merit book

Mahayana Chapter Volume Nine (Big [-]): "Speaking of merit and virtue, merit is called function. Good deeds have the merit of benefiting welfare, so it is called merit; this merit is the virtue of one's good deeds, which is called merit."

————————————————————

[Rule 10: If the merit of the contractor is negative, it will be wiped out.If the initial value of the contractor is negative, it is allowed to use the merit value to exchange life or offset the negative merit value, and the life exchange rate is 24 merit/day.If the merit exchanged for life cannot be paid within [-] hours and the contractor's merit value is still negative, the contractor will be obliterated. 】Rong Yuan stared at the word "obliteration", his pupils dilated to the extreme in an instant, and his fingers that held meritorious deeds trembled slightly.

——Erase?In other words, within 24 hours, if he can't find a way to get 10 merit points to pay this tattered book, he will be wiped out?

——And this is not a day or two, until he offsets all the 850 million negative merit points, he must get at least 10 merit points to exchange for life every day, and then he has to find a way to get As much merit as possible to offset the negative value, otherwise it would be impossible to even cancel the contract?

——Why did he encounter such a thing?Where does meritorious deeds come from?Why did you form a contract with him?What happened to those three days he lost?Why is his merit value so exaggerated?What did he do?

Countless questions popped up in an instant and completely occupied Rong Yuan's thoughts, and the huge anger made him unable to think normally.Rong Yuan grabbed the merit book and threw it out, pressed his forehead and closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Not without suspicion that this is a high-tech prank, like The Truman Show, and perhaps the person who arranged this scene is watching his every move on the other end of the camera for fun.But firstly, Rong Yuan is sure that he is just an ordinary person, and it is not worth anyone to expend so much energy to tease him like this; secondly, the technology reflected in this merit book does not have any mechanism within his cognition Or the country can achieve it; three times, life is only once, even if all this is false, it is much better to be teased by others than to play with your life.

Therefore, the most urgent task at present is to find a way to get 10 merit points within the specified time limit, and then have the spare time to consider other issues.

It should not be difficult to obtain merit, it is nothing more than doing some good deeds.But the most important question now is: When does the 24-hour time limit start?If it was from the time he saw this rule, then he still had plenty of time; but if it was from the time he made the contract... Who knows when?Maybe he still has an hour, maybe he will be obliterated in the next minute.

So first of all, time is very important to him.If you don't want to die, the faster you can get 10 merit points, the better.Even if it was only a second earlier, his hope of surviving would be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Rong Yuan immediately jumped off the bed, grabbed the clothes and pants from the closet as fast as he could and changed into them, put on a pair of shoes casually, grabbed the merit book, stuffed it into his schoolbag, and rushed out of the house.

In the process of running downstairs, Rong Yuan continued to think about the second question he just thought of: he didn't know the rules for calculating merit value in the merit book.If saving a life is considered a merit point, the possibility of him completing the task will be infinitely close to zero.

Thirdly, by what means is the "erasing" of meritorious deeds accomplished?If all kinds of accidents are caused to cause people's death like "Death is Coming", can you find a way to avoid it?Or is it that Gongdebo will release a powerful electric current or ultrasonic wave in an instant to kill him?Or just explode for no reason like in Infinite Horror?

If the means of obliteration is some kind of technological means or accident, he can still find a way to find a chance; but if it is really supernatural power, it must be absolutely unreasonable.

——So, don’t take chances.Guaranteed to survive first, and then think about other things.

……

The Tai'an Community in City A where Rong Yuan lives is not a remote location, but a location that happens to be close to the city center.Tai’an Community was built very early, when City A was still very backward, most people had no concept of location, and many people would choose to live in the suburbs because of the cheap housing prices—of course, the suburbs at that time are also very good now It's a very good location, and Rong Yuan's uncle was allocated this apartment because he worked in a state-owned enterprise.

Although the area is only more than 70 square meters, the layout is outdated, the decoration is simple, and the outer walls of the buildings are covered with traces of vicissitudes of wind and rain erosion, but the greening of the community exceeds any high-end, international, and ultra-luxury residential area advocated in the advertisements.Tall trees of decades or even centuries can be seen everywhere in the community. There are no parking spaces or fitness equipment installed in the open space between the buildings. They are all kinds of trees, flowers and plants, as well as stones placed by the residents of the community. The table and stone bench are like a small ecological garden.

