"Oh."
Looking at the reward, Nexus's reaction was quite lukewarm, not because he thought the reward was low, but because he didn't have the concept of a given reward.
Although he is knowledgeable, at the end of the day, he is still a normal citizen; the money he uses in his daily life is Alliance Points. If you compare Alliance Points to the currency of his last life, then a single Alliance point should be equal to 10$.
"Oh, sorry for the error. It seems you don't have some basic knowledge."
Perhaps sensing his confusion, the Goddess spoke again, before Nexus could react, a flood of knowledge entered his mind.
"Ah."
Nexus couldn't help but shout, after all the knowledge came too suddenly. The Goddess didn't even give him time to react.
"Sorry for my mistake."
The goddess quickly reacted as a blue light fell on Nexus, soothing his spirit. The goddess quickly recorded this mistake in her databank so as not to make the mistake again.
She is someone who takes care of the entire star system, and the people she normally deals with are those above the sixth realm; thus, when treating Nexus, she mistakenly gave the same response.
"It's ok."
Nexus replied as he closed his eyes; he could feel that his soul had been strengthened by the blue light. Well, it seems he got a stroke of fortune out of nowhere.
He also couldn't help but be surprised by the reward he had gotten. Through the information provided by the goddess, he learnt that the Universe Coin is something used by Pathstriders throughout the universe.
Its value will never change, as the Universe Coin can also be used as a source of energy for cultivation. Converted to Alliance points, a single Universe Coin is roughly equal to 10,000 Alliance Points.
Though, unless absolutely necessary, most people won't sell Universe Coin, after all, only with Universe Coin can one buy material of heaven and earth.
Then comes Merit points, its value is almost mind-blowing, although if you calculate by purchasing power, Merit points are only equal to 1000 Universe Coin, but if you want to buy Merit points, you will have to spend at least a hundred thousand Universe coin for a single point.
Merit points have such high prices because it is the highest currency in the Human Alliance. With enough merit points, you can buy anything.
Merit Points can also be used to increase one's Civilian Level; this is also one of the main uses of merit points.
"Goddess, I have a question."
"Dear Citizen Nexus, please ask."
"If I use everything I currently have at my disposal, can I treat my sister's illness?"
"Calculating... Please wait...."
"Dear Citizen Nexus, With your current means, you can't treat your sister."
"It is advised to use your current means to strengthen yourself."
"I see, Goddess, can your current level treat my sister's illness?"
"No.. Her condition is special. With my permitted calculation power, it is not possible to treat her condition."
Hearing the Goddess reply, Nexus couldn't help but sigh. Through the information provided, he could probably guess that the Goddess he is talking to is the one who manages the whole planet.
So if she can't treat my sister, then that means that no one on this planet will be able to.
"Goddess, can you show me my citizen Panel?"
"Understood. Also, Dear Citizen Nexus, with the current protection you are given, most will only be able to look at the fake information created by me."

"Goddess, I would like to upgrade my Citizen Level."
"Dear Citizen Nexus, By how many levels?"
"As much as my current Merit Points allow."
"Understood.. calculating.... Congratulations, Dear Citizen Nexus, for becoming a Silver Citizen."
{You have been gifted 1000 Universe Coins for your citizen Level.}
"Congratulations, Dear Citizen Nexus, for becoming a Golden Citizen."
{You have been gifted 10000 Universe Coins for your citizen Level.}
"Congratulations, Dear Citizen, for becoming a Level 1 citizen."
{You have been gifted 100,000 Universe Coins for your citizen Level.}
Looking at the 3900 Merit Points that remained, Nexus quickly calculated the price for increasing the citizen level.
Aside from the money given as a congratulatory gift, the biggest thing he received was all the privileges of a Level 1 citizen.
A citizen of this level can have a surname, and all those who have their bloodline can also inherit this surname. They can also give their surname to 100 people who are not related by blood.
As for why such a thing is a privilege, well, after the Dark Ages, the concept of surnames was almost destroyed. But with the words of a high-ranking figure, the current system was established.
Only those at Silver Citizen rank can have a surname, but they can't give their surname to others. A Golden Citizen can give a surname to 10 people, counting their bloodlines.
With his current Citizen Level, he can also use the Virtual Void, a one-to-one copy of the real world created by the Goddess of Wisdom and Future.
If he feels threatened, he can mobilize the entire security force of his planet to protect himself, and if necessary, he can even call a Fighter Class Spaceship to escape the planet.
He can also take a loan of one million Universe Coin from the Alliance Bank and can repay it within a thousand years.
He also doesn't need to enter the army for a thousand years, and as long as he doesn't commit murder, he can get away with any other crimes. Though if he does commit crimes, his Merit Point will be deducted.
If the Merit Points reach a negative, his current Citizen level will be decreased by one level.
"Dear Citizen Nexus, Please tell me the name of your path."
As he was thinking, the voice of the Goddess brought him back.
"Name."
"Yes."
"Martial Path."
"Already Taken."
"Oh. Then Martial Arts Path."
"Already Taken."
"Hmm. Martial Tao."
"Already Taken."
...
....
"Martial Immortal Path."
