410: There are rewards for winning

"There's a reward for this thing?"

Xiao Yun was immediately surprised to hear He Yan's words.

This was the first time he had heard that breaking the world record for the GTI assessment actually came with a reward.

"That's right, and there's more than one reward. As long as you break a record, GTI Headquarters will give you a corresponding reward."

"There's such a good thing!"

Xiao Yun's expression was instantly surprised upon hearing this.

He Yan, why didn't he say so earlier about such a good thing!

Originally, in this match, if it weren't for the sudden demise of all the other GTI Professional Teams at the start, Xiao Yun wouldn't have even planned to evacuate.

Before entering the restricted area, he had originally planned to hand over all the materials he had scavenged to Lu Xueqing, complete two simple tasks, give the earned bonus to Lu Xueqing, and then he and Liu Shihhan would self-destruct.

It was because of this intention that Xiao Yun only had them bring one set of five suits into the restricted area.

However, the situation changed later, which led Xiao Yun to choose to attack fiercely, clear the map, and then pull the lever to evacuate.

"So what exactly are the rewards?"

"This..."

When asked about the specific rewards, He Yan suddenly stammered and scratched his head.

It didn't look like he was hesitating whether or not to speak, but rather that he felt somewhat unable to articulate it.

"Examiner He, you're not messing with me, are you?"

Seeing his behavior, Xiao Yun's face instantly turned cold, and he felt a bit speechless internally.

This He Yan, he wouldn't be trying to string him along with empty promises, would he!

He said there were rewards, but what if the reward was just some kind of certificate similar to a Guinness World Record, just to brush him off?

Or what if it was some kind of medal? That would be even more ridiculous.

What good would that kind of thing do him?

Even if they didn't give money, they should at least give some other benefits, right? Otherwise, breaking this world record would be too cheap!

"Of course not!"

He Yan quickly explained.

"It's just, how do I put it, I'm not really sure what the specific reward is... Oh, right, Mr. George, do you know anything about this?"

"Well... to be honest, I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either."

George said with a smile on his face, showing no shame.

"...I'm going back. Remember to send those few packs of materials to my hotel."

Xiao Yun said with a cold face, intending to leave with Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing.

"Hey! Don't be in such a hurry."

Seeing that Xiao Yun was getting a bit angry, He Yan quickly stopped them.

If he let them leave without explaining clearly, with a genius like Xiao Yun's personality, he might intentionally mess up a few matches later and deliberately not break the world record. Then his master would be furious, and he would be wrongly accused!

Although he didn't fully understand Xiao Yun's personality, the previous genius from Long Country was exactly like that...

Just thinking about what Song Qiuyun did in the restricted area at that time gave He Yan a headache.

Fortunately, he managed to explain it clearly to her in the end, otherwise Long Country might now be several levels behind Lighthouse Country in terms of assessment records.

"Although I'm not entirely clear on the specific reward, I can assure you that the reward for breaking assessment records is something you absolutely cannot buy with money."

"Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me what it's for."

Xiao Yun said impatiently.

His good impression of He Yan, which had grown due to yesterday's events, was now gradually fading.

This guy talks for ages and can't explain anything clearly!

However, this style of doing things was quite consistent with the typical behavior of Long Country's administrators.

"Let me put it this way..."

He Yan took a deep breath, then said with a very serious expression.

"Since this reward is directly issued by GTI Official, and it's kept secret from everyone except the team that broke the record, do you understand its value now?"

"Not really."

"Alright, let me give you an example."

He Yan sighed, then explained.

"Take the last team from Long Country that broke the assessment record, for example. The captain of that team was named Song Qiuyun. She is currently the reigning number one on the GTI Mo Jin list and is incredibly strong."

"Oh."

Xiao Yun nodded silently, signaling He Yan to continue.

"Hmm, the team led by Song Qiuyun once broke the GTI assessment record for the highest number of evacuations, from the original 8 times to nine evacuations out of ten matches, with an astonishing 90% evacuation rate."

"Nine evacuations out of ten matches? Couldn't anyone do that?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing Xiao Yun's boastful remarks, it was He Yan's turn to lose his patience.

Their personalities were almost at two extremes, one too steady, the other a bit ostentatious, which also gave He Yan a headache.

Why do all these geniuses feel the same?

However.

What He Yan didn't know at this moment was that Xiao Yun's personality wasn't usually like this.

He was just deliberately teasing He Yan because he seemed so honest and serious.

It was fun, he'd do it again next time.

"What I do know is that after Song Qiuyun's team completed the assessment, because they broke a GTI record, they once disappeared for a period of time."

He Yan said, his expression also becoming somewhat grave.

"Their disappearance at that time wasn't just disappearing from other people's attention; they literally vanished from the world! No one could find her, no one could contact her. Do you understand what I mean?"

"So, she went to another world?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun finally felt a stir within him.

Could it be that the reward for breaking the restricted area record was the ability to go to the world behind the restricted area?

That future world ruled by GTI, Hafk, and Asala, and also a doomsday ravaged by frequent wars.

"I speculate that's highly likely, but that's just everyone's guess. She can't reveal the specific situation."

"And after they returned?"

"After they returned, their strength soared. They were clearly just a talented new GTI Professional Team, yet they were incredibly seasoned upon their return. Especially Song Qiuyun herself, she went into the restricted area like crazy after coming back, running knife after knife. Within a few years, she quickly achieved the accomplishment of becoming the reigning number one on the GTI Mo Jin list, and at the same time, she broke another world record."

At this point, He Yan's expression also changed from initial solemnity to a thoughtful, head-down look.

"It's as if... her actions were all about urgently completing another record-breaking feat to obtain some special reward from GTI Headquarters."

"Good heavens!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun finally understood why He Yan had behaved that way before.

So, breaking records in the restricted area, GTI seems to open up a secret realm for you, similar to those in fantasy novels, allowing you to quickly increase your strength, right!

This He Yan, why didn't he say so earlier when such a thing existed!

But thinking about it, it was normal. Perhaps He Yan himself didn't expect Xiao Yun's strength to have the opportunity to achieve all of this now.

"Wait, Song Qiuyun?"

Xiao Yun suddenly raised an eyebrow, finding the name very familiar.

Isn't that the team that was just... uh, that was killed by something in the restricted area?
