Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 156 Merit System Activated, a Whole Box of High-Level Crystals
Not long after, Liu Qiying returned.

He pushed open the door to Lin Yi's office, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Principal, the document has been faxed to the Research Institute, and we have now obtained access to the Merit System."

“Military cadets and members of the Yuanwu Army only need to enter their identification code to log in to the comprehensive merit management platform.”

Lin Yi finished signing a document, looked up at Liu Qiying, and said, "Not bad efficiency."

"There's one more thing."

Liu Qiying continued, "The merit system has evaluated the units that have been connected. Our military academy's annual merit distribution quota is currently set at 15 billion, while Yuanwu Army's merit distribution quota is 87 billion."

"The research institute relayed that this figure is a dynamic indicator derived from a comprehensive access to various data from the merit system departments and inventory data, and it is adjusted annually."

"The merit approval of each access unit is carried out automatically by the system. Currently, only you have the authority to manually intervene in Yuanwu Army and Dongfeng Military Academy."

Lin Yi nodded.

He was not surprised that he had the authority to manually intervene in the allocation. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Have the technicians add a shortcut to the comprehensive merit management platform on our website."

"At the same time, we will issue a notice on both the military academy website and the Yuanwu Army website, informing everyone that we have become a pilot unit for the comprehensive merit management system, and we will also include the operation manual at the end of the notice."

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."

Just as Liu Qiying was about to turn around, he saw Lin Yi raise his hand to signal him to wait a moment.

"and many more."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the cabinet door behind his office opened silently and automatically.

A large suitcase floated slowly to Liu Qiying's front.

At the same time, the drawer of his desk to his right popped open silently, and a large cookie box flew out.

Liu Qiying instinctively reached out and caught it, only to feel a sudden weight in her hand.

"Personally, I will hand over these captured crystals to exchange for merit medals." Lin Yi's voice remained calm. "These things are quite important, so I'll have to trouble you to make a trip and hand them over to the Equipment and Logistics Department."

"Crystals? These are all?"

Liu Qiying was taken aback upon hearing this and subconsciously asked.

“Yes, these are all rare stardust-grade crystals.” Lin Yi pointed to the cookie box. “The cookie box contains gold-veined blue and green crystals.”

"The boxes are full of high-grade blue-green and gold-patterned white spirit crystals. As for the ordinary crystals I usually plunder, your little flying ball can't hold that many, so we'll talk about them later."

Liu Qiying was extremely shocked; this place was full of high-grade crystals?
He subconsciously swallowed, and suddenly felt the weight in his hands become incredibly heavy.

Now that the apocalypse has been underway for some time, in addition to the military, many Source Warriors who have not yet entered the system have emerged in the civilian population.

In particular, many people from ordinary families sold the crystals they obtained after killing the Abyss Beasts, which they didn't need, in exchange for valuable items like gold.

Money was not accepted, but because of optimistic expectations for the future, gold basically became the hard currency for private transactions in various settlements.

Of course, there is an even harder form, which is the various levels of source energy crystals, which have basically become the currency among source warriors.

As a perfected Origin Warrior, Liu Qiying naturally participated in some private transactions, buying crystals and other basic guiding techniques for her family.

But as for how much Principal Lin's crystals are worth, sorry, he couldn't estimate it.

Because this level of product simply doesn't exist on the market.

Liu Qiying held the two items carefully, as if she were holding the weight of the entire world.

All he knew was that if these things were lost, he couldn't afford to pay for them even if he sold himself.

But then he thought again, he was riding the little flying ball that Principal Lin had given him, so what was there to be afraid of?
Lin Yi ignored Liu Qiying's thoughts and continued, "When you hand these things over to Minister Wang of the Equipment Department, tell him—" Lin Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "I hope that, apart from equipment and blueprints, the remaining crystals can be made public on the merit system for everyone to exchange. Although not many people can afford to exchange them for now, this will be an incentive for everyone."

Can they all be redeemed?
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiying perked up and said, "Yes, I will definitely convey the message."

Then, carrying the box in one hand and the biscuit box in the other, he carefully retreated.

Shortly after Liu Qiying left, Nie Chang returned, bringing with him a pile of documents and pictures.

He handed the documents to Lin Yi, his expression grave.

"Chief of Staff Zhou Donglai asked me to make sure to tell you that you must be careful in everything you do."

Nie Chang's voice was filled with obvious worry.

Lin Yi nodded and took the documents. "Don't worry, when would I do something I'm not sure about?"

As he spoke, two gold-patterned blue crystals flew out of the drawer, tracing graceful arcs in the air before landing steadily in front of Nie Chang.

"Old Nie, keep these two crystals," Lin Yi said. "Find a place to deploy the shield. As for the Guardians, you'll be in charge of them. Unless there are special circumstances, the Guardians will be responsible for guarding the military academy."

Nie Chang took the crystal and looked at it; his pupils contracted slightly.

The shield is alright, but the Vigilant is equivalent to Stardust Tier 7!
Suppressing his shock, Nie Chang nodded in agreement: "Understood."

He roughly guessed what Lin Yi meant. This principal obviously wouldn't stay at the military academy for long, as Liu Yuan was the only combat-type Stardust rank in the academy.

Although he already felt it was very strong, the principal clearly thought that this defensive force was somewhat weak, after all, this place was also the headquarters of the Yuanwu Army.

"It's good to have someone in charge."

With that thought in mind, Nie Chang took the crystal, turned around, and went out to set it up.

After Nie Chang left, Lin Yi picked up the pile of documents and carefully examined them one by one.

The only sounds in the office were the rustling of papers and the occasional thoughtful tapping of Lin Yi on the desk.

More than an hour later, Lin Yi put away all the other documents, leaving only one on the table.

The image depicts a ferocious giant elephant with tusks that point upwards like crescent moons, its skin displaying an unnatural dark purple hue, and a faint black mist swirling around it. Even from just a picture, one can sense the violent aura it exudes.

According to the data, this is a Star Core-level early-stage elite Abyss Beast with just over one million source energy points, and its activity range is in the territory of the giant Abyss Beast Nest in the northwest.

"Rules for the elephant/defense category"

Lin Yi's gaze lingered on the picture, lost in thought.

at the same time.

Nie Chang returned to his office and carefully placed the two crystals on the table.

The blue crystal with gold veins shimmered with a captivating luster under the light.

"A Stardust Tier 7 Vigilant".

He murmured to himself, his fingers gently touching the surface of the crystal.

Nie Chang knew all too well what this meant.

In the current Origin Warrior system, Stardust Rank 7 is already a top-tier existence. Apart from Lin Yi, probably no one in the entire military academy is a match for this Vigilant.

Lin Yi entrusted him with such an important defensive force, and this trust made him feel that the burden on his shoulders had become even heavier.

　I'll still post 2 words a day. I'll post one chapter first. I feel the other two chapters aren't quite right, so I'll rewrite them and post them around 3 PM. I'll add two more chapters before 10 PM tonight.
