The Loan
Just as Luo Zhe and Shi Jiang were marveling at the decisiveness of the Huaxia Military,
suddenly--
"Luo Zhe." A cheerful voice rang out from behind.
Luo Zhe and Shi Jiang turned their heads and saw a tall young man with a face as if carved by an axe and a knife walking over. It was none other than Chu Qiang, the famous figure in the Elite Training Camp!
Seeing this, Shi Jiang smiled at Luo Zhe, raised his glass to Chu Qiang in a gesture of respect, and then went to the side to drink alone.
Luo Zhe thought to himself, "Shi Jiang's guess was really accurate. It hasn't been long since Senior Brother Chu Qiang arrived. But then again, Senior Brother Shi Jiang's strength and reputation are not much inferior to Senior Brother Chu Qiang's. Which force has won him over?"
After Shi Jiang left, only Luo Zhe and Chu Qiang remained standing in the corner.
"Luo Zhe," Chu Qiang glanced at the others in the distance and said in a low voice, "Our Huaxia Military is very interested in you. I wonder if you would be interested in joining the Military?"
"The Military?" Luo Zhe thought to himself, "This senior brother Chu Qiang really is here to recruit people."
"Yes!" Chu Qiang took a sip of his drink and said solemnly, "Don't worry, the Military is never stingy when it comes to talent. Your treatment in the military after graduation is all negotiable! As for the details, we can discuss them later. Moreover, as long as you agree to join, then... during your five years in the Training Camp, the Military will provide you with 5 billion yuan in operating funds every year."
Luo Zhe's heart skipped a beat.
5 billion!
Wow! The Military really has deep pockets.
Normal Fighter are not very efficient at hunting monsters. For example, some ordinary Advanced War General usually find it difficult to successfully hunt down high-level beast generals of the same level! Similarly, a Beginner War God would also find it difficult to successfully hunt down Elementary Lord monster!
Therefore, a Beginner War God is considered quite good if they can earn 5 billion a year. However, the War God ' consumption is frighteningly high, with weapons and Battle Suit being huge expenses, so most War God are actually quite short of money!
In fact, Luo Zhe is also short of money right now. After mastering the third level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, he urgently needs funds to buy the Fourth Layer or even the fifth level manual, but he is poor!
If Luo Feng hadn't hunted down that high-level Beast General Level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf and given him a sip of its broth, he probably wouldn't even have the money to buy a new War Blade, let alone the Fourth Layer the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade manual.
But then Luo Zhe thought again. He had only just entered the Training Camp and had not yet fully demonstrated his advantages. If he joined any faction in such a hurry, others might not take him seriously and might just put him in an insignificant department as a laborer.
It would be better to wait until the end of this month, when he has raised his Combat Power Amplitude to a new level, improved his ranking as much as possible, and fully demonstrated his potential. At that time, many powerful forces will naturally try to win him over with money and privileges.
then--
"Senior brother, I've only just entered the Training Camp and don't plan to join any organization. Let's talk about it in a couple of years," Luo Zhe politely declined.
"Oh?" Chu Qiang looked at Luo Zhe in surprise, nodded, and replied, "Alright, your idea is right. These five years are the most important five years for you to improve your strength. If you have any thoughts about joining the Huaxia Military, just let me know."
... Chu Qiang's initiative was like the gunshots at Lexington and Concord that opened the curtain on the American Revolutionary War. Other senior brothers and sisters also began to extend invitations to Luo Zhe!
Three of the invitations came from two core families of the HR Alliance from abroad, as well as a mercenary group called the ' Flame Legion '.
There are quite a few mercenaries on Earth.
However, most of them are of average strength, but there are some who are extremely powerful!
'Hong' and ' Thor ' are each able to occupy a Base City and have their Two Great Dojos spread all over the world. Their power is comparable to that of a strong country!
They can be considered two great tyrants.
On Earth, there are other ambitious groups who also want to establish their own power and become regional rulers! For example, the ' Flame Legion ' was established by two war War God and is extremely powerful among mercenaries. They have even been invited to help them by several Base City in Africa.
The other three invitations came from within Huaxia Nation. Two were issued by special authorities within Huaxia Nation, and the third was from the Tong Family family, an important member of the HR Underground Alliance in China.
However... Luo Zhe declined all invitations!
The person who extended the invitation on behalf of the Tong Family was named Wei Tong, a student who entered the Elite Training Camp at the beginning of this year, and a genius Fighter from the China region of the Underground Alliance.
"Oh, by the way," Wei Tong said with a hearty smile to Luo Zhe before leaving, "Luo Zhe, Tong Yang asked me to give you his regards."
Tong Yang!
That familiar name—it was Tong Yang who personally led him to the Extreme General Hall in the main city. Similarly, it was because of Tong Yang that Zhuge Tao looked at him differently, which gave Luo Zhe the opportunity to enter the Global Headquarters for special training.
In other words, without Tong Yang's help, Luo Zhe might still be lingering in the Fighter team!
Early the next morning, Luo Zhe dialed a customer manager's number at Universe Bank.
Yesterday, while chatting with Zhao Ruo Shi Jiang, I casually mentioned that he was short of money recently and asked if they had any solutions.
So Shi Jiang smiled and gave him the phone number, saying it was specifically for providing loans to students in the Elite Training Camp.
Luo Zhe was stunned and kept asking questions, so Shi Jiang patiently explained it to him.
Among the trainees in the Elite Training Camp, there are quite a few like Luo Zhe who are unwilling to join a certain faction in the short term. However, without the support of a faction, it is equivalent to having no source of income for the next five years.
Weapons, Battle Suit, and secret manuals are all major money drains; what do you do when you don't have enough funds?
We can't exactly ask Home of Extremes for credit, can we?
Therefore, large, powerful banks like the Universe Bank and the People's Bank of China specifically assigned account managers to provide interest-free loan services to the trainees of the Elite Training Camp. The aim was to recruit these future War God in advance.
You should know that the annual bank statements of a War God- level expert are astronomical figures!
Moreover, given the potential of these future War God, the bank has no concern whatsoever about their ability to repay the loans. Even a Advanced General Level Fighter, barring extremely bad luck, could easily earn five or six hundred million a year!
For elite students like Shi Jiang Chu Qiang, who rank in the top five among more than a hundred students, Universe Bank is even willing to lend tens or hundreds of billions at once!
"Beep-beep-"
"Hello, who is this?" A clear and cheerful voice came from the receiver, instantly making Luo Zhe feel favorably towards it.
"Hello, I'm Luo Zhe, a student in the Elite Training Camp. Are you Manager Wang from Universe Bank?"
Luo Zhe tried his best to keep his voice calm. This was the first time in his life that he had ever tried to borrow money from someone, even if it was from a bank.
"Oh! Hello, Luo Zhe, just call me Wang Lang!" The voice on the phone rose two octaves. "Luo Zhe, are you interested in learning about our bank's interest-free loan service?"
"Yes." Luo Zhe nodded, his rapidly beating heart causing Luo Zhe to breathe quickly. He took a deep breath and said, "Manager Wang, if I want to borrow one billion, what procedures do I need to go through?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of papers being turned over, and then a voice came through again. "Luo Zhe, are you currently in the Elite Training Camp? Actually, the procedures are very simple. You just need to provide the formal contract you signed with the Elite Training Camp and sign the relevant documents with our bank."
