Chapter 230 Where do the 10 points of merit come from?
Helping an old lady cross the road is of course a joke, and even if such a thing happens, it is highly unlikely that merit will be obtained.
After all, merit is not so cheap!
After many rounds of attempts, Guo Mo and Pan Yang finally determined that in the game "Xiuzhen Fantasy", it is indeed difficult to obtain merits rewarded by heaven.
Although there are many channels to obtain...
But a wide channel does not mean that merit rewards are the same as wholesale.
Taking the most common practice of slaying demons and eliminating evil in the world of cultivation as an example, if you want to obtain merit rewards, you need to slay the demons with "karma", which is a prerequisite.
After meeting this prerequisite, another condition must be met, that is, the player's cultivation level cannot be greater than that of the demon.
What does it mean?
To put it simply, slaying demons and eliminating evil means that you fight against demons of the same level or even stronger than you, not letting you use your invincible skills to mow down enemies.
Is it a merit to mow the grass in Wushuang?
Of course there are, but the multiplier is so high that even a dog would shake his head. The merits gained from killing a thousand low-level demons are barely enough to kill a demon of the same level.
Looking at this multiplier, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if one wants to gain merit, it is better to kill demons at the same or higher level as oneself. Killing demons at a lower level is a pure waste of time.
By the way...
The merits gained from slaying demons and exorcising monsters are not as high as imagined. The specific amount of merits given out depends mainly on the degree of karma of the demon and its strength.
"You need to cross at least three small realms and kill a demon with karma greater than level three to get a relatively good merit reward."
Guo Mo calculated, "In other words, we are in the early stages of Qi training now, so we have to kill the demons who have reached the great perfection of Qi training, so that the harvest will be more ideal."
"Then forget it!"
When Pan Yang heard this, he immediately backed off. Even the audience in Guo Mo's live broadcast room found it difficult to remain calm when they heard this request.
Kill a demon who has reached the great perfection of Qi training while in the early stage of Qi training?
No, buddy, you're not drunk, are you?
How many idiots does one have to be to say such outrageous things? Do you know how many realms are in between? Do you know how difficult it is to kill the enemy across realms?
"We can form a team..."
Guo Mo also knew that it was a bit too much for the two of them to just want to slay demons and monsters to gain merit now.
However, you can team up to fight monsters. As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. If you team up with a few more players, it should be no problem to fight monsters across borders.
"What's the point? If so many people team up to kill the enemy, and then the merit reward is divided equally, there won't be much left..."
Pan Yang felt that instead of studying how to slay demons and eliminate evil, it would be better to just improve his cultivation level and consider these things when he became stronger.
"Leveling up is one thing, but I still need to gain merit, otherwise the item drop rate is too low, and the efficiency of gaining experience is also low!"
Guo Mo has a different opinion.
He felt that since merit had so many wonderful uses, he should start accumulating it now and gradually exert its effect in the later stages.
If you don't work hard now, it will be too late to start accumulating merits when you need them later. After all, this is a very long process.
"That sounds good. Who doesn't know that merit is useful? The problem is that the game has just been launched. Where can you get merit?"
"Forget it, just take your time."
Pan Yang didn't want to waste his time on such boring things. He also needed to level up as soon as possible, break through to the middle stage of Qi training, and then invite his friends to play dungeons together! The two officially parted ways.
Pan Yang wanted to explore the secret realm as soon as possible, so he put all his effort into leveling up and killing monsters, and he ignored the so-called merit rewards.
Guo Mo firmly believed that merit was the most important thing in the game "Cultivation Fantasy". It didn't matter if the level of cultivation was a little behind in the early stage, but merit must be obtained.
Forget about slaying demons and eliminating evil.
As a newbie in the early stages of Qi training and just embarking on the path of cultivation, he can't even protect himself, let alone others.
Then try to wander around various towns and sect maps to see if there is any opportunity to do good deeds!
The scope of good people and good deeds is very wide.
Moreover, the judgment of this game is very sensitive and the player has a high degree of freedom. Guo Mo finds it quite interesting to explore.
For example, when he was wandering around a town map, he accidentally came across a random task of helping an old man find his cat, and this task was actually judged as a good deed.
Unfortunately, there is no merit.
