Chapter 463: It Turns Out the Identity of a Divine General Is So Useful

Jia Lan Lie Yang pulled Lin Mo Yu, "No way, I'm only a one-star colonel..."

As Jia Lan Lie Yang said this, he felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he was already level 82, yet he was only a one-star colonel.

The reason was that he had been wandering in the Ancient Battlefield for a long time, killing demons and dragons, but not earning much military merit.

If he had been in the main battlefield all this time, he would at least have become a seven-star or eight-star colonel by now.

Lin Mo Yu smiled, "It's alright, I have the qualifications."

Jia Lan Lie Yang did not doubt Lin Mo Yu's words. Although Lin Mo Yu was only level 52, his performance showed that he could not be judged by common sense.

The two walked towards the officer-exclusive passage. 

Those queuing up revealed mocking smiles.

"Are these two guys crazy? That's the officer-exclusive passage."

"That knight is wearing a one-star colonel insignia. Although he is an officer, he is far from being a six-star colonel."

"Yeah, and that other guy... wait, he's only level 52." 

"I'll be damned, how did a level 52 get in here?"

"He must be using some rare item to hide his level."

"But high or low level doesn't matter here, only military merit counts."

"Let's see, they'll be kicked out soon."

Lin Mo Yu had already entered the store, where there was a separate area for officers, completely separated from ordinary customers.

There would be dedicated staff to serve here, allowing officers to enjoy special treatment and feel superior.

The military management was extremely strict, with meticulous rules for every corner that were strictly enforced. There was no room for flexibility.

The items sold here were mostly things useful in the lower realm.

All kinds of materials were available.

Jia Lan Lie Yang said in a low voice, "There is no trading hall in the ancient city, so all materials are traded here."

Even the usually loud and unrestrained Jia Lan Lie Yang spoke softly here.

Not even two seconds after they entered, a female soldier approached them.

"Please show your military insignias." 

"If you do not meet the requirements, please go to the other passage to queue."

She had a somewhat stern appearance, carrying the aura unique to soldiers.

From the military insignia on her shoulder, she was an eight-star lieutenant.

She saw the one-star colonel insignia on Jia Lan Lie Yang's shoulder, gave him a military salute first, and then said, "You are a one-star colonel and do not meet the requirements here."

Then she looked at Lin Mo Yu, "And your military insignia?"

She looked at Lin Mo Yu with a strange gaze, even with a hint of disdain.

As a soldier, one would generally not remove their military insignia.

The military insignia represented the honor of a soldier.

But Lin Mo Yu did not have one on his shoulder, so either he was not a soldier, or he did not respect the military insignia.

In her eyes, Lin Mo Yu most likely belonged to the latter.

Lin Mo Yu calmly took out his military insignia and pinned it on his shoulder.

The purple military insignia carried a noble aura, with two solid stars shining brightly, and another outlined star also glowing.

After seeing Lin Mo Yu's military insignia, the disdain in her eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by intense shock and disbelief.

The next second, the shock turned into deep respect.

She immediately stood at attention and gave Lin Mo Yu a perfectly standard military salute, calling out loudly, "Ancient City Military Unit 86th Squad, Ling Nan, greeting the Divine General!"

Lin Mo Yu nodded, "I should have the qualifications, right?"

"Yes!" Ling Nan answered without hesitation.

Lin Mo Yu asked again, "What about my friend?"

Ling Nan immediately responded loudly, "According to the rules, a Divine General can authorize sufficient privileges to anyone."

Jia Lan Lie Yang was even more shocked than Ling Nan.

He had guessed that Lin Mo Yu's military rank would not be low, but he never expected Lin Mo Yu to be a Divine General.

He felt flustered, as if the world had changed too quickly and become too miraculous.

Had he grown old? In the few years he had been in the Ancient Battlefield, had the outside world changed so much?

Moreover, Lin Mo Yu was not an ordinary Divine General, but a two-star Divine General.

This meant that Lin Mo Yu had killed demon kings, existences equivalent to the divine-level experts of the human race.

