As time passed, Long Haochen’s meticulousness began to show its advantages. As the leader, he naturally had to think about things more than his teammates.

“The second thing is more important to everyone. I want to discuss it with you properly. Although we haven’t explored yet, judging from the battle just now, I, Caier, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan should have earned the most merit points. However, in terms of team contribution, Han Yu, Lin Xin, and Ying’er have also contributed a lot. But the merit points we’ve earned are unevenly distributed. I think the strength of a team isn’t just about individual improvement. Improving overall strength is the most important thing. And merit points are related to our future advancement. If only those of us who are fighting in the front earn more merit points, while our support partners always can’t increase their merit points, it’s not fair to them. Moreover, what if our partners get injured in the future and need to recuperate for a while, making them unable to earn merit points at all? Will they fall behind because of this? This problem is something we must face, and it’s better to come up with countermeasures sooner rather than later. Everyone, please share your opinions.”

This was the most important thing Long Haochen wanted to say. There were only two main ways to obtain merit points: completing tasks issued by the Demon Hunt Mission Tower and hunting demons. Undoubtedly, the latter was the simplest and most direct. In the next three months, they would all have to obtain merit points through this method. If the different roles in the team affected the acquisition of merit points, even if the support partners didn’t say anything, they wouldn’t feel good about it.

This time, Caier, who rarely spoke, spoke first, “My opinion is the same as Haochen’s. His decision is my decision.”

Caier’s position as vice-leader was actually equivalent to nothing, but no one dared to ignore her opinion. Whether facing the Emerald Double-Blade Demon or the Beta Flying Demon, she delivered the killing blow every time. Long Haochen was the backbone of the team, and she was the sharpest weapon of the team.

Sima Xian chuckled and said, “Leader, I was just about to propose this to you. With Brother Yao always responsible for defense in the back, that guy doesn’t even know how to attack. If we don’t think of a way, how will he earn any merit points? I don’t have any objections. Merit points are good, but killing demons is what I like most.”

Wang Yuanyuan also nodded and said, “Baldy is right, we are a team, a whole. Haochen, tell us how to handle it. Let’s set a rule and just follow it from now on. I only have one requirement: try to ensure fairness for everyone.”

On this matter, Han Yu naturally wouldn’t express any opinions. He was Long Haochen’s squire, and he was also mainly responsible for support. Lin Xin and Chen Yinger naturally didn’t have much to say either. Everyone’s eyes focused on Long Haochen again.

Long Haochen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, “I’ve indeed thought about this before. Sister Yuanyuan is right, we are a whole. My opinion is very simple: gather all the merit points and divide them equally among everyone. If someone makes a particularly significant contribution to the team, then the other partners will jointly contribute merit points as a reward. Equal distribution will also include injured members.”

Equal distribution? Hearing these two words, everyone’s expressions immediately changed. Wang Yuanyuan was a little surprised, Sima Xian was impressed, Lin Xin revealed gratitude, and Chen Yinger couldn’t wait to shout, “Long live the leader!” Although she had also summoned the Iron-Arm Demon Bear to participate in the battle, that guy was too clumsy and was torn apart by the demons before they retreated. The number of Double-Blade Demons she actually killed was not many, and the merit points she earned were estimated to be only a little over ten, which was only because the first ten Double-Blade Demons each had a point of merit.

“Master, I cannot be included.” At this time, Han Yu spoke up.

Long Haochen was stunned, “Why?”

Han Yu said calmly, “I am your squire. Moreover, when calculating team merit points, I cannot be included in the team. It will affect the promotion of the entire team. As your squire, serving you is what I should do. Besides, under the effect of the squire contract, I have already received a lot of benefits, so how can I ask for everyone’s merit points again?”

Since learning more and more about Long Haochen, Han Yu now placed his position very correctly. It was no wonder he did so. With the help of the squire contract, his innate spiritual power had increased to a height of eighty points. From sixty to eighty, it seemed like an increase of only a little over twenty percent, but in reality, he clearly felt that his cultivation speed had increased by a factor of one. The perception and understanding of the light element were much stronger than before. Having already obtained so many benefits, he naturally wouldn’t ask for anything else.

“No. You are the protector. No matter what squire, you fought with everyone, and everyone has seen your contribution. If it’s equal distribution, then everyone will be distributed together, otherwise I won’t accept it either.”

