"Hurt? Let me prepare myself mentally?" Li Yuan's face changed slightly.

  A pang of anxiety.

  "Teacher." Li Yuan immediately asked: "Teacher, what's wrong with my uncle?"

  "Calm down and listen to me," said Xu Bo. "According to the information I just received, the battle between the defenders and attackers at Base Three has been extremely brutal over the past few days. Several times, the alien army nearly broke through the fortress's defense lines."

  "Your uncle, in the battle of defense, has been working hard to reinforce the defensive fortifications, and it seems that he has made great contributions. He has already been awarded the third-class silver medal." Xǔ Bó said solemnly.

  "Third-class silver medal?" Li Yuan held his breath.

  To boost morale, the state awards medals to deserving soldiers. Although the titles are complex, they can be broadly categorized into four levels: the Order of National Defense, the Gold Medal, the Silver Medal, and the Bronze Medal, each with three classes: first class, second class, and third class.

  4th rank, 12th grade

  Third-class silver medal, seemingly not high, but for an ordinary middle and lower-level manager of a state-owned enterprise, it is already an unimaginable achievement.

  Uncle, what have you done?

  "There's an emergency battle situation ahead, I don't know the specifics, and I just found out 20 minutes ago." Xu Bo said in a low voice: "Your uncle seems to have been poisoned by some kind of special toxin, his physical condition is rapidly deteriorating."

  "The second temporary hospital lacks doctors, medicine and equipment, making it impossible to treat patients."

  "The environment of Xingjie is complex and completely different from that of Blue Star, with all sorts of strange and bizarre toxins."

  "The means of powerful stellar creatures are often unimaginable."

  "To save your uncle, he must be sent back to Jiang City as soon as possible for expert consultation and treatment."

  "If we delay for another two or three days, I'm afraid there won't be any chance left."

  "But for now, the danger of Base Three has been temporarily alleviated, but wanting to specially arrange personnel and aircraft to transport someone back from the temporary hospital at Base Three is not easy." Xu Bo sighed helplessly: "The people I know don't have this capability."

  Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat, as if struck by lightning.

  He understood Mr. Xu's meaning, this poison is absolutely not ordinary.

  It's not even necessarily poisonous!

  "Uncle." Li Yuan's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.

  That figure who was like a father in his heart, who had been loving and guiding him since he was young, had actually reached such a dangerous point?

  At this moment!

  Li Yuan was so anxious that he immediately flew to the front line of the war in Robe Sea and brought his uncle back.

  "Li Yuan, listen to me, there's still a chance." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan's emotional changes and said in a low voice: "Now, seeing Wan Dian Zhu is the opportunity to save your uncle."

  "Please speak, teacher." Li Yuan forced himself to calm down.

  He remembered his uncle's teachings.

  When it comes to major events, one must remain calm before making any decisions.

  "I want to send your uncle back for treatment immediately, it's not a matter of money." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan: "It's the priority of treatment, I know people, but there's no way to raise the priority of your uncle's treatment, understand?"

  "Let Xinghuo Wudian help me?" Li Yuan said in a low voice, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

  "Right."

  "Now, the higher-ups of Xinghuo Wudian are paying attention to you, they should be helping you upgrade your contract." Xu Bo nodded and said seriously: "You're already a B-level contractor, once upgraded, it'll be an A-level contract."

  "A-grade contract, indicating that the City Lord of Jiang City has acknowledged you."

  "So, if the higher-ups at Xinghuo Martial Temple step in, there's hope to quickly airlift your uncle back." Xu Bo said: "Although the war is intense, after all, Base Three has been relieved, and squeezing a bit can still mobilize flying vehicles."

  "The Frontline is a decision-making body composed of Xinghuo Wudian, Xingkong Wudian and the military."

  Li Yuan understood.

  To quickly send Uncle back, there must be someone with enough power speaking up.

  "Teacher, take me to see Lord Wan's mansion," Li Yuanlian said.

  Now, Li Yuan didn't want to waste even a minute.

  "Follow me."

  ……

  Xu Bo's office inside.

  Xu Bo didn't go in, Li Yuan went in alone.

