Chapter 273
Lao Mo has done business with Qingxue many times, so they are old acquaintances.
However, Qingxue was not active in the forum. After being transferred to Store No. 6, he just said hello and never showed up again, nor did he participate in the doctrinal discussions between him and Chenxi.
Lao Mo almost forgot about her work in the store, but the next day she received an assessment task -
It is not him who is being assessed, but he is being asked to assess others.
You have joined the "Message Board (Assessment Channel)"
[You have been granted management privileges for the "Assessment Channel". You can add new members from the store channel to the channel, and remove or ban channel members.]
Congratulations! Triggering the Elite Mission "Examiner"
Mission Description: Your devotion to the God of Commerce and your profound understanding of its teachings have attracted the attention of a mysterious businessman, who has decided to hire you as an assessor for his other employees.
[Task content: Arrange a moral character test for the employee "Qingxue" and publish the test results on the assessment channel until the employee passes the test]
[Reward: Constitution Potion*1]
[Warm Tips: Physical conditioning medicine can cleanse the tendons and strengthen the body, but it has certain side effects and may cause diarrhea that lasts for several days. Please make relevant preparations in advance.]
To be honest, when I saw this message, Lao Mo was stunned for a while.
He never expected that he would be favored by the Lord God and be promoted to examiner!
Furthermore, the authority he was given was extremely broad, as neither the mission description nor the content mentioned any assessment criteria, which meant...
Does he have the final say in this ideological and moral test?
Lao Mo frowned and pondered, and after some speculation, he came to the conclusion -
This task seems to be a test of Qingxue's ideology and morality, but it is also a test for him.
He cannot be careless or even do whatever he wants just because the assessment criteria are not clearly stated in the task.
So today he handed over all the trading matters to Gan Lin, and concentrated on studying and deducing to make full preparations for this "ideological and moral test".
Since there are no assessment standards, then let’s do it according to his requirements for himself!
In fact, Lao Mo was not quite sure whether the God of Commerce really existed - the purpose and doctrine of the God of Commerce Religion were clearly made up by him, but now it seemed as if they existed.
But he knew that the "messenger of God" must be real.
Yin Guang, Wu Yue and Yao Ri, the three currently known messengers of God, all possess magical powers.
For example, when he was browsing the forum yesterday, he saw Qingxue's inquiry post -
What is the Guardian Barrier?
From this term, he keenly realized its function, but because the replies to paid posts were only visible to the original poster, Lao Mo also posted an anonymous paid post on the forum to inquire.
Then, he got an unexpected answer - the function of the protective barrier was much greater than he had imagined!
This certainly sounds like a divine act.
However, thinking of the various mysterious powers he had witnessed before, he calmed down again, and then couldn't help but start thinking -
How was he supposed to possess this protective barrier?
Although the number of believers has now grown to several thousand, Lao Mo is having increasingly trouble sleeping.
Because the fire dragon's active period has passed and it has begun to sleep, the fortress has reopened.
At least one-fifth of the people still alive outside the fortress were absorbed by him as believers, and this proportion is gradually increasing.
There is no reason why the people of Yanlong Castle would not know about the existence of this new force.
Lao Mo is sure that soon someone from the fortress will come to negotiate with them—
In fact, all the major gangs outside Yanlong Fort can only survive with the approval of the fortress. He has already understood this clearly from several gang leaders who have been absorbed into the fortress.
The branch of the Shangshen Sect that he now presides over is operating in a religious form that is expressly prohibited by the Fortress. It is developing so fast that it is hard to say whether the Fortress will maintain a friendly attitude towards them.
If we consider the worst-case scenario, then he, the leader of the branch sect, and Gan Lin, the "Holy Son", will be in great danger.
After all, everyone can see that if anything happens to the two of them, the newly established branch will definitely be doomed.
The wells, breadfruit trees and supplies in the warehouse will also be divided up by this group of believers after something happens to them.
Even though he has so many people under his command, Lao Mo doesn't trust any of them except Gan Lin, including Sha Zi and Luo Xiaolei who followed him at the beginning.
