Chapter 263: Become a god instantly with the people’s worship!

Even Ji Ruo had never expected that it would be so easy to become a god in this secret realm.

Fortunately, there are no celebrity idols or the like in this secret realm, otherwise gods would have already filled the place... eh?

Ji Ruo suddenly realized that if just having people worship him could generate the most basic faith, thereby catalyzing the divine power to ignite the divine fire and condense the godhood, then if he could cultivate a large number of idol stars, the god of this secret realm would have no future at all!

The number of believers is limited. When the base number of gods is large enough, many of the gods' original believers will be divided up. In this way, the power of the gods will be weakened - the overall number is increased, but the overall quality is lowered, thereby achieving the goal of weakening the combat effectiveness of the entire secret realm!

While cooking, Ji Ruo's thoughts gradually drifted away.

He continued to think along this line and felt that this method had great potential.

But one thing is that now all the believers in the secret realm have been divided up, and the gods do not allow any form of missionary work.

If Ji Ruo really wanted to create a celebrity idol in this secret realm, there might not be any problems in the early stages, but those gods were not fools. If they couldn't grasp the degree, they would be easily exposed. At that time, as the planner and promoter of the "celebrity idol deification system", Ji Ruo would probably be attacked by all the gods...

Therefore, although this matter is feasible and the feasibility is not low, it still requires long-term consideration.

The most urgent thing now is to control the heat, the hot pot is almost cooked...

The iron palm of the human world was spewing flames. Ji Ruo's flesh palms rubbed against the air, generating high temperatures, which slowly flowed into the pot along with his true essence. Although the iron pot was large, Ji Ruo's control over the heat was perfect.

"Meat!"

Ji Ruo raised his hand and a large amount of crystal clear meat slices flew into the boiling hot pot. His true energy shook, and the meat slices were beaten finely. The divine blood contained in them was shaken and slowly dissipated.

The pot of soup turned blood red, and the rich aroma spread. No matter who you were, just smelling it would make you feel relaxed and refreshed.

Ji Ruo rubbed his five fingers together and pinched out a Rasengan, and using the technique of "shooting the bull from behind the mountain", he sent the Rasengan through the bottom of the pot and into the pot, making the whole pot of hot soup swirl and stir it thoroughly.

"rise!"

A blood-red vortex rose into the sky, and not a drop of the soup in the pot was left. It was controlled by Ji Ruo with Tai Chi, and turned into a long dragon of water. Everyone exclaimed in amazement, it was both fragrant and beautiful!

Sir Jonathan was stunned and speechless.

Everyone had eaten the appetizers before, except him, and now he is very hungry.

"Tai Chi·Cloud Hands!"

Ji Ruohun's body shook, and the blood-colored vortex split into two, from one long dragon to two long dragons.

Then Ji Ruo took out a series of hot pot ingredients including star anise, bay leaves, cumin, tangerine peel, chili pepper, etc. from his four-dimensional pocket and put them into one of the long soup dragons.

The color of the long dragon of soup suddenly became brighter.

Then, Ji Ruo changed his fist posture, and the two long dragons of soup returned to the big iron pot.

What is different from before is that now there is an 'S'-shaped arc in the middle of the soup in the pot, dividing the two flavors of soup. Although there is no baffle in the middle, they are strangely clear-cut and not mixed at all.

One pot of soup, two flavors.

Ji Ruo used the yin and yang of Tai Chi to make a hot pot...

"Come on, it's almost time to eat."

Ji Ruo happily lifted a large iron pot and placed it over the campfire. The hot soup in the pot was bubbling with steam, and the air was filled with a rich aroma.

Everyone subconsciously raised their empty wine glasses and bowls, staring at the fragrant hot pot of God.

But since Ji Ruo didn't say anything, no one dared to act rashly. Even if we didn't take Ji Ruo's fighting power into consideration, his dazzling martial arts and cooking skills alone were enough to make these people in the secret realm who had never seen the world regard Ji Ruo as a god.

“Although it’s a bit weird to drink soup before eating hot pot…but since everyone can’t wait, let’s drink a bowl first to whet our appetite.”

As he spoke, Ji Ruo flicked his fingertips and the soup exploded, dividing into countless streams, crossing the night sky and falling precisely into the containers held by each person.

To be honest, Ji Ruo's martial arts are becoming more and more down-to-earth. All his current martial arts can be roughly divided into three categories: cutting vegetables (sword and sword skills), cooking (human fireworks), and serving food (Tai Chi boxing)...

