Chapter 56: Merit Exchange
Just now at the banquet, he heard the system news that the merit exchange was open, but unfortunately he was unable to get away at that time.
It was really because the county officials were too enthusiastic, and it was definitely not because he was greedy for the body of the dancing girl.
Well, absolutely not.
Guo Hao was not in a hurry at all. He had the most merits in the camp of this large-scale event, and with a large number of merits in his hands, he was not afraid at all that other players would get ahead of him.
"Ding! The Chinese Civilization event is over. The Imperial Court has won. All players who chose the Imperial Court will receive a random green reward *1."
"Ding! Congratulations on getting 1,356,987 Merits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion event. You can use your Merits to redeem corresponding rewards."
"Ding! Congratulations on ranking first on the Imperial Faction Merit Ranking List. You will receive a random blue reward *1."
"Ding! The Merit Exchange Store is now open!"
A series of system messages came, and Guo Hao calmly opened the ranking list and took a look.
"The Imperial Court Camp, first place: Guo Pengju of Liangzhou, 1,356,987 Merits"
"The second place in the imperial camp is Yingchuan Sima Bozhong, with 125,436 merits."
"The third place in the imperial camp is Liu Shaocai of Yizhou, with 105,987 merits."
…
Guo Hao's merit of more than one million is ten times that of the second place. Such a gap makes every player who sees it feel incredible.
If the players of each imperial camp did not fight for several days in the siege, coupled with some small auxiliary tasks, they would not even be able to get any merit.
As a result, the person at the top of the list had more merit points than them. They simply couldn't accept it, but when they thought that Zhang Jue was killed by Guo Hao, they found it reasonable.
After all, on the battlefield, Zhang Jue's extraordinary fighting power conquered every player.
Well, he didn’t know anyone from the imperial camp except Li Changsheng. However, it was somewhat beyond his expectation that Li Changsheng was ranked fifth.
The first in the Yellow Turban camp was Zhang Hao, whom he had met before, and the second was Li Cai, who had betrayed him once. Other than that, he didn’t recognize any of the other players.
However, Guo Hao still carefully memorized all the names that appeared on the list. After all, since Zhang Hao could come up with so many good things, he estimated that the others would not be bad either.
Guo Hao opened the merit exchange shop and found that there were a lot of good things in it. Even with his more than one million merits, he couldn't buy them all. He could only exchange for a tiny amount of things.
Recruitment orders, equipment, treasures, architectural drawings, food, materials, elixirs...
Even official positions in the imperial court can be exchanged. Guo Hao even saw that the position of emperor can be exchanged in the exchange list.
When I clicked on it, I saw that the merit required 100 million.
Well... it seems like fighting the Yellow Turban Rebellion about a hundred times would be enough.
Guo Hao checked the official positions that could be exchanged and found that based on his merits, it was more than enough to exchange for a Nine Ministers position.
However, the Nine Ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty all knew that the Nine Ministers without military power had no say at all. When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers were all useless.
However, if you want to survive in the Eastern Han Dynasty and recruit famous generals, you must have this status. At the very least you have to be a governor of a province or a county magistrate. Otherwise, why would famous generals follow you?
However, because the imperial court would reward him later, Guo Hao was not in a hurry to exchange his official position. After all, who would be willing to spend money when they could get it for free?
Besides, his boss Dong Zhuo was not dead, and he could not defeat Dong Zhuo even if he took the position of Governor of Liang Province. There was no need for him to jump out and be the first to speak out.
Besides, even if someone exchanged for the position of Xuzhou Mu, could he still drive Tao Qian out of Xuzhou?
Who knows how Tao Qian will kill him. He is fighting at home and he may not even need to do anything himself to kill a stranger.
Giving up the tempting idea of exchanging for an official position, Guo Hao carefully screened among other rewards that could be exchanged.
[White quality historical figure recruitment order: 5000 military merits required, upper limit 5]
[Green quality historical figure recruitment order: required military merit 10,000, upper limit 5]
[Blue quality historical figure recruitment order: required military merit 20,000, upper limit 5]
[Random Historical Figure Recruitment Order: Required Military Merit 50,000, Maximum 5]
Guo Hao hesitated over the recruitment order, feeling a little confused. The directional recruitment order disappeared at the blue quality. Guo Hao made a rough calculation and found that it was about the level of historical figures like Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.
The purple one should correspond to the Five Elite Generals, and the gold one should correspond to Lu Bu.
I just don’t know what kind of qualities big guys like Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Xiang Yu have.
It is true that Lu Bu is very powerful, but if you compare Lu Bu with big guys like Bai Qi and Han Xin, he seems to be not in the same league.
The random recruitment order should be able to recruit some high-quality historical figures, but the word "random" seems to be full of traps. Don't just randomly select a white quality.
Guo Hao muttered to himself, but still bought them all. After all, it was only 400,000 merits, which was no big deal.
There is no need to rush to use it. Just throw it into your backpack, find an auspicious day, take a bath and burn incense before opening it.
You may not believe in metaphysics, but you should still respect it.
As Guo Hao browsed, he threw more and more things into his backpack.
And there are so many varieties, including bamboo seeds and potato seeds, it's simply magical.
It feels like the merit exchange store is a game system specifically designed to speed up the historical process. Even firearms appear, but Guo Hao tried it.
In addition to being easy to carry, the power of the musket is not even a fraction of that of a bow and arrow, and it was easily blocked by armor, which is a shame for hot weapons.
Suddenly Guo Hao was stunned. He actually saw some strange things in the treasure exchange column.
[Nine Cauldrons Production Drawings], [Great Wall Production Drawings], [Imperial Seal Production Drawings], [Sphinx Production Drawings]...
Guo Hao flipped through it and found that it contained mostly drawings of the production of ancient and modern wonders from both China and abroad, including the Nine Cauldrons from the East, Noah's Ark from the West, and even some mythological things.
However, the starting price of 10 million merits successfully dissuaded Guo Hao from buying it, and he also selected the cheapest [Sky Garden Abridged Version Production Blueprint] from them.
Just this blueprint cost Guo Hao nearly 300,000 merit points. For a while, Guo Hao's merit points were not enough.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and exchanged for a batch of building blueprints and soldiers' equipment. Guo Hao exchanged all the remaining merits for food.
After using up all his military merits, Guo Hao finally gave up.
After using up all his merits, Guo Hao was still not satisfied with his shopping spree, so he took out the recruitment order.
Guo Hao threw away the idea of finding an auspicious day, and like a gambler who had lost his mind to gambling, he opened five green-quality recruitment orders in a row.
"Ding! Consume 5 green character recruitment orders and you will receive five historical figures."
