The country needed to develop more territories, and powerhouses had a great advantage in this regard.
Therefore, the government was willing to subsidize powerhouses.
The country needed powerhouses, and the city needed them even more.
However, the number of gold-level geniuses had exceeded the limits of what the agent could do. After apologizing, he directly reported Lin Yao's situation to the higher-ups, who would then give Lin Yao the treatment he wanted.
Lin Yao was shocked when he heard the news.
"Is it necessary?"
Chief Shi smiled in response. "Of course it is. Don't underestimate your talent. Although there may be diamond geniuses in our city, such geniuses can't be retained. They have all gone to big cities like Shanghai and the capital. It would be good if half of the gold-level geniuses could stay. In order to retain them and increase the safety of the city, the leaders will naturally do their best to retain them."
After learning about Lin Yao's talent, the city had indeed made up its mind. When the agent approached Lin Yao, the first thing he told Lin Yao was not ordinary resources, but a lakeside villa.
"Student Lin Yao, after learning about your situation, the city leaders felt that it was not safe for your family to continue living in the residential area, and it would not be conducive to your training. Therefore, the city has specially rewarded you with a lakeside villa, 70 bottles of nutrition drinks per month, and a monthly financial subsidy of 70,000 yuan. There are no king-level combat skills in our city, and diamond combat skills may not be suitable for you. However, if you need them, the city will help you get one.
"There is also the resource application. The city is prepared to give you a chance to apply for diamond resources. Is there anything else you need?"
The city had indeed spent a lot of money in order to keep Lin Yao. The 70 bottles of nutrition drinks and the villa were nothing, but the opportunity to apply for diamond resources and the diamond combat skills were very shocking.
Of course, the city government would not bear the cost of these resources alone. The large enterprises that had taken root here would also bear a part of the cost. After all, this was related to the safety of the rich.
To put it bluntly, if the city could not be stopped, heavy casualties were inevitable. However, it was impossible for the entire army to be wiped out. A few powerhouses would be able to lead a team to fight their way out, and people who had a good relationship with the powerhouses would naturally have a higher chance of survival.
Of course, this was the last resort. In the past 10 years, there had been almost no such incidents in China.
Lin Yao was quite satisfied with the subsidies given by the city. He did not stand on ceremony with the other party's inquiry.
"Are there any attribute crystals? Light and thunder attributes are the best. I need these two things to improve my talent."
"I will report it to the higher-ups. Your request will definitely be met to the best of our abilities."
"Then I have no problem with that."
After his talent had improved, the content of Lin Yao's allowance had also changed completely.
[Country Subsidies: 30,000 yuan per month, 30 bottles of low-level nutrition drinks, two diamond techniques (one left from last time), three opportunities to apply for gold resources, 1,000 grams of attribute crystals per month.]
[City Subsidies: 70,000 yuan per month, 70 low-level nutrition drinks, one diamond-level combat skill (nationwide), one villa, one opportunity to apply for diamond-level resources (Ninghai City), one opportunity to apply for gold-level resources (Ninghai City), attribute crystals to be determined.]
This kind of subsidy was very exaggerated, but thinking about the fact that Gold Talents were the highest talents that could be left behind in the city, and in the future, there was a possibility that they could grow to become the city's guardian. This was much easier to accept.
"If you enter a big city, the state subsidies might not change, but the city subsidies will definitely be much lower. In fact, Shanghai and Beijing, two cities that don't lack basic personnel, will only provide subsidies for gold and above. Below gold, even if it's silver, they will only receive subsidies from the state."
"Forget it. I don't want to think that far ahead. 100 bottles of nutrition drinks will last me 10 days."
As his strength increased, Lin Yao consumed more and more resources. Of course, after using them, Lin Yao's speed of improving his strength also increased.
Putting everything else aside, an ordinary martial artist could condense one vital energy seed after consuming 10 bottles of nutrition drinks.
Lin Yao was even stronger. He only needed seven bottles and a day of sun to condense one vital energy seed.
'Seven bottles of nutrition drinks a day. These nutrition drinks can last me for about 15 days. As long as my body can keep up during these 15 days, I'll be able to condense 15 vital energy seeds … 15 vital energy seeds in half a month. This is the terrifying combination of training resources and talent!'
Without talent and nutrition drinks, an ordinary martial artist could only condense one vital energy seed a month by absorbing the turbid spirit energy in the city to cultivate. It would take more than a year to condense 15 vital energy seeds. The higher one's strength was, the greater the gap between people.
Of course, the premise that Lin Yao could improve quickly was that it was daytime. If it was cloudy or rainy, he would be at a loss.
'Speaking of which, since I awakened, there has been rain, but it has always been at night. It hardly rains during the day. I'm considered pretty lucky.'
While Lin Yao was sighing with emotion, Professor Li had already asked the laboratory to get ready. He asked Lin Yao to apply for leave tomorrow and report to the laboratory.
After the talent assessment, the crowd that had gathered because of Lin Yao was about to disperse. However, before leaving, Professor Li pulled Lin Yao back and said, "I just want to tell you that you have to go through hardships to become an outstanding person.
"I just want to tell you that you have to endure the most bitter of hardships to become an outstanding person. You are already blessed by the heavens with your thunder element talent. Don't give up your advantages because of your weakness."
The others were also looking at him encouragingly. This made Lin Yao understand that it would not be easy to stimulate his potential with thunder and lightning tomorrow.
Then, Lin Yao swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he heard Professor Li's instructions.
"Don't eat or drink anything when you come tomorrow. If you need to replenish your nutrition, you can use nutrition drinks instead. In short, come on an empty stomach if you don't want to embarrass yourself."
"I … I understand."
…
'I have a feeling that tomorrow won't be good.'
On the way to the orphanage, Lin Yao did not dare imagine the tragedy tomorrow. However, even though there was a slight fear in his heart, Lin Yao had no intention of giving up.
'Everything is bearable for the sake of strength.'
In order to strengthen his resolve, Lin Yao took out the cell phone in his hand and looked at the news on the Internet.
In addition to the trivial matters of mortals and the breakthroughs of certain powerhouses, there were also some shocking images on the news.
"An invisible monster entered Tianhai City and killed hundreds of people before being killed by the armed police. Tianhai City is now in a state of lockdown."
"There are newborn plant monsters near Wu Tiancheng that can split into spores and parasitize the human body. Now, 10,000 people have been infected. The national army has moved into Wu Tiancheng, and the mutated plants are being searched by the special forces …"
"A king-level lord in Japan has caused a natural disaster and is seeking international help …"
Shocking news had happened recently. Although the country had the army, the armed police, the Abnormal Ability Department, as well as dojos and high schools formed by the people, there were too many mystic realms connected to the Blue Planet, and too many monsters had entered this world. Furthermore, there were too many types of monsters, and their abilities were impossible to guard against. There was no way to stop the threat.
China was considered a good place. When a disaster occurred in a certain place, the country would mobilize support. Some small countries had completely fallen or could not hold on any longer and had sought international help.
"This is not a stable world."
