Chapter 12: Exploration

Ding Hao was eating the buffet, while thinking about the puzzled questions in his heart, there was no food on the plate and he went to get it, and unconsciously filled his stomach, but the doubts in his heart were still difficult to solve.

This is a question that can be answered by guessing out of thin air without being tested in practice, but it takes a little bit of exploration to know whether this merit will be achieved by doing bad things and creating disasters on its own, and then solving it will be meritorious. And after the merit is reversed, will the skills you activate be sealed again?

These questions have always made it difficult for Ding Hao to get answers, so he needs more merit to test his guesses and get answers to his questions.

"Get some sleep first, and then start tomorrow, accumulate merit, do a little bit of bad things, and test all kinds of possibilities. According to speculation, the paladin is a believer in the goddess of life in the game, not only has the eight virtues of knights, but also needs to believe in the goddess of life. But I seem to be a mutated ......" Ding Hao lay on the bed, thinking about these questions, and gradually fell asleep.

But he only slept for three hours, and just after the dawn, Ding Hao woke up. It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, it's that he can't sleep. It seems that after the fortification, the amount of sleep required per day is also reduced.

As soon as the day dawned, Ding Hao got up, and then walked to the street, he was going to get something today, after all, he now has the capital to rise, so he needs a set of his own uniform. And he also needs a knight's greatsword and, apparently, a mount. He's going to get some of these things done during the day today, and the mount is probably the hardest.

After all, whether it is a knight's armor or a knight's sword, it is still very easy to make it as a craft, but it is not so easy to find a good mount. Even if it's a horse, it needs a place to keep it. The Paladin's mount can't be a motorcycle or something, not only because it's incongruous and funny, but also because the Paladin's profession is destined to use living things as mounts.

"The knight's armor and knight's sword can be ordered at the factory, but they will leave traces, and I am afraid they will be found in the future. Then you can only go through underground channels, but fortunately, there were channels on the Hong Gang before, and the predecessor is still remembered. It's good to contact the underground black market directly, anyway, the underground black market only recognizes money and not people. Ding Hao thought about it and headed towards Chinatown.

Because the Hong Gang is a Chinese gang, the stronghold is of course in Chinatown, where Chinese gather, and the stronghold of the black market is also in Chinatown, after all, the Hong Gang is a big customer. So Ding Hao came to Chinatown to order equipment, paid the deposit, and the cash on him was almost spent, but it didn't matter, he should have money for today's experiment, and even he would not be short of money in the future.

After dressing up in disguise and ordering equipment at a stronghold on the underground black market, Ding Hao walked out of Chinatown, and he was ready to start experimenting with his conjecture: the first test was whether doing good deeds would have merit. This is the conclusion he came to according to the most normal way of thinking, after all, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is known to the Chinese.

Therefore, in order to test this one, Ding Hao became a five-good young man who helped his grandmother cross the road, helped people push carts, picked up garbage and threw it into the trash can, and worked like this for two or three hours. As a result, I checked the talent page, and the merit increased by 0.1 points, and the activation of the next skill changed from 3 to 3.1.

"This kind of thing is too slow to earn merit, even if you don't eat, drink or sleep a day, only one or two points of merit will come in, and it is completely undesirable." Ding Hao removed this one possibility. Then start experimenting with the next one: whether doing bad deeds will deduct merit!

In order to verify this, Ding Hao began to do what he thought was bad, petty theft should be the most common bad thing, so he aimed at a young man in jeans, this guy carried a mobile phone in the pocket behind his butt, and half of the mobile phone was leaking outside, which gave Ding Hao the opportunity to experiment.

He ran directly and quickly, and then passed by the young man, and ran directly like a gust of wind, but at the moment when the two passed by, Ding Hao stole the mobile phone directly from behind his buttocks, which is a skill possessed by the predecessor, and he can still use it after taking over.

In the process of running, while looking at the talent page, the 0.1 that was added just now was directly consumed. This result is in line with Ding Hao's speculation, because since such an act as picking up garbage can gain merit, then of course there will be sins in doing bad things, and sins will dissolve one's own merits.

The previous body was both merit and sin, on the one hand, because he fought against those gang members, so that some of them would not be evil, and accumulated some, although he was a gang fight and was not in the psychology of doing good deeds, but it was undeniable that a good result was achieved. And because he once oppressed the good, he also had sins.

This is an ordinary person, the merit and sin on the body are together, but after Ding Hao crossed over, he activated the paladin talent tree, and it seems that merit and sin began to cancel each other, and the merit of the predecessor is greater than the sins, and on the whole he can still be regarded as a good person. Not really the kind of bastard who does all kinds of evil.

But Ding Hao still has a doubt in his heart: the accumulation and consumption of this merit is judged according to the universal values of human beings, and it belongs to the judgment of the popular type. But according to universal values, murder is the greatest sin, and why paladins can be promoted by striking against those who bear sin. I killed dozens of people yesterday, although they were all members of the Little Japan Black Dragon Society.

Isn't there something wrong with killing people like this? The doubts in Ding Hao's heart are still not solved, this question will not be known until one day when he understands it himself, this is not actually a mistake in judgment, but because there is a limit to how much he can punish those who bear sins, how much a person will be punished.

And those people of the Little Japanese Black Dragon Society, each of them has a human life in their hands, they have killed people, and their punishment can reach the highest in terms of sins: death punishment.

If the sins of the sinners punished by Ding Hao are not enough for him to accept the punishment of death, if Ding Hao kills them, it will cause Ding Hao to gain his own sin, so that not only will he have no merit, but he will also have sin. Let his own original merits be deducted upside down, and even the activated skills cannot be used because of insufficient merits.

Of course, Ding Hao hasn't figured all this out yet, he just knows that no matter how big or small a good deed is, there will be merit, but it will be accumulated, gathered into a tower, and gathered into a fur. And if you do bad things, you will be guilty, and even if you make up for it afterwards, it will not make up for the merit that has been consumed. Because after he returned the phone, the merit did not come back.
