# Chapter 1099: Speak! How Much Do You Want?
At this moment, Jiangnan had undoubtedly become the focus of the entire venue!
The audience in the stadium felt goosebumps all over their bodies!
"Nanshen is only what, 22? And already at Junior Marshal level? Should be the youngest Junior Marshal in the country, right?"
"Others are still in school at 22, and Nanshen is already a Junior Marshal?"
"Uh... it's not like Nanshen isn't in school either!"
Only then did everyone remember that Jiangnan was still a student at the Pioneer Academy!
Except that he spent half of every semester out wandering around!
"Speaking of which, Nanshen is about to become a sophomore, right? It's time for the annual recruitment season again!"
"Hehe, I've already gotten an interview qualification for the Nursing Home. Maybe I'll have the chance to become Nanshen's schoolmate!"
"What the heck? Isn't the Pioneer Nursing Home only recruiting once every three years?"
Someone looked confused, while that girl was extremely excited!
(乛ε乛*) "You don't know, do you? I heard the Pioneer Nursing Home has been rebuilt and expanded!"
"And because of what happened in the Western Frontier this time, they urgently need a lot of talent. They've already reformed the recruitment system, changing from once every three years to once a year!"
"It's open to all Spirit Martial high schools and universities nationwide! As long as you have outstanding performance and exceptional talent, you're eligible to receive an invitation!"
"Because of Nanshen and his team's excellent performance, the interview slots are completely flooded!"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. This was the first time they'd heard about this!
But Jiangnan, who had been wandering outside for over two months, had no idea about this news!
He was still happily enjoying himself over there!
However, Di Rui's awarding ceremony for Jiangnan wasn't over yet!
"Due to Jiangnan's outstanding performance, it has been decided to award him the Jinglong Talisman! To be placed under his command!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in uproar. Even the Dragon Abyss Dark Night members behind him widened their eyes!
The Jinglong Talisman?
That was a military talisman even higher in rank than the Zhelong Talisman!
It could mobilize the Spirit Martial forces stationed in an entire province—a right so huge it was terrifying!
What does "Jinglong" mean?
When the dragon talisman appears, even wind and clouds are startled!
Jinglong has been dormant, but one roar shakes a thousand mountains!
Jiangnan's Junior Marshal position was no decoration—it was the real deal!
Di Rui smiled as he stepped forward and took out the Jinglong Talisman!
On it were not only the eyes of the Red Dragon and the Night, but also a roaring angry tiger behind the dragon talisman!
"Here! Give me back the Zhelong Talisman, and this new one is yours!"
Jiangnan was a bit embarrassed. The Zhelong Talisman hadn't even warmed up in his pocket yet, and it was already being exchanged?
(๑ớ～ờ) "This... isn't the authority a bit too much? I don't need it. Having a small one is enough!"
Di Rui laughed heartily: "It's not too much. You can handle it. If you're given it, just take it!"
"Good kid! Come to my place sometime and play chess with me!"
Jiangnan had no choice but to exchange the Zhelong Talisman for the Jinglong Talisman and stuff it into his pocket!
He couldn't help but snicker
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "I'll be there!"
As long as my phone doesn't run out of battery, I'll beat you a thousand times at chess!
Di Rui patted Jiangnan's shoulder in satisfaction, then went to award the others one by one!
Meanwhile, Yang Jian followed behind, pinning small medals on Jiangnan!
Jiangnan twisted his body, full of pride!
(ಡ3ಡ˵) "Pin it on my right side. Ah, the left side is already full. Can't be helped!"
"What can I say? I'm just too outstanding!"
Yang Jian rolled his eyes: "Take away the 'outstanding' part. You actually brought that island here? Hurry up and move it away after this!"
"About this time's Spirit Pearls..."
Jiangnan froze, then looked troubled, his eyes full of vigilance!
(￣～￣‧̣̥̇) "Speak! How much do you want? I don't have that many either. I've only saved up a tiny bit..."
