MEIWITA Chapter 825: Punishment and Reward

Lou Mu Yan and the others couldn’t guess his purpose for bringing them here alone either, so they sat down obediently.

After the several people sat down, a female officer came in with tea and poured them a cup each.

Yue Che picked up his teacup and took a sip, looking at the people with a half-smile and said: “Do you know why I called you all here today independently?”

“Don’t know.” The several people replied in unison.

“All six of you are the ones I chose to bet on.” Yue Che didn’t hide anything and said openly.

Besides Lou Mu Yan three and Shan Qing, Lou Mu Bai and the woman in green didn’t understand what he meant.

Of course, Lou Mu Yan and the others also pretended to be confused.

“After the opening of each Foreign Battlefield, all of you will participate in the trial battle, which is the training you experienced in the first three months, such as the Desert of Death.

“Then the Supreme Commanders of the red and black sides will jointly open a gambling joint, and all Senior Officers may bet on six people who entered the battlefield in their respective camps…”

He explained the general rules to them.

When entering the Foreign Battlefield, all the younger generations who participated in the war were divided into two waves, and their officers could choose three people in each wave, so Lou Mu Yan and the others were the six he chose.

As for Executive Officer Hong Lian, the six she chose were assigned to the Central Battlefield, and she would rush there soon too.

“Did Executive Officer Yue call us here today because you want us to step up advancing in military merits in the Western Battlefield?” After Yue Che finished speaking, Shan Qing thought for a while and asked.

Other than this reason, he really didn’t know what they had that could make Yue Che favour them.

“Yes, your minimum goal is to enter the top one hundred on the military merit rankings.” Yue Che rubbed his teacup and said with a smile: “Of course, Shan Qing is already ranked second in the overall military merit rankings, so it’s fine to maintain it.”

He knew that Na’lan Ze, who was number one, was a very difficult fellow, and was also a spy for the black camp lurking in the red camp, so he didn’t ask Shan Qing to compete with Na’lan Ze for first place.

“Executive Officer Yue, are you so confident in us?” Lou Mu Yan looked at Yue Che with a meaningful smile.

They actually accounted for four of the six people selected by this person. She didn’t know if he had other purposes.

“Since I have chosen the six of you, I have naturally considered all aspects, and I have great confidence in you all.” Yue Che said with a chuckle: “Even the goal I set for you lot isn’t just the top hundred, but the top thirty.”

“Then what if we can’t enter the top hundred in the military merit rankings?” Lou Mu Yan continued to ask.

“Then you can all remain on the Foreign Battlefield forever.” Yue Che’s expression remained unchanged, and his voice was still warm, but the words he said made people want to shudder.

The six people present didn’t ask him what it meant to remain in the Foreign Battlefield forever, but it definitely wasn’t a good thing either way.

Lou Mu Yan had heard about Yue Che ages ago from Jun Luo Chen, and wasn’t too surprised by what he said.

She pondered for a moment with sparkling eyes, then said with a smile: “Then if we can enter the top hundred in the end, will Executive Officer Yue give any rewards?”

Humph, this guy wanted them to do free labour for him—as if she’d let it go.

Although they said that they, themselves, had to obtain military merits as soon as possible, but she was still rather upset by being threatened. At the very least, she needed to let this guy spit out something to make up for it.

Neither Shan Qing nor the woman in green expected that Lou Mu Yan would make the request without authorisation, and they had to regard her with a high opinion in their hearts just for her boldness. After all, with Yue Che’s identity, they couldn’t refuse if he asked them.

Yue Che didn’t get angry when he heard Lou Mu Yan’s words, but laughed aloud, “You, girl, is a little fox who doesn’t suffer and losses.

“Since you will be punished if you fail to meet the requirements, then I will naturally reward you if you win.” Yue Che tossed six jade slips to them and said: “The specific rewards are all in the jade slip. As long as you meet the requirements, the greater the benefits.

“And even if I don’t bet on you, it’s impossible for you lot to give up military merits either. This is the best of both worlds.”

Lou Mu Yan scanned the contents of the jade slip, thinking that although Yue Che threatened them, but the rewards inside were indeed very tempting.

In particular, the rewards for ranking in the top three could be used as resources for advancing to an Immortal in the future. Few people could resist such temptation.

And it was just like what Yue Che said, even without his intervention, they’d still go obtain military merits. The only difference was that if they couldn’t enter the top hundred on the military merit rankings, their fate would be miserable.

“Then I’d like to thank Executive Officer Yue. We will strive towards the top twenty.” Lou Mu Yan’s face glowed with confidence.

Although their current ranking was below ten thousand, but the Western Battlefield was filled with enemy forces, and it wasn’t difficult to obtain military merits as long as they dared to think, do, and fight.

“Very good, I believe you all have such potential.” Yue Che was actually the most optimistic about Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu among the six—he found that their potential was very high.

Hong Lian didn’t care about Yue Che’s optimism about the six people. She never thought that he wouldn’t choose so many people with so many talents and potentials who entered the Foreign Battlefield, but actually chose four people from an intermediate-level interface, Guang’ling Word.

Besides thinking higher of Shan Qing, she didn’t think that anyone else could enter the top hundred on the military merit rankings, and entering the top twenty was more like a joke.

After more than half a year of comparisons, the overall strength of the red and black sides had been analysed by other senior officers.

This time, the overall strength of the red camp was stronger than that of the black camp, especially now that the red camp basically accounted for more than half among the top one hundred people on the military merit rankings, and the record of the black camp was actually a bit miserable.

Although the current ranking didn’t necessarily represent the future rankings, but judging from past situations, there weren’t many people who could make a change. Therefore, the three Supreme Commanders of the black camp this time were already very displeased.

“Thank you, Executive Officer Yue, for your optimism. Then can you open a back door for us?” Lou Mu Yan said with a rascal smile.

Yue Che looked at her in amusement, “Open what back door? If it’s too much, I won’t accept it.”

Hong Lian found that Lou Mu Yan, this girl, was really courageous. She actually kept haggling with Yue Che, this old fox. She rarely saw Yue Che in such a helpless manner.

“We don’t want to waste time on guarding the coalition base, can you not arrange us there?”

Lou Mu Yan had decided not to keep a low profile on the Western Battlefield, but to show her strengths instead. However, it wasn’t easy to enter into the top hundred from beyond ten thousand. She needed time.

“Sure, that’s not a problem” Yue Che was quite satisfied with Lou Mu Yan’s request.

Not everyone who entered the Foreign Battlefield had desire to make progress, and there were still a small number of people who would take advantage of the loopholes to be lazy and protect themselves.

Being assigned to guard the battlefield was actually a lifesaving method that could delay time, and some people would take the initiative to do it.
