After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan first went to find Xiao Shan.
Xiao Shan has now become a farming expert. A 100-square-meter plot of land has been divided into small grids by her, with each grid further subdivided by a fine fence.
Like an enlarged bonsai pot, it contains all sorts of succulents that look so vibrant and lovely. Xiao Shan lingers in this little plot of land every day, and even wishes she could move it back home.
"When can we clear out another piece of land? The old man keeps saying he wants to grow some of his favorite green vegetables on this land. We're still not even getting enough to eat outside, and he's already starting to think about improving his living standards. Don't you think the old man is getting a little too carried away?"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan laughed heartily: "That's good! This is how we can show the old man's love for life. It's alright. After we finish this mission, we'll be able to get a new type of plant. With this widely plantable plant, we'll be able to get a large amount of food. We won't have to eat fried mushrooms, stewed mushrooms, boiled mushrooms, and the like every day anymore."
Xiao Shan also felt sorry for her, and nodded after looking outside.
"Yes, although the people in our camp have managed to get mushrooms through the black market and are able to eat, what will happen when they run out of things to exchange for?"
A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips. He beckoned to Xiao Shan with his finger and then pointed towards the bedroom.
Seeing Lu Yuan's reaction, Xiao Shan blushed.
She gently patted Lu Yuan's chest and said with a hint of reproach.
What are you doing in broad daylight? It would be terrible if someone heard you!
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes.
"Honestly, I'm talking to you about serious matters. What are you thinking about all day long?"
After hearing this, Xiao Shan's eyes widened as she stepped forward and pinched Lu Yuan's waist hard.
"You're just teasing me, you're just teasing me!"
The two chased and played around until they returned to the bedroom, where Lu Yuan looked at Xiao Shan seriously and said...
"Do you remember when I went to Luo Xuan's camp during the day?"
Xiao Shan nodded.
"Yes, I knew about your trip to the camp. What happened? Did you make any new discoveries there?"
"Hmm, I've discovered something. I'm planning to increase the speed at which I gain gratitude points, but if I give them gifts, they might only show gratitude to me in the short term!"
If this continues indefinitely, their faith in me might decrease, and they might even stop being so grateful if I stop feeding them for a day.
So I want them to know that these things didn't come easily; they were given to them as a gift from me, and they must be grateful. I also want them to remember me forever!
Xiao Shan's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
"Oh, so what do you plan to do?"
"I have a new idea. I plan to establish a sect, just like Christianity and Buddhism, and have these people believe in me!"
Xiao Shan's eyebrows twitched, wondering why Lu Yuan would say that.
She felt that all those people who were worshipped were dead; how could anyone worship a living person? It was truly ridiculous.
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? You're still alive. If you ask them to believe in you, how will they react when they actually meet you in the future?"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, then picked up the computer and typed in a few words. Immediately, some images, text, and videos appeared at the bottom of the screen.
The content shows a group of fanatical people from some local religious sects chasing a man sitting on a large vehicle.
The man was shirtless, wearing something that looked like a cassock, which he gently covered his body and head with a tall golden crown. He looked like one of the believers in a religion, except that this man was alive.
Xiao Shan immediately realized what was happening.
"I understand. You mean we should create our own sect using their methods, and then people outside will believe in you?"
"That's exactly what I mean. As long as they believe in me, they will continuously gain gratitude points, and I will be able to continuously develop more and more useful things. After achieving this cycle, they will contribute more and more gratitude points to me, and I will be able to get more and more things from the World Tree!"
A glint of light flashed in Xiao Shan's eyes, and she said excitedly.
"That's great! This feeling is actually quite nice. If we believe in you, how are we supposed to face you in the future? Are we supposed to bow and kneel down when we see you?"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand.
"Forget about that. I really can't stand kowtowing and kneeling. I don't really like it. Everyone just needs to make a gesture or a movement towards me. Or, how about we have a proper discussion? Do you see if there are any experts in this field in the camp?"
After a moment of contemplation, Xiaoshan suddenly thought of someone.
"Why don't we go find Kong Hanting? She might know something about this!"
"Kong Hanting? Is he a believer?"
"She's not a believer, but she knows some directors! Look at how powerful those directors are, it's because they can fabricate convincing stories. If we invite them all over and organize them into a religion, making everyone believe in you, wouldn't we be able to continuously gain gratitude points?"
Lu Yuan clenched his fists excitedly.
"That's fantastic! If your method works, then we can increase our speed of acquiring gratitude points much more!"
"That's right! Then hurry up and find Kong Hanting. I can't wait to establish a religion with myself as its guiding principle!"
Haha, just thinking about it now makes me feel so cool! When I stepped outside, everyone was staring at me, and I was overflowing with gratitude. Just thinking about it makes me feel like the whole world was mine!
Xiao Shan stood to the side, her face beaming with smiles.
"Yes, my husband is going to become a respected figure. Does that mean my status has increased too? If they keep talking about us every day, will we start sneezing every time?"
