I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 104 If you do this, you will lose me.

Lin Xiaohe blinked and reminded him, "Leader Xie, have you forgotten something?"

Xie Tingfeng hesitated for a moment, then extended his right hand: "Shake hands, and take a picture?"

Lin Xiaohe's lips drooped, and she went straight to the point: "Just one medal as a reward?"

Xie Tingfeng's expression was even more surprised than Lin Xiaohe's: "Isn't that enough? The Star Ring Guardian Medal, that's a second-class medal of the Federation. In the entire Federation, the number of people who receive this medal each year is definitely no more than 10."

Lin Xiaohe's eyes flickered slightly. She was a country bumpkin and thought this medal was similar to those on Earth, where some countries could issue hundreds of them a year.

What's the use of this medal?

Xie Tingfeng: "There is priority in medical care, covering three generations of immediate family members. Civilian rescue boats can be called up three times a year."

Having too many privileges, Xie Tingfeng simply sent the electronic version to Lin Xiaohe.

Lin Xiaohe read it line by line, word by word. Besides the two he had just mentioned, there were many other priorities.

For example, if Lin Xiaohe wants to go to the core star ring, she will have priority in queuing or having her seat reserved when choosing rail transportation and public accommodation facilities.

Once inside the core ring, unlike regular tourists who have to wait through lengthy application processes and background checks, visitors only need to pass a basic security check.

In addition, holders of the Star Ring Guardian Medal have a dedicated liaison officer to assist with privilege-related visits, appointments, and other matters.

After completing the federal awarding of medals and registering their identity information, medal recipients will be invited to join the [Star Ring Guardians Group].

This group is an exclusive community network composed of past medal recipients. There are frequent exchanges and collaborations, and they regularly receive exclusive electronic briefings and analysis reports on various aspects such as the operational status of the ring system, major scientific discoveries, and future development plans.

Lin Xiaohe: "The medals are great, but have you forgotten something very important?"

Xie Tingfeng asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

Lin Xiaohe was heartbroken and deeply disappointed, to the point that she couldn't maintain any semblance of composure: "Star coins! Medical priority is great, but you have to pay for medical care, right? Transportation priority is also great, but it's not free, is it?"

"Without money, these privileges are just a mirage to me, I can't use any of them."

"You only give me honors but not money, which really hurts and disappoints me!"

Xie Tingfeng took a step back and wiped the saliva off his face expressionlessly.

To be honest, people who receive medals are generally not short of money.

Therefore, after awarding the medals, the Federation did not consider monetary rewards at all.

After all, medals represent privilege and transcending social classes, something that no amount of money can buy.

"Captain Lin, please calm down. Regarding your reward, the Federation has already processed it through the fast track, and it's been issued and cannot be changed."

Xie Tingfeng didn't understand Lin Xiaohe's emphasis on star coins: "What you possess is the Star Ring Guardian Medal, which is an unparalleled honor. The candidates who escaped with you only received a mere 10 million star coins each."

Click.

This is the sound of Lin Xiaohe's heart breaking.

A mere 1 million star coins...

Listen to this, is this even human language?
Xie Tingfeng was still there, oblivious to his own misfortune, adding insult to injury: "They only have money, but you have medals!"

Lin Xiaohe wept uncontrollably; who could understand her sorrow? This battle had exhausted all her skill points and all her star coins, yet she only received a medal in return.

Clinging to her last hope, she asked Xie Tingfeng expectantly, "Can the medal be exchanged for money?"

Xie Tingfeng looked surprised and reproachful: "How could you have such a thought?! Give up, the badge is linked to real-name authentication."

Lin Xiaohe burst into tears: "If you do this, you will lose me." Xie Tingfeng, heartless, remained unmoved.

Just then, Melina walked in and greeted Xie Tingfeng with a smile: "Boss, you've come to visit Xiaohe too?"

Xie Tingfeng nodded reservedly.

Following behind Melina, Weasley shouted, "Now that the big shots and the examinees are back, shouldn't we reveal the truth to the public?"

Melina gently patted Weasley on the back and scolded him in a nonchalant tone, "What are you saying, child? The Federation's propaganda department has been working overtime for the past few days. I bet everyone in the Fourth Star Ring knows that it was the federal government that turned the tide and resolved the crisis in the end."

She was clearly scolding her son, but her eyes glanced at Xie Tingfeng: "If we change our tune now, wouldn't that affect the credibility of the Federation?"

Weasley retorted, "What about the big shots? What about the examinees? They've given so much, sacrificed so much, are they just going to remain unsung heroes?"

Xie Tingfeng's lips twitched. Good heavens, this mother and son are putting on a show here, trying to get him hooked.

"We awarded them the Star Ring Protector Medal."

Melina clapped: "Lin Xiaohe and the examinees' actions truly protected our Fourth Star Ring, and they deserve this medal. The government is truly magnanimous!"

She casually asked, "Now that the rewards are given out, what about the compensation?"

"compensation?!"

Melina stated matter-of-factly, "The reason they encountered such great danger in the examination room was entirely due to our Federation's negligence. If the Super Metaphysical Group hadn't left a backdoor, the Megalosaurus wouldn't have been able to attack the StarNet examination room through it."

"In addition to paying the fine, Super Yuan Group also agreed to compensate each candidate with 10 million Star Coins."

Lin Xiaohe's eyes lit up instantly. Look, this is a good public servant of the Federation!
Melina noticed Lin Xiaohe's reaction, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She knew Lin Xiaohe would be satisfied.

Melina: "In addition, our Ministry of Education has decided to award 100 million Star Coins to candidates for their outstanding performance."

Xie Tingfeng's face darkened.

The attack by the Megalodon dealt a heavy blow to the Fourth Star Ring.

In the days to come, they will move important departments from Sea Song Star to another planet.

At the same time, a comprehensive safety inspection of the entire ring system is also required.

Every action requires money!

Although the Federation has controlled public opinion, some large corporations can still hear rumors from various channels, which is extremely detrimental to the economic development of the Fourth Star Ring.

One million star coins per person, that's over 700 million star coins for more than 700 people. That's no small amount.

Melina continued rambling, "Regarding public opinion, our government should also compensate the test takers..."

"Stop talking, 100 million star coins per person. Our fiscal expenditure this year is almost over. If it exceeds this figure, you can argue with the audit bureau yourself. We are not like the military, which has its own way of making money. We are so poor that we have to stretch every penny in half."

Xie Tingfeng fled in panic, fearing that Melina would ask for 10 million.

"Tsk." Melina looked at Lin Xiaohe with a smile and said regretfully, "This is the only number we can manage."

“Yes! Absolutely! Thank you, Mrs. Melina.”

Lin Xiaohe thought Melina was the most beautiful woman in the world, without a doubt!

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lin Xiaohe, Melina revealed the purpose of her visit: "Wan Tianming from the Command Academy wants to see you. Do you want to see him?"

Lin Xiaohe is finally going to live a good life.

An extra chapter every day? Waaaaah, I can't do that...
