Little stars twinkled in Yuzhu’s eyes. She seemed to have missed the second half of what Lin Moyu said, hearing only the first half.

She kept muttering, "Captain, you actually killed a God Venerable! You actually killed a God Venerable!"

At this moment, she had completely transformed into Lin Moyu's little fangirl, a loyal fan, and there was no turning back from this mindset.

Lin Moyu even felt a strand of Power of Belief flying out from Yuzhu and landing on him.

He felt helpless about this, but upon reflection, having an extra loyal fan didn't seem like a bad thing.

Yuzhu blinked her dazed eyes, "Captain, what is the name of the God Venerable you killed? Is he famous? What race is he? What rank is he? Is he strong?"

As a barrage of questions was thrown at him, Lin Moyu took a sip of iced tea before saying slowly, "He was alright. I'm not entirely sure of his exact rank. His name is Nightmare God Venerable, an Illusion Demon of the Demon Race."

Yuzhu was shocked once again. At this moment, she had lost all traces of her mature demeanor.

"It wouldn't be that Nightmare God Venerable, would it?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "It's that one."

Yuzhu couldn't help but scream, "Oh my god, Captain, you actually killed the Nightmare God Venerable who is third on the bounty list… Oh my god, oh my god!"

Watching her so excited, Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Why are you so excited?"

Yuzhu said, "Captain, you don't know how high the Human Race's bounty is for it. It's a God Venerable Realm magic treasure! Plus contribution points, credits, and usage time for the Human Emperor Training Ground. The rewards are just so, so many."

Lin Moyu wasn't surprised. After all, the guy was ranked third on the full star domain bounty list and was a God Venerable Realm expert himself; it was no surprise that the rewards were substantial.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Alright, let's start the settlement."

Yuzhu waved her little hand, "Wait a moment, let me compose myself, let me compose myself."

Lin Moyu wasn't in a rush, drinking his tea while waiting for Yuzhu to calm down.

After a while, Yuzhu finally calmed down. She called over five of her sisters to begin counting and appraising the items inside the storage magic treasures.

However, she personally settled the items from the three storage magic treasures that belonged to the God Venerable.

There were simply too many items, and it took all six of them a full day to finish inventorying them and calculating the final price.

Yuzhu gave Lin Moyu a round number: exactly 230 million credits.

Yuzhu announced this number with pleasant surprise, "Captain, you've made a fortune again."

Then she added with a hint of regret, "It's a pity there wasn't a God Venerable Realm magic treasure."

This harvest exceeded the gains from the previous two missions and was the largest transaction Yuzhu had handled to date.

Unfortunately, no God Venerable Realm magic treasure was found in the storage magic treasures. Most of the items were materials, and they were Demon Race materials at that.

Within the Human Race, although these materials were useful, their value would drop significantly.

If there had been a God Venerable Realm magic treasure, the price would have been completely different.

Even the worst God Venerable Realm magic treasure would be worth over 1 billion credits, and that was just Yuzhu's acquisition price.

If one wanted to use credits to buy a God Venerable Realm magic treasure, it would cost at least 1.5 billion, and even then, there was no market for them.

The reason was that God Venerable Realm magic treasures were too rare.

After obtaining a God Venerable Realm magic treasure, God Venerables would generally store it within their souls.

After a God Venerable died, these magic treasures would also be destroyed and vanish, making them very difficult to obtain.

Lin Moyu was already very satisfied with this, "Over 200 million credits is not bad at all; after all, I am a poor man right now."

Previously, to purchase materials, Lin Moyu had exhausted his credits, leaving him with only ten million. Now, he had finally replenished some.

Once the mission rewards from Zhu Qiwu came through, he would have another income.

In fact, Lin Moyu never considered that ten million credits was a huge sum for the vast majority of True Gods.

Even some God Kings didn't have that many credits.

Lin Moyu not only obtained 230 million credits but also 23,000 points of military merit.

Adding in his previous military merit, his military rank could be promoted to a Level 6 Non-Commissioned Officer.

For now, the military rank didn't have much use, but that was because the time wasn't right yet.

Once he became a general, his military rank would truly come into play.

With his status as a holder of the Glory Title, he would be a Glory General by then and could use military merit to exchange for many good things.

