Chapter 50
"Are you the half-blood who was favored by the Demon God last night?"
Early the next morning, someone came to Ramo's house.
Ramo nodded nervously, looking at the black-robed wizard in front of him, wondering why he came to see him. The black-robed wizard looked him up and down, and handed him a bag of red and green things:
"This is a convenience gift from the Demon God... In short, it is a kind of pasta. Open it and pour the contents of the package into the pot. Boil it in boiling water for three minutes and you can eat it."
Ramo's family was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank the great wizard.
"Don't thank me, thank yourselves," the black-robed wizard waved his hand, "The devil can tell whether the believers' faith is sincere or not. By the way, are you the only underage child in your family?"
It was the first time that Ramo was called a "child" by a wizard. You know, before this, ordinary and skinny half-bloods like them were not even worthy of being used as experimental materials in the eyes of the wizards.
"And my brother," he replied.
The black-robed wizard looked at Brother Ramo, who was standing behind him with an uneasy look on his face, and nodded, "Then let your brother come with me."
"Okay, okay." Ramo's brother responded immediately, but couldn't help asking, "Um... can I ask what you want to talk to me about, sir?"
"The foreman in the city is unwilling to start the work," the black-robed wizard said calmly, "so we are going to change people."
The whole family was stunned, and then a wave of ecstasy surged into their hearts——
Being able to become a foreman is really great news!
The Ramo family never dreamed that they could have a foreman. This not only means that the quality of life of the whole family will be improved, but also means that they have been protected by the forces under the command of the demon god!
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir..."
After sending off the devil's messenger with many thanks and calming down a little, Ramo's family began to prepare food for the morning.
They followed the steps given by the envoy and put all the seasonings and noodles into the boiling water. The originally dry food suddenly gave off a fragrant aroma. Not only their family, but even their neighbors couldn't help but stick their heads out of the door. The greed of people on the whole street made their stomachs growl.
"This is a gift from the Demon Lord!"
Ramo introduced it to them proudly.
He was not worried at all that someone would come and snatch the food, because Ramo knew that those guys would not dare to do so, for fear of angering the demon god. Ramo's parents had just discussed and were ready to erect a statue of the demon god at home. From now on, their family would be the most devout believers of the demon god!
"After taking the medicine last night, my sister's illness has gradually improved," the father looked at the boiling noodles in the pot with great joy. The hot steam was just like his current mood. "Our family's life will definitely get better and better in the future!"
After the noodles were cooked, Ramo was also given a bowl. He took a sip of the soup first. The boiling hot instant noodle soup almost made him jump up, but the fragrance exploding on the tip of his tongue also made Ramo dizzy.
How can it be so delicious!
The other races watching could no longer bear the smell. At this moment, a loud broadcast spread throughout the city:
"From today on, we will resume production. We will distribute new currencies in the city. You can go to a special exchange location to exchange them with magic crystals. You can also get paid through labor work and exchange them for food and various daily necessities..."
The crowd dispersed immediately, but some stayed, hoping to take over the work from Ramo's brother when he came back.
The originally lifeless city regained its vitality under the rising sun, and the streets and alleys were full of people busy looking for jobs. Seeing this scene, even if the fallen mages hiding in the dark were unwilling, they could no longer change the overall situation.
“It smells so good.”
Inside the tower, several people who were also waiting for breakfast were staring at the noodles in the pot.
Compared to Ramo's family, the special forces team certainly eats richer food, with a combination of meat and vegetables. The instant noodles contain not only luncheon meat, eggs and chicken breast meatballs to supplement protein, but also vegetables and tomatoes to supplement vitamins. At first glance, it looks as rich as a hot pot.
"Isn't it bad to eat this so early in the morning?"
Even though he said this, Yaroslav couldn't help swallowing.
Although instant noodles are not very nutritious, for young people, especially those who are hungry, they are definitely more delicious than any abalone or lobster.
Yi Yan first served Gu Liangyi a bowl, and received a "thank you" from the young man. When he stretched his chopsticks into the pot again, he found that there were only a few green leaves floating on the soup.
Yi Yan: “…………”
"Boss, your selfless spirit really touched us..." Zhuge Xiao was sweating as he ate a bowl of noodles. "But the dining table is like a battlefield. You can't be so careless. Wait for the next batch."
The Demon Lord, who was sitting on a small stool and sipping noodles with his head down, couldn't help but laughed out loud without any conscience.
"I'll give you some." He looked up and said.
"No, I can just order another pack. It won't take a few minutes."
While unpacking the instant noodles, Yi Yan casually mentioned something: "Has your mana increased recently?"
"Well, it seems a little bit."
Gu Liangyi asked You again and got a positive reply.
