Chapter 169 (5K subscription required) A ray of hope
after a dark period "Zhuangmiantai! Zhuangmiantai!"
"Recently, a major safety accident occurred in the Kunlun Mountain area. A tour group accidentally got lost during the tour. Twenty-seven of the 35 people in the group were missing, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life." "
A survivor claimed that the tour group mistakenly entered a ghost village, and was fortunately protected by the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, and survived."
"Currently, the search and rescue work for the missing has begun."
"Zhuangmiantai will follow up and report for you!"
"."
Wang Ran looked at the video on his phone, his head buzzing. The title
of God of Wealth, Wang Xuan,
is exactly the same as the character he created when he was exploring the mysteries.
More importantly, when he was exploring the mysteries, the Wang Xuan he manipulated did encounter a tour group.
With such a coincidence, it was hard for him not to connect this news with his exploration of the mysteries.
There was only one difference.
The tour group in the news said that they mistakenly entered a ghost village and many people died.
But the villagers in the village where he was exploring were all friendly and amiable... Could they be a group of ghosts who look at people and treat them differently?
"What's going on?"
he asked.
[Please explore on your own]
The simulator responded to him vaguely.
Wang Ran understood.
This Wang Xuan is that Wang Xuan!
So last time he was exploring the mysteries, he manipulated the God of Wealth to save several people from the tour group in the ghost village?
Wang Ran felt incredible.
But thinking carefully, how could there be such modern things as tour groups in the mythological era?
He should have noticed it at the time.
Wang Ran took a deep breath. He carefully checked the news and found another blind spot.
"I didn't introduce myself to them when I was exploring the secrets. How come they specifically said that the God of Wealth Wang Xuan saved them?"
Wang Ran was puzzled.
He suddenly had an idea and turned on the computer and typed the three words "God of Wealth" into the search bar.
In an instant, many entries popped up.
Wang Ran scanned them and found that these entries were all about the God of Wealth Wang Xuan, and other gods of wealth were not mentioned at all.
He searched for other gods of wealth directly.
The God of Wealth Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth Guan Yu, the God of Wealth Bigan, the God of Wealth Fan Li, and the God of Wealth Shen Wansan Wang
Ran was very surprised.
Because although these characters can be searched out, they cannot be found to have any connection with the God of Wealth, as if an invisible sword has cut off the connection between these characters and the title of "God of Wealth". There
is only one God of Wealth in this world!
God of Wealth Wang Xuan
"Unbelievable, what's going on?"
Wang Ran was very surprised.
He simply searched for "God of Wealth Wang Xuan".
Densely packed entries lay before him, and he clicked on a professional folk custom website without thinking.
"God of Wealth Wang Xuan is in charge of the world's wealth."
"The first month of each year is a special worship period for the God of Wealth, just like the worship of heaven and earth by ordinary people. On the 18th day of the second month of each year, a play is also offered as a reward."
The beginning was normal, but there was a note below.
"People worship him for..."
"To prevent him from taking away their fortune?!"
Wang Ran was confused.
Worshiping the God of Wealth is not for good fortune, but for the God of Wealth not to take away their fortune?
What kind of absurd reason for worshiping the God of Wealth is this?
Wang Ran read the page quickly. The more he read, the weirder his face became, because the description of the God of Wealth Wang Xuan on this folk custom website was almost the opposite of the traditional God of Wealth in his impression.
The traditional God of Wealth is in charge of fortune, protecting merchants and bringing in wealth.
The God of Wealth Wang Xuan also does similar things, but it is the nature of the Heishen Society to collect protection fees. If you worship him, you can operate normally, but if you don't worship him, you can't operate.
The website calls this offering a tax.
No matter who you are, even the emperor, you have to pay taxes to the God of Wealth, otherwise the God of Wealth will take away your wealth and end up with the destruction of your country and your family.
Therefore, all kinds of people worship the God of Wealth.
Wang Ran was silent.
He felt it was absurd, but also reasonable.
Because when exploring the mysteries, the God of Wealth Wang Xuan would rob no matter what he did, so it can be seen that the records on the folk custom website are not groundless.
The God of Wealth really loves to steal things.