Yang Jian: ???
Good grief? This time he didn't even ask me?
You have so many Spirit Pearls that you're afraid I'll ask you for them?
Just how many Spirit Pearls did you scoop up into your pocket in the Western Frontier?
It wasn't really Jiangnan's fault. First, he had looted the Brahma Society's treasure vault, and then he had picked up plenty following his good big boy!
To be honest, even Jiangnan himself didn't know what his net worth was right now!
(◕ˇ◡ˇ◕) "Oh wow! That's actually pretty great! Since you're not short on them, I won't bother!"
Besides, he really didn't have anything else to give. The Space-type Spirit Pearls he currently had were all brought back by Jiangnan!
Jiangnan's eyes widened, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. So he wasn't here to ask for Spirit Pearls?
Tsk... I kind of feel like I lost out!
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue and the others were also receiving their Lightchaser small medals!
Even Xiao Jiuwo, Xiong Er, and the Little Rabbit Bastard were given small medals!
Liu Mang was in tears. What the brothers said was right—following Nanshen really does get you small medals!
The suffering wasn't for nothing!
Right now, Zhang San was rubbing his hands together, already unable to wait!
(ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ωᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)人
Imagining himself wearing medals, it would be bringing honor to his ancestors!
Who would dare call me an outlaw from now on?
Seeing Di Rui and Yang Jian approach Zhang San!
Zhang San puffed out his chest, stood at attention, and saluted!
∠(｀ω´*)
Di Rui scratched his head, looked around, and then silently walked toward Li Si!
୧(◞⁼̴～⁼̴)
Zhang San: ∠(꒪口꒪*) ???
"Huh? What about mine? You haven't given me mine yet!"
"I followed through the whole process, didn't miss a single place, and even went to block the Lingxu Gate! I made contributions too!"
But Di Rui turned a deaf ear and, with a smile on his face, pinned a small medal on Li Si!
Li Si kept glancing sideways, unsure whether he should remind the Chief Commander that he had missed someone!
He looked conflicted and was about to speak!
But Di Rui patted Li Si on the shoulder: "Good job!"
Then he went to award Mu Wan!
Zhang San looked wronged!
(｡•́⌓ก̀｡) "Forget not paying wages, I'll pay myself. But you can't leave out my small medal!"
"For the sake of planting the vine, I kissed a man for over half a month!"
However, Di Rui simply couldn't hear him. Zhang San got anxious and chased after Di Rui, poking his shoulder, hand outstretched!
Small medal (๑꒦ິ口꒦ີ)つ(◞ˊ～ˋ)唔~
But Di Rui still ignored him!
In the end, he had no choice but to grab Di Rui by the back of his collar!
Di Rui couldn't move and frowned!
ˀ̣ˀ̣(◞･᷄Д･᷅) "I feel like something is grabbing the back of my neck?"
Yang Jian mused: "Could your old rheumatism be acting up again? You should go get a checkup later!"
Zhang San: !!!
Turn around and look at me! I want my small medal!
At this moment, even Jiangnan couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhang San, who was wearing a gold chain!
This was too tragic!
Third Brother really put in a lot of effort. At least this time, he had to get it sorted!
So he called out: "Third Brother! Here, wear this hat!"
As he spoke, he tossed a Forgiveness Hat over to Zhang San!
Catching the Forgiveness Hat, Zhang San was deeply moved. It had to be my Nanshen!
He knew to think of his brothers!
So he quickly put on the hat, plucked off the green grass from his head, and instantly Zhang San became the center of attention!
He shouted loudly: "Report, Chief Commander! You left me out!"
"My name is Zhang San, belonging to the Dragon Abyss Brigade of the Western Frontier Forward Base!"
Di Rui turned back, startled, and smiled kindly: "Sorry, sorry. I'll award you now!"
Only then did he pin two small medals onto Zhang San!
