Chapter 491: This World Definitely Has a Big Secret
A deep voice interrupted everyone’s speculation.
A burly warrior clad in heavy armor and wielding a giant axe walked over.
His gaze was directed towards the direction Lin Moyu had just left, "His name is Lin Moyu, and he’s not even 20 years old."
"He only completed his job transfer last year, entering the Xia Capital Academy as the national top scorer, and then in the Xia Capital Academy..." He recounted Lin Moyu’s experiences in detail.
The legendary experiences left everyone dumbfounded.
Someone had reached level 53 in less than two years, and their combat power was comparable to that of a deity.
Even in legendary myths, such feats were unheard of.
The storyteller was named Xiong Dali, a well-known figure in Shenxia Ancient City, leading a 30-member BOSS raiding team.
He himself was an 85-level berserker, equipped with several top-tier items, allowing him to function as a knight.
No one doubted his words.
Xiong Dali continued, "You all must have been away from the human world for too long. If you go back and ask around, you’ll hear about General Lin."
"Also, our human race has produced another Earth Knight. After so many years, the glory of the Earth Knights will shine again."
"Let me tell you, General Lin has already obtained one **[Primordial Rune]**, and this is his second. If you’re not afraid of death, go ahead and challenge him."
Xiong Dali’s eyes were filled with disdain as he scanned the crowd before turning to leave.
He was kindly advising these clueless individuals not to throw their lives away.
After all, they were all humans. Dying here was less valuable than dying in battle against demons.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling a bit scared.
Fortunately, they hadn’t gone to challenge Lin Moyu, or they would have been walking into their deaths.
"One person obtaining two **[Primordial Runes]**, how lucky must he be?"
"I feel that once General Lin steps into the divine level, it will be the end of the Abyssal Demons."
"I think so too. This time, our human race might really have a chance to counterattack the Abyss!"
"Yes, counterattack the Abyss and kill all the demons!"
The group became excited, roaring in low voices.
This sentiment quickly spread throughout the ancient city, and Lin Moyu’s various deeds also spread rapidly.
Lin Moyu didn’t know that his casual walk had caused such a stir.
He entered the shop, going directly through the officer-exclusive passage.
This time, there were already people in the shop. Ling Nan was explaining something to a seven-star colonel.
As soon as Lin Moyu entered, the entire shop was bathed in a layer of red light.
The seven-star colonel also turned to look at Lin Moyu, muttering, "**[Primordial Rune]**, and only level 53?" His eyes sparkled with interest.
Seeing Lin Moyu, Ling Nan quickly ran over, saluting respectfully, "Greetings, General."
Her eyes widened slightly. Lin Moyu had gone from a two-star general to a three-star general in just a few days. This shocked her, and her respect deepened.
Lin Moyu nodded, "You can continue with your work. Come find me when you’re done."
With that, Lin Moyu walked into the shop.
Ling Nan returned to the seven-star colonel, "Do you need anything else? I can continue explaining."
The seven-star colonel was stunned, muttering, "He’s a general?"
Ling Nan nodded, "General Lin Moyu. You just came from the Yuan Battlefield, so you should have heard of him."
"He is Lin Moyu!" The colonel was shocked, "Didn’t he just obtain the **[Primordial Rune]**?"
Then he abruptly fell silent, his whole body trembling with shock.
He had just seen Lin Moyu obtain the second **[Primordial Rune]**.
With a complex expression, he quickly left the shop.
Ling Nan approached Lin Moyu, "General Lin, what would you like to buy?"
Lin Moyu said, "I need some potion bottles, the best quality ones. Do you have them?"
Ling Nan noted it down, "Yes, how many do you need?"
"Give me 200."
Lin Moyu needed 100 for himself and bought an extra 100 as a backup.
Ling Nan noted his request, "Anything else?"
"I also need some boxes, large enough to hold one-meter-long bones."
Lin Moyu explained his requirements, and Ling Nan noted them all.
"The potion bottles are no problem, but the boxes might need to be custom-made, which could take some time."
Lin Moyu asked, "How many days?"
Ling Nan replied, "About three days. The boxes aren’t made in the ancient city but in the No. 5 Fortress of the Yuan Battlefield."
The No. 5 Fortress had many blacksmiths, and many military supplies were produced there.
"Alright." Lin Moyu handed a segment of the Poisonous Dragon’s spine to Ling Nan, "Use this as the size for the custom boxes."
Ling Nan instinctively used a detection spell on the spine, shivering in shock.
She exclaimed, "Is this the Poisonous Dragon from the Wild Continent’s Poisonous Land?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
Ling Nan couldn’t help but say, "That Poisonous Dragon killed many people. I heard the Eagle Guild organized a team to kill it, but I didn’t expect General Lin to have done it."
The shop was bustling, and Ling Nan was well-informed.
She took the spine to have the boxes custom-made.
Lin Moyu returned to his residence and extracted all the spinal fluid from the Poisonous Dragon, storing it in potion bottles.
Each bottle contained only one drop. The spinal fluid was crystal clear and very beautiful.
Each drop was the best antidote, and if processed by a divine-level alchemist, its effect could be further enhanced.
Both the spinal fluid and the spine were extremely valuable.
For three days, Lin Moyu stayed in his residence, organizing his thoughts.
He pondered the various pieces of information he had recently obtained, trying to piece together what had happened in the past. He felt like he was caught in a huge mystery.
Few people in the world had the qualifications to unravel this mystery.
Antares might know everything, but Lin Moyu knew Antares wouldn’t tell him.
Now that he had the qualifications to solve the mystery, he needed to explore further.
From all the information and Antares’s existence, Lin Moyu was certain that this world held a big secret.
Three days later, Ling Nan brought the custom boxes.
The boxes were beautifully made, just the right size for the spine segments.
Lin Moyu packed the spine segments into the boxes in front of her.
A hundred boxes didn’t take up much space.
As professionals level up, their storage space also increases, enough to hold these boxes.
Ling Nan said, "Because these boxes are for General Lin, we used the best platinum-grade materials, ensuring long-term preservation of the spine."
Lin Moyu could see that the materials were indeed excellent.
"How much?" Lin Moyu asked after packing.
Ling Nan quickly waved her hand, "No charge. You have the privilege as a general."
Lin Moyu frowned slightly. Although they were just boxes, the materials weren’t cheap.
Plus, the blacksmiths’ labor costs made them quite valuable.
Generals did have privileges, but it didn’t mean they didn’t have to pay.
From the moment he became a professional, Lin Moyu knew that all contributions and rewards were equal.
He didn’t bother calculating and directly handed a box to Ling Nan, "Take this as payment."
Ling Nan was shocked, "I can’t accept this. The captain will scold me."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Tell him I insisted. If he dares to scold you, let him come to me."
"That’s final."
Ling Nan didn’t dare oppose Lin Moyu and left with the box.
A spine segment from a world BOSS was worth countless boxes.
It was legendary-grade, suitable for making legendary accessories.
It could also enhance quasi-legendary equipment to legendary status.
A single segment was worth more than a thousand boxes.
Lin Moyu didn’t care about the details and let it be.
Ling Nan, looking troubled, handed the box to Feng Yiming.
Feng Yiming was about to speak when the sky outside the ancient city suddenly darkened.
The lower space was already dim, but now it was pitch black.
Then, dark green Abyssal Fire appeared, surrounding Shenxia Ancient City.
The entire world became eerie.