If they had this protective barrier, he and Gan Lin would not have to take turns keeping watch in order to sleep.
Although he posted an anonymous post and the replies were also anonymous, Lao Mo still inferred from the language habits that one of the respondents was Razor.
Razor had worked in Store No. 6 for a while. Although he was later transferred, he still had a good relationship with him and they even became friends.
So Lao Mo used private chat to ask indirectly and finally got the information he wanted -
Razor triggers the quest to build Ping An Grocery Store No. 9.
After being transferred from Store No. 6, he increased the popularity of the store by completing tasks, and not only gained the "protection of the God of Commerce", but also opened a protective barrier.
Lao Mo was drooling with envy.
If they could obtain the "protection of the God of Commerce" and activate the protective barrier, then he and Gan Lin would no longer have to live in fear every day like they do now.
However, he had been transferred to Store No. 6 for so long, but he still didn't know where Store No. 6 was, let alone how to activate the branch's protective barrier...
Of course, Lao Mo did not complain. He just felt that he was not pious and hardworking enough, so he did not receive such a gift.
He plans to restore his previous trading intensity to improve his performance.
As a result, the next day, I received the task of "examiner".
Lao Mo felt relieved instantly.
This is a promotion for him and also a sign of respect for him. Otherwise, he would not be given such an important position, let alone such a precious reward.
Constitution potion, the Lord God's Messenger had indeed taken him seriously and provided him with what he needed now—
Managing a church of several thousand people, ensuring that every believer behaves and ensures the safety of himself and Gan Lin, is a very energy-consuming and physically demanding task.
The most important thing is the burden and mental pressure that always weighs on my shoulders.
Lao Mo's foundation was not good to begin with, and he had once been on the verge of life and death due to hunger and thirst.
Although his food and living conditions had improved over the past few months, his health had not recovered much from the exhaustion he had put in every day.
Lao Mo could feel that his physical fitness was getting worse and worse. Otherwise, he would not have listened to Gan Lin and given up such high-intensity trading activities.
If he could get the physical potion, he might be able to live a few more years...
So after some careful preparation, Lao Mo tagged Qingxue in the store channel.
【Message Board (Shop Channel)】
[Qingxue]: Little Noisy, you're actually the one presiding over the assessment? That's great!
[Qingxue]: I need to pass the test quickly, otherwise many people may die. Considering our past friendship, can you be flexible?
Lao Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, so passing the assessment is a condition for Qingxue to obtain a certain ability?
He thought of the inquiry post Qingxue posted in the communication area about the "protective barrier", and then thought of Razor who had already activated the protective barrier.
Razor had also worked in Shop No. 6, and his attitude was much more serious than Qingxue's. He studied very seriously, was very respectful to him and Chenxi, and humbly asked many questions.
Lao Mo's expression became strange.
Could it be that...
Is accepting his and Chenxi's "influence" in store No. 6 one of the prerequisites for opening the protective barrier?
Thinking of this, Lao Mo shook his head again.
It should be unlikely, but when he is promoted to examiner, perhaps this position will really exist.
He began to edit his response.
【Message Board (Shop Channel)】
[Little Noise]: The gods are watching us, be careful with your words.
【Qingxue】: Okay...
[Little Noise]: So, are you ready to take the test?
Wen Qingqing looked at Xiao Chaonao's reply and felt a little uneasy. She usually browsed forums and message boards, and automatically filtered out information that she felt was useless.
For example, the debates between Xiao Chaonao and Chenxi were so weird that it was really a headache to watch.
This ideological and moral test wouldn't be related to those things, right?
but……
[Qingxue]: If I fail the first time, will I have a second chance?
[Little Noise]: Yes, until you pass.
After hearing this, Wen Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Qingxue]: Okay, what is the format of the test?
[Little Noise]: I ask questions and you answer them.
[Little Noise]: I will give you points. If you can't answer, you can choose to skip it.
[Qingxue]: Okay, let’s get started.
