Chapter 25

In this regard, the Law specifically explained a special situation to Ye Feng. There are two types of merit points: one-time acquisition and continuous acquisition. Simply put, if Ye Feng does a good deed and directly participates in it, and people know that the good deed was done by Ye Feng, as long as people are grateful to Ye Feng for one day, Ye Feng will receive merit points every day. If Ye Feng does a good deed and the recipient only thanks him for one day or once, then Ye Feng can only get the corresponding merit points once. If they continue to be grateful to Ye Feng for a year, then Ye Feng can receive the corresponding merit points every day for that year.

For example, if Ye Feng eliminates Dao Ge, he can obtain 10 merit points from the people Dao Ge once bullied. However, since they do not know that Dao Ge was eliminated by Ye Feng, the merit points can only be obtained once. Conversely, if they know that Dao Ge was eliminated by Ye Feng and they are grateful to him for one day, then Ye Feng can continuously receive 10 merit points every day.

Specifically, actions like helping an old lady cross the street can also earn merit points, but because such actions are too simple and easy, it's like soul points; doing it ten times will only earn one merit point. Merit points do not have a specific quantification standard; it depends on the difficulty of the good deed and the degree of gratitude from the recipient. The Law will determine the corresponding merit points based on these two factors.

Regarding the charm points among the four values, Ye Feng also took this opportunity to consult the Law, and the answer he received left him both helpless and yearning.

He felt helpless because charm points can only be obtained from women, and they must be young and beautiful. Ordinary, ugly, old, or young girls do not count; only women between the ages of sixteen and forty are eligible.

The only way to obtain charm points is to make a beautiful woman fall in love with Ye Feng. It must be love, not just liking; only genuine love will do.

The yearning is not because Ye Feng particularly wants the love of beautiful women, but because the standards and methods for obtaining charm points seem quite peculiar, yet the benefits are enormous once obtained.

If a beautiful woman falls in love with him, he can obtain 100 charm points. It might not seem high, considering that making a beautiful woman fall in love with him is not an easy task. However, once a beautiful woman falls in love with him, as long as she loves him for one day, Ye Feng can receive 100 charm points every day.

This is quite shocking to Ye Feng. Compared to merit points, which can also be obtained daily, the gratitude from people can last for one day, two days, a month, or even a year, but it is not necessarily continuous. Today they might be grateful, but tomorrow they might forget. Moreover, making someone grateful to him for a lifetime is extremely difficult.

Charm points are different. If a beautiful woman falls in love with him and marries him, he can receive 100 charm points every day for life, unless the woman leaves him and falls in love with another man.

Even more peculiar and ironic is that there is another special way to obtain charm points. If a beautiful woman voluntarily has sex with him, and if she is a virgin, he can obtain 50,000 charm points at once. If she is not a virgin, he can obtain 30,000 charm points. However, the prerequisite is that it must be a beautiful woman and it must be voluntary.

This is why Ye Feng felt ironic and helpless. The number of charm points obtained in this way is very tempting, but he must be able to achieve it.

At this moment, the image of Tianyuan Zhenxian in Ye Feng's mind dropped a notch. Ye Feng suspected that Tianyuan Zhenxian must have been a womanizer in his youth, with many women, and he must have been particularly fond of chasing women. Otherwise, why would he set such a peculiar rule and law?

Ye Feng's current troubles are still unresolved, and he has no mood to deal with romantic matters. The emotional blow from Liu Meimei still haunts him, making him resistant to women and emotions.

Putting aside his杂念, Ye Feng climbed onto the high platform and began to practice, focusing on advancing his cultivation. Currently, his second stage progress has reached 94%, and he only needs 6% more to reach the initial full realm of the second stage, which will allow him to advance to the middle stage of the second stage.

In fact, Ye Feng now has 25 soul points, 5 evil points, and 10 merit points. He could easily reach the full realm by using one merit point or one evil point, but he doesn't want to waste them. With just 6% left, he can reach 100% in a few days of normal practice.

As the real time outside the space approached the morning wake-up time, Ye Feng ended his practice, detached his consciousness from the space, and returned to his body.

With the increase in divine sense and mental power, Ye Feng no longer feels mentally exhausted after a night of practice; instead, he feels refreshed and excited.

Over the next two days, Ye Feng seized every opportunity to collect soul points and practice. By the morning of the next Monday, he finally advanced his total progress to 100%, reaching the initial full realm of the second stage.

After breaking through the initial stage of the second stage, Ye Feng's physical functions did not improve significantly, but his mental power and divine sense increased. His divine sense range expanded to about 300 square meters, and his mental power improved, allowing him to sense soul points within a range of about 2,500 square meters.

Ye Feng was relatively satisfied with this.

So far, Ye Feng has accumulated 78 soul points, with 10 merit points and 5 evil points unchanged. As for charm points, he still has 0.

Around 8:00 AM, as before, the police at the detention center escorted Ye Feng out of the detention area and handed him over to the court officers, who then took him to the court.

In the court's holding room, he saw his mother again and noticed that she looked more haggard, but her complexion was still rosy, indicating that Qin Yan had taken good care of her.

Ye Feng was very grateful to Qin Yan for this. She had no obligation to take care of the mother of a murder suspect, even if he was her client. Her actions showed that Qin Yan was a kind woman, at least a woman with compassion and human warmth.

Zhu Zi and a group of his coworkers also took leave to come to the court, and this time, even Ye Feng's foreman came.

The foreman, Du Lijun, was a local from Mingzhu, a middle-aged, fat man in his forties with a somewhat fierce appearance but a good heart. He had never owed Ye Feng and his coworkers their wages over the years.

As a middleman between the engineering boss and the workers, to put it in modern terms, Foreman Du Lijun was like their agent. If he had owed the workers their wages or often discriminated against and abused them, they would not have followed him for so many years.

When Du Lijun saw Ye Feng in the holding room, his expression was somewhat complicated, as if he had something to say to Ye Feng, but in the end, he only patted Ye Feng's shoulder, sighed, and left without saying a word.

Ye Feng could sense that he had something to say, perhaps because the occasion was not right, so he couldn't speak. Ye Feng could even guess what he wanted to say, but regardless, it was enough that the foreman came to see him.

As a migrant worker at the bottom of society, Ye Feng's identity suddenly changed from a worker to a murderer overnight. His familiar coworkers might believe him, but with such a large construction site and so many workers, not everyone would believe or understand him. Many would have doubts and spread rumors that would be detrimental to him.

As a foreman, Du Lijun might trust his workers, but his trust was conditional. After all, he was not the real boss; he was also a worker. If the real boss learned about Ye Feng's situation and said a few bad things about him, Du Lijun would have no choice but to dismiss Ye Feng.

Sure enough, what Zhu Zi said next confirmed Ye Feng's suspicions.

Zhu Zi said, "Ye Feng, the big boss knows about your situation. He didn't say much, but his daughter happened to be with him when he inspected the construction site. When she heard about your situation, she made Du Foreman very embarrassed, saying that a murderer was hidden in his construction team, which was very dangerous and brought a lot of negative impact to the company. She told him to reorganize the team, and the big boss seemed to listen to his daughter. He immediately dismissed you, saying that your wages would be settled later and given to your family. What does a little girl know? She just has a rich father. Don't be discouraged, Ye Feng. Mingzhu is a big city; you won't have trouble finding a job when you get out. As they say, if one place doesn't accept you, there will be another place that will."

Ye Feng smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat disappointed but not thinking it was a big deal. He didn't say anything, as he had expected this outcome. He just didn't expect it to happen so quickly, just before he was about to clear his name.
