Chapter 4 Merit Value

The golden morning light shines through the crystal dome, illuminating the hall.

In the hall, figures of mortal waiters walked through it.

Apprentices wearing robes of various colors sat in groups at the table, whispering the latest interesting stories.

At this time, Yihua was sitting in a wide-eyed position. A brunette woman in a maid outfit and looked pretty, walked up to Yihua and put down the plate in her hand.

"Sir Wizard, your order is ready, I wish you a happy meal."

The brunette woman showed a flattering smile at Yihua.

"Um."

Still thinking about how to collect merits and solve the curse, Yihua said casually.

Seeing that Yihua had no intention of tipping her, the brunette had to slowly retreat, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

The brunette woman is naturally not a wizard apprentice, but a mortal servant recruited by the academy from outside, and belongs to the private property of the academy.

Even if you are killed by an apprentice, you will at most compensate the academy for some witch crystals.

Although the mortal servants have a low status, they have maintained the operation of the college's infrastructure, which is a crucial part of the college.

When the college replenishes supplies every year, it will supplement a batch to fill the gaps.

Seeing the delicious food on the plate, Yihua, who had been hungry for a day, could no longer hold back and feasted.

A tender and juicy slow-grilled steak with burnt and crispy white bread, a sweet and sour tomato beef soup, and a mellow latte.

After a meal, I spent a full crystal coin, and there was nothing wrong with it except expensive.

Actually, this is the cheapest package here.

The crystal coins are ground by cutting the scraps of witch crystals. One witch crystal is almost equivalent to a hundred crystal coins, and one crystal coin is equivalent to a hundred gold coins in the mortal kingdom.

Generally, it can only be exchanged downwards, and gold coins cannot be exchanged upwards for crystal coins or witch crystals.

With the ability of an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice, you can earn about two or three hundred crystal coins a year when you take on tasks in the academy, which is equivalent to two or three witch crystals.

Most lower apprentices buy mortal servants to cook for themselves or at markets. Only apprentices with more generous hands come to the college cafeteria.

Being generous means strength and background.

Yihua came to the cafeteria and planned to obtain the latest news from the academy from these apprentices.

On the surface, Yihua was enjoying the food on the table, but in fact he was pricking up his ears and listening carefully to other people's conversations.

"Cousin, I was just promoted to second-class apprentice yesterday. There should be no problem with the apprenticeship exam in half a year. How long will it take for you to be second-class?"

A second-class apprentice wearing a hematite badge asked casually, and inserted it into the dining plate and rolled it around and tried to escape, and sent it into your mouth to chew it.

Along with chewing, a sour "pop" sound sounded.

"Oh, I just engraved all the runes needed for the second-class apprentice a few days ago. I might be able to advance to the second-class before the exam."

The female apprentice with short brown hair across the table picked up the black tea, frowned, and asked:

"Cousin, where is the real Nine Ring White Tower? Are there official wizards there?"

Hearing the brunette female apprentice asks a question, the second-class apprentice touched his nose and smiled and showed off:

"Of course, it is said that the tower master of the real Nine-ring White Tower on the continent is a powerful necromancer who controls millions of necromancers and can destroy the entire Star Tree Islands with his own strength."

Although the Star Tree Islands are called archipelagos, their area is comparable to the Eurasian continent in their previous lives.

Hearing this, the brunette female apprentice was shocked and her mouth almost opened into an O-shaped shape. After reacting to this indecent move, she hurriedly covered her mouth and a new doubt arose.

"Then why does the college require second-class apprentices to go?"

The second-class apprentice seemed to be not very clear about this, scratched her scalp, frowned and guessed:

"Maybe it is used to screen qualifications? Apprentices who fail the exam will become slaves to the academy. A small number of apprentices who have made up their qualifications or survived by chance may be able to get a job in the academy in the future..."

Accompanied by the noise of conversation around him, Yihua occasionally glanced at the apprentices around him with his eyes, trying to find the apprentices in need.

From Yihua's perspective, each apprentice is covered with a halo of different colors.

According to the information poured in when awakening superpowers, the higher the karma level the helper is, the more critical the situation is, the higher the merits you gain.

The karma level can be detected through color, and the white "neutral kindness" is higher than the gray "neutral evil".

The heavier the white halo, the higher its merit, and the heavier the gray halo, the lower its merit.

At first glance, all I saw was gray and white.

Yihua picked out three apprentices with the strongest white halo, and was hesitating whether to come forward to catch up with him, but unexpectedly he became surprised-

“Ah~”

On the table opposite, the blonde young apprentice who was joking with his friend suddenly let out a moan, fell to the ground with a hideous face, and struggled constantly on the ground.

The originally neat hairstyle was disrupted, and the white robes were covered with stains.

Several apprentices with good relationships tried to step forward and help them up, but were knocked to the ground by the struggling hands and feet of the blonde young apprentice.

After a moment, the blonde young apprentice stopped struggling, his face turned red, and his hands desperately strangled his neck.

"Vomit~"

A ball of black, wriggling iron nematodes gushed out of his mouth excitedly.

"Ah! It's a curse!"

Seeing this, several companions on the side were so scared that they fell to the ground, but they didn't care about getting up and rolling and crawling to escape, fearing that they would be affected by this terrifying curse.

The iron nematode crawled out of the blonde youth's mouth did not stop, but scattered and rushed towards the apprentice around him excitedly.

The apprentices were in a hurry for a moment, using witchcraft to resist the attacks of ironworms with bare hands or by using witchcraft.

Fortunately, the Iron Nematode is only at the level of a mortal. Facing an apprentice with at least a knight-level physique, it was wiped out in a short while.

In place, the cursed apprentice was left with only a wilted human skin. It seemed that all the organs of the human body were filled with iron worms that were parasitic in it.

Several mortal servants in black robes came to clean up and cleaned up the wilted human skin and the remains of iron nematodes everywhere. After a moment, there was no sign of a curse that had erupted here before.

"I don't know who this unlucky guy offended, but he actually got into such a terrifying curse."

This phenomenon basically happens every few days, and apprentices are no longer surprised by it.

There were even several psychologically distorted apprentices in the distance. Seeing this situation, they greatly increased their appetite and watched the black iron nematodes fuck two bowls of rice.

Seeing the tragic situation in front of you, Yihua couldn't help but shivered.

Recalling the curse, a sense of crisis and urgency that may erupt at any time, arises naturally.

A terrifying curse that cannot be guarded against, an incomprehensible strange phenomenon...

This world is a hundred and a thousand times more dangerous than the earth.

"Hiss, I'm injured, who can help me?"

A red-haired girl apprentice wearing a slim robe with beautiful face and freckles on both sides of her cheeks endured the severe pain and shouted for help.

She was one of the three apprentices with the strongest white halo. She happened to pass by the curse explosion and failed to avoid it in time, so the iron nematode almost got into her arm.

Scarlet blood gushed out from her white forearm, looking extremely abrupt.

Yihua showed joy when he saw this, but he did not have other ideas, but—

"There is a chance to obtain merit!"

Most of the apprentices around them glanced at them with cold eyes, and saw that the female apprentice did not ask for compensation, they ignored them.

A few went forward and hesitated for a moment, but finally dispersed.

Perhaps out of reason, or perhaps just cold-blooded, the qualities of the two great wizards are fully reflected in these apprentices.

Yihua, who was about to compete for some time, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, strode forward, and spoke to the red-haired female apprentice wearing an iron badge:

"I happened to learn healing witchcraft. If you don't mind, I will treat you."
