Lin Xinghai nodded in sudden understanding. He hadn’t realized the rit dal represented not just honor, but also ca with such practical benefits.
"By the way, Captain Song, how do you know about all these benefits that co with the rit dal?" Lin Xinghai asked curiously.
After all, Zhang Yue had left in a hurry right after telling them about their rewards, saying he had other matters to attend to. He hadn’t had ti to explain the uses of the rit dal.
It wasn’t just Lin Xinghai; Qin Wenbo and Fang Tianhe also turned to Song Yao with curiosity.
"Actually, once you break through to the Blood Qi Realm, the military will co to recruit you. You’ll find out about all their benefits then," Song Yao said.
He also revealed sothing else: within two years of breaking through to the Blood Qi Realm, you’re required to perform military service. Of course, the term wasn’t long—only one year.
As for why this military service was compulsory, Song Yao said he didn’t know.
However, upon hearing Song Yao’s words, Lin Xinghai and Fang Tianhe couldn’t help but exchange a look. They instantly knew they were both thinking the sa thing.
Others might not know the reason, but the two of them had t Elder Wei and heard so secrets. How could they not understand the reason for this compulsory military service?
It was, of course, because of the ever-increasing number of Abyssal Passages.
Ordinary people could live under the nation’s protection, oblivious to the matter of the Abyssal Passages, and thus had no need to worry about it.
But once soone reached a level like the Blood Qi Realm, they were considered part of the absolute backbone of society, no matter where they were. Naturally, they needed to know the dangers humanity faced and contribute their strength to the cause.
"Captain Song, maybe you’ll understand why after you complete your military service," Fang Tianhe said in a cryptic tone. He was dying to see the look on Song Yao’s face when he finally learned about the Abyssal Passages.
Song Yao paused, slightly taken aback, but before he could say anything, Lin Xinghai quickly changed the subject. "Weren’t we supposed to be celebrating? Let’s not just stand around here. Co on, let’s go get a drink!"
At Lin Xinghai’s words, everyone nodded and started walking toward the rcenary Guild’s bar.
He Jianbo, who had been eavesdropping from the side with his ears perked, saw the group about to leave. He threw all caution to the wind and shalessly tagged along.
’After all, this was a chance to latch onto so powerful patrons!’
’Even if he managed to borrow so rit now, it would just be a one-ti deal. But if he could get on good terms with these three rcenary corps, he could ask them to help him exchange for military-grade weapons in the future!’
Of course, He Jianbo wasn’t the only one with this idea. Upon spotting the Three Major rcenary Corps in the rcenary Guild, the others couldn’t help but gather around to offer their congratulations.
While congratulating them, they would also subtly inquire if the Three Major rcenary Corps were willing to trade their rit. They made it clear they wouldn’t mind a higher exchange rate for a large-volu trade.
However, as they inquired, they quickly learned from He Jianbo about the special perks of the rit dal. This made the other rcenary Corps Leaders burn with envy and resentnt.
This also caused another shift in their attitude. Many of the corps leaders dropped their airs of dignity and began to openly suck up to them.
Seeing this, Song Yao and Qin Wenbo agreed to help only a few of the rcenary Corps they were already acquainted with to exchange for so military-grade weapons. As for the inquiries from the other corps, they began to give evasive, non-committal answers.
Although they could use their rit dals and Points to exchange for military-grade weapons, there was a limit to everything. If they took it too far, especially if they used it for profit, they might provoke the military’s ire.
That was why they didn’t dare to promise help to too many people. When the other leaders saw the two corps being evasive, they imdiately turned their attention to the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps.
At the sa ti, Song Yao and Qin Wenbo also took the opportunity to introduce so of the corps leaders they knew to Lin Xinghai.
During the introductions, they made it clear that when Lin Xinghai was piloting a cha, he was even more powerful than they were.
They emphasized that if it hadn’t been for Lin Xinghai this ti, forget about receiving a rit dal; it was questionable whether they would have even made it back alive.
Naturally, their words caused another stir.
Everyone was certainly familiar with Lin Xinghai, the Gun God. It was just that back then, they had been more focused on his terrifyingly fast money-making abilities.
Nearly every Third Level rcenary Corps had extended an olive branch to Lin Xinghai at so point. But back then, in their minds, Lin Xinghai was just a money-making tool; they had no clear understanding of his actual combat strength.
But now, with the accounts from Song Yao and Qin Wenbo, combined with the million Points next to his na on the rit leaderboard, it was all telling a clear story: Lin Xinghai had grown to a level that most of them could only gaze up at in awe.
Lin Xinghai had well and truly stepped from behind the scenes into the spotlight, allowing everyone in the rcenary Guild to recognize him as a true powerhouse.
Faced with the crowd of rcenary Corps Leaders who were swarming him with complints and attempts to build connections, Lin Xinghai simply smiled and directed them all to Fang Tianhe.
This made the leaders of the Second and Third Level rcenary Corps who had sward over, hoping to strike up a conversation, absolutely burn with envy toward Fang Tianhe.
They couldn’t understand what kind of dumb luck he’d had to recruit a rising star like Lin Xinghai. In such a short ti, their group had not only been promoted from a First Level rcenary Corps to a Second Level rcenary Corps, but at this rate, they were probably not far from becoming a Third Level rcenary Corps either.
Of course, regardless of what they were really thinking, they all hurled endless complints at him for the sake of getting access to rit, and the praise flowed so freely that Fang Tianhe started to feel a bit light-headed.
Amidst a chorus of flattery, the group soon arrived at the rcenary Guild’s bar.
When they reached the bar, they found it was incredibly bustling. The venue, which could hold a thousand people, was already nearly full.
The Three Major rcenary Corps had arrived in full force. Excluding those who had died in battle or were too injured to attend, their combined number was still nearly 400 people.
Clearly, there was no room for them.
Just as Lin Xinghai was thinking they could skip the drinking and head straight back, Song Yao and Qin Wenbo stepped forward to leverage their reputation.
The two n announced that they hoped the rcenary corps present would be willing to make so room for them. As compensation, of course, they would cover everyone’s tab for the day.
If any ordinary rcenary corps had dared to make such a request, the hot-tempered rcenaries in the crowd might have just scowled and told them to get lost.
However, the person saying it was Song Yao, a Blood Qi Realm expert. Furthermore, he was representing three rcenary corps that now possessed rit dals. The weight behind his words was entirely different.
Moreover, Song Yao only asked the regular mbers of the various rcenary corps to leave. He invited all the corps leaders, vice-leaders, and any expert who had broken their third Genetic Lock to stay and celebrate with them.
Under these circumstances, not a single rcenary corps dared to disrespect the Three Major rcenary Corps—not even the other Third Level rcenary Corps. After all, they also had a need for military-grade weapons.
And just like that, the Three Major rcenary Corps essentially took over the entire bar as the regular mbers of one corps after another were asked to leave.
As most of the rcenaries were clearing out, Lin Xinghai spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
"Gao Mountain, have the mbers of the Mountain and Sea rcenary Corps stay behind!" Lin Xinghai said, speaking for the first ti since they had entered the bar.
