Chapter 152: Chapter 152 – How Envious, How Amazing
[A total of 3130 Micro-beliefs were obtained, and 2 true believers were developed.]
Ren Suo took off his headset as he looked at the mission score on the screen. He did not expect that he managed to complete the mission.
When he saw Ning Hai’s degree of belief turn into an intense yellow color, Ren Suo thought that he was bound to fail the mission and did not expect to double or even triple the goal set by the mission objective.
However, when he thought through it more carefully, he realized that although Baiyun City was only a second or third-tier city, the population size of the Longkou District was the largest. In addition, Zhao Zili was in action during the peak period in the evening, so there were naturally huge crowds of people on the street and plenty of people were healed by Zhao Zili with a sweep of the Holy Recovery Gatling Gun.
It was unlikely that Ning Hai became a true believer. However, among the thousands of people who were healed, there would likely be people who were suffering from serious illnesses, chronic diseases, geriatric diseases, or other major injuries which greatly impacted the quality of life. When they were healed by Zhao Zili and quickly regained their health, it was natural for them to become a true believer of the three deities.
Ren Suo himself went through a similar experience after his mother went to Liurong Temple to pray to the Buddha for good results in his college entrance examination. When Ren Suo attained stellar results in the examination and successfully enrolled in a first-tier university, his mother decided to abstain from meat for a month in return for her prayer coming true—Ren Suo could never forget the bland taste that lingered even in his saliva during that summer break.
It was highly likely that his mother would utilize the same “tactic” that year. Ren Suo would only be able to transfer some money to his sister through Alipay and she would have to think of ways to survive the month without meat on her own…
As such, the degree of belief of Ren Suo’s mother was blue, which was that of the majority of the population. When those people received some benefit, they would repay it in hopes for more, so as long as the degree of healing they received was sufficient for them to cry in gratitude, they would more easily become a true believer.
Nonetheless, the task actually turned out to be so simple…
Ren Suo thought for a moment and felt that his choice to land in a densely populated urban area was the crucial factor allowing him to complete the mission successfully. If the population density was slightly more sparse, like that of towns in Europe and villages in the Americas, he could not be certain that a thousand people would be healed in half an hour.
The more people there were, the more people would be healed.
[Zhao Zili’s actions were admired by the three gods and he earned 30,000 accumulated points.]
[Zhao Zili has been promoted from Unranked Priest to Priest.]
[The contents in the Treasures of the Holy Light has been updated.]
[The mini-mission task details have been updated.]
It turned out that the mini-mission in “Holy Priest: Survival Battle” could continue to be played. Ren Suo clicked into the mini-mission and discovered that if Zhao Zili wanted to descend to the mortal world again, he would have to gather 5 true believers within 30 minutes and acquire 3000 Beliefs. In addition, he could only carry out the mission 15 days later.
The difficulty of the task suddenly increased several folds. If Ren Suo’s guess was right, the difficulty of the mini-mission would continue to rise upon completing it for the second time.
What was the meaning of that? A “boiling frog” experiment?
But Ren Suo quickly found out why the task became increasingly challenging—
[Priest: One who can independently conduct large-scale ceremonies. Those with this title possess the Talents of “Sacred Persuasion” and “Sacred Views”.]
‘Sacred Persuasion’ would greatly enhance the impact of Zhao Zili’s words, making his words of indoctrination more easily acceptable to believers. He would even be able to implant Beliefs in people through hints and signals.
‘Sacred Views’ was equivalent to an enhanced, all-in-one ability of Zhao Zili’s four prerequisite abilities. People who came close to Zhao Zili would feel feelings of sacredness, warmth, calmness and the like.
Simply put, Zhao Zili, who was now a full-fledged Priest, was extremely warm-hearted. Anyone near to him would feel a sense of peace and warmth as if he was a walking air conditioner even able to console people through words—although, unfortunately, he was a fat person.
Zhao Zili could not become handsome even if he wanted to after he became a full-fledged Priest. The three deities set a rule that Priests must not become handsome, and as delegates of the deities, they had to possess some degree of imperfectness.
So what exactly did the three deities encounter previously that they even had to demand the appearance of Priests to be slightly more ugly? Did a handsome lad establish a faith that overpowered theirs?
