Chapter 204 Wu Yuemei’s second attempt

"I copied your superpowers and didn't cause any loss to you. I just want to leave."

The water monkey flying in the air said with tears in his eyes: "I want to be a good demon, can you give me a chance?"

This gesture made Shen Shili, who was flying at level, suddenly a little nervous.

[Mr. Ji, is it possible that you have empathy for this monster because you have had similar experiences? 】

"I'm sorry." Ji Tianqi apologized and said, "I really don't have the power to enforce the law."

"???" Water Monkey was confused. What does this have to do with law enforcement power?

Ji Tianqi continued: "So, as a non-law enforcement officer, it is reasonable for me not to have the right to judge."

"..."

Water Monkey understood and confirmed again that there was something wrong with Ji Tianqi's mental state.

It regrets that it just gave up its one-hundred-thousand-volt discharge superpower for the superpower of flying.

[I should first give up the ability to survive underwater. As long as I encounter aquatic monsters, I will have a chance to regain it. 】

【Miscalculation. 】

Water Monkey sighed inwardly, raised his hands and said, "I surrender."

Ji Tianqi sighed slightly disappointedly, which made Water Monkey suddenly feel very happy.

Since he is thankful that his ability is too magical, Ji Tianqi needs to test it. I am also glad that I surrendered decisively and did not give Ji Tianqi a chance to kill it on the spot and seize the demon pill.

But at this moment, Ji Tianqi was floating thousands of meters in the air, floating from Shen Shili's back like a fallen leaf blown up by the wind, to the water monkey's shoulders.

He made a sound of regret.

"I originally thought about flying back just like before."

"..." Shen Shili wanted to question - Are you regretful that you can no longer fly with me?

The water monkey failed to realize the difference.

In terms of the knowledge of monsters, it is very common for people to use them as mounts. Although they are usually horses, donkeys, cows, etc., it is almost unheard of to use monkeys as mounts.

But I am a flying monkey.

"Fly like he did just now, fly flat, do you understand?"

When Ji Tianqi lowered his head and reminded him softly, the water monkey lay down obediently. Ji Tianqi, who was originally standing on its shoulders, now stepped on its back.

This made Shen Shili feel a little better.

The two of them and the demon flew back to the Pumice Reservoir and met up with the others.

When he landed, Ji Tianqi looked at Tiger Pioneer in surprise and asked, "Why didn't you escape?"

[You think I am blind? You are flying so fast on Shen Shili, can I escape? Moreover, this is by the water, Jiang Congshu is a real water control person...]

Hu Xianfeng said sincerely: "Because I have already decided to be a good demon."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you this opportunity as soon as possible."

Ji Tianqi nodded with satisfaction.

Just in time, Li Yuanhong ran back holding a big fish weighing 300 kilograms, and the group evacuated.

Although no human corpses were found in the reservoir, the weight of the interrogation about the water monkey was not high. However, Ji Tianqi confirmed that the water monkey had the superpower to replicate war-level superpowers, so the weight increased from this aspect.

Naturally, Ji Tianqi does not need to complete the communication and handover work with relevant parties.

And the Heroes Association and the Security Bureau were amazed - how could a war-level monster be captured alive in an ordinary reconnaissance mission? Moreover, it is a monster with special abilities.

It also failed to reach Ji Tianqi's ears.

Bai Xiuchu and others wanted to report, but were stopped by Ji Tianqi. He didn't care about these exclamations, he only cared about authority.

……

In the underground base of the film and television city, Ji Tianqi, who had completed two tasks in succession, received two pieces of good news before meeting the carefully selected recipients.

"The Heroes Association has re-evaluated the difficulty of our mission, and since we don't need the bounty, the merit points have been determined to be 63."

In Hero Association missions, the number of merit points that an individual-level target can obtain is usually only a single digit, whether it is 1 or 9, it depends on the target's ability and the difficulty of the mission.

The goal is only to enhance the physical fitness of an individual soldier, which is usually only 1, but if criminals or monsters with this ability take hostages, the difficulty of the mission will increase.

If you can ensure the safety of the hostages and successfully complete the mission, your merit points will increase.

Considering the number and impact of hostages, some can even reach double-digit merit points.

战术级一般是10至25点，战役级是25至50点，战争级是50至100点，战略级是100至500点。

Historical level, legendary level, and myth level are not tasks that the Hero Association can issue.

Even strategic-level missions are very rare in the Heroes Association.

Ji Tianqi, who knew this, was a little dissatisfied.

