Chapter 100 - Awarding of Honors



Chapter 100 Awarding of Honors

Beep-beep-beep.

The beep of the communicator sounded, echoing in Chang Xi’s ears. Her heart seemed to be on tenterhooks. She was afraid, afraid that Lin Feng would reject her, or that Lin Feng would ignore it like everyone else.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

When the voice on the communicator disappeared, Chang Xi was stunned. No one picked up? Was he deliberately not answering, or was there something wrong?

Chang Xi was not willing to give up, so she dialed the communicator again.

About a dozen seconds later, Chang Xi put down the communicator. No one had picked up still. With a lost look, she muttered softly, “Even you aren’t willing to help Yu Shan?” Even though Chang Xi was very disappointed, she still held on to a trace of hope. Lin Feng had not accepted the call, but she did not give up. Instead, she composed a message and sent it directly.

The content of the message was about what had happened to Yu Shan recently. She asked Lin Feng for help. Even if Lin Feng did not answer the call, he should be able to see the message, right?

This was Chang Xi’s only hope.

After Chang Xi sent the message, she gently put down her communicator. Looking at Yu Shan’s sleeping face, she felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart. She really hoped that Yu Shan would still be the martial artist who would never back down when facing dire beasts, and could risk everything to protect ordinary people.

In Chang Xi’s heart, Yu Shan was her hero!

...

In the City Conference Hall of Dragonlith City, eight inhuman experts, as well as the upper echelons of the City Council and the Department of Armed Forces were all gathered. There were also reporters from the Dragonlith City Television Station below.

The reason why it was so lively was that the Chief Commander of Dragon Mountain Base, Long Duo, was awarding a shining gold medal to Lin Feng. This was the Hero of Humanity Medal, one of the three highest medals in human society!

Lin Feng received the medal from Long Duo with a solemn expression, and it was pinned on his chest. From then on, there was another wielder of the Hero of Humanity Medal.

“Congratulations, congratulations. That’s the Hero of Humanity Medal. I’ll be content if I can obtain it in this lifetime.” “Haha, you, getting a medal? You’re lucky to survive this time. If not for Brother Lin Feng, we wouldn’t be alive now.”

“Naturally, only heroes of humanity are worthy of the Hero of Humanity Medal. I’m completely convinced about Brother Lin Feng deserving this medal!”

The ones who spoke were a few inhuman experts. During this period of time, they had all heard the news that Lin Feng had joined the academic faction. He also belonged to the Myriad Academy like them. Naturally, they felt closer to Lin Feng.

Thus, they called him brother and were all sincerely happy for Lin Feng for obtaining the Hero of Humanity Medal.

The award ceremony was very solemn and complicated. It took about three or four hours to end. Lin Feng did not like the hassle initially, but he had to “cooperate”. After all, Lin Feng had saved Dragonlith City and obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal. Dragonlith City naturally would not let this opportunity for publicity slip by.

Recently, Dragonlith City had slowly stabilized. There were no more incidents with the parasitic Screwworms. Moreover, good news kept coming from the research institute. It was said that they had already developed the first batch of devices to detect the parasitic seeds.

Even the drugs to eliminate the Screwworm parasitic seeds would be developed very soon. Then, the martial law in Dragonlith City would be lifted, and Lin Feng wouldn’t have to stay in Dragonlith City anymore. “Lin Feng, congratulations on becoming a hero of humanity! Moreover, your application to join the academic faction has been issued. This is your identity card. The higher-ups have given you an extremely high evaluation, and there’s also a reward of 1,000 merit value. Tsk tsk, this is a huge sum. Even I’m very envious.”

Long Duo called out to Lin Feng and gave him a new smart identity card. Moreover, Lin Feng’s information was already bound to it.

“What is merit value?”

“Merit value isn’t merit points. In fact, merit value is also derived from merit points. To put it simply, merit value is the currency used by martial artists who broke the genetic lock to purchase goods in their respective factions. They’re like the points used by the Myriad Academy, except they have broader uses. Not only can it be used to purchase things in the shop of the academic faction, it can also purchase things in the shops of other factions. These are all settled using merit value.”

Hearing Long Duo’s explanation, Lin Feng was very surprised. Weren’t the five major factions competing with each other? How could merit value be used to buy things from all the factions?

Seemingly aware of Lin Feng’s confusion, Long Duo explained, “Lin Feng, what do you think merit value is? The so-called merit value is extremely difficult to obtain. Basically, only inhuman experts who have broken the genetic lock and made significant contributions to humanity can obtain merit value. For example, I’ve guarded the Dragon Mountain Base for decades, but I can only receive 10 merit value per year, and that is because I’m the person in charge of the Dragon Mountain Base. Other ordinary inhuman experts would get even less.

“Of course, there are also some scientific researchers and other ordinary people. If it’s ascertained that they have made a major contribution to humanity, they will also be able to obtain a certain amount of merit value. Although merit value can’t be directly converted into money, it can be used to purchase many precious things. Most of the things in the five major factions can be purchased, except for some of their core items.

“With merit value, the upper echelons of the human world have no barriers, and fewer disputes. Together, we work hard for the development of humanity. For so many years, humanity has been able to remain united. Much of it is thanks to this system of merit value. All right, you’re already an inhuman expert of the academic faction now. You already have the authority. You’ll learn a lot of general knowledge when you go back and surf the Internet.”

Lin Feng nodded. He couldn’t wait to go back and find out more.

“By the way, since I’ve become part of the academic faction, I have to follow the arrangements. Where will I be deployed to?”

Lin Feng also knew about the basic situation of some Metamorphic Realm martial artists. Once one became a Metamorphic Realm martial artist, they would basically stay at the frontline all year round. It was impossible for them to travel to and from cities as casually as ordinary people.

“Haha, don’t worry. You just broke the genetic lock and have a leave of half a year. You can arrange your itinerary freely, but I suggest you go home. After all, after half a year’s leave, you won’t have such a long leave in the future.”

“I can’t go home right now.” Lin Feng shook his head. The martial law in Dragonlith City was still in effect. He couldn’t return even if he wanted to.

“Lad, i’ll disclose a piece of news to you. In three days at most, the martial law in Dragonlith City will be lifted.”

“So fast?”

Lin Feng was overjoyed. It turned out that the research institute’s progress was really fast. The parasitic seeds that were used to detect the Screwworms and the drugs to eliminate them had all been developed. The martial law could naturally be lifted.

Subsequently, a few other Metamorphic Realm martial artists dragged Lin Feng over for drinks. All of them gave Lin Feng their blessings. This could be considered a rare moment of relaxation. All the Metamorphic Realm martial artists were very grateful to Lin Feng. If not for Lin Feng, they would probably be long dead.

Hence, all of them treated Lin Feng as their little brother, and felt both gratitude and admiration towards him. In this lively atmosphere, Lin Feng also integrated into the circle of these Metamorphic Realm martial artists without realizing it.
