After some thought, Song Chi eventually decided against the idea of exchanging for the Titanium Crystal.
There were two reasons for this.
First, Golden Merit Points were hard to come by. As far as Song Chi knew, they could only be earned by completing quests associated with Fourth Rank lifeforms.
Alternatively, one could hand in Purple Quality or higher shipborne components, or extremely rare resources (such as Void Crystals, Titanium Crystals, medium-high Rank Life Crystals, space-based special resources, time-based special resources, and so on).
The stringent requirements for either of the aforementioned methods further proved how rare Golden Merit Points were.
Second, at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market there was a steady income of Titanium Crystals every month. Although each time it was only 50 pieces, the consistent, long-term yield meant that his annual income of Titanium Crystals would still be quite significant, as long as he wasn't in a hurry.
