Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

Five years later, Grandma Shen passed away.

Shen Mo stayed in this world until the end of the 1990s, when the new successor of the special department had grown up.

The special operations department at this time is completely different from before, and even ordinary people can deal with practitioners.

The main reason is that the rune formation developed by the Special Operations Department is too powerful. When the rune formation is attached to weapons, the bullets fired are much more powerful than ordinary bullets.

Even the troops asked the special operations department for these weapons and equipment attached with rune formations, and later they even went so far as to poach talents from their special operations department.

At this time, Shen Mo looked at his formation rune column and found that his skill proficiency was already maxed out in this world.

"Come back!" Although the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator reaches 500 years, it is impossible for Shen Mo to live to 500 years old and then come back in such a world.

If he really did this, even the officials would be wary of him.

Therefore, we should have self-knowledge as human beings.

Shen Mo opened his eyes from the recliner. He had not returned from three consecutive worlds, and he was really afraid that this time he would return to an unfamiliar mission environment.

Fortunately, when I opened my eyes this time, I found myself back in the Merit Pawn Shop.

A series of ding-dong sounds were heard continuously. It was the sound of merit being settled, and also the news about the pawnshop upgrade.

The fat cat and the rabbit were surrounding him with concern.

"Welcome back, shopkeeper."

"I hope that something like this won't happen again in the future." Although the missions in these worlds were not too difficult, traveling through them without any mental preparation always made him feel uneasy.

He didn't like the feeling of being out of control.

"Boss, our pawnshop is the lowest level one. Anyone who comes across it will step on it. If we don't want to be drafted, we have to upgrade our pawnshop."

Speaking of upgrading the pawn shop, Shen Mo remembered the reminder on the panel.

"Is there anything special about upgrading the pawn shop? Now I can upgrade the shop by just pressing the upgrade button, right?" Shen Mo was a complete novice in this area and needed to ask clearly before making a choice.

"Yes. It will take about half a month to upgrade the store, so the shopkeeper should take this opportunity to have a good rest." Rabbit suggested.

Shen Mo nodded and clicked on the store upgrade.

Then Shen Mo saw that the store’s merit value was quickly cleared to zero.

At this time, Shen Mo saw a new prompt sound: The shopkeeper is upgrading, would you like to upgrade?

Shen Mo saw that he could click the upgrade button, so he chose the upgrade option without hesitation.

Nonsense, if the store is upgraded but you don’t upgrade yourself, what if your physical fitness can’t keep up when you arrive in a new world and take on new tasks?

His personal merit value was also quickly cleared to zero.

At this time Shen Mo saw a personal page panel pop up. This was something that had not existed before, and it was somewhat like the character page in the game.

Character: Silence.

Soul strength: 50 points. Tip: Your soul strength has exceeded % of ordinary people in the underworld.

Agility: 30 points.

Strength: 30 points.

Intelligence: 60 points.

Then I saw an option to add skill points, and the upgrade brought eight skill points.

Shen Mo added a little bonus to each of the three skills: agility, strength, and intelligence.

When I was about to add all the remaining skill points to the soul, they somehow moved to agility, strength, and intelligence, and then added one point on average.

Finally, it was the soul. He also clicked twice honestly, which was equivalent to adding points evenly.

As for why I made this choice, I can only say it was intuition.

And since he has that black stone in his soul, Shen Mo feels that there won't be any problems in the short term.

Although the soul is important, since other skills have appeared, it also shows that other skills are also very important.

When he finished adding the skills, he suddenly felt a force entering his body.

This feeling is very wonderful, a bit like taking some kind of panacea. I suddenly feel energetic and my body feels much more flexible and stronger.

When they came back to their senses, the orange cat and the rabbit both looked at Shen Mo with curiosity.

"Boss, you've been leveling up for a long time, have you already clicked on the skill points?"

"Yes."

"What did you order?" Liang Tong asked curiously.

"You have also upgraded, right? Do you have skill points? What clicks did you choose?" Shen Mo asked curiously.

"This, shopkeeper, is very important. It determines how long we can live. Sixty percent of shopkeepers will make the wrong choice." Both of them looked serious.

"Oh, you haven't told me your choice yet!"

"We are a system, which is different from the shopkeeper's, so the focus is also different."

"You want me to be honest, so you should be honest with me too, right? This is the basis of our cooperation." Shen Mo spread his hands.

"Okay, shopkeeper, you are right. We do need to be honest. What we are adding is the soul. For a system like ours, the soul is very weak, so adding the soul is the most important thing." said the rabbit.

The orange cat also nodded: "But shopkeeper, you are different from us. If you want to go to the world to complete a mission, your own strength and agility will also be brought into the mission. It is not enough to just add soul. For example, if you enter the mission world and your body happens to be weak or seriously injured, if you don't have your own strength, you will be dead if you go in."

After hearing what the orange cat said, Shen Mo felt a little scared. Fortunately, he did not choose all the souls.

"I add it evenly." Shen Mo did not hide it.

"Boss, how many soul points do you have?" The rabbit and the orange cat were curious.

"Do I have to tell you?"

The rabbit and the orange cat nodded, and of course to be fair they both reported their own soul values.

Rabbit: "My soul value is twenty points."

The orange cat said proudly: "My soul value is thirty points. When I was not injured, my soul value was fifty points at its highest. After I was injured, it was only this much. So, what is your soul value, shopkeeper?"

Shen Mo wondered whether he should tell the truth, but he felt that since it was a cooperative relationship, he and the system would prosper together and suffer together. If he had poor abilities, he might be looked down upon by the system. Compared to these cunning systems, he still had too little experience.

"Fifty points, after adding it up it's fifty-two points."

"What? Fifty-two points?" Liang Tong was shocked, because the shopkeepers they had met before had at most ten points more than them, but Shen Mo had a full twenty or thirty points more."

"Boss, you are right to add points evenly. You are the boss with the highest basic soul we have ever met."

"How much is the soul of your former shopkeeper worth?" Shen Mo asked curiously. He also wanted to know the difference between himself and others.

"The shopkeepers I met before were worth at most ten points more than our souls. Some were even worse than orange cats. Now we know why the underworld sent you to be the shopkeeper. You are born to be the shopkeeper. We, the shopkeeper, believe that you can lead us to a higher world."

The orange cat looked at Shen Mo with shining eyes, and so did the rabbit.

"Stop complimenting me." Shen Mo would not be flattered by Liang Tong's casual praise, otherwise how did the other shopkeepers disappear?
