Chapter 125

It was definitely a corpse. Ming Hu looked at the Life Orb again.
“15 million.”
He needed 15 million Merit Points to purchase the Life Orb. Ming Hu checked his remaining merit points.
“24.7 million… That’s enough.”
The deed was done. Ming Hu muttered to himself as he looked at the corpse of Karot in his inventory.
“If I can get 15 million merit points for making Richie a pet…”
Ming Hu’s words trailed off, but then he smiled.
Sigh
Ming Hu immediately picked up the Life Orb and approached the counter NPC.
“Please calculate.”
“To purchase the Orb of Life, you’ll need 15 million Merit, and if you do, you won’t be able to purchase any other items for the rest of the day. Do you want to buy it?”
“…”
On the fifth floor, only one item could be purchased per day. After hearing the NPC’s words, Ming Hu thought for a moment.
“…should we look around a bit more?
Sigh
Ming Hu turned around and began to look at the items inside the fifth floor.
[Not Available for Trade]
A certificate appointing you to the Barony of Helioca. When used, it grants you the title of Baron of Helioca. However, if you use the certificate while already holding a title, it will cancel your existing title.
Merit required: 10 million
As expected, there was a certificate of honor on the fifth floor.
“No deal.”
Once Ming Hu realized that the title was not tradable, he looked away. If it was tradable, then it was a completely useless item to Ming Hu. He could always get the title of Baron if he spoke to Alkan.
The reason why Minghu did not accept the baronetcy, even though he could have, was because it would have been detrimental to him. There are certainly benefits to being a baron, but with the benefits come the responsibilities of being a noble.
“Unless you have the emperor’s seal.”
However, those who already bore the emperor’s mark were already entitled to its benefits, whether they became barons or not. Becoming a baron would only add to his duties as a nobleman. Ming Hu continued to check the information on the items on display.
<Helioca Nationality Certificate
You can change your nationality to Helioca when using it. If your nationality is already Helioca, you cannot use it.
Merit required: 7 million
.
.
<Certificate of admission to Helioca Knight School
A certificate of admission to the Helioca Knights' School in the capital city of Nexus, which, when redeemed, grants admission to the Helioca Knights' School.
Merit required: 4 million
After looking at all the items, Ming Hu looked at the Life Orb in his hand.
"That's it."
Ming Hu grabbed the Life Orb and approached the counter NPC again.
"I'll buy this."
"To purchase the Orb of Life, you'll need 15 million Merit, and if you do, you won't be able to purchase any other items for the rest of the day. Do you want to buy it?"
"Yes."
"Thank you for your purchase."
[Buying a life orb reduces your merit by 15 million].
Sigh
After purchasing the beads, Ming Hu descended to the fourth floor. Once down on the fourth floor, Ming Hu began to browse the armor. The selection of equipment was limited due to the stats, but Ming Hu was able to find some that he liked.
[1 million less Merit for purchasing Frost Armor].
[Buy Muneth's Gloves and lose 1.1 million Merit].
[Buying Santurce's shoes reduces his merit by 1.3 million].
After purchasing the equipment and finishing his business here, Ming Hu descended to the first floor to check the information on the equipment once more.

The shoes worn by Dado Santurth, you can use Blink at the cost of your life instead of mana.
After looking at the item’s information, Ming Hu closed the inventory and muttered to himself in disappointment.
“Too bad I didn’t change my pitch.”
I wanted to change my helmet, but I couldn’t. The lack of options also played a part, and I couldn’t give up the 500 health stats attached to the helmet. If I changed my helmet, I would also have to give up my frost armor. Of course, this could be solved by using elixirs, but Ming Hu couldn’t use elixirs. The elixirs had already been used.
“You get a merit badge. Only the one with the two-story hole!”
“Merits for sale. First floor items for sale!”
After exiting the exchange, Ming Hu walked toward the magic tower to purchase the materials needed to upgrade his OPG.
“I need…”
Ming Hu arrived at the tower a short time later and began purchasing the materials needed to upgrade it.
“That’s a lot of work.”
What Ming Hu was trying to create was a finished Ogre Power Gauntlet. The OPG he was currently wearing required three upgrades to create the finished Ogre Power Gauntlet, and three upgrades required a lot of materials. Of course, I never ran out of money or materials.
“Now let’s go build it!”
After purchasing the materials, Ming Hu left the magic tower and walked to the forge with a smile on his face. As Ming Hu made his way to the forge, he opened the crafting window to review the information on his finished Ogre Power Gauntlets.

“Hmph.”
Ming Hu smirked at the thought of creating the item and closed the crafting window. He opened his inventory, looked at the corpse of Lich Karot and the Life Orb, and muttered to himself.
“Of course… I’ll take care of these first.”
Entering the palace a short time later, Ming Hu was led to the large clearing where he had shown Karot’s body to the mages earlier.
Sigh
Arriving at the clearing, Ming Hu removed Karot’s corpse from his inventory and set it down. He then took the Life Orb and placed it on top of Karot.
[Do you want to use the Life Ball].
Soon a message appeared. Ming Hu pressed confirm, and the life orb began to enter Karot’s body.
Siaak
At the same time, Karot’s body disappeared and a message appeared.
[You have earned a rich carrot].
Ming Hu quickly opened his inventory. There was a Karot in his inventory. Ming Hu checked the information on the carrot.
[Untradeable]
When used, it will register Richie Carrot as a pet.
It was the same as in Prominus. Ming Hu immediately used Karot.
[We used Rich Carrot].
[Richie Carrott as a pet].
After checking the message, Ming Hu opened the pet window. Karot was nestled snugly in the slot next to Prominence. Ming Hu checked Karot’s information.
Name: Karot [Rich]
Level: 1
Power: 150
Agile: 100
Health: 250
Stamina: 500
Wisdom: 500
‘…also’
As expected, the level was 1. His equipment was also empty. Ming Hu checked the information on the Staff of Darkness that Karot had dropped earlier.
‘I’m 1,000 short of wit and wisdom…’
To wield the Staff of Darkness, Karotte needed to be a Wizard and have 1500 Wisdom and Strength, but she currently had 500 Wisdom and 500 Strength and not enough Wisdom to wield the staff, but that didn’t matter.
“I didn’t originally save it for her, but…”
Ming Hu looked at the piles of elixirs in his inventory.
