Tian Du City.
At the Sword Card Master department.
The dean looked at Lu Ming calmly. His small eyes, which were only twice the size of Li Ronghao's, revealed several extremely complicated emotions.
Cough.
Lu Ming coughed.
He reorganized his words before saying, "I think there must be some people who are guarding this world quietly."
Regardless of the world, there would always be a group of people who were guarding this world quietly.
This was the case in his previous life.
In this life …
He was afraid that this was the case as well.
"That's right."
The dean sighed. "This world …"
"Is there a problem?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"What?"
The dean was puzzled.
"There is a problem."
Lu Ming's mind was as clear as a mirror. "Tell me, is it a monster from another dimension or the Demon Realm has descended? Oh, is there a hole in the ground …"
The dean was speechless.
What was this child saying?
What did he mean by there was a hole in the ground …
Why? There was a hole in the ground. Could he fill it up by himself?! Mother Earth was just a metaphor. She did not really ask him to poke a hole in the ground!
Spat!
What kind of nonsense was this?!
The dean felt that his mind was in a mess. Lu Ming's sudden outburst of words made him doubtful about this world …
"What do you know?"
The dean asked gingerly.
"Isn't it always like this?"
Lu Ming scratched his head.
According to his years of experience, this was the general view of the world … The descent of mental demons, the door of the underworld, the demons in the catacombs, the double world reflection …
Wait a minute.
“？？？”
The dean was dumbstruck.
He listened patiently to Lu Ming's ideas and then sighed deeply. "It's a pity that you don't write novels."
"Not really."
Lu Ming smiled faintly. "With my looks, it's a pity that I write novels."
The dean was speechless.

This child was asking for a beating recently …
Forget it.
After all, he had donated to the testing area …
After all, he had graduated from the First College …
After all, he was still hanging on the wall of the college …
At the thought of this …
The dean was a little disappointed.
He thought that after he retired, he would be the one hanging on the wall. He didn't expect that Lu Ming would be one step ahead of him, hanging on the wall of the academy …
Sigh.
Life was unpredictable.
"It's not like what you said."
The dean sighed.
"Really?"
Lu Ming exclaimed.
"No."
The dean was very certain.
He thought back to his life. With his current strength, he had never heard of anyone being able to make a hole in the ground … Not even a Nine Star.
Not even the parallel worlds!
Not even the Reflection World!
There was no such thing as a Demon Realm!
"Oh."
Lu Ming understood. "Then the enemy is …"
"Berserk beasts."
The dean said honestly.
"… Direbeast?"
Lu Ming was at a loss.
He thought of the outskirts of every city, the ferocious beasts that did not dare to come close to the human city and could only live in the wild.
"Yes."
The dean nodded slightly, "In people's perception, berserk beasts are very weak, right? But do you know that this world where all living beings can cultivate is far more dangerous than we think …
"Humans can cultivate. Isn't it the same for other living beings?
"Humans are intelligent and can distribute energy. This is why there are various associations.
"As for animals …
"They don't even need to differentiate energy. They only need to absorb energy to maximize their advantages and they will have innate abilities!
"And most of these living beings are normal.
"However …
"After all, there is a group of people. Their originally very terrifying abilities, after the evolution of energy, they will become super abilities and become a huge disaster …"
The dean said in a low voice.
"For example, let's take the simplest example — locusts.
"Do you know what kind of disaster will happen when the mutated locusts mutate under the catalysis of energy?!"
"Let's make an assumption …
"After the mutation, there is a one in a hundred million chance that one of the locusts will break through to seven-star …
"Do you know how many seven-stars will be born out of billions of locusts?"
Ss — —
Lu Ming gasped a breath of energy.
Locust plague …
This actually existed in this world!
In his previous life, the disaster caused by the locust plague was still fresh in his memory …
However …
In his previous life, no matter how terrifying the locusts' reproductive ability was, they had a fatal flaw. In this era, when the locusts could cultivate and they could ignore the cold and high temperatures …
When they could travel across oceans and mountains …
These guys …
Lu Ming's scalp turned numb at the thought of it.
"In the past …
"There was a disaster that was caused by locusts.
"After a locust mutated, it had the ability to travel through space …
"Then …
"Something big happened."
The dean said in a low voice, "I remember that in that disaster, countless people died … They starved to death, died of illness, fled from famine. The entire world seemed to be doomsday …
"What happened afterward?"
Lu Ming asked.
"It was resolved afterward.
"But there were heavy losses.
"Since then, the higher-ups began to suppress and resolve the disaster."
The dean rubbed his head. "The mutated locusts are only one of them. Other than them, there are more terrifying disasters in this world!
"Just the ones I've seen, there are a few."
