"More than three million!"
Chu Han was instantly overjoyed, his face wreathed in smiles.
He had never seen so much money in his entire life.
The same had been true in his previous life.
With this money, he could purchase some new equipment.
More importantly, he could buy his father more effective medicine!
"I choose to trade!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Han directly chose to trade. His bracelet immediately displayed a deposit of 3.795 million Federal currency in his account.
Adding the original 250,000, his savings instantly surpassed four million.
"Warriors really do make the most money!"
Chu Han was extremely excited.
He then asked, "Manager Du, does the base's mall have any medicine capable of treating severe injuries in warriors?"
He had also looked into medicine for his father, but as a student, the information he could access was extremely limited, and most of it was not genuine.
Hearing this, Du Kun smiled. "Of course. Mr. Chu, may I ask what kind of injury the person you want to treat suffered, and how long ago?"
"He was poisoned by a Cave Demon Spider. Although the poison has been cleared, it left behind multiple hidden injuries. His internal organs are in terrible condition, and it's been twelve years. Right now, he can only rely on basic treatment fluid to delay the illness."
Chu Han explained his father's condition.
Du Kun's brows furrowed slightly as he slowly said, "To recover completely, or even regain a warrior's strength, you would need an A-rank Nirvana Pill, a seventh-tier Fruit of Life, or Water of Life. Each of these treasures is worth more than several billion Federal currency! I'm afraid..."
"I can't afford any of those. Is there anything cheaper? Something that can stop the injuries from worsening or ease the patient's suffering?"
Chu Han only had so much money. The several methods Du Kun had recommended were still impractical for him at present.
All he wanted was some way to temporarily alleviate his father's condition. The rest could be handled little by little.
Du Kun pondered briefly before saying, "There is also the Life No. 1 Gene Potion. It was developed in recent years specifically to repair human damage and treat various illnesses. After being taken, it reprograms the body's genes and repairs bodily damage."
"Oh?" Chu Han's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Can it completely cure the kind of condition I described?"
Du Kun shook his head slightly. "Although this potion can repair damaged flesh, it has certain limitations. The person you mentioned will most likely have the illnesses in his body eliminated after taking it, allowing his body to recover to a complete state. However, the Elemental Power he lost due to his previous injuries and illness cannot be replenished."
"Moreover, after treatment, his physical condition may be even weaker than that of an ordinary person. He'll only be able to perform simple basic activities and won't be capable of physical labor. Fortunately, he'll be able to care for himself and won't need to continue taking those treatment fluids. That alone should lessen the burden considerably."
"Mm, that's not bad."
Chu Han nodded. He could absolutely accept the condition Du Kun had described!
He then asked, "Manager Du, how much does one bottle of this Life No. 1 Gene Potion cost?"
"The unified Federal price is five million per dose," Du Kun replied.
"Five million? I'm still a little short."
Chu Han had only a little over four million on him, leaving a considerable gap.
Hearing this, Du Kun smiled. "Mr. Chu, you're a high-quality customer I've personally identified. I can make the decision to sell it to you at thirty percent off!"
"Really? Then I'm sorry for the trouble, Manager Du."
"It's my honor to be able to help you, Mr. Chu."
Du Kun had long since determined in his heart that Chu Han's future was limitless. Offering him this convenience now was absolutely a worthwhile investment.
Moreover, a transaction manager of his rank had plenty of authorization to offer discounts to promising customers.
Chu Han paid 3.5 million Federal currency. Before long, Du Kun personally returned with a bottle of Life No. 1 Gene Potion and handed it to him.
Chu Han carefully accepted the potion and examined the tiny bottle in his hand, as if he could already see the scene of his father recovering and standing on his own.
After thanking Du Kun, he hurried out of the trading center, preparing to return home and treat his father.
But when he reached the entrance of the trading center, a booming voice suddenly rang out.
"Brother Chu Han!"
He turned toward the voice and saw Captain Wang of the military greeting him.
Standing beside Captain Wang was another person—the military officer who had been with the principal. It was Captain Li!
"Officer Li, Captain Wang." Chu Han smiled and greeted them.
Captain Wang stepped forward, patted Chu Han on the shoulder, and laughed heartily. "Brother Chu Han, we finally found you. Our Captain Li has been wanting to talk with you."
Li Yunjian also nodded slightly. "Chu Han, would you be interested in having a chat with me?"
"Sure." Chu Han was curious about why the two of them were looking for him, so he agreed at once.
The three of them went to a café in the warriors' leisure district and sat down.
Li Yunjian first waved for the waiter to bring three cups of coffee. Only then did he look at Chu Han and say, "Chu Han, if you hadn't come to rescue my men today, they probably would have been lost on Black Stone Mountain. I have to thank you in person."
Chu Han waved his hand and said modestly, "Officer Li, you're flattering me. I only did what I could."
Li Yunjian, however, said solemnly, "You can't put it that way. You saved their lives! The Mutated Black Stone Scorpion and all those ordinary Black Stone Scorpions weren't something just anyone could deal with. That strength and courage of yours are truly admirable."
Li Yunjian then brought up the scene of his battle with Shen Ping. "I watched your entire spar with Shen Ping as well. I'm certain you didn't use any banned drugs. Your martial arts talent is truly astonishing."
Captain Wang chimed in from the side. "That's right, Brother Chu Han. I've spent many years in the military and have seen plenty of martial arts geniuses, but someone like you is truly unheard of. Your potential is simply boundless."
After being showered with praise by the two men, Chu Han was somewhat confused. They clearly weren't saying all this merely to thank him. They probably had some ulterior purpose.
Once Li Yunjian finished his pleasantries, he got to the point. "Chu Han, apart from thanking you, I actually wanted to invite you to join our military. If you join my unit, we'll definitely treat you as a key candidate for cultivation and pour all our resources into developing you!"
Chu Han was slightly stunned. He had not expected Li Yunjian to suddenly extend such an invitation.
If that was the case, everything made sense.
Li Yunjian continued, "Although the Martial Arts Grand Examination is an important path for warriors to advance in the eyes of many people, it isn't actually the only path."
"Oh? I'd be glad to hear more."
"After joining our military, you can carry out all kinds of missions and gain plenty of opportunities for actual combat. Tempering yourself in real battles will improve you much faster than training at school! Besides, our military certainly won't lack cultivation resources. All kinds of pills and martial techniques can be obtained as long as you perform well!"
"Join the military? I really hadn't considered that before." Chu Han fell into thought.
Li Yunjian lifted his coffee cup, took a small sip, and said with a smile, "You don't necessarily have to take the Martial Arts Grand Examination to enter a Martial Arts University. Joining the military works too."
"Really?" Chu Han immediately became interested.
Seeing that Chu Han's curiosity had been piqued, Li Yunjian smiled and said, "As long as you join the military, you can directly apply for admission to the various military academies, including Longxia Military Martial University, one of the Federation's four great Martial Arts Universities. It's one of the very top military academies and Martial Arts Universities, and it has produced countless outstanding martial arts experts."
"Military Martial University!"
Upon hearing those words, Chu Han could no longer remain calm and cried out in surprise.
