merit book

The first edition of Shengman Baoku Volume (Big Sanqi. [-]): "When the evil is exhausted, it is called merit, and when the good is full, it is called virtue. Those who are virtuous also gain it; what they gain from practicing merit is called merit."

----------------------

In two hours, Rong Yuan helped others to gain a total of 10 merit points. After subtracting the 2 merit points deducted for being a middle-aged beggar, he still has 8 merit points, but he had no goal for a while.

It's not that there are no people on the street who can help, in fact there are many such people.For example, there is a young woman five or six meters ahead, with a baby on her back, a large schoolbag hanging on her chest, a box and two plastic bags in her right hand, and a bulging travel bag in her left hand. It seems that all of them are not light, and they can be regarded as a person who is in great need of help.According to Rong Yuan's two hours of experience, helping her carry her things and sending her to her destination should have two points of merit.But she didn't know how far she was going, and she didn't know how much time it would take. If she had no other choice, Rong Yuan would not spend her precious time on this goal.

Another example is the two young men on this street who were strolling like him and kept looking at the passers-by. Rong Yuan saw them take out the mobile phone or wallet of the passers-by twice before they were not paying attention, but he did not act bravely. He planned, because at the same time, he also saw eye contact between these two men and several other strong men, presumably it was a syndicate.With his current body, being brave is synonymous with death.

While walking, Rong Yuan suddenly thought of something, opened the merit book and looked, sure enough, Rule [-] reads: 【The merit value can be obtained by helping life forms in trouble, the amount of merit value obtained is related to the amount of help received. Positively related to the degree of distress of the respondent. 】It is "lives in trouble" to be helped, not "people in trouble".

Rong Yuan thought about this word for a while, his eyes lit up.

There are many cats and dogs in Qinghai City, and most of them are stray cats and dogs with nowhere to go.Rong Yuan bought a bag of small biscuits for pets at the nearest supermarket, and whenever he saw a stray cat or dog looking for food, he would throw two biscuits, and soon a few small animals that were not very vigilant surrounded him. The side tentatively began to eat biscuits cautiously.

[Feeding hungry Chinese garden dogs, merit +1]

[Feeding a hungry curly cat, merit +1]

[Feeding a hungry cat with folded ears, merit +1]

[Feeding a hungry dachshund, merit +1]

……

In the process of Rong Yuan feeding the stray animals, he felt the merits of his arms burning hot.Seeing more and more small animals coming around, he simply dumped all the biscuits in the bag on the ground, walked out of the encirclement of these kittens and puppies, sat on the bench by the street for passers-by to rest, and opened the merit list Thin began to look.

First, there are two more rules on the title page:

[Rule [-]: Any product in the merit mall can be exchanged for the corresponding merit value, but the redeemed product cannot be exchanged for merit value.Any items in the real world cannot be exchanged for merit points. 】【Rule [-]: Among the commodities exchanged from the merit mall, only physical props that do not exceed the technological level of the contractor's world can be transferred to others for use, and other commodities can only be used by the contractor himself. 】The content on the first page remains unchanged, but the first few lines of text on the second page change to: [Contractor with poor merit: Rong Yuan]

【Existing merit: 23】

[Exchangeable merit: 23]

Behind it is a series of merit records. Rong Yuan clicked on the page and found that there are functions such as [Select] and [Delete].

The third page has only one eye-catching title: [Minority Redemption Record] The fourth page looks similar to an online shopping page like Taobao Jingdong. The upper left corner is a logo of [Kongde Mall], and below is a series of product categories; the upper right corner has [ My Merits], [Optional Products], [Purchased Products], [Favorites], [Product Search] and other options; the main page is still occupied by large and small pictures of various popular products.It's just probably because his merit points are too low, most of the product categories and product pictures are all gray, and it's impossible to see the specifics.In the entire merit mall page, only a few items are clearly visible.

Let's take a look at the three options that can be seen in the product category: [basic value], [living supplies], and [weapon].His finger slid and clicked on [Optional Products] in the upper right corner.

The mall page instantly turned into a product display page with two rows and a total of five rows. Each exchange product has a two-inch photo-sized picture, product name, function introduction, and four required merit points.

The one at the top of the list is what Rong Yuan needs most right now——

A sketch of a human body with the words:

【Product Name: Life Value】

[Function introduction: Extend the life of the contractor]

[Price: 10 merits/day]

Rong Yuan immediately redeemed two days' lifespan, and then felt a certain change in the front of the merit book. After turning to the first page, he was surprised to find that in the description on the first page, there was an extra line after age: [Life: 42:26:37]

The last 37 is still decreasing by one second.

——So, is this the countdown to his life?His current life span is 42 hours?

