Chapter 23 Life in another world starts from scratch
call!
After a brief period of dizziness.
In front of my eyes was a patch of red, one after another, twisted and tiny worms, pupating and pupating back and forth.
He slowly raised his heavy eyelids and couldn't help but shed tears.
The strong sunshine in the afternoon came in tenaciously and fearlessly from the west-facing window, and was extremely dazzling, like two loud slaps on this bloodless handsome face.
"When you come back, why does it feel like it was about the same time as when you left?"
Cheng An rubbed his aching head and found that he was in a hotel room.
Looking at the clock on the wall, the time points to three o'clock in the afternoon.
This phenomenon, combined with the fact that the time node he returned to the world when he returned last time happened to be the same as the time he experienced there, Cheng An had some guesses in his mind.
"The passage of time in my other place and in this world are actually exactly the same. If I stay there for one day, one day will pass in this world.
"Although the time points on both sides are different now, it is like crossing different time zones in reality. You suddenly travel through space from noon in China to the sky above the Mediterranean Sea in one step, where it is night!
"When I was in the dream world, my real body stayed in the star gate. After returning, I would fall directly to the coordinate position;
"But what about the other way around? According to other people's dream travel notes in the past, after the walkers left, the timeline of the dream world progressed normally, and the host has been moving freely!
“But it’s different now, all hosts have been replaced by walking;
"This time I returned, two days have passed in the real world. If it is still the same as before, wouldn't it mean that two days have passed in the dream world?
"Did I just lie motionless on the bed for the past two days?"
"Go out and find someone to inquire about!"
Cheng An stood up and prepared to go out to ask.
As a result, his vision suddenly went dark, and his hands and feet became limp and unable to lift his strength.
Suddenly, the feeling of hunger filled my brain, my stomach felt uncomfortable and painful, my mouth was dry, not to mention my lips, even my tongue was dry and white-skinned.
Cheng An adjusted his breathing, and it took him a while to feel relieved. He felt the urge to pee and urinate again, and hurriedly walked to the bathroom to solve the physiological problem.
…
…
An hour later, Cheng An was sitting in a Chinese restaurant opposite the hotel, eating lunch. The table was piled with several plates of steamed buns and five large bowls of noodles.
Although there was a lot of food, he ate slowly and carefully restored the body that had been in a coma for two days and two nights.
Fortunately, my body is relatively strong, and my coma did not last long, so I recovered quickly.
Most of the pedestrians walking on the street outside are blond and blue-eyed, accounting for more than 50% of them; people with black hair and yellow skin are also very common, accounting for 30 to 40%, and their number is almost half as much as that of white people;
There are also some people with colorful hair and punk style.
The fewest among them are black people.
Cheng An has been here for so long and has only seen two black people passing by the door.
One was a homeless man begging, who was quickly chased away by the patrolling police; the other was a sturdy man helping a fat man carry his luggage. This man had an iron ring around his neck and his identity was unusual.
“In the Western Continent, black people are considered to be an ominous sign. They cannot obtain divine enlightenment and are an ‘abandoned race’.
"Although the Equality Act was promulgated when the Federation was officially established, and the slave trade was abolished, this phenomenon still cannot be completely eradicated. By the way, it is already the year 1334 of the Fifth Era, and the Federation was established exactly 334 years ago.
Already."
"Well, the steamed buns taste good and have the flavor of home. This is good news to me."
Cheng An was thinking while eating.
This time, the countdown to return to the dream world is three full days, which is much more time than the first time.
But for Cheng An, time is also very tight.
Currently he has two tentative plans.
The first point, and the most important point at the moment, is to find a way to ensure that your body does not starve to death during the few days of the 'return period'.
Cheng An's initial idea was to go directly to a hospital when he was about to return, pretend to be comatose first, and then become 'really' comatose, so that he could survive on a sling bottle. In this way, there wouldn't be a big problem.
This is the guarantee of the most basic survival requirements, and this must be considered in advance.
As for this second point, it is a developmental issue.
As Bai Yujing's escaping disciple, he contacted the Church of the God of Machinery, but no one in the church knew who he really was;
Although the Church of the Machine is looking for a way out, this cannot be done openly and openly, but is done in secret without any publicity to the outside world.
Therefore, unless Cheng An takes the initiative to identify himself, there is no risk of him being exposed in the short term.
However, if you want the other side to become an extraordinary person, you cannot avoid the route of the church.
