Chapter 19 Knowledge points, reward mechanism
Pet was helpless about what happened to Reina's family.
In the end, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Green Harbor. Goblins are naturally greedy and fickle, especially the guy called Cunning Shadow Stonecrush that the Stonemason Brotherhood met, who is the most shameless broker among the goblins.
Goblin brokers often have their own channels to help connect the client and the client, and make money on both sides, collecting commissions and taking commissions.
When they take the work of the brokers, they will definitely try every means to deduct and reduce it, or they will delay it as much as possible, and find all kinds of excuses to delay time. Isn't owing money one of the most common qualities of goblins.
What's more troublesome is that brokers often have no fixed place to live, and they move from place to place after they get the money. After getting the money, they will probably charter a goblin airship that is available the nearest time and go to another place on the Prentis continent for vacation and to avoid being visited by creditors.
Cunning Shadow Stonecrush is the best among the shameless goblin brokers, because he did something even more shameless:
He did not hide from the limelight, but asked Dursley to be his thug, intending to "openly" refuse to pay this large sum of money.
The key to solving the troubles of Rena's family naturally fell on Dursley and his Bloodfang Gang.
If the Bloodfang Gang is not solved, there is no way to ask Cunning Shadow for money.
The Bloodfang Gang is not as vulnerable as the gangsters defeated by Pete. They have their own territory and support several professionals. Whether in terms of military strength or financial resources, they are not comparable to the Brotherhood of Stonemasons.
If you want to face the Bloodfang Gang head-on, Pete alone is definitely not enough.
The powerful group 3rd-level spells such as [Hada's Hunger] can pose a life threat to the professionals of the Bloodfang Gang. But the problem is that such spells are okay for destroying monsters such as evil god believers, but they are forbidden to be used against normal intelligent races in Green Port.
If it is really used against the Bloodfang Gang, there is a high probability that someone will die.
That will not only lead to an endless war with the Bloodfang Gang, but also be wanted by Green Harbor.
Pete came to Green Harbor to get a certificate as a 3rd-level wizard. He only has a living expense of more than 1 gold coin a month. He is not here to risk his life with others!
Pete: Although I sympathize, I don’t want to intervene. It’s not worth it for me.
Norman: No, you want to!
…
Norman has been using [Eye of God] to observe synchronously through Pete’s perspective. When he learned about Reina’s experience, he immediately realized that his chance to preach and gain new believers had come.
What is the most lacking of Reina and her father’s Brotherhood of Stonemasons now?
Strength!
They will be helpless by Dursley’s harassment, isn’t it because ordinary people have no means of resistance in front of professionals?
The way to break the deadlock is also very simple.
As long as there are enough professionals on the Brotherhood of Stonemasons side, the threat of the Bloodfang Gang can be solved naturally!
Norman said he is very familiar with this!
In order to motivate Pete to spread the "God of Knowledge" to Lena, while the two were drinking in the tavern, Norman in the Kingdom of God was not idle.
Combined with the information he had discovered previously about the consumption of priesthood authority, Norman decided to launch a simple "reward system" to operate among the believers at this stage.
Norman did not intend to be the nanny of his believers. If the believers really had to pray to him for answers to any problems, even if Norman's divine power consumption was small, it would not be able to withstand the consumption of a huge number of prayers.
When Pete was the only believer, Norman had no choice. If he did not help him, he would not even have the source of divine power.
However, when the number of believers increased with the preaching, meticulous care could not make the believers cherish it more. Instead, most people would take it for granted.
Only by using a suitable mechanism as a reward for the power of God can the motivation of believers be properly aroused.
According to Norman's design, believers need to pay varying amounts of [knowledge points] whether they want to seek knowledge about spells, combat skills, or information about something from him.
Want to become stronger? Want to solve problems?
Nowen can do it, but believers need to work hard to earn points first, instead of just lying down and waiting for the gods to help!
The effect of the [Knowledge Points] mechanism is immediate:
After receiving the oracle, Pete decisively changed his original intention to stand idly by and watch Rena's experience after learning about Nowen's "faith rules"!
He has tasted the great benefits of believing in Nowen!
The God of Knowledge can help him successfully learn the 3rd-level spell that has troubled him for a long time;
The God of Knowledge can also teach him the 1st-level spell that gives him actual combat ability, and it is more convenient and useful than the set of the followers of the Magic Goddess!
No need to beg the magic network for a response in a low voice, and there is no constipation-like spell slot restriction!
As long as his spirit can hold up, he can enjoy the pleasure of fighting like a real professional like a spell turret!
If Pete is told now that he can no longer use these things in the future, and has to go back to the hard days of believing in the Magic Goddess before, he thinks he will definitely go crazy.
Pete even felt that the power of the god of knowledge, Nowen, was simply the temptation of the legendary evil god.
Mortals clearly know that believing in evil gods will have serious consequences, but they just can't resist the temptation! Because it is too tempting, once you get involved, you can't quit at all, and you are willing to fall!
In short, if he wants to continue to enjoy the various benefits of believing in Nowen, he has to work hard to earn more [Knowledge Points].
Just preach to Reina and find a way to get her to offer her faith to the God of Knowledge. It's not like he has to fight the Bloodfang Gang right now. What's the difference between these 5 knowledge points and giving them away for free?
"Ahem!"
Pet cleared his throat and recalled the movements he had learned in the etiquette class of the nobility:
"Reina, please allow me to take up a little of your time. I hope to introduce you to a great existence - the God of Knowledge, Nowen!"
"If you are willing to offer a belief to the God of Knowledge and get His response, I think there will be a way to solve the problem you encounter."
Reina blinked:
"God of Knowledge, I don't think I have heard of this god?"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because the God of Knowledge has just awakened from a long sleep, and not many people in the world know His name, but as long as you offer your faith, His great power can still help people in trouble."
Pet directly recounted the previous vest "God Setting" of Nowen.
"To be honest, before you met me, I was actually a fake wizard with no fighting ability at all. It was the God of Knowledge who taught me the true secrets of magic, so that I could become the great wizard in your eyes."
Suddenly learning that there was a god she had never heard of, and that as long as she believed in him, she could solve the troubles she encountered, made Reina feel like pie in the sky.
But seeing Pete's sincere look, Reina felt hopeful:
"I think, Mr. Pete, you helped us drive away those gangsters before, and you also saved my life, so you must not be a bad person, so... I am willing to believe in you!"
"God of Knowledge... What should I do to offer my faith to him?"
...
