Everyone Was a Sycophant

For China as it was now, what was the most appealing thing?

Money?

No, no, no. To Chinese people nowadays, money was practically an external possession.

China's national power had become unimaginably strong. To China as it was now, every true Chinese person was indispensable. The universe was too vast; Earth's 1.4 billion people simply were not enough.

Those without even the qualifications for enhancement did not deserve to call themselves Chinese.

And what was the best way to pursue strength? Joining the system, joining the military. Compared to the methods of growing stronger available among civilians, the military had far more.

Therefore, for Lu Renjia and the others, being able to establish ties with the military would naturally be the best possible outcome.
