Chapter 1149: 1149 **Chapter 1149: What Explanation, Don’t Be So Vague** Taking someone else’s items directly from the trading platform is very impolite. Lin However, Lin Moyu was not afraid that the other party would really take the Flowing Light Return Tokens. Anyone who dared to snatch things here, even a deity, wouldn’t be able to escape. Lin Moyu turned his head to look at the other party, who was dressed in a military uniform and stood upright. He had a square face and exuded the aura of a God King. On his epaulet, there were also stars, but only two stars. Stars represent officers, who have already left the ranks of soldiers and are considered small officials in the army. Normally, a first-rank officer would have about a hundred soldiers under his command, forming a combat team. A second-rank officer might have more than two hundred soldiers under his command. "What’s the matter?" Lin Moyu looked at him, seeing only seriousness in his eyes. This was a straightforward person, Lin Moyu felt. The officer’s voice was deep and low, "I am Meng Gang, the person in charge of military merits at Fortress No. 1." Lin Moyu asked, "What does Officer Meng need?" Meng Gang said, "I received a report from a subordinate saying that you are suspected of farming military merits. According to military regulations, farming military merits is a very serious violation. If discovered, it must be dealt with severely." Farming military merits is indeed unfair to many people. Military resources are limited, and if you farm military merits to purchase them, it might prevent others from getting what they need. This could lead to a series of negative consequences. There have been incidents in the past where someone farmed military merits and bought a large number of military pills. As a result, many people couldn’t get the pills they needed, leading to many deaths during missions. It was later found that the person who bought a large number of pills had farmed his military merits. Now, farming military merits is strictly prohibited. Those who do so will not only be despised by others but also severely punished by the military. At the least, their military merits will be reset, and they will be expelled from the battlefield. At worst, they will be crippled. The military’s methods are very direct and violent, aimed at preventing such incidents from happening again. The fifth-rank warrior who had previously settled Lin Moyu’s military merits not only despised him but also reported him to his superiors. As the person in charge of military merits at Fortress No. 1, Meng Gang naturally had the duty to investigate this matter thoroughly. Lin Moyu chuckled, "Just because of my records? Do you have any evidence?" Meng Gang said solemnly, "You are only at the fourth stage of the True God realm, yet you have killed many at the ninth stage of the True God realm. This defies common sense." Lin Moyu squinted his eyes, "Is it not possible to fight across levels?" Meng Gang continued, "According to the records, you have also killed many God Kings, including one at the fourth stage of the God King realm." "And according to the records, you were only at the second stage of the True God realm at that time. Do you think this is normal?" Meng Gang’s words caused an uproar. The onlookers around them showed expressions of disbelief. "A second-stage True God killing a fourth-stage God King? How is that possible?" "Exactly, fighting across levels is one thing, but crossing a major realm and two minor realms, a True God killing a God King, is a bit too much." "Nowadays, people dare to farm military merits so blatantly. Do they think the military is just for show?" "Being so blatant, does he have a powerful background?" The surrounding people, one after another, expressed their disbelief that Lin Moyu could really fight across levels. Lin Moyu ignored these comments, "So how do you plan to investigate?" Meng Gang said solemnly, "If you really have the combat power of a God King, please prove it." Lin Moyu glanced at Meng Gang, "What is your realm, Officer Meng?" Meng Gang said, "Second stage of the God King realm." Lin Moyu squinted his eyes, "Then if I kill you, would that count as proof?" As he spoke, a flash of killing intent appeared in Lin Moyu’s eyes, causing Meng Gang’s hair to stand on end, and a chill to rise from the bottom of his heart. It seemed as if Lin Moyu really had the ability to kill him. "What audacity!" "Are you challenging the military?" "Just a mere True God, where does he get such audacity?" Behind Meng Gang, several military personnel shouted sternly. Among them was the fifth-rank warrior who had previously settled Lin Moyu’s military merits and reported him. Lin Moyu looked at them, his gaze growing more dangerous. Meng Gang raised his hand to stop his subordinates, "The military has its own ways to prove it. We just need your cooperation." Lin Moyu said, "I have no problem cooperating, but I also have a question." "Please ask!" Meng Gang’s tone softened a bit, becoming more polite than before. He was startled by Lin Moyu’s gaze, and his attitude unconsciously changed slightly. Lin Moyu said, "You should investigate such matters, but if you are wrong, shouldn’t you also give an explanation?" "And just now, I didn’t like his gaze." "As a member of the human race, I have enough respect for the military, but at the same time, we are also doing tasks, providing resources for the human race, and we also need enough respect." "This matter has nothing to do with cultivation level or task size. We are all members of the human race. As long as we are doing things beneficial to the human race and not harming others’ interests, we are all equal." "And even if someone doesn’t farm military merits, can’t they have good luck and encounter enemies with higher cultivation who are seriously injured?" "If they take advantage of such situations, would you still find it abnormal and ask them to prove their innocence? Wouldn’t that chill the hearts of us cultivators?" As he spoke, Lin Moyu’s aura gradually rose. In the small world, he was also a general in the military, and he knew how to deal with military personnel. Military personnel can be domineering at times, but they are generally reasonable. As long as you are more reasonable and more domineering than they are, they will have nothing to say. His words were reasonable, and Meng Gang had no rebuttal. Meng Gang had the illusion that he was facing not a fourth-stage True God but a high-ranking officer, and he was completely outmatched in terms of aura. He even began to believe Lin Moyu’s words, that Lin Moyu might really be able to fight across realms, a True God killing a God King. After Lin Moyu finished speaking, there was silence all around. The mocking voices from earlier suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding cultivators seemed to resonate with Lin Moyu’s words. Someone blurted out, "Yes, last time I encountered two enemies from different races. They were both seriously injured, and I took advantage of it. But when I returned, I was investigated for a long time." "I’ve had similar experiences. As long as you kill an enemy stronger than yourself, you’ll be investigated." "Not only that, I once found a God King corpse and brought it back, but I was investigated for a long time, and my gains were almost confiscated." "Exactly, the military investigates everything and makes us prove our innocence. They don’t have to pay any price, which is indeed a bit too much." "Some people think they’re above everyone else just because they’re in the military." Many people resonated with Lin Moyu’s words and turned to support him. Meng Gang felt a headache coming on. How did things suddenly go wrong? How did a few words turn the situation around, making him the villain? Meng Gang gritted his teeth, "If you can prove you didn’t farm military merits, we will naturally give you an explanation." Lin Moyu smiled, looking kind but not letting go, "What kind of explanation? Be clear, don’t be so vague."
