Chapter 978: 978 **Chapter 978: You Old Guy, That’s Not Fair!** Zhu Tian’s projection looked at Lin Moyu with a smile, "Aren’t you curious?" "Curious," Lin Moyu admitted straightforwardly. "Not only curious, but I also find it strange." Zhu Tian raised an eyebrow, "Tell me, what do you find strange?" Lin Moyu said, "This war is strange, the infiltration of the Dark Demons is strange, and the rescue of Star System 52 is also strange." Lin Moyu voiced his doubts. After listening, Zhu Tian laughed heartily, "Not bad, not bad. Your intuition is correct. We did let them in on purpose." "And among the demons, there are quite a few clones." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 "But among them, one-tenth are real demons." "This time in Star System 52, the demons tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice. They lost a batch of troops." "Do you know the real purpose of this operation?" Lin Moyu shook his head slightly, "I’ll wait for you to tell me." Zhu Tian laughed even louder, "Why do you think I would tell you?" "You will definitely tell me because there are other operations to follow. If we don’t know the reasons, there might be issues in the execution." Lin Moyu was confident in his judgment, almost certain he was right. Zhu Tian nodded, "Indeed, I will tell you, but not now. We’ll wait until the battles in the other star systems are over." "We didn’t expect the battle in Star System 52 to end so quickly. You did a great job this time, didn’t you?" Lin Moyu responded calmly, "It was alright." Zhu Tian knew very well what Lin Moyu had accomplished. He was aware of everything that happened in the star system. From beginning to end, all developments were under the surveillance of the Human Emperor Network. The entire process was just a setup. It served to train the human race, allowing these super gods, who were not even considered cannon fodder, to truly encounter demons. It also allowed them to see who was stronger and who were the real elites through actual combat. It was a win-win situation. As for the negative impact, some people would die, but in the grand scheme of things, such losses were insignificant. There is no war without casualties. If it weren’t for the countless brave warriors who sacrificed themselves, the human race wouldn’t have the stable life it has now. Becoming a cultivator means facing life and death sooner or later. Zhu Tian laughed, having watched the entire battle. He had seen Lin Moyu’s outstanding performance, which far exceeded his expectations. Lin Moyu displayed astonishing combat power, comparable to a true god. When Lin Moyu’s undead army charged out, it was even more breathtaking. The more Zhu Tian watched Lin Moyu, the more he liked him. If such talent couldn’t be recommended to the city lord as a disciple, it would be a great loss for the human race. If it weren’t for some rigid rules, he would have taken Lin Moyu to see the city lord right away. Zhu Tian said, "Let’s not talk about that for now. Do you have any other questions? There are some things I can answer for you." Lin Moyu naturally had questions. Since entering the great world, he had countless questions. The great world was like a mystery, waiting for him to slowly unravel. Lin Moyu asked, "I want to know more about military merits." Zhu Tian laughed, "Good question. In our human race, military merits are a very complex system." "The military merit system and the task system are the two major evaluation systems within the human race." "Comparatively, military merits are even more important than points." Lin Moyu understood Zhu Tian’s words. The role of soldiers in the human race’s survival was crucial, so military merits naturally held great importance. "Simply put, the amount of military merits represents different positions, permissions, and benefits." "In our human race, there are four military ranks: Warrior, Officer, Captain, and General." "Each rank is divided into nine levels, with level one being the lowest and level nine being the highest." "You currently have 1,000 military merits, which makes you a level one warrior, just an entry-level rank." "After that, every additional 1,000 military merits will raise you one level." Lin Moyu listened to Zhu Tian’s explanation. Overall, it was similar to the situation in the small world. However, it was clear that gaining military merits in the great world was much slower, and there was no concept of team-based merit farming. All military merits had to be earned individually. "Is it difficult to earn military merits?" Lin Moyu asked. Zhu Tian, seeing that he had piqued Lin Moyu’s interest, laughed, "It can be difficult or easy." "But for each task and operation, there is a cap on military merits, a fixed total amount that must be shared with others." "Like this time, there were 1,000 military merits in total, and you got all of them, leaving none for others." Lin Moyu understood. Even if he killed 300,000 demons, he could only earn 1,000 military merits. If he hadn’t been strong enough to kill nearly 90% of the demons, he would have had to share the military merits with others. This made earning military merits much harder than in the small world. It wasn’t just about the number of enemies killed; it also required completing tasks to earn military merits. This way, while advancing in rank, one could accumulate a lot of combat experience. Lin Moyu roughly understood the military merit system and asked, "What can military merits be used for?" Zhu Tian smiled, "Military merits can be used for many things. Joining the military or not affects their use." "Some benefits are only available to those who join the military." "But I can tell you, military merits are much more useful than points." "You are a natural warrior. Have you considered joining the military?" Although Zhu Tian was just a projection, Lin Moyu could see the cunning in his eyes. Clearly, Zhu Tian had his own motives for suggesting Lin Moyu join the military. "Join my ass!" A sudden shout interrupted. Luo Qiankun’s projection appeared in front of Lin Moyu. He looked at Zhu Tian angrily, "You old guy, have you no shame?" Zhu Tian’s face changed, "Old Luo, how am I shameless? If you don’t explain yourself, I won’t let this go." Luo Qiankun snorted, "Fine, let’s not let it go. Do you think I’m afraid of you?" Then he turned to Lin Moyu, "You can’t join the military." Lin Moyu was puzzled. Why couldn’t he join the military? Before he could speak, Zhu Tian angrily retorted, "Whether he joins the military or not is up to him. It’s none of your business." Luo Qiankun snorted, "I can’t decide, but neither can you. I’ve already reported Lin Moyu’s situation to the hall master." "Moreover, Lin Moyu is still at the sixth stage of the super god level. Joining the military requires at least the true god level. You have no chance." Zhu Tian’s face turned red with anger, pointing at Luo Qiankun, "You old guy, that’s not fair!"
