Chapter 227: God's Will

The mission Chen Zhi gave previously was truly impossible for Heinke to complete.

He very much wanted to be like Saina and the others, having many opportunities, but he had spent too long in the Sewers, and he hadn't had any friends in Tana City before; even if he left the Sewers now, it would be difficult for him to establish overly intimate connections with them.

Therefore, a target for proselytizing was very important to him.

Clearly, Mofate was just such a suitable target.

He had already inquired; neither Saina's nor Andrew's targets were Awakened. As an Awakened himself, it was necessary for him to set his own target higher.

For instance, Mofate.

"Fine, but you cannot reveal my existence." Chen Zhi had no objections; having one more Awakened helper was not a bad thing, especially since this Awakened had the intention of healing the sick and saving people.

Tana City was developing very quickly now, and many basic facilities were imperfect; for example, in the dock area, even the roads were repaved by the players themselves.

Unexpectedly, even a guy like Heinke had started to curry favor with the Lord of Calamity. Saina felt a sense of crisis, "I have also contacted that noble from Gannaer; given her experiences, becoming your Believer is not difficult."

Andrew also lowered his head and said, "The Believer I am spreading the faith to has already done a major deed in the Factory District. Those factories that imprisoned and exploited workers have been eradicated by us. Currently, the Wisdom Church is investigating this matter. However, rest assured, they will not be able to see the problem."

"That matter was done by you?" This time, even Chen Zhi was a bit surprised. Andrew was usually quiet and unassuming; he hadn't expected him to be capable of such an undertaking.

This was a major event that shook the entire Tana City.

Because of this, a portion of the merchants became suspicious of the Factory District.

An even greater portion of people became suspicious of the public security in Tana City.

As for those factories that did not exploit their employees, they issued a round of bonuses to their staff to appease their hearts.

In short, this matter might only be a small thing in the minds of the players.

But it was a major event that truly and genuinely affected the entire Tana City.

"You may have him pray to me; I will make him my devout Believer." Chen Zhi was very satisfied with this Believer; at least this Believer had truly done something.

Although the other party had affected the public security of the entire Tana City and caused the Wisdom Church a great headache, from Chen Zhi's perspective, he had done very well.

Those factory owners were riding roughshod over those workers, even using firearms to exploit them; if not for this incident, he and those people from other churches would never have known.

These workers had no way to escape from the factories; if not for this Believer, perhaps many factories would be the same as this one, making Tana City become more chaotic.

Wouldn't the witch be able to perform more sacrifices then?

After all, the seeds of evil had already been planted in the hearts of these factory owners.

Andrew was moved to tears; he knew that the Lord could see his efforts.

Even without the Lord's instructions, he was still spreading his own Believers.

And the others, while they appeared to respect the merciful Lord, still hadn't found a suitable candidate even now.

For example, Heinke.

This guy just wasn't devout enough; he had only just thought about who he should find to spread the Lord's faith.

One had to know that those creeds had been out for several days, and he had printed them out at the first opportunity and distributed them to those devout followers.

"We will also complete our missions as soon as possible." Saina lowered her head; she felt she also needed to take a trip to Gannaer and see how her old friend was doing.

At this moment, Mofate did not yet know that he had become the target of someone spreading their faith.

It wasn't just him who didn't know; the players didn't know either.

They were still accompanying Mofate to look at land, because this guy had already started considering where he should build if he were to establish a hospital.

Although he had no money, he still wanted to try.

After all, someone wanted to invest in him.

"If you are truly willing to invest, this plot of land should be the most suitable. It is relatively quick to come here from within the city, and it is not too far from the Military Camp of the War Church, and it also connects to the dock area."

The wasteland before them was considered the least valuable place on the edge of the dock area; weeds grew here, and even rats were unwilling to dig holes here because the surface was relatively dry and the alkalinity was high, making it unsuitable for growing Grain.

Although he didn't know why this particular plot of land had become so worthless, it should be the most suitable place to build a hospital.