Zhang San was incredibly satisfied. Looking at the small medals on his chest, his heart melted!
He treated them like treasures, breathed on them, wiped them, and beamed with pride!
It was just like Wang Yousheng's "smug face" gif!
But the surrounding Dragon Abyss Dark Night members, including the over a hundred thousand spectators, were all looking at Zhang San with strange eyes!
"He actually interrupted the Chief Commander's award ceremony? Ahhh! So infuriating!"
"Look at how smug he is. I really want to punch him in the face!"
"Yeah! Slap him hard with big slaps to vent. And he's even breathing on them? I'm so mad!"
Countless gazes shot toward him like knives!
Since it was an award ceremony, no one dared to move. But once it ended...
Jiangnan shivered!
Oh no!
How could he have forgotten about this?
(‧̣̥̇˃᷄﹏˂᷅‧̣̥̇)
My Third Brother used the Forgiveness Hat in an international stadium with over a hundred thousand people?
After this, wouldn't he get beaten to death by the crowd?
The price of getting a small medal was way too high, wasn't it?
"Third Brother! Don't worry about anything! As soon as the award ceremony is over, run! Or someone will die!"
But Zhang San was completely immersed in the pleasure of being watched!
Look!
With my small medals on, so many people are staring at me intently!
This is my moment of glory!
This will probably be the only time in my life, right?
I can die without regrets!
Jiangnan covered his face. Don't be so happy over there. This really is the only time. You won't have a future after this!
At this moment, Jiangnan looked around the venue, constantly searching for a certain figure he wanted to see!
But he didn't find her!
So he asked the distant Tie Niu: "Where's Sister Shanmiao? Why didn't she come?"
Tie Niu was also a bit puzzled: "She was originally here, but she had to leave temporarily for something. She said she needed to go home!"
Jiangnan was stunned. Couldn't she wait even a moment for the award ceremony?
He was planning to find Sister Shanmiao for a meal later and give her some Spirit Pearls to use!
Soon the award ceremony ended, and the reporters swarmed toward Jiangnan like a tidal wave!
But Jiangnan wasn't the most popular. At this moment, the surrounding Dragon Abyss Dark Night members, including the audience outside the field, all rushed toward Zhang San with a roar!
Rolling up their sleeves and baring their arms!
How could Jiangnan bear to watch Zhang San get beaten?
He teleported in an instant, grabbed Zhang San, and brought him to the Floating Island with a rapid teleport!
"Third Brother! Hide here for now. Once the grass grows back... ah, what the hell? You dare to smile?"
He raised his fist and "bang!" slammed it into Zhang San's eye socket, sending him flying hundreds of meters away!
Zhang San: (ﾉ)◉口ʘ̆)!!!
"You couldn't bear to watch others beat me, so you decided to do it yourself?"
Jiangnan quickly closed his eyes!
(︶﹏︶‧̣̥̇)ﾉ "N-no, sorry. Couldn't help it. Don't worry, the Sky Island is absolutely safe. No one can see you!"
With that, he quickly teleported down, not daring to stay any longer!
Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief. Brother Nan really comes through in a pinch!
But just then, Zhang San felt a chill down his spine!
Seven or eight hundred Pocket Rabbits suddenly teleported into the scene, surrounding Zhang San!
Their eyes were glowing red!
(ꐦ͡’ᴥ͡’) "Bunny babies! In the past, we were beaten by beasts. Why can't we beat him for fun now?"
"Yeah, yeah! So infuriating!"
Zhang San: ???
"Hey... don't you..."
But the teleporting Pocket Rabbits were something Zhang San couldn't defend against!
The Sky Island erupted with booming sounds, accompanied by Zhang San's screams!
[From Zhang San, Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Zhang San...]
Jiangnan, surrounded by reporters and the audience, looked confused!
I clearly helped Third Brother avoid a beating. Why is he still resenting me?
(•̌～•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ How strange!
