Wang Ming now has nearly 100,000 merit points, unlocking the third stage of the Merit Hall.

Upon arriving at the Hall of Merit, Wang Ming immediately opened the third tier of the Hall of Merit exchange list.

The third tier has the same item types as the second tier, but the star rating ranges from 1 to 4 stars. The equipable level is no longer ordinary artifacts of level 10-20, but magical artifacts of level 20-30.

At the same time, the level of pet equipment has also been increased from 10-20 to 20-30, and the highest star rating has also been increased to 4 stars.

Of course, because the level and grade of the equipment are all upgraded, the required merit points also increase by double.

"Merit points for level 30 3-star weapons, merit points for level 30 4-star weapons."

"Level 30 3-star jewelry points, level 30 4-star jewelry points."

"Merit points for level 30 3-star armor, merit points for level 30 4-star armor."

"Tsk tsk tsk, these pieces of equipment really require a lot of merit points. Luckily, I don't care about them."

Wang Ming closed the character equipment interface and opened the pet equipment interface, looking at the 4-star collar.

"The Cerberus is only level 25, so these standard pet equipment don't require many merit points."

For some unknown reason, Wang Ming has been farming the Misty Fairy Forest dungeon for so long, but he has only obtained a very small amount of pet equipment, only seven or eight pieces.

Even so, most of these seven or eight pieces of pet equipment are only 1 or 2 stars, which is not as good as the equipment on Cerberus.

Seeing that there were 4-star standard pet equipment here, Wang Ming spent more than 10,000 merit points to exchange for a set and equipped it on Cerberus.

As for pet skills, the highest grade is only A, and Wang Ming glanced at it and then stopped paying attention.

Then Wang Ming opened the special exchange list.

...

Stone of Fortune (Special Item)

Grade: None

Effect: After use, it can increase the character's luck value by 1 point.

Price: Merit Points + 100 Gold Coins

...

Compared to the second tier, the quality of the items that can be exchanged in the third tier of the Merit Hall has increased significantly, and there is also an additional Luck Stone.

"The Stone of Luck, this is a good thing." As far as Wang Ming knows, one benefit of luck is that it can increase the drop rate.

“You are indeed worth the price of 1 merit point, but I have Soul Devouring, so there is no need to waste points to exchange for you.”

Wang Ming then exchanged for a Breakthrough Pill, an Ascension Pill, and a Rank 7 Captain Token, and used the Rank 7 Captain Token directly.

"System notification: You have used the Captain's Order (Rank 7), and you have become a Captain (Rank 7) of the Yuanyu Empire."

"System notification: You have been awarded the title of Rank 7 Captain."

"System notification: As you are the first player to become a Captain (rank 7) of the Yuanyu Empire, you have been awarded 5000 merit points."

"System notification: You have gained 40 gold coins and experience points."

...

"Announcement to the whole region: Seizing a chance to survive has become the first seventh-rank captain. He is awarded 5,000 merit points for seizing a chance to survive, and can receive 40 gold coins every month and experience points every day."

"Regional Announcement: Seizing a Chance of Survival has made him the first seventh-rank captain..."

"Regional Announcement: Seizing a Chance of Survival has made him the first seventh-rank captain..."

......

Wang Ming ignored the system announcement and instead opened the title list, where a new title had appeared.

From a seventh-rank military officer (green),

Grade: Beginner

Effect: Increases the character's base attributes by 5%, and grants an additional 150% merit points when killing monsters.

...

"5% to all attributes, not bad, but the color of this title is really annoying." Wang Ming put on the seventh-rank captain's hat, and a line of green characters for seventh rank appeared above his head.

"I've exchanged everything I needed to. Now I need to level up. This time, I can go directly to the level 30 monster territory."

Wang Ming opened the world map, mounted Cerberus, and rode off into the wilderness.

"System notification: You have entered the Enchanted Forest. The monsters here are of a high level and extremely dangerous. Please proceed with caution."

The Cerberus sped up even more, and in less than half an hour, Wang Ming arrived at the area of ​​level 30 monsters.

Looking at the monster in front of him, Wang Ming got goosebumps all over.

What Wang Ming was afraid of was not the level or attributes of the monsters, but the fact that the monsters here were snake monsters.

Green Forest Serpent Monster (Normal)

Level: 30

Realm: Qi Refining Level 10

Life: 6340

Attack: 373

Defense: 224

...

Mutant Green Forest Serpent Monster (Elite)

Skill: Venom Attack

...

White Crystal Flower Snake (Common)

...

Before Wang Ming lay a field of serpent monsters, most of which were over a meter long. Some were colorful, some green, and some red. All sorts of serpent monsters crawled around, looking quite terrifying.

"Damn it, it's a basilisk! This thing is disgusting."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. This is just a game. These are just experience and attributes. There's nothing to be afraid of," Wang Ming reassured himself. He then ordered Cerberus to attack the snake swarm, while Wang Ming himself stood still without making a move.

"System notification: Your pet Cerberus has killed the Green Forest Serpent Monster, gaining 5000 experience points."

"System notification: Your pet Cerberus has killed the Green Forest Serpent Monster. You have gained 5000 experience points, plus an additional 1000 experience points, and your merit points are increased by 2 and 3 respectively."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique, Soul Devouring, has been successfully activated. You have gained 1 point of Agility attribute."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique, Soul Devouring, has been successfully activated. You have gained 1 point of fire attribute enhancement value."

"System notification: Your skill Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, and you have gained a 1% critical hit chance."

"System notification: Your pet Cerberus has killed the White Crystal Flower Serpent, gaining 7500 experience points."

"System notification: Your pet Cerberus has killed the mutated White Crystal Flower Snake. You have gained 7500 experience points, plus an additional 1500 experience points, and your merits have increased by 4 and 6 respectively."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique, Soul Devouring, has been successfully activated. You have gained 1 point of Strength attribute and 1 point of free attribute."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique, Soul Devouring, has been successfully activated. You have gained 1 point of Water Attribute Enhancement and 1 point of Wood Attribute Resistance."

"System notification: Your skill 'Spirit Devouring' has been successfully activated, and you have gained 1 skill point."

......

After Cerberus's equipment was upgraded, it could instantly kill all the monsters. With just one skill, the snake monster in front of it would die instantly, leaving only a pile of equipment on the ground.

This scene reassured Wang Ming a lot.

"Well done," Wang Ming praised, and then rushed towards the swarm of snakes.