Wang Ran fell into deep thought.
He didn't understand what his relationship with the God of Wealth Wang Xuan was.
Since the end of the exploration, he has never had any contact with the God of Wealth Wang Xuan.
"Can I control the God of Wealth through exploring the mysteries?"
he asked tentatively.
[When you explore the Mystery with Wang Xuan, the God of Wealth, as the main character, you can control his behavior to a certain extent]
The simulator responded to him.
Wang Ran nodded slowly.
Just like the last time he explored the Mystery, he could control Wang Xuan, the God of Wealth, through some options, but he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
He asked expectantly, "I remember I had a chance to explore the mysteries. Can I control the God of Wealth to solve the doomsday?"
He had previously completed a branch milestone mission and obtained a chance to explore the mysteries.
The God of Wealth is a deity who accepts sacrifices. He must be an expert in dealing with incense and wishes. If the God of Wealth can take action, the doomsday crisis will definitely be solved!
Wang Ran's heart was burning.
The clay sculpture was not soft and hard, and it was terribly strong. He really didn't know where to start.
He was already confused, but the appearance of the God of Wealth Wang Xuan gave him new hope.
But the simulator's response was not optimistic.
[Exploring the Mysteries is random, you cannot actively choose a character, nor can you assign tasks to a character]
Wang Ran asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
[Next time you explore the Mysteries, you may choose a random character instead of the God of Wealth Wang Xuan. Even if it is still the God of Wealth Wang Xuan, the God of Wealth Wang Xuan may not necessarily help you resolve the doomsday crisis]
[Please do not have any expectations for this]
Hearing this, Wang Ran was a little disappointed.
But he was not discouraged, because this was still a feasible way out.
Even if he could not manipulate the God of Wealth Wang Xuan to resolve the doomsday, as long as he could get the news into the ears of the God of Wealth Wang Xuan and let him know that there is a place on earth with a lot of incense and wishes.
With the God of Wealth Wang Xuan's nature of plucking feathers from a passing goose, there is no worry that he will not be tempted.
At that time, He will spontaneously look for incense and vows, and it is only natural that He will find the power to destroy a monster that is being nurtured.
The only problem now is how to get this news to the ears of the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan.
A word came to Wang Ran's mind.
Sacrifice!
Large-scale sacrifice!
This is the most effective way to communicate with the gods.
"I have to deal with the country again."
Wang Ran murmured.
"We must organize a large-scale national sacrifice, so that we can ensure that the God of Wealth gets the news." He said thoughtfully, "It just so happens that I bought a batch of advanced technologies from the World Hub, and I will give a few of them as rewards to the country."
He originally planned to let the Apostles of Dawn master the technology first, and then promote social changes bit by bit.
But the situation has changed.
Wang Ran thought for a few seconds, then dialed the old man's number.
Beep -
the phone was quickly picked up.
"A new disaster has come."
Wang Ran said straight to the point.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then the old man's helpless voice came out.
"One wave has not yet subsided, another wave has come?"
The doomsday that just stopped the giant beast from reviving the day before, and the evacuated people have not yet completely returned to Yong'an City, and now there is a new disaster.
Wang Ran sighed: "The last doomsday has completely ended, this time it is a new doomsday."
He didn't expect the new doomsday to come so suddenly.
He paused and continued: "The incense and wishes deposited on the earth gave birth to a terrifying monster. Now this monster is in the process of being conceived. I would like to ask the God of Wealth to solve it."
The other end of the phone was silent again.
To an ordinary person, Wang Ran's words were indeed a bit unbelievable.
If it weren't for Wang Ran's special identity, the old man might have hung up the phone.
Wang Ran explained: "The gods really exist. They are extraordinary people from a long time ago. It's just that no one knows why they disappeared. After they left, humans still worshipped them, and the incense and wishes generated settled somewhere on the earth."
"Now these incense and wishes are stimulated by something and begin to breed a monster."
"The God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, is the only god who has returned so far, and he is also the only one who can resolve this doomsday. We must contact him before the monster is born!"
The clay sculpture was too scary. If it was fully bred, Wang Ran was worried that even the God of Wealth would not be a match.