"Mutated earthworms with unlimited clones …
"Giant void toads that devour time …
"Wait a minute.
"These are all world-class disasters!"
"Because the enemy has super powerful abilities, in order to resolve them, one must have extremely powerful abilities and strong team combat ability!
"Therefore …
"Every year.
"These disaster problems will be handed over to some powerful families or associations!"
The dean said.
"Families?"
Lu Ming scratched his head. There were actually families?
"Yes."
The dean said, "Because of genetic optimization, you know that the descendants of grandmasters are usually very talented. Therefore, the power of the family history is very powerful!
"Therefore …
"In addition to the top 100 associations, there are naturally some powerful families.
"Of course.
"You don't have to worry about these.
"In short, these forces on the list, in addition to enjoying the glory and subsidies brought by this list, they will also bear the ability to resolve the world-class disasters …
"This is an opportunity and also a responsibility!
"For the various associations …
"The main purpose of the branch is to recruit disciples to join the association. The strongest among them will eventually enter the headquarters and come into contact with these!
"Oh.
"Right."
The dean suddenly paused. "Qiu Shuyi used to do this kind of mission."
Senior Qiu …
Lu Ming closed his eyes slightly.
It turned out that Senior Qiu was busy with this back then. World-class disasters?
"Therefore, that nine-star wants us to be cannon fodder?"
Lu Ming sighed.
"Of course not."
The dean shook his head. "The combat ability that you displayed in the competition is enough to prove the strength of the Sword Card Master Association! Since the senior recommended you, it means that you do indeed have the ability! The higher-ups are not fools. How can they send a pure cannon fodder?
"However …
"Just as I said …"
"No matter how powerful an association is, there will be variables in the face of such disasters.
"And …
"Sacrifice!
"It's just a matter of how many people to sacrifice."
The dean's voice was low.
"Oh …"
Lu Ming understood now.
Amazing associations might sacrifice very little.
Weaker associations might sacrifice a lot of people …
Furthermore …
They would use the number of people to make up for the disaster.
After all …
Other associations could sacrifice, why couldn't the Sword Card Master Association do the same?
"Don't blame that senior."
The dean rubbed his head. "Although he does have some selfish motives … Let me put it this way. He once recommended his son to a certain place to solve a world-class disaster …
"He's dead.
"He once recommended his elder brother to solve a certain disaster …
"He's also dead.
"He once recommended his daughter-in-law to solve a certain disaster …
"He's also dead.
Ss — —
Lu Ming gasped a breath of air. "Is his family that polite?!"
One look and he could tell that he was his biological son.
He was ruthless enough.
Head of Teaching: "(́ lд ́)"
What did he mean by polite …
This child …
"Do you know how that senior became a nine-star?"
The dean sighed. "Life and death breakthrough! After numerous life-and-death battles, he broke through again and again and finally became a nine-star!
"His style and the entire family system are like this.
"Therefore, even if this senior recommended a mission to his own family, the difficulty was generally fifty-fifty … Either you break through or you die …
"It's a pity.
"All of them have failed …"
"Therefore …
"He sent you … most likely not to target you. Instead, he took a liking to you …
"…"
Lu Ming was taken aback.
Damn.
You might as well target me!
Why the hell did he take a liking to him?!
It was scary to be targeted by such a senior, okay?!
Besides …
A fifty-fifty chance of breaking through …
Did he think that he was Captain America? He had a fifty-fifty chance of winning against Thanos and a fifty-fifty chance of winning against ordinary soldiers …
For ordinary people …
This meant that he had a fifty percent chance of winning every mission! If he could not keep breaking through, it meant that sooner or later, he would be defeated!!!
Of course.
It was not important to talk about his family.
What was important was that he recommended him this time …
"I'm probably going to be defeated?"
Lu Ming sighed.
"…"
The dean patted his shoulder. "A fifty-fifty chance."
Lu Ming was speechless.
He was afraid that if he calculated according to the three thousand cores displayed in the competition, the chances of winning were not fifty-fifty but he would be completely defeated …
"Dean.
"Yes?
"Is it too late for me to say that I cheated during the competition?
"The higher-ups said that cheating is also a part of one's ability …"
The dean smiled faintly.
"…"
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
He knew it …
Anyway.
With the recommendation of the nine-star big shots, Lu Ming and the entire Sword Card Master Association had truly become a first-line association to protect the world!
"What are the specific tasks?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Let's wait for a few days."
The dean said, "The higher-ups will issue a list of tasks very soon. The Sword Card Master Association has to be responsible for dealing with world-class problems in a certain area."
"Oh."
Lu Ming understood now. "Oh, it's the world-class patrol police."
