Chapter 704

"You didn't think wrong, those things that look like dolls are actually living creatures, and those micro-manors are also real manors."

After picking up the money bag on the ground and throwing it to Hearing Hearing Li Ang, the lazy young man explained:

"That true god of the Weighing Gold Sect is a very pragmatic god. Although he also likes the faith offered by humans, compared to the kneeling and kowtowing of believers, he likes the concepts of 'wealth', 'exchange', 'value', 'commercial behavior' and so on that believers practice.

So the gathering of the Weighing Gold Sect is not so much a gathering as a no-holds-barred trading fair.

Believers and followers who believe in that true god will come here to buy and sell things they can take out for trading, which is a kind of alternative prayer. And everyone invited to enter the gathering will receive a temporary money bag, which contains a large amount of conceptual currency used for shopping."

"Conceptual currency?"

"That is... um... this is a bit troublesome to explain. Why don't you open this money bag and I'll give you an example directly."

"Ah, okay."

Following the method taught by Senior Tang Mu, Hearing Hearing Li Ang reached out and touched the cat claw badge on his chest, and then touched the same badge on the seal of the money bag. The money bag in Hearing Hearing Li Ang's hand opened by itself, revealing a pile of strange colorful currencies inside.

"Wow, your 'assets' are quite a lot!"

After looking at Hearing Hearing Li Ang's bulging money bag, the lazy young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, then pointed his finger at a golden coin on the top and said:

"Look here, the front of these conceptual currencies has patterns such as hearts, swords, holy cups, crosses, tarot cards, etc., representing things with value such as emotion, power, health, faith, secrets, etc.

For example, this coin of yours, the scepter pattern on the front represents power that can be used for trading. The lion on the back of this coin should refer to the lion heart crest of the Laien family.

So if I'm not wrong, this coin represents your identity as Duke Lionheart. If you are willing, you can use it to buy goods on the gathering square.

And the person who gets this currency can replace you as the Duke Lionheart of the kingdom... This is what I meant by 'conceptual currency'."

What?!

After listening to the lazy young man's words, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but be shocked, and then asked in disbelief:

"The Weighing Gold Sect can even do this kind of thing?"

"Of course they can do it."

The lazy young man raised his eyebrows:

"Don't underestimate the power of wealth. The concept of wealth is not limited to people. For all groups with social structures, from a nest of ants to demons in the abyss, wealth is a very important concept.

So although that true god of the Weighing Gold Sect is not good at fighting and can't beat our Director in a one-on-one fight, his status is not low. He can be counted as a very powerful true god, so doing this kind of thing is not difficult for him."

"But... this is already considered borrowing 'anomalous' to interfere with the kingdom, doesn't our Cleanup Bureau care?"

"It must be managed. Trading identities at the Duke level is definitely not allowed, but if it is a low-level identity transaction with little impact, and the royal family does not come to raise objections, most branches are not very willing to care about this kind of thing."

After opening his own money bag and taking a look, the lazy young man pulled Hearing Hearing Li Ang toward the center of the square while continuing to explain:

"The Weighing Gold Sect is a relatively gentle sect. Even if they make trouble, they rarely make too much trouble, and their abilities are very special, which can allow cleaners to get some useful things very conveniently, or repair the lifespan and limbs lost in missions. So most branches turn a blind eye to this sect. Only when they clearly cross the line will they take action to clear them out, warning them not to go too far.

For example, if a fool accepts your coin and doesn't go to the Weighing Gold Sect to exchange it, but wants to use it himself to be Duke Lionheart, the Weighing Gold Sect will suffer a disaster...

Oh, by the way, do you have anything you want? As long as it's not too expensive, I can help you buy it."

Things you want... wait! Aren't we here to save people? Why are you shopping?

"Senior Tang Mu!"

Faced with the lazy young man's sudden shopping proposal, Hearing Hearing Li Ang, worried about Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's safety, couldn't help but remind softly:

"Right now, Senior Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's danger has not been lifted, and I don't know how long she can hold on under the Snake Spirit. Shouldn't we find her first?"

"Don't worry, we are looking for her now."

After pointing to the arena-like building in the center of the square, the lazy young man explained while lowering his head to pick goods on the shelf:

"See that hollow ring building? The position we are in now is just the periphery of the Weighing Gold Sect gathering. That is the core area of the gathering, and only there is it possible to trap Auntie Auntie Ai Ma.

And the badges the two of us got are just the most basic believer badges. We need to complete enough 'consumption' in the periphery to let these two badges advance before we can get the qualification to enter the core area, so buying things is equal to looking for her."

After buying most of the messy things on the stall amidst the pleasantly surprised expression of the roadside stall merchant, the lazy young man looked back at Hearing Hearing Li Ang and smiled, then advised in a gentle tone:

"I know you have a good relationship with Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, so you are very anxious for her, but you'd better not act rashly.

Although I am also a Level 1 cleaner, I am not the type of battle-hardened person like Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, and most of the anomalous objects I hold are functional, with almost no frontal combat ability, and I don't have the ability to kill the Holy Spirit while being besieged.

So right now, we'd better not act rashly, but retain this identity, and before we alarm the high-level of the Weighing Gold Sect, mix into the core area of the gathering first... Come on, you go pick things first, and then I will pay for you."

"Okay... but it's better for you to pick things, and I'll pay!"

After thinking about the meaning of the currencies in the money bag, Hearing Hearing Li Ang suggested:

"For me, this Duke identity has no value. If you buy things here and need to use currencies like health or power, it's better for me to pay, so as not to affect your performance later."

"No need, my money can't be spent!"

After looking at Hearing Hearing Li Ang in surprise, the lazy young man shook his head and refused his proposal, then opened his money bag and showed it to Hearing Hearing Li Ang.

Holy shit, why so much?!!!

"I was already prepared before we entered the door."

In Hearing Hearing Li Ang's surprised gaze, the lazy young man, whose money bag was piled with coins of various colors, said with a face full of confidence:

"Remember the ritual I performed before entering the door? The group with copper weights, small silver mirrors, and two gold teeth as the main materials is a wealth secret ritual called 'Balance Law'.

From the moment the secret ritual took full effect, the property of the next person who gives me money will be completely shared with me, and the next person who gives me money just happens to be the badge made by the cat spirit of the Weighing Gold Sect.

So during these three hours when the Balance Law lasts, the wealth of the cat spirit of the Weighing Gold Sect will be at my disposal. If I weren't worried that taking too much would be discovered, we could even buy everything here!"
