Chapter 25: Three Million in Favors

"Good."

Su Wen took the mask from the Star God’s hands and nodded.

Replacing his original identity with a mask?

After putting on the mask, he would use his profession as an alias; that sounded great.

Hiding his true self, from now on, Su Wen would be Su Wen, and the God of Wealth would be the God of Wealth—two completely separate entities!

It seemed the Star God was aware of some of the tricky situations that lay ahead.

"Aren’t you curious?"

The Star God chuckled and said, "Using a mask to disguise oneself while hiding the true self clearly indicates this is not a normal organization structure. No matter how you look at it, there’s something off, isn’t there?"

"Don’t you have any questions?"

Su Wen replied, "Aren’t you just asking for me?"

The Star God paused, then burst into laughter, saying, "You are different from the other fate bearers I’ve met."

"But you are right; I asked what you were curious about, and I will answer for you."

"The fate bearers with the character ‘God,’ like my title as Star God and your title as God of Wealth, are indeed different from ordinary fate bearers. They possess strong power and versatile talents."

"For example, a fate bearer with the character ‘God’ of the same level, if given enough time to prepare, could kill as many fate bearers of the same level as he faces."

At this point, the Star God paused and continued, "To put it simply, your life is very precious. Until you have the power to protect yourself, never reveal your true identity."

"Otherwise, whether in daily life or during Arrow Realm exploration, you and your family and friends may encounter danger."

"In confrontations at the national level, fate bearers with the character ‘God’ are the first ones targeted, especially those who haven’t yet reached their potential… you understand, right?"

After donning the mask of the Great God of Wealth, Su Wen softly said, "I understand."

In fact, there was another kind of terrifying crisis that came from betrayal by insiders!

However, since he had just joined the Star God’s organization and did not know much about the others, he would wait a little longer and observe.

Exploring the Star God’s reliability by crossing time and space; if the Star God could withstand the test of this timeline, then everyone would be satisfied.

"By the way, the mask has the ability to resist probing, sensing, divination… among other ways of gathering information."

The Star God gently patted Su Wen’s shoulder and added, "It can also help you hide your fluctuations of presence and physical strength."

"And from today on, only I know, and I am the only one who will know that the God of Wealth is Su Wen… do you understand?"

Su Wen’s brow twitched as he listened to the Star God; it seemed the Star God had sensed his Level Two Life Form aura.

But he wasn’t surprised; such a powerful figure could easily destroy Monkey King City, so it seemed the Star God was far ahead of him in Level.

If he had sinister intentions towards Su Wen, could he resist at this stage?

So it was good that the Star God knew and helped him hide.

"I understand."

Su Wen thought for a moment and said, "But I have information stored at the police station, and I’ve had contact with several officers there."

The Star God waved his hand and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve already taken care of things at the police station for you."

"Yesterday, Su Wen was an ordinary person. Today’s Su Wen, and the Su Wen of the future, will still be an ordinary person."

"Everyone who saw you at the police station voluntarily signed a confidentiality agreement and agreed to have their memories erased, completely removing all memories of you."

"And all the surveillance footage that recorded your information has been destroyed."

"I have also arranged the itinerary for yesterday’s ordinary Su Wen and managed the videos taken of you on the streets and in the supermarket."

"I have taken care of all the details for you, so those who remember you will remember nothing anymore."

"Including the data uploaded to the police station system, I have also removed it and set the highest permissions. To be safe, I even made some disguises."

"Don’t worry, I have considered everything."

Su Wen: "…"

You’re quite skilled!

But seeing the Star God being so cautious, he suddenly felt relieved.

Perhaps the Star God knew more than he expected.

"Did you pay back the three million Li Wenze lent me?"

"…"

The Star God looked at Su Wen and fell into silence.

The atmosphere in the room became quiet and awkward at that moment.

"You didn’t… forget to repay, did you?"

After a long pause, Su Wen asked tentatively.

"…"

The Star God remained silent, and his silence already revealed the answer.

"So I owe Li Wenze three million?"

Su Wen forced a smile; since Li Wenze had voluntarily erased his memories of Su Wen, he definitely wouldn’t remember lending him three million.

So the borrowing became quite an awkward situation.

Even if he tried to repay Li Wenze later, the other man might refuse, thinking that Su Wen was trying to bribe him.

"When the opportunity arises, repay this favor to Li Wenze!"

The Star God spoke up, "After the memory-erasing technique removes their memories of you, everything about you fades into obscurity, making it reasonable in their minds."

"Li Wenze lending you three million just means that three million is missing from his account, and that missing amount is a fact."

"It has happened. Since he doesn’t bring it up, naturally he won’t seek compensation after the erasure."

"So, when his memories become foggy, he will convince himself that he spent that three million."

"As for what he bought or whom he gave it to… he can choose from many justifications, but his memory will instinctively help him select the most convincing reason."

Su Wen: "…"

Is the memory-erasing technique really this frightening?

After the memory removal, some unreasonable phenomena and facts, will his memory choose the most convincing reason for itself?

What… reason could be more convincing than one that he convinces himself?

"You don’t need to feel guilty; three million is just a favor for you as the God of Wealth. He made out well."

The Star God laughed and said, "Besides, I checked just now, and Li Wenze has only a little over one hundred twenty thousand left in his account. That means the three million he lent you has been savings he held for a long time."

Su Wen sighed, "Yes! He saved for so long just to let me take it, and… Li Wenze really is a good person!"

"Can’t you think about it from a different angle?"

"What do you mean?"

"Li Wenze saved for a long time to gather three million. This shows that the three million is very important to him. Why didn’t he mention it before signing the confidentiality agreement and even undergoing memory erasure?"

"You mean…"

"Yes, his silence, his refusal to mention it at all, was just to trade that three million for a favor from you."

The Star God said softly, "That’s why I said, three million for a favor from you is truly a great deal!"

Su Wen: "…"