This was said by Lin Xin. He immediately expressed his support for Han Yu. For the entire team, Lin Xin’s biggest role at present was in the aspect of making pills. And Han Yu’s role was even greater. He chose to learn healing skills to compensate for the lack of a true priest, and he was also secure in the rear guarding and assisting. And there was his demonic beast partner, the Evil Eye. With Han Yu’s strength, changing to a new Demon Hunt Squad, he would definitely be in the position of a core knight. But now he was steadfastly doing support work in the Soldier Grade Number One Demon Hunt Squad. Everyone saw everything he did.

“That’s right, if we distribute, we will distribute together. Big Brother Han Yu, we are a family.” Chen Yinger waved her little fist, she benefited the most from Han Yu. After completing the summoning of the Gate of Life, Han Yu had been guarding her side every step of the way, fearing that she would be hurt in any way. The little girl saw everything.

Sima Xian laughed loudly and said, “Well said, if we distribute, we will distribute together. At the very least, my merit points must be distributed to you. With you here, I have less complaining! Just do as the leader says, equal distribution of merit points. Come, let’s distribute mine first.” As he said that, he directly rolled up his sleeves.

Wang Yuanyuan shrugged her shoulders and said, “I have no objections. Merit points are all just fleeting clouds. Haochen, you make the decision.”

Long Haochen smiled and looked at Han Yu, “You’ve heard it all. I don’t need to say much, right? That’s how it’s decided, this is an order, no objections are valid.”

Han Yu, who originally wanted to say something, finally took back what he wanted to refuse when he heard Long Haochen’s last sentence. He pursed his lips, he didn’t say any words of gratitude, but there was something more in the depths of his eyes. A man, proving with practical actions is better than spouting nonsense.

Long Haochen took out the Merit Point Testing Gem, which was bright yellow and hexagonal.

He pulled up his sleeves, revealing the Merit Token. He injected a little spiritual power into it, and the circular Merit Token immediately lit up. Long Haochen attached the gem to it, and his merit points were quickly revealed.

“Forty-seven.” This was all the merit points he had earned in the battle just now. He had already spent all the merit points he was rewarded during the competition. Almost all the demons Long Haochen killed were Double-Blade Demons. These merit points also included Haoyue’s achievements. A total of about three hundred and eighty Double-Blade Demons were killed in about an hour of battle.

Caier took the initiative to stretch her arm to Long Haochen, “Transfer mine away.” Through the Merit Point Testing Gem, as long as the testee agreed, the merit points could be transferred directly.

Spiritual power was injected, and the Merit Token on Caier’s white lotus-like arm glowed. Long Haochen attached the Merit Gem to it, and his arm was attached to the other side.

“Twenty-five.” This was Caier’s merit point number, and it was transferred to Long Haochen’s Merit Token in the next moment.

It should be known that Caier only killed two demons in total, the Emerald Double-Blade Demon and the Beta Flying Demon. The Emerald Double-Blade Demon was worth ten merit points, and the Beta Flying Demon, which could fly, was as high as fifteen merit points. It could be seen that high-level demons contributed more merit points.

Next, everyone transferred their merit points to Long Haochen.

Wang Yuanyuan had thirty-six merit points, and Sima Xian had thirty-one. It should be known that neither of them had demonic beast assistance. These numbers were earned by themselves.

Chen Yinger had eleven points, and Han Yu also picked up three or four kills. Lin Xin naturally gained nothing.

Long Haochen had the most merit points, almost all of which were due to Haoyue’s credit. The three heads jointly released magic, and the remote lethality was powerful.

In the end, the total merit points of everyone added up to one hundred and forty-three points. Averaging it out, each person had twenty merit points, and the remaining three points were temporarily stored with Long Haochen for distribution next time.

“Cultivation, cultivation, I want to break through to the fifth rank sooner so I can learn a lot of skills.” Sima Xian shouted, directly went to his bed, sat cross-legged and started cultivating directly.

The others also returned to their beds. Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Yinger tidied up the small house they temporarily built. Although it was simple, it could at least block the sight of others.

Long Haochen held Caier’s hand and returned to their “home.”

“Let’s cultivate too,” Caier said softly. After speaking, she sat cross-legged on the bed inside and started cultivating.

Long Haochen was slightly stunned, and felt a little lost in his heart. He really liked the feeling of holding Caier.

“Silly, cultivation is the most important thing. We, we later…” Caier’s voice was as faint as a mosquito in his ears. Because the last few words were so soft, even Long Haochen’s good hearing couldn’t hear them clearly.

Long Haochen sat down beside her, gently touched her hair, felt the fragrant breath emanating from Caier, sat cross-legged, and started cultivating.