The old man was silent for a while and then asked, "Is what the tour group said true?"
Since knowing the existence of supernatural beings, the government has become more interested in various supernatural events.
The old man not only read the news about the tour group, but also personally issued a rescue order.
Wang Ran was a little surprised by the old man's question, but he answered without hesitation, "I don't know, but the part about meeting the God of Wealth Wang Xuan is definitely true. I have special channels to verify it."
It was he who manipulated the God of Wealth Wang Xuan to save the tour group.
The old man was silent for a while and then asked, "What do you want the country to do?"
He knew that Wang Ran must have called to ask the country for help.
Wang Ran replied, "I hope the country will organize several large-scale sacrificial activities to convey information to the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, and tell him that there are many incense and wishes on the earth, so that he can find the place where the incense and wishes gather and kill the monsters that are still in the making."
Sacrifices have the effect of sympathy between humans and gods, and will also give rise to incense and wishes. The God of Wealth will definitely be able to sense it.
The old man pondered and said, "Large-scale sacrificial activities. Our country is an atheist country. It is unreasonable for the government to organize such activities."
Given the national conditions, some things are indeed inconvenient to do.
Wang Ran understood the old man's difficulties, but he needed the country's help. He said in a deep voice, "I have controlled nuclear fusion technology."
Controlled nuclear fusion is a technology that has been mentioned in countless science fiction works.
This technology means unlimited energy.
It can not only help human technology advance by leaps and bounds, but also ease the internal friction of the entire human civilization surrounding resources and repair the earth's ecology that has been damaged by industrial development.
The old man asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
Wang Ran replied, "I have complete controlled nuclear fusion technology. I need the country to organize three large-scale sacrificial activities. After the three sacrifices are completed, I will hand over this technology to the country."
In fact, Wang Ran felt that one sacrifice would be enough to alarm the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, but it would be better to sacrifice twice to be on the safe side.
The old man was silent for two seconds and then replied, "Wait a minute, I need to discuss it with others."
Wang Ran nodded and said, "Okay!"
There was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone.
Wang Ran waited patiently.
After a few minutes, a strange and slightly excited voice came from the microphone.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Ran."
"Excuse me, do you really have complete controlled nuclear fusion technology?"
This is obviously a scientist.
Wang Ran nodded and said, "I not only have controlled nuclear fusion technology, I also have some more powerful technologies. If the cooperation goes smoothly, I can give you a few more as gifts."
The scientist asked nervously, "What other technologies
do you have?" Wang Ran recalled his shopping list at the Morgan Stanley Mall and replied, "Space expansion technology, planetary ecological transformation technology, advanced nano-robot technology, space elevator construction technology, etc., and some special material synthesis technology, which are complementary to the previous ones."
Wang Ran heard the scientist's breathing become heavy.
The other end of the phone was quiet again.
A few minutes later, the old man came back and asked gently, "When do you want to hold the sacrifice and how large do you want it to be?"
It seemed that they had already discussed the result.
Although it is an atheist country, it is not impossible to hold national sacrifices, just as a reminder of traditional culture.
Once China obtains controlled nuclear fusion technology, it will no longer worry about being strangled by others, and can even rely on this technology to open up the increasingly rigid international structure.
"At least 100 million people must participate." Wang Ran thought, "The doomsday will officially break out in a month, but the monsters will be bred before that. I don't know exactly when it will happen, so the sooner the better."
The old man hesitated and said, "It's a bit difficult for 100 million people to sacrifice at the same time. Can we reduce the number of people to 30 million and increase the number of times to nine times?"
Wang Ran thought for a while and replied, "100 million people sacrifice at the same time - at least once."
A super-large sacrifice of 100 million people is necessary, because many people sacrifice to the God of Wealth every day. If the God of Wealth is not given an extra strong impact, the God of Wealth may not notice them.
Next, they finalized the details.
The country will hold a large-scale sacrifice of 100 million people in seven days, and then hold a small-scale sacrifice of 30 million people every day, for a total of seven days.
As a reward, Wang Ran will transfer the controlled nuclear fusion technology to the country after the large-scale sacrifice, and after all the sacrifices are over, he will transfer several additional material technologies.
