Chapter 130

"Military Merit Exchange: military merits can be used to purchase corresponding supplies."

Most Professionals below level 40 do not have the qualifications to use the military facilities in Fortress No. 1.

Very few Professionals below level 40 can reach the rank of three-star second lieutenant.

Even some level 40+ Professionals who have already completed their second class transition might not necessarily hold the rank of second lieutenant.

Originally, Lin Moyu did not qualify either.

However, due to his outstanding performance in battle, along with being the owner of the Star of Shenxia title.

General Ni Xiong granted him this privilege.

It was just that no matter which facility it was, they were all too expensive to use.

In the Officers' Rest Area, one could restore all physical stamina and Purify fatigue in just one hour.

However, a second lieutenant would consume 200 military merits for one hour inside.

Those at the colonel rank could get a 50% discount, consuming only 100 military merits.

Once one reached the general rank, it could be used for free.

The Skill Training Ground was much the same.

Similar facilities also existed in Xiajing Academy.

These facilities in the military were even more effective than those in Xiajing Academy.

In Lin Moyu's view, this was only normal.

After all, military merits were hard to come by. If the effects were poor after spending so many military merits, who would come?

military merits were much harder to earn than academy points; they were fought for and won through real killing.

Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi walked hand in hand into the Military Merit Exchange.

The empire had the Imperial Exchange, the academy had the Points Exchange, and he hadn't expected there to be a Military Merit Exchange here as well.

Lin Moyu checked the supplies for sale in the exchange.

There was no equipment or anything of the sort; it only sold some potions that were rarely seen in the outside world.

Lin Moyu's eyes lit up. He actually saw Fatigue Potions in the Military Merit Exchange.

It was the exact same Fatigue Potion he had bought from Shu Han.

At 200 military merits a bottle, it was truly expensive.

Calculated by Abyssal Demon Dogs, he would have to kill a full 200 of them.

Or kill two Dog Demons.

Calculating it this way, Shu Han only asking him for 500 points meant he had gotten a huge bargain.

[Anti-Curse Potion: Increases Curse resistance for 30 minutes.]

[Elemental Resistance Potion: Increases resistance to elemental attacks by 50% for 30 minutes.]

[Control Resistance Potion: Increases resistance to control skills by 50% for 30 minutes.]

Unfortunately, these three potions could only be used on oneself and were useless for summoned creatures.

Otherwise, running the Hell Dungeon would be much easier.

[Dungeon Escape Talisman: Instantly escape any Dungeon. Please carry it with you in Hell Dungeons.]

"100 military merits each."

Lin Moyu thought about it and bought two.

He gave one of them to Ning Yiyi just in case.

Ning Yiyi giggled and put the Dungeon Escape Talisman into her pocket.

As long as it was given by Lin Moyu, she was happy.

The Military Merit Exchange also sold some recovery potions.

[Minor Recovery Potion: Heals injuries upon use and restores 500 points of mental strength, with a cooldown of 1 minute.]

On the battlefield, every second counts in combat.

Being able to get both effects from a single bottle was naturally better than drinking two.

Moreover, its recovery effect was far superior to ordinary potions.

Even a minor potion could heal most injuries while restoring up to 500 mental strength.

The mental strength recovery amount alone was a full five times higher than that of a Minor Mental Potion.

The healing effect was likely much better too.

The key was that the cooldown was only 1 minute.

As long as one had enough potions, they could drink one every minute.

Of course, the price was also very expensive, at 100 military merits per bottle.

Lin Moyu thought that if he had more military merits, he could buy these potions to train his skills. Combined with the Officers' Skill Training Ground, the effect might even rival that of the desert fruit.

The key was still military merits.

He needed enough military merits.

After buying the Dungeon Escape Talismans, he had less than 4,000 military merits left.

He couldn't exhaust all his military merits. If his military merits fell below 1,000, he would be demoted back to a ten-star private.

Lin Moyu bought 10 recovery potions and gave 5 of them to Ning Yiyi.

A flash of light illuminated the Military Merit Exchange, and Mo Yun walked in.

This was the third time Lin Moyu had seen her.

The first two times were in the sky, where she rode her Unicorn, looking incredibly proud.

This time, her Unicorn was put away, and she seemed a bit less proud.

Mo Yun's military badge was also silver, with three stars shining brightly upon it.

As a three-star second lieutenant, she also had the qualifications to use the exchange.

After Mo Yun entered, she glanced at Lin Moyu, then said to Ning Yiyi, "Yiyi, is he your sweetheart?"

Ning Yiyi's pretty face blushed slightly. She walked over to Mo Yun's side obediently and pulled her arm, "Sister Yun'er."