Gu Liangyou sat cross-legged at the dining table in the world of consciousness. In front of him was a sumptuous meal, but no matter whether it was steak or cream of mushroom soup, they would taste like instant noodles after entering his mouth.
So he lost interest after a few bites, snapped his fingers, and lazily conjured up a picture of a blue sky, white clouds, and a beach. He then lay on a recliner and said to the main personality, "I think the demon god can't wait any longer. If this continues, I'll drain out all his resources, not to mention recovery."
Gu Liangyi slightly modified the wording and told others what You said.
"It seems that the migration of faith will indeed have an impact on your strength," Yi Yan nodded, and then asked, "Did you know that a church has been built for you on Earth?"
Gu Liangyi dropped the half-eaten noodles back into the bowl.
He slowly widened his eyes, his expression a little dull:
"……What?"
"I know that too!" Zhuge Xiao said with a smile. He choked on the soup because he was in such a hurry to speak. He coughed for a long time before continuing, "It seems to be called the Devil God Savior Church. Our school's Savior Support Group also changed its name because of this. At that time, the club leader also said that if we can't find a job when we return to Earth, we can join the church to preach and make a living."
He patted Gu Liangyi's back vigorously: "In the future, our entire grade's employment rate will depend on you, Master!"
Gu Liangyi: “…………”
"No, that's not it." He put down his chopsticks and tried to figure out the matter. "What's going on? Why did they establish this church?"
The most important thing is, why did he, the person involved, only know about it now?
Zhuge Xiao pondered for a moment: "This is a long story..."
This matter is actually related to the command center.
"These are religious associations related to Gu Liangyi collected from all over the world." The person in charge stood in front of the projection and introduced to a group of leaders sitting upright below, "There are a total of 367. After selection, we have picked out seven religions with relatively large scales and beliefs that are relatively in line with the needs of modern civilization. You can take a look at their introductions first."
There was a rustling sound of pages turning.
A leader from China questioned: "So, do we have to choose one to support? Why does it have to be this kind of feudal superstition?"
Hearing this, several North American religious representatives next to him immediately sat up straight and glared at him.
"Because the birth of a demon god requires faith," the person in charge said, "and we suspect that faith will also determine the personality of a god."
"What do you mean?"
The person in charge said in a deep voice: "Think about it carefully, everyone. Was the demon god from another world always so cruel from the beginning? Or did he gradually lose himself in the process of researching and collecting beliefs, and was assimilated into a real demon god by the local natives who feared him?"
This idea made many people present look shocked and worried. Everyone whispered to each other. Obviously, no one could accept that Gu Liangyi, as a representative of human civilization, had lost his original heart and become an incarnation of fear and cruelty. In that case, what was the use of having power?
"Although we haven't found any forces in the other world that can threaten human civilization so far," the person in charge cleared his throat and raised his voice, "we must not take it lightly. Things like the principle of the death row slave mark and the ability of the elven priests to enable non-native speakers to instantly master a new language are both inexplicable with the current level of science."
"That's why the special operations team has been working hard to establish a good image for the demon god in the city during this period," the person in charge paused and continued, "At the same time, we must also ensure that the foundation of Gu Liangyi's faith is always on Earth."
"Even if we put these premises aside, leaders, don't you think that there are too many weird and chaotic things around the world that are using the name of Gu Liang?"
That's true.
Since the live broadcast began, Gu Liangyi's image around the world has gradually become another version of "Superman", especially when he is not on Earth.
This is probably the difference between the fan fiction and the original work. People around Gu Liangyi think he is kind and considerate. Putting aside his special identity, he is just a shy and easy-going classmate.
But in the eyes of many people on Earth, Gu Liangyi is simply the reincarnation of Jesus, the Holy Father who came down to earth to save all living beings.
On the Internet, some people clamored to write a book or biography for him, some drew cartoons about his daily life, and large companies rushed to register trademarks related to him and donated money to the junior and senior high schools that Gu Liangyi attended.
In order to attract attention, many internet celebrities have even publicly declared that they are willing to marry him with all their wealth - including many male internet celebrities.
For this reason, although Gu Liangyi only has a few pieces of clothes in his wardrobe, each of the same style has become a best-seller all over the world. So are the snacks he has eaten, the things he has used... his every move is imitated by countless people.
It can be said that even the world-class superstars at that time did not receive such treatment.
Fanatical pursuit will produce religious-like groups, and both governments and old religious churches would be happy to take this opportunity to clean up a wave of emerging churches that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Because everyone knows that it is better to unblock than to block. As long as the Tianmu Live Broadcast does not disappear, Gu Liangyi's influence on the world will only deepen.
In this case, it would be better to let them support an official church to manage it themselves.
After weighing the pros and cons, they made their choice.
