Chapter 255: Chapter 171: Ceremony of Dedication in the New World_2
The official had no choice but to release a statement, one aspect to explain to the onlookers, the other was to show the hidden New World.
Returning home, his spiritual strength had recovered to 2/3.
Lin Xun opened the author assistant, ready to write words, until his spiritual strength fully recovered at night to play the game online...Wait, it should be called diligent cultivation.
[You have a ’Lower Seat Certificate of Disciple’s Sanctuary’ which is sending a summons...]
[Please teleport to the ’Disciple’s Sanctuary’ within one hour!]
Familiar in-game texts suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Lin Xun had no choice but to get online through his phone.
"Sometimes it is inevitable for me to stop updating, my loyal readers in the comment section, please don’t scold me..."
Book of Salvation, commence!
[You are now in the Doomsday Chapter]
[Chapter 82740874]
[A common Wandering Soul wakes up in a transplant clinic...]
Lin Xun used the teleportation feature of Rest Page, directly reaching the ’Disciple’s Sanctuary’.
He traveled straight to a familiar meeting hall inside the castle.
[You have arrived at the 13th conference hall, stepping in...]
[There is a figure in a black robe standing behind the presiding desk...]
[Amos: You did a great job, the Wencheng armed groups were leveled by you.]
[Blood King: It is all thanks to the defensive tool that the elder granted me that I managed to return safely.]
Lin Xun was blatantly lying with his eyes open, that Epic+ Level ’High-Energy Particle Shield Device’ was still lying in his inventory.
[Amos: I will keep my promise about the Wencheng proxy, but there is no need for you to rush for now.]
[Amos: Although you were a part of Taros and you have been in the organization for some time, for Disciple’s Sanctuary, you are still a newcomer.]
[Amos: You haven’t experienced the ’Ceremony of Dedication’ within the Disciple’s Sanctuary, have you?]
Lin Xun’s brows furrowed.
About the ’Ceremony of Dedication’, Li Xingyue had already revealed some information about it.
The organization of the New World can function normally, mostly due to the ’Ceremony of Dedication’.
The Apostles in the organization, in the ’Ceremony of Dedication’, unselfishly donate their spirituality and equipment.
This ’Ceremony of Dedication’ is not an anonymous donation but a publicly named one, it is of course not recorded with the soul imprint but with codenames in the New World.
Often, the Apostle who is yearning to enter the real ’New World’ on the ’Ceremony of Dedication’, to demonstrate their piety, donate most of their spirituality, and some even donate until they have nothing left.
The Apostles who enters the ’Disciple’s Sanctuary’, are considered middle-class figures in the New World organization.
They took donations from the people under them in real life, added to their own game profits, and donate them together in the ’Ceremony of Dedication’.
Lin Xun was shocked when he saw this information.
Just as normal people can’t understand why people who are deceived into secret cults can change from beings with a conscience to the beasts who drag their friends and families with them, he could not understand.
"That’s the power of brainwashing..."
[Blood King: Elder, my subordinate has not yet participated in the ’Ceremony of Dedication’ at the Disciple’s Sanctuary.]
[Amos: In a few days, it will be this quarter’s ’Ceremony of Dedication’, you need to show your piety then, and become the most devout Apostle under my command.]
[Amos: This way, appointing you as the Wencheng proxy will seem justified, and no one will object.]
"Damn!"
Lin Xun gnashed his teeth, he was used to ripping others off, yet finally, it was his turn to be ripped off.
He was just an undercover man, having no people under him, hence no way to collect donations from others.
Is he supposed to donate his own game profits?
"The Apostles Council should reimburse me, right?" he is so thought.
The sudden ’Ceremony of Dedication’ dampened his excitement about becoming the Wencheng proxy.
[Amos: Once you become the Wencheng proxy, you will preside over the ’Ceremony of Dedication’ in the Wencheng area from then on.]
Lin Xun’s body shook, then he became elated.
The words ’Reaping benefits’ flashed through his mind.