Wang Ran did not compete in terms of rewards, because these technologies were nothing to him.
The smooth holding of the sacrifice is better than anything else.
"Happy cooperation."
Wang Ran hung up the phone.
His tense mood relaxed a little.
When you think there is no way out,
there is always a way out.
The character who explored the mystery actually appeared in reality, and became the key to his breakthrough.
"I just don't know what the relationship between me and Wang Xuan is?"
Objectively speaking, before he went on that exploration, Wang Xuan, the God of Wealth, did not exist at all.
He chose the priesthood and
gave it his name .
This is a god he created out of thin air.
Does Wang Xuan know about this?
Does Wang Xuan know him?
Wang Ran has many questions in his mind, but no one can answer them.
Unless he meets the God of Wealth Wang Xuan in reality, then he will have a chance to find out.
Although the Watcher Association is exchanging views with the evil god in the third district, the tense atmosphere of the war has not affected the seventeenth district with its bright lights and feasting.
It is still prosperous here.
A figure in a brocade robe squatted on the side of the road, looking at the Kun-shaped aircraft floating in the sky, his eyes full of confusion.
"Jade Emperor, where is my VIP card?"
"Why is it not in the tower?"
"I remember putting it on the fourth floor!"
The God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, was very distressed.
Because he had lost something very precious - an ultimate VIP card with unlimited credit, which was personally given to him by Mo Da when he represented the Heavenly Court to help build the World Hub.
This card is of great significance.
In addition to the endless money in it, more importantly, when Mo Da is not around, he can use this card to manage the entire World Hub.
With this card, he is equivalent to being half the owner of the World Hub!
But now this card is missing!
Wang Xuan held the pagoda in front of his eyes for the Nth time. He squinted his eyes and looked through the crack of the window. There were countless precious treasures inside, but the only thing missing was the small black card he was looking for.
"It must have been stolen!"
After ruling out all impossible speculations, he came to a conclusion.
"Jade Emperor, even the God of Wealth dared to steal, how stupid!" He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "If I find out who did it, I will make him poor for 18 lifetimes!"
The God of Wealth was angry, and nine generations of people were poor!
It's a pity that he has no place to vent his anger, and can only let it hang in his heart.
At this time, a few lines of small words appeared in front of his eyes.
[Dear tourist friend, because your Morgan coins have been used up, you will be expelled back to the original world]
Wang Xuan rolled his eyes.
He is the God of Wealth, the Minister of Finance of the Heavenly Palace, but he was expelled because he had no money.
What a joke!
"Where is Morgan? Come out and see me!"
"Soul Wandering Through the Worlds!"
After Wang Ran relaxed, he was ready to see what the clay sculpture would do to the world if he didn't interfere.
By the way, test the effect of [Soul Wandering Through the Worlds].
[Start the simulation]
[On the first day, you sat up as soon as you opened your eyes]
Wang Ran activated [Time and Space Replacement] and [Soul Traveling Through the Worlds] at this position. The text in the simulator was mottled with warm yellow moonlight.
He felt dizzy.
When he woke up again, he found himself sitting on the bed in the dormitory, and the window was gray.
"So easy?"
Did you enter the simulation?
[Your roommate laughed]
A line of small words appeared in front of Wang Ran's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a burst of laughter from below.
"Hahahahahaha"
"I laughed my ass off!"
"This post is so funny!"
Wang Ran looked down at the bed and saw his unlucky roommate holding a notebook and laughing, looking like he was about to die.
I'm in, but how do I exit?
[Just recite it silently in your mind]
Wang Ran nodded, propped up his hands and jumped off the bed.
He patted his roommate on the shoulder: "You haven't played this post yet, have you?"
The roommate was stunned for a moment and replied: "I have played it!"
Wang Ran asked: "What wish did you make, and what are the side effects?"
The roommate replied: "I wished to have a beautiful girlfriend, and then give me a dragon-phoenix twin. The side effect is that the child is my roommate's."
He said nonchalantly: "These people have really wild imaginations!"
Wang Ran was silent.
After a while, he patted his roommate on the shoulder: "It's good for both of us if you are single."
Please give me a monthly ticket, slurp
