Chapter 7: A Merit Quest Accidentally Started

When the goblin killed Scar Lao Wu and saved the thin little girl, a screen suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Lingtian, who was dozens of miles away, that only he could see, and the screen displayed a few lines of simple text.

"Your subordinate goblin killed one of the henchmen of the Japanese in the opposing camp and received 10 merit points."

"Your subordinate Zhang Dagou saved a thin little girl, and the other party is grateful to you, and you get 1850 merit points."

"Due to Zhang Dagou's actions, you triggered the optional quest: Merit."

Xiao Lingtian carefully read this optional quest called Merit, which showed that Xiao Lingtian was required to gain 10,000 merit points in a month.

If Xiao Lingtian accepts and successfully completes this quest, the Ring of Life will additionally open the building template for one of the six towns in Heroes of Invincible IV. If the mission fails, all the merits he has earned in the month will be reset to zero!

"It doesn't seem too difficult. Saving one person will give you 1850 merit points, so isn't it possible to complete the goal by saving 6 people? Xiao Lingtian put down the work in his hand and muttered to himself at the screen in front of him.

"I need to correct your mistakes!" As if hearing Xiao Lingtian's muttering, the old man in the life ring said loudly: "Zhang Dagou's actions are almost equivalent to saving this little girl's life!" And the other party is also a person who knows how to repay her kindness, she directly worships Zhang Dagou as a life-saving benefactor and a big hero, and Zhang Dagou let the life ring create under your instructions, therefore, all the merits he obtained will be transferred to you. ”

"If you change someone, even if you save the other person's life, you will rarely get so much merit at once! Saving an adult who knows how to be grateful can gain more than 500 points of merit! If the person you save is a person who doesn't know how to be grateful, you won't even be able to get any merit! ”

The old man's words made Xiao Lingtian in a dilemma, if saving one person could only gain less than 500 points of merit, then at least 20 people needed to be saved to be able to achieve this goal.

As for those small events such as helping the old lady cross the road, the merit value of a few tenths of a bit, I don't know how many good deeds I have to do to make up 10,000 merits.

If you don't accept this task, you will already have at least 1850 merit points now, and with a few more efforts, you should soon be able to gather enough merit to build a farmer's thatched hut, and when the time comes, you only need 4 merit points to make the Ring of Life create a peasant.

Not counting the other roles of farmers, their tax stunts alone can bring Xiao Lingtian a lot of ocean income!

"As a reminder, you still have 23 minutes and 46 seconds to consider, and if you haven't made your choice before time runs out, the Ring of Life will assume that you voluntarily abandon this mission!" The old man said leisurely.

"Fight, it's a big deal to be busy for a month!" Xiao Lingtian was excited by the old man's words, and suddenly made up his mind: "I accept this task!" ”

"Please note that there are still 29 days, 59 minutes and 59 seconds until the end of the mission, please be sure to hurry up and accumulate virtues!" As soon as Xiao Lingtian's words fell, the old man's words came to mind, and at the same time, a red countdown display frame appeared in front of him.

Whether it was these task screens or task prompts, as long as Xiao Lingtian didn't pay attention to them, after a few seconds, they would automatically disappear. When Xiao Lingtian needed it, as long as his inner thoughts turned to this aspect, they would automatically show up again.

"Let's go, go to meet Zhang Dagou!" Xiao Lingtian didn't have the heart to work anymore, he took two goblins, a jungle goblin, and four giant wolves to go out along Zhang Dagou's original road out of the mountain.

This is the third day that Xiao Lingtian has come to this time and space, in the past three days, Xiao Lingtian has accumulated thirty points of summoning energy, summoning three goblins consumed 21 points, summoning a jungle goblin consumed 7 points, a total of 28 points were consumed, and now there are still two points left.

The four giant wolves were summoned by Xiao Lingtian early in the morning, since his hero level was upgraded to level 2, his magic recovery speed reached 2 points per day, and it cost just 2 points of magic to summon a wolf once, so Xiao Lingtian simply cast the magic to summon wolves once a day early in the morning.

The elves had their own unique way of identifying the marks left by their companions, and the elves who followed Zhang Dagou out had left special marks on the path that only their kind could find.

Xiao Lingtian, led by the two goblins, walked quickly towards the outside of the forest. The four giant wolves scattered and formed a prismatic escort formation, faintly protecting Xiao Lingtian in the middle. The newly summoned jungle elf blessed everyone and the wolves with luck.

Xiao Lingtian observed his attribute table and found that the luck value of 11 points had become 21 points. I don't know what this luck value is for, but it's not a bad thing if it's a little higher.

Through the casting of the jungle goblin, Xiao Lingtian found that there was still a big difference between reality and the game. For example, in the game, the jungle goblin can cast two lucky blessings per battle, while the jungle goblin summoned by Xiao Lingtian can cast ten lucky blessings a day.

In the original game, no matter how many jungle goblins there were, and no matter how many targets they cast their spells, they were directly calculated according to one army! But in reality, each Jungle Elf can only bless a single target with a single spell.

After the spell was cast, the Jungle Elf jumped onto the back of a giant wolf, who carried him forward.

