Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 378 - 366: Calculating Military Merits! The Military Zone Earns and Spends, Not a Cent to Take Home! Encountering Zheng Bo Again
Chapter 378: Chapter 366: Calculating Military Merits! The Military Zone Earns and Spends, Not a Cent to Take Home! Encountering Zheng Bo Again
Chu Feng still didn’t know that after he exhibited the "Law of Heaven and Earth," the state he was in was being secretly referred to as "Demon Form" by many, including Lin Zhong, while normally it was called "Human Form."
If he knew about this, he might feel wronged.
After all, he was a second-generation soldier, a pure-blooded genius martial artist of the Human Race—it couldn’t get any more genuine than that!
At that moment, he swaggered into the logistics manufacturing department’s exchange counter, greeted the enthusiastic clerk there, and handed over the card that Lin Zhong had given him.
"Excuse me, could you check how many military merits are in here?"
The clerk, dressed in a military uniform, immediately stood up and took the card with both hands reverently, inserting it into the card slot of the information terminal.
After one glance, he immediately turned his head, his face a mix of shock and envy as he stammered, "Captain Chu, this card, has military merits...10,810,000!"
He was almost stupefied by the shock!
That was 10,810,000 military merits!
In his fifteen years with the Demon Extermination Army, this was the first time he had seen so many military merits in a single individual’s possession!
In his view, such an outrageous number would only appear in the backend of the exchange system.
It represented the military merits circulating throughout the entire Far East Defense Line system, not an amount any individual could possess.
Today, he had truly broadened his horizons!
"..."
Meanwhile, Chu Feng calculated in his mind, ’That means, in just over a month, I have earned over 15,000,000 military merits.
’I gave Secretary Wang ten percent, the Staff Department ten percent, the logistics manufacturing department ten percent, and the cleaning crew ten percent.
’However, my material consumption, poison, and devices exchanges were all undertaken by these three departments, saving me quite a number of military merits, so the final number is 10,810,000.’
He wasn’t as urgently in need of military merits as he was of Attribute Points and didn’t bother to calculate too carefully, trusting that Secretary Wang wouldn’t short-change him on this amount of military merits.
However, speaking of military merits, it reminded him of a question, and he slightly frowned, asking, "I have a question, can my military rank be promoted?
"Do I meet the standards for promotion?"
After slaughtering so many of the Demon Clan and shedding so much blood, and still just a Captain? He was beginning to feel slightly discontent.
The clerk immediately looked at the information terminal and tapped a few times, saying, "Captain Chu, you have indeed accumulated enough achievements for a promotion.
"Previously, there was also a directive issued by Commander Lin to promote you to Major.
"However, your identity is a bit special—not yet a formal member of the Demon Extermination Army and still serving a sentence—so these promotions have been temporarily frozen.
"Once you fully join the Demon Extermination Army, and... after your sentence is completed, these achievements will immediately take effect, elevating your rank, so please wait a while!"
The clerk spoke with a nervous heart, slightly afraid as he looked towards Chu Feng, this cold-blooded demon slayer.
Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders, laughing, "No wonder. I’ve been working so hard, and yet I’m still just a Captain, with no signs of promotion.
"I was starting to think that getting promoted is harder than ascending to heaven, not even displaying the battle achievements of clearing twelve camps!"
The clerk gave a nervous smile.
Chu Feng amiably said, "Brother, no need to fear me. When I’m on the battlefield, my blade usually targets only the heads of demons.
"Give me the latest exchange list; I want to see if there’s anything good.
"The military district earns money for the military district to spend; no point in thinking of taking it home, right!"
The clerk was amused by Chu Feng’s catchy phrases and pulled out a list from the bottommost drawer, handing it to Chu Feng with both hands while smiling,
"This is the highest authority exchange list provided to you in accordance with relevant regulations. You can take your time to look at it, no rush. If you have any questions, just ask me anytime."
