For them, it's an easy thing to grab some benefits.
These are things that people don't usually talk about openly.
Song Yuanlang narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the Armament Camp commander as well.
The other side remained completely calm.
The Armament Camp commander sneered and retorted, "Our Armament Camp just acquired a batch of Tracking Inscription this year and developed quite a few new military weapons. This money all came from bonuses awarded by higher-ups. What's wrong with that? You've been doing too many petty thefts, so now you think everyone else is dirty, huh?"
These words immediately silenced everyone.
The Armament Camp has indeed been making headlines lately because they somehow acquired a batch of Tracking Inscription and developed a number of highly lethal missile weapons.
The host on stage began ringing the bell. "Two hundred and thirty million once."
"Two hundred and thirty million twice."
Before the third bid, the host glanced around the room and announced, "If no one else bids, our final item for this round will go to VIP number eight in the first row."
The price was beyond everyone's budget, and no one raised their bid for a long time.
The host, Xiao Hui, smiled slightly and rang the bell. "Two hundred and thirty million three times! Congratulations to VIP number eight in the first row for successfully bidding on this final item!"
The auction has now officially concluded.
Song Yuanlang stood up with a cold face, glanced at the Armament Camp captain, and quickly turned and left.
The captains of the other Federation Branch Bureau also stood up and left the venue.
The tense atmosphere eased slightly after all the important figures left.
"My God, it actually sold for a staggering two hundred million! This has truly broken the Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction record."
"Aren't you all curious about which Myriad Treasures Pavilion managed to snatch so many treasures from this time?"
"Probably the richest person in some star system, or some big shot in the Federation Bureau?"
Amidst the murmurs and gossip, Xu Jintang and his companions discreetly left the private room.
All proceeds from the sale of items in this auction, after deducting handling fees, will be transferred to Xu Jintang and his group's accounts the following day.
Xu Jintang earned the most.
After leaving Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Xu Jintang and his group went to the members' private room at the Fragrant Aroma Pavilion.
"Apart from these few dishes, bring us everything on the menu!" Song Tianqi heartily, slapping the table.
Upon hearing this, the waiter's smile immediately brightened. "Alright, it'll be ready for you right away."
At the same time, a related trending topic appeared on the Star Network forum: [ Myriad Treasures Pavilion Auction's closing item fetches a record-breaking 200 million yuan]
[My God, two hundred million? This must be the highest amount Myriad Treasures Pavilion has ever spent.]
[It's good to be rich. But I'm more curious about who owns this final item. Why would someone put such a treasure up for auction instead of keeping it for themselves?]
[It's possible that their cultivation level has already reached the pinnacle, and they don't need this Five Skandhas Spirit Fruit at all.]
The truth is that Xu Jintang already possesses the dragon bone and blood energy of the Ice Soul Dragon, and her mental power enhancement has reached its peak.
Instead of keeping the Five Skandhas Spirit Fruit, it would be better to exchange it for other spiritual herbs that can effectively enhance ice-type abilities, which would benefit her more.
One afternoon, Xu Jintang and the other four spent their time in the private room eating and drinking to their hearts' content.
The final cost was only 100,000 Star Coins.
Time flies.
My second year at military academy proceeded smoothly, with daily routines consisting mainly of classes and rigorous training, making for a very fulfilling and busy life.
Before we knew it, the semester was coming to an end.
"That's right, the warm-up phase for the Military Academy League has already begun." Zhuang Silin said with her hands behind her back and a serious expression.
Chapter 197
"So far, the number of military academies that have registered for the next league has reached over three hundred. Compared to the last league, the competition this time will obviously be much fiercer. For us, retaining the honor of first place will be even more difficult."
"Therefore, starting today, your training schedule will be doubled."
Xu Jintang and the others became serious, stood at attention, and answered in unison, "Yes, sir!"
Outside the Federation General Bureau.
Jing Hongyi stood with his hands behind his back, his expression somewhat indifferent.
Then someone came to report, " Commander Jing, the Military Academy League has already started its preliminary activities. This year, it is estimated that more than 300 military academies will sign up to participate."
Turning around, Jing Hongyi's face was now adorned with a familiar, warm smile. "Alright, spread the word. Make sure all bureaus cooperate fully to ensure the smooth running of the Military Academy League. Furthermore, considering the high enthusiasm of many newly established military academies for the league, we can relax the policy this year, allowing military academies established within the last two years to register and participate."
The subordinate immediately clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "Yes!"
After his subordinate turned and walked away, Jing Hongyi's smile gradually disappeared, leaving only indifference in his eyes.
He raised his hand to gaze at the distant scenery, a slight smile curving his downturned lips.
This year's Military Academy League is expected to be very exciting.
