121 Chapter 121, snatching faith
“Delicious!”At this moment, Yuan, who was dozing off on Meng Jingtian’s shoulder with his eyes narrowed, seemed to have suddenly woken up. His two small claws were tightly wrapped around his neck.
Seeing Meng Jingtian turning his head to look at him, Yuan pointed one of his claws at the mayor’s house and kept shouting, “Delicious! Delicious!”
“At the Mayor’s Place?”Meng Jingtian’s eyes lit up. Since he had already promised Yuan, it was naturally better to find something delicious as soon as possible.
However, this was a game. Even if he was a god, he couldn’t just snatch things from npcs!
Then he wasn’t a god, but a bandit.
“Alright, I got it! You better stay here obediently!”Meng Jingtian removed Yuan’s small claw that was still hugging his neck and patted its head.
At this moment, with the arrogant shouts of the players behind him, the players surrounding the mayor in front also dispersed.
Seeing Meng Jingtian, the old mayor, Wang Dazhu, was shocked. He was no longer as calm as before in front of the players. He quickly walked over.
He carefully looked at Meng Jingtian and asked, “Lord God has descended into this town. May I know what kind of Oracle you have?”
“Old mayor, you don’t have to be so polite. I’m here to accept a mission. I heard that bandits like you are running rampant? I... was entrusted by the god of the Earth, Zeng Shenyu, to help you solve the problem.”Meng Jingtian coughed dryly, then, he took out the statue of the god of the earth from his backpack and showed it to the old mayor.
“The god of the Earth, Zeng Shenyu? We have never worshipped this god! The local god of the earth is not called Zeng Shenyu.”Wang Dazhu looked at the statue in Meng Jingtian’s hand and said.
“Ahem, in short, it was this earth god Zeng Shenyu who saw that you were suffering and entrusted this god to save you from your predicament!”Meng Jingtian insisted on explaining when he heard that.
There were already other earth gods in Guichen Town? So what? Snatch It!
If it was one of the other 365 true gods, Meng Jingtian might have given him face because of his own level and strength and did not go too far.
However, this Earth God was just a hair god and wasn’t even ranked in the Heavenly Dao College.
So what if his level and strength were higher than mine? I Am Hongjun’s disciple!
So what if I steal your believers? I don’t believe that this guy still dares to have any objections!
After explaining, Meng Jingtian didn’t forget to add insult to injury. “Right, since you have your own Earth God, why doesn’t your Earth God help you out of your predicament?”
“This...”Wang Dazhu hesitated for a moment and said, “Lord God, he... He probably didn’t hear our prayers, right?”
“Is that so? Compared to an Earth God who was supposed to protect you, but didn’t protect you, he clearly has no responsibility, but he entrusted me to help you. Isn’t he more worthy of Faith?”Meng Jingtian smiled, he continued.
Wang Dazhu looked at Meng Jingtian in a daze. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything.
One could imagine how his heart was churning right now.
That’s right! Why did the Earth God, who was supposed to protect them while enjoying the incense they worshipped, not show any signs of miracles when the townspeople were in danger?
On the contrary, this unknown Earth God couldn’t stand it anymore and entrusted another god to save them?
Was their devout faith the right thing to do? Was It Worth It?
Seeing Wang Dazhu’s expression, Meng Jingtian knew that he had most likely persuaded him. At this moment, he couldn’t take it any further and quit while he was ahead.
Changing the topic, he said, “Mayor, please give me a mission! I will definitely help you eliminate all the bandits in the vicinity!”
After all, it was just words. At the root of the matter, they still had to solve the problem of the bandits for Guichen Town. Only then would it be possible for the citizens of Guichen town to truly change their beliefs and allow Meng Jingtian to complete the mission.
“Lord God!”Wang Dazhu heard Meng Jingtian’s domineering and confident words and was so moved that his eyes were full of tears as he looked at Meng Jingtian.
“But... but the town is poor. There’s nothing to repay the Lord God with.”Then, Wang Dazhu said with some embarrassment.
“Am I, Meng Jingtian, the kind of God who extorts favors in return?”When he heard Wang Dazhu’s words, Meng Jingtian glared at him and said angrily.
But then, his eyes rolled, he put his arm around Wang Dazhu’s shoulder and asked, “Old Wang, do you have anything good to eat here? It makes my little pet so hungry! Why Don’t you use this thing as a mission reward?”
Wang Dazhu was speechless. Why was God so Shameless? Didn’t he just say that he wasn’t a god who wanted to repay a debt of gratitude?
He thought that Meng Jingtian would say that he didn’t want anything in return.
“Good food? This old man doesn’t have any at home. I only have a few miscellaneous food cakes that the old woman made this afternoon. If you want them, Lord God, I’ll go and get them for you!”
Although he was speechless, he still couldn’t offend God. Wang Dazhu immediately replied and was about to go into the house to get them.
“Miscellaneous food cakes?”The corner of Meng Jingtian’s mouth twitched. He glanced at Yuan. This guy said that they were good food, so they definitely weren’t miscellaneous food cakes, right?
They definitely weren’t!
Otherwise, where would he put his face? He could clearly buy things on the street, but he had specially asked Wang Dazhu for them.
Moreover, he didn’t care about his face at all!
Yuan didn’t respond to him. He just motioned for him to follow Wang Dazhu in.
Meng Jingtian was helpless. He could only follow Wang Dazhu into his room.
Wang Dazhu went to the kitchen to get some miscellaneous grain cakes. Yuan pointed to another room and urged Meng Jingtian to go over.
Meng Jingtian hesitated. It wasn’t good to just wander around in someone else’s room, right?
Even though this person was just an NPC.
However, he couldn’t dissuade Yuan at this moment. He could only follow Yuan’s directions and push open a door. He saw Wang Dazhu’s bedroom.
As soon as he opened the door, Yuan flew down from his shoulder and coiled himself around a wooden box, unwilling to leave.
“Here?”Meng Jingtian looked at Yuan and walked over to the box.
“Delicious!”Yuan cheered and nodded.
At this moment, Wang Dazhu also came over with the miscellaneous grain cake.
Meng Jingtian saw his surprised gaze and looked a little embarrassed. He glared at Yuan and looked at Wang Dazhu, “Look, my little pet said that it’s delicious. I’m afraid it’s here.”
“But this is just a box for my clothes?”Wang Dazhu was a little puzzled.
Then, he cursed in a low voice, “Could it be that the little madman hid some food here again?”
...
“Lord God, please move aside. Let me take a look!”As he said that, Wang Dazhu put down the coarse grain cake in his hand and walked over. He took out a key from the cabinet at the side and opened the iron lock on the box.
When the box was opened, Meng Jingtian glanced at it. It was indeed just some coarse cloth clothes, which made him even more embarrassed, he couldn’t help but whisper to yuan, “What the hell are you talking about? Or are you mistaken? It’s not here at all?”