Twenty merits should be exchanged for 48 hours of life, but now there are only 42 hours left?Rong Yuan looked at his watch, it has been almost six hours since he woke up.So since then, his life has entered a countdown? If you can't get ten merit points within 24 hours, will you be obliterated?

Seeing this data, Rong Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that the rope that had been strangling his neck had finally loosened a bit, and he no longer had the sense of urgency that his life was at stake.Two days is enough for him to do a lot of things.

He turned back to the mall page and found that the remaining three merit points could be purchased with some daily necessities that can be bought with money, such as kitchen utensils, food, wine, clothes, purified water, toys, cosmetics, gems, etc. .Many exchanges seem to be very cost-effective. In reality, things that may cost tens of thousands of yuan to buy in the merit mall only need to pay the price of feeding a few cats and dogs.If the person who got the merits and deeds was a hand-chopper, he would probably dance happily and go shopping like crazy.

But for Rong Yuan, as long as money can meet the basic needs of survival, he is not interested in luxury goods, nor in gold, silver and jewelry that can be exchanged for money in reality. What attracts him is that the merit mall has not yet opened. those contents.

The unknown is mysterious, which means infinite possibilities, just imagining what will be behind that piece of gray, Rong Yuan feels his scalp go numb, like an electric current rushing through his body, which makes him excited Every hair stood on end.

So he will not waste any merit points on those unnecessary things, but accumulate as much as possible to open the gray parts of the mall.He also needs to exchange more life points. In order to avoid some unexpected situations that prevent him from gaining merit, he must exchange at least 100 days of rich life.

As for the negative 850 million merit value that he wants to completely offset—even though the calculation of the merit value is much more relaxed than he originally expected, it is not a goal that can be achieved in a short period of time.Anyway, even if the negative [-] million is offset to negative [-], as long as the merits are not exchanged for life, it will still be the result of being obliterated, so this is the least urgent task.Rong Yuan postponed this item indefinitely.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" a puppy lightly rubbed against rongyuan's shoes, he looked up and saw that those biscuits had been eaten by some time, and there were still a few cats and dogs wandering around beside him, some of them were not reconciled licking the wet concrete floor.

The one who rubbed against him was a yellow earth dog. This smart little guy seemed to know that he was the one who fed them. He was squatting aside and looking at him pitifully. His pair of watery black eyes were like bright black gemstones.

Rong Yuan was a little strange.In fact, his relationship with animals in the past was not good. He either stared at him and barked vigilantly, or ran away when he saw him, not to mention these stray animals who were wary or even hostile to humans.Now these stray cats and dogs easily accepted the food he gave, and still lingered around, and even dared to beg him for food. This is a strange phenomenon that has never happened before.

——Does the merits and virtues have the effect of increasing his affinity for animals?

Encountered too many situations in one day, Rong Yuan no longer entangled in such trivial matters.Compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive work of helping humans and being questioned by all kinds of doubts, it is really simple, worry-free and quick to earn merit from these simple creatures. It can be said that the reaction of the small animals is exactly what he wants.

Rong Yuan took out all the money on his body, except for buying himself a bottle of water and a piece of bread, and used it to buy the cheapest and most affordable pet food. In the end, he carried two huge plastic bags, and looked at the strange eyes of the shopkeeper. He watched and left the pet supply store.

On this day, the stray animals near the Tai'an community got a gluttonous feast. Although they are actually cheap pet food, which taste bad, lack reasonable nutritional structure, and have a strong odor, but for them, it is It is a rare experience that you can let go of your stomach and eat all you can.I don't know how they convey the information, even the stray cats and dogs from other neighborhoods have heard the news, in order to avoid the crowds of passers-by, Rong Yuan had to take these little guys to a nearby small woods where there are few people. I also went to the ATM to withdraw money, and wiped out several cheap foods in the pet supply store.

……

In the moonlight, the faint black shadows shuttled back and forth in the woods, accompanied by the deep voices from the throats of animals, those who didn't know would be frightened when they walked in, but the only human being in it was contented.

Rong Yuan moved his sedentary and stiff body, looked around, the pet food he bought had been completely eaten, and only some residues and packaging bags remained on the ground.Dozens of small animals ate their stomachs one by one, played with each other, or slept on their backs with their round bellies in their arms. Many animals probably didn't live in this area, and they left after they were full.He packed up all the packaging bags on the ground and threw them into the trash can, ending the day's scoring operation.

The author has something to say: Many relatives don’t understand that among stray cats and dogs, there are such rare breeds as Chihuahuas with folded ears?Yu Mo said that it is possible to have, such as sickness, disability, bad temper, bad appearance at birth, lost from the owner... etc. Isn't there too many reasons?

Of course, the most important thing is that when the author wrote the article, he didn't know which types of cats and dogs were more likely to be abandoned besides native dogs.
