Upon hearing that, Li Tianming immediately understood what she meant. He at once said sternly, "Using this method to farm battle merits for me? But wouldn't that betray the Demon-Extermination Army's trust in me? I hate nothing more than treating soldiers' lives like grass and dirt. I can't do that."
"My use of this Primordial Evil Demon Eye is different from theirs. I'll strive to control the number and strength each time. Those two deputy commanders, first, don't have that control, and second, they don't care whether their subordinates live or die. They're completely risking their lives for merits, outright trading the Demon-Extermination Army's lives for their own battle merits. That's what it truly means to be inhuman." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled. "But now, we can farm in an orderly, disciplined way. We can let everyone get rich and earn merits together. To be honest, who wouldn't want merits? Especially merits they can earn with their lives intact and live long enough to spend. In the end, they'll all become opportunities for promotion. For everyone in the Eighth Demon-Extermination Army, this is absolutely a good thing."
Li Tianming's eyes lit up at her words.
"Put that way, it really is tempting! But I'll definitely take the lion's share of these merits. Letting them drink a little broth is already a tremendous kindness. Being able to farm battle merits with virtually zero casualties—that's the most comfortable thing!" Li Tianming's gaze blazed as he continued, "So this isn't us holding a double standard and setting up a moral monument for ourselves. Even if they knew what we were doing, they'd absolutely support it with both hands and both feet. But to be safe, this can never be known by a single outsider..."
"Of course." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile.
