Linna looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What kind of bet?"
Sun Shuai grinned broadly and said, "If you can win the championship in this National College Freshman Competition, I will agree to your condition."
Lin Nai was even more puzzled: "What conditions did you promise me?"
Sun Shuai: "If you can win the championship, I will grant you special permission to become a special Darkmoon member. When you join Darkmoon, you will have complete autonomy to choose whether or not to accept missions, and you will receive the same treatment as regular Darkmoon members."
"But if we don't win the championship, everything will proceed as normal."
A middle-aged leader sitting at a nearby conference table opened his mouth in astonishment, seemingly wanting to stand up and say something.
But Old Ji, who was standing nearby, reached out and stopped him.
Looking at Sun Shuai's retreating figure, Old Ji felt somewhat speechless.
This Sun Yicheng...
I'm clearly the person in charge of Darkmoon, so what's with you making such a unilateral decision and promising special approval?
"How about that?" Sun Shuai crossed his arms. "Nothing to say now, right?"
Lin Nai tilted her head, looking bewildered, and said, "But I didn't say I wanted to join Dark Moon."
Sun Shuai: "???"
Linnaeus: "I'm just saying that if you agree to this condition, I can consider it."
Sun Shuai: "......"
Sun Shuai's facial muscles twitched slightly: "...Kid...you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
“No.” Lin Nai frowned, puzzled, and asked, “Wasn’t joining Dark Moon an invitation from you? Is there a rule that anyone selected by you in the competition must join?”
Sun Shuai: "......"
Hongye couldn't help but burst into laughter, completely disregarding her image as a beautiful leader.
The main reason was that it was the first time she had seen Commander Sun with such a look of disgust, as if he had swallowed a fly, and he hadn't even said a word in response, which made her unable to help but laugh.
Sun Shuai's face darkened. He stared at Lin Nai for a while before saying, "Fine! Since you put it that way, I'll add another bargaining chip."
As he spoke, he pulled out a wooden-yellow plaque from his person and slammed it heavily on the table.
Lin Nai glanced at it and saw that the wooden yellow sign had the word "order" written on it.
"This is the token of the 'Yellow Soldier Token'," Sun Shuai said slowly. "Owning it is equivalent to having the title of a Yellow-level military commander. No matter where you are, you can unconditionally mobilize a hundred-strong dimensional army of extraordinary warriors at any time. As long as you win the championship in this competition, this thing will be yours!"
This time, even the principal of Kyoto University was taken aback, saying in astonishment, "This... Marshal Sun, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Sun Shuai: "Shut up."
Kyoto Principal: "..."
Commander Sun continued to stare at Lin Nai, his eyes narrowing, and said, "However, if you lose, you will not only have to join the Dark Moon, but you will also have to transfer from your Night Watch Academy to my Military Academy without any conditions!"
"This isn't an invitation, it's just a pure bet!"
"So, do you dare?"
Lin Nai deliberately feigned hesitation: "Isn't this... a bit against the rules?" As he spoke, he glanced at Professor Ji, Principal Kyoto, and the other leaders.
Sun Shuai waved his hand dismissively and said nonchalantly, "You don't need to worry about whether it complies with the rules or not. Just tell me if you dare to gamble! As long as you dare to gamble, I'll take care of the rest!"
Lin Nai thought for a moment and asked, "Does your Military Academy have any outstanding contestants in this competition?"
Sun Shuai: "Why are you asking this?"
Linnaeus: "Just asking."
Commander Sun snorted and proudly raised his head: "Of course! In the third round of the competition just now, a total of five people escaped from the illusion. One of them, Fang Wu, is a student of my military academy and also my subordinate!"
"..." Linnaeus: "Then do you know how he got through the third round of the illusion?"
"Hmm?" Commander Sun paused, shook his head and said, "Just before the illusion collapsed, the signal in the Heavenly Eye Chamber suddenly became abnormal, so we didn't see it."
“…I see.” Lin Nai nodded. “Alright, I’ll take the bet—provided, of course, that the other leaders have no objections.”
Commander Sun turned to the other leaders behind him and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
The leaders: "...No, no."
"Very good, then it's settled." Commander Sun put his hand on Lin Nai's shoulder.
His hands were large, and he gripped Linnai's shoulders tightly.
Sun Shuai sneered, "Kid, you're the first student to dare make a bet with me, you've got guts... but courage usually comes at a price. Once you transfer to my Military Academy, I'll give you a good lesson!"
Linnaeus: "..."
......
I left the conference hall and went downstairs.
Linnaeus raised his head and looked at the boundless blue sky.
The president of Kyoto University, the president of Tuva University, and a whole host of other high-ranking officials, even Sun Shuai...
These are all people who were previously only seen on television.
Now I can face them directly.
Well, I can even put on a little airs in front of them...
Despite this, Linna had an indescribable feeling.
He felt that as he climbed higher in the ranks, he would likely face more and more unavoidable situations.
Now, he can still bargain.
What about the future?
Perhaps General Sun is right; before one has grown up, everything else is just bullshit...
Lin Nai sighed silently for a while, then prepared to leave.
A seductive, languid female voice sounded from behind: "Hey, stop right there."
Lin Nai stopped, turned around in confusion, and realized that it was the red-haired beauty who had been staring at her in the conference room.
The red-haired beauty walked gracefully up to Lin Nai and said with a smile, "Do you know who I am?"
Lin Nai looked at the red-haired beauty in front of him with suspicion, thinking that she was someone he knew before, but no matter how carefully he looked, he had no recollection of her at all, so he could only shake his head.
Red-haired beauty: "You just killed over two thousand of my townspeople in my illusion and absorbed so much of my antimatter power. Now you don't recognize me?"
Linna immediately realized: "You were the creator of the third round of illusions?"
"Hmm, that's right, you're not too slow." Hongye smiled and extended a finger, gently patting Lin Nai's face with her soft fingertip: "Don't worry, I don't plan to ask you to take back those antimatter powers."
"You need to perform well in the upcoming matches. Sun Yicheng is a vengeful guy. If you join the military academy like this, who knows how he'll torment you."
After saying that, Hongye swayed her alluring figure and left, leaving Lin Nai standing there completely bewildered.
