Chapter 289: Want to learn? Sign a contract first~

Kevin and Mining God are not fools, so why would they believe it when they had just participated in the filming process?

They may think that this is probably how Ji Ruo gained power, and Ji Ruo just presented it in a way that they can accept.

Kevin and Lauren secretly glanced at the handsome belt around Ji Ruo's waist, and then secretly looked at the mine god who had been speaking well of them. Their eyes flashed and they had made up their minds.

The God of Mine had a similar idea, but he thought that Ji Ruo should be the so-called agent, and the one who gave Ji Ruo the power was the Stove God.

Although he had never heard of the title of 'Kao Shen' before, if Ji Ruo was really the 'God's agent'... a mere agent could beat him, then how powerful would the real Kao Shen be?

That's why the Mining God suddenly became so polite, even a little humble.

…

"Of course."

Ji Ruo was happy. He had wanted to give this in the beginning, but since the Mining God had taken the initiative to bring it up, Ji Ruo couldn't give it so easily.

Of course, the so-called "not easy to give" is only relative. In fact, Ji Ruo has already asked his shadow clone to inform Ji Xiaoxiao to cut a different version of the special effects.

This version is specially prepared for the God of Mines.

"Really!" The mining god was delighted: "Thank you so much, you are so kind!"

As he spoke, the Mineral God prepared to take out the photo stone he had prepared long ago - this photo stone is a relatively common magic prop, and its main function is to record images and sounds.

But no matter how common it is, it is a magic prop after all, and the price is not very affordable.

Each photo stone can only record one video. If you want to record a new video, you must delete the previous one. Therefore, generally only the noble class can afford it. It is said that some nobles like to use photo stones to record some daily life for preservation.

Of course, blank or recorded photo stones can be obtained occasionally in the dungeon, and those recorded photo stones are mostly about the daily life of certain nobles - after all, they are purchased by the gods themselves, so it is not surprising that there are special sources of supply.

The Mineral God has been managing the Lahapa Underground City for many years, so it is not surprising that there are photo stones.

However, after searching in his own divine domain for a while, his expression suddenly froze.

He then realized that he didn't have the photo stone!

Although this thing is not cheap, it is not very useful, so the Mineral God did not buy much when he "purchased" it.

The key point is that someone suddenly came to the Ninth Floor, and in order not to disappoint the "adventurers", the God of Mines put all the treasures in stock - He did not expect that there would be visitors to the Ninth Floor so soon, so he did not prepare enough "goods" in advance...

After all, I am not a Great Xia God, and I have no concept of savings...

The God of Mines hesitated for a moment and said, "Um... God of Stove, can you lend me a Shadow Stone? I guarantee with my godhood that I will definitely return it to you!"

Ji Ruo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This mining god doesn't seem to be very smart.

Come to think of it, those who believe in the mining god are probably uneducated miners - the level of education in Mother Earth Continent is not high. For example, in the town of Rouen before, poor people like Henry couldn't even write their own names.

"Why would you lend it to me? It's not worth anything. I'll just give it to you."

The mine god was extremely grateful: "Thank you, thank you so much!"

This god is so simple.

Ji Ruo couldn't help but sigh. The shadow stone he had was obviously from the God of Mines. As soon as the God of Mines put down his front foot, his shadow clone had already put it back up... Just like that, Ji Ruo gave the God of Mines a few shadow stones, and he still had to thank us...

Ji Ruo then started playing another version of "Armor Hero".

In this version, Ji is an aboriginal from the town of Roueng who, yearning for the outside world, leaves his hometown to wander on his own.

By chance, he entered the Laharpa dungeon, encountered a crisis, and narrowly escaped death. Fortunately, he was recognized by the gods, obtained armor, and his strength increased dramatically. He defeated all the monsters in the dungeon...

Compared to the previous version, this version is more in line with the needs of the Miner God, and there is no description of "time travel" - the "chosen" in the previous version was explained by Ji Ruo as "a righteous boy randomly selected through high-level complex mental space magic."

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, Kevin and others and the mining god believed it.

After all, they are "underground gods who have never seen the world" and "ordinary adventurers who don't even have divine skills", and they are unable to distinguish between the real and the fake.

However, the corners of Sheila's mouth twitched slightly, and it was obvious that she didn't believe it.

But it doesn't matter.

