"Set up the stage! Set up the stage!"
"Recently, a major safety incident occurred in the Kunlun Mountains. A tour group accidentally got lost during their tour. Twenty-seven of the 35 people in the group were missing, which has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life."
"Some survivors claimed that their tour group mistakenly entered a ghost village, and they were lucky enough to survive thanks to the protection of the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan."
"At present, the search and rescue work for the missing persons has been launched."
"The Dianertai will follow up and report for you!"
"… "
Wang Ran's head was buzzing as he watched the video on his phone.
God of Wealth Wang Xuan
This title is exactly the same as the character he created when he was exploring the mysteries.
More importantly, when exploring the mysteries, the character he controlled, Wang Xuan, did encounter a tour group.
With such a coincidence, it was hard for him not to connect this news with his exploration of mysteries.
There is only one difference.
The tour group in the news said they mistakenly entered a ghost village and many people died.
But the villagers in the village where he explored the mysteries were all friendly... Could they be a group of ghosts who look down on people and treat them differently
"What's going on?"
He inquired.
[Please explore on your own]
The simulator responded vaguely.
Wang Ran understood.
This Wang Xuan is that Wang Xuan!
So last time when he was exploring the ghost village, he manipulated the God of Wealth to save several people from the tour group in the ghost village
Wang Ran felt incredible.
But if you think about it carefully, how could there be such modern things as travel tours in the mythological era
He should have noticed then.
Wang Ran took a deep breath, he checked the news carefully and found another blind spot.
"I didn't introduce myself to them when I was exploring the secrets, so how come they specifically said that the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, saved them?"
Wang Ran was confused.
He suddenly had an idea, turned on his computer, and entered the three words "God of Wealth" into the search bar.
In an instant, many entries popped up.
Wang Ran took a quick look and found that all these entries were about the God of Wealth Wang Xuan, and there was no mention of other gods of wealth.
He went straight to searching for other gods of wealth.
The martial god of wealth Zhao Gongming, the martial god of wealth Guan Yu, the civil god of wealth Bigan, the civil god of wealth Fan Li, the living god of wealth Shen Wansan…
Wang Ran was very surprised.
Because although these characters can be found, no connection between them and the God of Wealth can be found. It is as if an invisible sword has severed 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 stretched out before his eyes, and he clicked on a professional folklore website without hesitation.
"The God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, is in charge of the wealth of the world."
"In the first month of every year, there is a special worship period for the God of Wealth, just like the worship of heaven and earth in ordinary families. On the 18th day of the second month of every year, a play is also performed to pay tribute to him."
The beginning is normal, but there is a line of notes below.
"People worship him because..."
“Won’t He take away your fortune?!”
Wang Ran was confused.
Worshiping the God of Wealth is not for prosperity, but to prevent the God of Wealth from robbing you
What kind of outrageous reason for the sacrifice is this
Wang Ran read the page quickly. The more he read, the weirder his expression became, because the description of the God of Wealth Wang Xuan on this folk custom website was almost contrary to his impression of the traditional God of Wealth.
The traditional God of Wealth is in charge of life and fortune, protecting merchants and bringing in wealth.
The God of Wealth Wang Xuan also does similar things, but it is the nature of a gang collecting 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 his wealth will be snatched away by the God of Wealth, and your country will be destroyed and your family will be ruined.
Therefore, people from all walks of life worship the God of Wealth.
Wang Ran was silent.
He felt it was outrageous, yet also reasonable.
Because when exploring the mysteries, the God of Wealth Wang Xuan would carry out looting no matter what he did, which shows 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 was with the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan.
Ever since the end of that exploration, he has not had any contact with the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan.
"Can I control the God of Wealth by exploring the mysteries?"
He asked tentatively.
[When you explore the secrets with Wang Xuan, the God of Wealth, as the main character, you can manipulate his behavior to a certain extent]
The simulator responded.
Wang Ran nodded slowly.
Just like the last time he explored the mysteries, he can control the God of Wealth Wang Xuan through some options, but he cannot do whatever he wants.
He asked expectantly, "I remember I had a chance to explore the mysteries of the underworld. Can I control the God of Wealth to solve the apocalypse?"
He had previously completed a side milestone mission and gained a chance to explore a mysterious place.
