A game merchant who started from the ninja world

Chapter 40 Merit Points

[Repair the walls of the Novice Village], [Store materials], [Explore the Dead Soul Mountain Range]...

"These are all quests specifically issued for hunting ghost mages."

"To repair the city wall, you need to collect various rocks and wood from the polluted area, as well as materials dropped by monsters."

"The mission to explore the Dead Soul Mountains requires players to go to the Ghost Mage's territory, gather information, and dispel the fog of war."

"After completing the task, no reward points will be issued. The task reward is a reincarnation pottery jar of various levels."

Fang Yi smiled slightly and explained: "I need 500,000 reward points to upgrade the city wall myself, but if I outsource the task to those gambling players, the reward from the pottery jar will only cost 50,000, which will allow them to work hard to collect materials and upgrade the city wall for me."

The white-haired Lolita worriedly said, "The Ghost Mage is about to attack. If we exploit the players like this, will it cause them to resist?"

The tech world has done this before.

Being besieged by the fourth-order pollution source fallen angels and a group of accompanying pollution, they chose to exploit them, which directly led to the collapse of the technological world and its fall into an apocalypse of disorder. Even the most powerful group of mecha gods of war betrayed them.

The consequences are very serious.

Fang Yi heard her concerns and said with a smile: "I didn't hold a knife to the player's neck, so how can it be considered exploitation?"

"Everything is done voluntarily by the players. They even want to thank us!"

behind the screen,
Tsunade stood at the edge of the city wall, at the station where the [City Wall Repair Mission] was submitted.

Open the backpack bar, and you will see all kinds of materials stacked densely together.

These materials were picked up and put into the backpack while I was hunting ghosts recently. It didn't take any time.

Of course, there are also very rare materials, such as the soul power crystals exploded by the ghost captain, leather with a strong ghost scent, iron ingots, etc.

They are all produced from ghost elite monsters, and the explosion rate is still very low.

If you sell all of them to the mall, you can earn 800 rewards.

"If you sell it to the mall, you can make a guaranteed profit. What a loss!"

This is Tsunade's idea.
She was unwilling to sell the materials to the mall. As everyone knows, the lowest price is to sell all kinds of materials directly to the official game.

If you sell it to some merchant players in the Novice Village, you can get about 1,500 reward points.

The combat capabilities of these merchant players are very weak. Even if their levels are not low and they are wearing all-white clothes, it is difficult for them to hunt monsters of the same level.

So the merchant players gave up hunting,

They roam around all day, buying materials and equipment from players at a guaranteed price, and then sell them to another group of players who are in more urgent need, making a profit from the difference.

"Even if we sell it to merchants, we won't make much."

After careful consideration,

Empty the backpack and put all the materials into the wall repair station.

A burst of golden light.

All the materials disappeared and a panel suddenly appeared.

[Materials submitted: Ghost Leather (Inferior)*15, Ghost Iron Ingot (Inferior)*20, Soul Power Crystal (Medium)*8, Ghost Rock (Inferior)*99...]

Merit points: 5654
Tsunade muttered to herself, "The first-level equipment pottery jar costs 100 merits, but the skill pottery jar I want most costs 1,000 merits, so I can only buy five pottery jars."

After much deliberation, I finally exchanged for the skill pottery jar. I am a level 13 priest, wearing a level 10 blue suit [Ghost Cavalry Suit] from the [Ruins Castle] dungeon, which can greatly enhance defense capabilities and add strength attributes.

She has no shortage of equipment, what she lacks now is skills and experience.

Take the level 10 awakened professional skill [Holy Light Cross] for example. To upgrade it to Lv. 2, not to mention the reward points, the skill experience alone requires 500 points.

This means that the skill needs to be released five hundred times.

Not to mention the time, the huge amount of blue medicine consumed is a considerable expense.

The game store sells experience capsules, but they are ridiculously expensive and no one is willing to buy them.

Tsunade clenched her fists, stared at the pottery jar in front of her nervously, and said, "The skill pottery jar has a 20% chance of exploding a skill experience capsule. I don't believe I can't get one!"

At first, she was actually reluctant to spend a huge amount of reward points to upgrade her skills.

This is an idea that many players have had, simply because upgrading skills is too expensive, and the higher the quality of the skill, the more expensive it is to upgrade.

But in the end, everyone gave up the idea and was willing to spend all their money to upgrade.

no way,
The temptation to upgrade skills is simply too great and players simply cannot resist it.

The same skills,
[Holy Light Cross Lv.1] The healing effect is slightly stronger than ordinary medical ninjutsu. When it reaches Lv.2, the healing effect is three times that of the Palm Ninjutsu!
Just like Wood Release.

With the support of the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, a player from the Iwagakure Village exchanged for an expensive Wood Release skill from the game store.

The results were far from satisfactory.

The effect of Lv.1 Wood Release is not enough to end the chaos, it is not as powerful as the legendary Ninja God's hand.

At best he can build a wooden house, and his strength is just that of an ordinary jonin.

Having seen the power of Hashirama Senju, the Tsuchikage was unwilling to give up, and reluctantly upgraded the player's Wood Release to Lv.5, and then...

The originally weak Wood Release became countless times more powerful after the upgrade. Although it could not reach the level of Hashirama Senju, it could easily create a small forest.

behind the screen,
The white-haired Lolita asked curiously, "Master, merit points and reward points are the same, they are both used to purchase items, why do you have to do this?"

"Of course it's different!"

Fang Yi's mouth curled up slightly as he explained, "Reward points are assets without any shackles and can be exchanged for any item at will."

"Merit points cannot be traded. They can only be exchanged for pottery jars at mission points. They will automatically reset to zero every thirty days and cannot be stored for a long time."

The white-haired loli felt even more strange, her eyes widened as she said, "The types of items are restricted, you can't buy them freely, and there's even a time limit. Are the players crazy? They actually use precious materials that can be sold directly for reward points to exchange for merits?"

"Of course it's because it's cheap!"

Fang Yi said as a matter of course: "After the game was updated, the explosion rate of equipment and skill scrolls became higher, and the samsara pottery jars sold in the mall were naturally unsalable."

"Most players would rather grind than buy expensive random pottery jars."

"However, the price of the merit pottery jars sold at the mission point is very affordable, especially when compared with the pottery jars in the mall. It's like a bargain at a bargain price."

"The only downside is that you can't use reward points to buy it. You need the merit points after completing the tasks of repairing the city wall and exploring the Dead Soul Mountain Range."

The problem of the merit value expiration date is also easy to solve. Can't we just spend it all before it expires?

What if it’s not spent?
We can't blame the game merchants for being unscrupulous, we can only blame the players themselves for not controlling the redemption time well.

Just like the informed consent form you choose before logging into the game, if players think there is too much content and don’t want to read it, they can’t blame us, the game manufacturers, afterwards, can they?