However, this also gave Guo Mo inspiration, and he began to look for more opportunities to do good things in the game, trying to trigger the rewards from heaven.
"Ah! It's three o'clock in the afternoon?"
Before he knew it, Guo Mo had been playing the game for six hours and it was already afternoon.
After stretching, Guo Mo decided not to play anymore, after all, he was hungry. As the saying goes, man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be hungry. How can you play games on an empty stomach?
"See you tonight, guys!"
"I'm leaving now. I'll come back to explore "Cultivation Fantasy" later. Everyone should just go do what they need to do..."
After greeting the audience in the live broadcast room, Guo Mo closed the room.
He has a habit of opening the computer's task manager after each live broadcast to see which software is still running in the background, especially live streaming and recording software.
This is what every anchor does.
Don’t ask him why he developed this habit. The reason is that he made a lot of jokes when he was a host because he didn’t close the background software carefully.
A singing anchor forgot to close OBS and other streaming software after she ended the live broadcast. As a result, she thought the live broadcast was over. In fact, the audience who remained in the live broadcast room could not see the picture, but could hear the sound.
Then it happened. The female anchor kissed her boyfriend right after the live broadcast, which made all the "husband fans" in the live broadcast room lose their defense. Question marks were flying everywhere, and the guild management made a series of fatal calls to remind them that the live broadcast was not turned off.
Don't laugh!
After a whole day of live streaming, one is mentally tired and confused, so it is possible to make such low-level mistakes.
Guo Mo developed this habit after being repeatedly reminded by many senior colleagues and guild management.
After he finishes the live broadcast, he must take a look at the task manager to make sure there is no software on his computer that he forgot to close and is secretly running, and that there is indeed no sound or picture in the live broadcast room, only then can he go about his own business with peace of mind, otherwise he will not be able to sleep well.
As usual, his computer background was clean, with no unusual software occupying the space...
etc!
Just when Guo Mo was satisfied and was about to get up and go to the kitchen to make himself some food to fill his stomach, he glanced and found that the computer was still running a series of software with the prefix "xiuzhenhuanxiang".
"What the hell is this..."
Guo Mo couldn't help but complain: "Why are there so many programs running secretly in this game?"
The game client has not been exited and is still hanging in the background as a window, so it is understandable that there is a program running.
But is this too much?
Guo Mo roughly counted and found that there were six or seven programs with the prefix "xiuzhenhuanxiang" running.
Where did all this come from?
The last time I saw so many software with the same prefix was the system-level applications with the "Windows" prefix.
It's just a game, is it necessary to do so many things? Are you still competing with Microsoft?
Fortunately, the occupancy rate is not high! Although there are many programs running, Guo Mo took a look and found that the occupancy rate of these programs is very low, and hanging in the background will basically not cause any impact on daily use.
"Forget it, just ignore it for now..."
Guo Mo was really too hungry and didn't have the energy to study these things. Since the occupancy rate was not high and he still had to continue playing the game, he would just leave it in the background.
End the process? Shut down the computer? Forget it! His computer is rarely shut down, even when sleeping, it is in sleep mode.
Don't say that this is bad for the computer. He also does this so that he can use the computer at any time, so that he doesn't have to restart the computer when he wants to use it. How troublesome is that? Guo Mo went to cook.
He eats relatively simply. After all, he is a single guy, and not ordering takeout is his last bit of stubbornness. He just cooks two dishes and makes do with it.
After dinner, play with your phone for a while.
About an hour later, Guo Mo returned to the computer.
It's still early, so he doesn't plan to start the live broadcast right away. Instead, he plans to watch some videos and play some games to pass the time.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Thunderbolt, start! As soon as he opened the Thunderbolt app on the web, Guo Mo found that he had received 99+ interactive messages in the background.
He is now logging in with a small account.
The main account is only used for live broadcasts and video posting, and for daily use, the small account is still the main one. After all, he doesn't want to be discovered by his fans when he likes or comments on certain dance area videos.
Because it was a fake account, he didn't care. He would criticize people when necessary and would scold people when necessary. He didn't indulge netizens at all. After all, who knew it was his fake account? Last night, he saw a video that worshipped foreign things. The UP who immigrated abroad was promoting how round the moon was and how good life was abroad. Guo Mo's blood pressure soared.
How come this thing appeared in his homepage recommendation?
