Just like what Captain Su said, earning enough Merit Points is the only way to advance one's citizenship status. Even comprehending advanced Heavenly Destiny, or being a direct disciple of Buddhist Sect or Soul Division won't help you get anywhere without Merit Points.
It seems that, in Tianli City, Merit Points are the foundation of everything. The system is fair and impartial, and no one can take advantage of any special privileges.
Of course, these are just the official regulations. In reality, Merit Points may well be traded under the table; as long as you find the right channels and have sufficient wealth, obtaining citizenship is a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan glanced towards the directory for citizens' contribution registration.
Tier-5 Citizens: 1 Contribution Value.
Tier-4 Citizens: 10 Contribution Values.
Tier-3 Citizens: 100 Contribution Values.
Tier-2 Citizens: 1,000 Contribution Values.
Tier-1 Citizens: 10,000 Contribution Values.
