Chapter 420 Exchange Office

"Hello, Mr. Tie?"

Luo Jun answered the phone, and Tie Jingang's deep voice came from the other end: "How was your rest these past two days? I heard that you went to a concert yesterday?"

"Teacher Tie is really well-informed. We had a very happy time on this rare holiday." Luo Jun said sincerely as he touched the treasure box.

"Don't just play around. The five-school exchange meeting is coming soon. We just had a meeting and decided that we must confirm the exchange candidates for our school before the end of this semester. We must seize the time to improve our strength."

"Five-school exchange meeting?"

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "What does that have to do with me?"

The so-called Five Schools Exchange Meeting is held every year. It is an exchange event for the five major explorer colleges in the country. It is usually held in the second half of the semester. Representatives are selected from each major school to exchange experiences and promote learning progress through various vitality-related competitions.

Of course, the above is the official statement. In fact, Qi training is closely related to personal physique. Mutual exchanges can indeed improve, but the effect is far less obvious than actual combat experience. So it is called an exchange meeting, but in fact it is a sports meeting plus a martial arts competition. Teams selected by major colleges and universities compete with each other through various events. Students try their best to show themselves. If they achieve good results, they will be valued by the Qi training association and win honor for their alma mater.

This kind of event would definitely select the strongest and most accomplished students in the academy to participate, there was no such thing as a guaranteed admission. Luo Jun's current realm was only the lower level of Pei Yuan Realm, let alone the seniors, there were many freshmen who were stronger than him, so it was impossible for him to get a chance.

"Don't underestimate yourself..." Tie Jingang encouraged: "Although your current realm is low, you have a strong ability to adapt to changes and a very good mentality. You can remain calm in times of crisis and turn the tide at critical moments. As long as you work hard, you can always improve your realm, but it is difficult to improve your combat wisdom and psychological quality..."

"There are still two months until the exchange meeting. I think you have a chance and you can fight for it."

"Wait..." Luo Jun was stunned for a moment: "More than two months? Isn't the exchange meeting held next semester?"

"It was like this in previous years." Tie Jingang explained, "But next year's Tianyuan Conference will be held again, and six recommendation quotas will be given to major explorer colleges at home and abroad. After research, these six quotas will eventually be determined at the International College Exchange Conference. And the quotas for the International College Exchange Conference will naturally be selected from the five-school exchange conference. The Tianyuan Conference is expected to be held in May next year, and the International College Exchange Conference must be completed before then, so the five-school exchange conference will naturally have to be advanced, and is temporarily scheduled for mid-February."

"Mid-February? Isn't that during the Chinese New Year?"

"It will be completed before the New Year. So these two months are your last preparation time, you must hurry up and improve your strength."

Luo Jun sighed after hearing this: "Teacher Tie, it's only been two months. No matter how hard I try, I can only reach one or two levels of Pei Yuan Realm at most. How can I possibly defeat so many masters of Ning Xin Realm?"

"It's definitely not enough to just rely on realm." Tie Jingang said: "But don't forget, you got a blessing in disguise last time because of the Long Hui incident. Your meridians were expanded and your energy capacity increased significantly!"

This was the excuse that Ailontan came up with for Luo Jun. In order to pave the way for the power that would be inadvertently revealed later, the high priest made up an ambiguous reason, saying that he didn't know what changes had taken place in his body and that his energy had increased several times compared to before.

Because of the special experience, although strengthening the meridians and improving the qi capacity are rare, there are precedents, so other people did not doubt it and were fooled by him.

"What's the use of high phosgene volume if you don't have the ability?"

"If you don't have your own abilities, can't you use external forces?" Tie Jingang said with a smile: "The most important event in the exchange meeting is the martial arts competition. The rules stipulate that the treasure box will be blocked on the field, but each contestant can take out three treasures in advance and bring them into the field for use after reporting."

"Of course, these three treasures must be verified and must be obtained from legitimate sources. Buying them on the black market or borrowing them from family elders just to get a rank is definitely not acceptable."

"From the right place...for example?" Luo Jun vaguely knew what Tie Jin was about to say.

"The most legitimate ones are naturally those obtained from Chaos Missions. In addition, official commendations for major meritorious service and redemption through merit points on the redemption platform also count..." Tie Jingang smiled and said, "Remember when we were in [Wulin], I said I would help you report your merits? Now that the process is complete and your account has been established, you can come and redeem treasures!"

