Chapter 1578: Super Powerful System
"Wow! So, this is the famous merit points ledger!" Chen Xiaobei's eyes were closed when the image in his mind suddenly gave him a shock.
The ledger flipped opened to the first page, and the contents in it were not lines of words but an interface that resembled an operating system of a tablet.
Ding!
[Heaven welcomes seventh generation philanthropist, Chen Xiaobei in using the merit points ledger system!]
"Wow! This is incredible! My merit points ledger! Who would've imagined that this little toy has been turned into a system?"
Chen Xiaobei did not say this aloud but was thinking it all in his head.
Upon closer inspection, there were three options on the merit points ledger's interface: eliminating disaster, request for blessing, and exchange!
"Eliminating disaster is pretty straightforward. It's probably the usage of merit points to eliminate a current natural or man-made disaster!" Chen Xiaobei reflected. "Requesting for a blessing is easy to understand too. It's probably using my merit points to grant myself or someone else peace and favor! The last one, exchange, should mean to use merit points to exchange for an item I need! That's looks right. I'll choose exchange then!"
Chen Xiaobei made the decision in his mind and the merit points ledger interface redirected to a page that looked like the menu of a modern online shopping webpage.
On the page were boxes in which an item was placed, and underneath each box were numbers, which should be it's price!
"Five-star Earth God's Instrument, Dragonslayer Sword?! What in the world is that?" Chen Xiaobei gasped. "It only costs 30 million merit points? Can I exchange for one now?"
"Five-star Earth God's Medicine, Dark Purple Spiritual Ganorderma! 30 million merit points?!"
"One-star Deity's Pill, Ten-thousand Life Returning Pill! 100 million merit points! Wow! Is this a joke?"
"Nine-star Divine Beast, Four Eyed Bird's Egg! 10 billion merit points?! 10 billion! You might as well go rob someone!"
"One-star God's Item, Sacred Emperor Enigmatic Crystal, one trillion??? Oh my god... my eyes..."
"What the hell! I thought that having 30 million merit points would have made me a rich man, but it looks like I'm just a poor bastard!"
Chen Xiaobei was already starting to sweat. However, Yanwang's words suddenly came to mind!
That one time, he was discussing with Yanwang about the merit points ledger and Yanwang told him that in theory, as long as one had enough merit points, one could exchange them for any item in the merit points ledger. But in reality, the higher-tiered the items were, the more merit points they would cost, and could go as high as an astronomical figure!
For this reason, most people could not get anything that was too powerful.
"It looks like old brother Yanwang was right! It's impossible to get Deity-tiered items! Getting God-tiered items would be even more of a pie in the sky!" Chen Xiaobei thought to himself. "But, opening this merit points ledger system helped me gain some insight! Now I know that Divine Items can be divided into Earth God-tiered and Deity-tiered! This means that my Blood God's Deity-Killing Painting should be a One-starred Earth God's Instrument!"
"It's only one-star but it's already so powerful! If I use 30 million merit points to exchange for a Five-starred Earth God's Instrument, then I could dominate the entire Jianghu!"
"Wait! No, I can't!" Chen Xiaobei pulled himself back. "Thinking of it in the long term, I still have too few merit points! If I use all 30 million in one go, where am I going to get more merit points when I need to use them?"
"Mm, I better not rush this and not get something too expensive now! For now, I should just get the high-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur, and solve the prevailing danger! That's what's most important right now!"
When he thought of this, Chen Xiaobei quickly dismissed the distractions and began to search for the high-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur.
He did not even have to turn any pages, but merely thought up the words 'high-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur' before an individual box popped up. It read: High-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur, one for 10,000 merit points.
"What the f*ck! Second Shixiong... that money-faced guy! He tried to rip me off! The merit points ledger sells it for only 10,000 merit points and he was going to sell it to me for 100,000?! How ruthless of him!" Chen Xiaobei frowned. "Wait! But if second Shixiong really wanted to cheat me, he would not have asked me to check the merit points ledger! There must be something wrong here!"
Chen Xiaobei thought for a moment and then decided to give it a try. "I should exchange one strand and then I can find out the truth!"
Ding!
[Seventh generation philanthropist, Chen Xiaobei is exchanging a high-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur for 100,000 merit points. Would you like to confirm your purchase?]
"What in the world?! It was labelled 10,000! Why am I being charged 100,000? Is this a hoax?! Oh! I know! This must be Shen Gongpao's doing!" Chen Xiaobei muttered angrily. "Shen Gongpao has that crook Primordial Lord backing him up! When he secretly changed the law of time previously, it nearly drained me of my entire lifespan! This time, he's secretly changed the merit points ledger to swindle me 10 times the amount of my merit points! What a deceitful person! Does he think that I am someone he can mess with?"
The more Chen Xiaobei thought about it, the angrier he got.
"You, Sheng Gongpao, want to cheat me of my merit points?! Then I will not spend a single point to get the monkey fur! We'll see who's afraid of whom!"
With a belly full of rage, Chen Xiaobei contacted Zhu Bajie again.
He had to win this battle against Shen Gongpao!
Chen Xiaobei: Second shixiong! I'm back!
Zhu Bajie: See? I didn't lie to you, right? I already told you that the prices are determined by Shen Gongpao. I didn't want any trouble that's why I had to follow the guide! I have no choice!
Chen Xiaobei: Mm, I know you didn't cheat me! But, I really don't want to pay with merit points! Not a single point!
Zhu Bajie: Oh, then I cannot help you! I don't dare to lower the price, much less give it to you for free! If Shen Gongpao finds out, he'll punish me!
Chen Xiaobei: Do you still remember our Old Perverted Group?
Zhu Bajie: Yes, I do! You are the group leader and you have not showed up for a long time! Hahaha! I still remember that!
Chen Xiaobei: Would you like to see a picture of a beautiful woman taking a shower?
Zhu Bajie: Wow? Do you even have to ask? Hurry! Hurry! Send it to me so I can enjoy it! 🤤
Chen Xiaobei: One picture for one high-tier Prosperous Monkey Fur! High definition, completely nude, guaranteed an exceptional beauty and a first-class body! You'll regret for the rest of your life if you don't see it!
Zhu Bajie: This... this... this... this...😖. God Chen, you're forcing me to commit a crime!
Chen Xiaobei: There is a knife (刀) above the character for lust (色) - lascivious activities can lead to bitter consequences! You've messed around with Chang'e last time! This tells me that you're not afraid of that knife! But today you don't have the balls to send me a Red Envelope?
Zhu Bajie: I... I'll throw caution to the wind! Fine! I'll do the exchange!
Chen Xiaobei: Good! How many monkey furs do you have?
Zhu Bajie: There's no need to rush! I want to test the product first! Exceptional beauty and a first-class body are a rare thing! What if you're just deceiving me?