"Why are you only 63? The water monkey is very powerful, okay? He took me hostage."

"..."

[If holding you hostage is considered powerful, then all the monsters we encounter in the future will definitely be able to hold you hostage. 】

When everyone was speechless, Bai Xiuchu explained.

"Because of some objective reasons, for example, the Pumice Reservoir is in the wild and there are no hostages. During the battle, there will be no property losses of practical significance at this stage..."

After hearing these reasons, Ji Tianqi's dissatisfaction decreased a little.

But Bai Xiuchu told bad news again.

"63 is just the approved mission merit points, not what we can get. Based on our performance during the mission, there are some deductions, and in the end our team got 54 merit points."

Ji Tianqi smiled, and no one could tell whether he was angry or not.

He asked calmly: "What deductions are there?"

Bai Xiuchu answered one by one.

"We smashed the roof of the fishing guy's car, Li Yuanhong robbed the fishing guy's fish, and we illegally conducted an ability test on the monster. Well, the last point is the one with the most deductions."

After she finished telling the bad news, she spoke very quickly: "But after deducting the merit points, we will not be held responsible."

"Yo?" Ji Tianqi laughed.

"It's strange that the people from the Hero Association are nice, but they don't hold us accountable."

"..."

Although everyone could hear Ji Tianqi's dissatisfaction, this time no one agreed.

Because overall, the course of action this time is indeed flawed, especially the illegal testing.

They believed that Ji Tianqi could ensure the safety of Luo Xingyi and Shen Shili and capture the Water Monkey.

But what if?

If you want to avoid 'just in case' situations, you should not operate illegally.

Bai Xiuchu changed his angle and said with a smile: "This is actually a good thing, because if other heroes dare to operate in violation of regulations like this, the consequences will not only be the deduction of merit points. Well, yes, only we have this privilege."

Ji Tianqi's eyes brightened.

"That makes sense." He said with some enlightenment: "It seems that being mentally ill does have its benefits."

Everyone was shocked.

[So you did it on purpose...? 】

"It's indeed a good deal." Jiang Congshu also said happily: "If I had known that I would only deduct such a small amount, I would have made those three fishermen realize the reality without waiting for you to say something, senior brother."

"..."

The words of these two senior brothers once again left other normal people speechless.

But what they said does make sense, because you can always meet some people who can't figure it out.

If you pay too much attention to it, it will definitely limit your abilities and affect your mission. Ji Tianqi asked: "Elementary authority only requires 1000 merit points, right?"

"Yes, as long as we capture another nineteen war-level monsters, we will 100% be able to obtain primary authority. Of course, we don't only capture war-level targets."

Bai Xiuchu reminded: "Moreover, we are different from ordinary hero teams. Most of them can only catch monsters and are called monster hunters. But we can participate in the operations of the Security Bureau and arrest criminals."

"It's not a big problem."

Ji Tianqi asked confidently: "What can I exchange for these merit points?"

"There aren't many that can be exchanged."

Bai Xiuchu said this and at the same time, a redemption list appeared in front of everyone in the form of holographic projection.

Except for Shen Shili and other people from the Security Administration, everyone including Ji Tianqi was dazzled.

It was their first time to get merit points, and it was their first time to see such a redemption list.

The most conspicuous among them is the energy-boosting potion produced by the Academy of Sciences. Because the exchange volume is particularly high, it ranks among the top.

There are nine levels in total. The lowest level is the first-level potion, which can only increase the energy value by 10 points at a time and requires 10 merit points to redeem it.

The unit price converted into 1 point of energy value is 1 merit point.

It is also noted that due to drug resistance, the number of uses for a single individual is limited to 100 times.

After that, you need a second-level potion that can increase the energy value by 20 points at a time, and you need 40 merit points to redeem one.

The unit price of 1 energy point is converted into 2 merit points.

This potion can only be redeemed 50 times by a single individual, and then the effect will weaken until it has no effect.

If you want to use energy-boosting potions, you need higher-level genetic potions.

Basically, a level of energy-boosting potion can only increase energy by 1000 points when used up to the upper limit.

Moreover, the higher the level, the higher the unit price of converted energy value.

A potion that can increase the energy value by 90 points at a time, the converted unit price of the energy value is as high as 9 merit points. If you want to rely on this potion to increase the energy value by 1000, you need to pay up to merit points.

Calculated based on the merit points for capturing war-level criminals and monsters, nearly two hundred would need to be captured.

"Is the Academy of Sciences so dark?"