As long as he had enough military merit, he could exchange for God Venerable Realm magic treasures and God Venerable Realm warships.

Leaving the Trading Center, Lin Moyu immediately headed to the Military Merit Office to exchange the military merit he had earned.

With the military merit added, his rank successfully promoted to a Level 6 Non-Commissioned Officer.

A Level 6 Non-Commissioned Officer was absolutely at the top among the True God Realm, higher than many in the God King Realm.

Even those God Kings who had raised their permissions to Level 5 might not have a military rank as high as Lin Moyu's.

Lin Moyu then turned and headed to the Task Center, trying to find a new mission suitable for himself.

Among his chain missions, one required completing five missions on the battlefield. He had completed three so far, with two more to go.

Chapter 1387: So He Came to Recruit People

Five battlefield missions were actually not many, but unfortunately, Lin Moyu was always occupied with all sorts of troublesome matters, which resulted in the five battlefield missions remaining incomplete for a long time.

Part of the reason was also that Lin Moyu wasn't in a hurry; the mission to hunt down enemies in the top ten of the bounty list hadn't been completed.

The accumulation of military merit also hadn't ended, so Lin Moyu wasn't anxious at all.

Inside the Task Center, Lin Moyu picked and chose, looking for a mission suitable for himself.

As his realm grew higher and his strength grew stronger, Lin Moyu's requirements for missions also became higher.

He looked down on missions with mediocre rewards and very low requirements.

For instance, there was a mission requiring one to go to Area 6-99 to hunt some Starry Sky Behemoth inside.

This mission only required True God 7th Rank, and it looked like a combat power-oriented mission, but Lin Moyu didn't accept it at all.

What he considered wasn't the difficulty of hunting the Starry Sky Behemoth, but the people he would encounter during the mission—people from hostile races.

Missions that were too low-level would mean encountering low-level people from hostile races, which would lower the gains from killing them and looting them.

Since he was doing missions anyway, Lin Moyu wanted to earn a bit more. Credits had many uses, and he could use them to buy materials.

With his mindset changing subconsciously, Lin Moyu almost only looked at missions in the three war zones of 7, 8, and 9.

However, most of the missions there had level requirements, requiring at least the God King Realm to accept.

Only a few could be accepted by True Gods, such as the mission to explore the Ancient Tomb.

After searching for a long time, he did find a few missions that looked relatively suitable, but unfortunately, his realm wasn't high enough to accept them.

"Forget it, let's wait for the news from Yuzhu first."

"If that doesn't work out, I'll just raise my realm first before coming back to accept missions."

"Thinking about it, it's about time to advance to the God King Realm. Otherwise, I feel restricted, and I can't use my Origin Technique as I please."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment and ultimately gave up on accepting a mission immediately.

If the news from Yuzhu was also unsatisfactory, then he could consider advancing to the God King Realm first.

He wasn't far from the God King Realm now; perhaps a short period of seclusion would allow him to advance to the God King Realm.

After becoming a God King, there would be many more missions he could accept.

Leaving the Task Center, Lin Moyu entered the living area, went to a restaurant, ordered quite a few dishes, and asked for some good wine.

Lin Moyu drank alone, reviewing the details of the previous battle in his mind.

He was seeing if he could have done better, searching for oversights and mistakes in the battle to avoid making them again next time.

People were coming and going in the restaurant when someone came to Lin Moyu's side, "Junior Brother Lin."

Lin Moyu interrupted his train of thought and looked up to see a handsome young man.

The young man exuded the aura of the God King Realm, but his control of the aura wasn't perfect, clearly indicating he had just advanced to the God King Realm not long ago.

He didn't conceal his information. With the Human Emperor Network covering Fortress No. 1, Lin Moyu could see the other person's name.

"Zhang Ziyue."

Lin Moyu had seen this name; he could see it every time he opened the potential ranking, where he was ranked second.

Lin Moyu's tone was calm, "I remember, Senior Brother Zhang once challenged me."

The corners of Zhang Ziyue's mouth twitched, and he said with a hint of embarrassment, "Junior Brother Lin, let's not bring up past embarrassments."

The aura Lin Moyu displayed was always that of the True God Realm.

