Chapter 350: What is the Price

"So what is the price?"
If the person in front of Thomas was Yan Pengyu, he would have definitely followed up with the phrase "All of this," but unfortunately, King Lin Huitian didn't understand this reference.
"Cost? It steps forward in legends of Pokémon or other disasters that pose a serious threat to humanity, not allowing anyone to die before you sacrifice everything."
The King of Linhui Tianwang chuckled lightly, as if casually mentioning something unimportant.
This only made Thomas more suspicious and concerned.
“on　n　rien.”
Thomas muttered to himself.
Ironically, he had to defeat the French Empire in the World Championship, but his most familiar language was French. Even his name was very French Empire-style.
This sentence means: Without giving, you won't get anything.
"There is a similar saying in China, 'Good things don't just fall from the sky,' so I understand your concerns and don't need you to give me an answer right now."
Lin Hui, the King of Heaven, nodded gently, and if Thomas agreed without any hesitation, he would doubt if he had mistaken the person.
A trainer who is filled with greed and ambition and disregards the interests of others may be good at manipulation, but he is not the person he needs.
Under such temptation, can we still remain rational and consider whether it will harm Burkina Faso's interests.
Thomas has such moral character that he is worthy of joining the organization that Lin Huitian hopes he will become a part of.
"I can assure you that it will not harm the interests of Burkina Faso. On the contrary, the improvement of your strength can better help the development of your own country. Our alliance is only to support each other in the face of disasters and protect all humanity, without interfering in the disputes over human interests."
Linhui Tiangwang did not disclose any more information.
Thomas still has not given a prompt response.
Such matters undoubtedly require careful consideration.
"Please allow me some time to think..."
"It's not too late for you to give me an answer after the World Championship is over."
"Lin Hui, the King of Heaven, is not in a hurry. There are many talented people in this world. If it weren't for Thomas's performance that aroused his love and talent, he wouldn't have immediately extended the invitation."
Actually, during their conversation, an investigation into Thomas's personal and family background had already begun.
If the investigation results are not satisfactory, if Thomas's character is not up to par, the resources will not actually be given to him. Instead, he will be rejected through some kind of challenging tests.
As for whether Thomas would question the difficulty of the challenge?
The Champion does not care about the questioning of experienced trainers, besides, it is not easy to obtain a Champion's training notes and the large amount of resources needed to push the limits of the species.
Of course, if the background investigation results are fine, there won't be any tests.
As long as Thomas eventually nods and agrees, after the World Championship ends, he will have the opportunity to interact with a group of equally promising young people in the organization he is in, receive the best resources, and then devote himself to the work of protecting all humanity.
Li Hui Tianwang is not sure about the outcome. Thomas doesn't know what he will face.
"Tianwang, have you been constipated recently?"
When Li Hui Tianwang asked Thomas to think carefully and returned to the audience seat, Yan Pengyu curiously asked.
The time the emperor has been away is a bit too long, even with the universal "restroom" excuse.
But it's only Yan Pengyu who dares to ask so bluntly.
"... Do you think that just because we are familiar with each other, I won't beat you up? Your Tang instructor used to be my team captain, so it is reasonable for me to discipline you by beating you."
Lin Hui Tianwang glanced at Yan Pengyu.
He could tell from Yan Pengyu's expression that he knew he was going to do something confidential.
Most people would pretend nothing happened at this time, but Yan Pengyu had to ask.
This young trainer is great at everything, except he has a big mouth.
"I've graduated! And I refuse to be physically punished. It's all about quality education!"
Yan Pengyu is also stubborn, noisy like a great-tailed grackle.
It's so annoying, but he can't beat him in front of everyone.
"Can you calm down a bit? Why are you talking so much today? Aren't you worried about the hidden power of the Federation anymore?"
Lin Huitian rubbed his temple. He originally thought Yan Pengyu was too nervous, but now he's even more irritating when he relaxes.
Sometimes, making him slightly nervous makes him more focused.
"Having witnessed such an exciting battle, I couldn't help but want to fight. As for the Federal State... Is the gap between us and the Federal State greater than the gap between Burkina Faso and the French Empire?"
Yan Pengyu smiled.
Burkina Faso can still win against the French Empire with perseverance, command, and clever tactical victories.
China is currently the strongest country in the world in terms of comprehensive strength of trainers, and they are the strongest young generation of trainers in China.
What does it matter if the Federal Republic hides its combat power? Can we find a way to defeat them by worrying about it?
Disregard the enemy strategically, but pay attention to them tactically - Yan Pengyu realized that he should not have forgotten such an important phrase before.
After the battle between Thomas and Cristina, Yan Pengyu felt a surge of excitement and couldn't wait to fight against the hidden forces of the Federation.
Even if the opponent's hidden combat power is as strong as King-level, so what? He still has the possibility of winning!
The group stage is in full swing, and the seven major countries still maintain their dominant power.
The difference in resource cultivation, knowledge accumulation, and move research eventually accumulates into the gap in trainer's abilities.
Otherwise, Burkina Faso would only have won a small game and would not have attracted such cheers, nor would it have been called a "miracle".
No, it's more than that.
In the face of Britain, Thomas won another game, even if his tactics were known, it would not be easy to target him, which is a manifestation of his strength.
However, this is also because he did not face the martial arts bear trainer. The two trainers in Britain who use martial arts bears are not good at doubles battles.
But that's about it. The trainers in Britain held a meeting, and all the mocking they had previously directed at the French Empire was turned back on themselves.
At first, Thomas was hailed as a "hero" by trainers from third world countries, especially Africa, specifically Burkina Faso.
As expected, all seven nations, except for the French Empire in the same group as Great Britain, advanced to the knockout stage as group leaders.
After that, a fierce competition began for the remaining spots for the third place (or tied) in the remaining 26 groups.
After two more days of matches, the list of the top 64 in the knockout stage was finally determined.
In the knockout stage, unlike the group stage, if a team loses one game, they will have no chance to compete for the championship.
Therefore, both the intensity and the tactics or cards exposed will far exceed those in the previous group stage.
And China's next opponent, the team that created a miracle in the group stage, will be their first opponent in the knockout stage.
China vs Burkina Faso.
"I want to play doubles! Even if I'm not good at doubles, I still want to play doubles!"
Yan Pengyu, in his capacity as the captain, forcefully suppressed the eager contestants.
He couldn't wait to compete with that Thomas.