So the two of them knew each other.

Mo Yun belonged to the Mo family of Xiajing City, and nine times out of ten, she also came from Xiajing Academy.

It seemed only normal that she knew Ning Yiyi.

Mo Yun's beautiful eyes swept over to Lin Moyu. "Treat Yiyi well, or I won't let you off."

Ning Yiyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Yun'er, he treats me very well."

Lin Moyu didn't say anything, only offering a faint smile as his response.

Mo Yun hummed in response and stopped talking, walking over to the exchange counter to purchase items.

She was used to soloing and going about alone, so she naturally had more things to prepare.

Recovery potions, in particular, were essential.

Ning Yiyi seemed a bit afraid of Mo Yun. While Mo Yun was selecting her items, Ning Yiyi stuck out her tongue and carefully pulled Lin Moyu, wanting to leave.

"Sister Yun'er, take your time choosing. We'll head out first."

She spoke very softly, as if afraid Mo Yun would hear.

Lin Moyu found it amusing. This fearless little girl actually feared Mo Yun.

There is always one thing to conquer another.

"Wait."

Mo Yun turned around and stopped them.

Ning Yiyi stuck out her tongue and squeezed out a smile. "What other instructions do you have, Sister Yun'er?"

Mo Yun handed over two items. "Take these."

Ning Yiyi obediently took them.

[Targeted Teleportation Stone: Can teleport to a designated location.]

"What use do I have for this, Sister Yun'er?" Ning Yiyi looked at the two stones in her hand, completely baffled.

Mo Yun said, "One is for him. I've been searching for the Battlefield Ghost King lately. If I find it, you two come and help me fight it."

Many people knew that Mo Yun was looking for soul-refining crystals and had been searching for a long time.

It was just that the drop rate of soul-refining crystals was far too low; some people searched for years without getting one.

Only the world-class BOSS [Battlefield Ghost King] was guaranteed to drop a soul-refining crystal.

But this BOSS was elusive, changing locations at most half an hour after each appearance.

Even if it was discovered, it was hard to assemble a team in a short time.

By the time the team was assembled, it would have long since vanished again.

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "The Battlefield Ghost King is a world-class BOSS, and its level reaches 38. I'm only level 24, so we might not necessarily be able to defeat it."

Mo Yun said, "Since you can solo the Hell Outpost Dungeon, it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, I don't know when I'll find it either. With your leveling speed, you might already be level 30 by then."

Before Lin Moyu could speak, Mo Yun continued, "If we can defeat it, it will benefit you as well."

"It is guaranteed to drop soul-refining crystals—at least three, and as many as five or six. I only want one, and you can have the rest."

"To be honest, I found it once before, but I couldn't defeat it alone. Gathering people can't be done that quickly, and I don't trust others either."

Lin Moyu understood the true meaning behind her words.

Quite simply, she couldn't defeat it on her own and needed to find help.

But because she was used to going solo, she had no friends, couldn't find anyone, and didn't trust others.

So she had set her sights on him.

Because of Ning Yiyi, she trusted him, and he indeed possessed the strength.

At the same time, she only wanted one soul-refining crystal, and the rest would go to him.

As it happened, he indeed needed soul-refining crystals, and Ning Yiyi did too.

She had truly grasped his psychology perfectly.

Under these circumstances, it seemed he had no choice but to agree.

Chapter 133: Running the Dungeon Laughing and Chatting, Driving People Mad to Death

Ning Yiyi found a room in the fortress and rested for the night.

That night, Lin Moyu spent military merits and stayed in the Officers' Skill Training Ground the entire time.

The Officers' Skill Training Ground was not divided into basic, intermediate, or advanced levels.

Its effect was directly equivalent to the Advanced Skill Training Hall in Xiajing Academy.

Under the meditation state, it took less than an hour for his mental strength to go from zero to full.

Combined with the powerful effect of the dragon war king title, which halved skill consumption, Lin Moyu began to Summon Skeleton Warriors.

Summoning a level 24 Skeleton Warrior originally required 700 points of mental strength, but now it only required 350 points.

Summoning a level 24 Skeleton Mage originally required 2,100 points of mental strength, but now it only required 1,050 points.

Factoring in his equipment and title bonuses, Lin Moyu possessed exactly 4,200 points of mental strength.

Each round, he could summon 12 Skeleton Warriors or 4 Skeleton Mages.

Once his mental strength was depleted, he would meditate to recover.

Lin Moyu calculated the time, first summoning 10 Skeleton Warriors, bringing the number of Skeleton Warriors to 150.