However, ordinary people wouldn't believe that Lin Moyu was in the True God Realm. After all, how could someone who reached the first place on the combat power ranking be in the True God Realm?

But Zhang Ziyue had his own channels; he had found out Lin Moyu's true realm was indeed the True God Realm.

A True God Realm practitioner who could not only fight across realms but also leap several small realms after doing so—such a genius was truly not someone he could compare to.

Zhang Ziyue was already thoroughly convinced by Lin Moyu and had long since lost any intention of challenging him.

Zhang Ziyue pointed to the seat beside him, "Junior Brother Lin, is anyone sitting here?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "Sit down, let's have a drink together."

Zhang Ziyue didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, "Junior Brother Lin, it seems you haven't been in Fortress No. 1 recently. You must have gone to execute a mission."

Lin Moyu gave a non-committal response and didn't answer directly.

Zhang Ziyue smiled awkwardly; such matters involved personal privacy, so not answering was normal.

Zhang Ziyue utilized his strength of being good at socializing, "Junior Brother Lin, have you ever heard of the Four Star Domain Competition?"

Lin Moyu looked at Zhang Ziyue, "I've heard of it. It should be another three years before it starts, right?"

Zhang Ziyue nodded, "To be precise, three years and twenty-one days. I think Junior Brother Lin will definitely be participating, but I don't know in what capacity you plan to participate."

Lin Moyu was slightly stunned, "Is there any particularity to it?"

Zhang Ziyue said, "It's not really a particularity, but different statuses do make a slight difference."

"I'd like to hear the details." Lin Moyu had already roughly guessed Zhang Ziyue's intentions.

Zhang Ziyue had once challenged him, but he hadn't accepted at the time.

Because of this, even if there was no conflict or grudge between the two, there was always some gap.

This time, Zhang Ziyue was clearly taking the initiative to build a relationship and bridge that gap.

Lin Moyu actually didn't care at all; he wasn't that petty. As for whether Zhang Ziyue cared, that was Zhang Ziyue's business, and he couldn't control that.

Zhang Ziyue said, "Those who participate in the Four Star Domain Competition are generally divided into three types: the Domain Lord faction, the War God Temple faction, and the other is the free agent, representing themselves."

"Among them, the Domain Lord faction is essentially the various Star Lords recommending suitable candidates to the Domain Lord, who then decides on the final candidates. The quotas are limited, generally not exceeding ten people."

"People from the War God Temple faction all originate from the War God Temple. In fact, they don't need to participate in the Four Star Domain Competition; the War God Temple itself has quotas to enter the God City. The War God Temple faction has the fewest people, generally just five."

"Finally, there are the free agents, which are the rogue cultivators. The number of rogue cultivators is the largest, reaching hundreds of millions each year."

"One year before the Four Star Domain Competition begins, the various star systems will conduct a large number of competitions. The winners advance and the losers retreat, deciding the final participants, which is usually around a thousand people each time."

Lin Moyu nodded slightly; he could fully understand what Zhang Ziyue was saying.

Personnel from the Domain Lord faction and the War God Temple faction do not need to participate in round after round of competitions and can directly participate in the Four Star Domain Competition.

As for those free agents, because there are simply too many of them, they need to compete first, holding preliminary rounds, and only the winners are qualified to stand out.

Zhang Ziyue poured himself a glass of wine very familiarly and gulped it down, "Looking at the past records, among the three parties, the people from the War God Temple are often the strongest."

"So they are also known as seeded players. Just like in the top hundred of the previous edition, our Vermilion Bird Star Domain only occupied 8 spots, and among these 8 people, 4 were from the War God Temple."

"Of the remaining 4 people, 2 were from the Domain Lord faction, and 2 were free agents."

"In particular, the rankings of these 4 were not as good as the 4 from the War God Temple."

Lin Moyu looked at Zhang Ziyue; he heard a different flavor in Zhang Ziyue's words, "Senior Brother Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Ziyue said, "To be honest, Junior Brother Lin, I joined the War God Temple long ago. I wonder if Junior Brother Lin has any interest in joining the War God Temple."

So that was it; Lin Moyu finally understood that Zhang Ziyue had come to recruit people.
