I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Fang Zhentian's expression turned serious, and he said, "The second thing is something I need to tell you in advance."

"Next year, when you enter your second year of university, every top university and military region in China will jointly hold a selection competition."

"And the person who ultimately wins each regional championship will receive a nomination vote."

Lin Yuan asked in a puzzled tone, "What are nomination votes?"

Fang Zhentian explained, "This nomination vote is your ticket to be selected for the National Team in the future."

To ensure Lin Yuan fully understood, Fang Zhentian explained the rules for obtaining nomination votes in detail.

To qualify for the National Team, each player needs four nomination votes.

There are three ways to obtain a nomination vote.

The first option is to register for the qualifying rounds in each major competition area, win the regional championship, and you will receive a nomination vote.

The second approach is through recommendations from the presidents of top universities in the country, commanders of major military regions, and high-ranking officials of the nation.

The number of recommendation votes is fixed, and each important figure only has one recommendation vote.

The third path is for professionals who have made significant contributions to the country.

After discussion at a meeting, senior management made an exception and issued additional nomination votes to the professional.

Fang Zhentian looked at Lin Yuan and continued, "Our War Academy is under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Military Region in terms of regional division."

"At that time, whether you are a freshman or a senior, as long as you meet the registration requirements, you can register to participate in this Northwest Regional Competition."

"And I hope you can participate in this competition."

"In addition, as the principal, I also have a nomination vote."

Fang Zhentian made his promise: "If you can win the nomination round in the selection competition, I will give you this vote as well."

"This is equivalent to you getting two nomination votes at once if you win the championship."

Lin Yuan said directly, "Even so, I'm still two votes short."

Fang Zhentian laughed and scolded, "You have made contributions to the country in the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, military training, Azure Island, and the recent training mission."

"You have a high reputation among the higher-ups, so I'm sure someone will be willing to vote for you."

"Furthermore, there is still a year before the nomination competition officially begins."

Fang Zhentian looked at Lin Yuan, his tone filled with obvious expectation: "With your current growth rate, kid."

"I can't even imagine how much I'll grow this year."

Looking at Fang Zhentian's cunning expression, Lin Yuan sensed the unspoken purpose behind his words.

He asked with some doubt, "Principal, you must have more to say than just this, right?"

Fang Zhentian did not avoid Lin Yuan's gaze, but chuckled and said bluntly, "I want you to be the captain of the National Team."

Upon hearing this request, Lin Yuan was taken aback. The position of captain of the National Team represented the highest command authority among the younger generation, and should also represent the strongest member of the National Team.

After realizing what was happening, he looked at Fang Zhentian and said, "Principal, are you pre-selecting someone?"

Fang Zhentian said firmly, "I believe you have the ability."

He did not deny the idea of ​​a pre-selection, after all, in his view, Lin Yuan's overall qualities were very suitable.

Although Lin Yuan is not as old as those senior students, he may have two years less combat experience in the Abyss Battlefield.

However, he has a very stable mindset, and judging from what has happened before, he is the only choice for captain.

He can provide absolute defensive protection, ensuring the team's survival rate, while also possessing considerable offensive capabilities.

In the past, there were no defensive professionals as team leaders. The team leader should be the strongest person, usually someone with high attack power.

The most common roles are those like Chu Tianxing, the Asura War God, or Ye Cang, the Paladin.

It has the tankiness to protect teammates, and also has strong offensive capabilities.

Fang Zhentian continued, "Furthermore, saying it was pre-arranged is too offensive and doesn't comply with the rules."

"This is also based on the premise that your strength is the strongest in the National Team."

"That's why I'm asking you to win the championship in the Northwest Military Region's nomination tournament."

"Only if you win the championship and prove your fighting ability will you be qualified to become the captain of the National Team."

What Fang Zhentian said was also the requirement of other important figures, some of whom were not able to come forward directly due to their status and position.

Lin Yuan didn't really care about the title of team captain.

In his view, such a title is just a name and has no real binding force.

Even if he weren't the team leader, as long as he was a member of the team fighting together, he couldn't possibly stand by and watch someone die if they were in real danger.

Protecting his teammates was just a matter of course for him, and it also gave him an extra layer of defense.

However, after a moment's thought, Lin Yuan asked the question that he was currently more concerned about.

He leaned forward slightly, getting closer to the desk, a smug look on his face.

"Principal, besides the good reputation, what practical benefits are there to joining this national team?" Lin Yuan asked.

"For example, do universities or the government offer various rewards for high-level materials?"

"Or perhaps rewards like high-level skill books, top-tier equipment, or other resources?"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's blunt words, Fang Zhentian laughed and scolded him in an annoyed manner.

"You little rascal, you really don't act until you see the benefit, do you?"

"I just told you so much about national honor and future prospects, but all you can think about is how to get something for yourself."

Fang Zhentian shook his head, then put away his smile and answered Lin Yuan's question seriously.

"Resource rewards are certainly available, and the quantity and quality are astonishing, far exceeding the limits you can access within the university."

"However, the country doesn't just give you these top-tier resources for free."

"You need to put in the effort yourself to compete with the national teams of other countries for these resources."

Fang Zhentian looked at Lin Yuan and explained in detail the differences in treatment between the captain and ordinary team members.

"As the captain of the National Government team, you will receive a larger share of basic resources than the ordinary team members."

"There's nothing unfair about it. The country has always believed in rewarding hard work when allocating resources."

"After all, the position of captain is not just a nice-sounding title."

"The captain needs to step up at critical moments to command the overall situation, stabilize morale, and be responsible for the team's tactical arrangements."

"When facing a strong enemy, we must also bear more combat pressure and responsibility for team casualties."

Next, Fang Zhentian began to explain to Lin Yuan in detail the specific competition process and rules of the National University Tournament.

I'm currently reading Chapter 285 of the novel "Cola Novel," which deals with matters concerning the National Government. I'm completely engrossed in it and can't tear myself away.