The God of Wealth is a deity who accepts sacrifices, so he must be an expert in dealing with incense and vows. If we can get the God of Wealth to take action, the doomsday crisis will definitely be resolved!
Wang Ran felt hot inside.
The clay sculpture was impervious to any hardness and yet incredibly strong, so he really didn't know where to start.
He was already feeling lost, but the appearance of the God of Wealth Wang Xuan gave him new hope.
But the simulator's response was not optimistic.
[Exploring secrets is random. You cannot actively select 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 be randomly picked by a character other than the God of Wealth Wang Xuan. Even if it is still the God of Wealth Wang Xuan, he 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 viable way out.
Even if he could not manipulate the God of Wealth Wang Xuan to resolve the end of the world, he could just pass the message to the God of Wealth Wang Xuan's ears and let Him know that there was a place on earth with a lot of incense and vows.
Given the God of Wealth Wang Xuan's nature of plucking feathers from passing geese, there is no need to worry that he will not be tempted.
At that time, He will spontaneously look for incense and vows, and after finding them, destroy the monster that is in the making. It is simply too natural.
The only problem now is how to get this news to the ears of the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan.
A word popped up in Wang Ran’s mind.
Sacrifice!
Large-scale sacrifice!
This is the most effective way to communicate with the gods.
“We have to deal with the state again.”
Wang Ran murmured.
"We must organize a large-scale national sacrifice to 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, so I can 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 change little by little.
But things have changed.
Wang Ran thought for a few seconds and then dialed the old man's number.
Beep—
The call was picked up quickly.
"There is a new disaster."
Wang Ran went straight to the point.
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then the old man's helpless voice was heard.
"One wave after another?"
The doomsday of the giant beast's resurrection was just stopped the day before yesterday, and the evacuated people have not yet returned to Yong'an City, and now there is a new disaster...
Wang Ran sighed and said, "The last doomsday was completely over, this time is a new doomsday."
He also didn't expect the new doomsday to come so suddenly.
He paused for a moment and then continued, "The incense and wishes accumulated 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 get rid of it."
There was silence on the other end of the line again.
For an ordinary person, Wang Ran’s words were indeed 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 beings from a long time ago. We just don't know why they disappeared. After they left, humans still worshipped them, and the incense and prayer power generated settled somewhere on the earth."
"Now, these incense and wishes have been stimulated by something and have begun to breed a monster."
"The God of Wealth Wang Xuan is the only deity who has returned so far, and he is also the only one who has the ability to resolve this doomsday. We must contact him before the monster is born!"
The clay sculpture was too terrifying. Once it was completed, Wang Ran was worried that even the God of Wealth would not be able to defeat it.
The old man was silent for a while and then asked, "Is what the tour group said true?"
Since the existence of extraordinary beings became known, the official interest in various supernatural events has become stronger.
The old man not only watched the news about the tour group, but also personally gave instructions for the rescue.
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 rescue the members of 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, telling him that there are a lot of incense and vows on the earth, so that he can find the place where the incense and vows gather and kill the monster that is still in the making.”
Offering sacrifices can help to evoke communication between humans and gods, and will also generate the power of incense and vows, which the God of Wealth will definitely be able to sense.
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 alert the God of Wealth, Wang Xuan, but to be on the safe side it would be better to offer two more sacrifices.
The old man was silent for two seconds before answering, "Wait a minute, I need to discuss this with the others."
Wang Ran nodded and said, "Okay!"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the line.
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 well, I can give you a few more at my discretion."
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 nanorobot technology, space elevator construction technology, etc., as well as some special material synthesis technology. These are complementary to the previous ones."
Wang Ran heard the scientist's breathing become heavier.
There was silence on the other end of the line again.
This time, after a few minutes, the old man returned and asked gently, "When do you want the sacrifice to be held and how big do you want it to be?"
It looks like the conclusion has been reached.
Although it is an atheist country, it is not impossible to hold national sacrifices, just as a way to recall traditional culture.
Once China obtains controlled nuclear fusion technology, it will no longer have to worry about being strangled by others, and can even rely on this technology to break through the increasingly rigid international situation.
"At least 100 million people must participate." Wang Ran pondered, "Doomsday will officially break out in a month, but the monsters will be bred before then. I don't know exactly when, so the sooner the better."
