Is This Guy Really Human?

"Old Chen, I heard Councillor Lin went hunting in the Wilderness Zone today? And he specifically notified our military district?" Outside Kyoto Base City, Wang Xiao, the War God warrior responsible for guarding the military district, chatted idly with Chen Cheng, the officer in charge of command.

"Yeah. As expected of Commander Jia's disciple—he's a truly responsible person." As Chen Cheng looked through the documents, he praised him.

Although Huaxia's direct-line Councillor level experts were required to sell a batch of materials to the state at a low price every year,

Councillor level experts were, after all, the true ruling class. Their authority came from their own strength, and ordinary public opinion had no way of affecting their status.

Given the Councillors' strength, they could easily enter the Wilderness Zone alone, kill monsters, and then directly trade the materials in Base Cities outside Huaxia.

If certain matters were investigated too closely, neither side would be able to save face. Therefore, as long as the Councillors did not go too far or make it too obvious, the state would often turn a blind eye.

But reporting it to the military district was different. The unspoken meaning of such a report was, "The gains from my trip will be contributed to the state. Prepare to receive them."

With Jia Yi, a Councillor who was not weak even among Planetary level experts, overseeing things, at least a group of Huaxia's direct-line Councillors strictly followed this rule.

"He's only fifteen, right? He's really proactive." Wang Xiao was somewhat surprised. "And if a Councillor level expert takes action, he should be able to kill an advanced Lord level monster. Selling advanced Lord level materials to the state at a low price is basically giving away several billion."

Normally, materials from an advanced Lord level monster could fetch around ten billion, but since it was a contribution to the state, the purchase price would naturally be lower.

Generally speaking, the low-price purchase quota meant the price was cut in half. Getting five or six billion for advanced Lord level materials was already quite good.

"That's why Councillor Lin truly has the nation in his heart. And Councillor Lin must have received an excellent upbringing since childhood." Chen Cheng said, "His father, Officer Lin Meng, is also a fierce general. Over the years, he has earned far more merits than most people, including several first-class merits."

"First-class merits... Even for a War God, earning such great merit isn't easy. Fierce Dragon War God Lin Meng was someone who ventured deep into a Beast Tide and came back alive." Wang Xiao sighed. Though he was also a War God, he did not dare risk his life several times every year like Lin Meng. "Their whole family is incredible. But speaking of which, Councillor Lin doesn't seem to have a girlfriend yet, does he?"

"What girlfriend? How old is he? What, you old lecher, are you planning to have your daughter seduce Councillor Lin?" Chen Cheng glared at him.

"What do you mean, seduce? My daughter is pretty and sensible. Maybe one day she'll run into Councillor Lin, and they'll fall for each other at first sight. They'd be a perfect match, made for each other." Wang Xiao happily indulged in the fantasy.

"How many peanuts did you eat to get this drunk? Want to take a cephalosporin pill and sober up?" Chen Cheng rolled his eyes.

Of course, he also understood that love was impossible to predict. Besides, given Wang Xiao's status as a War God, his daughter really did have a chance to come into contact with Lin Qingyu.

Just then, the base alarm suddenly sounded.

"What happened?" Chen Cheng immediately connected to the radar room.

"Report, Commander. A massive target has been detected approaching at an altitude of ninety kilometers outside the base. Based on its size, it is very likely a King level monster."

The radar room gave its report.

"A King level monster? Why would it actively approach a military base? And fly here, at that?" Chen Cheng was puzzled, but puzzled or not, he did not hesitate to issue the necessary orders.

"Prepare the King level Laser Cannon! If that beast dares fly over here, send it straight to the afterlife!"

Although humans and monsters had an agreement—King level monsters would not participate in Beast Tides, and humans would not use Laser Cannons against King level monsters—that was only as long as King level monsters did not invade human territory. If a King level monster approached a military district, then they would naturally blast it to death without hesitation.

At that moment, the communications device suddenly rang.

"Hello, is this Officer Chen? This is Lin Qingyu. I've finished hunting. According to the rules, I'll sell this batch of monster materials to the state, but there's quite a lot this time. I hope you can send more people to receive them."

Lin Qingyu's still slightly youthful voice came through the communicator.

"Alright, no problem. I'll immediately arrange for people to receive you, Councillor Lin. However, a King level monster has been detected near the base, and we're preparing to use the Laser Cannon. Send me your coordinates so we don't accidentally injure you."

"Ahem. Officer Chen, that so-called 'King level monster' you mentioned might be me." Hearing Chen Cheng's response, Lin Qingyu sounded both amused and helpless.

"What?" Chen Cheng did not understand at first.

"I killed an Earth Dragon King, and I'm currently bringing its corpse toward the military district. What you detected should be me," Lin Qingyu explained.

"An Earth... Earth Dragon King! You killed an Earth Dragon King?!" Chen Cheng's voice cracked in shock.

An Earth Dragon King's cellular activity was far stronger than that of ordinary monsters, and it could burrow underground.

Even if Jia Yi personally took action, he would not dare guarantee that he could kill an Earth Dragon King.

After all, King level monsters possessed intelligence. If they could not win, they could still run away.

"I remember now. Councillor Lin... is also a Mental Master, isn't he?" Wang Xiao suddenly said.

"That's right, a Mental Master. If he used Mental Power to control weapons, then it would indeed be possible to kill an Earth Dragon King. But this is still... still hard to accept. That was an Earth Dragon King! It's a troublesome creature even among King level monsters!" Chen Cheng said.

"Alright, Old Chen. We'll know once we go take a look. Also, remember to notify your men not to let the Laser Cannon misfire," Wang Xiao said.

"The Laser Cannon is the most precise technological weapon there is. How could it possibly misfire?" As Chen Cheng gathered personnel to receive Lin Qingyu, he also reported the intelligence that Lin Qingyu had killed an Earth Dragon King to Jia Yi.

Lin Qingyu descended into the open area specially prepared for him by the military district, bringing the Earth Dragon King's corpse and a large quantity of Lord level materials.

"Hiss—" Although he had been mentally prepared, Chen Cheng still sucked in a cold breath when he saw the hundred-meter-long Earth Dragon King corpse Lin Qingyu had brought.

"This is an advanced Lord level Beast King Tiger, and an Earth Shaking Bear King. Wait, this is a Hundred-Foot Flying Centipede..." Wang Xiao looked at the enormous quantity of Lord level materials Lin Qingyu had brought and exclaimed in astonishment, "Even a Councillor level expert wouldn't hunt this many advanced Lords in a single trip."

Chen Cheng helplessly shook his head as he watched Wang Xiao continually make a fuss. After all, he also found the result unbelievable.

However, when Lin Qingyu said he had killed a King level monster, Chen Cheng had already expected something like this.

That was right. Councillors indeed did not dare slaughter large numbers of advanced Lords at will, but that was because they feared drawing retaliation from King level monsters.

But Lin Qingyu had slaughtered the King level monster as well. Naturally, he could kill as many advanced Lord level monsters as he wanted.

"Report, Commander. The measurement results are out. This Earth Dragon King's strength in life was comparable to that of a veteran Councillor level expert." The testing expert reported to Chen Cheng in an equally disbelieving tone.

A veteran Councillor level expert possessed strength close to Jia Yi's level!

Hearing the testing expert's report, Chen Cheng looked at Lin Qingyu with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

He truly could not imagine that this handsome youth, who was not even an adult yet, had killed a veteran Councillor level King level monster without suffering so much as a scratch.

That was Speaker level strength, wasn't it? Lin Qingyu was only fifteen this year! Was this guy really human?
