Chapter 615 Funeral Ceremony (Added)

Scarab preached: "The exchanges between Dog City and the Kingdom of Resurrection were initially the trade of [Dead Soul Sealing Mud], then the exchange of various commodities, and later the response to the riots of the old gods in Dog City. The cooperation between Dog City and the Yao Clan civilization is becoming more in-depth and close, and the trust between the two is constantly strengthened in the process."

"This time, Lord Yaoshen showed unparalleled dominance on the battlefield in dealing with the external threat to Dog City. Without your efforts, Dog City's external counterattack strategy would have completely failed. As a result, the opening time of Dog City must be further postponed..."

"Whether it's strength, reputation or style, Lord Yaoshen, you are respected. Canine City sincerely and formally invites you and hopes that you can reach a joint external defense alliance with Canine City..."

…

Lu Yao carefully read the scarab's requirements.

The so-called protectors of Dog City are there to help them and maintain order when there are conflicts with external gods outside Dog City.

It is actually defense outsourcing.

The Dog City only retains the military force to maintain internal order, and external military defense is contracted out to the Yao civilization.

If faced with a huge crisis and hidden danger like the Whistleblower, the Dog City would seek help from the Yao civilization for strategic deterrence or direct attack.

"Inucheng knows that Lord Yaoshen doesn't like to make a big fuss or be high-profile, so we also hope that these things can be done in a non-public manner."

"Only when we encounter a difficult problem that we cannot solve independently and need to seek help from external forces, Dog City will ask you to help. We will hire other gods to carry out military operations like this time, but you are our most trusted and key core, and the reward we pay you will be far higher than them."

"I think this will not only be less noticeable, but also reduce and share risks and pressure."

The Scarab's agent continued, "In addition to paying for the expenses and remuneration of each operation, we will also continue to reward you, our best friend and ally."

Lu Yao fell into deep thought.

The circumstances in dealing with whistleblowers are special, involving both military and business orders as well as personal grudges.

The scene in front of me is different.

Dog City means to build a long-term military alliance.

This means that there may be many more troubles like whistleblower problems in the future, which Lu Yao will need to resolve one by one.

The purpose of being in the crawling zone is to have a leisurely and healthy life, but if you do this, there will be a lot of trouble, and you will definitely get into a lot of trouble and grudges in the leaping zone.

——Not interested.

Lu Yao refused.

This seemed to surprise the scarab: "Please first listen to the conditions given by the dog city."

"Regardless of whether we encounter external disputes or difficulties, we will pay you a conventional defense military expenditure of no less than 1 million every 10 years. When external actions are needed, we will seek your opinion. If you agree, we will act. The specific costs and expenses can be negotiated."

——Not interested.

Lu Yao copied and pasted.

It's not about money, I just play it for fun occasionally.

It's just a one-time financial relationship, and there's no need to be responsible for each other. If it turns into long-term military outsourcing, a lot of things will happen.

Maybe some forces like to be fathers and garrisons, but not themselves.

Lu Yao felt that the scarab had a deep misunderstanding of him.

The other party was still unwilling to give up: "The price can be negotiated. We can discuss any requirements you have. We will do everything we can to make this happen. Canine City came here with absolute sincerity."

Lu Yao yawned.

There was a knock on the door.

Lu Yao stood up and went to the door to get the takeout of glutinous rice balls and scallion pancakes.

This combination is perfect for summer.

He washed his hands first, then opened the takeaway box, took a bite of fermented glutinous rice with the bread, and then looked at the screen.

On the screen, many words appeared above the scarab's head.

It seemed that it felt the offer was too low.

Lu Yao found it strange.

Why did the scarab think he would definitely agree?

It doesn't make sense.

After licking for a long time, there is nothing left. Doesn’t it understand this truth?

Just when Lu Yao was about to refuse again, he suddenly saw a line of words.

"Then how about this? For every body of a god that Dog City obtains from the outside world and completes a funeral ceremony, we will pay Lord Yaoshen one-third of the proceeds."

"In other words, as long as Dog City can purchase three bodies with divine attributes, I can give you one divine attribute. The cost of purchasing all the gods' bodies will be borne by Dog City. This is the biggest bargaining chip that Dog City can give now. What do you think?" said the scarab.

Lu Yao, who was eating a cake, frowned and realized that the situation was not simple.

Divine body, funeral ceremony, three divine bodies for one godhead? - Tell me about it.

Seeing that the situation seemed to be taking a turn for the better, the mummy immediately began to explain actively.

"Lord Anubis created the Dog City. This world was created based on the mythical wonder of the Dog City. Its most important function is the funeral ceremony."

"This ability is to embalm a corpse into a mummy, preserve it for a long time, place it in a tomb, and then remove all the internal organs."

"The funeral ritual can be applied to all corpses, removing all unnecessary parts from the corpse... For the corpse of a god, this includes the godhood, as well as a few strippable powers."

"When a titled god or main god dies, the godhead will naturally fall off from the body. But it is different for the gods. The godhead will be firmly integrated with the body of the gods and will be annihilated and disappear along with the body. The unique ability of the [Funeral Ceremony] can strip the godhead out."

