Mechanics
Moral Assessment
Heavenly Eye displays an individual’s Good and Evil Points alongside their identity and current thoughts. Positive, zero, and negative values distinguish people with different moral records; small negative values do not automatically identify someone as thoroughly wicked 1 4.
| Value or Range | Documented Meaning | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | A displayed zero value; no further moral explanation is given. | Liu Laonian 1 |
| +3 to +6 | Ordinary people who have done neither great good nor great evil. | Fifteen Special Operations Squad recruits 30 |
| Positive values | Associated with protective, patriotic, or conscientious conduct. | Old Chen: +10; Zhou Deshun: +18; Fang Yuan: +38; Su Wan: +72; Li Zhen: +85 1 4 5 30 47 |
| −3 to −8 | Gray values associated with petty wrongdoing, including shirking duties, bullying civilians, and taking extra money. | Most patrolmen at morning roll call 4 |
| Larger negative values | Associated with serious wrongdoing and higher-value punishment targets. | Wang Panghai: −26; Li Kui: −32; Scarface Liu: −60 1 4 6 |
| −1,000 | Explicitly attributed to participation in the invasion of China and suppression of anti-Japanese forces. | Kuroiwa Masao 24 |
| −2,000 | Li Shiqun’s displayed assessment as a senior No. 76 official and traitor. | Li Shiqun 49 |
- Identity matters more than outward affiliation: Fang Yuan is a positively rated underground Party member serving in the puppet police, while Liu Changhe is a negatively rated Japanese agent embedded in the Anti-Japanese United Army 30 47.
- A target’s rating and Shen Yan’s balance are separate displays: Su Wan retains her +72 assessment when encountered again, despite Shen Yan already having received 72 points for protecting her 3 10.
Reward Currency
The system credits Shen Yan for actions it judges to punish evil, protect others, or obstruct enemy operations 3 4 17.
- Protecting good people: Helping Su Wan escape earns 72 points, matching her displayed positive value 1 3.
- Punishing evildoers: Killing Wang Panghai earns 26 points, matching the magnitude of his −26 assessment. Defeating Scarface Liu earns 60 points without killing him 3 6.
- Nonlethal punishment: Repeated blows can produce small awards such as +1, +2, or +3. Killing a target is not required to earn points 4.
- Mission bonuses: Rewards can include additional points beyond those earned from individual targets 6 10 17.
- Indirect protection: Intercepting intelligence earns points for anti-Japanese personnel protected from a planned purge, including Communists, Military Statistics Bureau agents, and Green Gang members 17.
- Clone operations: Shen Yan receives points from the arsenal attack carried out through his clone 33 34.
Point Farming
- At the teahouse, protecting a performer earns 25 points. Shen Yan then discovers that continuing to beat the three attackers yields 33 additional points, until the notifications stop 4.
- His campaign against local criminals eventually drives illicit operators out of the West District, temporarily eliminating his nearby source of points 10.
- During Japanese training, he repeatedly earns points by defeating trainees in combat 27.
- When he has only 2,967 of the 3,000 points required for master-level combat, he makes up the shortfall by slapping his four roommates 28.
