One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 78 The Attitude of the Higher-ups, Claim Your Reward!
"It is impossible for our human race to be completely united."

"Conflicts can arise between people for various reasons, let alone between countries."

"Besides this, the entire Abyss world, with its thousands upon thousands of otherworldly civilizations, is also eager to devour our Blue Star civilization alive!"

"The resources of the entire universe are finite. If civilizations want to develop and survive, they can only fight and plunder each other, a life-or-death struggle!"

Old Meng's words.

This made Lin Yi realize for the first time the crisis facing the Great Xia Dynasty and even the entire human race on Blue Star.

Furthermore, they also gained insight into the vision and perspective of this old man, and indeed, the entire upper echelons of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Their level of consciousness has reached the stage of "the survival of civilization".

Although Lin Yi admired him, to be honest, he didn't want to examine everything from such a high level.

The reason for craving power and becoming stronger is simply to have a place in this world.

"Alright, I've digressed. Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Meng Yuanzhou. You can just call me Old Meng."

"All you need to know is that I'm telling you these things today just so you'll know."

"We value talent very much."

"You, Xia Yuyan, Lu Yu, and all the candidates who can enter the fifth round."

"In the future, they will all be able to achieve great things."

"You are the successors who carry on our torch, and you are the hope of Great Xia, and even the entire human race."

"Therefore, we will spare no effort to protect you and help you grow strong!"

"I can see that you are more mature than others, like you have the soul of a decades-old in your 18-year-old body, haha!"

Meng Yuanzhou burst into laughter at the end of his story.

Lin Yi was finally relieved.

If the higher-ups of Great Xia really want to harm me.

To be honest, Lin Yi realized that he didn't have much room to struggle.

He is strong.

But compared to those that have lived for hundreds of years, with their skills, equipment, talents, and martial spirits...

Compared to those who excel in every aspect, he really isn't qualified.

"Alright, enough of the small talk, Lin Yi, I have high hopes for you."

“I know about your family background, and now I know you a little better as a person. I don’t want you to die young at some point in the future.”

"We have learned too many painful lessons."

"Therefore, I must remind you to maintain your good habit of being cautious."

"This world has far more skills, items, terrain effects, spirit crystal spells... than we can even imagine."

"To avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives, what's that saying you young people have again..."

"Oh, right, play it safe and focus on developing your character, don't be reckless!"

"However, you are now the top scorer in this year's national college entrance examination, and there's no way to hide that. You just need to be more careful."

"At other times, I want you to blend in with the world and conceal your brilliance. When you become a war god and this world can no longer do anything to you, you can be as arrogant as you want!"

Lin Yi nodded, humbly accepting the instruction: "I will, Elder Meng."

Seeing Lin Yi's reaction, Meng Yuanzhou was very pleased. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you just reached level 60 in the dungeon, right?"

"Received an invitation to enter the 0th floor of the Abyss?"

Lin Yi nodded.

He was just about to ask about Jiangyuan.

Meng Yuanzhou said, "I'll make this short."

"You should already have a basic understanding of the Abyss."

"The City of Lost Light and the Ruins of Noah that you experienced are both types of Abyss dungeons."

"But these copies are actually just surface copies of the Abyss."

"You can imagine the abyss as an endless deep sea."

"Most Abyss dungeons are like cruise ships floating on the sea."

"And descending into the abyss means that you have officially submerged below the sea level!"

"In the Abyss World, as you move from the surface to the depths, each layer has its own specific Abyss rules, and the difficulty of the dungeons increases with each level."

"Of course, the rewards are even more generous." "The 0th level of the Abyss is the first hurdle you will face on your journey to the deeper levels."

"At the same time, this is your only chance to obtain a high-grade talent before reaching the 20th level of the Abyss!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up: "You mean, the 0th level of the Abyss will reward an extra talent?"

"It could be exclusive equipment, or a permanent buff!"

"In short, the 0th floor of the Abyss is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all professionals!"

"However, the dungeon on the 0th floor of the Abyss is also different."

"Kid, do you know the difference between our top universities and those 211 and 985 super-first-class universities?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "I don't know."

This was actually something Lin Yi had always been curious about.

Everyone instilled in him the idea that he should study hard for the exam and get a good ranking.

Choosing a good university will greatly benefit your future career path!

So what exactly is the difference?

Is it theoretical knowledge?

Lin Yi believes that in this era of catastrophe, although information is valuable, it is by no means something that any individual or organization can firmly hold onto.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Is it a rare resource?

You can also exchange it using Great Xia Merit Points.

Even the best way to earn merit points is not to attend a professional university, but to join the army directly.

Joining the Professionals' Alliance will reward you with a large number of merit points if you perform meritorious service.

Therefore, these top global universities must have something that other organizations don't!
"It's a copy."

Meng Yuanzhou provided the answer.

"To be precise, it's the entry qualification for the instance."

"You'll understand these things once you get to university, so I won't go into detail."

"I'll just say one thing."

"That is the top three universities in the world, which possess the most special dungeon of the Abyss Level 0."

"If you accept the invitation to the 0th level of the Abyss now, you will only enter the most ordinary and easiest level of the Abyss 0th level, which is the same for the entire Blue Star."

"The maximum reward you can obtain will only be A-level."

"The top universities around the world possess special Abyss Level 0 dungeons with rewards capped at SSS rank!"

Lin Yi finally understood.

In this way, the advantages of top universities compared to other non-governmental organizations become apparent!

"You shouldn't have to worry about the admission anymore."

"Number one in the whole country!"

"And he got full marks in all five rounds, which is the highest score ever. I haven't seen that in years."

"You should be choosing the school, not the other way around!"

"Alright, Li Qianye and the others should be busy with the national results announcement right now. It should be announced nationwide in about an hour. Go and ask him for the reward for this year's top scorer."

……

Lin Yi thanked Meng Yuanzhou, left the room, and returned the way he came.

When they found Li Qianye.

Lin Yi discovered that the chief examiner's attitude towards him had completely changed.

His words even carried a hint of respect.

"Come and collect your reward."

"Sit down, come, sit here!"

"Old Jiang, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pour tea for our national champion! Use the top-grade Maojian I bought two years ago!"

Lin Yi was warmly received by Li Qianye.

Upon hearing the name "Preserved Maojian Tea," Lin Yi noticed a change in the expressions of Li Qianye's men towards him.