In reality, Cheng An has become an extraordinary person in the magic medicine way, but his future is still unclear;
But he on the other side is now a genuine 'ordinary person'.
Not to mention that this world is extremely dangerous, and it is impossible for ordinary people to live a happy life. Even if he could, Cheng An would not let himself waste such an opportunity by doing nothing.
No matter what, he will reach transcendence again on the other side!
Because Daozi destroyed the power of the curse through unknown means, it is no longer possible for this body to practice the magic medicine path.
So the problem before us now is nothing more than which church to choose to join and how to make more money.
The path of divine blood is different from the path of magic medicine. In the path of magic medicine, you can rely on luck to achieve your success, but the path of divine blood is real and requires money.
A divine revelation requires 10,000 crystals.
One gold coin can only be exchanged for ten church-standard crystals. If converted into money, that would be ten million yuan.
He currently only has 110,000 in hand, which is far from enough!
"If I go to the Mechanicus Church and reveal my identity, I will most likely be able to gain free divine enlightenment, but I will not choose this path unless absolutely necessary."
"There are three major churches stationed here in the Chuitian Realm, namely the Mechanical Church, the Church of the God of War, and the Church of the God of Life.
"Ignore the Church of the Mechanic for the moment. The God of Life's belief is the Goddess of Life. This sounds like a nanny profession, so the only one I can choose is the Church of the God of War.
"Each church's priest team will have a nickname. The priests of the God of War Church are called [Jinggui]. Just hearing the name tells you that they are very murderous. As we all know, there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname."
"Just choose him first!
"I wonder if if I join the religion for the first time, I will get a free divine enlightenment?"
Cheng An analyzed some known information.
Afterwards, he paid for the meal, went to the hotel to refund the three-day accommodation fee, drove his truck, and walked out the door.
…
…
The Church of the God of War has dozens of churches in the Chuitian Realm, and there are three in total where the [Well Ghost] team is clearly stationed.
One of them, located next to the highest building in the center of the city, is the main church of the Heavenly Realm area of the Church of the God of War.
Cheng An learned this time that this building was not a skyscraper, but a tower called the Star Tower. There would be at least one church cathedral stationed within one kilometer of the Star Tower.
The other two are located at the east and west ends of the city.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng An arrived at the Church of the God of War located on Tasuoke Street in the western area of Chuitianjing City.
The church is twenty meters high, with an open ring on the top and a sculpture of a sword inside.
This is the emblem of the Church of the God of War.
The Sunday of the Ares Cult is Sunday, which is not the day today, so there are not many people at the church door.
You can see some parents with their children coming to pray at the door of the church. They have a pious attitude. After praying in front of the statue, there will be specialized clergy to enlighten and answer their questions.
Before leaving, many people stuffed some banknotes into the pure gold offering box, more or less, depending on the firmness of their beliefs.
Cheng An parked the car at an inconspicuous roadside far away, tidied himself up to look energetic and decent, and then walked towards the middle-aged man who was standing at the door with a kind smile on his face.
Year Fr.
"Hello, I'm from Kowloon. It's my first time to come to the church. I want to hear the glorious deeds of the God of War up close." Cheng An walked up, clasped the palms of his hands together, put his right index finger on his left thumb, and made a strange and awkward gesture.
gesture etiquette.
As he spoke, he put a 10 silver coin into the offering box next to the priest.
The priest smiled and said: "Hello, lost lamb, the God of War will guide you, come inside with me."
The priest's name was Luo Yinde. He took Cheng An and walked around several murals in the church to explain the doctrine.
These murals, without exception, all describe the story of the God of War performing miracles in a certain place on xx, month xx, xx, fighting against heaven and earth, slaying evil spirits, and opening up areas for human habitation.
There are a large number of murals, and it is said that each church carries different murals. The quantity and quality of the murals can directly reflect the influence of the church in the local area.
"Is this a battle diary? This is the most down-to-earth god I have ever heard of."
Cheng An looked pious on the surface, but in his heart he silently labeled the God of War as a 'slut'.
After walking around for more than half an hour, the priest told him about the miracles.
Seeing that he had no other expression, Cheng An became a little anxious and asked: "Father Luo Yinde, I want to get closer to the glory of the God of War!"
The smile on Father Luo Yinde's face became even stronger: "Do you want to be inspired by God, obtain God's gift, obtain her divine blood, and become a priest?"
"Yeah!"
"Haha, please come with me."
