Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 15 Won Over from All Sides

"Report!" the officer who had led Yang Wu to the gate reported. "I have brought Yang Wu, who is currently undergoing assessment!"

The door to the room was not closed at the moment. Yang Wu looked inside and found that he did not recognize any of the people inside.

"Yang Wu, right!" Zhuge Tao greeted Yang Wu with a smile upon his arrival, "Let's get acquainted. I'm Zhuge Tao, the manager of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy!"

"Angel investor Zhuge Tao!" Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, naturally knew who Zhuge Tao was.

It was he who invested in Luo Feng when Luo Feng had just become a martial artist.

"Then, the people in the room must be the leaders of the other major forces!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

"My lord!" Yang Wu greeted him with a slight bow.

"No need for formalities!" Zhuge Tao smiled gently and asked Yang Wu, "Yang Wu, has your physical fitness reached the level of a junior warrior?"

"Yes!" Yang Wu replied calmly. He had intended to make a name for himself this time, so of course he wouldn't hide his strength.

"Have you ever taken any treasures like dragon blood and jade marrow to improve your physical condition, or gene-enhancing drugs?" Zhuge Tao asked expectantly.

Inside the room, Liu Dong and the other two were also looking at Yang Wu expectantly.

"No!" Yang Wu answered without hesitation.

They were asking about the treasure, certainly not the help of the time simulator.

"Yang Wu, come with me!" Upon hearing Yang Wu's affirmative answer, Zhuge Tao quickly pulled Yang Wu outside.

"Zhuge!"

"Zhuge Tao!"

The three people behind him shouted loudly and then quickly followed.

Knowing that he could not leave this place, Zhuge Tao turned around and chuckled, "Gentlemen, I was just joking."

"Hmph, that joke isn't funny at all!" Wang Heng snorted coldly, then walked over to Yang Wu and said with a smile, "Yang Wu, you're a genius. How about joining my Thunder Martial Arts Academy? The treatment my Thunder Martial Arts Academy offers to its martial artists is much better than that of the Limit Martial Arts Academy!"

After hearing Wang Heng's words, Zhuge Tao also snorted coldly, but he did not refute them, because the treatment given to martial artists by the Thunder Martial Arts Academy was indeed better than that of the Limit Martial Arts Academy.

However, Zhuge Tao did not remain idle. Instead, he immediately took out his communication watch and began contacting others.

"Yang Wu, I am Liu Dong, the director of the Security Bureau of Jiangnan Base City. As you should know, our Security Bureau is responsible for all matters concerning martial artists within the base city. In our..."

"etc!"

Before Liu Dong could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Zhuge Tao, who stared at him with displeasure.

Zhuge Tao ignored Liu Dong and quickly asked Yang Wu, "Yang Wu, are you already 24 years old this year?"

"Yes!" Yang Wu replied.

"What?"

"24 years old!"

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Wang Heng and the other two felt regretful, and their attitude towards winning over Yang Wu was not as strong as before.

As is well known, the period when a martial artist's strength improves the fastest is between the ages of 16 and 30. After this period, the improvement of a martial artist's strength becomes extremely slow.

Yang Wu was already 24 years old at this time.

If Yang Wu were five or six years younger, or even four years younger, Zhuge Tao and others could help him apply for a spot in the elite training camp.

The four initially believed that Yang Wu could enter the elite training camp because they thought he couldn't be older than 20.

But they never expected that Yang Wu, who could increase his strength by nearly 8,000 kilograms on his first attempt at cultivating gene energy, would only reach the assessment standard for a quasi-martial artist at the age of 24. This was completely illogical!

There are many novice warriors around 24 years old in the world. Even if they have mastered a specialized level of marksmanship, they can at most enter the basic training camp, but they still do not meet the admission standards for the elite training camp.

Moreover, at 24 years old, most people in the basic training camp are already close to graduation, so Yang Wu's role in the camp wouldn't be particularly significant.

The most important point is that a god of war is hard to find!

There are a lot of martial artists in the world who are stuck at the peak of the advanced warrior level, but there are only a little over three thousand true war gods in the entire world.

Logically speaking, these high-ranking warriors' physical qualities have reached a level that is incredibly close to that of war gods. With just a slight breakthrough, they could cross the threshold of becoming war gods.

But this step has stopped countless people, and age is also a factor in this.

Given two people of equal ability, one over thirty and the other under thirty, it's obvious that the one under thirty will have a better chance of breaking through.

Of course, there are also some precious treasures in the world. As long as you have enough wealth to buy treasures, even a martial artist in his seventies or eighties can easily break through the bottleneck.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhuge Tao and the other three did not want to win over Yang Wu. Even as a 24-year-old junior general, he was considered a good genius in their eyes, not to mention that this general had also mastered the specialized level of spear technique.

After a moment of silence, Wang Heng of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy was the first to state his terms: "Yang Wu, although you are a little older, I still admire you very much. Now, I formally invite you to join our Thunder Martial Arts Academy."

"The conditions that our Thunder Martial Arts Academy offers to talented martial artists are much higher than those of the Limit Martial Arts Academy!"

First: You may choose any detached villa to live in within the main city and garrison area of ​​my Jiangnan Base City. Of course, you only have the right to reside there, not the right to buy or sell it.

Second: You can get 2500 million in start-up capital, as well as various secret manuals with a price not exceeding 5000 million.

Thirdly, if you're interested, I can apply for our Thunder Martial Arts Academy's top-tier training program for you. Although you're a bit older, it will still be helpful!

For recruiting talented martial artists, the Limitless Martial Arts Academy only offers 2000 million in start-up capital, while the Thunder Martial Arts Academy offers 2500 million, which is indeed much higher.

After hearing Wang Heng's terms, Hou Zhen and Liu Dong felt much more at ease.

These conditions are the recruitment standards for talented martial artists set by the two martial arts schools. Although they are not bad, they are not very attractive to a warrior-level martial artist. Only the special training contract at the end is somewhat appealing.

"Yang Wu!" Hou Zhen also spoke up, recruiting, "Our military only provides ten million in start-up funds for talented martial artists, and the price ceiling for the secret manual is also 5000 million."

However, after joining the military, your family can live in the martial arts community that our military built specifically for martial artists. Within the borders of our China, the military's martial arts community offers the most comprehensive protection; even someone surpassing the level of a war god would have absolutely no chance of harming your family!

Of course, if you're interested in attending the basic training camp, I can help you submit your application!

Upon hearing Hou Zhen's terms, Yang Wu was immediately tempted.

In the original novel, after Luo Feng's suspected demise, Li Yao and his wife used worldly means to deal with Luo Feng's family. If Luo Feng had lived in a military martial arts community, such a thing probably wouldn't have happened.

However, after joining the Huaxia Kingdom, I might have to carry out various tasks issued by my superiors, just like in the second simulation. Whether it's cultivation or anything else, I won't have the same freedom as I do now.

"Yang Wu, our Security Bureau's conditions are similar to the military's, and moreover, our Security Bureau has the greatest influence in the base city!" Liu Dong laughed. "Join us, and you'll have more time to spend with your family!"

After explaining their own conditions, Wang Heng and the other two looked at Zhuge Tao, since Yang Wu had a closer relationship with the Limitless Martial Arts Academy.