Dean: "(̄ ▽ ̄)/"
Comrade Lu Ming's ability to comprehend was quite strong.
"Cough.
"Anyway."
The dean said, "You just have to wait for the tasks to be issued."
"Oh …"
Lu Ming nodded. "We understand the tasks and responsibilities. What about the benefits …"
Look.
As a top one hundred association, they saved the world and protected the people. Besides taking responsibility, they had to give them some benefits?
The dean thought about it. "Reputation?"
Top one hundred association!
Was this reputation not enough?
"Do you think the Sword Card Master Association needs this?"
Lu Ming said unhappily.
They had just won the first place at the Glory Grand Ceremony!
"Oh, that's right."
The dean thought for a long time and finally thought of something good. "In that case, I will apply to the higher-ups to help you get a silk banner with a golden edge …"
"…"
Lu Ming cast a deep glance at the dean.
He felt like beating someone up. Damn!
Dean, you were not like this in the past!
"Oh, right."
The dean said in a low voice, "There's one more thing that you have to pay attention to. In the future, it's best not to let anyone interfere with the association's resources … It's okay that Zhao Yunshan is your disciple, but in the future, he will have children, a family, a company and shareholders. If you let him interfere too deeply, you might not be clean …"
Lu Ming furrowed his brows.
Although the dean's intention was right, he felt that the dean's choice of words was not very elegant.
What did he mean?? He was not clean anymore?
Besides …
Zhao Yunshan had overdrawn hundreds of times the financial resources a few days ago! The Sword Card Master Association's financial deficit had almost turned black …
If they were to return it …
Perhaps …
It would take many years?
"Won't the higher-ups give us some subsidies?"
Lu Ming said in a low voice.
You can't really let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass, right?
If that was the case …
Lu Ming had already thought of the plots where the various associations began to lie and conceal their reports in order to avoid being expropriated … After all, some people were really good at this.
"Cough.
"It's impossible to just give them subsidies."
The dean shook his head decisively. "However …"
He paused for a moment.
Looking at Lu Ming's expectant eyes, he said, "Of course, there are benefits to being a top 100 association. Otherwise, why do you think everyone is working so hard to get to the top?
"The foundation to solve a world-level disaster is seven-star and above cultivators!
"So …
"We will give the highest respect to all the cultivators who are fighting on the front lines. They will enjoy the highest level of resources and subsidies! They will be used to cultivate and increase their abilities!
"These resources …
"The resources of the highest quality will be directly distributed to the association by the higher-ups!
"These things …
"These are the dreams of all grandmasters!
"Many cultivators and many associations, even if they are rich, will never be qualified to touch these. No, they might not even have heard of these!
"These …
"Only the top 100 associations and the presidents of the associations who have entered the top 100 are qualified to know about them. They are not even allowed to tell the public!
"And from today onwards …
"The Sword Card Master Association will receive a batch of such resources every month."
The dean looked serious.
"…"
Lu Ming's heart trembled.
At this moment …
He had a feeling that he had just entered the main city after killing the BOSS in the novice village and the system prompted that 'High-level maps are open' and 'High-level shops are open'.
Oh.
There was also a 'You have purchased this season's battle token monthly card'.
→_→
"Anyway …
"Congratulations to all of you.
"From now onwards, your association will have the ability to change the world!"
The dean smiled faintly.
There was a deep meaning behind it.
…
After a long time …
The dean left.
The main purpose of his visit was to let Lu Ming understand the role of a world-class patrol policeman in advance …
Cough.
Lu Ming was calm now.
With the development of the Sword Card Master Association, perhaps they would have such a day sooner or later.
Well …
So be it the top 100.
So be it as a patrol policeman.
The earlier they encountered it, the earlier they could adapt to it.
The appearance of this list of associations had at least solved the financial problem of their blind expansion …
It was quite good.
This was what Lu Ming had in mind.
Of course.
Considering the difficulty of a world-class disaster, Lu Ming still wanted the entire Sword Card Master Association to increase their strength as soon as possible in preparation for future battles!
…
The next day.
The notice arrived.
When Lu Ming saw the division of areas for the Sword Card Master Association, his heart skipped a beat — The Sword Card Master Association was in charge of the boundless ocean and the east ocean region …
Wait a minute.
Boundless ocean?
East ocean region?
If he didn't remember wrongly …
Shush!
Lu Ming flipped to the second page of the notice. True enough, he saw a familiar name on it —
Contact: Lu XX.
Of course.
It was not important what his name was.
What was important was that this was little Lu Ming's biological father …
That person.
According to legend …
He was a big shot who was so ferocious that he had a field battle in the Twin Crystal legacy site.
In the end …
They still had to meet!