The operating mode of the New World involves higher levels collecting donations from the lower rank, and handing it up to the even higher rank.
The devout middle-tier members, upon receiving donations from lower ranks, would not only give every penny to their superiors but would also contribute more themselves, which can be called the great harmony of life.
But what kind of person is Lin Xun? Joking aside, as the ’Buy Nothing Day’ advocate, the ambassador of freebies, and the human incarnation of a never-out-only-in mythical beast, would he let the brainwashing organization swindle him?
"Being a proxy has such benefits, the income of an Apostle from a city, one-tenth of it I am holding back is a significant figure."
"There is no way that I will donate, pulling a fast one is more my style..."
Lin Xun started to plot...
[Blood King: Thanks for your guidance!]
[Amos: Good. Collect more donations from your subordinates during this period to prevent any surprises at the ’Ceremony of Dedication.’]
[Blood King: My lord... unless something unexpected happens, there might be a slight mishap...]
[Amos: ???]
[Blood King: In order to perfectly execute your plan of attacking the Wencheng armed group, I was worried that my strength was too weak and might hinder your far-reaching plan.]
[Blood King: Just before the mission, I slightly increased my strength at the library, which resulted in... now I honestly have nothing significant to donate.]
[Amos: ...]
[Blood King: Um, my lord, could you perhaps lend me some now, once I make more progress in the game, I will undoubtedly return the exact amount to you!]
The essence donated at the ’Ceremony of Dedication’ is all given to Amos, which is essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul. Considering this, Amos would surely not refuse.
As to returning the money... why should money borrowed based on strength be returned?
Lin Xun would not just refrain from returning the money, but also, after becoming the proxy of Wencheng, he planned to make a big fortune.
As for dealing with the villainous group in this way, it amounted to punishing the wicked and promoting the good, so he felt no guilt or burden whatsoever.
Amos was silent for a long time before eventually replying.
[Amos: Wait till the day of the ’Ceremony of Dedication’, I’ll transfer it then.]
Why not give it now? Lin wondered in silence. Could it be that Amos was worried he couldn’t help but strengthen himself again?
[Blood King: Thank you, my lord! I’ll certainly be the most devout person at the ’Ceremony of Dedication’]!
[Amos: You may leave now.]
[Blood King: Yes, my lord!]>
With a face full of smiles, Lin Xun quickly left the Disciple’s Sanctuary.
...
In a hidden mountain inn.
The warrior respectfully stood beside the man in the black robe.
The black-robed man was holding a mobile phone, and the screen was all black.
"Warrior, what’s your opinion?"
The warrior sneak a peek at the mobile phone screen.
The black-robed man waved his hand, and a text appeared on the mobile phone screen.
The warrior’s heart fluttered. The Book of Salvation was a fascinating game that bound souls together, and no one but the owner could observe them.
Even when an Apostle was playing the game, others could only see a pitch-black screen on their mobile phones.
Only some Apostles with special talents could see the game text of other Apostles.
It was said that among the group and the Apostle Council’s Supervision Group in the organization, there were such talented Apostles.
The warrior carefully read the text on the phone screen.
After a long time, he cautiously said: "Sir, you really have a keen eye. The Blood King is not only ruthless and cunning, but also audacious, he is a rare talent."
Laughter sounded from under the hood of the black robe.
"Blood King is a double-edged sword, well wielded, it can help me establish and expand territories, if not well wielded, I’m afraid it might hurt my own hand."
The warrior bowed even more respectfully: "If it were any other disciple candidate, they surely wouldn’t be able to handle him. Only you, sir, could make him submit completely."
"Alright, stop flattering me. You may leave now."
After the warrior was dismissed, only Amos remained in the guest room.
Amos’s voice came from under the black hood: "It’s a pity, Blood King’s strength is still too weak. Otherwise, after I became the eleventh disciple, I could have let him participate in the competition for the twelfth disciple."
"Maybe he could help me secure another seat..."