Baron Jonathan's throat kept beating, but after sobering up, he still retained the dignity of a nobleman.

Ji Ruo smiled slightly, personally controlled a bowl of hot soup to float in front of Jonathan, and asked with a smile: "Baron, would you like some soup?"

The frivolous tone made Jonathan tremble all over, his eyes reddened: "Who do you think I am!"

Ji Ruo was surprised and asked, "You still don't want to drink?"

Jonathan stiffened his neck, clenched his fists, and growled, "I am a hereditary baron ennobled by the kingdom, and the current ruler of Rouen. I, I...you give me a bigger bowl!"

“Hahahahahahaha!”

Ji Ruo laughed and changed the bowl for Jonathan.

“It’s really delicious…”

As the hot soup went down his throat, the extreme deliciousness brought tears to Jonathan's eyes. He had never known that there were such delicious things in the world. He was almost moved to tears.

He didn't care that it was boiling hot, and drank the hot soup in one gulp, even licking the bottom of the bowl clean. He then pushed the empty bowl away and begged, "Another bowl! I want a different flavor!"

Ji Ruo looked at him with a smile: "As a noble, don't you even have the most basic manners?"

Jonathan hesitated for a moment: "Please give me another bowl, I want the other flavor..."

He saw some townspeople who were given another kind of soup had flushed faces, with expressions that looked like pain and excitement, and they were very curious about the taste.

Ji Ruo happily snapped his fingers and served another bowl to Jonathan.

Then Jonathan, who was shouting and yelling without caring about the spiciness, asked everyone to start teaching how to cook hot pot.

This novel way of eating amazed the townspeople, and with the delicious taste, they admired Ji Ruo even more.

The trace of divine power in the Niwan Palace between Ji Ruo's eyebrows grew stronger and stronger, but no one knew whether it was too little or something was missing, and there was no sign of igniting the divine fire as those elemental gods had said.

Not to mention condensing the godhood.

Ji Ruo was a little confused. Could it be that those elemental gods were deceiving him?

No, they shouldn’t dare to do that, but why...is it my own problem?

Ji Ruo was deep in thought when he suddenly saw the excited crowd eating and drinking but not touching the pigs. He couldn't help but pull one of them over and ask, "Why don't you eat these? Don't you like them?"

The man was enjoying his meal when he was suddenly stopped by Ji Ruo. He was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Ji Ruo, he immediately asked cautiously, "Because that kind of thing can't be eaten..."

Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

It turns out that it’s not that I don’t like to eat it, but that I subconsciously feel that I can’t eat it.

So the boy took out a pair of long chopsticks from his four-dimensional pocket, thought for a moment, and used the seasoning in his four-dimensional pocket to make a dish of dipping sauce. He said, "This stuff is quite delicious. Pork liver, pork heart, pork stomach, pork intestines... How can you eat hot pot without these?"

The idea is to pick up a piece of pork liver, boil it for a while, pick it up, and dip it in the sauce.

"Here, try it."

The man hesitated. He didn't want to eat it, but because of Ji Ruo's force, he didn't dare to resist. He opened his mouth carefully and ate it...

"Um?!"

The man's eyes lit up.

Ji Ruo smiled and said, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"tasty!"

He began to cook like Ji Ruo and enjoyed it with great relish.

The people around were a little hesitant at first, but when they saw that man eating with great joy, they began to try it tentatively.

The result is naturally delicious.

Those originally unpopular internal organs suddenly caused a fight among people.

After all, no matter how big the carp is, there is only so much dirt inside it. If you don't grab some, you'll have nothing to eat.

Jonathan held up his fork and roared, "I put that piece of liver there. I order you to put it down in the name of the Baron!"

The man retracted his neck, picked up the pig liver with a spoon and stuffed it directly into his mouth, then shrank his body and hid in the crowd.

"Damn it!!!" Jonathan was furious and kept shouting: "Knight! Knight! Help me grab the meat!!"

The knights also gathered around the iron pot, eating with red faces, saying, "Master, we are helping you test the poison!"

"I don't need you to try! I'm going to die here today!"

"That won't work!"

"Damn it! Do you still want to do it?"

“I want to eat meat!”

People laughed kindly.

It was already late at night, but the square was still brightly lit. Even the children were still awake. Everyone gathered around the big iron pot, savoring the delicious hot pot that they had never tasted before.