  "Li Yuan, congratulations, your performance at the invitation activity was so good that it really made me look at you in a new light." Wearing a Tang suit, Wan Qinghe smiled and said: "Sit down and chat slowly."

  "Master Wan's residence." Li Yuan forced a smile, his heart racing with urgency, but he also knew he couldn't speak rashly.

  Wan Qinghe was observing Li Yuan.

  He had a feeling that after several months of not seeing him, Li Yuan's physical energy and mental strength had increased by a large margin, most importantly, he had gained a kind of mysterious aura.

  It's extremely faint, but Wan Qinghe cultivated a spiritual secret technique and could sense it.

  A taste tempered by bloodshed and baptism.

  "Li Yuan, in view of your outstanding performance in the invitation event, and also because you have rushed to the meteorite rank on the Starry Sky Fighting Net." Wan Dianzhu smiled faintly: "I reported to Fei Dianzhu early this morning, that is, Jiang Chengshi Dianzhu."

  "Submit an official application to upgrade your contract to A-level."

  Is this Lord Jiang's residence? Li Yuan understood that this was a truly important person.

  "Am I still not up to standard?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

  "Your performance in other areas is excellent, it's enough." Wan Dianzhu smiled and said: "Besides, with your progress speed, you will definitely reach the standard before the age of 18, why delay?"

  Li Yuan nodded slightly, also true, still five months away from his 18th birthday.

  "Take a look at the terms of the A-level contract." Wan Dianzhu clicked on the smart ring.

  Buzz~

  Li Yuan's wrist slightly trembled as he received a document and quickly clicked to view it.

  Page after page quickly turned over.

  Compared with A-level contract and B-level contract, other terms have no change, mainly resources.

  B-level contract, providing 1.5 million cash + 1.5 million points per year, plus 3 million cultivation points.

  And A-level contract is 6 million cash + 6 million points per year, plus 12 million cultivation points.

  It's four times as much as before.

  The total value of this contract, in cash and points combined, is equivalent to 72 million Blue Star Coins.

  Of course, it will be issued separately for six years.

  Once signed, Xinghuo Wudian will immediately make up for the difference in the first year of the two contracts.

  It can be said that this contract treatment is quite astonishing.

  It's already not much worse than Kunlun Wu's 'S-level special training contract', and in some sense, it's even better.

  Because of Kunlun Wu's special training contract, if the progress speed is not enough, it will be downgraded.

  But once the contract of Xinghuo Wudian is signed, it will never be downgraded.

  "Huh?"

  "An extra 20% increase in treatment every year?" Li Yuan was shocked when he saw the supplementary clause at the end of the treaty.

  "Hmm, this is a special order from Governor Yang after he learned about your situation. The governor is very concerned about you." Wan Qinghe said with a smile.

  Li Yuan looked somewhat perplexed.

  "The master of the provincial temple, that is, the master of the Jiangbei Provincial Branch Temple." Wan Qinghe reminded: "It must be held by a flying warrior."

  "Provincial Lord? Flying Heavenly Warrior?" Li Yuan held his breath, this was truly an existence that had reached the pinnacle of both power and martial arts in Xia Country.

  It is usually seen in major news events.

  Such a person, care about oneself?

  In Li Yuan's heart, Yuan Wu was already a big shot.

  "Don't underestimate yourself." Wan Dianzhu smiled and said: "Your talent is already worth the attention of the Provincial Governor."

  Li Yuan heard this and his heart slightly stirred.

  "Besides."

  "The Provincial Master has promised that if you can break through to 5th rank before the age of 20, you will be promoted to S-level contract and receive a 'Starch Crystal'." The Ten Thousand Hall Master smiled: "When you formally sign the contract, this clause will be added to the 'Special Contract' in the Starfire Space."

  "What's this 'Stardust Crystal' thing?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

  "Priceless treasure." Wan Dianzhu said vaguely: "After you sign the contract, at the right time, you will receive an explanation of the treasure."

  In fact, even Wan Dian Zhu himself did not understand it.

  But in his view, a treasure that can make the provincial master mention it specially must be a rare and precious treasure that cannot be measured by money.

  "Of course, on the premise that you can meet the requirements."

  "Wu Dian's S-level contract, in terms of difficulty and treatment, although not as good as the university's SS-level special training contract, is far superior to the university's S-level special training contract." said Wan Dian Zhu.

