Chapter 1280: Chapter 735: Nüwa Mends the Heavens! The Main Quest of the Mortal World?!

Yang Yuelian felt a tightness in her chest, gently lifting his head, while Meng Chuan grabbed his phone and sat up.

Principal Sui had mentioned, asking him to check the national system today, as something significant was happening.

Meng Chuan’s heart was quite expectant.

At the top, the notification bar kept popping up with unread message alerts.

Scrolling down to check, there were both system prompts congratulating him on advancing to the ’Final Battle’ and many messages from national talents and martial arts grandmasters offering their congratulations.

Meng Chuan sent out a group thank you message with one click, then filtered the information to check the messages from the nation.

Yang Yuelian also sat up, their heads coming together to look at the screen.

[In early March, Great Chu and Meili Jian had preliminary diplomatic talks on the Demon Nest issue before the world summit.

The two parties reached multiple consensuses on jointly addressing the Demon Nest threat. The talks were remarkably successful, establishing a joint defense mechanism and intelligence-sharing framework, paving the way for...]

"Wow!"

Meng Chuan heard his girlfriend exclaim, and when their eyes met, they both saw the joy in each other’s eyes.

"Meili Jian is pretty sensible, has some perspective."

Yang Yuelian smiled with her brows and eyes bent.

Meng Chuan nodded, boldly guessing:

"I would assume the talks weren’t easy; our country likely used some tactics, considering those Americans are notoriously difficult to deal with..."

"That’s true, huh?"

The two continued to read on.

[The Great Chu Ministry of Defense announced that the new military branch "Resistance Army" is officially established and recruiting nationwide from today.

To effectively address the Demon Nest threat and enhance ground clearance capabilities, the Great Chu Ministry of Defense recently approved the establishment of a new combat unit — the Resistance Army.

This force will serve as the elite ground troops under the direct jurisdiction of the four towns, responsible for actively clearing Demon Nests, sweeping Demon Path strongholds, and hunting high-threat Celestial Demons that stray from Demon Nests, to alleviate the long-term defensive pressure on each city’s Defense Army.

Early formation of the Resistance Army sincerely invites national talents to enlist, offering officer-level treatment and the rank of major after 18 months of service. Recruits will undergo special martial arts combat training, equipped with advanced weaponry, and will enjoy national special resource support, including divine techniques, divine weapons resources, and special promotion channels.

The registration channel is now open through the national talent system.]

[...]

After reading the latest news on the national system, Meng Chuan’s face showed a contemplative look.

Overall, these news reports are about celebrating achievements and announcing a series of important measures that Great Chu will be taking next.

As for matters directly related to him, they indeed have a considerable impact as Principal Sui had mentioned.

Yang Yuelian held her phone and reread the news about the establishment of the Resistance Army, lowering her head and asking:

"Chuan’Er, when Lu Ang called you last night, he was talking about this matter, wasn’t he?"

"Probably correct."

Meng Chuan nodded, his hands starting to get restless again...

Yang Yuelian shrank back a bit, complaining:

"We’re talking about serious matters here, don’t move."

Only then did Meng Chuan withdraw his exploring hands, and then said seriously:

"I’ve thought it through—joining the Resistance Army isn’t suitable for me. I’ll let Lu Ang know later, apologies."

Last night, he had received Lu Ang’s call.

On the call, what Lu Ang mentioned wasn’t as clear-cut as the news. He simply invited him to join the ’new force’ that was about to be formed in the Northern Lands.

He began by promising him the position of deputy commander of San Qin, with the rank of colonel upon enlistment.

Just the annual salary alone, he offered him the staggering price of five thousand special combat merits, which is equivalent to increasing the salary for a deputy commander in a normal provincial position by an additional 20%.

This didn’t even include the allowances awarded after missions!

The conditions were so generous that, truth be told, Meng Chuan almost agreed on the spot...

Lu Ang clearly valued him highly, offering him conditions that were far better than the system’s recruitment conditions for national talents.

Yet, after careful consideration, he still decided to graciously decline, which was what he had been thinking about since last night.

After all, the school’s research institute was almost built, and if he chose not to be a teacher and instead became a soldier, that wouldn’t make sense...

Once, Meng Chuan fantasized about a military career.

But in light of the actual circumstances, he ultimately decided it wasn’t suitable for him.

Breaking Four was not far off, and upon transcending the martial arts grandmaster body Gang Transformation, he would frequently transcend the worldly realm.

He would search for his master and explore opportunities.

Joining the Resistance Army, if he vanished during combat missions, would clearly be unacceptable...

Yang Yuelian brought a plate of fruits to the bedside cabinet, took a toothpick to pick up the sweetest honeydew core from the plate and handed it to him, asking:

"So have you decided to stay at United University?"

Meng Chuan chewed the honeydew, earnestly replying:

"Yes, staying at the school and the martial arts hall is more suitable for my future development. If the nation needs me, I can quickly respond, and it’s more flexible.

Additionally, Principal Yang and Principal Sui’s mentorship has been so kind to me, I can never fully repay Northern United University..."

Yang Yuelian laughed:

"Whatever you decide, I support you."

Meng Chuan contemplated:

"The restructuring of the Resistance Army involves a wide scope; perhaps there may be other opportunities, after all, the army seeks to recruit national talents like us, who have ’forces’ behind us and won’t enlist easily.

I think... if my decision-makers might set up special ’positions’ for people like us, or perhaps offer cooperation options, such as national missions, etc."

After speaking, he gazed at his beautiful girlfriend, pursing his lips as his gaze gradually became dangerous...

Food and lust go hand in hand.

...

Another battle commences!

Four hours later, Meng Chuan went alone to the Global Martial Arts Association, entering the training room from his last seclusion.

A free treasure spot—is wasted if not used.
