Chapter 209 Merit Points
Chapter 209 Merit Points
As soon as the door of Dali Temple fell, Donghuang Taiyi came face to face with the Dali Temple staff who came over. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
"Hello, I heard that if I want to go to the upper realm, I have to come to you to register first, right?"
When the staff heard that Donghuang Taiyi came to register, he was stunned for a moment and said unhappily.
"Can't you come during the day to register? Why did you have to come in the middle of the night and even broke down our door?"
"sorry!"
"Never mind, it's alright, come with me! The pet is waiting outside."
After the Dali Temple staff member finished speaking, he held up a lantern and motioned Donghuang Taiyi to follow him.
"You are lucky, kid. It is Master Wu who is on duty today. If you meet someone with a bad temper, I will definitely make you go away today and come back tomorrow."
"Your last name is Wu? Are you also from the Wu family?"
Donghuang Taiyi asked this question in disbelief. The Wu family was really omnipresent! Even the Dali Temple had people there. And judging from Master Wu's clothes, his position seemed to be very low, just an ordinary position in the Dali Temple. But they didn't let him go even for this?
"Yes!" Master Wu replied to Donghuang Taiyi.
After Master Wu finished speaking, both his expression and actions seemed to reveal a sense of dejection in Donghuang Taiyi's eyes.
Donghuang Taiyi didn’t understand why this happened and just thought that Master Wu had a painful past!
Donghuang Taiyi didn't ask any more questions.
Master Wu brought Donghuang Taiyi to a room. Master Wu entered the room alone, leaving Donghuang Taiyi outside. When Master Wu came out, he had a sign in his hand.
Master Wu took the sign and asked Donghuang Taiyi.
"what's your name?"
Donghuang Taiyi thought about it. Wei Ergou? No, Wei Qinghe is gone, why use this crappy name?
So Donghuang Taiyi thought of a new name.
“Purple dragon, purple as in purple, real dragon as in dragon.”
After learning the name of Donghuang Taiyi, Master Wu held the sign in his left hand, put his right index finger and middle finger together, and wrote out Zilong's name on the sign.
Then he threw the sign to Donghuang Taiyi.
"Okay, Zilong, take it."
Donghuang Taiyi took the sign, looked at it, and found that it was the same as the sign that the man in white had shown to the guard soldiers before.
It turns out he was also a participant.
"This badge will represent your identity from now on, and it will also record your achievements for the Daqian Dynasty."
What Master Wu said immediately aroused Donghuang Taiyi's curiosity.
"Record achievements? How do you record them?"
When hearing Donghuang Taiyi's question, Master Wu answered very calmly, and his tone was very concise and clear, as if he was already used to this question.
"Try to inject your energy into this waist badge."
"Um...I'm a star warrior, I don't have any energy."
"Oh!"
When the Wu family heard Donghuang Taiyi say that he was a star warrior, they immediately became excited and looked at Donghuang Taiyi.
"You are indeed a star warrior. What realm are you in, boy?"
"Ninth level of Wuling Realm."
"Ninth level of Wuling Realm! Great, great, you are still young but have great potential! Just inject the power of stars into it. Both the power of stars and the energy of Yuan are applicable to this waist badge."
After getting the answer from Master Wu, Donghuang Taiyi injected his star power into the badge with confidence.
After the power of the stars was injected into the waist badge, a word emerged from the waist badge.
This word means "zero".
"Interesting, so this is how it's recorded! But...how does he record my achievements?"
After a brief excitement, Donghuang Taiyi asked Master Wu.
"During the day, there will be someone in the Merit Hall who will be responsible for rewriting the numbers on your badges. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must have made the corresponding merits."
"Yeah! I understand."
It's just not smart enough. If I were to do it, it would definitely be better than this.
"What do I need to do to gain merit?"
"They're all in the lobby. You can go and see them yourself during the day. I have to go on patrol now. You should go back too."
After saying that, Master Wu went outside holding the lantern.
"During the day...what's the point of watching it during the day? Of course I have to watch it now."
After Master Wu left, Donghuang Taiyi also walked out immediately.