Feng Buxi, who had come to inspect it with him, said, "I also think this place is good, it's just that the surrounding roads are not very good; although it is very close, we still need to rebuild the roads."

"That is true, perhaps we should think about it some more; after all, I haven't contacted my family yet." Hearing the other party's words, Mofate lost his resolve again.

He was not a good hand at business, and he was not outstanding within his family.

His luck was also uncommonly bad, so although he was full of ambition at the start, after looking at a dozen plots of land, he felt his confidence waning.

Feng Buxi didn't notice Mofate's hesitation; he was calculating in his heart, "We could let the people from the Wealth Church see if they want to invest in the roads, or contact the Municipal Building, but I suspect the Municipal Building is unwilling to spend this money; in the end, the problem will still fall on us."

"These plots don't seem to work; after all, the roads in Tana City are truly too poor. In many places, carriages cannot reach them, and one can only travel on foot."

The infrastructure of Tana City was a big problem.

No one was willing to bear these costs.

The Wealth Church of the past might have developed some infrastructure in order to make money.

But now that the Wealth Church had lost the management rights to the entire Tana City, how could they possibly invest in infrastructure for Tana City?

Currently, the Factory District was still growing wildly, and the dock area had been sold directly to the players; the road planning and municipal planning here were entirely the players' business and had nothing to do with the Municipal Building.

"Let's mark this plot first; I think this plot is the most suitable one we've seen during this time. I'll discuss it with a few shareholders later. Hmm, you should also consider the scope of the hospital's operations; we don't have any doctors among our personnel." Feng Buxi was very sincere; he actually wanted to have a few doctors from reality.

But which doctor in reality wasn't busy?

Even for an internal medicine physician, there was plenty of work to do; not to mention the research papers weighing on them, the daily patients and rounds were also issues.

It wasn't that no one who was a doctor had managed to grab a Helmet for the closed beta.

But the game time was truly a bit pitiful.

It wasn't that they didn't want to enter the game to play; who wouldn't want to be a bit more relaxed?

But their busy work gave them no reason to play this game, and they had to reduce their game time.

"You can even have doctors?" Mofate completely looked down on the treatment standards of these Xiahui People, "I think it's best if you don't let your barefoot doctors take the lead. Real doctors are all people who need to have ability to be qualified. I have passed the medical certification and also have a practicing physician license; I am much more reliable than those you have found."

"That is why we want to cooperate with you." If there wasn't even one regular doctor, how could this hospital be recognized by people?

Mofate suddenly became full of himself, "So it turns out you have a good eye after all. Enough talk, it's getting late, let's go eat a meal first."

"No problem, we have prepared duck blood tofu, I hope you will like it."

Even though Mofate is a Bloodthirsty, his taste buds do not require blood entirely; some of the delicacies of the Xiahui People are quite good.

It is just that the taste is a bit strange, and sometimes it is impossible to retain the flavor of blood.

……

In Gannaer, Lijia finally bought a ticket for the ship back to Tana City, and lay down on the velvet mattress in her bedroom as if letting out a sigh of relief.

She had been truly too tired these past few days; Baroness Arianna was very harsh toward her children, and once the people around knew that this daughter, who had been divorced for many years, had returned to Gannaer, she began arranging blind dates for her daughter.

She really could not stand her mother's arrangements, even though she also knew that this was all for her own good.

Rather than this, it would be better to return to Tana City as soon as possible, so she found a very good excuse, stating that she needed to develop her career in Tana City; those people who went on blind dates with her also had similar ideas, and no one wanted to miss this rare opportunity.

Thinking of her mother's disappointed expression, Lijia felt exhausted all over, as if she could not catch her breath.

She closed her eyes and recalled what her good friend had said to her.

Sometimes pain and Calamity are not necessarily wrong things; one must clearly realize that Calamity does not just represent a crisis, but may also represent a bright future.

This sounds ridiculous, but only Saina would say this to her.

