275 The Goddess is also a Woman
Although Shirley is a divine creature, it is still a bit reluctant to be a divine thought container for the goddess to appear in the world. (.
. )
Until half an hour later, Shirley was still weak. This was not because Shirley deliberately wanted to lie in Beta's arms for more time, but because she was really correct and had no strength to move around. Beta's system interface also prompted that Shirley was extremely tired and needed time to rest.
Beta left the slum with Shirley in her arms, which was a very gentle princess hug. Shirley fell asleep halfway through and slept very sweetly.
Although Wojin did not descend on God, her divine thought projection also caused a lot of noise. Of course, it was incomparable to the last time the God of Shadows, but it still caused a great shock in Tonggu City. Those who had weak faith were all in the streets, or at home praying for God's punishment not to descend, and some praying for their sins.
When Beta returned to the hotel with Shirley in her arms, she also saw several of her students kneeling in the corridor of the hotel with a pious look on their faces and praying.
Unlike other panic-like believers of the strange gods, several of his students were full of fanaticism and excitement. They were all believers of Wojin, so they could naturally feel the aura of their own goddess. Although they did not understand why the aura of the goddess appeared in Tonggu City, this did not prevent them from guessing and imagination.
They believed that the most reliable reason was that the goddess knew that they were going to build a temple here, so she deliberately showed her power to encourage her.
For certain things, everyone will give themselves an answer. After several students got this answer, they were ecstatic. While praying, they promised the goddess that they would definitely build the temple to a grand and grand manner.
Beta did not correct the misunderstandings of these students. It was a good thing that he had motivation and enthusiasm.
He put Shirley on the bed, and the sleeping girl looked extremely gentle and beautiful, completely different from the usual "funny" aura. As he looked, he couldn't help but wonder, if Goddess Wojin fell asleep, would it be the same?
But soon, he denied his idea, because in legend, the gods never need to rest.
Beta ate some food and then fell asleep. The next morning, his door was suddenly gently pushed open. Beta, who had always been very alert, immediately sat up and found that the person who pushed the door was Shirley with a thief-looking face.
She saw Beta woke up and said disappointedly: "Tsk, I wake up so early, I want to wake you up."
"Call me up?" Beta sat up, yawned, and asked curiously, "What are you going to call?"
"For example, good morning bite?" Shirley looked serious and decent.
But Beta's face twitched: "Who taught you these strange things?"
"Of course it's a goddess." Shirley said without hesitation: "I am the life created by the goddess. All the knowledge in my head is given to me by her. This is naturally the goddess's teaching."
Beta felt that her three views were refreshed again. Although goddesses are also women, they are also gods after all. In most people's concepts, female gods are very serious people. Although they are knowledgeable, they should not know such dirty knowledge, but Shirley's words are indeed irrefutable.
Shirley looks exactly the same as Wokin.
Hearing this, Beta couldn't help but feel the situation of Wokin biting him for good morning. His expression suddenly became very strange.
Shirley was on the side, looking at Beta's appearance, and immediately smiled and said, "It seems that the master is a little moved. Do you want me to have a good morning bite? Of course, it's OK if you want to get into the scabbard. I can give everything for you at any time."
Looking at Shirley who became a little "funny" again, Beta sighed a long sigh, and then he was in a state of mind and emotion. He ignored Shirley and went straight out, ordered breakfast, and prepared to share the food with the students.
Shirley chased after her. She wanted to hold Beta's arm and stick it to him, but unfortunately Beta didn't give her a chance.
After breakfast, Beta took Shirley and the students to the slum.
It is natural for the students to be in a slum environment. After all, they looked like this more than a year ago, so they naturally would not feel too uncomfortable. But they looked at all this and felt a little emotional in their hearts. They knew very well that if it weren't for the teacher, they would still be no different from the children in these slums.
By the time they arrived at the center, Zorro was already waiting there. Next to him, there were a large circle of poor children watching.
They all have pale faces and thin skin, and some even have abscesses on their heads.
Living in such a harsh artificial environment, most children are either full of roundworms or various dermatitis. Of course, this has a lot to do with their low immunity because they are not able to eat enough.
When Zorro saw Beta, he immediately came forward: "Your Excellency, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Sorry." Beta said embarrassedly: "I have been waiting for a long time. I brought some students here and I will hand over the construction of the temple to them."
