After hearing what Magistrate Black Bear said, Chen Lin pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and asked, "Your Excellency, what is the use of this meritorious service?"
Then he looked slightly embarrassed and said: "After I was appointed by the owner of the venue, the owner of the venue wandered away, and I didn't have time to understand this information."
Magistrate Heixiong smiled and nodded, saying: "If Princess Gegeyun can value him, Brother Chen must be outstanding, and he will become famous sooner or later."
Then he explained: "The role of merit is too great. It can be used in many places. It can be said to be the most important thing in the devil world."
Chen Lin immediately said respectfully: "Please ask the county magistrate to clear up any doubts."
The Black Bear County Magistrate waved his hand, "This information is not secret. Since Brother Chen has obtained the status of public servant, he will know this information sooner or later."
Then he slowly explained.
"The biggest role of meritorious service is to improve one's status. Brother Chen is currently in the lower third class. He only needs ten meritorious service to be promoted to the third class. With twenty more meritorious service, he can be promoted to the third higher class.
"
After a pause, he continued: "It takes fifty meritorious deeds to upgrade the third class to the second class, seventy to the second class, one hundred to the second class, and two hundred meritorious deeds to upgrade the second class to the first class!"
Chen Lin secretly took a breath of cold air.
It is too difficult to improve one's status in this demon world.
It is so difficult to kill a Tianluo person, but only one meritorious service is given to the elite level Tianluo people. Even the strong Void Refiner dare not match its edge, and only ten of them are given, which is pitiful.
However, upgrading your status can easily cost dozens or even hundreds. It is not easy to get promoted.
The voice of Black Bear County Magistrate continued.
"The status of a first-class official is already very noble. My golden catcher is only a second-class officer and has not yet entered the first-class ranks."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately understood that the official in this demon world was, to put it bluntly, a 'official', not an official. It would probably be more difficult to become an official.
Sure enough, the Black Bear County Magistrate continued: "It takes 300 meritorious service to move from the first class to the first middle class, and 500 meritorious services from the first class to the first class. If you want to become an official, in addition to 1,000 meritorious service, you also need to accept the rules assessment."
Promotion.
"
Having said this, he said sternly: "Everything in the demon world is governed by the rules generated by the magic law. No one can take advantage of others. For example, Brother Chen's step from an ordinary person to a third-class official must pass an assessment.
Even Princess Gegeyun cannot make an exception, Brother Chen must have felt the difficulty of the assessment, and the assessment for promotion to official from official service is ten times more difficult than that!"
Chen Lin frowned upon hearing this.
Originally, he was thinking about improving his status and becoming an official in the demon world, but now he has given up on this thought.
Such a difficult promotion and having to undergo an assessment would not only take up a lot of time, but also put him in great danger. He was a monk and not a native of the demon world, so there was no need to focus on this.
Seeing Chen Lin's shocked expression, Black Bear County Magistrate showed a proud look on his face. He had achieved this level of difficulty, which further demonstrated his ability.
Chen Lin cupped his hand and said with an awkward smile: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to improve my level. I have learned from you. I wonder if meritorious deeds have other uses besides improving your status?"
"certainly!"
Magistrate Black Bear said: "We, the officials, are the foundation of maintaining the magic law and the enforcers of the rules. Naturally, we will receive corresponding preferential treatment. For example, Brother Chen's third-class tolerance can ignore the restrictions of the first-class road guide.
The second-class tolerance can ignore the second-class guidance, and the first-class tolerance can ignore the third-class guidance.”
Then, he straightened his body and said proudly: "Once you have an official status, you can move freely within the fourth-level road guide area. Except for silver and above areas, you can go to other places!"
After hearing what the other party said, Chen Lin was speechless for a while.
The ability of the identity level to break through the restrictions of the road guide is too weak. The tolerance can only reach the authority of the third-level road guide at most. Even if you are an official, you can move within the scope of the fourth-level road guide. So what kind of identity do you need to enter the silver scene?
This channel is too difficult, it would be easier to upgrade directly.
Just as he was about to ask, he heard the other party say again: "As an official, you can be exempted from certain rules and restrictions according to your status at different levels. If you also violate the rules, the punishment will be correspondingly weakened. Even if it is a capital crime, you can also use
Lowering the status level to offset it can be said to have many benefits."
Chen Lin's eyes flashed slightly.
This preferential treatment is of some use. If he can be exempted from the 'obliteration' rule, it will be very useful for him to explore the devil world.
He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Lord County Lord, I have heard a saying that the Demon World is not a whole, but independent scenes, and each scene has its own tasks, which need to be completed once you enter.
Mission, otherwise once you leave, you will violate the rules and lead to death. I don’t know if it is true?”
