Chapter 535: Merit and Life and Death

Two hours later.

Liu Ping reappeared in the camp.

Aland greeted him with a smile,

"Eh? Why are you back? Did you encounter any setbacks in your hunt? "

Liu Ping met his eyes, but found that there was no smile in his eyes, only annoyance and scrutiny.

"That’s not it, this card seems to be a little full."

Liu Ping handed over the card with the storage function.

Alan took the card, looked down, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"A poisonous snake, a poisonous lizard, and two Night Demons that are good at assassination. You actually reached the passing line in just one night!"

He patted Liu Ping’s shoulder warmly, led him to the rattan chair in the center of the camp, sat down, and handed a bottle of beer to Liu Ping.

"Drink, you deserve it. It’s my treat," Aland said.

"Why, aren’t merits very valuable?" Liu Ping asked, puzzled.

"I’m your referral. You’ve reached the passing line on the first night, which proves that you have great potential. I can already recruit you into the expeditionary army vanguard team. This will bring me a good amount of merit points," Alan said with a smile.

His eyes were full of enthusiasm.

Liu Ping opened the lid and took a sip of beer.

In fact, even a beginner-level saber technique like "Tremor Slash" was more powerful than Liu Ping expected.

This was a saber technique that no one had ever seen before, and it naturally had the effect of "catching the enemy off guard".

The enemy basically did not know how to dodge it.

He looked into the void.

A line of small burning words remained there:

[Current merit: 1100 points.]

He only needed 100 more merit points to upgrade "Tremor Slash".

The reason why he rushed back was that it was already midnight, the time for the day’s merits to be calculated.

He had to see what would happen with his own eyes!

"You’re now in the Higher Virtualized Stage. do you have the confidence to continue to break through to the next realm?" Aland asked with concern.

"Yes, just give me some time," Liu Ping said.

"Good! Good! Not only will I give you time, but I will also arrange cultivation resources for you. I hope that by the end of the third day, you can advance to another realm. In that case, your evaluation will be higher, "Aland said enthusiastically.

The higher Liu Ping’s evaluation, the more benefits he would get.

"No problem," Liu Ping said.

Aland looked at his casual expression, patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "Wait a minute, we have something to do here. We’ll talk about it later."

"Alright, go ahead," Liu Ping said.

Aland stood up, walked to the center of the camp, and said loudly, "Okay, it’s time for settlement!"

Several figures walked out of the darkness and stood in front of the bonfire.

A wisp of starlight flew over from afar and quietly landed on a rock not far away, revealing its figure.

It was Delia.

Aland nodded at her, took out a card, and threw it out.

Bang!

The card turned back into a calculator and returned to his hand.

"Sniper Old Six, you have 176 merit points. That’s not bad. You also put in a lot of effort when capturing the Green Dragon. I’ll give you 20 merit points, so you have 196 merit points."

Aland entered a line of numbers on the calculator.

Ding

Data confirmed!

A line of numbers suddenly appeared on the sniper’s chest: 196.

He seemed to be relieved and murmured, "I shouldn’t be the lowest ..."

"Of course you won’t be the lowest. After all, on the battlefield, you have to rely on your one shot to kill many times." Aland smiled.

He walked to the second member and said, "Templar Shield Knight, you’re at the forefront in every battle. Although you didn’t get any points, I know in my heart that without you, the battle wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

"So, although you only have 153 points, in a few large-scale hunts, as the captain, I’ll give you more points. I’ll give you 50 points."

Aland tapped on the calculator.

Ding!

A score appeared on the chest of the burly Temple Shield Knight.

203 points!

The sniper looked at the number of merit points on the chest of the Temple Shield Knight and was already nervous.

The Temple Shield Knight’s tense face gradually relaxed.

No matter what, his merit points were higher than the sniper’s.

He wouldn’t be the one with the lowest merit points.

"Thank you, boss. If you need anything, just give me an order. I won’t hesitate to go through water and tread on fire."

The Templar Shield Knight buzzed and even knelt down on one knee and bowed to Aland.

The smile on Aland’s face grew wider. He waved his hand and said, "You deserve it. You don’t have to be polite with me."

A sharp sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

The longsword pierced into the mouth of the Templar Shield Knight and came out from the back of his head.

The knight didn’t have time to react at all. His whole body twitched, and just as he raised his hands to grab the spine of the sword, he stopped moving.

He was originally kneeling on one knee, but now his body was strung up by the sword and hung in the air by Aland.

Aland said with a smile:

"Although you’re not the one with the lowest merit points, at least twice, you deliberately missed the monster’s attack and caused the spellcasters behind you to be in a mess."

"Do you think someone will be injured like this and replace you as the one with the lowest merit points?"

Absolute silence.

The smile on Aland’s face disappeared.

He stepped on the other party’s face to make it easier for him to withdraw his longsword.