A level 52 had killed such an existence... it was too unbelievable.

Lin Mo Yu said to Ling Nan, "Lieutenant Ling Nan, I want to purchase a map of the lower realm."

Ling Nan immediately replied, "Please follow me, Divine General."

Officers in the store had dedicated staff to serve them, which was a privilege set by the military for qualified officers.

To enjoy this privilege, one had to kill demons, earn military merit, and contribute to the human race.

Contribution and reward were equal, which was very fair.

"Divine General, this is currently the most comprehensive map."

Ling Nan handed Lin Mo Yu a map. It was very detailed, marking all the currently known areas.

As long as Lin Mo Yu left an imprint on the map, it would automatically show his current location, making it very convenient to use.

"Thank you, how much is it?" Lin Mo Yu was very satisfied, as he could see the location of the Thunder Ridge Valley on the map.

Ling Nan waved her hand, "No charge."

Lin Mo Yu was surprised, "Free?" 

Ling Nan nodded repeatedly, "Divine Generals have many privileges and can use many facilities in the ancient city for free."

Lin Mo Yu guessed it was probably the same as in the main battlefield fortresses.

Divine Generals could use various military facilities without any cost.

Lin Mo Yu did not refuse, putting away the map. Since there were such rules, then it was his due.

Lin Mo Yu asked again, "Do you have any detailed information about the lower realm?"

"We do, but the information in the store is not very comprehensive. Please wait a moment, Divine General."

Ling Nan contacted someone through her communicator. Lin Mo Yu heard an exaggerated voice coming from the communicator.

After ending the communication, Ling Nan said, "Divine General, please wait a moment, someone will bring the detailed information shortly."

Lin Mo Yu nodded, "Then tell me, what other useful things are sold in this store?"

"Yes, sir."

Outside the store, those still queuing wondered, "Why haven't those two been kicked out yet?"

"Could it be that the young man is a six-star colonel?"

"I don't think so, I saw he didn't even have a military insignia on." 

"Maybe he took it off?"

"Have you ever seen an officer take off their military insignia, especially in this ancient city?"

As they discussed, a person flew down from the sky and rushed into the store urgently.

"Hey, did you see that? Who was that?"

"I recognize the one in the front, that's the military commander of the ancient city, nine-star colonel Feng Yi Ming."

"The commander came over, could it be that those two have special identities?" 

"No, it should be that young man who has an unusual identity. I also recognize the other one, he's the deputy leader of the Jia Lan Guild, Jia Lan Lie Yang."

Although the Jia Lan Guild was the number one guild of the Shenxia Empire and even the entire human race, compared to the military, it was insignificant.

At least Jia Lan Lie Yang did not have the qualifications to enter the officer-exclusive passage. His deputy leader status was not useful in the ancient city.

So the one who could alarm the military commander Feng Yi Ming must be that young man.

At this moment, everyone was guessing Lin Mo Yu's identity.

But no one could guess it correctly.

Inside the store, Feng Yi Ming respectfully saluted Lin Mo Yu, "Ancient City Military Commander, nine-star colonel Feng Yi Ming, greeting the Divine General!"

Just from his attire, Lin Mo Yu could tell that Feng Yi Ming was from the Feng family.

The Feng family was a military family, with generation after generation serving as soldiers, carrying a unique aura.

Lin Mo Yu smiled, "Commander Feng, no need to be so courteous."

Although Lin Mo Yu spoke casually, Feng Yi Ming did not dare be disrespectful to a Divine General.

This was a military rule, and as someone from a military family, he took it very seriously.

He never expected that a Divine General would come to the Ancient City, so he rushed over as soon as he received the news.

Moreover, it was not an ordinary one-star Divine General, but a true two-star Divine General who had killed demon kings.

This was a symbol of strength. How could he not show respect?

Feng Yi Ming took out a few thick books, "Divine General, this is all the information we currently have about the lower realm."

"Where would you like to read it?"

Lin Mo Yu took the materials, "I'll read it here."
