Representative of the Southwest Province

After applying the electromagnetic adhesion device,

A Li swung his darkkin demon sword.

Hey, don't say it,

It's quite handy.

As long as it's not like A'lan, who wildly smashes with the ancient tree nemesis,

It's enough to handle normal combat.

"Thank you, Old Qiao." Lin Yuan raised his teacup and thanked Qiao Lin.

"You're welcome," Qiao Lin replied with a smile.

"I didn't really help much."

"This weapon of yours has infinite potential; I feel Epic isn't its limit."

"If a few more rare metals are added, it might even become a legendary weapon."

A Li gently stroked the demon sword.

"The darkkin demon sword was originally legendary."

"It dropped in quality because its blade was shattered before."

"If purgatory demonic iron can be found and it's re-forged, it will definitely be upgraded to legendary."

"purgatory demonic iron?" Qiao Lin shook his head.

"Today is the first time I've heard of purgatory demonic iron."

"purgatory demonic iron is extremely precious," A Li explained.

"It's a specialty of Purgatory."

"Purgatory is the demons' base camp, extremely dangerous."

"The environment is harsh, and there are many powerful individuals; ordinary people simply cannot survive there."

"There will be a chance." Lin Yuan waved his hand at A Li.

"The level cap of Blue Star has increased, so we'll probably encounter demons soon."

demons are a very powerful race.

They are Third-Tier Elites from birth,

And Fifth-Tier Battle Generals when they reach adulthood.

Powerful demons are even Lords from birth,

And can easily become Rulers.

Such a powerful race,

Completely looks down on weak worlds like Blue Star.

Even occupying them has no value for plunder.

After the matter was settled, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to leave,

Instead, he stayed with Qiao Lin for a while,

Because Qiao Lin said he had something to give Lin Yuan.

About ten minutes later, an officer walked over with a box.

"Old Qiao, Commander Qin asked me to give this to you."

Qiao Lin took the box,

Opened it,

Inside was a medal.

"This is a Second-Class Military Merit Medal, it's for you."

"Last time you destroyed the Zerg Nest Fortress and provided a strategy that could completely shut down the Zerg Nests."

"After everyone's research, it was decided to award you the Second-Class Military Merit Medal."

"The Second-Class Military Merit Medal comes with 50,000 merit points, which can be used to purchase items you need on the Demon Suppression Army APP."

"With this medal, you have the right to mobilize Demon Suppression Army personnel below the general rank to assist in combat."

The medal was placed in Lin Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan picked it up and looked at it carefully.

The front of the medal was engraved with the mountains and rivers of Xia Kingdom,

The back was a sword and shield, with 'Second-Class' written on it.

The design was beautiful and grand.

"Thank you, Old Qiao, thank you, Commander Qin." Lin Yuan smiled and put away the medal.

"Don't mention it, this is what you deserve." Qiao Lin gestured for Lin Yuan to sit down.

"After receiving your strategy, Commander Qin immediately organized the elites of the Demon Suppression Army to begin the assault."

"Without regard for consequences, they completely conquered three Zerg Nests in very special locations."

"Greatly alleviating the pressure on the Demon Suppression Army."

"You have rendered outstanding service."

As the two were talking, the captain who had driven Lin Yuan earlier walked in.

"Old Qiao, the martial arts competition for the four major provinces has been announced."

"It will take place in Superpower Fortress."

"Superpower Fortress." Qiao Lin thought for a moment.

"I remember Superpower Fortress is a Dungeon for levels 25 to 40."

"Isn't this competition targeting us?"

Old Qiao scoffed.

"They're worried I'll send Li Lie and Su Xin, how petty."

Luo Yushang said from the side,

"Li Lie and Su Xin's strength is indeed very strong. At level 52, they can actually kill a level 60 Battle General BOSS when working together."

"Last year's martial arts competition among the four major provinces really stole the show."

"If it happens again this year, I'm afraid the result will be the same."

"Hahahahaha." Qiao Lin laughed heartily.

"They all say that my Southwest Province has good feng shui."

"Pah!"

"That's because my Southwest Province values talent."

"Look at how many welfare homes and schools Southwest Province has built over the years."

"Those displaced children all have a chance to awaken."

"The more who awaken, the more who succeed."

Luo Yushang nodded, clearly agreeing with Qiao Lin's words.

Establishing welfare homes and schools was no small expense.

Someone suggested using that money to cultivate existing Professionals,

But Qiao Lin vetoed it with a single vote.

Those who had already become Professionals could strive to become stronger on their own,

But those children who had not yet grown up could only rely on the state.

These children must be given a safe and comfortable environment,

Only then could such a country have a future.

Qiao Lin's hand lightly tapped the table.

"Are there any good prospects among the level 40 Professionals?"

The captain was well-prepared,

Immediately handed over the information.

"Currently, there are 76,538 people who have reached level 40 and have not yet changed professions."

"There are 826 people whose combat power meets the requirements."

"The top three are Feng Qiu, Xu Lin, and Cai Pengyu."

"Feng Qiu, Weapon Warrior, has both burst damage and sustained damage, a strong offensive player."

"Xu Lin, Fire Mage, extremely high burst, lacks sustain, a strong offensive player."

"Cai Pengyu, Monk, has output, burst, can tank damage, and can heal, an all-rounder."

Looking at the information of the three, Qiao Lin felt they were acceptable.

All three had soloed Dungeons before,

Of course, certainly not Nightmare difficulty.

However, a few of them had cleared Nightmare difficulty Dungeons a few times.

"I wonder what the mission will be this time. To be safe, let's send Cai Pengyu."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yushang suddenly said,

"Is this Dungeon for levels 25 to 40?"

"I remember Lin Yuan is exactly level 25, why not send him?"

"With his strength, wouldn't he just slaughter them at will?"

Qiao Lin hadn't thought in that direction originally,

But after careful consideration,

"Brilliant!"

"Send Lin Yuan, the lowest level, to achieve first place."

"Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?"

"Let's do it."

Qiao Lin and Luo Yushang thought so,

But the premise was that Lin Yuan had to agree.

"How about it, are you interested in representing Southwest Province in battle?"

"To slap the faces of those guys from the other three regions?"

"Oh." Lin Yuan became a little interested.

"Tell me, what's it about?"

"Every year, the four major regions hold a grand martial arts competition."

Qiao Lin told Lin Yuan the origin of the grand competition.

"The purpose of holding the grand competition is to promote healthy competition among Professionals."

"The first prize is an Epic-grade equipment or item."

"Second to fourth place receive three diamond equipment pieces."

"The rewards are secondary; everyone is actually fighting for face."

"The winning province can stand a little straighter when facing Professionals from other regions."

"Last year, the chosen Dungeon for the competition was a team raid, and under the leadership of Li Lie and Su Xin, Southwest Province took first place."

"What a coincidence," Lin Yuan continued, following Qiao Lin's words.

"This year, with me, Southwest Province will again be first place."