When the founder of the Demon God Savior Church was brought to the headquarters, he was in a dazed state.
He is just an ordinary programmer. He founded this religion just because he saw a funny comment on the Internet.
"I'm so annoyed. Why are you arguing? If this is the case, why don't you just merge?"
At that time, there was already a Savior Church on the Internet, but because of Gu Liang's second personality, they were fighting with the Demon God Church, which had just been established and was growing rapidly. Many netizens were fed up with this, so he suddenly had an idea and simply founded a Demon God Savior Church.
Who would have thought that on the first day this church was established, countless people applied to join, and at one point the website he casually registered was blocked.
The programmer never expected this result, but the matter was done. Even if he wanted to cancel his account, it was too late. He didn't want to be scolded by hundreds of thousands of people, so he had to bite the bullet and continue:
Buy servers, recruit management personnel, set religious rules, recruit believers...
In the end, he simply couldn't continue his main job, but the money he earned from attracting investment and advertising on the church website was enough to cover a year's salary. So the programmer gritted his teeth, quit his job, and became a full-time church leader, striving to spread the glory of the leader throughout the world.
But until that time, he had never imagined that the scale of this church would eventually develop into the fourth largest religion in the world.
He only knew that the website was full of talented people, each of them was talented, spoke well, and most of them were young people: there were people studying simultaneous interpretation, an accountant who had just been released from a three-year prison sentence for taking the blame for his boss, an outstanding graduate of the Desert University who had just returned from a business trip in the desert, and some foreign friends who tried hard to overcome language and time difference problems and actively communicated with them.
The programmer was moved by these enthusiastic young people. He felt that he was not founding a church but more like forming an interest group.
He would share screenshots of Tianmu Live with these friends in the forum, share interesting things that happened every day in Moda, and encourage each other to help those church members who suffered losses due to disasters...
It is precisely because of this pure passion that many companies approached him to support the development of the church, but he rejected them all.
"That's why we chose you, Mr. Wu."
Lu Lang shook his hand vigorously and said with a smile: "Among the founders who rely on their followers to make money and gain fame and fortune, you are a breath of fresh air!"
The programmer named Wu Junlang shook his hand back with a flattered look on his face: "No, no, thank you for the compliment, Minister Lu."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "I wonder what you want me to do?"
"The country and the headquarters have high hopes for you, Comrade Wu," Lu Lang said forcefully. "Next, we will help your church carry out public publicity. The specific publicity content involves various aspects, and the five permanent members will participate in it. Do you understand the meaning of this?"
Wu Junlang was dumbfounded, his expression was exactly the same as Gu Liangyi's when he first heard the news:
"ah???"
"To put it simply," Zhuge Xiao clapped his hands and concluded, "the country has ordered this Mr. Wu to preach around the world, and all countries have agreed. This is to expand your influence, and also to prevent you from being backfired by your faith and becoming like that ugly mummy demon."
Gu Liangyi: "...I don't think I will."
"We certainly don't think you would, but it makes sense for the headquarters to worry so much. We can only plan ahead," Yan Beichen finished the last sip of soup and sighed comfortably, "and you don't want someone on Earth to do something messy under your name, right? They are now starting to build statues and give you titles. Do you want to listen?"
Gu Liangyi immediately shook his head like a rattle.
Gu Liangyou: "Actually, I am a little bit..."
"No, you don't want to." Gu Liang said firmly.
"Okay." Gu Liangyou could only give up this opportunity regretfully.
Yi Yan asked: "How many civilization points are there on the light screen now?"
Gu Liangyi: "Let me see... 85. The growth rate is much slower than before."
They were almost emptying the tower, but were limited by the current level of human technology and the fact that scientists' research required a lot of time and experiments. Even if they were in a hurry, the progress would not be able to be advanced too quickly for a while.
Gu Liangyi was casually biting on a noodle, remembering what Principal Zong had told him before, that in fact, not long after the sky curtain live broadcast was launched, all countries on Earth had already prepared to deal with a full-scale crisis.
Powerful countries, including China, are building a large number of underground defense facilities, earthquake-resistant buildings and doomsday seed banks, because no one knows when the crisis will come.
In addition to Lord Mo, there are tens of millions of our compatriots who are fighting for the continuation of the flame of civilization.
Suddenly, the communicator on Yi Yan's waist vibrated.
"What's wrong?"
After he hung up, the faces of the people who were chatting and laughing just now suddenly became serious, they perked up and stared at him and asked.
"This is a message from Principal Zong," Yi Yan said succinctly as always, "The Magic Guild has just agreed to our terms."
Gu Liangyi clenched the chopsticks in his hand: "That is to say..."
Yi Yan nodded slightly at him.
"That imposter is coming."