Luo Yinde turned around and led the way inside, saying as he walked: "We don't have many restrictions on believers who want to become priests, and we don't need to do any tests on your identity and origin, because God's eyes will be watching you, and God will
Help us make a judgment."
"Praise God!" Cheng An said from the bottom of his heart.
The next moment, Father Luo Yinde opened the door curtain, and there was a fountain-like building in the middle of the hall inside.
Its whole body is like a spout, suspended above the pool. Clean and clear water flows in from the front of the spout and flows out from the back, forming a cycle.
The top of the spout is pointed at a metal object that looks like a sword hilt.
The walls surrounding the pool are like small neon lights, inlaid with countless crystals.
“If you want to receive the divine revelation from the God of War, you must go through the petition pool and pray to her;
"Every time the petition pool is opened, it takes 9999 crystals to store the power of faith. This is a great power that can be slowly accumulated by countless believers praying day and night.
"Of course, if you don't bring enough crystals, you can also use the ones left by others in the petition pool,"
"You need to pay the cost of these 9999 crystals and dedicate an additional crystal as your gratitude to the great existence and stay here.
The priest finished these words very fluently. It was obvious that he had been here for a long time and had said the same words countless times to different people.
Obviously I want money, but to say it to you is so noble, and it’s absolutely incredible...
Cheng An showed an awkward smile and asked: "Father, after becoming a believer, don't you have the opportunity to enjoy a divine revelation for free?"
When he heard that there was no money, the smile on Father Luo Yinde's face disappeared, but his tone changed.
"What is free? God does not want your money. Money is not important to Him. What is important is your piety. Your heart is not sincere. It seems that God's grace has no chance with you."
With that said, he ignored Cheng An and turned around and walked towards the door.
I didn't even worry about whether the contents inside would be stolen.
Cheng An glanced at the petition pool with some sadness.
He didn't have any idea of stealing money.
This is a world where true gods truly exist and are controlled by extraordinary powers. To mess around in such a world is to seek death.
"Father! Father, wait."
"What's the matter, stranger?"
"I have other questions."
Cheng An ran over and greeted him with a smile: "It's like this. I don't understand God's teachings thoroughly enough. Don't be angry. In addition to paying money to be responsible for the 9999 crystals of believers, there are other ways to show it."
Pious?”
"have."
Father Luo Yinde stretched out his hand and pointed to a building not far across the way, "You can go to the prayer hall, where some particularly devout believers release their wishes. There will be some that God has no time to deal with.
Trivial matters, if you can help God share trivial matters, you can naturally get corresponding crystal rewards;
"In addition, God's servants also need the help of believers. Priests will occasionally explore some unknown places. When they need help, they will also issue tasks in the prayer hall to assist those who complete them. The corresponding priests will pay you crystals as your
A reward for God.”
Um...you just want to offer a reward. Why is such a noble wish...
It seems that other churches must have the same thing...
Cheng An said his thanks seriously without changing his expression: "I understand, thank you!"
Then, he took out another ten silver coins to donate, completed the 'believer registration' here, and received a religious emblem certified by the Church of the God of War.
It is made of sterling silver, palm-sized, and the open ring part is just enough for hanging.
"You will definitely be an excellent believer in the God of War! May God's glory shine on you!"
The priest's attitude became amiable again.
"As you wish."
Suddenly, Father Luo Yinde's expression became solemn and he said: "As a believer, you need to keep in mind the teachings of our Ares Church. My child, keep it in mind!"
"Yes, please say it." Cheng An listened attentively.
The priest took a deep breath, then looked ferocious, shouting almost filial piety: "Not my kind! Their hearts must be different!"
"?"
Cheng An was stunned.
The Church of God of War also has such a doctrine, but no one has ever mentioned it on the forum before.
Although the voice was loud, people around him seemed to have become accustomed to it, and no one even took a second look.
Later, Cheng An bid farewell to Luo Yinde and came to the prayer hall where there was no obvious sect.
Just as he thought, people were coming and going here. In the center was a very long bar, with more than a dozen clergymen responsible for reception, settlement and other tasks.
Along the walls, there are display racks, and the "reward orders", or wish lists, that specify the task requirements are hung clearly on them.
Cheng An had the illusion that he had come to a different world to become an adventurer and entered the Adventurer's Guild.
Approach the nearest display case and scan the task above.
"To clean up the rat-man cave in the northern suburbs, we need a follower to assist, who will be responsible for dissecting the corpse and collecting the rat-man brains and pubic bones;