Let's get back to the point. The new version of "Armor Hero" has almost no plot to speak of. Apart from obtaining the "transformer", there is almost no plot to speak of. It's just fighting all the way.

Of course, there are no scenes featuring Kevin and the others. It is more like a product display than a drama.

There are very few lines in it, only the dialogue about "the god chooses the righteous boy and gives him a battle armor transformation device", and it mainly introduces the God of Mines.

The God of Mines looked at this with a pair of gemstone eyes full of surprise. He was sure that if this was used as a promotional tool, the effect would be amazing!

He could almost foresee the scene of His followers surging in number in the near future.

After the Mining God used the recording stone to record all the scenes, "Mine God, what are you going to do with this?"

Without thinking, the Mining God blurted out: "Get more photo stones, keep replicating the video, and send it to the humans outside!"

In the eyes of the mining god, this is the fastest and most convenient way.

However, Ji Ruo shook his head slightly and said, "It's too small. The pattern is too small."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Ji Ruo said: "The image stone needs magic power to activate it, right? Although in theory every living being has magic power, not everyone knows how to use it..."

The mining god seemed to be thinking about something.

The so-called "magic power" is actually the power generated by the body being affected by elemental forces for a long time and absorbing elemental forces unconsciously.

This is actually somewhat similar to how warriors use spiritual energy to refine their bodies, except that the process of practicing martial arts is to absorb and refine spiritual energy in a targeted manner, and to strengthen qi and blood. Although the efficiency is not very high before the qi and pulse realm, it is much better than the passive absorption method of the indigenous people of the Earth Mother Continent.

Except for magicians or some special professionals, ordinary people cannot increase their magic power through hard work.

But even for those professionals, the method of training magic power is not efficient, because the way to increase magic power, besides increasing it naturally with age, is to use it up again and again and wait for it to recover.

The recovery process is very mentally taxing.

Compared with Daxia, the Earth Mother Continent uses power like a primitive man.

Ji Ruo continued, "Also, it's better for you to run the dungeon now, but if you distribute the photo stones, whether they are useful or not, you are proselytizing, and you are doing it without the permission of those sects, which means it is illegal proselytizing... What do you think will happen?"

What will happen? Of course, they will be expelled as heretics!

No...

Only useless gods would be expelled as heretics - and there are only two ways of so-called expulsion. Either they are like a small, autonomous regional god like Kairis, who is beaten by a sectarian clergyman or a subordinate god in front of his own believers, forcing the believers' faith to collapse and be plundered.

Otherwise, just kill all the heretics.

Without faith, gods become rootless duckweed. When their power is exhausted and their divinity collapses, they cease to exist.

As for 'useless', it mainly refers to those gods that are combat-oriented.

Like the Mining God... it can be classified as functional. If you spread illegal teachings, you may not be "expelled", but you may be caught and become a "resource point" similar to the game...

Of course, the God of Mines didn't know what a 'resource point' was, but that was what it meant, so He was a little panicked.

"What should I do? You know what to do, right? Teach me quickly..." As he spoke, the God of Mine suddenly felt that what he said was not quite right. He paused and changed his words, "God of Ovens, please teach me!"

I have GG but can't release it. Who can I replace with?

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruo pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I do have a way. You should have seen that I am much stronger than you. It won't take much effort to beat you up..."

Mineral God: "...Can we skip this unimportant matter?"

"Ahem, anyway, you see how strong I am, but you have never heard of my name, so I must have a special way of preaching, right?" Ji Ruo officially began to deceive: "Yes, I do have a way to avoid risks and preach safely, but this method is the foundation of my livelihood after all. You just asked me to teach you the foundation of my livelihood...

To be honest, it’s not impossible to teach you. After all, you and I, Brother Miner, hit it off right away, right?”

The mining god was delighted when he heard this: "Thank you..."

"But, how should I put it? It's not that I can't help you. It's just that what we are saying doesn't mean it will definitely work. Do you understand what I mean? It means..."

Ji Ruo kept on talking in the official language of Tai Chi, which confused Mineshen.

What does it mean to be able to do it? But some things cannot be done just by saying they can be done.

Of course I will help, but what does it mean that this matter cannot be done this way?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

The mining god looked confused.

Kevin couldn't stand it anymore, regardless of his overstepping his authority, he quietly poked the God of Mine and whispered, "Lord God, Lord God of the Mine means that you want benefits..."

