Seeing that group leave, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall people in the meeting room immediately became lively.
“That Zhang Zelu really has the same temper as the rumours say, foul and unbearable. Clearly his nephew was in the wrong, yet he refused to lower his head,” Wu Tong said with a smile, shaking his head. “He would rather pay 100 million than settle for 30 million.”
The martial arts hall had contribution points, and the state also had contribution points.
Those who contributed to the nation would be awarded contribution points based on merit. Reaching 10,000 points meant one star level. 100,000 points meant two star level. This system was the same as the martial arts hall’s system. Back then, Dong Nanbiao, who single handedly killed a tiger-headed flood beast by the banks of the Yangtze River and saved tens of thousands of civilians, was posthumously awarded a four star hero title.
Contribution points could be obtained through donations to the martial arts hall, and it worked the same way for the nation.
10,000 Chinese yuan could obtain 1 contribution point.
100 million Chinese yuan equals 10,000 contribution points, which is one star level.
If Zhang Zelu refused to settle with Luo Feng, the only option would be to donate 100 million to the state for his nephew, raising his nephew’s national contribution points to one star level. As a one star citizen, Zhang Haobai would have special privileges and could not be sentenced to prison for many years over a conflict with Luo Feng.
“Even if he donates 100 million to the state and makes his nephew a one star citizen, a one star citizen who dares to target a warrior will still be detained for three to five months as punishment, even if he is not sentenced,” Fire Cannon Chen Gu said, shaking his head.
“If they refuse to lower their heads, who can you blame?”
“They are rich, they do not care.”
The martial artists of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall laughed.
“Luo Feng,” Hall Master Wu Tong said with a smile, “as instructed by Supervisor Zhuge, we will arrange for you to join a general level warrior squad. This way, when you go outside the base city, you will gain experience more easily and your safety will also be better protected. I have also helped you arrange it, and you will join the ‘Fire Hammer Squad’.”
“Fire Hammer Squad?” Luo Feng nodded slightly.
Supervisor Zhuge indeed valued him highly, allowing him to directly join a general level warrior squad.
These squads that leave the base city to hunt monsters in the wilderness vary in strength. Generally, a squad with at least one general level warrior is considered a general level squad.
“Luo Feng,” Fire Cannon Chen Gu patted his shoulder and laughed, “I am the vice captain of Fire Hammer Squad. From now on, you are under me. I will look after you. But I have to say this in advance. Our squad will give you opportunities to train and adapt to monster combat, but you must also work hard. You cannot rely on others all the time. If after your first mission you still cannot adapt, we will have to kick you out.”
“Brother Chen, I understand,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
Warrior squads operate at the edge of life and death. If one member is a burden, it will indeed affect the whole team.
“I am relieved you understand. Also,” Fire Cannon Chen Gu said with a grin, “have you bought your weapons and equipment yet?”
“Not yet. I was planning to buy better equipment, but good equipment requires one star contribution points for half price,” Luo Feng said helplessly, shaking his head.
Fire Cannon Chen Gu immediately laughed. “That is easy. Just tell me what you want to buy, I will help you purchase it. Your contribution points are not enough, but mine are. I am not far from two star level. I can buy it at half price. You just transfer the money to my account afterwards, right?”
“Mm,” Wu Tong nodded from the side. “Normally, for cold weapons and firearms, it is fine for others to help purchase them. Of course, secret manuals cannot be bought on behalf of others.”
Luo Feng nodded.
He understood this.
For example, the Nine Layers Thunder Blade he bought would be recorded in the joint database of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, Underground Alliance, Thunder Martial Arts Hall, and others, showing that Luo Feng had purchased the first three layers. That meant he was allowed to use it.
But if someone else had not bought it and still used it, it would be treated as illegal copying and spreading of the secret manual, which infringed Thunder God’s ownership rights.
If you did not buy it, you were not allowed to practise it.
If someone else bought it for you, only their name would be recorded in the database, not yours, meaning even if you had the manual, you could not legally train it. Weapons, however, did not have such copyright restrictions.