The Tai'an community is quiet and peaceful, but once you step out of the gate, it's like entering another world - looking in all directions, countless vehicles shuttle back and forth, and there are signs of various shops on both sides of the road, each one is better than the other It is more eye-catching, and the products displayed in the window are even more dazzling.The bustling crowds on the sidewalk are shoulder to shoulder, the sound of cars, voices and music can be heard, and the hustle and bustle is unbearable.

Because of this kind of noise and disorder, Rong Yuan usually doesn't like to go out, but he is very lucky for this at this time, because when he goes out, he sees a beggar.

It was a man who seemed to make people feel sympathetic.He was only half the height of an ordinary person, with nothing below his thighs, dirty all over, and extremely long hair covering most of his face. He "sit" on a poorly made small wooden cart, sliding on the ground with his hands.In front of him stood an old and dirty enamel cup.

Rong Yuan walked over, took out a dollar and put it in the beggar's cup. The beggar turned his head slowly and said "thank you" in a low and numb voice.

Rong Yuan ignored him, took out the merit book and flipped through it, but there was nothing changed on it.

——Is it because he gave money with the purpose of utilitarianism, so he has no merit?Or is this point of merit ignored because it is too small?

Rong Yuan didn't believe in evil, and put another ten yuan in. The beggar looked up at him in surprise, said "Thank you" in a low voice, reached out and grabbed the ten yuan and stuffed it into his clothes.

Gongdebo still didn't respond at all.

Rong Yuan simply took out two one-hundred sheets and put them into the beggar's bowl. He felt the merit book in his hand heat up for a while, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly opened it.On the second page, a few lines of words appeared: [Contractor with little merit: Rong Yuan]

[Existing merit: -1]

[Exchangeable merit: 0]

[Records of merit and virtue:]

[Encouraging to get something for nothing, prompting Li Furui to strengthen his belief in begging, merit -1] Merit -1?

Ha ha.

Rong Yuan withdrew the 200 yuan from the beggar's hand in a snap, squinted at him, and said expressionlessly, "I'm just kidding you."

No matter how the beggar who should be called Li Furui reacted behind his back, Rong Yuan turned and left, and after his merit points were deducted for teasing others, he calmed down completely.Although the threat of obliteration is still a sharp sword hanging above his head, Rong Yuan has now found a way to delay its fall.

If you want to gain merit, you should help people who really need help—not the kind of pretentious begging, not those who use other people's sympathy and pity to satisfy their own desires. His goal should be those who are in trouble and urgent. Those who long for others to lend a helping hand.

In the past, when he was walking on the street, he never paid attention to the pedestrians on the road, but now he observed with his heart, and immediately found many "target people".

At the intersection not far away, an old man on crutches looked hesitantly at the continuous flow of vehicles in front of him. Every time the green light turned on, he moved a few steps forward tremblingly, but soon there were cars turning right Roaring past.The old man had to take a few steps back and waited and waited. Finally, all the vehicles turning right passed and the red light came on.

Suddenly the old man's arm tightened, and a black-haired young man held his arm and said with a smile, "Grandpa, let me help you there."

The young man's eyes were clear and bright, his smile was light but sincere, and his manners contained a little child's intimacy.The old man's originally lonely and desolate state of mind could not help but a warm current surged up, all the weather-beaten wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he smiled very amiably.

"Good! Good! Good boy." The old man grabbed Rong Yuan's hand and said repeatedly.

Rong Yuan smiled and stopped talking.When the green light came on, he helped the old man walk across the road, then watched him thank you again and again, and then left slowly.Rong Yuan opened the merit book, only to see a positive number finally appeared after two consecutive "-1".

[Helping Yang Aiguo in distress to cross the road, merit +1] In the next two hours, Rong Yuan helped a peddler who accidentally scattered apples to pick up apples, and bought candied haws for three crying children , ice cream and other snacks, sent a girl who was injured when she fell down the stairs to the hospital, sent a 5-minute flyer to a college student who was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, gave directions to two tourists who lost their way, and gave a person who rummaged through the trash can to find food Bought a box lunch.

Both his existing merit and convertible merit have become 8. In addition, there is a new rule on the title page: [Rule [-]: Merit points can be obtained by helping life forms in trouble. The amount of merit is positively related to the degree of distress of the recipient. 】
