I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 559. Time Skip (4)

Right, the exchange list.

This exchange list was separated from the ordinary shop list that people could see on their daily lives.

In order to help those who had higher merits to get stronger or find what they needed, there was an exchange platform that restricted their rank. Only those of certain ranks of merit would be able to see it.

Thankfully, it was based on their accumulated merit and not based on their current merit.

Because if it was based on the current merit, it was estimated that they would not be able to reach the required level. it would take too much time and it was not very convenient, so they used this system.

But in any case, those who reached certain amount of merit would be able to see the ’secret exchange list.’

In the list, there were some items that were not available in the ordinary list.

For example, the even better concentration liquid from the research institute. Even though the research institute had made many better concentration liquid, they didn’t immediately flow into the market and instead had to reach a certain amount of merit to be able to purchase.

In this way, ordinary people would have no access to it at all.

Because the methods to acquire merit were only 2. First was to give huge contribution to humanities, which could be done through research, finding something precious, or even providing a lot of data. These couldn’t be done easily and required meticulousness or even luck. The second method was to hunt a lot of big mutated animals.

Hunting these big mutated animals would reach then corresponding merits.

At the beginning, it was set that all ranks of big mutated animals would give them merits. But afterwards, it was set so that only big mutated animals rank 2 or above would give merit.

Because the rank 1 big mutated animals were simply too weak.

It would make it too easy for them to earn merit.

But even then, it was not that difficult for them to earn merit as long as they were willing to work hard.

Those who reached certain standard were finally able to see the better items in the exchange list.

This naturally include rank 5 and higher big mutated animals’ meat.

With Dylan and Anna’s mission of hunting rank 5 or higher big mutated animals in the past few months, there were many excess meats. The research didn’t need so much big mutated animals’ meat and it could be given to the other awakened to be eaten to get stronger.

The accumulation of dull powder from rank 3 to rank 5 all increased exponentially.

The difference was really large.

But it was also because of this large difference of the dull powder needed that the strength from rank 3 to rank 5 were all increasing greatly. If those from rank 1 to rank 3 could still possibly contend against each other to a certain degree, a leap battle of rank 3 against rank 4 would be impossible.

Because the gap was simply too big.

The only problem was the accumulation of resources.

Some people started to realize that it took them a long time to accumulate resources. Even though more than 2 years have passed, many people still couldn’t reach rank 4 as they were stuck in rank 3.

Thus, it was publicly acknowledged that rank 3 to rank 4 was a big leap.

But those who had reached rank 4 also knew that to reach rank 5 wouldn’t be easy and there were not many people who had reached rank 5 in City A Base. Thankfully, there were still some, so many rank 5 big mutated animals could be hunted by other awakened and then sold to the base.

If these awakened hunted these rank 5 big mutated animals through the mission from the base and even used their intelligence, they would require the awakened to share the body of the rank 5 big mutated animals to the base. They would not ask for everything and only some parts of the rank 5 big mutated animals.

The base was not so greedy.

Besides, for the awakened himself, if they could hand over the bones and some other parts that were not needed to eat, it was also good. After all, not all team has a plant ability user who could use the corpse to make plants.

Failure of fulfilling this duty would put them in the blacklist and possibly be hunted by others.

The reward wanted order has been established in order to create a more peaceful environment.

Even if it couldn’t protect them completely, it would reduce the chance of them committing crimes.

And with the increase of more powerful awakened, Dylan and Anna didn’t have to be the one to go out every time there was a sighting of rank 5 big mutated animals not far from City A Base.

The road connecting base to bases were not completely done yet, but the outposts could contact each other for now.

It was just that the problem of big mutated animals on the road hasn’t been solved yet.

But for rank 6 or above big mutated animals, it could only be handed to Dylan and Anna.

Like now.

"The location of this rank 6 big mutated animal was not that far from our base." Dylan looked at the information in his hand while hugging Anna in front of him. "We should be able to go back quickly after we eliminate it."

Anna leaned back against Dylan and smiled while patting Kitty below them.

Yes, Kitty could become a mount.

After reaching rank 6, Kitty’s size increased rapidly to the point that it was far bigger than tiger. This made Kitty felt wronged.

He was such a small and cute cat before.

But now, he looked more ferocious.

Thanks to this, Kitty could only stay in Dylan and Anna’s small base outside and couldn’t come with them to City A Base. Even with Kitty’s status as battle pet, his appearance was quite... intimidating.