In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether creatures in the demon world were also subject to this rule, and whether he could be exempted from this after having this tolerance status.
After all, as an outsider, except for the silver scene, there are no mission rules to restrict the entry of the real body. It can only be done in the projection state. The native creatures of the demon world should not have this restriction.
"Task?"
Magistrate Black Bear was confused for a moment.
Then he glanced at Chen Lin and said with a clear look: "Brother Chen is indeed a person from the outside world, not a creature of the demon world. He will be greatly suppressed in the demon world. Brother Chen can still complete the tolerance assessment like this.
It’s really extraordinary, no wonder it is appreciated by Princess Gegeyun.”
Seeing that the other party had already seen through his identity, Chen Lin relaxed and continued to look at the other party, waiting for an answer.
The Black Bear County Magistrate pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know much about the situation you mentioned. After all, I have been living in Zhiwu County since I regained my consciousness, so the sources of information are limited."
After a pause, he added: "But thinking about it, the punishment should be reduced, but you are only the lowest third-class subordinate. Even if the punishment is reduced, you will probably be deprived of your official status. It's better not to try it rashly."
This was said from the bottom of his heart, and Chen Lin hurriedly thanked him.
Then, Magistrate Black Bear said: "The demon world is originally composed of independent spaces, which are projections of all the worlds. Only level four guides can move across spaces. However, if you enter other people's territory at will, if there is no invitation letter or inspection
A warrant can easily be considered a provocative act, and even if someone is killed on the spot, they will not be punished by the rules.
In addition, not all creatures in the territory can communicate with each other. Most of them are monsters that only follow the rules. They are weird and powerful. Even I dare not touch them lightly, so be careful when entering other people's territory."
At this point, he sighed and said: "Since the accident, the rules of the devil world have been seriously distorted, making the originally chaotic rules even more confusing. Now, except for some basic rules, even I can't figure out the rest.
Dare to leave your own territory at will."
Chen Lin felt that he finally had a certain understanding of the demon world, but there were still many things he was unclear about.
Seeing that the other party was willing to talk, he continued to ask: "Since there is an official government and a hierarchy of officials, there should be a highest management organization. I wonder who is in charge of this world?"
There are policemen, arresters, county magistrates, princesses, and even princesses. Such a complete system must have an existence such as an emperor. Chen Lin really wants to know what level of power this lord of the demon world is.
"Hahaha!"
Magistrate Black Bear laughed.
Looking at Chen Lin's confused face, he explained: "Brother Chen seems to really know nothing about the situation in the demon world."
Then his smile faded and he said: "For Princess Gegeyun's sake, I will tell you today that when the princess comes back from her travels, I will ask Brother Chen to put in a good word for me in front of the princess."
"Definitely."
Chen Lin hurriedly agreed.
He has been exploring the secrets of the demon world for a long time, and this time the veil was finally revealed bit by bit, which made him very excited.
Magistrate Black Bear nodded with satisfaction and said: "There is no ruler in the demon world, only guardians. What they protect is the magic law. Whenever there is an existence that breaks through the restrictions of the magic law, they will be eradicated immediately."
"Magic Law?"
Chen Lin wondered: "Since there is no master, who set the magic law? Could it be the guardians? Then aren't they the masters?"
Speaking of guardians, he thought of Niu Niu. Unexpectedly, the little straw girl who called him uncle was already a top existence in the demon world.
But why was the other party sealed? Was it the work of a powerful outsider?
The Black Bear County Magistrate shook his head and said: "The magic law is not formulated by anyone, but is generated naturally, and all territories in the devil world are independent and have no affiliation. For example, Brother Chen, a third-class low-level official like you,
As the county magistrate, I have no jurisdiction."
At this point, he changed his subject and said: "But the higher the status, the higher the authority. I am a ninth-grade official, and I don't know what the authority of senior officials is, let alone there are people like Gegeyun County."
A person with a title like the Lord has greater authority, so with the Princess protecting him, Brother Chen has a bright future!"
Chen Lin was stunned.
At this time, he suddenly realized that the titles of princess and princess were actually titles, which were obtained through meritorious service.
Needless to say, Niu Niu, her immediate boss was also powerful enough to get the title of princess based on merit. No wonder she was able to escape from the demon world through the node.
"Your Excellency, do you know where the magic law can be obtained? I would like to get a copy to observe it carefully, so as not to get into trouble if I violate the law in the future."
"Haha, this is easy to say. I will give one to Brother Chen later. For now, let's hand over the weapons of the Tianluo people first. Brother Chen will exchange them for magic coins or meritorious deeds."
The Black Bear County Magistrate chuckled, stopped talking, and got down to business.
