Chapter 389: Chapter 24 Citizen Registration Office

“Here we are!”

Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi walked along the street for half a tea time, and a tall building appeared in front of them—the Citizen Registration Office.

This is where the Tianli Dynasty determines the tier of its citizens, and it is also the place for distributing and earning Merit Points. Before even approaching, they saw a long queue, spanning hundreds of meters.

Upon inquiry, they found out that these people had all earned some Merit Points and specifically came here to advance to Tier-5 Citizens.

Taking a closer look, there seemed to be a few familiar faces, the cultivators who had previously traveled with them via the Teleportation Formations, probably having bought houses and planning to settle down first before thinking about practicing or making a living.

Showing the tokens that represented their citizen identity, Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi walked directly into the hall.

“Isn’t that Zhang Xuanqing? How did he get in directly?”

“To enter and leave the Citizen Registration Office freely, one must have obtained citizenship. Could he have already acquired this status?”

“He’s really wealthy…”

This guy caused such a commotion, it was hard for people not to remember him. Zhang Xuan saw the familiar crowd, and naturally, the crowd also saw him, each filled with envy.

They had all agonized for a long time, traded all their treasures and resources to gather enough for a down payment on a house, yet this person not only bought one but also smoothly obtained citizenship, truly a case of ‘comparing people will drive one to death’.

Inside the hall, there was a surging crowd, chaotic like a marketplace.

Countless people stood before a huge tombstone, somewhat similar to the tombstones of the Wanxiang Sect, densely packed with words.

Zhang Xuan looked over, and it was basically tasks issued by the Tianli Dynasty that could earn Merit Points.

“Surround and eradicate the bandit [Yizhangqing], kill one Vice Village Chief of the Galaxy 7-dan, or slay 100 bandits, to earn one Merit Point…”

“Hunt the Iron Teeth Cold Eagle in the Ping Yuan Valley, a complete corpse to gain 3 Merit Points, its Source Pill, hooves, or fur to gain two points…”

“City Guard is recruiting, requires cultivation at or above Galaxy 6-dan to apply, pass the assessment, serve for three months, to earn one Merit Point! During the service period, food, and lodging are not provided, uniform, and weapons must be purchased at your own expense…”

“Pill Testing Assistant, test consumption of refined pills or formulas for free, share detailed feelings, death or madness from consumption is not under responsibility, test ten sets of herbs to earn one Merit Point!”

“Refining Magic Power Assistant, help refine magic power, purify Origin qi, starting from a hundred thousand paths, every refining of one hundred thousand paths can earn one Merit Point…”

…

The tombstone was densely packed with various methods to earn Merit Points, strange and unheard of.

“Lord Ren Fei is assembling a team to eradicate bandits, any volunteers? Don’t miss this chance, if successful, there’s a great opportunity to earn enough Merit Points!”

“Eradicating bandits is too dangerous, Lord Han Guang has discovered an ore mine, just follow us to mine ores, in half a year, easily earn one Merit Point, much better than working…”

“Follow me instead, selling blood can earn Merit Points, Galaxy 6-dan experts, just contribute one ton of fresh blood to earn one Merit Point, fair pricing, no deceiving the young or old!”

“Collecting fragments of the heavens, Seventh Level Destiny, each worth one Merit Point, grade-6, five points of Merit, if cleanly stripped, the price is even higher…”

…

As he continued to look, sounds of hawking started resonating around.

Here, there were not only legal ways to earn Merit Points of Tianli City but also the chaotic scalpers of the black market.

It was like the train stations of his previous life when there was no 12306, where scalpers were everywhere selling tickets at high prices…

Zhang Xuan was full of surprise.

The tasks recorded on the tombstone, such as refining magic power and testing pills, were quite shocking, let alone selling fragments of the heavens or blood, being so openly conducted…

And the prices were so low!

Seventh Level Destiny, which Elder Bai Ye has cultivated the Mo Dao Destiny for countless years to possess, can only exchange for one Merit Point…

Fortunately, Tianli City does not allow arbitrating killings, otherwise, murders for Destiny would surely happen frequently.

“Are you two new here? I am All-Knowing, I can help you choose suitable projects, ensure you are not deceived, each service for 10 Destiny Plates…”

Just then, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old servant, smiling warmly, came over.

Dressed in dirty and tattered clothes, covered with dust, he looked like a beggar from afar.

“We can choose ourselves, no need for help from others!”

Zhang Xuan didn’t expect such a profession and shook his head.

10 Destiny Plates are 100,000 paths of Heavenly Mandate Vitality. Previously, Lu Mingrong couldn’t gather that much even after spending so much money, and this guy wants that amount just for an explanation… No wonder everyone wants to come to Tianli City, even willing to spend all they have, earning money is indeed fast here.

Of course, while earning is high, so are the expenses. Without leaving Tianli City, the value won’t be evident no matter how much one earns.

“Don’t blindly choose by yourself, many tasks that look easy are actually traps, and some that seem difficult are actually very simple. Don’t worry, choosing me for 10 Destiny Plates will definitely not let you suffer any loss…”

Despite his words, All-Knowing remained unmoved, instead whispering in a lower voice.

“A trap? Name one, if there really is one, and it’s something I haven’t noticed before, I’ll hire you to help me choose without any problem. If what you say doesn’t satisfy me… forget it, I’ll choose myself!”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

“Deal!”

As if he had known he would say that, All-Knowing’s eyebrows raised, and he lowered his voice again: “Did you hear about Lord Ren Fei gathering people to fight against bandits just now?”

Zhang Xuan and Empyrean Kong shi looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

The person recruiting had a loud voice, not only they, but many others heard it too.

All-Knowing snorted lightly: “After they gather people, they say it’s to eradicate bandits, but in reality, they take them out and kill them, strip their destiny to exchange for Merit Points…”

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, his eyebrows furrowed: “Don’t talk nonsense here, such blatant murder for destiny, wouldn’t Tianli City intervene?”

Seeing that destiny could be sold for money, he had thought of this.

But Tianli City would surely prevent it, otherwise, if everyone were murdering for destiny, wouldn’t it be chaos?

“Of course, they do intervene, but since bandits are all outside the city, once they leave the city, how to manage? Just find a secluded place to kill them, and say they were killed by bandits… Do you think anyone can really investigate?”

All-Knowing smirked, looking at Zhang Xuan with a sympathetic gaze in his eyes.

He had never seen someone so naive.

Tianli City may seem safe, but in reality, crises are everywhere, countless people think they have reached the home of their dreams, but heaven and hell are just a thought away.

Zhang Xuan was at a loss for words.

If that’s true, it’s indeed possible.

Skilled cultivators have countless ways to kill without a trace, and without interest, they might kill; with such high stakes, even more so.
