Not to mention the many treasures whose value is incalculable; if all of them were included, no one knew exactly how many there were before the sinking.
It's true, money is just a number for those currently facing difficulties.
The armored vehicle suddenly stopped. Shen Qian returned the financial report to Wan Ning and was about to ask questions when the armored vehicle restarted.
"Reporting, Major Shen, Jiang Zhongjun just set up a roadblock to seal off the restricted area, but we have passed through!"
The driver, Xiao Liu's, voice came from the cockpit.
Chen Qian paused for a moment, then leaned out the window to look. Through the murky sandstorm of the restricted area, he could vaguely see streaks of black mist spreading across the sky.
Shen Qian logged into the military warriors' internal system using his bracelet and saw the announcement: due to the changes in the heavens and earth, the restricted area was sealed off, and all warriors were prohibited from entering.
However, Shen Qian knew that this blockade order was only for ordinary martial artists. Martial artists with certain status and strength would not be restricted, such as Shen Qian at this moment.
"Go faster."
Shen Qian gave Xiao Liu an instruction, then leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. Seeing that Shen Qian was in low spirits, Wan Ning stopped talking and simply placed her slender fingers on Shen Qian's forehead and gently massaged it.
...
North of Jiangzhou City, armored vehicles slowly drove into a huge, nest-shaped building that covered an area of over several thousand square meters.
"The headquarters of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association in Jiangzhou City is considered to be of enormous size in the entire Huaxia region, easily ranking among the top three. One reason for this is that the honorary president of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association, the Prince of Zhenbei, is from Jiangzhou..."
Inside the car, Wan Ning said softly, "Mr. Shen, I have already booked the Mountain and Sea Certification Ceremony for you today, and the timing is just right."
"Thanks."
Shen Qian could only sigh that it was so good to have someone to serve him. Back when he was in Jingcheng, he had to run around to several places to get certified as a beginner martial artist. It was so much more convenient than it is now.
Shen Qian led Wan Ning and Dao Jiu out of the parking lot, where staff members were already waiting in the elevator lobby.
"Mr. Shen Qian, this way please."
The staff member bowed respectfully to Chen Qian and then guided the three of them into the VIP elevator.
We arrived at the nineteenth floor of the building. When the elevator doors opened, a group of people were already waiting in the spacious and bright lobby.
The leader was a white-haired old man in a suit and tie with an extraordinary demeanor. When he saw Shen Qian appear, he took the initiative to lead the people behind him to greet him and said with a smile, "Major Shen, hello. I am Zheng Lei, the vice president of Jiangzhou Martial Arts Association."
Shen Qian shook hands with the old man, and they both sensed the surprise in each other's eyes.
Zheng Lei was astonished by Shen Qian's profound and boundless aura, which was probably even stronger than the legends suggested. For Shen Qian's age, this was absolutely astonishing.
Shen Qian was also secretly amazed. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't met enough martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm before, or if his judgment was lacking. Zheng Lei gave him the feeling that he was quite unfathomable and was probably a top expert in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"I apologize for troubling you, Chairman Zheng," Shen Qian said in a polite greeting.
"Major Shen, you're too kind," Zheng Lei said with a smile. "The testing equipment is ready. Of course, with Major Shen's capabilities, this is just a formality, but some procedures are still necessary."
"I dare not accept such praise," Shen Qian waved his hand.
"Shall we begin?"
Zheng Lei glanced at his watch, and after obtaining Shen Qian's consent, the group went to a large hall at the deepest part of the nineteenth floor.
In the roughly 200-square-meter hall, there was a dark black martial arts simulator. Judging from its appearance and configuration, it was superior to all the martial arts simulators commonly found on the market, but it was not as good as the master version customized by the military for Shen Qian.
But it should be sufficient for testing ordinary martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"Please have Major Shen test your cultivation level first."
Zheng Lei explained the details of the test to Shen Qian, then activated the recording function in the hall, and then dismissed everyone, leaving Shen Qian with some space.
There's not much to say about the testing process. Chen Qian controlled his strength before sinking in, and the final test result showed that his overall physical fitness and mental strength met the standards of a martial artist at the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
After all, Shen Qian had shown amazing performance in the Nine Heavens Competition, and a lower realm would arouse suspicion. So Shen Qian thought about it and decided that the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm should be just right.
Of course, even so, many martial arts association staff members who witnessed everything outside the glass door were still visibly shocked.
A martial artist at the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm with a bone age of eighteen years is, at least according to the records of the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Association, the first of its kind.
"Please wait a moment, Major Shen. The badge needs to be specially made and will take some time."
Zheng Lei walked back in, first saying with a smile, then changing the subject, "However, now that the certification is complete, there are some things we can inform Major Shen about first."
"President Zheng, please speak."
"Martial artists of the Mountain and Sea Realm can receive a tax-free allowance of 100,000 Chinese Yuan per month. The allowance increases by 100,000 Yuan for each level of cultivation breakthrough. The allowance for the fourth level of the Mountain and Sea Realm is 400,000 Yuan. Starting next month, the allowance will be deposited into Major Shen's account on time."
Zheng Lei said, "In addition, Mountain and Sea Warriors also enjoy the right to purchase designated real estate at a 30% discount, a million-yuan vehicle voucher for designated brands, priority education for their children in prestigious schools, and so on. Major Shen can check these details himself after receiving the badge."
Shen Qian nodded slightly. If it were him a year ago, he would probably have been too excited to contain himself upon hearing this, but now he naturally felt nothing.
The monthly allowance is perfect; it can be deposited directly into my parents' accounts. They won't accept too much money, but 400,000 should be just right.
"The above are the benefits of Mountain and Sea Warriors. Next, I will talk about the obligations of Mountain and Sea Warriors. According to the law, Mountain and Sea Warriors will be assigned to territories based on their residential areas. Within their territories, they have the responsibility to protect the human race. In addition, there are some obligations and regulations regarding forbidden zones, but I will not read them in detail because they do not apply to Major Shen."
