Chapter 498: 4983rd-class merits are awarded standing up, 2nd-class merits are awarded lying down, 1

Chapter 498 498. The third-class merit is received standing up, the second-class merit is received lying down, the first-class merit is received by the family members, and the special-class merit…

“Achievements of the special merit level involve a lot of luck.”

Commander Kou was a little dissatisfied with Mo Hao’s modesty. “Modesty is a good thing, but being too modest is arrogance. How can a young man be so modest and prudent? Others have never seen such special merits in their lifetime. Show some pride as a young hero.”

The judgment of merit in this world is somewhat different. First-class merit and special-class merit are achievements that are recognized and recorded by the entire human society.

Second-class merit and below are contributions to a certain region or organization, while first-class merit and special-class merit are contributions to the entire human society.

According to rough calculations, a first-class merit is an achievement that plays a major role in an incident involving the safety of a city and the lives of millions of people there.

As for the special merit…

Killing the Beast King is one thing, exterminating the intelligent wild beasts that are hostile to humans is another, and also resolving the crisis of the outbreak of the high-level Taixu realm and opening up a living territory for humans.

In short, these are tasks that require countless resources and may not necessarily succeed.

Even this type of task will be regarded as a joke by others if it is taken out, as no one will even consider how to complete it.

The first-class merit is usually awarded to family members.

Special Merit…

The recipients of first-class merit and special merit will be recorded in the files, and no matter which country or region they go to in the future, as long as they are not hostile, they will be treated with courtesy.

According to Mo Hao’s understanding, the reputation in the area with human influence should at least start from [Respect].

“Okay, Old Kou, stop teaching your young men a lesson. Mo Hao hasn’t agreed to join your Eighth Army yet.”

The Chief of Staff of the Fourth Army said, “Mo Hao, this time it’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, the birth of another Beast King would definitely not be a good thing for humans, and the living space of humans would be compressed again.”

No one could have imagined that the Sky Serpent King, the Behemoth King, and the Ten Disaster Kings had secretly joined forces, and that the human intelligence network had not made any movement at all.

If Mo Hao had not fought desperately to kill the Thunder Lion King this time, the four beast kings would most likely have formed an alliance, a terrifying force against humans.

Once this alliance is formed, humanity will face a huge threat and its living space will be further squeezed.

Fortunately, Mo Hao killed the Thunder Lion King, causing the three beast kings’ alliance to fail and the alliance was no longer unbreakable.

“This time, the three of us owe you a big favor. If you need anything in the future, you can tell us.”

Three powerful Taixu warriors were sent out, but the Beast King was not killed and instead formed an alliance with three other Beast Kings. If things continue to develop in this way, humanity’s development and warfare will be greatly constrained in the next few decades, and the three of them cannot escape blame.

At this time, the principal of Baidao Qianfa Wanshu also spoke up, “I heard that you, Mo Hao, need some special materials. I have prepared some of Baidao Qianfa Wanshu’s unique materials and sent them to you.”

After a pause, he continued, “After discussion, the Hundred Thousand Methods and Ten Thousand Arts have granted Mo Hao’s team the permission to enter the [Immortal Spirit Cave Heaven]. Of course, this is just a way for the Hundred Thousand Methods and Ten Thousand Arts to express their gratitude to Mo Hao for saving our students. We will always remember the merit and favor of killing the Beast King.”

What he meant was that this batch of materials and entry into the [Xianling Cave Heaven] did not count as a favor from the principal, and Mo Hao could still make requests to him.

When they heard the word “Xianling Cave Heaven”, both Commander Kou and the Chief of Staff were moved.

[Xianling Cave Heaven] is the most important place among hundreds of thousands of magics and techniques, there is not even [one of them].

It stores many skills, magical powers, unique career paths, magic weapons, elixirs, natural treasures, and even the cultivation records of predecessors. The interior of [Xianling Cave Heaven] is constantly changing, and the scenery you see is different every time you enter. Those who enter can find the most suitable cultivation method, magic weapons, and elixirs for themselves.

At the same time, there is an extremely high-energy environment inside the [Xianling Cave Heaven]. In other words, it is full of spiritual energy. Just being in it normally has the effect of not being able to go down to take elixirs.

The success rate of breakthroughs in that environment skyrockets.

Among the hundreds of thousands of methods and techniques to enter the [Fairy Cave Heaven], ordinary people cannot enter unless they have great merits. Even if they have the corresponding merits, they can only enter once.

Only the principal can enter three times. Once is when he takes office as principal, and the previous principal will bring him in to take inventory and make handover.

One time, the principal felt that a breakthrough was in sight, and he used the power of [Xianling Cave Heaven] to break through the level.

The last time is when he steps down and brings the next principal in to hand over the work.

It is no exaggeration to say that [Xianling Cave Heaven] is the foundation of hundreds of thousands of methods and arts. As long as [Xianling Cave Heaven] is safe, even if hundreds of thousands of methods and arts are destroyed, they can be rebuilt in a short time.

In history, the predecessor of Baidao Qianfa Wanshu has been destroyed twice. It is the third force established with the help of [Xianling Cave Heaven].

After they finished speaking, the three of them left one after another. They still had many troubles to deal with. Although the Thunder Beast King was dead, it did not mean that they would be relieved.

The remaining tides of wild beasts and the intelligent wild beast species must be eliminated. It is unlikely to completely eliminate all the wild beasts, so we can only reduce the number of wild beasts around Numoe Castle to within the safety line.

Humans need a stable battlefield to train soldiers. At the same time, some wild beast races are not very strong, but they are too fertile, making it impossible to clean them up.

Before their numbers increased, they were not a formidable opponent for the soldiers, but they were still extremely lethal to civilians.

In addition, without the existence of the Beast King, the threat of the wild beasts was greatly reduced. Commander Kou began to consider using these wild beasts to train the troops that came to support him.

New recruits who have been on the battlefield and seen blood are qualified fighters and high-quality veterans.

One bloody battle is more effective than training a hundred times.

……

After the three of them left, Mo Hao was thinking about when to take his team members to the [Fairy Cave] to improve their strength.

Mo Hao’s own strength is far from reaching a bottleneck, and he does not need a breakthrough other than fighting.

In other words, even if it is a breakthrough other than fighting, he has various other means, so he doesn’t value [Fairy Cave Heaven] that much.

After several months of crazy slaughter, the members of [Taiwei Beichen], Su Zhilan, Zhang Xueqing, and Murong Haitang, have all reached the [Dayuan] level and are steadily improving.

The strongest Su Zhilan even vaguely touched the edge of the [Holy Land].

The act of hunting wild beasts is, to some extent, similar to Mo Hao’s [Heavenly Demonic Art]. Humans and wild beasts regard each other as panaceas.

As long as the quality of the supplements is high enough and the quantity is sufficient, the strength level will jump three levels directly.
