Chapter 73: The Opportunity for Awakening

"You have done well. I think you have already surpassed yourself. I wonder if you have any interest in becoming one of us?" Feng Bu'er invited.

Logically speaking, he should not be saying such things. Although these fellows have already been involved in many incidents involving Transcendental Power, they are, after all, Xiahui People, and not even native-born to Tana City.

But if the War Church can recruit them, why can't the Wealth Church?

In the current Tana City, there are already many things no longer under the control of the Golden Church.

With the intervention of the War Church and the Wisdom Church, those nobles have already accumulated a considerable amount of dissatisfaction with the Wealth Church.

After all, the currency of Tana City is controlled by the Wealth Church; these nobles have been looking forward for too long to taking those Tana away from the Wealth Church and regaining pricing power.

Every Magistrate has also, to a certain extent, instilled in those nobles how peaceful and harmonious things are under the jurisdiction of other churches.

The Wealth Church must recruit more talent.

Especially at a time when he himself might leave at any moment...

Hearing the invitation from the other party, Feng Buxi thought he had misheard.

He never expected that he could actually go from an outside informant to a formal member!

If he had known, he would have let Yunxiao come online too!

"I am willing, it is an honor!" Feng Buxi said, using simple words, his face full of smiles.

Watching Feng Bu'er discuss becoming a Gold Tie with this fellow who couldn't even speak clearly, Sarana was furious and said fiercely: "I will make you pay the price. You actually let a person like this become one of us, you..."

"You, a defector, what right do you have to talk about us?" Feng Bu'er glared back. "You had better go talk to the Archbishop properly about your situation."

Immediately, a player was about to become an Awakened. Chen Zhi shifted his perspective to Feng Buxi; he did not know what would happen after drinking the Magic Potion.

It was thanks to Feng Buxi that the Magic Potion Formula of the Golden Church was finally confirmed.

Without a doubt, that unlucky bar owner had bought the real formula, but that owner still lacked the courage to drink the Magic Potion and become a Fortune-teller.

As for what a Fortune-teller is, that was something Feng Buxi would have to experience for himself.

As the Magic Potion entered his mouth, Chen Zhi seemed to feel the physical changes just like Feng Buxi.

Chen Zhi could clearly perceive that his body had absorbed some Spiritual Substance.

This substance was minuscule, not as powerful as he had imagined, but he could feel that he had already absorbed the Magic Potion.

As expected of his own body; that is to say, Feng Buxi's body and his own body are connected. As long as the Magic Potion is consumed within the range he can control, then even if Feng Buxi dies, the energy of the Magic Potion will return to Chen Zhi.

Not bad. Now he doesn't have to worry about the problem of players dying after awakening, which would be an awakening in vain.

After all, as long as he can still mold another body, what is meant to be awakened will still be awakened.

Chen Zhi even pulled up a special file on his computer that belonged specifically to Feng Buxi...

So this is what awakening is.

After drinking the Magic Potion, Feng Buxi felt his ears were exceptionally sensitive, the muscles on his body became more prominent, and his whole person felt more energetic.

If asked exactly what was different, he couldn't quite say, but it was clear that he had undergone a very large change.

"Congratulations. How do you feel?" Feng Bu'er asked gently. "You should be able to feel that you seem to have a bit more luck on you."

Luck?

"Gambling?" Feng Buxi uttered this single word.

"You are right, but you won't win every time. In fact, if you rely on gambling, it just depends on how much luck you have, and then you bet all that luck at once."

"However, this is very likely to lead to you not being able to make a fortune for the next month. After all, the probability of a gambler winning is not high to begin with. I advise you to go directly into some small business; that way the effect will be better."

"Yes, even opening a shop would be much better than you going to gamble."

Several Gold Ties spoke one after another, explaining the matter of Qi Luck to Feng Buxi.

In general, it meant that one's luck regarding wealth would improve.

Feng Buxi smiled awkwardly, wondering if the wealth luck of a Believer of the Lord of Calamity would improve.

Could it be that being awakened is the same as not being awakened?

Not to mention that he had such confusion, even Chen Zhi himself had the same confusion.

Before Feng Buxi could go and test his luck, Chen Zhi heard movement outside. Soon, Susan came to report that Saina had come in from outside.

Perhaps she wanted to tell him about recent events. Chen Zhi nodded, and Saina then walked in from outside, bringing Evans with her.

This thief?

What is he here for? Does he have some urgent matter to report?

"Great Lord of Calamity, I have come to bring you the latest news from outside. At the same time, this friend of mine has some trouble and needs your help."

Help?

A thief like this needs my help?

Chen Zhi did not respond, but let Saina continue speaking.

Saina bit the bullet and said: "This friend of mine, ever since he was blessed by you last time, has been... has been very unlucky. I hope you can lift the blessing."

I blessed him?

Chen Zhi could not remember at all; he had almost forgotten that he had chatted with this thief for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhi reached out a hand and patted Evans.

"I withdraw my blessing from you," Chen Zhi said.

Evans felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body, and he bowed his head respectfully. "Thank you, great Lord of Calamity."

"One who didn't know would think you were my Believer. Alright, tell me what has been happening outside?" Chen Zhi replied coldly. They only look for him when there is something wrong; if there is nothing, it seems they wouldn't come over.

Has this Saina been living too smoothly lately, that she has forgotten whose Believer she is?

Sensing the Lord of Calamity's dissatisfaction, Saina hurriedly lowered her head and said: "Several nobles in Tana City plan to purchase a Harvester from the Royal Capital. In this way, the few larger Nongzhuang in the surrounding area will no longer need serfs."

"Oh? A Harvester?" They have these in this day and age?

But then again, cameras have already come out, so a Harvester, well, it's not impossible.

"Yes, it is a machine that can harvest automatically; it is said to have been spearheaded by the Wisdom Church," Saina said. "In this way, if your new Believers wish to become members of the Nongzhuang, then..."

"We do not need to become serfs; if we work hard, perhaps we can purchase a Nongzhuang," Chen Zhi said with some confidence.
