You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 407 Ranking of Merits

The first floor of the Hall of Merit is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

In the center of the first floor, there was a huge light screen, but it was empty; there was nothing on it.

They didn't stay on the first floor, but went straight to my fourth floor, where there were many shelves.

Now, there's practically nothing on the shelves, just some not-so-precious medicinal herbs and rare treasures.

The array master from Xianyang was named Li You, and he was a low-level array master.

Li You took out a large amount of resources from the storage ring on his hand and handed them over to Ying Hao and the others.

After receiving the resources, Ying Hao and the others placed them on different shelves according to their value.

Li You then set up formations for each resource, with higher-grade resources requiring higher-level formations.

This cannot be arranged in a short time.

It took five days just to set up these formations.

Those Yellow-rank and Black-rank formations are easy to set up; Li You's strength allows him to do so with ease.

However, some of these resources are very precious, so a level-one formation must be set up.

These past five days have mostly been spent setting up Earth-rank formations.

After all the formations were set up, Li You's face had turned extremely pale.

In the past five days, he has had time to rest and recover his spiritual power.

However, setting up an array consumes not only spiritual power, but also a terrifying amount of spiritual power.

"Mr. Li, are you alright?"

Seeing Li You's appearance, Ying Hao couldn't help but worry.

"It's alright! It just took a lot of energy!"

Li You waved his hand and said.

“General Ying, these formations have been set up. The only way to retrieve the resources immediately is by force or by holding a special token.”

As he spoke, Li You took out two tokens and handed them to Ying Hao: "These two tokens, one is for you, General Ying, and the other is for General Murong. Each of you should take one, so that if you're not there, you won't be unable to open the formation..."

Ying Hao took the token and put it into his storage ring, planning to send Murong Haoxuan the token later.

"With these resource issues resolved, the next step is the issue of merit points..."

Li You nodded and said.

"Then, he took out another type of token from his storage ring..."

He then said to Ying Hao, "This is a plaque specifically used to record merits. Every soldier will have one. Later, Xianyang will send someone to record the merits each soldier has..."

Ying Hao took the sign and began to look at it.

The token had an extremely smooth surface, but he couldn't see anything special about it.

"Mr. Li..."

Just as Ying Hao was about to ask something, Li You guessed what he wanted to ask, smiled slightly, and said, "General Ying, drip a drop of your essence blood on it..."

Although Ying Hao was puzzled after hearing this, he still used his spiritual power to force out a drop of blood essence from his fingertip and dripped it onto the token...

Buzz~~

As the essence blood fell onto the token, it was quickly absorbed by the token.

Ying Hao also felt as if he had established some kind of connection with this token.

Then, some text appeared on the token.

Name: Ying Hao

Strength: Peak Nascent Soul Stage

Merit Points: 0

Ying Hao stared at this scene in astonishment, then looked at Li You.

Li You smiled slightly and said, "This is the latest product developed by Yuan, the Director of the Imperial Observatory. It's already a magical artifact. Each token can only be bound to one person, and it records your merit points. There's absolutely no possibility of forgery..."

"Furthermore, even if the medal is lost, and someone else finds it but can't use it, you can summon it back at any time..."

"This medal of honor now belongs to General Ying..."

"The remaining tokens are currently being manufactured urgently by the Imperial Observatory, and should be completed soon..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Hao was surprised and looked at the token in his hand with great delight.

"Alright, everything is ready now. We just need to wait for the people from Xianyang to arrive before the Hall of Merit can begin operations..."

After Li You finished speaking, he left. He urgently needed to rest to recover his depleted spiritual energy.

After Ying Hao left with his men, the Hall of Merit was temporarily closed, and the defensive array that had just been set up was activated.

Inside Murong Haoxuan's tent.

"How is the situation at the Hall of Merit?"

Murong Haoxuan looked at Ying Hao, who walked in from outside, with a smile on his face and asked.

"Everything is almost ready; we just need to wait for the merit plaques to arrive from Xianyang before we can activate them..."

Afterwards, Ying Hao recounted the events at the Hall of Merit to Murong Haoxuan.

Murong Haoxuan nodded in satisfaction after hearing this and said, "I trust you to handle things. Well, you've been busy for several days now, go and take a rest!"

"General, this is your token. You can use this token to activate any formation in the Hall of Merit..."

Ying Hao took out the token belonging to Murong Haoxuan and handed it to him.

Murong Haoxuan took the token, glanced at it, and then put it into his storage ring.

"Okay, I understand..."

"This humble general takes his leave..."

After bowing respectfully to Murong Haoxuan, Ying Hao left Murong Haoxuan's tent and returned to his own residence.

A few days later, people sent by Xianyang to deliver the medals of honor arrived.

There are over a million medals to be distributed to each soldier, which is a huge task in itself.

After each soldier received a medal, the light screen on the first floor of the Hall of Merit lit up.

Names appeared one by one, followed by merit points.

However, nowadays, everyone above has 0 merit points.

This was proposed by Ying Chen. Every month, the merit points of the people in each army will be ranked. If they are on the list, they will receive special rewards. The higher the ranking, the better the reward.

This move will definitely stir up trouble among the soldiers.

It's not just about the so-called reward, but also about saving face.

Why can others be on the list but I can't?

Especially if all your friends are on the list and you're the only one who isn't, that would be incredibly embarrassing.

"Holy crap! This medal is actually a magical artifact. Although it doesn't have any offensive capabilities, isn't using a magical artifact to count merits a bit too extravagant?"

In the military camp, a soldier looked at the medal in his hand and said with a look of surprise.

"What's so extravagant about this? After all, merit points can be used to exchange for all kinds of resources. What if you forge merit points?"

Another soldier countered.

"Indeed, no wonder the imperial court uses magical artifacts as medals..."

The soldier nodded in deep agreement and said.

"The Hall of Merit is open..."

At that moment, someone shouted, and the surrounding soldiers immediately erupted in cheers.

They all headed towards the Hall of Merit, eager to be the first to see what the inside of the Hall of Merit was like.

During this time, news about the Hall of Merit had spread throughout the entire military camp.

The soldiers naturally supported this idea, as it was a huge boon for them.

The Hall of Merit was also built under their watchful eyes.

However, they could only see the outside of the Hall of Merit; few people knew what it was like inside.
