"No matter how much you dress up, you'll still look like this. Does it matter what you wear?" After saying that, she raised her head. When it comes to beauty, the elves have never lost.
"Hmph, you're just afraid I'll gain the favor of the gods. Let me tell you, we dwarves are definitely Lord An's number one believer." Cook said indignantly, looking at Leonard's naturally handsome face.
If dwarves were given such beauty, the gods would surely favor them even more, and what would become of elves and dragons?
Leonard rolled his eyes at Cook and gritted his teeth, saying, "If you say that again, I won't take you." He wouldn't have been so kind if he wasn't afraid Cook would anger the gods.
Furthermore, the dwarves were not the first believers; it was clearly the elves.
Upon entering the inn, Cook felt overwhelmed by the sights.
Tall buildings, flat roads, and all sorts of things never seen or heard of before—where else but a land of gods could you find such things?
No wonder Leonard runs to God's Land whenever he gets the chance!
Cook quickly tidied himself up, striving to present himself in the best possible light to the gods.
An Ge had rushed over as soon as she sensed their arrival.
Upon seeing An Ge, Cook immediately showered her with hundreds of words of praise. Leonard, not to be outdone, joined in.
However, he was no match for Cook, and in the end, only Cook was left talking incessantly.
Lu Yan, who happened to be passing by, and Jiang Shang, who was curious about the alien race, were stunned when they saw this scene, as if they were seeing An Ge for the first time.
Lu Yan swallowed hard. "Manager, I never expected you to be like this."
Jiang Shang looked at his young apprentice with a complicated expression. "Apprentice, honest advice is hard to swallow. No matter what kind of praise you receive, you must stay true to yourself and not be misled."
Goodness, his little apprentice actually loves hearing praise so much. How come I never noticed before?
Ange once again experienced what it meant to be "socially doomed." She should have stopped Cook.
"Let me explain."
"Shopkeeper, I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I'll learn from this dwarf in the future." Lu Yan was always eager to stir things up.
“Shut up. Master, this is Cook, one of my followers. How should I put it, he tends to exaggerate when he praises people.”
Lu Yan chuckled, "Is that a little bit?"
Cook was a little confused, but he understood one thing: the old man was the master of the gods.
Cook's spirits lifted. "The master of the gods! He must be worshipped!"
"This must be Lord An's master, right? He's truly extraordinary. Just look at his demeanor; he inspires awe even without speaking. And once he opens his mouth, he becomes incredibly approachable."
To be honest, I, Cook, have been traveling the continent for quite some time, and I've never met anyone like you before. I'm not bragging, but when I first learned that my god had a master, I wondered what kind of person could be qualified to be the master of such a great god.
I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried, but after seeing you, I understood—you're exactly the kind of person I need! Imagination is often lacking; reality frequently surpasses imagination.
After hearing what he said, Jiang Shang was completely taken aback.
Well, how should I put it? It sounds rather nice.
Jiang Shang paused in stroking his beard. "Uh, you're my disciple's follower, right? You're very good. Little Ge'er, your follower is the most discerning follower I've ever met. You must treat him well."
Ange, “Master, didn’t you just say…”
Jiang Shang glared at him. "I didn't know Cook's character before, did I? Now I know. Cook is the most devout believer and an exceptionally sincere person. We can't stop him from telling the truth, can we?"
After saying that, he turned to Cook and said, "I usually like to play mahjong. If you're bored, you can come find me."
Cook looked at Jiang Shang excitedly, thinking how great it was that he hadn't let the gods down.
Lu Yan... Lingxiao Immortal's change of expression is too fast, isn't it? So in the end, he's the only one left to bear the store manager's anger?
Thinking of this, Lu Yan slipped away as fast as he could.
If Jiang Shang knew what Lu Yan was thinking, he would definitely say, "It's no wonder he changed his mind at the last minute. Anyone would be unable to resist such sincere praise!"
After everyone left, Ange looked at Cook speechlessly, "Cook, don't praise God in front of everyone in the future. They're not my believers, it's not good to say it too much."
Cook nodded knowingly. "I understand, sir."
"Okay, just call me store manager here from now on."
Cook didn't know why Ango was called that, but as the first believer, he was the most obedient.
"Boss, store manager, let me tell you something big happened in our plane recently." Then, Cook recounted how the gods descended to collect believers, and how he was determined to make the gods retreat in defeat.
Finally, she told Ange that she had persuaded the dragon clan, and now the dragon clan also wanted to believe in her.
"Shopkeeper, although Karami is very arrogant, the dragon race is quite powerful. It's not a bad deal to take them as believers."
An Ge remained calm, but a little voice inside her was racing, "Ahhh! Dragons? They're dragons! They actually worship me? Am I too amazing?"
The little girl gradually calmed down after running around. It wasn't that she was good, but rather that Cook's brainwashing skills were too good.
She remembered that the dragon clan only gave her a clan treasure in the end, and did not mention anything about faith.
Something else must have happened afterward for the dragons to come to believe in them.
"Cook, my master is right, you are very good!" Ange is now very satisfied with Cook. She did not deliberately develop believers, but with Cook's smooth talk, believers came uninvited.
Ango's praise was the best reward for Cook, who smiled and showed all ten teeth, looking adorably ugly.
Seeing that Cook had gotten there first, Leonard immediately stepped forward and said that he was not tempted.
After listening, An Ge, as usual, also praised Leonard a few times, showing her commitment to treating everyone fairly.
"You offended that deity, but she didn't do anything to you, did she?"
The two shook their heads. Leonard thought for a moment and said, "At first, I could clearly sense that they were angry, but in the end they didn't attack us. Maybe they were worried about something?"
According to Cook, the other party must have refrained from action because they feared divine retribution. The more Cook analyzed it, the more plausible this reasoning seemed.
"That's good. By the way, did that deity mention his or her divine title?"
Leonard shook his head, while Cook said uncertainly, "She calls herself the goddess of nature, named Belin...na."
Ango remained silent. She didn't know who Belina was, but she had heard Nat mention the goddess of nature before; she was the deity they used to worship.
Good heavens, I must be at odds with this goddess of nature, having snatched another batch of believers from her.
I suddenly feel a little sorry for her.