Lu Yao was stunned.

Oh shit.

So this is how the Dog City got its huge reserves of Godheads! Wow! Dog City collects all kinds of corpses. On the one hand, it may be Anubis' personal preference, and on the other hand, it can continue to generate huge profits.

The funeral industry of gods is also incredibly profitable.

The scarab added: "However, to collect the bodies of the gods, we need to rely on the gods from the outside world. If a war between gods breaks out, the bodies are likely to be destroyed. And the bodies of gods who have fallen due to various other reasons will usually appear in some dangerous areas."

"The Dog City will purchase the bodies of gods through some influential external virtual universe hubs. Since they mainly purchase the bodies of gods, the purchase price is usually set between 100,000 and 1 million, depending on whether the body is intact or not. I inquired about the current external market conditions, and this price is still appropriate."

"The Dog City has opened channels to the [Western Paradise] in Buddhist mythology and the [Other World] in Kettle mythology. These two places are both divine kingdom hubs with large traffic, and are very suitable for external publicity and trading."

“That’s about it.”

Lu Yao thought about it carefully.

The scarab even told him this secret, and was indeed sincere in reaching a cooperation through profit sharing.

[Funeral Ceremony] is almost the most core secret of [Dog City], and it is also the reason why the scarab possesses so many divine powers.

This is really a bit too much.

After repeated thinking, Lu Yao came up with a plan.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

——I have an idea. Since conventional security needs to be undertaken by external gods, I have a friend named [Queen Mother of the West], and she has several subordinates...

An exclamation mark lit up above the scarab's head.

"Daily defense will be entrusted to [Kunlun], and the four title gods will do it? Please wait a moment."

Lu Yao knew that it wanted to investigate the background of the Four Heroes of Kunlun.

There will be a sequel soon.

"[Weituotian], [Obsidian Butterfly Goddess], [Winged Fairy], [East Sea Water Dividing General Shen Gongbao]... They are indeed all gods with titles that they are good at."

The scarab agreed readily: "Since you recommend it, I think there is no problem. It also saves the dog city from having to screen and negotiate. It is not easy to find a suitable and reliable god."

The entire cooperation was finalized quickly.

[Kunlun] will undertake the external routine security tasks of Dog City, and will quote Kunlun based on the difficulty of the specific target.

The contact person is [Shen Gongbao].

When the Four Heroes of Kunlun are unable to solve the problem, Lu Yao will take action.

Lu Yao estimated that using [Butterfly Goddess] and [Weituotian] as the main combat forces should be able to achieve daily deterrent effect.

It can also be regarded as a way to find extra income for the Kunlun people, giving these lower-ranked titled gods another way to earn the fire of faith.

If you are willing to accept it, then accept it. If you are not willing, then don’t force it.

Dog City will pay 1 million to Kunlun every 10 years.

This sum will be used as daily expenses for the Kunlun gods, and will be calculated separately when carrying out subsequent missions.

When Lu Yao announced this news on the Kunlun public channel, the Kunlun gods reacted very quickly.

[Butterfly Goddess]: Lady Queen Mother of the West, I’m available anytime!

[Weituotian]: I can do it too! [Yuyixian]: Although I am weaker, I will try my best to complete the task. Please believe me.

[Shen Gongbao]: Thank you, Queen Mother of the West. I never thought that we could get such a high-paying mission...

Everyone's enthusiasm surprised Lu Yao a little.

He knew that the four heroes of Kunlun were not well-off. Apart from the Butterfly Goddess who was supported by him, the richest Shen Gongbao had less than 2 million faiths in his account. They were all poor buddies.

It seems that the competition for jobs in the Leap Zone is also very fierce.

After Shen Gongbao explained it, Lu Yao finally understood.

Although in the pantheon, titled gods are the first echelon, this group is very different.

The top 300 title gods almost monopolize the best mission opportunities and resources. It is very difficult for the middle and lower-level title gods to maintain their rankings, and they often experience periodic declines.

As for god task intermediaries like [Blue Bridge], they usually pay according to the ranking order. For larger and higher-quality projects, gods with middle and lower-level titles basically have no chance, while the top gods are very picky...

Lu Yao was moved after hearing this.

…

After dealing with the Four Heroes of Kunlun, Lu Yao’s perspective switched back to the temple.

The scarab said: "To be able to get such a result is beyond my expectations. Not only can I get the recognition and consent of Lord Yaoshen, but I also found a stable mythological system to support it."

"This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

It took out a prop from its arms and turned it into a card.

On the card is a bird's nest shaped like a pillar, called "Basket on Top".

"This is an outstanding wonder created by Nephthys, the patron saint of houses and the dead, in Egyptian mythology. It can transform a house or building into a living thing."

A smiling face appeared on the top of the mummy's head: "I hope you like it."

Lu Yao became interested.

A living house?

A picture emerged in his mind.

In the city, houses are running around on the ground; in the fields, houses of all kinds are scattered around... Pixel people can sit in the houses and cross mountains and hills.

It seems good.
