Chapter 238 - Legion Commander

Lin Yao’s eyes lit up when he heard Ye Ying’s words. Ye Ying, who was clueless, finished talking about the restrictions and went on to talk about the benefits of joining the night guard. The first benefit was the combat skills and techniques. They would not merely provide one or two combat skills and techniques. Instead, Lin Yao could study all the available combat skills and techniques at the night guard at will.

“No matter the technique, as long as we have it, you can learn it.”

This was a good deal. However, after giving it careful thought, Lin Yao realized that they were not offering a lot. First of all, one’s energy was limited. In most cases, he would only practice one major technique and work on excelling at a few combat skills.

Secondly, techniques were not consumable. Even if one person browsed through all the techniques, the night guard would not have to pay anything.

Of course, Lin Yao was still grateful.

In addition to this benefit, the second benefit was the condition mentioned just now, which Lin Yao used in exchange for one billion yuan.

The third benefit was the supply of materials, which was big. He could trade for one king-level resource, three diamond-level resources, and 10 gold-level resources.

Although these were internal resources within the night guard, Lin Yao was just as interested. Besides, this was only the first round of resources. The better Lin Yao’s performance was, the more they would give him.

Presented with so many benefits, Lin Yao was naturally excited, and he was ready to sign even without Qin Ya’s encouragement.

However, the road to happiness was paved with hardships. Lin Yao was interested in Ye Ying’s offer, but he had yet to sign the contract when someone interrupted them again.

‘Today is a really lively day.’

After sensing the arrival of another person, Elder Wei was ready to watch a good show. Although Ye Ying could not see the figure inside, the aura exuded from the body seemed a bit cold.

However, he soon calmed down.

“You are here too. Unfortunately, it’s a bit late. Lin Yao has already joined our team.”

“He hasn’t signed a contract yet. Even if he has, I can always conscript him into the army.”

It was the military representative who made this comment. They were very domineering and aggressive in battle. All the combat power of this world was given to the military on a priority basis, and other forces were not as powerful as them.

Ye Ying was helpless, but he soon composed himself.

“You can’t take Student Lin Yao away.”

In terms of treatment, the night guard had already given Lin Yao the best, and the military would only give the equivalent at best.

Even if he was offered equal treatment, Ye Ying believed that Lin Yao would be more willing to join the night guard.

This was the reality. Although the military had great power, the main force of the military soldiers was the soldiers selected from the hundreds of millions of people in China. Because ordinary civilians were their pillar, for the benefit of the people, the military had to follow the strictest and most restrictive rules.

In contrast, the dojo, the night guard, and the Abnormal Ability Department had slightly fewer restrictions.

“We have offered the best conditions, and we do not have as many restrictions as the military. There is no way you can compete with us.”

Ye Ying was very confident, but he was stunned by the remark of the military representative.

Besides him, everyone else present was also shocked by his remark.

They thought they had already seen enough today. No matter what the military said, they would not be surprised. However, as the military representative presented the conditions, they realized that they had not seen the best offer yet.

“Student Lin Yao, if you join the military, we will build a regular army with you as the main force.”

His offer was short and simple, but everyone who understood the meaning was shocked.

He was referring to a legion. A legion with Lin Yao as the main force. This was simply like achieving instant success.

To be honest, although a king was strong, there were many kings in the country. In contrast, a legion was a terrifying force. In addition to the four major pillars of mankind, there were only five other countries on the Blue Planet that could build a full legion. This meant that Lin Yao, who would have a legion, would be able to defeat all the other countries and regions except for the above nine groups.

If his legion was strong enough, the number of people who had a higher authority than him would be reduced to eight, seven, or even five or six. He would become the person with the most power in the world right away. This was the mighty power of a legion.

Of course, a legion built and cultivated by China would naturally need to obey the orders of the government. However, as the legion commander, Lin Yao would have immense power.

Even Lin Yao was shocked when he heard the word “legion”.

As Lin Yao was shocked by this offer, Ye Ying could not stand it anymore. “Do you have to go to this extent? Although Student Lin Yao possesses the light talent and thunder talent, doesn’t he have a weaker comprehension ability? Are you crazy? Why would you build a legion with him as the main force?”

The few people who were there had odd expressions on their faces. In the end, the military representative said, “Mr. Ye Ying, don’t you know what happened last night?”

“Did something happen last night? Our marshal values Student Lin Yao very much. In order to show our sincerity, he specifically told me to make an urgent trip from the capital to Shanghai. I was on the road all night and I just arrived.”

“No wonder, Lin…”

“Cough, cough…”

Someone from the military wanted to say something, but he was interrupted before he was done speaking. It was Yan Yu’er who had stopped him.

Although she was the one who had spoken up to attract their attention, she was still a little nervous now that everyone focused on her. However, she soon calmed down and said with a humble smile, “Gentlemen, I think what we are talking about now is highly confidential and we must not let others know about it. What do you think?”

The military representative agreed with her. “Although this matter cannot be concealed, it is good to be cautious. But isn’t everyone here your teammate?”

Very few geniuses in this world worked alone. Each genius had various followers, and they had extremely close ties to each other. Those who came here thought that the people who were here were Lin Yao’s comrades, so they did not guard themselves against them.

Before Lin Yao had time to speak, Yan Yu’er had already turned to look at Qin Ya. “Ms. Qin Ya, Ah Yao trusts you very much, and I hope you will prove to be worthy of this trust and will not allow other unrelated people to harm him.”

Siblings Yin Yin and Yin Meng had offered advice to Yan Yu’er just now, so she took the opportunity to show her loyalty.

Although Yan Yu’er had labeled them as irrelevant people, Jin Cheng and the others did not dare bare their teeth anymore.

Lin Yao was regarded as a king seedling by the night guard, and the military wanted to make him the core of a legion. This made them truly understand the gap between them and Lin Yao, so they did not dare say a word.

Qin Ya turned pale. Although she was capable, that was only in the world of business. This time, everything regarding Lin Yao was considered a state secret, and it was not something that she could get involved in.

Therefore, to no one’s surprise, Jin Cheng and the others were driven away, but Qin Ya was allowed to stay at Lin Yao’s order.

“This is my comrade. There is nothing wrong with letting her stay. I trust her.”

“Fine, but she will have to sign a confidentiality agreement later… Not just her. Everyone in the room will have to sign the same agreement.”

While speaking of the agreement, the military representative had a cautious look on his face, which made Lin Yao understand that whatever was used to sign the agreement was absolutely unusual.

‘It’s good to keep it confidential.’

This was just a small episode, and soon it was time for Lin Yao to make a choice.

After learning a little about the legion, Lin Yao hesitated to make a decision.

First of all, the legion was powerful and had a lot of power. After becoming the legion commander, Lin Yao would really be able to guard the country.

However, after becoming the legion commander, Lin Yao would have to abide by a lot of restrictions. First of all, he would not be able to move about with a few personal female assistants blatantly like he did now. Second, he would not be able to run large-scale businesses, and he’d need to pay attention to what he said and follow the instructions of the higher-ups…

Discipline was very important to prevent the military from becoming a junta.

Should he choose power or freedom? He was in a dilemma. In the end, Lin Yao still preferred the night guard. He felt that freedom was more important. Besides, he believed that he could break through the limitations of a king and become a legend. Then, he could defeat an entire army by himself.

However, before Lin Yao made the final decision, he was pulled into the adjacent room by Qin Ya and was persuaded by her.

“Mr. Lin Yao, there are many restrictions in a legion, but this is only on the Blue Planet. If the legion you lead can attack and invade our mystic realms or the alternate world and get stationed there, many of the restrictions will be lifted.”
