Upon hearing Li Xiu talk about earning first-class merit, the ten personal guards were overjoyed. They knew what first-class merit meant; it was their ticket to exchanging for a spirit beast at the City Lord's Mansion, a dream come true for them.
Unfortunately, most trial takers find it hard to possess even the lowest-grade spirit beast, as the drop rate is extremely low.
Jani listened with envy burning in his eyes. A first-class merit reward was not something given lightly; it required significant contributions to earn such honor.
Even those personal guards who get injured while completing tasks typically only receive second-class merit.
Although second-class merit can also be exchanged for spirit beasts, the quality cannot be guaranteed like when using first-class merit.
Jani possessed a quality spirit beast himself, but he had paid a hefty price for it. It paled in comparison to one acquired via first-class merit.