And because of the difference in strength and size, these people in the secret realm seemed to have no idea of ​​respecting the elderly and loving the young. The adults surrounded the hot pot so tightly that no one could get out of it. The dirty children were outside holding empty bowls, running around in a hurry, and swallowing madly at the smell of the fragrance.

Seeing this, Ji Ruo hurriedly said, "Let the children eat some too! Such a big pig is enough for you to eat. Don't eat alone, learn to share! Really, you are so old, why are you still fighting with the children for food? Get out of the way and let the children eat too!"

The crowd then dispersed so that the children could share the delicious food.

A dirty child came to Ji Ruo holding the meat soup he was given and whispered, "Thank you, big brother..."

Ji Ruo smiled and rubbed the boy's head, and asked, "You're welcome. Is it delicious?"

"tasty!"

"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more! You'll be full!"

The children all came over to thank Ji Ruo, and Ji Ruo didn't feel annoyed and responded to the children one by one.

What’s interesting is that from beginning to end, only these children came over to say thank you to Ji Ruo. While the adults were enjoying the delicious food, they were still mumbling in their ears that it was Ji Ruo who asked them to eat it, not their intention…

Adults and children are both human beings, but there seems to be a big difference between them.

Adults always have to find a reason for what they do, but children don’t. Children just want to be happy.

However, Ji Ruo did not intend to say anything more. The ice is three feet thick and it didn't freeze overnight. The human class in this secret realm is solidified, and this kind of thinking cannot be corrected all at once.

The soup in the pot kept boiling, the laughter and joy started again, and the atmosphere became lively again.

People drank, sang and danced.

This time, no one is talking about Kyrie Irving, and no one is celebrating not being selected this year.

Everyone talks about food and enjoys the day, this is how a celebration should be.

Ji Ruo sat aside and watched happily.

Jonathan came to Ji Ruo with hot pot soup in one hand and a glass of beer in the other.

Ji Ruo jokingly said, "My Lord Baron, what do you think? This kind of celebration is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Please spare me." Jonathan smiled bitterly. "No matter how I listen to you now, it feels like you are mocking me by calling me 'Baron'."

"How could that be? People who know me well know that I never make fun of others."

Jonathan smiled, sat next to Ji Ruo, and asked the rider to hand Ji Ruo a glass of wine: "Want a drink?"

Ji Ruo politely declined: "Children cannot drink alcohol."

"?"

Jonathan coughed dryly and said, "Anyway, I came here specifically to apologize to you."

"Why apologize?"

"I didn't know you were so strong before... Now that I think about it, you must have done it on purpose in the manor. I don't know why you did that, but it was wrong for us to sacrifice you, so... I'm sorry.

I admire your generosity for letting go of past grudges and letting us enjoy such delicious food. I have never met anyone with such a noble character as you..."

As Jonathan spoke, he carefully observed Ji Ruo's reaction, but Ji Ruo kept smiling from beginning to end, and he couldn't figure out what Ji Ruo was thinking.

But to be honest, Jonathan really admired Ji Ruo's ability to forgive those who hurt him and his attitude towards children.

Red flower +1, Ji Ruo said happily: "Yes, I am so good!"

"Forehead..."

Jonathan was stunned for a moment. Although they didn't know how to be humble, it was the first time he saw someone admit it so naturally.

My thoughts suddenly became incoherent, and I didn't know how to continue what I was about to say.

Ji Ruo didn't care and said, "So, Baron, how do you feel about today? Are you happy?"

"I'm happy." Jonathan nodded. "This is the happiest day of my life... To be honest, those bastards respected me before because they were afraid of my power, but today... I can see that they really respect me this time. It feels great."

"In fact, it is not difficult to gain respect. You just need to make their lives better, and they will respect and love you from the bottom of their hearts." Ji Ruo said: "Sometimes people's thoughts are not complicated. They just want to eat enough and wear warm clothes. This is not difficult."

Jonathan sighed. "I know what you mean. In fact, I have thought about this just now. But I am just a baron. The land in my territory is poor and the harvest is not good every year. It's not that I don't want to, but I have no choice."

Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "If I can help you get a better harvest, will you make people's lives better? At least they can have enough food and clothes, and at least the children can smile."

Jonathan was stunned for a moment: "If possible..."

Ji Ruo clapped his hands and said, "It's settled then. Tomorrow, I will teach you how to farm. Have you heard of hybrid rice? The yield per mu is very high..."

As he spoke, Ji Ruo used his brooch to project video information about hybrid rice and introduced it to Jonathan with great excitement.

Jonathan stared at the treasure of light and shadow in a daze. He had never seen such a magical thing.