"ah!"

The mining god suddenly realized.

Then He became embarrassed again and said, "But I don't have anything else to give you... You definitely don't want gold and gems, and minerals and metals are probably of no use to you. Even I don't like the things I put in the dungeon, so you definitely don't like them either... I don't seem to have anything to give you..."

Ji Ruo laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he sternly rebuked Kevin: "Nonsense! How could I be that kind of god? Brother Mineral God, don't listen to him. I'm not asking for any benefit, but this method is too important to me. Although I believe you won't leak it, I think it's better to take out insurance just in case."

"What insurance?"

"Let's sign a contract, and I'll teach you after we sign it."

"Contract? It's something that humans use to make agreements? But... it's nothing to us gods... Ah! So that's how it is!"

The God of Mine suddenly realized: "The contract is just an excuse so that I can accept your gift with peace of mind. Brother God of Mine, you are so kind to me!"

This alien gold mining god who can produce any kind of mineral veins was extremely moved by Ji Ruo's actions.

Since becoming a god, this is the first time he has encountered such a good god.

"I'll sign!"

The Mineral God said solemnly: "Not only do I have to sign the contract, I also have to swear on my godhood that if you need me in the future, Brother Stove God, I will never frown no matter how hard it takes!"

The title of [Beastmaster] is mainly about signing a master-servant contract, and in order to successfully sign the contract, three conditions must be met.

First, both parties must be voluntary.

Second, the other party cannot be human, that is, they cannot be of the same race as Ji Ruo.

The third is that Ji Ruo’s strength must surpass that of the opponent.

Only when the above three conditions are met at the same time can a master-servant contract be signed.

So the God of Mine signed a master-servant contract with Ji Ruo in such a confused manner.

Sheila on the side blinked. She thought this contract was some kind of mysterious power, but in the end, it was just a verbal signing?

But if that was really the case, why would Ji Ruo go through so much trouble?

Sheila pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her.

There doesn't seem to be a god in charge of contracts on Mother Earth's continent right now!

There are contracts, but those effective contracts will specify which god will serve as witness. There is no god who is specifically in charge of this because anyone can do it.

So, the idea is to steal this authority?

Sheila thought.

Ji Ruo had no idea what Sheila was thinking about. After signing the contract with the God of Mines, Ji Ruo suddenly became more enthusiastic.

"The method is actually very simple. You split the image recorded in this photo stone into multiple photo stones, and then leave these photo stones in a corner of each layer. Then use magic cores or something else to activate the photo stone 24 hours a day to ensure that it can be played all the time. Or you can directly build a small mechanism. Once an adventurer opens the treasure chest, the photo stone will be activated..."

The mining god asked in a daze: "Why not put the complete one?"

Ji Ruo explained casually: "This is the joy of following the update. It is difficult for me to explain it to you with your level of education... Anyway, you just need to know that after splitting, it can greatly increase the adventurer's enthusiasm for breaking through the levels..."

Because the contract had already been signed, Ji Ruo was still very concerned and told the Mining God many ways to fight GG.

Safe and efficient!

Sheila suddenly said, "This can indeed increase the number of believers, and the professionals who are given power can indeed have a missionary effect, but it will also increase the chance of being exposed. If so many professionals suddenly appear with the same skills, they will definitely be investigated, right? Wouldn't that still expose them?"

The mining god thought about it and it seemed to be true!

He quickly looked at Ji Ruo again: "Yes, yes, this may also expose you!"

He, who does not have a normal biological brain structure, has completely given up thinking at this moment.

Ji Ruo rolled his eyes and said, "Are you stupid? Who told you to give power all at once? You know about those elemental gods, right? Will they directly give power to their believers?

We can definitely learn from them, and open up a part of our own divine power and authority for believers to use in prayer... Well, don't use spells or anything like that, they are not practical and can be easily exposed. I suggest you just get a crystal god card or something, store a little bit of your own divine power in it, so that believers can use it directly when needed, without chanting.

As for the method of obtaining it... just put it in your dungeon. As a god, you definitely know who your believers are and how much faith power they have contributed to you. It's up to you to decide who to give it to and who not to give it to, right?

Believers who get the God Crystal Card will be more pious. At the same time, as a trump card, they will subconsciously keep secrets for you. Then you only need to give them some guidance..."

The Mining God was shocked: "Is this still possible?!"

…
