Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 51 Eligibility
After hearing about the rewards of the God of War Tournament, Li Jiu's heart was pounding, but unlike other mercenaries, he was not interested in the so-called honorary rewards. What he was interested in was the money and merit points given by the God of War Tournament.
Because Li Jiu is a very down-to-earth person, he doesn't like to play with empty things. In his opinion, the rewards of money and military merit points can directly improve his material living standards. In comparison, honorary titles and honorary equipment seem a bit superficial, and are simply to satisfy the vanity of some people.
However, in his excitement, Li Jiu neglected one thing: how could the honor titles and honor equipment that could drive the alliance mercenaries crazy be just in vain?
However, for him, even without the honor title and honor equipment, just the money and merit points rewards given by the competition are enough to attract him to participate.
However, just when Li Jiu was excited, he suddenly remembered a piece of information he heard from other mercenaries this morning. It seemed that only teams with captains with a rank of second lieutenant or above were eligible to participate in the group selection competition...
If he remembered correctly, Captain Kachi's rank seemed to be only a sergeant... In other words, they were not even qualified to participate in the regiment's selection.
And if they don't even have the qualifications to participate in the group trials, then it's even more impossible for them to represent the Night Rose Mercenary Group to participate in the God of War Tournament...
In this case, no matter how tempting the rewards of the God of War Tournament are, he can only worry in the base.
"Captain, does the God of War Contest require that the captain must be a second lieutenant or above in order to participate?" Li Jiu asked with a glimmer of hope, wanting to confirm the information.
"That's right. Only teams with captains with ranks above second lieutenant are eligible to sign up for the God of War Tournament. Therefore, the selection competition within our mercenary group also requires ranks above second lieutenant." Kaqi grabbed the bottle and took a sip. After a moment of silence, she said with a hint of apology in her eyes, "I'm sorry, my current rank is still a sergeant, so our fifth team will not be able to participate..."
Kaqi is an introverted girl who is not good at expressing her feelings. Although she still has a cold expression on her face, the fact that she can say the word "sorry" already shows that she feels very guilty because it is because of her that everyone is unable to participate in the God of War Tournament.
"Haha, captain, don't say that. It's just a crappy competition. If we can't participate, then we don't. I don't want to participate, right, Lei Zi?" As a woman, Bella knew Kaqi quite well. She knew that Kaqi was probably not in a good mood at the moment, so she smiled and comforted her. At the same time, she looked at Lei Zi, meaning that Kaqi should stop smoking and drinking and say something comforting.
"Yeah, yeah, that's right. If you can't participate, then don't participate. It's no big deal." Lei Zi was drinking. When he heard Bella's words, he immediately put the bottle down, nodded vigorously, smiled, and then continued to drink with a nonchalant look on his face...
Speaking of which, the reason why Bella and Lei Zi acted so calm was, firstly, because it was their first time to learn about the God of War Contest, and they were not yet clear about how much benefit this contest could bring to them.
The second reason is that in their opinion, even if the fifth team can participate in the internal selection, it is difficult for them to win and represent the Night Rose Mercenary Group in the district audition. Because they are very familiar with the situation of the Night Rose Mercenary Group, and know that the overall strength of the fifth team is not the best in the Night Rose Mercenary Group.
So for them, it didn't make much difference whether they participated or not. Even if they participated in the trials, they would basically lose, so it was better not to participate, so as to avoid being laughed at after losing...
However, Li Jiu did not think so. He frowned slightly, smoked silently, and had a pensive expression on his face.
Bella couldn't help but frown when she saw Li Jiu's expression. She thought to herself, this guy is really a jerk. Didn't he hear the captain apologize? You jerk is still frowning and looking unhappy. Are you complaining that you can't participate in the competition because your captain's rank is not high enough?
At the same time, Kaqi looked at Li Jiu's expression and had similar thoughts to Bella, so she couldn't help but feel a sore nose and a slight redness in the corners of her eyes...
However, they were wrong. With Li Jiu's character, he would never blame anyone when encountering problems. He would only try his best to find ways to solve the problems!
"Inhale...exhale..." Li Jiu smoked a cigarette, his thoughts racing.
In Li Jiu's opinion, as long as he could qualify for the competition, relying on his familiarity with the combat mode here and his identity as the only awakened person in the mercenary group, it would not be impossible for him to lead the fifth team to break out of the Night Rose Mercenary Group.
Even if they were to make it to the league finals, there was still a glimmer of hope...
"Captain, can I ask, how many merit points do you need to be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant? Also, how long will it take for the regiment's selection to begin?" After thinking for a while, Li Jiu looked up at Kaqi and asked.
Kaqi was stunned for a moment, then she thought about it and quickly understood what Li Jiu meant.
"You want to ask me if I can be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant before the selection?" Kaqi asked back.
"Yes, that's right." Li Jiu nodded and smiled slightly.
"It's impossible." Kaqi shook her head and said helplessly, "My current merit points are 250,000. To be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, I still need 50,000 merit points. And the group's selection will officially begin in ten days. During these ten days, we can only accept one mission at most. Even if I accept a C-level high-difficulty mission, I can only get 2,000 merit points at most, which is not enough."
After hearing this, Li Jiu looked a little disappointed, but it quickly disappeared.
"Inhale...exhale..." Then he took another puff of his cigarette and continued thinking.
Since this method doesn't work, let's think of another way.
In Li Jiu's opinion, this God of War Contest is a key stepping stone for his rise in this world, and he needs a qualification to participate!
Therefore, he will never give up easily unless there is absolutely no other way out.
However, as far as he knew, there seemed to be only one way for mercenaries to improve their ranks, and that was to go on missions and gain merit points...
Therefore, after learning that he could not raise Kaqi , Li Jiu could not help but feel a headache. For a while, he could not think of a good way to allow the fifth team to participate in the group selection competition...
"Little Leo, stop looking so sad. I'm here to celebrate with you today." Bella looked at Li Jiu's frowning expression, glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, then smiled charmingly and said, " Come on, Little Leo, sister will take you to dance."
As Bella spoke, she stretched out her white and tender little hand to Li Jiu and made an inviting gesture. At the same time, she glanced at the dance floor in the middle of the hall, indicating Li Jiu to follow her.
Li Jiu was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised. He didn't expect Bella to suddenly invite him.
but……
I can't even dance!
Besides, he was currently thinking hard about how to qualify for the God of War Contest, and he had no mood to dance...
"Beauty, well... I can't dance, so I'd better not go..." Li Jiu smiled awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed. After all, he knew that the girl had invited him actively, and it would be a bit impolite to reject her like this.
"Hehe, little Leo, it's okay. Sister will teach you." Facing Li Jiu's refusal, Bella was not displeased. Instead, she giggled and continued to invite him.
Bella's enthusiasm made Li Jiu helpless. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Beauty, don't do it. I really don't have any artistic talent and I can't learn that thing at all..."
Hearing Li Jiu's refusal again, Bella finally got angry, her face darkened, and she snorted, "Humph! Forget it, I don't even want to dance with you!"
Then she turned to look at Lei Zi, only to see that this guy was sipping a bottle of wine worth six thousand dollars, looking intoxicated. So she said unhappily, "Lei Zi, let's go and dance!"
"Ah! What... Hey, hey, don't be so rough, don't pull, my clothes are torn, I can walk by myself..."