The wolf is not a mount fit to ride, at least not a mount fit for humans. But the jungle elf only has the height and weight of an ordinary human three-year-old child, and the giant wolf can still carry such a weight.

Zhang Dagou got the old man's warning, and knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't bother at the moment, and wanted to leave after untying the two horses.

At this time, the little girl who was beaten and rolled all over the ground just now also followed Zhang Dagou closely to the front of the two horses.

"Little girl, hurry up and run for your life! I'm leaving too! Zhang Dagou looked at the little girl and said softly.

"I'm not leaving! Besides, after you leave, the Japanese behind that scoundrel won't let me go. Please take me! The little girl's gaze revealed a stubbornness far beyond her age.

"Hey, okay." Zhang Dagou thought about it and agreed to the little girl's request.

These two horses have ready-made saddles on their backs, and although Zhang Dagou and these peasants cannot ride horses to fight as cavalry, as long as the speed of the horses is not fast, they can still be infantry on horseback.

He took the little girl on his horse, rode with her, and urged the horse to jog. Another horse followed behind.

Zhang Dagou first went to the blacksmith shop to get seeds, farm tools and other things, put these things on the back of another horse, and began to run towards the road from which they came.

Soon after Zhang Dagou and the others left, two Japanese ronins came to the scene of the fight with a scolding attitude. Of course, the two Japanese ronins are not distressed by Scar's death, they are distressed that the two good horses that Scar's care for have been lost.

This is already the Xing'an Tun Reclamation District, naturally there can be no Japanese soldiers, these two Japanese ronins saw that the murderer had gone away, and they also heard that Zhang Dagou was a master of hidden weapons, but with a raised hand, he used some hidden weapon to cut the neck artery of Scar Lao Wu, and he didn't have the courage to chase it.

Although the two Japanese ronins didn't have the courage to chase Zhang Dagou, they didn't want to stop there, so they used their rogue skills to find trouble, found the security team of Gegen Temple, and went to fight them.

Zhang Dagou and Xiao Lingtian didn't know anything about these miscellaneous things. After Xiao Lingtian received Zhang Dagou, he let the four giant wolves break off, messed up the traces of Zhang Dagou entering the forest, and did his best to disturb the sight of the possible pursuers.

After listening to Zhang Dagou's explanation, Xiao Lingtian was also angry. It turned out that the rescued little girl was only a little over nine years old, she only knew that her name was Zi, her parents had been brutally murdered by the Japanese, and she herself became an orphan.

Today, she was really hungry and couldn't stand it, and wanted to steal some corn kernels from the grain bags on the back of the two horses that Scar Lao Wu was taking care of, but she was discovered by Scar Lao Wu.

This dog's scar Lao Wu not only did not have any sympathy, but also viciously whipped and beat the son, if it wasn't for Zhang Dagou who saved the son at the right time, it is estimated that the son would be beaten to death by him!

"I'm sorry! Big brother, I'm sorry! ......" Zi heard Zhang Dagou call Xiao Lingtian Young Master, and saw Xiao Lingtian full of anger after listening to Zhang Dagou's explanation, thinking that Xiao Lingtian was angry at Zhang Dagou for saving himself, and said sorry to Xiao Lingtian vigorously.

Xiao Lingtian barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said softly: "Son, I'm not angry with you, I'm angry that this scarred fifth lady is not a thing!" ”

Speaking of Scar Lao Wu, Xiao Lingtian's anger could no longer be suppressed, and he couldn't help but roar angrily: "Damn! What a dog thing! Even such a little girl can do it! ”

As he spoke, he turned to Zhang Dagou and said, "You did the right thing this time!" No matter at any time, as long as you see someone bullying the weak, you must try to save it! ”

Actually, it's not that Xiao Lingtian is really so great. In the later life, he can do something that does not harm his interests, such as giving up his seat to the old man, but if he wants to lose his interests and do good deeds, it will be difficult to make up his mind.

But what kind of bullshit merit does this damn ring of life need, doesn't this make it clear that forcing prostitutes is good? In this troubled world, there is no guarantee for a small life. Only strong strength is the right way to protect one's own life.

For the sake of your own life, let your subordinates do more good deeds! As for himself, "If there was no danger, I would have done a lot of good deeds!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Ling was innocent and not angry with himself, Zi relieved himself a little. It may be that Zhang Dagou's process of saving him from Scar Lao Wu's hands left a deep impression on her, and she involuntarily regarded Zhang Dagou as a hero and relative.

Zi tightly grasped the corner of Zhang Dagou's clothes, and that pitiful appearance made Xiao Lingtian can't help but sour his nose when he sees it. He didn't bother to hide his secret, he took out a can of beef directly from his storage space, opened it himself, and handed it to the child whose stomach was already rumbling.

Xiao Lingtian stretched out his hand and stroked Zizi's head, used his sleeve to clean her little face covered with mud, and said to her softly: "Son, look, you don't remember what your surname is, brother, my surname is Xiao, Xiao and Xiao have the same sound, it's better to call you Xiao Yanzi, okay." If you want, I will be your own brother from now on! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Lingtian thought of his unfortunate little sister who died early in the later life, and couldn't help but have tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