Chu Feng nodded, took the list, and was just about to study it in detail when suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind:
"Brother Chu, it really is you! Long time no see!"
"..."
Chu Feng, recognizing the voice, turned his head and burst out laughing, "Brother Zheng, long time no see!"
He strode forward, embraced the newcomer tightly, giving the other a fierce hug that almost made his eyes roll back in his head.
This person was none other than Zheng Bo, who had initially taken him to the first warehouse in the camp to choose treasures!
Zheng Bo was almost out of breath, struggling hard in Chu Feng’s arms, and screamed, "Chu, let me go, I’m about to suffocate!"
Only when Chu Feng released his arms did he stagger back in shock, exclaiming, "What’s your strength now, you almost strangled me to death!"
When he had first taken Chu Feng to the warehouse, he was at the middle stage of the Everlasting Realm, a small stage higher than Chu Feng.
But just over a month later, he felt an irresistible powerful force emanating from Chu Feng!
In just that brief instant, he even felt as if his arms were about to be snapped off!
Chu Feng warmly patted Zheng Bo’s shoulder and laughed, "Brother, I was lucky enough to advance to the Zhou Tian Realm.
"Let’s not talk about that, Zheng my man, you’ve been putting on airs! It’s been a month since I arrived and I haven’t even seen you once.
"The way we handled this, it was a bit unethical!"
"..."
Zheng Bo was speechless, thinking to himself, I damn thought it had been several years, but it’s only been a month, and you’ve already reached the Zhou Tian Realm?
Are you eating Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like they’re everyday meals?
He scratched his head and asked, "So, have you joined our Demon Extermination Army?"
He explained with a bitter smile, "I’ve been out on closed training for over a month, not knowing anything. I just got back today.
"After coming out of the warehouse last time, Commander Lin praised me, saying I didn’t disgrace our Far East Defense Line.
"Later, he had Secretary Wang help me sign up for a sealed training camp at headquarters, and they sent me over. I was just released today; I didn’t mean to avoid you!"
"..."
Feeling the huge gap between himself and Chu Feng, Zheng Bo couldn’t help but ask again, "Did you really advance to the Zhou Tian Realm? How long has it even been!"
Chu Feng hid his energy well, but getting closer, one could still feel that overwhelming vitality.
Zheng Bo participated in the closed training, consuming precious treasured medicine provided by headquarters, sleeping only two hours a day, and training furiously under a master’s guidance.
With multiple supports, he had opened and nurtured a total of 11 new acupoints in just one month, increasing his total number of acupoints to 34, advancing from the middle stage to the late stage of the Everlasting Realm.
He was even named and praised at the camp, establishing him as a positive example.
They said he had excellent talent and could endure hardship. By both talent and determination, he was among the strongest in the camp, a promising young talent in cultivation.
The instructor even commented that as long as he could keep it up, tap into his own talent, and survive on the battlefield, becoming a commander in the future was not out of reach!
After coming out of the training camp, he had been quite pleased with himself.
That was until he met Chu Feng again, and his joy shattered into pieces!
How long has it been, I’ve only advanced one small stage, and you damn directly advanced a whole realm?
Cultivation, what’s the damn point!
"..."
Regardless of his visibly distressed face, Chu Feng threw an arm around his shoulder and laughed heartily, "Little Brother, I just got lucky and advanced.
"I don’t care about your sealed training, we agreed to drink together, but you left me hanging for a month!
"Come on, let’s have a good talk. Tonight, you’re treating and we’ll drink till we drop!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Bo felt even more aggrieved. This guy had dealt a severe blow to his brittle heart, and now, was he really planning to shear his wool?
Chu Feng, are you still human?
But with such a disparity in their strengths, he simply couldn’t escape Chu Feng’s "coercion" and could only wave his hands, reluctantly being dragged away by Chu Feng.
"Chu, I’ll treat, I’ll treat, isn’t that okay? Let go first, I can barely breathe..."
"This is what you agreed to, ha! I didn’t force you. Hahaha!"
