Chapter 1257: 1257 **Chapter 1257: Is He the Legion Commander’s Illegitimate Son?** Lin Moyu paid 100 million merit points to Yu Zhu as a deposit. If it’s not enough, he’ll ask her for more. As long as the total amount is within 2 billion, it’s fine. Yu Zhu didn’t expect Lin Moyu to trust her so much, giving her 100 million merit points just like that without any proof. Yu Zhu patted her chest and promised loudly that she would definitely help Lin Moyu find suitable materials. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 The whole process might take some time, and she would contact Lin Moyu once the materials were found. Lin Moyu knew that the materials he requested were not easy to find, and he would most likely have to go through the military. He could also exchange them with his military merits, but he didn’t want to use his military merits. Military merits are not as easy to earn as merit points, and using them would lower his military rank. Using merit points doesn’t affect the upgrade of his permission level. So he would use merit points as much as possible since he earned them too easily and didn’t feel any heartache using them. After leaving the trading center, Lin Moyu went straight to the military merit office. He pondered the matter he had entrusted to Yu Zhu, wondering what kind of materials she could find for him. "Hopefully there will be Sovereign-level materials." This time, Lin Moyu wanted to enhance his elemental necromancer technique. Among all his spells, the elemental necromancer technique was currently the weakest link. Improving his realm had little effect on enhancing the elemental necromancer technique. To obtain a powerful elemental necromancer, he could only use high-level materials. When he awakened the spell, he had seen a demonstration of it. The elemental necromancer was very powerful, but he hadn’t been able to unleash its full potential yet. Even the auxiliary functions had become increasingly useless. The black stones he obtained this time were also good materials, containing the laws of the black hole. However, a single black stone didn’t contain enough of the black hole laws, so they needed to be purified and refined. He handed over all the thousands of black stones he obtained this time to Yu Zhu, asking her to find someone to purify and refine them, merging them into one piece. This should produce a decent quality material for summoning the elemental necromancer. Of course, Lin Moyu also knew that he was already very strong, far surpassing so-called geniuses. But who doesn’t want to become even stronger? Especially after witnessing the existence in the black hole pit, Lin Moyu realized how truly weak he was. If he died, what would become of his four beloved wives sleeping in the coffin? They might never have a chance to wake up in this life. No matter the reason, he had to keep getting stronger, strong enough that no one could kill him, strong enough to defy heaven and alter fate. Lost in thought, Lin Moyu arrived at the military merit office. This time, at the counter for processing merit point exchanges for military merits, he didn’t see Meng Gang. Meng Gang was in charge of the military merit office, but he had made a mistake last time and was punished by being assigned to handle specific tasks. After completing the mission, his achievements made up for his mistake, and he was reinstated to manage the military merit office. At the counter was an old acquaintance, Rong Jie, who was processing merit point and military merit exchanges for others. Lin Moyu waited for his turn and then stepped forward. Upon seeing Lin Moyu, Rong Jie immediately jumped up from his seat, standing straight and saluting Lin Moyu, shouting loudly, "Captain!" After just one mission, Rong Jie was completely convinced by Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Don’t be so excited. I just sold some things and need to exchange for merit points." He handed over his battlefield token. Rong Jie respectfully received Lin Moyu’s battlefield token with both hands, holding it like a treasure. "Captain, please wait. I’ll process it for you right away." Lin Moyu smiled, "Take your time, no rush." Rong Jie’s exaggerated reaction drew the attention of many people. While soldiers might not be overly respectful to ordinary cultivators, they would never be so polite to them either. Soldiers were usually stern and impartial, rarely showing smiles. Most people thought that’s how soldiers should be. But now, seeing Rong Jie, they realized it wasn’t the case. As long as they weren’t fools, they could tell it was because of this young man’s different identity. At Fortress No. 1, where people came and went, Lin Moyu was quite famous, but not everyone recognized him. Many people were guessing Lin Moyu’s identity. "Who is this?" "Could he be a descendant of some bigshot?" "Maybe he’s an elder’s illegitimate son." "It’s hard to say if he’s a descendant of the Legion Commander." People let their imaginations run wild, guessing more and more outlandishly. Lin Moyu heard their guesses and felt a bit helpless, but he didn’t mind. Being noticed was just being noticed, it didn’t matter. It was like being the brightest star in the starry sky. When people looked up, the first thing they saw was the brightest one. Rong Jie worked quickly, verifying Lin Moyu’s information. Lin Moyu’s merit points were clear and straightforward, with no issues. Soon, the military merits accumulated, and Rong Jie returned the battlefield token to Lin Moyu, looking a bit embarrassed, "Captain, my apologies." Lin Moyu knew what he meant. If it weren’t for his unusual reaction, he wouldn’t have drawn so much attention. He patted Rong Jie’s shoulder, "It’s fine, cultivate well. Maybe we’ll have a chance to do missions together in the future." Rong Jie nodded vigorously, smiling, "Yes, Captain." Lin Moyu checked his military merits, which had reached 35,676. He was now a third-rank officer. The rewards from the two missions hadn’t been issued yet. The special mission would reward 10,000 military merits, 1 contribution point, and 1 military supply point. Once the special reward came through, he would become a fourth-rank officer. Such a promotion speed was unimaginable for other soldiers. But that wasn’t the main reward. The main rewards were the contribution point and military supply point. The use of contribution points had not been fully revealed yet, so he couldn’t see their significance for now. However, Lin Moyu was clear about the function of military supply points. They could open the military supply warehouse and select an item at the same realm as himself. For this reason, he couldn’t use them now. His current realm was too low, only at the True God realm. He couldn’t obtain good items. Lin Moyu felt he should wait until he reached the Sovereign realm before selecting items, so he could obtain Sovereign-level treasures. Military supply points were too difficult to earn. He didn’t know if he could earn more in the future, so he couldn’t waste this opportunity. As Lin Moyu was leaving the military merit office, the discussions about him hadn’t stopped. At that moment, a few people entered the military merit office, brushing past Lin Moyu. One of them looked at Lin Moyu’s retreating back with surprise and said, "Hey, isn’t that him?" Someone beside him immediately asked, "You know him?" "Lin Moyu, the number one on the potential list, the only person in a hundred years to receive an honorary title from the military. How could I not know him?" The person said with a hint of pride, as if talking about himself. His words immediately caused an uproar. "He’s Lin Moyu!" "The number one on the potential list, number two on the contribution list, and number ten on the combat power list. The only one to receive an honorary title in a hundred years!" "Wow, he’s such an amazing guy, much more impressive than some bigshot’s descendant." "No wonder I felt he had an extraordinary aura earlier. It turns out it was him." Lin Moyu was indeed very famous, and many people present had heard of him. The news of Lin Moyu’s appearance at Fortress No. 1 quickly spread. In the leisure area of Fortress No. 1, at a hotel, Zhang Ziyue was enjoying the unique cuisine of the battlefield. He suddenly received a message from a friend, and the corners of his mouth curved into a slight smile, "Lin Moyu, you’ve finally shown up."