  "I understand." Li Yuan nodded, and from this A-level contract alone, he could glimpse a thing or two.

  "Will you sign or not?" Wan Dianzhu looked at Li Yuan with a relaxed expression.

  "Alright."

  "Thank you, Wu Dian, for your cultivation of me." Li Yuan said without hesitation: "I also thank the master of the hall for his help. Without your help and recommendation all along, the masters of the city hall and provincial hall would not have given me this contract."

  Hesitation is not loyalty, and loyalty does not hesitate.

  This is the truth that Uncle Li Changzhou has taught Li Yuan many times.

  Once a decision like taking sides is made, there can't be any hesitation.

  Moreover, Li Yuan was indeed grateful to him in his heart.

  "Good." Wan Dianzhu's face showed a satisfied smile: "I didn't help much, it was your own hard work."

  "Right."

  "I've applied for a villa in the Nanhu Xinghuo residential area, 'Zone 1', with a twenty-year residency right. The first ten years are free, and for the next ten years, you just need to pay an annual property fee." Wan Dianzhu smiled and said, "It should be suitable for your family to live in."

  "In two days, the check-in notice and relevant instructions will be sent to your Xinghuo space. You can move in at any time." Lord Wan Dian didn't mention Fei Qian at all.

  This is his personal relationship.

  "South Lake Starfire Community?" Li Yuan was surprised, that's one of the top communities in Guanshan District.

  Also known as one of the safest villa communities.

  A villa, renting it for a year would probably cost tens of thousands of Blue Star coins, but the key is residential qualification.

  Money can't buy everything.

  "Master of the manor, I...?" Li Yuan was at a loss for words for a moment.

  This A-level contract is indeed extremely valuable.

  "Don't worry, rest assured."

  "Our Xinghuo Wudian has always adhered to the principle of allowing top talents to focus solely on pursuing the ultimate martial arts, making contributions to human civilization." The master of Wan Dian smiled and handed Li Yuan a bowl of chicken soup: "I believe in you, you will definitely win the S-level contract in the future, and even become a flying warrior."

  Li Yuan took a deep breath and said heavily: "Thank you, Master Xie."

  "What else do you need?" Wan Dianzhu smiled and said: "I can solve whatever problems I can for you."

  "If it can't be solved, I'll report it to my superiors and try my best to help you solve it."

  He looked at Li Yuan with great sincerity.

  "Master of the Hall, I have something that I would like to ask for your help with." Li Yuan seemed to have made a very big decision.

  "Speak!"

  Soon, Li Yuan told Wan Dianzhu about his uncle's situation.

  "Third-Class Silver Medal?"

  "Your uncle? The Second Temporary Hospital?" Wan Dianzhu nodded repeatedly: "Alright, I've got it, I'll contact the Starfire Martial Temple's warriors in Luobei immediately and make arrangements."

  "However."

  "I also don't dare to completely guarantee it." Wan Dianzhu looked at Li Yuan.

  "Sorry to trouble you, sir." Li Yuan's eyes were slightly red.

  ……

  See off Wan Dian Zhu.

  "Has Wan Dian Zhu agreed?" Xu Bo walked into the room and asked.

  "Uh, but he didn't dare guarantee it completely." Li Yuan nodded and forced a smile: "Teacher, I'll head back to the martial arts room first, want to be alone for a bit."

  "Alright, talk to me again if you need anything." Xu Bo said, knowing the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Changzhou.

  Not father and son, but just like father and son.

  Back to the 4011 Martial Arts Room.

  Li Yuan pondered for a moment before dialing a V-number on his smart ring.

  "Drip... Drip..."

  Connected!

  "Li Yuan? Have you returned to Jiang City?" A rough voice with a hint of laughter came from the other end of the communication.

  "Director Li, I have something and I'd like to ask for your help." Li Yuan said directly.

  "Say."

  ……

  A few minutes later, after hanging up Director Li's call, Li Yuan dialed another V- number.

  Very soon.

  "Li Yuan?" A gentle voice came through the communication: "Is there something?"

  "Excuse me, Senior Ji," Li Yuan said, "I have an urgent matter and I'd like to consult with you about it."