As soon as the news broke that the Military Academy League had lowered its registration requirements, hundreds more military academies immediately signed up.
This has sparked heated discussions online.
[The policies are so relaxed this year? Even newly established military academies can participate.]
[More than 400 military academies have already registered, so this year's league is sure to be even more competitive.]
[Oh, this is going to be interesting.]
Do you think the top five military academies can hold onto their positions this year? There are over four hundred military academies participating!
[The five major military academies still have considerable resources; they've probably all been secretly training their own troops.]
At the same time, Leikedasi's senior management also held an emergency meeting.
Miao Mingzhi sat at the head of the conference table with a solemn expression.
She rested her arm on the edge of the table, her tone serious. "The relaxation of the competition policy this year was quite sudden. I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking. Anyway, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."
"Principal, there's something..." one of the leaders suddenly hesitated before speaking, "Some time ago, someone from the Federation Bureau came to see me, basically asking if I wanted to switch jobs to the Federation Bureau. I refused, but this whole thing feels really strange."
Miao Mingzhi looked over and frowned slightly. "You want to be recruited by the Federation Bureau?"
"Hmm, logically speaking, if the Federation Bureau is short of talent, it shouldn't be trying to poach people from our military academy. I find it quite strange."
Miao Mingzhi pursed her lips and fell into deep thought.
In recent years, the five major military academies have developed rapidly, and the number of teachers and students who have graduated from the military academies is very large, basically occupying most of the positions in the Federation agencies.
As a result, the reputation of the five major military academies has begun to subtly overshadow the Federation General Bureau.
Everyone knows this is a secret, but it's not something we usually bring up openly.
But it's quite unusual for the Federation Bureau to suddenly poach their staff.
"Let's prepare for the pre-match activities for the Military Academy League first, and discuss other matters later," Miao Mingzhi said.
The other leaders exchanged glances, then nodded. "Okay."
Inside the villa dormitory.
After Xu Jintang woke up, he received a message from Zhuang Silin: [ Yu Wanyao and the others are going to participate in a league exhibition match this afternoon. The five of you should go too, so you can see the strength of the other military academy's regular team members.]
Xu Jintang: [OK.]
After getting up, Xu Jintang knocked on each door.
Song Tianqi and Xue Zhongqi had clearly stayed up late again last night. When they came downstairs, they both had dark circles under their eyes, yawning as they walked to the sofa in the living room and collapsed.
"I'm so sleepy. I told you to go to bed early last night, but you insisted on making me play games," Xue Zhongqi complained, rubbing his temples with a headache.
Song Tianqi retorted defiantly, "If you didn't want to play, I didn't hold a knife to your throat and force you to play with me. Now you're blaming me."
"What are you two arguing about so early in the morning?" Yan Yuting walked downstairs with an impatient look on her face, her morning grumpiness was quite severe.
The two, who had been arguing, immediately shut up, turned their heads away, and refused to look at each other.
A little while later, Jiang Shiyi and Xu Jintang walked downstairs one after the other.
"Let's go." Xu Jintang gave the order, and everyone immediately got up to set off.
Half an hour later, Xu Jintang and his group of five disembarked from the interstellar levitation train and arrived at the Interstellar Plaza.
Interstellar Plaza is located in the northwestern central region of the Federation. Although commercial development is not extensive here, as the political and economic center of the Federation, it has long been a famous landmark and tourist attraction, attracting visitors from other star systems from time to time.
After the pre-event activities began, the entire Interstellar Plaza scenic area was temporarily closed and converted into a pre-event venue for the Military Academy League.
"My God, is this a big deal?" Song Tianqi exclaimed as soon as he got out of the car.
Xu Jintang looked up at the suspended sphere building located directly in front of him.
The entire spherical building completely covers the Interstellar Plaza, and its surface is made of diamond-shaped glass that refracts colorful halos under the light.
Supporting the spherical structure below is a pillar shaped like a tree trunk, made entirely of silver metal, which reportedly cost at least tens of millions.
"Which military academy are you from?" A staff member immediately came over to greet you.
Xu Jintang announced Leikedasi's name and added, "We are the reserve team."
The staff member smiled and gestured for you to proceed, "This way, please, I'll take you to the viewing area."
Upon arriving at the tree trunk support, we saw a staff member press a button.
A long ladder immediately extends from the top of the spherical building, and the staff members are the first to step up the stairs. "Please follow me, everyone."
There were more than eighty steps, and it took Xu Jintang and his group of five quite a while to reach the top.
Upon entering the spherical building, a faint fragrance wafts through the air.
The entire circular hall was filled with all sorts of unusual and exotic plants, and floating cosmic lounge chairs were placed around it, creating a relatively quiet atmosphere.
