merit book

Volume [-] of Jingde Biography of Lantern Records: Emperor Wu of Liang asked Bodhidharma: "I have come to the throne, and I have built temples, written scriptures, and taught monks invincibly. What merits do I have?" The master said: "There is no merit."

————————————————————————

An afternoon feast of stray cats and dogs brought Rong Yuan 135 merit points.

The new commodity items will be opened soon. Leaving aside those flashy props, it is mainly the exchange of the four basic attributes of [Strength], [Agility], [Physique], and [Intelligence]. These names look like game characters. Attribute value, but it is completely different, and its exchange value is also different.In the game, it is easy to increase the basic attributes of characters by tens or hundreds of points, but in the merit mall, the merit exchange of these attributes is gradually increased.

[Strength] Rongyuan's strength value is 15, the first point of exchange for strength requires 10 merits, the second point requires 11 merits, the third point requires 12 merits, and so on. [Agility] exchange rule is the same as [Strength]. [Physique] is more expensive to exchange. The first point requires 10 merits, the second point is 15 merits, the third point is 20 merits, and so on.

[Intelligence] is an attribute with the most unreasonable price. At the beginning, 10 merits can only be exchanged for 0.001 intelligence. value.When the intelligence value reaches 100, 0.001 intelligence value needs 10 merits.After that, every time the intelligence value increases by 0.001 points, the exchange price will increase tenfold.

Rong Yuan did some calculations silently, if he wanted to exchange [Intelligence] to 100, the merit value he would need would be 1111.1111102933 trillion... In this comparison, his negative merit value of more than 1 million is not even a fraction, Literally the amount of drizzle.

——May I ask if there are so many merits and virtues, God, does the old man have them?Is there any Tathagata Buddha? ?Are there any Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty? ? ?

In the end, Rong Yuan decided to exchange three points of agility and 10 days of life.The exchange of basic attributes is not as silent as the exchange of life. When he selected [Confirm Exchange], he saw a small spot of light from the picture representing [Agility]—a picture of a running man. Simple strokes - floating up, like a firefly suspended in the air quietly.When Rong Yuan touched it with his hand, the spot of light disappeared on his fingertips.Then an indescribable feeling ran through his body, as if a weak electric current was constantly washing his body, and every cell twitched and trembled amidst the slight tingling pain.

Of course this feeling is uncomfortable, Rong Yuan gritted his teeth and tried to hold on, but luckily the strange feeling faded away after three to five minutes.He swung his arms and kicked his legs. Apart from being covered in sweat, his body seemed to be lighter—he wasn't sure if this was his illusion.

Looking at the last remaining five points of merit, Rong Yuan flipped through the product catalog of the merit mall, hesitating a little.

Originally, he didn't want to spend his merits on living materials or luxuries. He didn't think he needed those, but now his thoughts have changed.

In one afternoon and one evening, he spent nearly 1000 yuan and gained 135 merit points, an average of about 7.5 yuan for one merit point.

In the merit mall, 1 merit point can be exchanged for 1 carat of excellent quality diamonds, worth at least 2 to 1 yuan; and 30 merit points can be exchanged for [-] kg of gold, which is equivalent to [-] at the current gold price.

To put it more bluntly, if he feeds a dozen stray dogs, he can buy a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms in the center of Qinghai; if he does it again like this afternoon, he can become a multi-millionaire immediately.

The huge gap between giving and receiving is enough to make anyone's hands tremble and knees weak. No matter how calm and composed Rong Yuan is, he can't help his heart beating like a drum for such a profit-free business.He struggled and struggled, and finally couldn't help but exchanged 1 point of merit for an old-fashioned gold bracelet.

After all, a kilogram of gold is still too conspicuous. This kind of gold bracelet that is not too big or small is just right. Although the cost performance has shrunk, it is safer and more practical. He can use the excuse that it is a relic of the elders, and no one will doubt it.With such a heavy weight, it should be able to sell for tens of thousands.

A sense of urgency and excitement prompted Rong Yuan to act as soon as possible, so he tossed and turned all night and did not sleep well. For a while, he was thinking about what excuses and expressions he should use to win the trust of the boss of the gold shop, and for a while he was thinking about what if What should I do if the money exchange does not go well; for a while I think about where to buy a better house, and for a while I imagine what it will be like when I become the richest man in the world... The brain is always in a state of high excitement until the sky. It was only when it was bright that I fell asleep for half an hour because I was really sleepy.When the commotion of going to work and school in the community rang out, Rong Yuan immediately jumped up like clockwork, tidied up casually, stuffed the bracelet into his schoolbag and went out.

