**Chapter 1188: Yuzhu's Goodwill and Military Rank Promotion**

After leaving the trading center, Lin Moyu was still pondering Yuzhu's last words.

"Why did she tell me this?"

"Purchasing military supplies through the trading center seems like a loophole, but it can't be entirely considered one."

"Most people probably can't enjoy this loophole."

Purchasing through the trading center must be limited to a few people.

Lin Moyu thought that since Yuzhu could tell him, the military must also be aware of this practice. But since both sides are in a cooperative relationship, the military turns a blind eye as long as the quantity isn't excessive and it doesn't cause any trouble.

The world is inherently uneven, and only strength can fill these gaps.

After thinking about Yuzhu's words, Lin Moyu realized that Yuzhu was showing goodwill towards him.

It was likely because of his potential that she acted this way.

However, the purchasing prices...

They were indeed quite high.

Normally, the value ratio between military merits and points is about 1:1000.

This is based on purchasing power.

For similar items, if it costs 10,000 points, it would only require 10 military merits.

But this ratio isn't absolute and can fluctuate depending on the item.

However, it never exceeds 1:2000.

But the prices Yuzhu told Lin Moyu had a ratio of about 1:5000, and for some items, it could even reach 1:10,000.

This price difference was astonishing.

Yuzhu explained this to Lin Moyu and showed him a list of items they could purchase.

The items on the list were indeed very high-end and tempting, many of which were exclusive to the military and not for sale to the public.

No matter how high your military rank, as long as you haven't joined the military, you can't buy these items.

For example, one item on the list was called the "Destruction Battleship."

According to the description, it contained the complete law of destruction and had combat power comparable to a third-rank God Sovereign.

The minimum requirement to use it was being a True God.

Imagine a True God controlling a Destruction Battleship, capable of challenging a third-rank God Sovereign. How terrifying would that be? Compared to Lin Moyu's Battle King Tower, it was much more powerful.

However, its price was also astonishing, requiring 1 million military merits.

1 million military merits could directly promote a general's rank to an ordinary soldier.

If converted to points, it would require 1 billion points, a true 1:10,000 ratio.

At first, Lin Moyu thought 1 billion points was too exaggerated. Who could afford that?

But then he realized he was wrong.

He was still at the True God level and could trade over 70 million points in one go.

If a God Sovereign made a move, would 1 billion points be difficult?

A God Sovereign could exchange the Destruction Battleship and pass it on to their descendants. The exchange was made by the God Sovereign, but there was no rule on who could use it.

Moreover, consuming military merits would lower one's military rank, but consuming points wouldn't affect one's level or authority.

In this light, Lin Moyu felt that the 1:10,000 ratio wasn't entirely unacceptable.

"Still poor..."

Lin Moyu chuckled. He had over 80 million points, which seemed wealthy, but when it came to buying something decent, it wasn't enough.

Thinking back to when Gu Qingxuan hesitated over 100 points, it seemed amusing.

Gu Qingxuan's cold and beautiful image flashed in his mind, "I haven't seen her in a while. I wonder how her mission in the Divine City is going."

Gu Qingxuan's second chain mission was almost complete, and the evaluation wouldn't be low.

With the guidance of the Night Wind God Sovereign, her chances of entering the Divine City were high. If not ten out of ten, at least nine out of ten.

Arriving at the military merit office, there were still many people in line, submitting tasks and recording military merits.

Most people wouldn't wait until leaving the battlefield to settle their military merits. They needed military merits to buy items to ensure they could complete their tasks or even survive on the battlefield.

Lin Moyu bypassed the crowd and went to another counter.

The military merit office had several counters for different matters.

Lin Moyu went to the one handling military rank promotions.

His military merits had exceeded 16,000, meeting the promotion requirements.

However, he was still displayed as a ninth-rank warrior and needed military approval for the promotion.

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Lin Moyu's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

The person handling military rank promotions was Meng Gang.

When Lin Moyu saw Meng Gang, Meng Gang also saw Lin Moyu.

"What are you doing here?" Meng Gang asked in a low voice, his expression not looking good.

Lin Moyu looked around, "Sergeant Meng, aren't you the head of the military merit office? Why are you here?"

As a second-rank sergeant and head of the military merit office, why was he handling daily affairs?

Meng Gang's face turned even darker, but he couldn't lose his temper. He hummed in a low voice, "You know why."

Although his voice was low, Lin Moyu heard it.

Lin Moyu guessed it was because of his incident that Meng Gang was punished.

Looking at the military insignia on Meng Gang's shoulder...

It had dropped from a second-rank sergeant to a first-rank sergeant.

"Was he demoted?"

"Or did he buy something and use up his military merits?"

Meng Gang was indeed demoted and had some military merits deducted.

He had just been promoted to a second-rank sergeant, and now, with the deduction, he was back to a first-rank sergeant.

He was also punished to handle daily affairs here, making him very frustrated.

But there was no choice. A mistake is a mistake, and mistakes must be punished.

He understood this principle.

Suppressing his frustration, Meng Gang asked in a deep voice, "What are you here for?"

Lin Moyu chuckled, "It seems Sergeant Meng is still upset. Don't mind it; it was just a misunderstanding. I'm here to get a military rank promotion."

"Military rank promotion?" Meng Gang looked at Lin Moyu in confusion.

At that time, Lin Moyu was only a fifth-rank warrior. Even with an honorary title, he was still a fifth-rank warrior.

He was far from a military rank promotion.

Military merits weren't easy to earn, unlike points, where a single task could earn thousands or tens of thousands.

Each task could earn at most a thousand military merits, which was already considered very good.

Unless...

Meng Gang thought of a possibility and looked at Lin Moyu a few more times, thinking it wasn't impossible.

He couldn't afford to make the same mistake again, "Give me your battlefield token."

Lin Moyu handed over his battlefield token.

Meng Gang manipulated the battlefield token, his expression changing, showing a look of realization.

Lin Moyu's military merits had indeed reached the level for a military rank promotion.

Moreover, his military merits were as high as 16,666, not far from a second-rank sergeant.

"How did it happen so quickly?"

"How many points did this guy sell?"

Meng Gang was both shocked and confused. Even if he was farming military merits, it couldn't be this fast.

But he didn't dare to easily suspect Lin Moyu and began to carefully check.

The battlefield token clearly recorded every detail of Lin Moyu's military merits. Verifying the source of military merits was part of his job.

The more he verified, the more shocked Meng Gang became.

He looked up with a complex expression, "I'll apply for your military rank promotion right away."
