Terra Martial God and Merit System

There is another type of person who does more bad things than good things. If you kill this type of person, you will only deduct merit.

Luo Chen knew very well that as a man who wanted to accumulate 1 billion merits, he absolutely could not touch the last kind of person.

【Knowing the Mind Method】 is used to do this.

Using this skill, Luo Chen can see everyone's "heart".

This 'heart' is not a real heart, but a 'heart' in a 'moral sense'.

In short, the darker the heart is that can be seen by the [Mind-Knowing Method], the more bad things this person has done.

If it's not all black, some points will be deducted if you kill it.

If it is half white and half black, there will be no increase or decrease.

After Luo Chen discovered this skill, he looked at Surtel's "heart".

The other person's heart is generally white and clean, but if you look closely, you can see some faint fuzzy black air.

As a wanderer, this is normal.

It’s a pity that Luo Chen can’t see his own heart.

"But I've done so many good things, you don't need to look to know that my heart must be pure." Luo Chen thought.

He tilted his head and glanced at the map hanging on the wall.

"Maybe we can go to the city of 'Kamsk' tomorrow and try our luck. With this, I won't have to worry about killing the wrong person."

Chapter 10 Snowstorm

When I woke up the next day, the door of the watchtower could no longer be opened.

I don’t know how much snow fell last night.

While Luo Chen lamented the coldness of Ursus, he opened the window and let in some snow.

S'Erter's condition suddenly became very bad in the morning, which might be caused by yesterday's battle.

She kept muttering some names of people she had never heard of and speaking a language she could not understand at all.

At one point, she even called Luo Chen the 'savior'.

"Eat it." Luo Chen placed the parfait in front of Surtel, "Eat it quickly, or it will melt and become unpalatable."

"Thank you."

Sultl looked at him, then blinked.

"My memories... I'm sorry... I don't know where they come from or what they mean."

"That doesn't matter. Memories must ultimately serve the present self." Luo Chen said softly, "They are defined by the present you."

Surtel still stared at Luo Chen, "But my memory has been affecting me."

"You don't think I'm really the 'savior', do you?" Luo Chen spread his hands, "Don't give me a nickname. There is no savior in this world. Or maybe everyone is a savior."

Sartel's hand holding the spoon suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"What you just said sounds like something only a savior could say."

"I told you not to worry about this..."

"Feel sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. Your memory is already confused. This kind of misunderstanding is normal."

As Surtel ate her parfait in small bites, her emotions gradually calmed down.

"Where are you going today?"

"Kamsk. The nearest mobile city."

"Yeah." Surtel didn't ask why. She just quickly finished her parfait, then picked up her sword and wiped it carefully.

"It snowed heavily yesterday. We can wait a while before we go. After all, the snow is too deep."

"it is good."

The two rested for a while, then packed up their bags and left the watchtower.

After the snow, the sun came out. Today's sunshine was particularly pleasant.

Luo Chen and Surtel advanced on the snow, and soon saw the outline of a building in the distance.

"A moving city..."

Luo Chen stared at the huge monster and sighed.

The technology tree in the world of Terra is completely different.

Due to the frequent and destructive natural disasters, almost all countries were forced to regularly migrate cities to avoid them. The invention of the Originium Engine made the Originium industry possible, and people began to try to build vehicles that were much larger than before. The size of the vehicles was different from the past, and eventually the concept of a mobile city-state was formed.

A city that can move...it's simply unimaginable.

But the closer he got, the more Luo Chen felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this moving city in front of him.

Its body is covered with a lot of snow, and it can even be said that its entire body is dyed white.

Not only that, as you get closer, you can see that its metal and concrete shell is covered with pits and scars.

On the road ahead for Luo Chen and Surtel, there were many fist-sized hailstones scattered around.

Apparently the city was hit by some extreme weather last night.

"A natural disaster?" Luo Chen muttered to himself.

They arrived at the walls of the moving city.

The city wall is not high, but it is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to climb it.

While Luo Chen was standing outside the city, he could hear all kinds of sounds coming from inside the city wall - screaming, wailing, begging...

It seemed like something bad had happened inside.

Luo Chen's merit radar immediately became excited.

Yes, there will always be chaos after a natural disaster. So isn't this the time for me to show my skills?

