Chapter 63: Easy to fool

Li Chengqi is not a believer in any religion, but has he never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

Whatever believers ask for, God will grant them. This always feels like something is not right.

This reminded Li Chengqi of the plot in the movie about the fake god. No matter what the believers prayed for, everything was ALL YES, which ultimately led to very troublesome results.

That’s right, God shouldn’t respond to every request, at least he should ask for some price, otherwise God’s help will appear to be too cheap.

Li Chengqi has a great sense of immersion when playing games. Since the AAI game allows players to play the role of gods, they should follow the thinking of gods.

So Li Chengqi thought about it and decided to make a harsh request to let Viola understand that God's help is not something you just want.

"Let me see how embarrassed you are, hahahaha!"

Then he picked up the headset...

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.

April 30th, afternoon.

In the chapel, Viola was leading the knights to kneel under the holy emblem and pray.

If there are no special requirements, the general prayer time is about half an hour to 15 minutes. It is just like a routine homework. This is done whether there is anything to ask God for or not.

It was the same today, the prayer was successfully completed. If there was anything different from usual, it was that among the people praying there was Rena in housekeeper uniform, as well as Wendy and Aldai who were standing in the corner observing.

When the two saw Viola getting up, they quickly gathered around and asked:

"How's it going? Did the Demon King God agree to help?"

Judging from Viola's frowning expression, she seemed not optimistic.

"Your Majesty said that he can repel the fleet, but there are two requirements."

Ao Dai heard this and said:

"Oh? What's the request? Do you want hundreds of beautiful pure girls?"

Viola and Wendy looked at her with "do you want to see what you're talking about" looks.

"Is this strange? According to our academic city's research, the Demon King God is very likely to like beautiful women. In the mythical age, he had a huge harem. Sometimes just to pray for the Demon King God's protection, he would need to offer more than 10 beautiful and pure girls. Only young girls...haven’t you ever offered sacrifices?”

"No, Your Majesty has never made any request in this regard."

"This is wrong. If one or two stone carvings say this, it can be interpreted as deliberately slandering him, but we have found many stone carvings from different periods, all saying that the Demon King God is extravagant."

Aldai will be very serious when it comes to academic matters.

"What kind of sacrifices do you usually use?"

"Um...meal?"

"Breakfast girl, dinner girl?"

Hearing this, he knew that Aldai knew it very well.

"No, it's just normal food, and after every sacrifice, the king will wash the tableware and send it back. However, the king seems not to be very satisfied with the food we presented. Once, he specially gave a large amount of expensive seasonings. "

Aldee looked at Viola as if she were a fool, as if to say, 'That's it? ’.

Wendy didn't care about the mess. She pushed Aldai away and asked:

"What does the Demon King God ask for?"

"He said, asking us to send a reconnaissance ship to the sea to confirm the location of the enemy fleet."

"Is this considered a request? Even if you don't say it, we will definitely do it."

Knowing that a fleet is coming to land, a reconnaissance ship must be sent, otherwise it will be a fool's errand and not even know when the enemy has landed.

"Another request is that I..."

"Do you want to sacrifice yourself?"

Aldee didn't give up yet and intervened.

"No, I am required to personally lead the entire city's civilians to hold a grand prayer ceremony that lasts all day. I also particularly emphasized that these two conditions must be met, otherwise the king will not take action."

"..."

Aldai hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent.

"Even if your Majesty doesn't say anything, I plan to hold a large ceremony soon to thank you for your help. I really can't think of any reason for your Majesty to put these conditions as conditions."

"Perhaps, there is no reason?"

"No, that is the Demon King and God who ruled the world in the mythical era. His wisdom and strategy are by no means something we mortals can easily understand. There must be something deeper."

As a devout believer, Viola had no doubts about this, but Wendy and Odell looked at each other and had an idea in their minds at the same time.

This Demon King God...is too easy to fool, right?

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Different gods have different requirements for rituals.

For example, the God of Agriculture may require that the altar be filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, while the God of War may require sacrifices to initiate or win a battle. There are also some gods who are hostile to each other and will require each other's believers to be used as sacrifices and kill the sacrificial flags.

But no matter what kind of god, the ritual requirements cannot be just simple prayers.

There is no other way. It is understandable that Li Chengqi has become a god for the first time and is not yet proficient in business.

But he felt good about himself and felt that this time he would be severely embarrassed for Viola.

After all, he usually sees Viola busy working all day long, so it must be very difficult for him to have to spare a whole day to pray this time.

Li Chengqi didn't find the problem, and he was a little proud.

"Brother Li, I'm here again. Do you have any non-fried potato chips?"

"Yes, I may be short of everything in this store, but there is never a shortage of snacks."

The next morning, Lei Lei took advantage of the opportunity to go shopping and came to get close to her again.

But when Lei Lei returned to the checkout counter with the potato chips, she found that Li Chengqi was not staring at the laptop screen and playing Minesweeper as usual, but was frowning thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking about? Brother Li."

"Do you know what the thing that goes on your hand and is used for swimming and paddling is called?"

That's it?

Is this what worries you?

Lei Lei failed to follow Li Chengqi's train of thought for a moment, but she still said:

"Are you talking about flippers? They are worn on the feet, not on the hands."

Li Chengqi slapped his forehead. He was only thinking about paddling and forgot that those things were not gloves.

"Brother Li, why do you ask this? Do you want to go swimming at the beach?"

Speaking of the beach, Li Chengqi suddenly remembered that he did have some plans to travel.

The family went to the small restaurant next door for twenty days, and Li Chengqi had not left home since graduating from college. He had considered this issue before.

But then I thought about it, there was really no point in going alone.

Although Lei Lei looked at him expectantly when she asked, Li Chengqi would not ask anyone to go with him. He always felt that asking someone to go with him was a bit like a crime...

After all, they are not familiar with each other yet. Directly asking people to go to the beach seems to have impure intentions.

So Li Chengqi said:

"I have some ideas, but I'm too lazy to do it."

"Go, go, now is a good time to go to the beach. It will be too cold to go to the sea when the weather gets colder in a few days."

Lei Lei's active encouragement certainly has her own purpose.

After these days of observation, she really couldn't see what was wrong with Li Chengqi. But if Li Chengqi is allowed to go to the beach to play, he might reveal his flaws because he relaxes.

Lei Lei also knew that Li Chengqi would not invite her to go with him because of his personality. After all, he was not familiar enough with Li Chengqi to travel together.

But we can't go together. We can meet by chance, and we can peek. It's not like Lei Lei has no feet, so she can just follow them secretly.
