rookie Cultivators, all defeated in one move.
Liu Yi lightly coughed twice and said: "Brother Tang, if you hadn't suddenly appeared this year, she would most likely have been first place."
Brother Tang was shocked: "She's so weak and can still get first?"
Are the candidates this year really competent or not?
Xu Ling'er was so angry her nose was crooked, hands on her hips: "Tang Gao, can you even talk! If it weren't for you instantly defeating the examiners, and the other examiners not wanting to be the second to be instantly defeated, you indirectly raised the difficulty of the assessment! I almost replicated your achievement!"
Xu Ling'er had made thorough preparations, intending to make a splash, but her 'splash' was not as grand as Tang Gao's. She could only barely manage to severely injure the examiner, regretfully taking second place and leaving the arena with a wronged expression.
Darn it! Tang Gao is too abnormal!
I was the one who prepared to instantly defeat the examiners first!
Tang Gao began to seriously look at Xu Ling'er: "Tell me your information, and I'll consider it."
Xu Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she puffed out her chest: "I'm a Tier 1 Stage 4 Cultivator, a Dual Cultivation of Ice-element Battle and Spell, and I have the Celestial Spirit Saint Body, which is very suitable for assessments like Hero's Glory Showdown!"
Tang Gao was surprised: "Tier 1 Stage 4 is very strong, but how is it suitable?"
According to normal standards, being able to have Tier 1 Stage 0 Cultivation is already a very outstanding Cultivator.
Tier 1 Stage 4, this girl really has some skills.
Indeed, if it weren't for me, she really might have gotten the title of Martial Exam Champion.
Xu Ling'er was full of confidence, pointing at Liu Yi: "I have several advantages, just wait for me to tell you slowly.
For example, if I fight this person, it's a 70-30 split; I have a 70% chance of winning!"
Liu Yi nodded: "Yes, Xu Ling'er is a well-known martial arts fanatic from Ninth High. If it weren't for me having to learn how to manage the Family, I probably would only be able to go 50-50 with her."
Liu Yi's combat talent was also very good, but ultimately, because a Family heir had to learn many things, he was slightly inferior in combat and killing.
Of course, Liu Yi also didn't need to learn too profound combat techniques; he would have professional bodyguards to protect him in the future.
Xu Ling'er proudly lifted her chin: "See, I'm very strong, right? And my perception is very powerful. For example, the person next to me, I can sense that he has Nine-Stage Battle Qi.
As for combat win rate, it's a 30-70 split."
Liu Ren was curious: "Why is it also a 30-70 split? Is your innate Spell forced to be 30-70?"
Xu Ling'er rolled her eyes: "It means you'll be knocked down seven times in three seconds. You're the weakest in the whole room."
Liu Ren was unconvinced, stood up, and pointed at Li Yuan: "What about him! He's a connected person sent in by General Liu!"
Why am I the weakest in the whole room!
Xu Ling'er glanced at Li Yuan, and couldn't help but retreat a step cautiously: "Tier 1 Stage 8 Cultivation. I don't know what his attribute is, but his Physique is very powerful.
As for the chances of winning, it should be a 30-70 split. In three seconds, I'd die seven times."
Liu Ren sat down speechless: "I have no more questions, you continue... Buddy, I'm sorry, you continue watching the assessment."
Damn, are even connected people this strong these days!
Xu Ling'er couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan twice more, then withdrew her gaze and chuckled: "You should know that Hero's Glory Showdown allows for revival, right!"
Tang Gao raised an eyebrow: "Indeed, and then what?"
Xu Ling'er proudly lifted her chin: "When I'm alive, my Physique allows me to learn anything quickly. After I die, my Spirit Body can control my corpse to fight again!
Have you heard of the legendary tower-pushing strategy — I even have zombies!
With my addition, we will definitely get the highest score!"
Tang Gao tactically leaned back, gasping in surprise: "Holy cow!"
Liu Ren gasped in surprise, his eyes wide: "So strong!"
Liu Yi was stunned, gasping in surprise: "Amazing!"
Li Yuan turned his head, took a couple more glances, then averted his gaze and continued watching the assessment.
Tang Gao clicked his tongue, looking at the two brothers beside him: "What do you two think? I think we can consider letting her join."
It had to be said, with such a fierce woman, a team showdown match could definitely end within half an hour.
Liu Ren gave a thumbs up: "I'm a slacker, I want to cling to a big shot, I think it's fine!"
Although this big shot was a bit arrogant, indeed, she had the capital to be arrogant.
If a big shot was willing to carry him, why would he need anything else?
As a slacker, one must have the awareness to find a big brother and cling to his leg!
Liu Yi thought for a moment, then nodded: "I agree. She's among the top ten combatants among Liang City's candidates, Brother Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Gao looked at this triumphant girl, who raised her head proudly like a little rooster, hands on her hips, and stroked his chin: "She's alright, acceptable."
Xu Ling'er huffed angrily, extending her hand: "If I couldn't beat you, I would have cursed you already. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation, Captain!"
Tang Gao chuckled, simply shaking her hand: "Alright, but I hope you can temper your arrogance. As a person, you can be arrogant and self-reliant, but you shouldn't look down on others because of it."
People like Xu Ling'er were the typical ones who were riding high on success, a bit disdainful of others, with that 'I am the strongest among my peers' vibe.
Of course, although a bit arrogant, she was still an acceptable person.
Xu Ling'er's eyes were firm, and she said seriously: "Only the strong can earn my respect. I respect you greatly, so I will consider your request... As for the others..."
Xu Ling'er glanced at the others and said earnestly: "Please show me your full strength to prove that you are not mediocre. I will naturally respect you!"
Tang Gao raised an eyebrow, beginning to look at Xu Ling'er properly: "Interesting."
A very strong-willed girl, and very interesting. He hoped she would have an excellent performance in the upcoming assessment.
