Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 360 - 348: Seeking Backup, Technical Support, Rushing in Both Directions! The Hardworking Logistical Staff and the Savior!

Chapter 360: Chapter 348: Seeking Backup, Technical Support, Rushing in Both Directions! The Hardworking Logistical Staff and the Savior!

But Lin Zhong, impatient with trivial matters, delegated the task of liaising with Chu Feng to Secretary Wang and increased Chu Feng’s authority, asking Secretary Wang to cooperate as much as possible.

Therefore, even being woken up by Chu Feng, all he could do was harbor his resentment and lazily salute, saying,

"Captain Chu, please speak."

"Sorry to trouble Secretary Wang."

Chu Feng, grinning, said something astonishing, "I’ve now infiltrated a Demon Clan encampment and plan to wipe out all the Demons here in one fell swoop!

"But the environment here is complex, so I need the Staff Department to come up with a poisoning strategy!

"As for credit, how about I take seventy percent and you take thirty percent?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Wang was greatly surprised, he sat up abruptly, his whole person invigorated.

Was Chu Feng planning to replicate his previous achievements?

Amazing, sleeping at home, and military merits just come knocking on the door!

He immediately responded with joy, "No problem! Captain Chu, you can send over the relevant intelligence, and I’ll gather the Staff Department to draft a battle plan right away!"

"Good."

After Chu Feng sent over the relevant intelligence, including the map of the Demon Clan encampment, the types and names of the poisons he carried, as well as his tactical requirements,

Secretary Wang immediately, with a mischievous grin, dialed the Staff Department’s duty office, laughing, "This is the Commander’s Secretariat. Military merits are knocking on the door, time to call your superiors to pee... no, to get to work!"

"..."

Merely ten minutes later, Chu Feng received the battle plan that Secretary Wang had sent over.

He carefully read through it once and was pleasantly surprised, exclaiming, "To come up with such a detailed plan in such short time, Commander Lin’s subordinates are truly elite!

"Secretary Wang, you’ve worked hard, and so have all my colleagues on the staff!"

Secretary Wang, with a beaming smile, said, "It’s nothing. Cooperating with Captain Chu’s work is our duty."

He rubbed his hands together and asked, "That thing you mentioned, about the seventy-thirty split..."

Chu Feng chuckled, "A gentleman’s word is his bond; I won’t go back on my word."

Secretary Wang immediately burst into hearty laughter, "Captain Chu is straightforward. If you have more tasks like this in the future, feel free to come to me—the more, the merrier!"

For him, this kind of job had no difficulty whatsoever.

To outsource it to the Staff Department and be able to get a share of the substantial military merits without fighting or killing was just too good a deal!

And for the several officers at the Staff Department who had just been rudely awakened, they were full of complaints at first.

But as soon as they learned about the military merits as a reward, they perked up immediately.

Because for the Staff Department and logistical support personnel like Secretary Wang, military merits are an exceedingly precious and scarce resource.

The Demon Extermination Army, in order to encourage warriors to fight bravely, has always been generous to those soldiers on the front lines risking their lives, granting military merits liberally.

But when it comes to logistical and support departments, they can be somewhat stingy.

The Equipment Manufacturing Department, Medical and Pharmaceutical Division, and Catering Corps, these sorts of production departments, are better off; highly skilled people do have chances to stand out and can obtain more military merits than even the front-line soldiers can.

For example, by developing ultra-efficient new equipment for exterminating the Demon Clan, or by crafting a precious Taoist Tool, or by developing better Healing Pills;

"Imagine giving five cookhouse warriors half an hour’s time, and they’ll whip up meals enough to satisfy the appetites of a thousand warriors in a battalion, not to mention the color, aroma, and taste, they even remember to fry some caramel..."

"However, for departments like the Staff Department and Secretary Office, although they are closer to the commanding officer and have an easier time winning favor due to excellent work performance, they almost have no avenues to earn military merits."

"Every day, they diligently sit at their desks, earning not only a salary but also a meager monthly regular military merit allowance, which at most can be exchanged for a few advanced cultivation elixirs or potions."

"Even during military drills or times of war, the staff officers and secretaries who stick to their regular duties can only gain an additional military merit stipend."

"Unless they can come up with astonishingly brilliant ideas or form incredibly effective tactics that directly or indirectly influence the outcome of battles, help their side decisively defeat the allied forces, or play a very active role in the fight against the demons..."

"If they achieve something that greatly pleases the commander, they certainly won’t be short of military merits, but such lucky chances are too rare to come by."

"Especially now, when concepts of warfare have matured and become meticulous, every historical tactic and strategy that once amazed people has already been analyzed to death, leaving no secrets to discover."

"Wanting to astonish everyone and make a name for oneself, when all your peers are intimately familiar with military theories and have a clear understanding of battle situations, is like hoping for a lightning strike of inspiration akin to winning the lottery."

"And the things that can be exchanged with military merits are so enticing to them."

"Powerful cultivation techniques, martial techniques, secret techniques, top-notch Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that enhance one’s talents and speed up cultivation, as well as rare and powerful senior True Artifacts and even Taoist Tools..."

"These items can not only be used personally to strengthen one’s combat abilities and increase the odds of survival on the battlefield."

"Even after paying an extra military merit fee, they could still pass them on to their children, leaving a legacy for the next generation!"

"While passing on such things to descendants continues to cost military merits and comes with various restrictions, and high-end techniques aren’t included."

"But even mid-level techniques are enough to elevate a small Martial Family to prominence!"

"——This is the normal state of society; everyone despises Noble Families, but also wishes they themselves could be one!"

"Therefore, the civilian personnel in departments like the Staff Department and Secretary Office are incredibly envious of military merits."

"..."

"They never had the opportunity before, but now, Chu Feng has arrived!"

"On the first day Chu Feng arrived, the entire military district was abuzz with news that Commander Lin had brought back a minor deity—"

"It was Chu Feng, the ruthless figure who single-handedly annihilated a Demon Clan camp and caused a media frenzy!"

"Lin Zhong directly bestowed upon Chu Feng the unheard-of privilege of ’acting with discretion,’ allowing him to operate outside of the combat sequence, yet nobody questioned this decision."

"Because the evidence was right before their eyes, no one doubted Chu Feng’s ability to cause trouble—"

"The destruction of the Demon Clan camp had made a small fortune for the warriors who participated in the previous extermination, risk-free at that, as if just reaching out and the money fell into their own pockets."

"This tantalized the staff members who had no chance to participate in the extermination."

"And now, Chu Feng had approached them, offering military merits in exchange for collaborating with the Staff Department!"

"It was like a pie falling from the sky, their years of suppressed knowledge finally finding a place to be applied in times of peace!"

"They could exchange their knowledge for precious military merits without breaking any laws or military regulations... This was an opportunity for high returns on private work, all above board!"

"Where else could they find such a deal?"

"Even though they had to give part of the military merits to Secretary Wang as commission for his role in making the connection, it was far better than scratching their heads in vain and smelling nothing!"

"Thus, with great enthusiasm, they divided the work with astonishing speed and collaboration, and eventually compiled a highly feasible poisoning strategy."

"There was just one target: to exploit the mechanisms of poison to the greatest extent and aim to eliminate all the demons in the camp in one fell swoop, turning them all into military merits."

"Not a single one would be allowed to escape!"