Is it magic? Or some kind of treasure?

He suddenly remembered that if Ji was a 'passing traveler', he must have been to many places, so it was not surprising that he had such a treasure.

Apart from anything else, the semicircular white pocket on Ji Ruo's body, which seemed impossible to empty, was not an ordinary thing.

Through the illusory projection, Jonathan stared at Ji Ruo's handsome profile, his bright eyes gleaming with energy.

Jonathan couldn't help but sigh: "Are you really a human being?"

He even used honorifics subconsciously.

"Of course." Ji Ruo was puzzled: "Don't I look like one?"

"It really is... What a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It would be great if you were a god. Believing in you is much better than believing in Kairis."

Ji Ruo was stunned.

Jonathan suddenly stood up and shouted, "Come here, you...folks! This respected traveler wants to teach us how to farm. Come and listen to what...what is it?"

Ji Ruo added: "Hybrid rice."

"Yes, hybrid rice!"

People gathered around and Ji Ruo introduced it in detail.

Everyone could hear that Ji Ruo sincerely wanted to help them improve their lives.

Old Laode looked at Ji Ruo, thinking about what he and others had done, the delicious food just now, and the sharing of his knowledge with others, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed.

"This is what a God should look like!"

Similar thoughts arose in many people's minds, and their worship of Ji Ruo became stronger and stronger, almost surpassing their belief in the main gods.

In this extremely rigid class society, people have no special abilities other than being prone to worshipping the strong.

And when this belief becomes strong enough, faith will gather.

The trace of divine power in Ji Ruo's Niwan Palace was getting stronger and stronger, but no matter what, he was unable to ignite the divine fire and condense the divine nature. It seemed that something was missing.

People recalled Ji Ruo's various great deeds.

His palms were as hot as fire, and his punches resonated with heaven and earth.

He is so powerful that it is unimaginable, yet he is so approachable and does not have the slightest airs of a powerful person.

And the amazing cooking skills that can make unheard-of delicacies...

All the beliefs came together, and Ji Ruo received a reminder from the system teacher:

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the respect of many people, the blessing of the rules, and the achievement: the so-called God of Food, that's me~ Upgrade! ]

[The title of God of Cookery meets the requirements and the title advancement process begins! ]

[The current title advancement conditions are insufficient, please collect 100 incense sticks as soon as possible! ]

[Current collection progress: 0/100]

[Note: Clay sculptures and golden bodies, incense and incense make you a god! ]

【Note: Receive incense from one side and protect the peace of the people! 】

【Note: Food is the most important thing for the people! 】

Ji Ruo grinned, so that's how it is.

I am not a native human to this secret realm, so I cannot follow the normal Shinto beliefs.

As a Daxia person, if one wants to become a god, the natural thing is to become a god of incense and fire!

But, collecting incense?

Ji Ruo looked at the people in front of him. They didn’t know why Ji Ruo suddenly stopped talking, and they didn’t dare to ask. They just looked at Ji Ruo timidly.

White Cat once said that collecting incense is just a formality, a special ritual to establish a faith connection with believers.

So, in fact, others don’t necessarily have to burn incense for Ji Ruo.

It is said that sincerity is the key to success. It is not difficult to collect incense from one hundred people.

Ji Ruo suddenly said, "Well, today is a celebration, why am I attending a class here?"

People: "?"

"Let's talk about these things tomorrow. Since it's a celebration, how can we not set off fireworks?"

As he spoke, Ji Ruo pulled out a bunch of various fireworks from his four-dimensional pocket. After leaving Babao Village, Ji Ruo did not just invent and create. He also took the time to prepare a lot of supplies. No matter whether they would be used or not, his four-dimensional pocket could not be filled anyway. ωωw. cascoo

Then people try it out according to the instructions.

“Swoosh~Pah!”

The smell of gunpowder spread, and fireworks rose into the sky, exploding into brilliant light and shadow, dazzling the eyes.

The fleeting beauty of the fireworks was reflected in the light. People had never seen such a beautiful scene before. They smelled the faint smell of gunpowder and were moved to tears.

"God bless you..."

People prayed to the fireworks, and the god in their hearts was naturally Ji Ruo's appearance.

Ji Ruo was all smiles, and his shadow clone carried a camera to record this scene.

A hundred servings of incense were collected in a matter of minutes.

The title of achievement evolves into a god position. If you receive incense from the people, you will become a god instantly!

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the title of deity: the God of the Stove! ]
