Chapter Sixty-Five: Allen's Gaze

As soon as Qin Mo dismounted, he was surrounded by a group of nobles who thanked him profusely. Whether their thanks were genuine or not, their smiles were wide open, which eased some of the irritation in Qin Mo's heart.

"You've come here... also for a hunt outside the city? I wonder what the specifics of the hunt are?" Qin Mo looked at the excited nobles and comforted herself, "Judging from how happy these guys are, this hunt might not be such a bad thing."

"Your Highness, please look, all the merit points can be exchanged over there." A nobleman pointed it out to Qin Mo. Qin Mo vaguely remembered him; his name seemed to be Wu Shenghuan, a native of Huzhou in Jiangnan.

On either side of the main gate of the General of the Northern Expedition's mansion, there were notice boards, usually displaying various announcements and rewards. Now, both notice boards were covered with yellow paper, densely covered with writing, and many nobles crowded in front of these two yellow papers, whispering among themselves.

Seeing Qin Mo looking in their direction, the crowd automatically parted to make way for her. Qin Mo smiled and nodded to the crowd, displaying impeccable aristocratic demeanor.

The yellow paper was densely covered with the standards for exchanging military merits, ranging from the heads of Rakshasa soldiers to the heads and fangs of orc kings, a total of over a hundred different items.

The heads of low-ranking soldiers can only be exchanged for silver coins. To exchange for military merits, one must be at least a high-ranking officer of the Rakshasa tribe, like the tribal chief Dak whom Qin Mo's men shot, who only received a first-level merit. However, Xin Sa's head can be exchanged for a third-level military merit, as well as... a rubbing of the "Broken Record" and a "vitality potion".

“Young Master, military merits can be exchanged at any time, but the cultivation manual and the ‘potion’ can only be exchanged irregularly during wartime. This time, the General is very generous... he actually won the ‘cleansing spirit potion’.” Wu Shengze explained to Qin Mo in a low voice. He knew that Qin Mo had been “raised” since childhood and rarely came into contact with outside affairs. He had a lot of cultivation, but he only half understood these ordinary trivial matters.

"Hmm! Let me take another look..." Qin Mo didn't comment on Wu Shengze's words. He believed that a leader wouldn't suddenly become generous for no reason. Zhao Qirui's early opening of the exchange of cultivation technique potions must have a reason that ordinary people couldn't see.

Orc elite warriors can exchange for first-tier military merits. Orc generals can exchange for potions, cultivation techniques, or third-tier military merits, or a high-quality weapon or armor.

The orc warlord is even more impressive; he can exchange his equipment for a rare weapon or armor produced by the Imperial Royal Workshop. Given the reputation and quality of the Royal Workshop, this is practically a family heirloom.

Of course, if you have the ability to kill an orc "King," you can obtain a set of epic weapons and armor... or a "Spirit Cleansing Potion."