[Little Noise]: First question, what is the purpose of the Shangshen Cult...
Thus, the first administrator test of the Shangshen Sect began.
Just as Lao Mo said, Tang Yu'an was indeed paying attention to the test and paying attention to Lao Mo's questions and Wen Qingqing's answers.
Although Wen Qingqing doesn't show up much, she still remembers basic knowledge such as the company's mission and employee code of conduct.
So the previous questions can all be answered.
However, when Lao Mo continued to go deeper and asked about the purpose, employee code of conduct, etc. separately, Wen Qingqing's answers became slower and slower.
By the end, not to mention Wen Qingqing, even Tang Yu'an was sweating profusely.
He quickly wrote down the questions and prepared to study them carefully.
By the time she finished the last question, Wen Qingqing was already dizzy and collapsed on the table, with messy draft papers scattered around her.
[Little Noise]: Do I need to tell you the test results?
【Qingxue】：QAQ
Qingxue: Can you tell me the answer? I will study hard.
[Little Noise]: Rote memorization doesn't work.
[Qingxue]: I will understand with all my heart!
[Little Noise]: Not bad.
Seeing Xiao Chaonao start to explain to her, Wen Qingqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect that the friend who was so easy to talk to when doing business before would be so scary after becoming an examiner! I'm really tired of it QAQ
However, perhaps it is because of Xiao Chaonao's spirit of research that he was able to achieve such a high position in the Shangshen Sect at such a young age?
Wen Qingqing finally adjusted her mindset and began to truly study.
On the other hand, Lao Mo also released Wen Qingqing's first test results on the assessment channel, which was regarded as a report to the messenger of God.
【Message Board (Assessment Channel)】
[Little Noise]: Employee "Qingxue", initial assessment score: morality 80, ideology 30 (out of 100), assessment result: failed.
Lao Mo felt that Wen Qingqing was a good person, but her understanding of the teachings of the Shangshen Religion was not enough and she needed to continue learning.
After he finished sending it, he was about to continue explaining the problem to Wen Qingqing. Anyway, he had to stay up late in the first half of the night, so this was a good opportunity to relieve his boredom. But then he saw -
【Message Board (Assessment Channel)】
[Mysterious Merchant-Silver Light]: Not bad.
Lao Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong because of his old eyesight.
Could it be that the messenger of God is really paying attention to them?
And then the next moment——
Congratulations! Completed the Elite Mission "Examiner"
[Reward: Constitution Potion +1]
【Please select the delivery method...】
Lao Mo quickly chose to accept it, and saw that the physical medicine was placed in an insulated box. Inside the box, you could see a bowl.
A fragrance filled the air, making him swallow his saliva.
This constitution potion...why does it look like a dish?
But hadn't Qingxue passed the assessment yet? How could he be considered to have completed his mission?
Just as he was about to ask, he saw a new message pop up on the message board.
【Message Board (Assessment Channel)】
[Mysterious Merchant - Silver Light]: Take it after getting enough rest, or you will become exhausted.
Are you talking about the side effects of the physical fitness potion?
[Little Noise]: Okay, okay, thank you Lord Yinguang for your concern!
Lao Mo replied like this, but in his heart he was thinking about how to inquire about the protective barrier, when he saw...
[Mysterious Merchant - Yin Guang]: I will go to Yanlong Castle in a while, so you should be prepared in advance.
When Lao Mo saw this message, his hands holding the incubator began to tremble, and his whole body couldn't help shaking with excitement.
Is the Lord God's Messenger coming?
[Little Noisy]: When is it? What should I prepare? What do you need? Fire Stone?
[Mysterious Merchant-Silver Light]: Just take care of yourself.
Lao Mo was stunned.
[Little Noise]: OK, OK
Lao Mo accidentally sent the message before he finished speaking. Before he could continue to thank him, he saw another message from Yin Guang.
[Mysterious Merchant - Silver Light]: Send someone to find a dried-up lake or a low-lying area.
[Mysterious Merchant-Silver Light]: When the time comes, I will give you an oasis.