He got up too early, and the gold shop closest to home and with the best reputation didn't open for an hour and a half.After Rong Yuan walked up and down the door of the gold store a dozen times, he saw that someone was watching him vigilantly and suspiciously. His excited brain finally cleared up a little. He turned around and looked at the closed door of the gold store, and decided to wait until the store opened. Come again.

—Hmmm... also buy a wig and flat glasses... for some camouflage.

Rong Yuan unknowingly walked along the road to a small bridge. He was also tired from walking, so he lay down on the railing and rested for a while. The five fingers of his right hand quickly lit on the railing of the bridge in turn. He looked at his watch from time to time, urgently I long for time to fly by in a whizzing way.

Rong Yuan, who looked down at the time again, inadvertently glanced across the water under the bridge, and couldn't help being taken aback.

--what happened?The person reflected in the river...is that him?

He leaned down to look more closely at the reflection in the lake.

His hair was messy, and he forgot to comb it in the morning; there was still a bit of toothpaste foam on his face that hadn't been washed off; his T-shirt, which was originally clean, had a lot of smudges somewhere, it was black and oily, and he didn't even look at it normally It's disgusting, but I don't know how long I've worn it now; and - he looked down - the socks on his feet don't match, and a layer of dust has accumulated on the upper of the shoe.

What's more, the somewhat blurred face in the water was flushed abnormally, and the look in his eyes was both crazy and bewildered, revealing a strange excitement, which made people feel that this person's sanity was in jeopardy. The edge of the brain, the thread in the brain is about to be broken.

A gust of wind blew by, causing ripples on the surface of the water, splitting the reflected face to pieces.However, Rong Yuan still stared blankly, his eyes regained his usual calmness and rationality little by little.

Finally, he closed his eyes, took out the gold bracelet from his schoolbag, thought about it, wrapped his fingers in a tissue and carefully wiped off the fingerprints on the inside and outside of the bracelet. The golden light that filled many of his fantasies and ambitions fell into the water with a "plop".

As the circles of ripples on the water surface gradually subsided, the last bit of reluctance and unwillingness in Rong Yuan's heart finally faded away.

He walked to the public faucet in the green belt by the bridge and turned on the water to the maximum. The icy cold water rushed down his head, and he couldn't help shaking. His brain was still a little confused due to lack of sleep. wide awake.After flushing for more than ten seconds, Rong Yuan washed his face and hands with water, turned off the tap, vigorously shook the water droplets on his head, and then wiped the cold water still dripping down his face. From this afternoon to now, I have been a complete idiot.

He should have thought of it a long time ago... This exchange, this kind of huge income that looks like a huge profit for nothing, is completely a trap.

Or it can also be said that this is a test of the contractor's heart in "The Book of Merit".

Once he really took this gold bracelet to the gold shop to exchange money, what would happen next?

From the first taste of the benefits without paying any price, he must be like a drug addict. No matter how much he warns himself to stop, he can't help but exchange for the second, third, and fourth time. Second-rate……

Then, every time he encountered financial difficulties, he couldn't help but use the "Book of Merit and Virtue" to solve them.

Then, when he encounters other difficulties, he will also start to completely rely on the power of the "Book of Merit and Virtue".

What's more, even daily life will become completely dependent on the "Minor Book", food, clothes, drinking water, furniture, vehicles, medicines... These things, he believes that the goods exchanged in the Merit Mall will definitely be more expensive than those purchased in the real world. The products should be healthier, more affordable, and of better quality.

The more times there are, the more flaws there will be, and the loopholes will become bigger and bigger. No matter how perfect lies and excuses are, they will not be able to resist scrutiny. But correspondingly, my vigilance will become weaker and weaker. Inertia, etc., will corrode his sanity to nothing, and gradually reduce him to a puppet of "Benefits and Virtues".

One day, the secret of the magical existence of "Kung Fu Bo" will be completely exposed to people.What will happen to him by then?

For him like that, will this sudden appearance of "Kung Fu Bo" continue to stay by his side and become his support?

Rong Yuan couldn't come up with the answer to this question without exhausting his imagination before it actually happened, but he knew that if he found out that someone around him actually had such a treasure, he would definitely try his best to get it.

He himself has such an idea, so he can't expect others to be high-spirited, or that the world's IQ is only [-] and he will never be able to discover his secret.

"In a commodity society, when the profit reaches 50.00%, some people will take risks; when the profit reaches [-]%, some people will trample on the law; when the profit reaches [-]%, some people will risk their heads Danger." - by Engels.

The profit of "Minor and Virtue Book" is more than [-]%?