The old man hesitated and said, "It's a bit difficult for 100 million people to offer sacrifices at the same time. Can we reduce the number of people to 30 million and increase the number of times to nine?"
Wang Ran thought for a moment and replied, "One hundred million people will offer sacrifices at the same time - at least once."
The super-large-scale sacrifice involving hundreds of millions of people is necessary because many people are offering sacrifices to the God of Wealth every day. If the God of Wealth is not given an exceptionally powerful impact, he may not notice them.
Next, they finalized the details.
The country will hold a large-scale sacrifice involving 100 million people in seven days, and then a small-scale sacrifice involving 30 million people every day, lasting 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 haggle over the remuneration because these technologies were nothing to him.
It is more important than anything else that the sacrifice can be carried out smoothly.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
Wang Ran hung up the phone.
His tense mood relaxed a little.
There is no way out.
There is always a bright future ahead.
The character who was exploring the mysteries 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 expedition, the God of Wealth Wang Xuan did not exist at all.
He chose the priesthood.
He picked the name.
This is a god he created out of thin air.
Does Wang Xuan himself know about this
Does Wang Xuan recognize him
Wang Ran had many questions in his mind, but no one could answer them.
Unless he meets the God of Wealth Wang Xuan in real life, he will have a chance to find out.
…
Although the Watcher Association was exchanging views with the evil god in District 3, the tense atmosphere of the war did not affect the bustling District 17 at all.
It's 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 isn't there one in the tower?"
"I remember putting it on the fourth floor!"
The God of Wealth Wang Xuan felt very distressed.
Because He lost something very precious—an ultimate VIP card with unlimited credit, which was personally given to Him by Mo Da when He represented Heaven to help build the world hub.
This card means a lot.
In addition to the fact that there is endless money in it, more importantly, when Mo Da is not around, he can use this card to borrow and manage the entire world hub.
With this card, he is equivalent to half the owner of the world hub!
But now the card is gone!
Wang Xuan held the pagoda in front of his eyes for the Nth time. He squinted his eyes and looked through the window. There were countless precious lights and rare treasures inside, but the only thing missing was the small black card he was looking for.
"It must have been stolen!"
After eliminating all impossible speculations, He came to a conclusion.
"Jade Emperor, you dare to steal even the God of Wealth, you must be tired of living!" He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and said, "If I find out who did it, I will make him poor for the rest of his life!"
If the God of Wealth gets angry, nine generations will be in poverty!
It’s a pity that He had no place to vent His anger, so it could only remain in His heart.
At this moment, a few lines of small words appeared before His eyes.
[Dear tourist friends, since your Morgan Stanley coins have been exhausted, you will be expelled back to the original world]
Wang Xuan rolled his eyes.
He is the God of Wealth and the Minister of Finance of Heaven, but he was expelled for having no money.
joke!
"Where's Morada? Come out and see me!"
…
"The soul travels through hundreds of lifetimes!"
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 Ages].
[Start simulation]
[On the first day, you sat up as soon as you opened your eyes]
Wang Ran activated [Time and Space Replacement] and launched [Soul Traveling Through the Worlds] at this position. The text in the simulator was filled with a mottled warm yellow halo of time.
He felt dizzy.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself sitting in the bedroom, with a gray sky outside the window.
"So easy?"
Is this a simulation
[Your roommate laughs]
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…”
"It makes my dad laugh to death!"
“This post is so fun!”
Wang Ran lowered his head and glanced under the bed, and saw his unlucky roommate holding a notebook and laughing, looking like he was about to die.
I've entered, but how do I exit
[Just recite it silently in your heart]
Wang Ran nodded, pushed himself up with both hands and jumped down from the **.
He patted his roommate on the shoulder: "You haven't played this post yet, right?"
After a moment of silence, the roommate replied, "Play!"
Wang Ran asked, "What wish did you make, and what are the side effects?"
The roommate replied: "I wish to have a beautiful girlfriend, and then give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and the side effect is that the children are my roommate's."
He said nonchalantly: "These people have really big imaginations!"
Wang Ran was silent.
After a while, he patted his roommate on the shoulder and said, "It's good for both of us if you're single."
