Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yanw.a.n.g: Normally, 10,000 merit points can be exchanged for 1 year!
Chen Xiaobei: What?! 10,000 for only 1 year?! That’s insane! ?
Yanw.a.n.g: It’s not, actually. Think about it, you are rewarded with 10,000 merit points for killing one first-generation villain! But a regular person would never be able to acc.u.mulate so many points even if they do good things their entire life!
Chen Xiaobei: Oh…. That’s true… If a normal person has enough merit points, how are they going to exchange it? They can’t contact Chanism!
Yanw.a.n.g: They can do it through prayers! Once they have enough merit points, heaven will immediately receive their prayers! He can ask for longevity, peace, luck… No matter what he asks for, it will happen according to how much merits he has! This rule was set by the Ancestral Lord himself for the sake of promoting good in humans. He wants the people to know the heaven will always reward those that do good!
Chen Xiaobei: Is that true? Then why is it that so many good people are in bad situations?
Yanw.a.n.g: That’s because they only pray for their friends and family, some even pray for everyone in general! Every time heaven answers their prayers, their merit points are deducted. So, when bad things come to them, they will not be protected by heaven!
Chen Xiaobei: Oh, now I know… It’s not because heaven is blind but because these kind people are too selfless!
Yanw.a.n.g: Exactly! There are actually quite a lot of these people!
Chen Xiaobei: Back to serious business! Then can I play like a normal person? Then I won’t have to deal with Chanism!
Yanw.a.n.g: You can’t. If your prayer reaches the heavens, the people guarding the Merit Points Book will know that it’s you. No matter what, you cannot avoid Chanism!
Chen Xiaobei: Hmm, this is really quite troublesome. I will give Grand Deity Zhen Yuan and Laotzu’s method a try first. Using my merits will be the last resort.
Yanw.a.n.g: Yes! This is the right decision! Other than exchanging for extra life span, you can exchange for a whole lot of other stuff at Merit Points Book! You should save those merit points first. Maybe you will need them in the future.
Chen Xiaobei: What can I exchange them for? ?
Yanw.a.n.g: Theoretically, if you have enough merit points, you should be able to exchange a lot of things. But the reality is, the more valuable an item is, the more merit points it will cost! It could even reach an astronomical price! It would be difficult to get really good items. You can go ask Jiang Ziya more about it! He used to guard the Merit Points Book!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! Thank you for your guidance! I think I’ve pretty much understood everything!
Yanw.a.n.g: Good. There’s something else I want to tell you! The Duanwu festival is coming! Get ready for a wave of exciting Red Envelope s.n.a.t.c.hing Session!
Chen Xiaobei: Ooh! That is what I like! I always get a lot of Red Envelopes! But I have a question! Duanwu festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan… Why is the heavenly realm b.u.t.ting in?
Yanw.a.n.g: Who said the heavenly realm is b.u.t.ting in? We are celebrating it on our own! You haven’t received a Red Envelope for a while now, so, I especially prepared this Duanwu festival party and made sure that this whole s.n.a.t.c.hing session is legal! So that you can get more!
Chen Xiaobei: You’re saying that you are having this party for me? Brother! I don’t know to thank you!
Yanw.a.n.g: Don’t you already have the answer to that? Don’t you know what I like?
Chen Xiaobei: Understood! Spicy sticks, WaHaHa High Cal Milk, and spicy mini lobsters! I will make sure that your cravings will be satisfied!
Yanw.a.n.g: That sounds great! ? But do you have anything different? I like trying new things!
Chen Xiaobei: Of course! There’s five-kernel zongzi 1 , durian zongzi, Laoganma zongzi… There’s nothing you can’t think of that I don’t have!
Yanw.a.n.g: Sweet! Oh, just thinking about it makes me happy! Wahaha…
Chen Xiaobei: It’s all set then. Duanwu festival! Be there or be square!
Yanw.a.n.g: Of course! ?
Yanw.a.n.g: Oh! I almost forgot something! Give me one merit point now!
Chen Xiaobei: Why? ?
Yanw.a.n.g: I’ll help you upgrade your Netherspirit Battlescouter so that you can keep tabs on your lifespan. I don’t always read the Book of Life and Death. In case the Primordial Lord of Heaven wants to play any tricks again, you are aware of how many years you have left. That way we can prevent any accidents!
Chen Xiaobei: Great! I really have to keep an eye out!
After that, Chen Xiaobei sent one merit point over to Yanw.a.n.g as a ‘fee’ for upgrading his Netherspirit Battlescouter. It was actually just to keep Shen Gongpao off their backs.
Ding!
[1 merit point delivered!]
Ding!
[You current total merit points is 2,859,998. That is 140,002 points away from the next level. (Charm: 286,000; Luck:286,000)]
“It’s always good to have the support from our own people. My ex-s.h.i.+xiong gave me two Cleansing Bodhi last time and only asked for one merit point! This time, I got an upgrade for the Netherspirit Battlescouter! This is awesome!”
Chen Xiaobei placed his Nertherspirit Battlescouter in a Red Envelope and sent it over as well.
Of course, Chen Xiaobei was not naïve enough to believe that one merit point could buy him some groundbreaking Divine Items.
The Primordial Lord of Heaven had prohibited giving Red Envelopes to the people in the earthly realm without the exchange of merit points. His sorry excuse was that this was to protect the earthly realm.
The bigger the item, the greater the influence to the earthly realm, the more merit points it would cost.
Cleansing Bodhi and upgrading the Netherspirit Battlescouter had minimal influence on the earthly realm. So, it was reasonable to exchange only one merit point for them.
If Monkey King also sold his Jingu Bang for one merit point, Shen Gongpao would definitely come knocking at his door!
Ding!
[Congratulations! You’ve received Yuanw.a.n.g’s Red Envelope! You have received a Netherspirit Battlescouter. It has been stored in your treasure chest!]
The upgrade seemed to be pretty simple. He got it back almost immediately.
Chen Xiaobei then immediately retrieved it.
This Nertherspirit Battlescouter was like another Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes. It was a Spiritual Item, not actual eyes.
After communicating with its Spiritual Attribute, a blue light shone right into Chen Xiaobei’s left eye.
Then ancient writings of the underworld swam inside his eye like a river, brewing a mysterious power.
The words formed into a circle like an ancient formation and complete blocked Chen Xiaobei’s left eye.
The Netherspirit Battlescouter was in place.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 2070; Health: 100,500; Combat power: 80,100]
“Oh! I see it! I can see my lifespan! That way, there won’t be any problems the next time I use the Dark Powers or the Sunlight Cache!”
Chen Xiaobei grinned. From now on he did not have to worry about speeding up his training.
“My Netherspirit Battlescouter has leveled up! Even my phone is upgraded!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled as he took out his new Dami 17!
