Chapter 477 Stable Development
The newbie thought he was going to be criticized.
Ah Ju, however, held a cup above his head, bent his waist, and respectfully approached a tentacle. He acted mysteriously in front of everyone and received a small cup of light amber liquid.
Then he looked down at the newbie and handed the cup to the newbie's recommender: "His offering pleased the gods."
"Holy, holy water?!" The recommender sniffed lightly and smelled the fragrance of plants and flowers.
He wanted to try it, but felt embarrassed in front of so many people, so he could only hand the cup to the eager newbie.
The newbie's heart was excited, and he took the cup with trembling hands and drank it all in one gulp, then smacked his lips in savoring the taste.
The recommender asked him, "How do you feel?"
This thing has just been swallowed, who knows how it works? Even if it is dichlorvos, it won't take effect so quickly, unless it is sulfuric acid.
Facing so many curious looks, the newbie could only bite the bullet and say, "It's really holy water. After drinking it, I just felt relaxed and like I was reborn. My waist and legs that were originally painful are no longer painful."
It was just ginseng water mixed with honey. If you said that you felt more energetic after drinking it, Xia Zhizhi believed it. But as for other things, Xia Zhizhi didn't believe it at all.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether Xia Zhizhi believes it or not, as long as other people believe it.
However, because of this action, Keith Kadiwenxu, who thought he had a good relationship with Aju, secretly went to inquire why Zhishen liked that kind of thing.
Ah Ju hesitated for a moment before telling Keith Kadiwenxu: "Thousands of years ago, Zhi Shen once cast his gaze on that land and enlightened several believers. It was probably because those things made Him feel familiar."
Keith Cardiwen didn't know what was going on in his mind, and he lowered his head and muttered, "No wonder that place was so incredibly glorious in the past. It turns out that it's because... I said, we white people are the most powerful."
Ah Ju no longer cared about him and just said, "For the time being, you will manage the trivial matters of the church. I will not attend the initiation ceremonies in the future."
Keith Kadivunshi asked again: "So, the matter of communicating with the gods and offering sacrifices..."
Ah Ju thought for a moment and said, "Let's change it to once a month. When the time comes, you guys can make the arrangements and let me know."
Ah Ju wasn't discussing it with him, and Keith Cardivin had no choice but to agree. After all, half a month of soul-hunting had already passed.
The pork marks on everyone's body have faded. The old believers were a little worried at first, but Ah Ju said it was okay.
After half a month of hard work, everyone was able to pull the first person offline. Three people from the previous batch were sent back. After seeing the obviously different mental outlook of the newbies, they repented and later rejoined.
Performance achieved, KPI assessment met targets.
The gods had sensed their piety and had hidden the mark.
Since Ah Ju said it was okay, everyone naturally felt relieved.
Without the worry about their lives, the development of personnel naturally could not be as rapid as the first batch. After all, they prefer quality over quantity.
This is a pyramid scheme disguised as religion. Some people even started sending letters to try to get their close friends and relatives to join the cult.
Seeing that the church was developing very well, Xia Zhizhi stopped keeping an eye on it every day.
After all, to her, white people really stink.
Xia Zhizhi really felt that there was no one in this group who didn't stink, it was just a matter of degree. Some people's stink was less severe, so they just washed themselves up and sprayed some perfume, and they couldn't smell anything because of the social distance.
Some people are simply, smelly, and wear a lot of perfume, just like walking biological weapons.
The only way to get rid of body odor these days is perfume. When a group of people with both good smells and bad smells are put into a closed place, it's like stinky tofu fermenting. Xia Zhizhi has to pinch her nose every time she receives the things.
Although it was said to be a high-end banquet, the smell to her was no different from that of a seafood stall.
Ah Ju finally had some free time, and he and Xia Zhizhi entered the space and began to sort out what they had gained during this period.
In addition to the usual jewelry, some people also gave him a batch of domestic antiques based on Ah Ju's description and his preferences.
Not only domestic ones, but also foreign ones.
Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to check it out, repair what needed to be repaired, organize what needed to be organized, put them in order, and display them one by one on shelves in the space.
She thought that if she let the church develop on its own, she could take a ship to other continents to appear before the people when the time was right, and she would be able to make a fortune.
She doesn't care how the people in the church run their business, she just wants the treasure.
In fact, she could just go to someone's house and clean up.
It just takes a bit of effort. Not only does he have to travel all over the place, but other people's things are placed here and there. It's impossible to pack them up in boxes and leave them at the dock waiting for him to pick up the goods.
How much energy would it take to search all over the world for these things, not to mention that there was really no need for her to collect all the things in the world into her own space.
The most important thing is that no matter how you look at it, this behavior is stealing.
She didn't mind being a thief, but she had to give an explanation for the things she stole.
One or two will do.
Too many words would be too noticeable.
Having said so much, she is just lazy.
Nothing you do yourself can compare to something offered to you by others.
Think about it, when there are more believers, maybe people with higher social status will join.
Most people would worry that people with high social status would lead their church astray after joining, but she doesn't have that concern. When the time comes, she will just appear alone in front of people. Why would she be afraid of not being able to win them over?
People with higher social status would collect more offerings for her that would suit her preferences.
Who says that you only have to pay membership fees when you join? Don’t we also have to pay during festivals?
Moreover, rich people can be divided into the average rich and the super rich. Richer people burn higher-ranking incense sticks. Everyone understands this principle.
So they will offer more, better and higher quality tributes.
As for the future, if people discover that those things were once offered to the gods.
Xia Zhizhi spread her hands and said, "Your God thinks I'm cute, so why not give it to me?"
Of course, it’s okay, it seems like it’s okay, but I’m just too lazy to talk about it.
Xia Zhizhi immediately said to Ah Ju: "Tell them that the offerings must be packaged properly and that the registration booklet can only be handled by Keith Cardivenxu."
Anyway, Keith Kadiwenxu is already in his teens and will die in a few years. When he dies, who will know what is inside?
As for the person who sent the gift, what would it matter even if he knew?
According to Xia Zhizhi's personality, good things must be brought domestically.
When Xia Zhizhi opens a museum in China in the future, the people who made offerings may not necessarily go to China to see it. After they go there, there will be so many exhibits, and he may not be able to find the ones he contributed. Even if he finds the ones he contributed, he cannot be sure that they are the ones he handed in.
Even if he is sure that he handed it in himself, then it will be over if Xia Zhizhi denies it. Come and condemn her if you have the guts!
Perfect.