"Do you think you can hide from my eyes? Idiot. "

The longsword was stabbed into the ground.

Aland took the calculator, walked to the next team member, and shouted, "Conjurer Old Nine!"

"I’m here, Captain!"

A dark-skinned, short man said.

"Well, you did well. I won’t say much. I’ll give you bonus points for the few hunts, and the final score is 195 points." Aland said.

"Yes, Captain!" The short man said.

Aland walked past him and moved on to the next person.

Taking advantage of this moment, the short man quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Not long after, Aland had already walked in front of Delia.

"How many did you kill? Is it enough? Do you want me to give you more merit points from the Green Dragon hunting mission? "Aland asked with concern.

"No need. My hands are covered with wailing souls." Delia said.

As she spoke, she waved her slender arms and made a chopping motion.

"Let me see how many you killed. What a beautiful number. Then I won’t give you bonus points." Aland praised.

He typed out a line of numbers on the calculator.

Ding!

A line of numbers appeared on Delia’s chest: 310.

In just two hours, her merit points had surpassed everyone else!

Liu Ping noticed that every time someone’s merit points were calculated, the others would stare nervously.

Everyone’s merit points seemed to be about the same.

There were even two people whose merit points were the same.

The reason for this situation was that Aland’s bonus points in the large-scale hunting mission were too vague. There was no strict basis and it seemed to be given randomly.

He even deliberately let everyone’s merit points be closer to each other.

This created a tense atmosphere.

Everyone was afraid that they would be the one to die in the end.

But the strange thing was ...

When Delia’s merit points were calculated, everyone relaxed and didn’t even bother to look at it.

Liu Ping thought for a moment and understood.

It seemed that she was indeed the strongest!

Even Aland wanted to please her.

Delia’s eyes moved, and when no one was paying attention, she threw a glance at Liu Ping.

"If I die, he’s afraid that he won’t be able to handle some situations, so he’s very concerned about my situation." Delia transmitted her voice.

"I see." Liu Ping also transmitted his voice.

After a while.

The score of the last team member came out.

It was another woman. She was the Shadow Assassin responsible for being the team’s scout.

"I’m sorry, your merit points are only 179. It’s the lowest today."

Aland said regretfully.

"Aland, please, I’ve accompanied you several times today. Don’t let me die!" The female assassin knelt on the ground and begged.

Aland sighed, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "There’s no other way. You don’t have much potential anymore. Whether it’s in battle or accompanying me, it’s all disappointing."

"Annoying."

Aland tapped a line of numbers on the calculator.

Ding!

A line of small words appeared on the woman’s chest: 179.

She had the lowest score!

A sudden change occurred.

A card flew up from the woman’s body and turned into the half-man, half-woman monster shadow.

The shadow stretched out its hand and waved at the woman.

The woman let out a scream, and her face suddenly became twisted and crazy.

"Aland," she said in a vicious tone, "I’ll make you regret it!"

A dagger appeared in her hand and she threw it directly at Liu Ping.

"Damn bitch!" Aland’s face changed.

Unfortunately, the situation changed too quickly. Although he was guarding against the other party’s sneak attack, he didn’t expect the other party to target Liu Ping.

This was the person he recommended. If there was a problem, his merit points would be deducted!

The dagger split into two and instantly spread out, turning into twelve shadows and stabbing at Liu Ping.

"Quick, dodge!" Delia shouted.

Liu Ping’s body shook.

A flash of lightning shot out from his hand and wiped out the twelve phantoms.

The lightning shadow continued to make vibrating sounds, passed through the camp, and flew into the sky, disappearing in a flash.

What a fast attack!

Even the female assassin was stunned. She didn’t expect the other party to break her attack just like that.

"Sorry," Liu Ping sighed and shook his head, "I didn’t mean to disappoint you."

He sheathed his long sword.

The female assassin’s eyes dimmed, and she smiled bitterly, "So I’m really the weakest one."

As soon as she finished speaking.

She instantly turned into a blurry blood mist and went into the card.

The card was dyed bright red and quietly disappeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

The entire camp was silent.

Aland stretched, yawned and said, "Okay, it’s a brand new day. Let’s rest. We’ll start in two hours!"

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

They went into their own tents and began to recharge.

Aland walked to Liu Ping and said with a smile, "Your bladesmanship is not bad. Where did you learn it from?"

"I figured it out myself," Liu Ping said seriously.

"You can figure out such a powerful swordsmanship?" Aland asked in surprise.

"It’s not that powerful. When I use this move, I have to tremble all over," Liu Ping said helplessly.

Aland thought for a while. It was indeed so just now.

Trembling all over?

Only then could he use the move.

This was too strange, and the limitations were quite obvious.

He relaxed and shook his head with a smile. "You’re indeed a young man. You only know how to think about strange things. Forget it, let’s not talk about it. You should rest too. Follow the team in two hours."

"Understood," Liu Ping said.
