Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 92 How about adding some more?

Two hours later.

"Haha, Inspector Jiang, you deserve the most credit for repelling the beast tide this time!"

Li Dawei couldn't hide his joy at all; his mouth was practically stretched to his ears.

As the commander-in-chief of the war zone, Li Dawei was certainly not a man without cunning.

He wouldn't be able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, and ordinary things would definitely not make him this happy.

Jiang Lan didn't seem to be seeking credit; she simply smiled faintly.

"It's nothing, it's just what I should do."

Since he's come here to stop the beast tide, he'll definitely have to contribute.

Moreover, if we're talking about who benefited the most from this beast tide, it's Jiang Lan.

"Don't say that," Li Dawei quickly said. "If it weren't for you, we would have suffered heavy casualties this time."

Hearing this, Jiang Lan looked at Li Dawei and asked:

"How many casualties were there this time?"

"Under normal circumstances, dealing with a level one beast tide would result in tens of thousands of deaths, which would be considered a small number," Li Dawei said excitedly. "But this time, our entire Southeast Military Region suffered zero deaths! Only two people sustained minor injuries, and not from fighting the monsters, but from spraining their ankles on the battlefield because they weren't paying attention."

Jiang Lan couldn't help but chuckle, "That's quite a coincidence, the two of you twisted your ankles at the same time."

"Where?" Li Dawei couldn't help but smile. "One of my brothers twisted his ankle, and the other was pushed by him."

Jiang Lan: "..."

The relationship hurt two people, and it hurts this much.

Li Dawei laughed heartily.

"At the victory celebration banquet later, Inspector Jiang must grace us with his presence!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan considered refusing.

After all, whether or not you attend the victory celebration banquet is irrelevant.

He'd be better off spending that time with Yao Rao.

But seemingly sensing that Jiang Lan wanted to refuse, Li Dawei quickly said:

"Inspector Jiang, you single-handedly stopped the beast tide this time, and the soldiers admire you greatly. Saying a few words to them later will be a great encouragement. Besides, your medal awarding ceremony hasn't even taken place yet."

Seeing that Li Dawei had already gone this far, Jiang Lan felt that it would be inappropriate to refuse again.

However, Jiang Lan soon noticed the second half of Li Dawei's words.

"An award ceremony? What does that mean?"

No one had told him about this before.

Li Dawei slapped his forehead.

"Look, this happened so suddenly, I forgot to tell you something so important."

Li Dawei continued, "Although you weren't with the military before, according to convention, you'll be awarded the rank of 'Major General' for assisting in repelling the beast tide. While it doesn't grant you much real power, having this title will reduce a lot of trouble when dealing with the military in the future."

Jiang Lan smiled slightly. Although it didn't have any practical use, having a military rank seemed pretty good.

But at this moment, Li Dawei's attitude suddenly changed.

"What I just mentioned was the treatment given to War God level experts who helped repel the beast tide. As an expert who surpasses War God level, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Therefore, I need to consult with my superiors regarding the specific treatment I would like to give you."

Li Dawei was already the top leader of the Southeast Military Region, so it was easy to imagine that the person he was consulting was definitely not a simple person.

But Jiang Lan didn't seem to care much.

So what if someone's identity is complicated?

As the number one person on Earth today, Hong is now able to completely disregard any power on Earth. No organization dares to clash with Hong.

As for Jiang Lan, although he is not as strong as Hong and Thor, he is only weaker than the two of them. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he can walk sideways on the entire earth.

Therefore, military rank is really irrelevant to Jiang Lan.

"No need to ask for instructions, just follow the previous rules."

"That won't do. You played a crucial role in repelling the beast tide. It would be unfair to you to just give me the rank of Major General."

"Really, there's no need..." Jiang Lan said, "Military rank doesn't mean anything to me."

"No way!" Li Dawei said firmly.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Lan stopped making excuses; after all, it wasn't him who was in trouble.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Li Dawei smiled and then looked outside.

Outside the war base, countless soldiers were collecting the corpses of the monsters, cutting off the valuable materials from the dead monsters one by one. As for the remaining corpses, those with edible value were put in one pile, and those without edible value were put in another pile, with the main principle being to avoid extravagance and waste.

He turned to Jiang Lan and said:

"Inspector Jiang, in principle, the materials from these monsters should all belong to you personally. But we really can't afford that much money, so I've come up with three solutions..."

"No need." Jiang Lan waved his hand. "And forget about any plans or anything. I came here to help out, not to make a fortune from this beast tide."

Jiang Lan was not saying this because he was generous.

Rather, the wealth on Earth holds no appeal for Jiang Lan at this stage.

No matter how much money he has, it's just a string of cold numbers to him.

"How can that be?"

Li Dawei was taken aback by Jiang Lan's generosity. "Not paying is absolutely unacceptable. Why don't you listen to our proposal first, Inspector Jiang?"

"Really, there's no need." Jiang Lan thought for a moment. "If you really want to give me something, just transfer 50 billion Chinese yuan into my account. As for the rest, forget it."

The reason it was this number was simply because Jiang Lan mentioned it casually.

Five hundred billion seems like a lot, but in reality, it's only the value of materials from three or four high-level lords.

Even for a more valuable high-ranking lord, the price could reach 50 billion.

Jiang Lan just killed a total of thirteen lord-level monsters. Apart from two mid-level lords, the other eleven were all high-level lords.

Even after subtracting the two ends from Jiang Lan's sacrifice, there are still nine left.

Moreover, besides the lord monsters, countless other monsters, such as beast generals and beast soldiers, also perished.

Therefore, Jiang Lan's demand for 50 billion is not much different from doing charity.

Li Dawei was stunned when he heard the conditions Jiang Lan offered.

He never expected that Jiang Lan would only want this much?

The three proposals he mentioned would all be worth trillions of yuan if converted to Chinese currency.

This person is... such a kind philanthropist!

For a moment, Li Dawei even felt a little embarrassed.

"Um...isn't this a bit too little? How about...we add some more?"

"Need not."

"Please add some, please add some, otherwise I'll feel really bad about it."
