The Army's Invitation

"Over 3 million!"

Chu Han was overjoyed, his face beaming.

He had never seen so much money in his life.

It was the same in his previous life.

With this money, he could buy some new equipment.

Most importantly, he could buy better treatment for his father!

"I choose to trade!"

Without hesitation, Chu Han chose to trade. Immediately, his wristband displayed a deposit of 3.795 million Federal currency into his account.

Adding the original 250,000, his savings instantly surpassed 4 million.

"As expected, martial artists make the most money!"

Chu Han was very excited.

He then asked, "Manager Du, does the base's mall have any medicine that can treat serious injuries for martial artists?"

He had inquired about his father's treatment medicine before, but as a student, the information he could access was limited, and most of it wasn't accurate.

Du Kun chuckled upon hearing this. "Of course, Mr. Chu. May I ask what kind of injury the person you want to treat sustained? And how long ago was it?"

"He was poisoned by a Cave Demon Spider. Although the poison was cleared, there are still various hidden injuries left in his body. His internal organs are severely damaged. It's been 12 years, and he's currently only relying on basic treatment liquid to slow the progression of his condition."

Chu Han explained his father's situation.

Du Kun frowned slightly and slowly said, "To fully recover, or even regain his martial artist strength, he would need an A-rank Nirvana Pill, a 7th-tier Fruit of Life, or Water of Life. The value of each of these treasures is over billions of Federal currency! I'm afraid..."

"I can't afford those. Are there any cheaper options? Medicine that can at least prevent the condition from worsening or alleviate the patient's pain."

Chu Han's savings were limited, and the options Du Kun recommended were currently unrealistic.

He just hoped for a way to temporarily alleviate his father's symptoms; other things could be dealt with gradually.

Du Kun pondered for a moment and said, "There's also the Life No. 1 Gene Potion that meets your requirements. It's a gene potion developed in recent years specifically for repairing human injuries and treating various illnesses. After taking it, it reprograms the body's genes to repair damage."

"Oh?" Chu Han's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Can it completely cure his condition?"

Du Kun shook his head slightly. "While this potion can repair physical damage, it has its limitations. After taking it, the person you mentioned will most likely be able to eliminate the physical ailments and restore their body to a complete state. However, the Origin Energy lost due to the injury and illness cannot be replenished."

"Moreover, after treatment, their body might be weaker than an ordinary person's. They'll only be able to perform simple basic activities and won't be able to do strenuous work. However, they'll be able to take care of themselves and won't need to continue taking those treatment liquids, which would be a considerable relief."

"Hmm, not bad."

Chu Han nodded. The situation Du Kun described was definitely acceptable to him!

He then asked, "Manager Du, how much does a bottle of this Life No. 1 Gene Potion cost?"

"The unified price in the Federation is 5 million Federal currency per dose," Du Kun replied.

"5 million? I'm still a bit short."

Chu Han only had a little over 4 million, still a significant gap.

Du Kun smiled upon hearing this. "Mr. Chu, you are a high-quality customer in my eyes. I can authorize a 30% discount for you!"

"Really? Thank you so much, Manager Du."

"It's my honor to be able to help Mr. Chu."

Du Kun had already determined that Chu Han's future was limitless, and providing him with convenience now was a worthwhile investment for him.

He, as a trading manager of his level, had many such authorizations to offer discounts to potential clients.

Chu Han paid 3.5 million Federal currency. Soon, Du Kun personally retrieved a bottle of Life No. 1 Gene Potion and handed it to Chu Han.

Chu Han carefully took the potion, examining the small bottle in his hand as if he could already see his father standing up and moving around after recovering.

After thanking Du Kun, he hurried out of the trading center, preparing to go home and treat his father.

However, as he reached the entrance of the trading center, a loud voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Chu Han!"

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Captain Wang from the army waving at him.

Standing beside Captain Wang was another person, Officer Li, who was with the Principal!

"Officer Li, Captain Wang," Chu Han greeted them with a smile.

Captain Wang walked up, patted Chu Han on the shoulder, and said heartily, "Brother Chu Han, we finally found you. Captain Li wanted to have a chat with you."

Li Yunjian also nodded slightly. "Chu Han, are you interested in talking with me?"

"Okay." Chu Han was also curious about why they were looking for him, so he readily agreed.

The three of them went to a coffee shop in the martial artist leisure area and sat down.

Li Yunjian first signaled the waiter to bring three cups of coffee before looking at Chu Han and saying, "Chu Han, if you hadn't stepped in to rescue my subordinates today, they might have all perished on Black Stone Mountain. I must thank you in person."

Chu Han waved his hand, humbly saying, "Officer Li, you're too kind. I only did what was within my capabilities."

Li Yunjian, however, said seriously, "That's not entirely true. You saved their lives! Mutated Black Stone Scorpions and so many ordinary Black Stone Scorpions are not something an average person can handle. Your strength and courage are truly admirable."

"I watched your spar with Shen Ping from start to finish," Li Yunjian said, recounting the scene. "I'm certain you didn't use any forbidden pills. Your martial arts talent is truly astonishing."

Captain Wang chimed in from the side, "Indeed, Brother Chu Han. I've seen many martial arts prodigies in my years in the military, but someone like you is unheard of. Your potential is simply limitless."

Chu Han was a bit bewildered by their praise. He suspected they weren't just thanking him and likely had an ulterior motive.

After his pleasantries, Li Yunjian got to the point. "Chu Han, we asked you here today not just to thank you, but to invite you to join our army. If you join my unit, we'll definitely treat you as a key recruit and pour all our resources into your development!"

Chu Han was slightly taken aback by Li Yunjian's sudden invitation.

That makes sense now, he thought.

Li Yunjian continued, "Although the Martial Arts Grand Examination is an important path to advancement for many martial artists, it's not the only way."

"Oh? I'd love to hear more."

"By joining our army, you can undertake various missions and gain plenty of practical combat experience. Training through real combat is much faster than in school! Furthermore, our army's cultivation resources are definitely not lacking. You can obtain all sorts of pills and martial skills as long as you perform well!"

"Join the army? I hadn't really considered that before," Chu Han mused.

Li Yunjian picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and smiled. "You don't necessarily have to participate in the Martial Arts Grand Examination to get into a martial arts university. Joining the army is another option."

"Really?" Chu Han's interest was immediately piqued.

Seeing that Chu Han's curiosity was aroused, Li Yunjian smiled slightly. "Once you join the army, you can directly apply to enroll in any major military academy, including Longxia Military Martial University, one of the Federation's four top martial arts universities. It's a premier military and martial arts institution that has cultivated countless outstanding martial arts powerhouses."

"Military Martial University!"

Chu Han couldn't remain calm upon hearing those words and exclaimed aloud.
