Chapter 52: Random Gift Boxes ( 2 )

Chapter 52: Random Gift Boxes ( 2 ) Bombarded by Yao Zhi’s questions, the System replied mechanically, "The merit points can be obtained by doing good deeds. The points issued will depend on how many people the Host saved by doing the good deeds."

Yao Zhi nodded and asked again, "System, what is the function of this merit point?"


After she said this, another blue screen appeared in front of her. The UI was similar to the system shop, but the items sold inside were something she had never seen before.


"The merit points can be used to buy things from the merit shop."

She browsed the merit shop for a while and noticed that the variety of items sold in this shop was a hundred times more than in the system shop.


The items were so random. From a piece of fabric, weapons, medicines, and even martial arts techniques. She even saw a pill priced for 1,000,000 merit points.


She read the information and was stunned when she learned that this pill could be used to revive the dead, cure all illnesses and poisons, and prolong lifespan.


Yao Zhi glanced at the upper right corner and saw that she currently owned 250,000 merit points.


She didn’t know what good deed she did to earn so many merit points. So, she decided to ask, "System, how did I get these merit points? I didn’t remember I did any good deed."


"Based on the system calculation, the Host’s action of exchanging grains for treasures saved a total of 244,890 lives. The merit points were given based on the importance of the life that the Host saved."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi finally understood.


Without the grains she exchanged for treasures, the White Tiger army might have faced total annihilation. Not only the General and the soldiers fighting on the border, but the common people also wouldn’t be able to survive if the barbarians broke into the town and city.


Although she didn’t need to buy anything from the merit shop yet, it didn’t hurt to get more things. Reaching this conclusion, Yao Zhi’s mood improved, and she asked, "System, do I need to pay to open these gift boxes?"


"There is no need for the Host to pay to open the reward."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi finally relaxed. As long as the system didn’t ask her to pay, she was happy to open the blind gift boxes.


She tapped on the first gift box. After the box shook for a moment, the lid opened, and she received 500 drops of spiritual spring water and a movable well.


Looking at the movable well, she was confused. She clicked on the item and read the information. This well was actually connected to the river in her spatial farmland and could be placed or removed anytime and anywhere.


Reading this, her eyes lit up.


With this well, she didn’t have to worry about not being able to find a water source if she needed to move out of this place one day. She stored the well in her system’s storage and put the spiritual spring water into her jade bottle.


Then, she tapped on the second gift box. This time, she received ten talismans that could boost the speed of the crops’ maturing. One talisman could be used for the entire farmland and orchard. The effect of the talisman would last for three days.


Although the reward was not as good as the first gift box, Yao Zhi was still delighted. No one knows what the future holds.


What if she needed a large amount of grain one day? These talismans would come in handy.


After she stored the talismans in her system’s storage, she finally tapped on the last gift box.


Unlike the previous gift boxes, the reward she received from this gift box was a small hidden crossbow and a set of soft golden armor. She checked the rewards’ information, and her eyes lit up instantly.


The small, hidden crossbow was used on the arm, and the arrow was transparent. The best part was that the arrow was unlimited and had an automatic aiming function with almost one hundred percent accuracy.


The soft golden armor had all parts that covered not only the body but also the limbs, neck, and even the private area. The armor could withstand even bullets and was made from an unknown material that was thin, light, and breathable.


When she read this part, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but thank the system. If she wore this set, unless her head was blasted, she wouldn’t die. This item increased her survival rate in this era by several folds.


After she was done checking the gift boxes, she stored everything in her system’s storage and took out the firewood from the stove, leaving only some embers.


Yao Zhi poured the boiling water into the drinking water vat to cool down before she carried a pot of porridge back to her room.


The moment she closed the door, she took out the hidden bow and soft golden armor. She took off her clothes and put on the soft armor first before she put on her clothes.


She patted her body and noticed that even wearing extra armor, she didn’t seem bulky at all. She moved around and felt as light as if she were not wearing the armor.


Satisfied with the armor, she wore the hidden crossbow. She thought that the crossbow would be bulky and easy to spot. But the moment she fastened the belt, she saw the hidden crossbow glow for a moment before it turned transparent.


If she didn’t know that there was a crossbow there, she would think that she wore nothing on her wrist. Reaching out, she touched her left wrist and felt the shape of the hidden crossbow.


"No wonder it’s called a hidden crossbow. With this kind of function, who will know that I have this on my wrist?" she muttered with a smile.


When she was done, she finally started having her breakfast. The millet porridge was delicious but she still took out some meat jerky from her system’s storage as a side dish.