There was no time to think about this question. With Guo Mo's explosive temper, he immediately gave this UP and his fans a "persuasion and education" in the comment section.
Then……
His private messages and interaction messages exploded.
After taking a look at @'s message, Guo Mo couldn't help but curl his lips. He didn't expect that there were so many mentally retarded people on the Internet. He said a fair word, but was directly blasted by the UP's fans.
I gave you face, right?
How could the elegant and easy-going Guo Mo stand this? He immediately picked up the keyboard and engaged in a verbal battle with these mental freaks and online trolls.
certainly!
Guo Mo also knew that being outnumbered was not an advantage, so his remarks were mostly sarcastic. When the opponent broke through the defense and started swearing and making personal attacks, he would click to report.
This trick never fails! The words used in the comments are too harsh and vulgar, so the report will definitely be successful. Taking advantage of this, he created a huge movement with his own strength.
Unfortunately, the opponent can’t afford it.
After realizing that Guo Mo was deliberately provoking them to curse, and then secretly clicking the report button, they quickly collectively blocked Guo Mo and stopped interacting with him.
"That's it? How boring!"
Guo Mo shook his head. He didn't expect these people to be so vulnerable. Under his provocative words, they broke down and were blocked so quickly.
Oh no, no fun.
After talking to Gou Jinxian for half an hour and watching videos for another half an hour, Guo Mo started the live broadcast when he thought the time was almost up.
"...Good evening, everyone!"
"Stop scolding me, stop scolding me. I'm just a few minutes late. What's the big deal? Can't the anchor go to the bathroom to take care of his physiological problems?"
After fooling the audience, Guo Mole happily opened "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" and returned to the game.
It is worth mentioning that when he was eating and entertaining, because "Xiuzhen Fantasy" was always running in the background, he did not need to log in again and could directly enter the game.
What it was like before the show went offline, when it comes back it’s just…
"Fuck?!"
Guo Mo switched back to the game screen and was stunned when he saw the changes happening in the game.
He wasn't the only one stunned.
Friends who were watching the live broadcast were also stunned when they saw the impressive amount of merit.
"Where did the 10 points of merit come from?"
Guo Mo was very sure that the game was just hanging in the background and he did nothing. During this period, he did not even switch back to the game screen.
However, the amount of his merit increased from 0 to 10 points. Where did these 10 merits come from?
10 points is a lot of merit!
You know, the second test of "Cultivation Fantasy" was just launched at noon today. Many people are still in the early stages of Qi training. It is difficult to kill monsters in the wild, and gaining merits is even more wishful thinking.
Even if someone is lucky enough to trigger the merit reward mechanism in the game and obtain merit rewards from heaven, it is only 1 or 2 points. 10 points of merit are already a lot.
"What did the anchor do?"
"You're secretly looking for guides after going off-air, right? Tell me where this merit came from?"
"You're cheating, right? How come you got 10 points of merit in just a few hours?"
"I don't know!"
Facing the doubts and questions from the audience, Guo Mo said in confusion: "I just cook and eat normally after I'm off the air, and I don't play games!"
So here comes the question.
He didn't play games after the broadcast, so where did this merit come from? It can't be extra out of thin air, right?
"Anchor, take a look at the system bar!"
Reminded by the barrage, Guo Mo then remembered that he could take a look at the system prompt message in the system bar to see where this merit came from.
The system message bar is full of various game prompt messages, such as "You have left the safe zone" and "Obtained 10 copper coins".
I have been idle for a long time, so a lot of useless message reminders have accumulated in the system bar.
Guo Mo slid the mouse wheel and scrolled up for a long time before finally seeing a striking system message from half an hour ago.
[Your behavior has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, Merit +10! ]
This is the source of merit.
Guo Mo finally figured out the source of these 10 merits and breathed a sigh of relief. However, after solving the old problem, a new one arose.
In the system message bar, there was a prompt message that he had gained merit. Although this record proved that his merit was a reward automatically awarded by the game.
But here comes the problem…
He was idle at the time and doing nothing. Why was he given a merit reward for no reason?
Could it be that the game is out of order? Guo Mo felt that he had encountered a game bug and was about to report the situation to Brother Ba. However, the audience in the live broadcast room suggested that he should not submit it yet. What if this is not a bug but something else? (End of this chapter)
