“This should be something like a crystal.”
He Chuan had some impression of this thing.
Back when he was studying in school, a particular class taught him about the basic resources of the various reincarnated planes.
Crystals like this, which existed in the bodies of wild beasts, were usually the source of their power. They were used to maintain their bodies’ strength or release special abilities.
The strength of this world was not high. Even if they could produce crystals, they were considered the lowest level of energy resources. The quality would not be much better.
The biggest drawback was that they could not absorb too much at once.
It was unrealistic to rely on this to increase one’s strength.
He Chuan did not think much of it.
Therefore, after the awakened ones had collected the crystals, he did not leave them for his own use. Instead, he generously gave them to Xu Ke.
After that, he asked Xu Ke to record all the awakened’s contributions on the battlefield and convert them into merit points.
In the future, if everyone wanted to receive additional resources and crystals, they would have to rely on merit points to exchange for them.
There were many ways to obtain merit points.
Saving people, setting up traps, providing crucial military intelligence, attracting the strange beasts that were out on their own to surround and kill them, and so on were all included.
If someone could kill the strange beasts alone…
Not only would they be rewarded with merit points, but the corpses of the exotic beasts would also belong to the person who killed them.
One thousand pounds of flesh and blood could be exchanged for a small-sized beast crystal!
As soon as these words were said, all the awakened ones were stunned.
“I didn’t expect the City Lord to be so selfless. He even gave away such a precious crystal. This is a good treasure that can raise one’s strength. It’s much rarer than any rare treasures.”
“It’s too easy to get merit points… aren’t we supposed to do these things?”
“Yeah, it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect Glory City. It’s not the City Lord’s responsibility alone. What the City Lord does is no different from giving it away for free. It’s so that we can accept it with peace of mind.”
“He clearly killed these strange beasts with his own hands. It has nothing to do with us, but we’re the ones who took the best things instead…”
“The City Lord is truly worried sick for us…”
“Damn it, with such a City Lord, so what if I risk my life! Can the new legions 27th squad brothers lend me some merit points? I want to exchange them for spirit crystals to break through my realm. If it works, I’ll go and fight the strange beasts one-on-one!” All the gains will be sent to the storehouse, and everyone will level up together!”
“Brother, wait a moment. I can finish repairing the traps over there tonight. The merit points will be given to you when you get them!”
“Mine is a little lacking, too. I’ll go get them now!”
“And me!”
…
Once He Chuan’s new reward system was introduced, it immediately roused everyone’s enthusiasm.
They began to fight sincerely for their team.
They worked even harder than before.
Many of the teams in the new legion imitated the methods of Unit 27 and gathered everyone’s merit points to exchange for crystals.
Through this method, they tried to break through to level two.
Only level two awakened ones had the ability to kill strange beasts.
In the previous battle, the awakened ones had all experienced the feeling of helplessness when facing gigantic strange beasts.
Seeing their comrades, civilians, children, and even their relatives die before their eyes, they couldn’t do anything about it.
They didn’t want to experience this feeling a second time.
They desperately wanted to increase their strength.
Now, with He Chuan’s seemingly standardized collection of resources, but in fact, his selfless dedication, they were able to increase their strength rapidly.
That night, many people had already broken through to the level-two awakened.
After their strength had skyrocketed, they went out in groups to hunt down the strange beasts scattered in the forest.
This kind of action directly changed Glory City’s previous situation of being passively beaten.
It could be said to be a milestone-level action.
And as everyone cooperated more and more frequently.
Everyone’s collective sense of honor was also revealed.
Many teams began to compete in the number of strange beasts killed.
Sigh!
Whoever killed the most was awesome!
Many people made a bet with each other.
Can you kill that bear-type strange beast?
You can kill it?
Then I’ll consider you awesome!
I’ll consider you the best!
Yes, that’s right!
They didn’t gamble on money or resources.
It was a very simple bet of verbal approval.
A man’s happiness is that simple.
Such a gentleman’s bet, yet it made many people flock to it.
No matter how strong the strange beast was, they all held back their indomitable spirit and charged forward!
They were the ones who weren’t afraid of death.
This kind of situation made He Chuan a little confused.
After asking Lin Cheng.
Only then did he know that the internal affairs of the new legion were special.
Out of nowhere, there was a competition of which squad killed the most strange beasts. Later, they would be the ace squad. Everyone would have to call them big brothers were the rules.
For this honor, a bunch of people hunted exotic beasts with loud roars.
So much so that they couldn’t hear the roars of the strange beasts in Glory City anymore.
Not only that, but these people also did what they had said previously.
All the strange beasts they killed were handed over!
They didn’t even want beast crystals!
This also caused before that day reached midnight.
The City Lord’s Manor’s resources didn’t decrease but increased instead!
The number of beast crystals even tripled!
He Chuan was surprised but also somewhat gratified.
At first, he had planned to hunt strange beasts to fill the gap.
But he didn’t expect that there was no need at all!
“Could this be considered a rebate as well?”
He Chuan wasn’t sure.
He felt that the possibility was very high.
If that were the case, the Merit Points Exchange reward system would become a perpetual motion machine that could trigger the rebate indefinitely!
As long as someone made an exchange, it would be equivalent to He Chuan giving away his wealth!
Then, after these people increased their strength, they would obtain more things and return them to him!
Tsk!
Invincible!
In time, Glory City’s material reserves would definitely reach a terrifying level!
Perhaps raising an army of more than 100,000 awakened ones wouldn’t even be a problem!
However, these were all matters for the future.
Now, they needed to deal with the potential threat brought by this natural disaster.
For the time being, there was no way to make the magic cannons.
The production cycle of this thing was definitely not short, and they were pressed for time at the moment, so they could only shelve it.
The role of the new leagion’s awakened ones was very significant.
They could do more things in this aspect.
“If I can get my hands on the blacksmithing technique and equip every member of the new legion with new equipment, I should be able to deal with those large-scale strange beasts, right?”
He Chuan calmed himself down, “However… I don’t have time to go to Freedom City, and it’s impossible for blacksmiths to come from the outside world. This road is also impassable, and Glory City is still not easy to defend.”
What could he rely on…
He couldn’t return the profits… These things were all dead objects, so it was impossible for him to give them to a living person. Moreover, the randomness was too strong, so that he couldn’t use them.
As for the deduction system…
He needed information to be able to make a directional deduction. How would he know where there was a blacksmith? Where was the forging technique?
This didn’t make sense either.
Wait a minute…
Suddenly, He Chuan had an idea. “Who said I have to deduce the direction?”