Zorro's eyes swept through several students at Beta. With his eyes, he could naturally see that these children were poor in the past, but now they are obviously much more energetic, but the "earthy smell" on their bodies has not yet completely faded.
At this time, he still didn't dare to look at Shirley: "Then what can I help?"
"I can see that you have great prestige in the slums." Beta said to him: "Can you help me gather people in the slums?"
Zorro was a little worried: "What are your plans? This is the last place they can settle in. If possible, I hope you don't drive them away."
"Don't worry, they are all potential believers to me."
Hearing this, Zorro finally felt much more at ease. He asked a little boy to go to a nearby tree and shaking the bronze bell there.
Nearly ten minutes after the sound of Dangdang Dangdang, a large group of people were surrounded by them... In terms of number, there should be about two thousand. But Beta knew very well that there were definitely more than these people in the slums in the North District, and this should be the reason why only one or two people came to each household.
"Your Excellency Beta, as long as you tell these people, I think everyone in the entire slum should know."
After Zoro finished speaking, he took the first two steps first. He shouted at the poor people in front of him: "The one beside me is Lord Beta, and this one is Ms. Shirley. They are all great nobles. I know you don't want to come here, but I can tell you now that you have to listen if you don't listen, otherwise you will be against me Zoro."
The originally noisy voice immediately became quiet after Zorro's roar.
Beta took this opportunity to sweep the crowd around and said gently: "My name is Beta, I plan to build a temple here."
After a brief silence, the poor started to talk, with sadness on their faces. Although they had no knowledge, they also knew that the temple had always been built in the rich area. If the nobles planned to build the temple here, would it mean that they would drive them away? Could this be the reason for this convening?
Pessimism began to spread among the crowd.
Beta continued: "I know what you are worried about, and I promise you here first that the temple is only established here and will not let you leave your homeland. We have no intention of occupying any friend's private land and property."
The discussion gradually became weaker, and more than two thousand people looked at Beta, waiting for him to continue talking.
"But we can't build a temple just by just a few of us. And the road traffic here is poor, so I need workers, a large number of workers." Beta shouted: "I want to build all the roads here into stone paths first, and also build sewers here. Both of these are big projects, so I have to recruit workers and be paid."
A few seconds later, a loud noise broke out in the crowd, and they shouted desperately: "Come on me, call me, sir, I am very strong!"
"Sir, as long as I eat enough, I am willing to do any work."
These poor people became more and more excited as they shouted, and the group of people at the forefront had even planned to rush to Beta's side.
Shirley walked out from behind Beta, gently stroked her fingers, and a transparent golden light wall blocked the excited poor.
Seeing such magical effects, all the poor were startled, and then they immediately retreated honestly and became quiet again, but their expressions were still very excited, and they looked at Beta's eyes full of hope.
"There are many people in the slums, and I can't everyone recruits workers." Beta glanced at everyone and said, "Every family has a high-age man, only one, no more. If you come to work for me, each person will give me five copper coins every day, and no food. If you want, let your family gather here in the afternoon. In addition, if there are really no men in the family, women and children who can do light work are fine. I have a job for them, but they can only get three copper coins a day."
Hearing this, the poor burst into a trembling cry. In Tonggu City, a copper coin can buy two kilograms of rough surface, and five copper coin is ten kilograms of noodles. Although it doesn’t seem to be a lot on the surface, for these poor people who can’t eat almost every day, it is the food for the whole family for several days.
Cook the rough noodles with some wild vegetables together, and a pot of batter soup that can make people eat delicious and full.
Even if you have three copper coins, you can buy six kilograms of noodles. It is also a life-saving ration for families who lack men.
"Okay, now you can explain." Beta said: "After the sun is west in the afternoon, come here to repay me. I will arrange a job for you."
The poor people dispersed all of a sudden, and they had to hurry back and tell their families about the good news.
Shirley was a little puzzled by the side: "Master, their physical condition is not very good. If they were asked to be workers, our progress would be very slow."
"It doesn't matter. It's slower, but it will be easier for them to receive the teachings of our temple in the future."
But Shirley asked again: "Why don't you give them money directly? Wouldn't that be more convenient?"
"On the contrary, people's minds are complicated." Beta smiled and said, "If we give them money, our missionary actions will only become more difficult in the future. Money is not omnipotent." (To be continued.)
