Chapter 118 Don’t pretend to be cool after waking up!
It is said that in prosperous times people trust the imperial court, and in troubled times people pray to gods and Buddhas. This means that when the people can no longer make ends meet, the government is powerless and they can only seek false gods to worship in order to get psychological comfort.
However, after seeing the people coming from Wangjia Village with their own eyes, every village chief had to believe that there might really be gods in this world, because only gods could heal a person's injuries as before.
In one of the Wujia villages, there was an old doctor who had been practicing medicine for many years. In his early years, he had also opened a pharmacy outside. Later, he offended a woman in the backyard of the compound and was angered by those high-ranking officials. He returned to the village in anger and has been helping people in several nearby villages to see doctors ever since.
It can be said that he has become very old over the years, and he has witnessed many legs broken by his father being sent to him, not for treatment, but to see if they are fatal.
When conscription was at its peak, it happened every six months. How could anyone in the village send up? So, every household began to think of ways to avoid going. Knowing that a lame leg or a broken arm could prevent them from going, they all took action. It wasn't like they were putting all their children to death; most families only had one child left. If that child left, the whole family would starve to death.
In this situation, Dr. Wu also prescribed medicine for these children who were in unbearable pain. Later, he watched these children grow up one by one to become strong men who could support their families. In Beiyang, lameness was not something that people looked down upon. Almost every family had one as the only surviving son. The other children died outside and few of them came back.
But in his own village, Dr. Wu saw with his own eyes that the leg he had treated in the past was not only intact and could walk, but there was not even a single scar on it. He knew that this was not something that an ordinary person could do.
Many villages came here in a hurry, and when they actually entered the territory of Wangjia Village, they realized how different everything was.
Not to mention anything else, from the moment you enter Wangjia Village, all you see is green grass. When you reach the crops, the heavy ears of wheat make you dare not even take your eyes away. The ground is not as dry and horrible as their own fields, but is moist. Even the weeds on the roadside have beautiful little flowers, and many children are picking flowers.
Along the way, they listened to the stories of Lord Dragon King and the Star God in confusion. They learned that the Star God liked flowers, so now the children in Wangjia Village who could not work would come out to pick flowers and send them to the Star God's house.
This scene was like entering a paradise. The drought outside seemed to have nothing to do with Wangjia Village, which made several village chiefs finally confirm that it must be an inhuman power that could do all this.
Village chief Wang had been waiting outside the village for a long time. In order to prevent them from disturbing the Star God, he stopped everyone. When it was getting dark, the village chiefs of several villages had already arrived.
This time, a total of six villages next to Wangjia Village were contacted, namely Mengjia Village, Chenjia Village, Lijia Village, Zhoujia Village, Fangjia Village, and Wujia Village. Other more distant villages were too far away and could not be notified for the time being.
"I know what you are going to say, but please follow me."
Wang Shan noticed that the village heads and the villagers who came over seemed hesitant to speak, and he also understood that their Wangjia Village was now very different from before. This was the blessing bestowed by Lord Dragon King!
So Wang Shan brought everyone to the Dragon King Temple. The newly built Dragon King Temple looked red from a distance. When they got here, just standing outside and looking from a distance, they could see a red statue with black armor enshrined inside, and the statue was surrounded by a giant black dragon.
Such a shocking and inexplicably terrifying existence made everyone dare not say a word. They followed Wang Shan into the Dragon King Temple and then watched Wang Shan skillfully kneel three times and kowtow nine times, and then burn incense.
Everyone knelt down as well, although they were still somewhat confused. However, it was innate in humans to maintain a certain level of reverence towards any unknown god.
"This is Canglang, the Dragon King of the West Sea. The Dragon King heard that we are experiencing a drought in Beiyang. Considering the reason why the Hundred Changes Star Lord was exiled to Beiyang, he is willing to help us solve the drought problem. However, if you want to receive the rain from the Dragon King, you must be sincere in your heart."
Wang Shan told everyone about how he prayed to the river god that day and finally got the Dragon King. Everyone immediately understood what he meant, and then, led by the village chief of Wujia Village, they immediately knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to the Dragon King.
Although the Lord Dragon King has an extraordinary appearance, as long as he can save lives, his appearance is not important. Isn't that what gods are like?
"We will return to the village and inform the villagers of the Dragon King's kindness. We will then build an altar and ask the Dragon King to send down a rain of blessings."
The rest was naturally not mentioned. If Lord Dragon King really sent down the rain, then their village would spontaneously become believers of Lord Dragon King. This was inevitable.
I inexplicably developed a belief in this strange Lord Dragon King, especially when I arrived at Wangjia Village. Everything I saw was enough to make everyone believe it.
Although each of these village chiefs is extremely intelligent, they are powerless in the face of natural disasters. Now, if there really is a Dragon King who can solve the drought, everyone is willing to worship the Dragon King, at least to prevent the people from ending up with nothing and the villagers from being displaced.