Luo Jun thought that this was truly a case of misfortunes never coming alone, and blessings never come singly. He had just finished counting the treasures he had obtained, and now another one was delivered to his door... If Tie Jingang hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about it.

"Exchange platform? Where can I exchange it?" Luo Jun was so excited that he couldn't help rubbing his hands together.

"You can browse the menu normally online, but the treasure is not like ordinary express delivery. You still need to go to the branch headquarters to pick it up. As for your account, since I helped you set it up, you need to bind your forum account. There is a special exchange place in the academy. It is above the Chaos Mission area in the laboratory building. You can come directly."

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Jun packed up his things and headed towards the laboratory building.

At the same time, on the other side of the earth, in Mount Tai, at the summit of Mount Dynaso, the headquarters of the Hell Creek Family.

Inside a huge dome-shaped chamber in the mountain, several people in protective suits were standing by a huge pool, stirring the liquid in the pool with an unknown long-pole instrument.

The pool was filled with a sticky blood-colored liquid, which was slowly churning as it was stirred. From time to time, a huge bubble would emerge. After it exploded, the foam would fall on the rocky ground outside the pool, and a wisp of white smoke would rise.

Suddenly, the door of the secret room opened, and a tall, straight, and stern middle-aged woman with blonde hair strode in, surrounded by several people in protective suits. When several people in protective suits working by the blood pool saw her, they immediately put down the stirring rods in their hands and knelt in front of the old woman.

"Get up." The woman waved her hand, and several people immediately stood up and went back to work. Then, the old man came to the blood pool, lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at it, raised his hand and gently hooked it, and several protective suits came up behind him, holding several naked and unconscious white men, came to the blood pool, and pushed them down.

The moment several people entered the pool, their bodies began to make hissing sounds due to the intense corrosion, but these people had already lost consciousness and did not struggle at all. They allowed the red liquid to corrode their flesh and bones and quickly melted into the pool of blood.

After a moment, the blood pool churned violently. The people around, even in protective clothing, still retreated in fear. Only the blonde woman still stood by the pool, overlooking the surging blood pool. Even if blood droplets splashed on her, they would be blocked by the condensed aura and would not touch her body at all.

Soon, the blood pool stopped surging, and a huge tumor slowly emerged from it. The tumor floated to the shore, and suddenly, a bulge appeared on it, and then it burst. Two hands stretched out from it and tore the tumor to both sides.

Inside the tumor was a naked man with blond hair. He looked exactly like Nikolai who had been killed by Luo Jun!
Nikolai stepped on the tumor floating in the pool of blood and came to the shore. When he saw the woman's face, he was slightly stunned and then knelt down.

"Meet Elder Caroline..."

The woman nodded slightly: "I heard from Lessard that you were sent to Zhendan?" Nikolai nodded: "Yes... It was a really humiliating experience."

"The only meaning of shame is to motivate yourself and avoid making the same mistake again." Elder Caroline snorted coldly: "Old Rex has convened an elders meeting, and everyone is waiting to hear your experience."

Caroline said as she waved her hand and the person behind her took a set of clothes.

"No thanks." Nicholas waved his hand to refuse, raised his hand and a delicate bracelet appeared on his wrist. Then he touched it with his hand, pulled out a coat and put it on, then followed Elder Caroline out of the secret room.

…………

"so much?!"

In the experimental building of Ningdong College, Luo Jun stood in front of the terminal on the third floor, browsing the exchange platform and expressed his sincere admiration.

Just now, he had completed the account binding under the guidance of Tie Jingang. According to the merits reported by Tie Jingang for him, it was finally calculated as two Class A merits, two Class B merits and seven Class C merits.

Normally, after completing an internship in another world, students will be awarded one to five Class C merits based on their performance, and the rest should be additional merits for their outstanding performance.

That Class A merit should be the reward for calming down the Yaowang Valley incident. This reminded Luo Jun that Song Yi had given him a merit voucher before, which recorded an Class A merit, so he exchanged it as well.

After doing such a big thing, he only got two Class A awards, and he was only given one after being locked up in the solitary confinement room for one day. It seems that the dean really took good care of him at the beginning under the instruction of the master.

At this point, Luo Jun has three Class A merits.

"Once you have chosen your reward, just submit it for redemption, and then go to the local Yuan Xiu Hui branch on the designated day to pick it up. If you are in the academy, you can come here directly to pick it up. If you are in the city, you have to go to the branch underground at the Victory Chocolate Factory to pick it up."

Luo Jun nodded and swept his finger across the touch screen. One by one, the treasures and detailed special effects descriptions flashed before his eyes, allowing him to choose.

There are a wide variety of treasures, and the prices for exchange are also different. Generally speaking, ordinary, excellent, rare, and epic basically correspond to the four levels of merit, namely, Class D, Class C, Class B, and Class A. It just depends on how much is consumed.

However, because treasures of the same grade have different functions, practicality, and effects, this correspondence is not absolute.

For example, Luo Jun had seen that, of the same rare-grade treasures, one required two B-grade merits, while the other only required four C-grade merits to exchange.

Another point is that merits can be broken down downwards but cannot be combined upwards.

In the descriptions of many treasures, in addition to the original price, there will also be a compatible price.

For example, the treasure that requires four C-level merits is marked on it, and it can also be exchanged for one B-level plus one C-level. In other words, one B-level can replace three C-levels.

But on the other hand, if you need a B-grade Noble Phantasm, you can't exchange it with three C-grade ones. As for the effect, generally speaking, the effect of a B-grade Noble Phantasm is obviously stronger than that of three C-grade ones.

Therefore, merits of different levels cannot be exchanged with each other at a ratio of three to one. Merits of higher levels can be exchanged for stronger treasures. Without special circumstances, no one will separate high-level merits to exchange for low-level treasures.

As for the legendary-level treasures... Luo Jun didn't see them in the exchange menu. According to Tie Jingang, legendary-quality treasures cannot be made by equipment refiners. The only way to obtain them is to achieve a perfect rating in a Class A mission, or to complete an extremely difficult hidden mission.

It has been estimated before that there are only a few hundred people in Zhendan who participate in Class A missions all year round. Anyone who can get three perfect evaluations can be promoted to the special class. There are only about two hundred participants in special class missions in the world, and half of them are at the peak or even at the advanced level. Those who can do missions with these people are basically the world's top masters.

Therefore, most of the A-level players may have been stuck at this level for many years and have never received a perfect evaluation, let alone a legendary treasure. You know, the opponent Zhuge Lang that Luo Jun met last time was a serious top master. If he could be stuck at A-level, what about others?

Therefore, looking at the A-level tasks of Zhendan, it is considered high productivity to produce one legendary item in a month. Even if they get it, most people will hide it in a treasure box as a trump card and never let others know about it, let alone sell it to the association.

Therefore, legendary treasures on the exchange platform are extremely rare. Even if they are occasionally put on the shelves, they will be snapped up in an instant and are almost never seen.

Of course, Luo Jun’s goal is not to become a legend. Although he has three Class A ones, they are probably not enough to exchange for a legendary one. So he should set his goal on becoming an epic.

Most epic artifacts require one A-grade merit. The more expensive ones may require one or two C-grade merits. The cheaper ones can be obtained with two or three C-grade merits, but their attributes are generally rubbish. In Luo Jun's eyes, they can only be regarded as large rare items.

However, if he really attends the exchange meeting as Luo Jun, then the epic and legendary items in his hands are basically useless. Either they are Ye's signature equipment, which would reveal his identity, or they are obtained by killing and robbing, which cannot be seen in public... Even if no one has seen them, their origins cannot be explained, so he still needs to exchange them for something practical...

Luo Jun flipped through the books and finally saw a treasure that dazzled his eyes.

Name: Heinlein's Left Arm
Level: Epic

Introduction: A part of a powerful weapon lost in an interstellar battlefield. Although it is separated from the main body, its modular structure allows it to still use most of its functions by consuming vitality. If other parts of the weapon can be found, perhaps the complete function can be restored.

Function 1: Nanotechnology: This treasure is made of nano-memory material, which can change its appearance to a certain extent, and can also recover from damage by absorbing vitality.

Function 2: Psionic Shield: The shield generator at the wrist can generate a one-way psionic shield to block frontal attacks. The psionic shield is driven by the energy stored in the generator and can store up to fifty breaths of energy. The shield can be activated at any time without additional consumption. However, if it is damaged or consumed by an attack, it will absorb energy at a rate of one breath per second at most to repair itself when it is put away.

Function three: Energy Shells: After charging, you can shoot energy shells to attack the enemy remotely. Charging takes one second, and activation consumes ten breaths of energy. It has a cooldown of fifteen seconds and can be used when the psychic shield is opened.

Note: Stand behind me, I’m going to cum!
