What weapon is worth four thousand merits?
Chu Yao had this thought in a humble mood.
Of course, for an assassin like Lu Hongzhuang, weapons are extremely important.
She herself had experienced the power of her dagger.
It is indeed very sharp.
In fact, weapons are important not only for assassins, but for any profession.
But it’s expensive.
Very expensive.
Chu Yao can't even afford it now.
The only weapon at present is the King's Alloy Dagger Gloves given by the old principal Jiang Hong. Its special properties are limited to the characteristics of the alloy itself, and there are no more additional attributes.
…
The price of weapons is like this.
Guns and cannons that can be mass-produced industrially can be made very cheap.
Psychic Shell Launchers are also cheap.
However, unique cold weapons that need to be handcrafted and have special properties are very expensive.
Ridiculously expensive.
For example, the powerful ancient god who had assassinated Chu Yao before was holding the Falling Star Bow and Meteorite Arrow.
This weapon is absolutely priced sky-high.
Even after the humans captured the weapons, the imitations they made would not be cheap.
…
Therefore, it is common for many people to be heavily in debt because of a weapon, and it is not just Lu Hongzhuang.
This... is also a manifestation of the extreme shortage of scarce resources.
On the battlefield a hundred years ago, all kinds of powerful cold weapons emerged one after another. If you won a battle, you could seize several or even dozens of them.
But now, any slightly powerful cold weapon is a luxury for any family or household.
Of course, one of the reasons is that the military deliberately created a monopoly.
Artificially create scarcity, increase unit price, and recover merit points at the lowest cost.
After all, they are the ones who make the rules of the game.
In any era, it is impossible for everyone to have enough to eat, otherwise, who will do the work?
There is no point in thinking about these institutional things at the moment.
The most important thing right now is to think about how to do it and where to get some financial resources.
Chu Yao and Lu Hongzhuang looked at each other, and as soon as their eyes met, they confirmed each other.
——I can tell from their eyes that they are all people who are short of money.
"Is there any solution?"
Chu Yao asked.
Lu Hongzhuang smiled.
"Of course there is. The fastest way is definitely to kill, followed by robbing, then borrowing, and then taking out a loan. Once you become strong enough, paying it back won't be a problem at all. If you're going to die, then you won't have to pay it back at all."
Chu Yao: ...
Her thinking is exactly the same as Lu Tianbao's.
It's amazing.
"The military has already provided a quota for borrowing merit points based on each person's specific information and credit. Please check if you have enabled this function."
Lu Hongzhuang said again, smiling helplessly.
Chu Yao was silent for a moment, thought about it, and operated his personal combat computer. He took a look at the background and found that he did have the quota.
The current amount of merit points that can be borrowed is 2000.
Interest rate: 0.5%.
Chu Yao: ...
It really exists.
The military really dares to lend it.
I had previously seized an entire warehouse of supplies in the small world, but only gained less than a thousand merit points, and now it dares to lend you two thousand!
If we use the exchange rate of one point of merit equal to 50,000 spirits, this would be 10 million.
After looking at the amount in silence for a few seconds, Chu Yao clicked immediately.
Iris confirms identity.
Confirm the borrowing.
The payment was successfully issued.
The backstage quickly distributed 2,000 merits.
Chu Yao took a deep breath and silently exchanged all the merit points that he had just borrowed and were still hot for crystal cores.
200 crystal cores.
Converted into attribute points, it is 20,000 points.
It’s enough for me to use for a while.
However, the repayment pressure is also quite high, with an interest rate of 0.05% per day and 2,000 merit points, which means you have to pay back 1 merit point per day.
You have to pay at least the interest every month.
"Alright, that's it. To put it bluntly, we're all workers, working for the military."
Chu Yao was too tired to complain.
Lu Hongzhuang also nodded, with nothing to say but to smile.
…
After placing the exchange order, a few hours later, all the crystal cores Chu Yao exchanged were delivered.
The military’s special express delivery service, Dongfeng Express.
Small orders with special needs like Chu Yao's were all delivered by masters in the Soaring Realm. After signing for them, Chu Yao immediately began to refine them.
Two hundred and nine crystal cores, one attribute point.
Open the Properties panel.
Just add 2,000 points to the repair resistance.
Now all the injuries on my body have been healed. It depends on how effective the repair is during tonight's training.
…
night.
Today is the third day since we set out. We did not plan a night march, so we found a place sheltered from the wind and near water and camped outdoors.
After everyone was arranged, Chu Yao and Lu Hongzhuang quietly left the team.
There are two more people on Liangyi Mountain.
Lu Tianbao was watching outside yesterday, so he definitely won’t go today. It would be better to ask Lu Hongzhuang to watch over him.
Half an hour later.
Arrived above Liangyi Mountain.
Lu Hongzhuang and Chu Yao had the same reaction when they first saw this scene. They were dazzled and felt the shock and grandeur of nature.
There is actually such a place made in heaven.
"Let's go, go down."
In Fenglei Valley, Qian Jiangong and Wu Liye were still the same as yesterday.
However, seeing Chu Yao coming again, and bringing a young and beautiful woman with him, his attitude inevitably seemed a bit frivolous.
