Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493: All are Exchangeable

"It’s that person who used to come to the Golden Bead Space often, Sui Zimo, how many merit points does he have now?" she asked.

"That person’s merit points are higher than yours," Caique directly replied to her.

Lin Caisang: "..."

She had saved so many people...Alright, she charged them, especially those with high status and power; each one of them thought that if she didn’t make a huge profit, she must be trying to kill them!

But she had taught people as well, like her own brother, and then there was Lin Chushui and the others, all of whom had developed better and better under her influence.

How could Brother Molian’s merit points be higher than hers?

"Explain yourself, why are his merit points higher than mine?!"

"Because he has done more good deeds than you!" Caique replied innocently.

"But he has killed more people than I...no, wait, I haven’t killed anyone, but he has, and a lot of them!" Lin Caisang said.

Although she knew it was not the time to be concerned about that, her heart was truly unbalanced at the moment!

She couldn’t argue with her Brother Molian, but couldn’t she argue with Caique before her, and also pass the time to alleviate boredom?

"But, the merit points have nothing to do with how many you kill," Caique’s voice became even more innocent.

Lin Caisang: "!"

Now she understood, they only count the merits, not the wrongs.

"Moreover, that person cooks for you every day and does the house chores, all of which can earn gratitude values, which he obtains from you."

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Caique continue and then added one more sentence at the end.

"What do you mean ’obtains from me’?" Lin Caisang asked.

All the other points were easy to understand; by doing things for someone, one could earn merit points, including cooking and cleaning—nothing confusing about that.

But what did they mean by obtaining from her? Was it necessary to even say that?

"It means he’s been taking care of you, and then some of your merit points were allocated to him. Is that so difficult to comprehend?" Caique explained.

Lin Caisang: "???"

Why was there such a setting?

If points were allocated from her to Sui Zimo, it wasn’t entirely unacceptable, but wasn’t that a bit too... bullying her?

"So my merit points are deplorably low?" she asked, annoyed.

"That’s not the case," Caique quickly shook its head.

"Actually, merit points aren’t really that useful to you as the master; they’re just for exchanging for skill books."

And as the Golden Bead Space leveled up, the master would naturally know these skills, so there would be no need to exchange for them.

By that calibration, merit points really weren’t of much use to the master.

"Oh, right, every time the master wants to bring someone in to connect the meridians, it still requires some merit points. But regardless of whether the person you bring in stays for just a moment or for a whole year, the same number of merit points is needed, just for entering once,"

it added in explanation.

"Oh."

Lin Caisang nodded, now enlightened.

With that explanation, she was clear on the matter.

"What kind of skill books can be exchanged with merit points?" she asked.

"There’s plenty,"

Caique fluttered its wings and flew onto Lin Caisang’s shoulder where it settled.

"There’s mechanism art, martial arts, divination, medical texts, poison manuals, cultivation techniques, animal husbandry, and so on. Basically, whatever kind of book you want, you can exchange for it. It’ll depend on what the master needs at the time."

it said.