Before and in the future, Ji Tianqi did not need to exchange energy value-increasing potions, but this did not prevent him from directly attacking his superior organization's superior organization's superior organization.

"The normal market price of merit points is 200,000 points. Based on the use of a ninth-level energy-enhancing potion, increasing the energy value by 1,000 points is... 9,000 times 200,000. How much is it?"

"1.8 billion!" Jiang Congshu said excitedly: "Senior Brother, your skills are sold too cheaply. If the price increases, the price must increase!"

"..."

Others were really speechless this time, especially those from the Security Administration.

Shen Shili explained helplessly.

"It can't be calculated like this."

Ji Tianqi looked at him angrily and said coldly: "Then what do you think we should do?"

When Shen Shili started to organize the words in his mind, Bai Xiuchu coughed dryly and explained.

"Although a first-level energy-boosting potion can generally only be used a hundred times by a single individual, it will have no effect after that. But once it is redeemed, it can actually be sold after approval.

Because not all superpowers can obtain merit points, the market is actually very large and demand exceeds supply.

In other words, in theory, it can be exchanged unlimitedly and used to exchange for cash. The market price of a first-level energy-boosting potion is generally around two million.

Therefore, there is a little merit point, or a little energy, which is equivalent to the market price of 200,000 yuan. "

Ji Tianqi suddenly realized, "So that's how it was calculated."

"Yes, you said you were going to get a discount before, so one thousand energy points are converted into one hundred million." Bai Xiuchu said thoughtfully: "If you think it's too cheap, you can't raise the price."

"Can't mention it." Although Shen Shili didn't need energy, he persuaded him with reason and evidence for the sake of his colleagues, even those he had never met.

"Your initiation and transfer of skills are not 100% successful, and there are still four key factors. This means that your market is actually limited. You shouldn't calculate it based on the price of the highest-selling potion, right? "

Ji Tianqi frowned slightly and calculated the time for six seconds.

Sighed.

"Forget it, that's it. Who asked me to choose to be a good person?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Jiang Congshu, who had just clamored for a price increase.

He just looked at the problem too much from Ji Tianqi's perspective. He calmed down a little and figured it out - the price was too high, and even if he had several hundred million in savings, he couldn't afford it.

But one wave just subsided and another wave started again.

Ji Tianqi suddenly said in shock: "Then why did the criminal I arrested before give me hundreds of thousands or millions? This price is not right either."

"..." Shen Shili felt that Ji Tianqi just wanted to find trouble because he deducted the merit points of Tianqi team.

But he had to explain patiently: "The previous actions were all organized by the Security Bureau, but this time we acted alone."

Ji Tianqi frowned and said, "Really?"

Bai Xiuchu explained: "Bounty and merit points are different. The former is a universal currency, and giving too much will cause inflation. The latter can be regarded as an internal currency and can only be used on this exchange list. From a certain From a perspective, it is used to recover common currency and avoid inflation.

At the same time, if you want to obtain merit points, you must complete the tasks of the Security Administration, or at least the tasks of the Heroes Association. No matter which one you are, you need to register and register your own superpowers and levels, which is conducive to stability. "

Ji Tianqi understood: "Can't we just say that we should be included? I understand, it's no problem."

Seeing that this incident was finally over, Bai Xiuchu told another good news.

"Commander Ran Jinsheng has calculated the personal merits assigned to you, and he has given you 225."

Ji Tianqi said in surprise: "So many?"

Frankly speaking, he still felt that Water Monkey was more powerful than the four criminals combined.

"It's not that much." Bai Xiuchu thought thoughtfully: "Based on my experience, the ability level of the four criminals and the number of hostages on site can give up to 250 merit points."

Ji Tianqi frowned slightly.

"That's depriving me of my merit points."

[Is this the point? Shouldn't it be that you finally have a personal merit and are only one step away from obtaining junior permissions? 】

"However, 225 sounds better than 250, so it doesn't matter."

Ji Tianqi waved his hand to show his generosity.

Then he arranged: "Luo Xingyi, please formulate our action plan as soon as possible, set a few more goals, and we will complete it at once."

"Yes."

After the arrangements were made, Ji Tianqi went to the main hall of Shaolin Temple.

At the same time, the Tiger Pioneer was holding the gene lock that had been released and the energy in his body was being restored.

But when they arrived at the place, Ji Tianqi became surprised.

Because an acquaintance came.

Wu Yuemei said with a normal expression: "I'm here to interrogate the water monkey, and I'll try again to see if I can succeed."