Back then, Saina's status at home was very low; at noble gatherings, she was not even as popular as herself, a divorced noble, especially when there was not much property left under her own name, yet she would still be more popular than Saina.

However, in less than a year, Saina has become indispensable to the Municipal Building.

Many people even say that in the future, more than half of the City Lord's industries will need Saina to maintain them, and some say that in the future, Saina will become the new City Lord of Tana City.

She clutched the amulet Saina had given her; it was a cloth bag containing some Charms, including a Luck Charm and a Health Talisman, as well as some slips of paper and such, which were said to be for her to look at when she encountered difficulties after returning to Gannaer.

Lijia is not someone who likes to trouble others, so she had never looked at them during this time.

Now that she is returning to Tana City, her performance did not meet her mother's requirements, but it was already quite good. She did not know how many ways Saina would have to help her.

She silently opened the bag and poured out the things inside.

Several amulets carried a warm power; it seems this is the reason why she had been able to get by acceptably during this recent period.

A moved Lijia opened those slips of paper.

On the paper were prayers of the Wisdom church, which could provide her with Wisdom to avoid panic when encountering problems she could not solve.

It is a pity that she did not need these things; the real difficulties could not be solved by Wisdom, because those difficulties came from within her heart.

On another slip of paper was a prayer of the Wealth Church, which could allow her to have more opportunities to make money when encountering difficulties with wealth.

This was also not what she needed; she herself was a noble, and even if she did not make money, her mother would absolutely not let her suffer.

So she did not need these either.

Next, the Sun Church, the Beauty God Church, and even the War Church……

Countless prayers were opened, making Lijia feel somewhat helpless.

She is not a devout believer of the Death God; she knows that the Death God cannot solve her problems unless he sends her to the kingdom of the Death God.

But she did not have this courage, and the doctrine of the Death God did not support her doing so either.

She helplessly opened the last slip of paper.

Written on it was the method of praying to Calamity.

Calamity……

She did not understand why anyone would pray to Calamity.

However, upon second thought.

Calamity can bring people closer to Calamity, and it can also keep people away from Calamity, can it not?

Her biggest problem right now is that she is too unlucky; the people she meets are either lying to her or wanting to control her.

So she subconsciously recited this prayer in the Gannaer language.

"You are the deity representing suffering, the Calamity representing pain……" The Gannaer language is very similar to the Federal language, but its spirituality is higher.

Therefore, even though the distance was relatively far and Chen Zhi's gaze was not constantly fixed here, her prayer could still be seen by Chen Zhi at the first moment.

Seeing the dialog box in front of him inexplicably, Chen Zhi thought he had caught a virus.

Thinking about it, he is not a computer now, and the entire system is inside his own body, so it could not be a virus.

Usually there would be some dialog boxes, but those were prayers from Believers, which would be folded in the bottom right corner, and he could look at them whenever he wanted.

But this was the first time he had encountered one that popped up on its own.

This was a prayer from a woman named Lijia; the dialog box had the other party's name written on it, and she prayed for her own good luck, hoping that she could have the confidence to live on, develop her industry in Tana City, and never encounter scumbags again, and so on.

What kind of wishes are these? If you want to make money, you can go to the Wealth Church; if you want love, then go to the Beauty God Church, right?

Why come to me?

Chen Zhi originally wanted to close this dialog box and ignore it.

But he thought about it; this noble went from Tana City to Gannaer, her life was not going smoothly, and she wanted to return to Tana City—isn't this the person Saina wanted to spread the faith to?

At least it looked like it, otherwise the other party could not have come to pray to him.

"You may silently recite my name; I will not bestow suffering upon you, but the future is something you must strive for yourself." Chen Zhi sent this sentence over in the Gannaer language.

Soon, a line of small text appeared in front of Lijia.

She rubbed her eyes, feeling as if she were hallucinating.

It was not as if she had never hallucinated before, but in most cases, it would disappear in the time it took to blink her eyes.

But now, she rubbed her eyes, and that line of text still had not disappeared, and was even faintly glowing.
