National Call: Start the Undead War God 096

"However, there's one more thing I'm curious about. With your strength, defeating Yang Dongsheng should be a piece of cake, so why did you forfeit?"

"There's no particular reason. It's just that at the time, the energy in my power core was completely depleted, and I no longer had the ability to fight."

Xu Shisan certainly had his own purpose in doing this.

"Oh, really? But it seems to me that you weren't in a state of weakness at the time."

"The students were just putting on a brave face."

"Thirteen, you don't need to lie to me. The principal won't do anything to you."

"Principal, I'm telling the truth."

"Alright, then the principal will trust you for now. However, I still hope that you will participate in the Superpower Competition three days from now as a formal member of our No. 3 Middle School team."

“Principal, this is probably not a good idea. The whole school knows that I withdrew and became a substitute.”

"Besides, I'm just an E-level ability user, not even a main force."

"There's nothing wrong with it; it's all for the honor of our school."

"Since you've said so, I assure you that I will step up when it matters most. However, I am only an E-level, so there's not much I can do."

"It's good that you have this heart."

night.

Lin Wanwan returned home for the holidays.

She rushed upstairs and asked her brother, "Brother, what happened today? Why did you sign up for the selection competition? And when did you advance to E-level? And you've become so amazing?"

Xu Shisan knew that Lin Wanwan would ask this question as soon as she returned, and he was also very troubled because he really didn't know how to explain it.

So Xu Shisan said to his sister, "Wanwan, don't ask anymore. This is your brother's secret."

"What? Bro, you're so unfair! I'm angry!" Lin Wanwan said, puffing out her cheeks.

"This is too complicated to explain. Anyway, I'll tell you when I have the chance." Xu Shisan rubbed Lin Wanwan's head.

"Alright, I won't ask about it anymore, but you have to explain to me why you forfeited your match against Yang Dongsheng today. You were clearly capable of beating him."

"I just don't want to be a formal team member."

"why?"

"Well, because I want a bargaining chip."

"Bargaining chips? I don't understand."

"It's understandable if you don't understand, because I have my own plans."

The lakeside residential area is 500 meters away from Xiangcheng No.1 Middle School.

After school, Han Qiuyun returned home, where her mother, Liu Meixiang, was waiting for her in the living room.

Upon meeting, Liu Meixiang asked, "Have you finished absorbing the D-grade superpower pill that Mom gave you today?"

"Yes, it's all absorbed," Han Qiuyun replied softly.

Liu Meixiang stood up and took Han Qiuyun's slender hand in hers.

"Mom is useless. You can barely afford a D-grade superpower pill that costs 10,000 yuan, and you have to suffer in this small county town."

“That heartless man abandoned us, but he never expected that my daughter is so intelligent and talented. You are now my only support. You must get into Beijing University and then marry a member of a prominent family in the capital. I will make that heartless man regret it, and I will make the entire Shen family regret it!”

"Don't worry, Mom will figure out the money for you. I went to the school today and talked to your school leaders. If you win first place in the superpower competition in three days, you will receive 500,000 yuan. Before the college entrance examination, the school will also allocate some resources to support you. At that time, your third derivative skill and advancement will be secured."

"If you can successfully get into Imperial University, the school will give you a C-grade beast core and a million as a reward." "Daughter, you must work hard and get into Imperial University. Tomorrow, Mom will try to get you a few more D-grade ability pills."

Liu Meixiang gripped Han Qiuyun's arm, her eyes filled with a certain longing.

"I understand, Mom. Please stop talking."

Han Qiuyun shook off her mother and returned to her room.

Every time she returned home and faced her mother, Han Qiuyun felt suffocated, unable to breathe.

three days later.

As buses drove into Xiangcheng No. 3 Middle School, contestants from other middle schools in Xiangyun County had already arrived at the competition venue.

In addition, there were teachers and students from various schools who came to watch the game.

At this moment, the huge arena erected in the center of the playground of No. 3 Middle School was surrounded by students from various schools.

Looking at the judges' panel, the principals of eight middle schools sat there; they were the judges for the competition.

As the competition time approached, Wang Changfu, the principal of the Third Middle School, who was the organizer, stepped forward and gave a speech in front of the microphone.

"Dear students, teachers, and students and teachers from other schools, hello everyone."

"It's a pleasure to have everyone gathered here. As the organizer of this competition, our No. 3 Middle School is very honored to have the teachers and students from all the schools here."

"Before this, our No. 3 Middle School made a lot of preparations to welcome everyone."

"As you can see, our school's playground is spotless. This shows how much our No. 3 Middle School values ​​its teachers and students."

"What else?"

In any world, some schools like to give useless opening remarks and speeches from school leaders at their meetings.

Damn it, can't you just get straight to the point?!
You keep telling students to cherish their time and study, but you're the one who wastes the most time!
Students from other schools, listening to Wang Changfu's eloquent speech on stage, were all silently cursing his mother.

About half an hour later, Wang Changfu finished his speech and the topic returned to the competition.

"The last thing is the rewards for the team and individual competitions of this year's Superpower Competition."

"We have maintained the previous competition rules and rewards. The team that wins first place will receive a prize of one million."

"The team that comes in second place will receive a prize of 500,000 yuan."

"The team that comes in third place will receive a prize of 100,000 yuan."

The team competition rewards have remained unchanged for over a decade.

One million sounds like a lot, but a small team has five people, so if you divide it equally, each person only gets two hundred thousand.

What can you do with 200,000?
They couldn't even buy the inner core of the One-Horned Rhinoceros King that Xu Shisan had previously possessed.

If converted to D-grade superpower pills, that's enough to buy twenty pills.

For someone like Xing Zhenzhong, who is ranked first in his grade, his family is far from lacking that 200,000 yuan.

Adding another zero would make it even more attractive.

"Of course, at this point, many students must be thinking to themselves, what's the point of having this prize amount unchanged for over a decade?"

"Today, I have an important announcement to make."

"After discussions among the eight middle schools in Xiangcheng, it has been decided to add further rewards." (End of Chapter)
