Merit value!

What is the merit value? Perhaps many players don’t know much about it at this stage, but Yang Fan is very clear about it.

When it comes to meritorious values, we have to mention the history of "Ruins".

In 1010 of the Red Calendar, the famous navigator "Gorrit" discovered an ancient continent full of demons, undead creatures and mutant beasts in the depths of the distant ocean, and named it the "Relics Continent" (also known as "Ancient Continent"). Since then, countless adventurers and ambitious families have come across the ocean, fighting with each other for adventure and treasure hunting and power. Even the three local regimes have participated and sent troops to carry out expeditions.

These three regimes are:

Eastern Holy Dragon Empire: It is said that the ancestors of the Holy Dragon Empire had blood ties with a powerful creature named "Dragon" in the ancient continent, so they took the dragon as the name, and used the serpentine winged holy dragon as the totem. The people of the Holy Dragon Empire believed that their emperor was the son of the supreme god king who was given to mankind by God, so they were the Holy Dragon Emperor. The Holy Dragon Empire was a feudal imperial country, and all power was in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

Western Os Empire: The meaning of Os in ancient texts is "truth". This is a country that advocates truth and believes that "knowledge is power". The people of the Os Empire respect natural order and human wisdom, and should rule this country with the will of the people, but human wisdom is also divided into different levels, so a few elite sages should form parliaments at all levels, with the Supreme Senate as the authority to grasp state power. The symbol of the Os Empire is the magic eye rune symbolizing truth.

"Thorn Flower Alliance": Strictly speaking, it is not an empire, but a regime organization formed by dozens of ancient kingdoms of all sizes. However, over the years, they have intermarried and connected with each other, and have already had the strength to compete with the Holy Dragon Empire and the Os Empire. It is already a well-deserved empire. Because it is located in a barren plateau area, most of the citizens of small countries have liberal tendencies and adventure spirit, and many famous adventurers and mercenaries come from here. Even the famous navigator "Gorite" is the national. The alliance implements a chief system, and each kingdom has its own inheritance method and does not allow other kingdoms to interfere. However, the power of the alliance is controlled by the strongest, and is called the "big leader". The great leader is a lifetime system, but it is not hereditary. After each great leader dies or abdicates, the kings of the various countries will run again.

(Novel settings, please do not contact reality.)

In "Rule", players are stateless people, either orphans who survived by chance in war areas, or people from remote villages. They have not belonged to any force since ancient times. They have learned martial arts or magic by chance and become adventurers.

While the three major regimes are competing to win over players, players can also complete certain tasks, donate materials, or discover the plot to obtain the "meritorship" of the corresponding forces.

This is similar to the reputation system of major forces. However, similar to the Magician Guild, the Light Church, and the Warrior Guild are all transnational professional organizations, not empires, and cannot compete with national forces. Therefore, merits are more useful than reputation.

Getting meritorious not only has the opportunity to obtain official positions or titles from a certain country, but also has the possibility of getting support from that country and becoming the king of adventurers from now on. These are not comparable to the reputation of the power.

The "Aksu Staff" that Yang Fan obtained now is a special task item that increases national merit.

“Meritorious items…”

Unintentionally getting this kind of item, Yang Fan couldn't help but admit that he was indeed lucky. But then he was depressed, because the game history is obviously not yet time to become a nationality, and he got meritorious items so quickly. Although he was ahead of most players, it was also harmful to be too advanced.

A genius knows which country to join!

This is not up to you. It is best to wait until all major guilds have settled in and the situation of strength and weakness is gradually becoming clear, it is not too late to make another choice.

Since there is no decision to join any country, it has become a problem to hand over this meritorious item to which expeditionary army on which side of the country to obtain corresponding merits.

"Forget it, take it back first."

Yang Fan couldn't help but curl his lips and shook off those meaningless worries.

Obtaining this item is indeed an unexpected gain. How to say, although there is no benefit for the time being, it can add a full 10,000 merit value to yourself, and it will definitely come in handy in the future.

After continuing to dig, Yang Fan got some materials and equipment. At this time, his space magic ring was almost full and could no longer accommodate other materials. He even had to clean up the valuable ones and came back with rare materials.

“…”

However, when he wanted to put all these harvests into the warehouse and accumulate them, he suddenly thought of something.

Now I save them myself, naturally, to keep them for free, and treat them as a waste of money - it’s tasteless to eat, but it’s a pity to throw them away.

No matter how high the value is, it has lost the value of the transaction because of the "treasure digging". This does not mean that you cannot sell them for money, but that doing such things will require great risks. Before you can't afford to lose the blame, smart people should not have their ideas.

Yang Fan had even set a dead rule for himself: these things are destined to be under the bottom of the warehouse, and if they cannot be used for a period of time in the future, they will be directly destroyed.

But just when he saved the "Aksu Staff" together, Yang Fan suddenly realized that the merit value must reach a certain level before the "Empire Solicitation" task was triggered. He happened to know such a value, which is 12,000 merit.

If the merit value reaches 12,000, the NPCs of the corresponding country will send an olive branch to the player and invite him to be loyal to the empire. Before this, the mission will not be triggered.

It is not easy to obtain. The only way to open up is to pay meritorious items and donate materials. Since the former has no guarantee of drop rate and the latter requires a lot of money, energy and time, no other players are willing to do it, and no one knows that there is an important system for post-12,000 to accumulate meritorious values, but Yang Fan is not an ordinary person, but he knows the later development.

Although those who join the empire first have to risk joining a vulnerable country and being harvested by strong enemies in the future, there is a saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the back of a cow. If you can make a fortune in your own country, why worry about being suppressed by other countries?

Yang Fan couldn't help but lit up.

Then, to which side should I hand over this meritorious item, this problem seems to be solved.

What if you care about so many things? Just choose one!

If you are determined to join the national power, the most important thing is to open the gap with other players as much as possible, and take advantage of others not realizing the importance of merit and start the national system first...

There is no doubt that I have a huge advantage.

For example, if this meritorious item was dug hundreds of times before it was dug out, how could others easily get similar things?

For example, donating various designated materials to the Imperial Expeditionary Force is extremely harsh. No one is willing to waste so many rare materials to try. Even if they are willing, they may not necessarily have those. But they are different. Their own materials are all "digged" and they are produced in secret realms, so many of them should meet the requirements.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan almost jumped up.

Yes, if you are lucky, it is possible to become the leader of the guild power directly. There is an NPC power behind it, but the advantage is very great!