"Let's go into the city!" Luo Chen said to Surtel.

Then he immediately ran along the city wall.

After walking for a few minutes, they came across a checkpoint.

Several soldiers were standing lazily at the door, and when they saw Luo Chen and the others appear, they even forgot to raise their weapons.

"Just rush in." Luo Chen whispered, and rushed towards the checkpoint with a tiptoe.

He was now thinking about saving people and was too lazy to pay attention to these soldiers.

After all, Luo Chen was already somewhat accustomed to gaining merits by killing monsters, and there was a possibility that merits would be deducted, but the merits gained by saving people were a sure win.

These soldiers were bullies who only cared about the weak and feared the strong. When they saw the two men forcefully rushing through the checkpoint, they forgot to stop them for a moment.

Luo Chen and Surtel were extremely fast, and by the time they reacted, they had already disappeared.

"Captain... Captain... what should we do?" a soldier asked in astonishment. "Should we report it?"

"Report it!" The captain of the checkpoint guard team who just reacted cursed inwardly, "Will we deduct our wages if we report it? Let the boss know that we are useless?"

"Listen to me carefully. Nothing happened just now! Got it?"

Luo Chen and Surtel didn't know what was happening here because another obstacle appeared in front of them.

It was an iron wall that seemed to be built temporarily. There were many soldiers patrolling underneath.

Luo Chen listened for a moment and confirmed that the screams were coming from inside the wall. So without hesitation, he gathered his strength and took a few steps upwards to flip over.

Sulter followed closely behind.

"Bang!" Luo Chen landed on the muddy ground. He looked up and looked around -

In front of us is a slum area.

However, these shacks were battered by hail and became tattered, as if they would collapse at the slightest touch. The iron roofs were beaten unevenly by hail, and the colorful plastic tarpaulins were torn into strips, like broken sails beaten by wind and frost.

The muddy ground was littered with broken planks, broken wood strips, and flattened iron nails. Broken bowls, pots, and spoons were scattered on the ground.

"The slums?" Luo Chen sniffed the faint smell of blood and stench in the air.

"Ka--" Surtr has already drawn out his greatsword.

"Please... This is something I found with great difficulty..."

"*Ursus swears*! You can't feed that child! You might as well let me eat it!"

"No !!!!"

"Whoa whoa-"

Before the two of them got used to the environment here, a noisy conversation came into Luo Chen's ears.

【Nine Oxen and Two Tigers are on! 】

[Light Feather Blessing is open! 】

Luo Chen's figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in a single step.

Climbing up the crumbling iron roof, Luo Chen saw the scene where the sound came from.

A woman was fighting with a man over something, and the sound of a baby crying could be heard in her arms.

Luo Chen opened the [Mind Reading Method] and scanned it——

"Two-thirds dark. Can be killed."

Luo Chen made a decision, then immediately jumped off the roof, and the dagger in his hand stabbed the man's head cleanly.

[You killed a... bandit, merit +10, due to indiscriminate killing, merit -2]

Chapter 11: Rescue

[You helped a single mother, Merit +5]

"Oh?" The woman with a child in her arms looked at the person in front of her fall down stupidly, and was stunned for a moment.

Luo Chen snatched the package from the man's hand and opened it.

There were a few dry things inside, which looked like the roots of some plant.

"Here." He handed it to the other party.

“Thank you…thank you…” The woman took the package and immediately stuffed it into her arms, holding it tightly against the child.

The package itself was quite cold, and the child was so irritated that he immediately started crying loudly.

But the woman ignored it and looked at Luo Chen cautiously.

"You're fine." Luo Chen said as gently as possible, "I killed the bad guy. You are safe."

"I...I..." The woman was at a loss, her brain couldn't react for a while, but her body was very quick.

She fell to her knees, looking panicked.

"Stand up, don't kneel!" Luo Chen said seriously.

The woman was startled and stood up hastily.

"System, is there any safe place around?" Luo Chen asked in his heart.

If you have any questions, it’s always right to ask the system.

[The answer to this question is beyond the scope of my answer]

The system responds.

Luo Chen understood. What he had asked before was the content of the system's 'instructions manual', so he naturally couldn't answer it now.

The system's light curtain flashes again:
