"Exchange for a Divine Descent Potion?"

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly flew wide open. If you’re talking about that, I’m not sleepy anymore.

Qiu Chan nodded. "Yes. You should know that exchanging for a Divine Descent Potion runs on internal applications and internal evaluations, and the evaluation standard is the contribution the applicant has made to the Federation. The greater the contribution, the higher the chance the application will be approved."

"Medals are proof of having made tremendous contributions to the Federation, and they are also the clearest form of quantification. The more medals you get, the greater the contribution you’ve proven."

"Based on this, the notion of ’exchanging medals for Divine Descent Potions’ came about."

Lin Chen asked in disbelief, "Don’t tell me this one medal can be traded for a Divine Descent Potion for me?"

"Of course not."

Qiu Chan explained to Lin Chen in detail, "There are three kinds of Federation medals. At their core they all commend contributions made to the Federation, but each has a different emphasis."

"The Warrior Medal emphasizes personal valor—for example, not fearing death on the battlefield, rescuing people in desperate situations, and so on. It is awarded to targets including Warriors, Military warriors, Patrol Guards, etc."

"The Star Sea Medal emphasizes grand-scale contributions—Star Domain Level feats of enormous merit. It is awarded to political officials, consortium leaders, theater Commanders, and so forth."

"The Enlightenment Medal emphasizes scientific breakthroughs, interstellar exploration, civilizational expansion, etc. It is awarded to scientific researchers, interstellar Explorers, and the like."

"The Divine War Department has a regulation: anyone who obtains any two medals can unconditionally receive one Divine Descent Potion."

"You have already received a Warrior Medal. If, at an appropriate time in the future, you can obtain another Warrior Medal, or a Star Sea Medal, you can directly obtain a Divine Descent Potion."

"In other words, you’ve already acquired half a Divine Descent Potion."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened. "Although I did save a few hundred people this time, the rescue wasn’t all my personal credit. Awarding a Warrior Medal to me directly—isn’t that a bit too much?"

He paused, then added, "Is it just because I saved the Star Core Leader’s daughter that they issued it specially?"

Qiu Chan said calmly, "This incident wasn’t a simple kidnapping; it was an extremely serious political incident. If those people had succeeded, it would have stirred up a huge storm and led to very serious political consequences."

"Although the Freedom Front lost in the Battle, became rebels, their leaders were captured, and their rank-and-file have been arrested or scattered, with so much Time already passed, they still have no lack of supporters. That’s also why they’ve been kept imprisoned all this time instead of being cleanly and completely executed."

"Your appearance saved those hostages, and the ability you displayed also made them wary. If you can quietly find hostages they hid so well, then even if they do rescue their people, would you be able to find them just as easily?"

"These potential factors make them be hesitant to attack the enemy for fear of hurting one’s loved ones. Otherwise, it’s just kidnapping—with their capabilities, how many people would they be unable to kidnap if they wanted to?"

Lin Chen was utterly astonished. "So besides saving people, I still have that kind of impact?"

Qiu Chan answered, "Yes. Your Combat Power isn’t the strongest, but your ability can be put to great use. Didn’t you see how Zhao Guangting tried to seize you the moment he learned who you were?"

"Once they had you, maybe they could force you to think of a way to help them rescue their people, and at the same time eliminate the Dangerous prospect of you tracking them down afterward. You’ve choked off their operational plans, so it really does count as a major contribution."

"Of course, you did rescue the Star Core Leader’s Child, and the Star Core Leader feels gratitude toward you. It’s perfectly normal that his attitude tilted on this matter. This doesn’t really count as a violation of procedure—though he does indeed have the authority to do this."

Lin Chen nodded. "All right. Didn’t expect to muddle my way into half a Divine Descent Potion."

Qiu Chan laughed. "Given your ability and your importance to Lost Ball 235, getting one Potion isn’t that hard. It’s just that you want to get Potions for your whole family—that’s going to be a bit difficult."

Lin Chen shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Qiu Chan’s assessment. "Important? Maybe a little. But the Federation finds it very hard to truly trust me. After all, in their eyes I’m ’wild and untamed,’ hard to bring to heel. If this hadn’t happened to be tied to the Star Core Leader this time, how could there be any chance of getting a medal?"

Qiu Chan was silent for two seconds, unable to refute him.

What Lin Chen said was the truth. He saw it very clearly, and Qiu Chan saw it just as clearly.

Precisely because of this, Qiu Chan had used her own special authority to bring Lin Chen into the Security Bureau. On one hand she did intend to make use of his abilities, but more importantly, she wanted to reassure Lin Chen, reduce the chances of something happening to him, and reduce the likelihood of Lin Chen ending up on the opposite side of the Federation.

Someone like Lin Chen—if pushed into a corner by someone—when he starts killing, he doesn’t care what your status is.

If that whole family of theirs really stood across from the Federation, it would bring immense Trouble.

"In any case, this is a good start. You’ve not only joined the Security Bureau, you’re also Xue Wenrui’s Master, and now you’ve gotten a medal. Who knows when you might pick up another one."

"You haven’t even reached the peak of Level 8 Martial Artist yet. It’s entirely possible you’ll obtain a Potion even faster..."

Leaving the Security Bureau, he returned home.

After hearing about Lin Chen receiving a medal, all the women were quite happy.

"Not bad. Once you snag another medal, you can exchange for a Divine Descent Potion. That Potion never fails a Promotion—it guarantees a one hundred percent breakthrough."

Gu Yuexi’s face was full of excitement. "Even if we temporarily can’t advance to Level 9, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can advance to Level 9, the effect is about the same. In the future, other Level 9 Martial Artists won’t dare to bully us casually."

Shang Wenyao nodded in agreement. "Yes. Even if only you advance to Level 9, people like Wei Bo Fei definitely wouldn’t dare treat us the way he did before."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s easy to say, but merit isn’t that easy to earn. Back then Zhang Zhongjiu almost lost his life just to get an opportunity at a Potion. And Zhao Guangting can use Wormhole Shift—at my current Strength, I still can’t stop One Knife from him..."

Nalan Wushuang said worriedly, "Since Qiu Chan said the rebels are wary of your Strength, and Zhao Guangting saw it with his own eyes, do you think they might make a move on us—capture us and then threaten us to make you work for them?"

Lin Chen frowned. He did indeed have this concern.

"Dajia should be careful in daily life. If anything feels off, just run first."

Lin Chen gave a bitter laugh. "The Federation does still have Tenth-level Martial Warriors. As formidable as Zhao Guangting is, I doubt he dares act recklessly. If a Tenth-level Martial Warrior really catches him, he probably won’t be able to handle it."

"There’s nothing we can do about this. We can only block soldiers with soldiers, floodwaters with earth dikes..."
