The Secret to Picking Up Girls

After unknowingly healing the classmate's illness, Zhang Yuze was about to leave when a voice echoed in his mind again.

"Kid, your merit has increased by 2000." Zhang Yuze immediately stopped, extremely surprised.

"Why did my merit increase? I just killed someone, didn't do anything good, did I?" Zhang Yuze asked the Book Spirit with confusion.

"You don't understand, you don't necessarily have to do good deeds to accumulate merit. If you kill someone but can benefit the public as a result, it still counts as your merit. Although you committed a killing, more people are spared from harm because of your actions, so you are accumulating virtue. Because your merit is enough to offset your sins, you can gain merit," the Book Spirit explained to Zhang Yuze in his mind.

Zhang Yuze nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked the Book Spirit with confusion: "That's not right! Why didn't I get any merit when I killed Shi Zhengjie? It's the same as this time! Could it be that Shi Zhengjie's evil wasn't great enough? But that's not right, Shi Zhengjie was the leader of a women-trafficking ring. I think the evil he committed should be much greater than Li Cunxiao's, right? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him utterly wicked, would it?"

The Book Spirit chuckled and said to Zhang Yuze: "You don't understand this either. Although you did kill Shi Zhengjie at the time, your Treasure Mirror's level was too low then. The Treasure Mirror wasn't able to absorb that merit, so you didn't get it."

"Oh! So that's how it is." Zhang Yuze suddenly understood, but couldn't help but feel it was a pity.

However, Zhang Yuze was still very excited to receive 2000 merit points all at once. According to the Book Spirit, 2000 merit points are equivalent to 20,000 faith points. He already had 10,300 faith points last time, and now with this 20,000, he essentially has 30,300. He can now open the fourth layer of the Treasure Mirror. The thought of what magical abilities might be waiting for him in the fourth layer filled Zhang Yuze with curiosity.

"You should wait until you collect more faith points before opening the fourth layer! Don't think that you have tens of thousands of faith points now, because the fourth layer is considered to be of an intermediate level, so it will require even more faith points. You need to be mentally prepared!" the Book Spirit poured cold water on Zhang Yuze.

"Why is that? What is the intermediate level? Is the Treasure Mirror divided into levels?" Zhang Yuze asked the Book Spirit, still confused, wondering how the Treasure Mirror was classified.

"Damn, are you a pig-brain? Isn't this obvious? I already told you, the Treasure Mirror is divided into nine layers. The first to third layers are considered elementary, while the third to sixth layers are considered intermediate. The sixth to ninth layers are naturally considered advanced. Naturally, each layer is more powerful than the last, understand? Okay?"
