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

Chapter 402: Yes or no?

People are much easier to talk to when they are full and satisfied.

While drinking culture is undesirable, it's undeniable that a few drinks can liven up the atmosphere.

"Let's drink to Principal Lin! Thank you for your contributions to Dongguo. We will always remember this kindness. I'll drink this one, you can drink as you like!" The leader, who was wearing a star on his shoulder, downed the drink in one gulp.

Sha.

He hadn't done this at the dinner table in a long time; usually, others would do the work while he did as he pleased.

However, since the person he was toasting was Lin Xiaohe, he was completely willing and convinced of her sincerity!

This woman is awesome!
Lin Xiaohe doesn't drink alcohol, only milk tea and juice. No one present criticized her manners.

After eating a few bites of food, someone offered her a toast.

This time, it was an elderly man with white hair, Old Chen's boss, an academician.

Tears streamed down his face as he shakily raised his glass, speaking from the bottom of his heart: "I won't bother with any more pleasantries. The emergence of the Civilization Trial Grounds has been a fatal, devastating blow to the scientific community of Blue Star. We know full well that with Blue Star's current technology, it would have been impossible to get to where we are today! The one who deserves all of this is you! Our beloved Principal Lin!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back to drink, but Lin Xiaohe stopped him: "The universe is vast, and science has no end. How far Blue Star's technology can go depends on scientists like you. I appreciate your kindness, so please drink as you please."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." He addressed the little girl with polite formalities.

The academician was truly grateful to her.

Human civilization on Earth was almost wiped out, but Lin Xiaohe turned the tide.

The high-ranking leader didn't say anything, he just kept drinking.

The secretary was standing to the side, blinking so hard her eyes almost cramped, but the other party acted as if she didn't see anything.

According to the rules, he shouldn't drink like that. First, it's harmful to his health, and second, given his status, he needs to maintain a dignified image in public.

But the pressure on him was just too much!

It used to be said that the last century was an era of unprecedented upheaval, but no one ever said that this upheaval was so great that it was like putting the entire planet on the gambling table!

Is he under a lot of pressure advocating for the establishment of the first agricultural school in the Blue Star Center? If he fails, he will definitely become a laughing stock.

Being the first leader in the new century to put the country on a state of emergency at its highest level—how much pressure must he have felt? This gamble involves trillions of dollars in economic gains and the fate of the nation for decades to come!
As it turns out, he made the right choice; he didn't trust the wrong person!
In the trial of civilization, the Eastern Kingdom took the lead and gained a huge advantage.

The leader's wife swallowed the advice she was being given, took the wine bottle, and filled the leader's glass.

As her husband's bedmate, she knew all too well how much he tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night. Especially after Ma Liang retrieved the ice with his magic paintbrush, her husband's hair fell out in clumps, and his eyes became bloodshot from exhaustion.

At the time, many people suggested that the government should question Lin Xiaohe and pressure him, but he suppressed all of them.

He firmly believed that if Lin Xiaohe had a way, she wouldn't hesitate to use it. Since she didn't step forward immediately, it was either because she couldn't, or the time wasn't right.

The leader's wife secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, thankful that her husband hadn't done anything wrong, and also thankful that Lin Xiaohe had stood up for her in the time of crisis!

Summoning the Ancestral Dragon with the name "Jiujiu Lao Qin" is an operation that even if everyone racked their brains, they couldn't come up with!

With red eyes, the high-ranking leader solemnly promised, "Principal Lin, fame, wealth, power, and sex—whatever you want, however much you want, just name it! As long as we can provide it, we will not hesitate!"

At the dinner table, everyone's gratitude and exaggerated expressions towards Lin Xiaohe were so sincere and touching.

Lin Xiaohe was extremely satisfied!
Look, this is the attitude leaders should have.

Back then, I made countless contributions to the Interstellar Federation, but the Interstellar Federation only stabbed me in the back.

With this comparison, the difference in quality is immediately apparent!
Sure enough, it's our own people who know proper etiquette. After eating and drinking, the academician, quite drunk, clutched a bottle and wept bitterly: "What a pity, what a pity! We have a treasure trove but don't realize it. If we had awakened the ancestral dragon decades ago, why would we have taken so many detours?! Perhaps we would have already flown out of the solar system, and what would we be afraid of in the trials of civilization!"

Old Chen nodded in agreement.

Absolutely!
If we had known earlier that such a huge treasure was hidden underground, we would have put aside all the protective excavation of cultural relics.

Lin Xiaohe was in a good mood and didn't try to hide anything: "It's useless. Even if you dig all the way to the center of the earth, you won't find that thing. And even if you did find it, you wouldn't be able to activate it."

"Hmm?! Why?" the academician asked humbly.

Lin Xiaohe smiled.

This weapon represents a tentative exploration of the origins of life by the Stardust humans.

However, after it was created, the Stardust humans discovered that only Lord Lin Xiaohe could activate this weapon, and its power depended on the strength of the life essence.

The recharging time is still very long, requiring the collection of sufficient life essence and belief.

After testing it once, the Stardust humans decided that the weapon was not cost-effective and simply buried it on Kyushu.

Over the years, fragmented life forms have been found everywhere on Earth.

This weapon is naturally fully charged.

If Lin Xiaohe could activate the weapon without anyone noticing on the physical Earth, how to activate it in the trial grounds would be a problem.

Later, Lin Xiaohe changed the weapon's password to "[Jiujiu Lao Qin]". While the individual mental strength of the Eastern Kingdom's contestants wasn't strong enough, the collective will of hundreds of millions of people should be able to reach the basic threshold of life's origin and successfully activate the weapon.

The origin of life is a very complex thing. It is related to spiritual power, soul, belief and will, but it is not any of them.

Lin Xiaohe squinted and leaned back in her chair: "Because, back then, you weren't in dire straits."

How can we unite to overcome national crises and fight until our blood is spilled?

Everyone was thoughtful.

Indeed, after too long of peaceful and stable times, who would want to go to war?

Old Chen's eyes gleamed, and he seized the opportunity to ask, "The souls of Zu Long and Qin Jun... do they really exist?"

With thousands of years of history, the Eastern Kingdom, besides the First Emperor, also had Emperor Wu of Han, the Grand General of Heavenly Strategy! And that great army...

Upon realizing this, the others who had come to their senses instantly cleared their eyes and looked at Lin Xiaohe expectantly.

I knock!

With them around, what is there to fear in the testing grounds of civilization?! If aliens come in one ship, we'll wipe them out; if they come in two ships, we'll wipe them both out!
Lin Xiaohe chuckled. These people really know how to take advantage of a situation.

The group, whose average age was over 100, gave ingratiating smiles. "Please, just give me a straight answer."

Lin Xiaohe: "Forget about Zulong. I don't know why, but Zulong and the others entered the trial grounds from the physical Blue Star. As for the rest, it's hard to say."

Everyone's hearts were like those of someone riding an elevator, going up and down, experiencing a mix of joy and sorrow.

The good news is that there might be ancestors like Emperor Wu of Han.

The sad thing is, the First Emperor is no longer here!
Damn it, what happened to the Civilization Trial Grounds being a virtual place?!

Alas, in this trial, the deaths of the contestants were real. Could it be related to this?
Can you see my strong will to survive? Please don't lock me in the dark room!