Although Donghuang Taiyi didn't know where the Hall of Merit was, he thought there should be a sign hanging there!
Donghuang Taiyi explored all the way and came to an extremely gorgeous room. On the top of the door of this room, there was a plaque with three large characters "Hall of Merit" hanging on it.
Donghuang Taiyi went forward and saw that the door was not locked, so he opened it and walked in.
After entering the Hall of Merits, Donghuang Taiyi's first feeling was that he had entered a guild.
The bar cabinet that can be seen at a glance, and the bulletin board hanging on the wall behind the bar cabinet. Donghuang Taiyi walked closer and saw that the bulletin board was full of task orders similar to bounty orders.
Donghuang Taiyi took a casual glance and saw a picture of a snake monster on one of the task books.
It says on it a sixth-level monster, the red-gold python.
The reward for merit is five million.
Location: Red Lotus Earth Core Cave.
"Five million merits for killing a sixth-level monster, is that a lot?"
Since no one explained it, Donghuang Taiyi had to search by himself, hoping to find something with some explanation.
Finally, Donghuang Taiyi found an instruction manual in the bar cabinet, which was an instruction manual about the monster's merits.
It was written on the paper that killing a first-level monster would give ten merit points.
Killing a second-level monster will give you 100 merit points.
And so on.
A sixth-level monster is worth one million merit points.
Why would this red-gold python give five million merits, which is so much less than that of an ordinary sixth-level monster?
The answer lies in the bounty on the Red-Gold Python.
The bounty order stated that only by destroying the Red Gold Python and handing over the treasure it was guarding in the Red Lotus Core Cave, the Red Lotus Core Fire, could one receive five million merit points.
"I think the only one who can use merit points to offer a bounty is the Great Qian Emperor. That guy said that the Great Qian Emperor is the Martial Emperor. If he is the Martial Emperor, then why doesn't he go himself? Or is this bounty order not issued by the Great Qian Emperor?"
Thinking of this problem, Donghuang Taiyi carefully observed the bounty order and found the name of the person who was offering the bounty.
Wu Xianling.
"You can actually issue bounties. This is really becoming more and more like a guild."
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the name on the bounty, and then went to the bulletin board to check other bounties.
I found that in addition to personal bounties like this, there were also bounties from the Daqian Dynasty.
"I see. It seems that these merit points can also be used as currency!"
"Yes, in Daqian, merit points are a currency used by monks to trade materials. As long as you have enough wealth, even if you are a loser, you can pile up merit points and enter the upper realm."
This sentence was not said by Donghuang Taiyi, the voice came from outside.
Donghuang Taiyi turned around and saw an old man holding a lantern appearing outside the door of the Hall of Merit.
"Aren't you on patrol? Why are you here?"
"Is it not okay for the patrol to come here?"
"Okay, of course."
After Donghuang Taiyi finished speaking, he also walked outside. It was almost dawn, and he planned to go out to look for Baihu and spend a day outside the city.
Master Wu watched Donghuang Taiyi walking outside. Master Wu stopped Donghuang Taiyi and asked curiously.
"Just leaving like that? Do you understand how to obtain merit points?"
"Almost. At least I know everything about the monsters now."
Master Wu looked at the calm Donghuang Taiyi, and suddenly spoke to him with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"Really? Then do you want to know how many merit points the person with the most merit points has now?"
"How many?"
Hearing that he could know this, Donghuang Taiyi asked curiously.
This is extremely crucial. As long as he knows the current highest merit point, Donghuang Taiyi can judge whether he can go to Guxuan Star in three years or thirteen years.
Master Wu looked at the anxious Donghuang Taiyi and pointed at the wall on the right side of the hall.
"Here, right there."
Donghuang Taiyi looked in the direction that Master Wu pointed, and saw a large blackboard with no words on it.
Donghuang Taiyi looked at Master Wu in confusion.
"Use your star power to activate it, and you will be able to see it."
Oh! So that’s it. It’s the same as the competition badge.
Donghuang Taiyi walked in to activate it, and the names of the contestants and their scores appeared on the blackboard in golden letters.
One hundred in total.
This big blackboard actually directly ranks the top 100 people with the highest merit points.
