Chapter 203

Wang Hui smiled, and a metal box materialized in his palm, which he handed over.

"A reward?"

With doubt, Zhou Yi took the box.

The metal box was an overall deep blue, and its surface was engraved with an Eastern Dragon pattern representing the national emblem of Zhongxia Nation.

It reflected the light under the sun, brimming with a technological texture.

Opening the metal box, a golden medal stood upright at the center of the box.

The medal was about the size of a child's palm, and the side facing Zhou Yi was carved with a sharp sword, surrounded by blooming flowers.

"Am I seeing things? This is a Medal of Honor?!"

"Holy crap?! What's going on?! This isn't just a Medal of Honor—it's the Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal, representing the highest honor!"

When Principal Wang Hui handed over the metal box, quite a few new students, including Jiang Churan, had already cast curious glances over.

Upon seeing the medal, they instantly showed expressions of disbelief!!

The metal box with the Eastern Dragon pattern representing Zhongxia Nation, coupled with the exquisite sword and flower carvings on the medal.

Without a doubt, this was a Contribution Medal representing the supreme honor!!

And it was the highest-grade Gold Contribution Medal!!

"A Gold Contribution Medal—back in the day, my grandfather fought on the front lines for decades, and all he finally received was a Bronze Contribution Medal!!"

The group of new students was practically going crazy.

Contribution Medals are only awarded to professionals who have made tremendous contributions to Zhongxia Nation.

What exactly did Zhou Yi do?

How could he possibly obtain such an exceedingly rare and uncommon Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal?!!!

PS: Begging for flowers, votes, monthly tickets or rush-update tickets are all fine, thanks for everyone's support!!!.

On the etiquette platform.

The group of new students who had been selected all stared fixedly at the metal box in Zhou Yi's hand.

More specifically, they were staring at the golden medal inside the box.

The sword and flowers represent the Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal for making significant contributions to Zhongxia Nation!!

If such a medal appeared on Principal Wang Hui himself, they wouldn't feel any surprise.

But instead, this medal was solemnly handed to Zhou Yi!!

"Brother Zhou Yi......"

Jiang Churan's beautiful eyes also held an expression of disbelief.

Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal.

Their Jiang family had one too, but that was many years ago~—left behind by her great-grandfather.

Decades had passed, and although the clan had gained several more Outstanding Contribution Silver Medals.

Not a single Gold Medal had been added......

"A Gold Medal!! How is that possible?!!"

Shen Lingfeng, who had also chosen the War Academy, was also staring fixedly at that gold medal, a silent roar erupting in his heart!!

Even the Shen family, one of Ning'an's Eight Great Families, didn't have a Gold Medal!!

Zhou Yi, a student the same age as himself, what virtue or ability did he have to possess such a rare medal?!!

At this moment.

His heart was consumed by jealousy.

Unfortunately...... jealousy was useless, he could only watch helplessly......

Saluting you who have blazed a trail and forged ahead for the civilization of Zhongxia Nation—Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal.

Looking at the line of text engraved on the back of the medal, Zhou Yi at this moment was also a bit stunned.

Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal?

When had he ever made a tremendous contribution to Zhongxia Nation?

"We all saw your performance in the Gale Wind Mountain Range some time ago. This Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal is what you deserve."

Seeing Zhou Yi's confusion, Principal Wang Hui explained.

Otherworldly creatures can descend through medium-sized spatial rifts.

This piece of news, after being reported by Xu Yuzhou, the commander of the 8th Regiment of the Snow Dragon Legion, at the National Assembly, was directly confirmed shortly after.

Thus, the entire state machinery immediately began to operate at full speed.

Legions on leave were immediately recalled, some unimportant battles were canceled, and all personnel were dispatched to sweep the areas within Huaxia Nation that contained medium-sized spatial rifts.

And Zhou Yi, as the greatest contributor who caused the otherworldly creatures to be exposed, was naturally also awarded the Zhongxia Nation Outstanding Contribution Gold Medal.

Originally, this medal was to be arranged to be delivered directly to Zhou Yi by courier, but since he happened to be returning to school, it was brought along together.

Gale Wind Mountain Range?

Even if he had repelled the Flame Demon Legion, he shouldn't have been awarded such a medal.

Zhou Yi remained very puzzled upon hearing this.

But he also knew that such a matter couldn't be wrong.

There might be hidden circumstances behind the Flame Demon Legion in the Gale Wind Mountain Range.

Thinking of this, he closed the metal box and carefully put it away.

"Gale Wind Mountain Range! The month Zhou Yi disappeared, he actually went to the Gale Wind Mountain Range!"

"But what exactly did he do that made Principal Wang Hui personally award him the Gold Medal?!!"

It would have been better if Principal Wang Hui hadn't explained—his explanation only made everyone even more curious!

The Kuangfeng Mountains, nearly a hundred kilometers from Suzhou-Hangzhou University, were known to many present.

To obtain this Golden Medal within the Kuangfeng Mountains, one would likely have to kill every high-level beast posing a threat throughout the entire range.

Zhou Yi clearly could not possibly accomplish this at this moment!!

Then how did he do it?

Curious and envious, the new students stared in awe.

You have to know—

The Outstanding Contribution Golden Medal, besides symbolizing honor for one's service to the nation,

also grants many other benefits.

At the moment the medal was awarded, the recipient's identity information was already recorded in the Zhongxia Nation's intelligent database.

Should one later wish to enlist in the military, they would immediately receive a high rank!!

If entering an official merchant guild, they would also gain numerous advantages.

Even within Suzhou-Hangzhou University, students who earned the Contribution Medal could receive a substantial amount of academic credits from the school!

In short, anyone possessing a Contribution Medal would be treated with privilege wherever they went...

"It seems Zhou Yi accomplished something extraordinary within the Kuangfeng Mountains!"

Wu Mang, dean of the War Academy, was also taken aback.

The reason Zhou Yi received the Contribution Golden Medal would clearly be revealed at the school meeting to be held by the principal afterward.

Thus, he was not particularly curious now.

But Su Mei, beside him, widened her eyes in confusion—she could not understand how Zhou Yi, the student she had admitted, had earned this medal.

·· ········Begging for flowers····· 0

"You've got the medal. Let's go."

At this moment, Zhou Yi, who had received the medal, was led away from the podium by Principal Wang Hui.

Yet their method of departure was highly unusual.

A flash of light surged over Principal Wang Hui's body, as if activating a special device; accompanied by faint spatial ripples, the two vanished from their spot.