Wang Shan saw that everyone was smart, so he asked them to rush back overnight. As for when they would pray to the gods and whether the Dragon King could sense their sincerity, that was not something Wang Shan could guarantee.
Qin Lang received a lot of faith points. It must be said that it seemed that the village chief Wang Shan acted quickly. The news that there was a Dragon King in Wangjia Village had spread, so the faith points were rising rapidly.
No one in the villages slept that night. Several village chiefs returned to their villages in the middle of the night, but they still woke everyone up by beating drums and gongs, telling everyone about the Dragon King. They immediately began to arrange sacrifices, just like offerings to gods, and told everyone that the Dragon King could not only send down sweet rain, but the divine rain could also cure all diseases when it fell on people. This instantly made many villagers fanatical.
After a long period of no rain, everyone had been wanting to offer sacrifices to the river god. Now that the Dragon King was here, it sounded even more impressive! So everyone was very supportive, and Qin Lang was woken up several times that night.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for achieving 10,000 Faith Points.]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for reaching 15,000 Faith points.]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for achieving 20,000 Faith Points.]
After three consecutive times, it was already late at night. Qin Lang was helpless and complained to the system.
"Do you still want me to sleep? Didn't you block the faith value before? Why are you still broadcasting?"
Although he had taken the fasting pill, Qin Lang's body was still human and he still had to sleep.
[Host, I'm just so happy! My Faith Points are increasing so fast! I believe I'll be able to purchase a God-level suit soon!]
Wait...are systems just empty promises these days?
Qin Lang sneered. He was in a bad mood because he was woken up. He directly opened the system clothing mall, opened the god-level suit page inside, and sneered.
"Haha, system, take a good look at it. How many zeros are there?"
That’s right, there is nothing wrong with giving away a god-level suit at the beginning, but when Qin Lang looked through the god-level suits in the system mall, he found that god-level suits do exist, but you have to be able to afford them.
The price of any god-level suit is one million faith points.
In other words, the 20,000 faith points that make the system happy now are just a drop in the bucket.
[…Host, please continue to work hard. I will block the reminder. 100,000 Faith Points are broadcast again. Please have a good rest.]
Qin Lang was so angry that he encountered such a stupid system. It seemed that it was not mature yet, so he deliberately blackmailed the other party.
"You always wake me up with your nightly announcements. Even though I'm not eating, I'm still human. If I don't sleep, I'll die. If someone finds me then, how can I increase my Faith Points?"
Qin Lang complained that the dressing system seemed to be in the wrong, and then a pop-up window appeared to Qin Lang's dressing system mall to please him.
[Endless Sleepless Pill] is sold for 0 faith value.
[I'm sorry to bother you, host. To make up for my mistake, I'll give you a pill as a gift. Please don't be angry.]
Qin Lang bought it directly, it was free anyway.
I only discovered how strange this thing was after I bought it.
[Endless Sleepless Pill]: After taking this pill, you no longer need to sleep and will be full of energy all day long. It can replace the effect of sleep through sunlight and moonlight. It is a magical medicine for health care.
...Oh my god!
I said you woke me up, so is it okay if you just don't let me sleep?
In such ancient times, in such a chaotic world, if you can't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing? Get up to check the mall? Or something else? Qin Lang suddenly realized that the system was not letting him sleep, intending to wait for the task to refresh! How sneaky!!!
He was so angry that he laughed at this cunning system. He couldn't sleep anyway. In this chaotic world, since he didn't eat or go to the toilet, it seemed that it would be okay not to sleep. Qin Lang was so angry that he opened the jade bottle directly, took out a sleepless pill from it and put it into his mouth.
The moment Qin Lang swallowed the pill, the sleepiness in his mind completely disappeared, and his mind instantly became extremely clear, just like the refreshed feeling after drinking coffee. And most importantly, it made his whole body no longer tired, as if he was full of energy.
This medicine is really good, and it will help him establish his image as a god.
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Qin Lang decided to take another look at the dress-up system mall. There were only 20,000 faith points now, so he had to spend them sparingly. However, before, the more than 200 people in Wangjia Village had only provided a total of more than 8,000 faith points, but today the number of people from other villages had skyrocketed to more than 20,000.
I believe that as long as the news about the Dragon King spreads everywhere, hundreds of thousands of faith points should not be a problem.
Just when Qin Lang was wondering when he could unlock the god-level suit for the second time, he suddenly heard the system's task prompt sound.
[Ding Dong! A new mission has begun. Host, please bring down a rain of blessings upon Wu Village and receive offerings from the believers of Wu Village. Mission countdown: 59:59...]
Wow! It's really a mission!
Qin Lang looked at the darkness outside the window. It was only about three o'clock, but a village had already started a sacrifice to summon him, the Dragon King.
But since he couldn't sleep anyway, Qin Lang chose to accept the mission directly. The next moment, he changed into [Dragon Roar Nine Heavens] and transformed into a black dragon, rushing into the sky. In a flash, he arrived above Wujia Village...