On another note, in the Treasures of the Holy Light, stronger and more powerful recovery Equipment and Talents were available.
At present, the most powerful tool with the largest healing range was the newly available [Unlimited Bazooka]. Its healing effect was such that it could pass through walls and explode after being concentrated in a spherical ball of energy. There was also [Robe of 108 Feathers], a Priest robe which released 108 recovery feathers per minute that would automatically track down living souls. Its healing efficiency was virtually unimaginable.
Among the Talents, there were also other more practical ones that did not only enhanced recovery effects, such as [Mind Reader] (allows the user to know what the target is thinking without communicating), [Wings of Protection] (equips the user with the Wings of the Holy Light and allows the user to fly), [Concealment of the Wind, Rain, Snow] (allows the user to be completely invisible and concealed in natural environments).
Upon seeing those Talents, Ren Suo’s expression was: “Amazing, absolutely amazing.jpg”.
If only he could redeem those Talents in real life… But after all, those were Talents and were only able to be equipped by Zhao Zili.
Ren Suo would have longed to acquire the masterful abilities like Mind Reader and Concealment, but that would have to wait until he became a fat guy.
“Through the days and nights, as I tear the heavens apart, glorious light will shine and cleanse even the specks of dust on earth~”
Ren Suo’s mobile phone rang. He looked at the display to see who the caller was and picked up the call, then replied “mmm” a few times.
It was a phone call from his sister, who was very excited to tell Ren Suo what the family had just encountered.
In summary, a middle-aged couple became younger and fitter, while their young daughter became more beautiful, her 200-degree myopic eyesight cured, the excess fats from eating ice cream vanished, and the ulcers in the mouth from eating barbeque the day before healed…
“But unfortunately, Brother, you were not here, or your rhinitis could have been cured,” Ren Suo’s sister said.
“Don’t worry, my rhinitis was already cured a long time ago,” Ren Suo replied.
After the call ended, Ren Suo was relieved.
As he expected, such missions which were completed directly without uploading any mission score proceeded in real-time, synchronously. When Ren Suo controlled Zhao Zili in the game to travel through Longkou District in Baiyun City, a fat individual in a white robe shooting a Gatling gun was also doing so in reality.
There could have been network delays due to latency, but it was essentially synchronized in real-time throughout the entire journey.
In other words, the game “Passing Hats” would have already taken place somewhere Ren Suo was not aware of.
When Ren Suo searched the web on his mobile phone, information about Zhao Zili was already being circulated everywhere—on Weibo, in his group chat rooms, and news headlines were also in a hurry to release a report on “The Holy Priest from Survival Battle Appears in Baiyun City to Treat All Beings”.
Unlike in “Holy Priest: Survival Battle” where a million people were selected from all around the world, it would not have been conspicuous even if the three gods had treated 990,000 people and scattered them all over the world.
However, Zhao Zili had appeared in Baiyun City and treated thousands of people in the presence of the public, under the watchful eyes of surveillance cameras. It was solid evidence that Zhao Zili truly appeared and the nation also seemed to have no intention of censoring related reports. After a month, the name “Holy Priest: Survival Battle” was allowed to take over the internet once again.
Some news sources even broadcasted live interviews with people who were healed. When those people showed the photo on their identification cards and compared it to their present self, a barrage of bullet comments appeared, full of envy and hate.
An old man in a wheelchair with white hair now had black hair and stood up to take two steps;
A 1.8-meter-tall fat man turned into a fit, handsome guy who looks like he had been playing basketball for more than ten years;
A girl who had a face full of acne, two irregular rows of teeth and wore thick glasses now revealed a wide and beautiful smile to the camera.
[Why do I not have such an opportunity!]
[Oh lord, why was I not in Baiyun City!]
[So what if I was in Baiyun City? I rushed over the moment I heard the news, but the subway was so full of people, and the priest was gone by the time I arrived, gahhhh!]
[Didn’t he say he was treating only one person? Why was the entire street healed?]
[The priest is obviously biased, he definitely looks like a citizen of Xuan Nation, so he must have visited the streets when he had time to spare after curing his target.]
[When will you come to visit our city!]
[How envious, how amazing.jpg]
