Chapter 61: Conducting an Experiment
“Hmm? Why are you still here?”
After chatting with Su Wen for a while, the Star God shifted his gaze to Wealth Spirit and asked in confusion, “You need to go to the adjacent Room B11 to take a statement, and then you can leave.”
“Of course, this matter needs to be kept confidential. If you disclose anything, we will hold you accountable in accordance with the law.”
Wealth Spirit responded, “Lord Star God, I suddenly thought about it; contributing to the nation is the duty of every citizen. Your previous words had a significant impact on me, and I realized it in an instant!”
“Living in this world, how can one be just an ordinary person and contribute nothing?”
The Star God replied coldly, “I have already said that I would ask you one last time, and you have clearly answered me.”
Wealth Spirit anxiously said, “Lord Star God, from what you just said, I deeply understand the impact of the Wealth Spirit profession on society. So, after thinking it over, I believe it would be best to join the state and become a government worker.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Really!”
“You won’t regret it?”
“I won’t!”
“Good, in that case, let’s sign the agreement!”
With a wave of his right hand, an ancient scroll appeared before Wealth Spirit.
“For fate bearers, the state does not impose such strict controls. As long as you follow the relevant national regulations, the state will provide assistance within its capacity.”
“And after you sign this agreement, in the event of wars, disasters, calamities, or turmoil, if the state calls upon you, you must not resist for subjective reasons.”
“Fulfill your obligations, and you will enjoy the corresponding rights; that is my promise to you.”
Wealth Spirit picked up the ancient scroll and examined it carefully. Then he bit his finger and wrote his name on the scroll.
“Buzz!”
The ancient scroll shimmered slightly before the Star God tucked it away into his robe.
“I felt the spirit of your dedication to the nation, but you could have just written your name on the scroll with your hand.”
The Star God said softly, “You could even have used the black pen beside you to sign it; there was no need to bite your finger.”
Wealth Spirit: “……”
He clearly saw some bloody markings on the scroll earlier.
And the Star God’s scroll was so elegant that it felt completely out of place with the table and the black pen nearby, which is why he bit his finger to sign his name with blood.
But he hadn’t expected…
“Alright, since you have decided to join the national organization, the state will be responsible for you.”
The Star God said seriously, “By this afternoon at the latest, you will be assigned to the appropriate team.”
“At that time, you will be informed, and don’t forget to get to know your new teammates.”
“From now on, during your explorations in the Arrow Realm, you may become comrades who share life and death!”
Wealth Spirit froze for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Star God, can I join God of Wealth’s team?”
The Star God let out a surprised laugh and said, “You finally revealed your true feelings!”
The Star God finished speaking and gestured for the God of Wealth to sit beside him.
“Go ahead, speak up!”
“With the God of Wealth in front of you, what hints have you received?”
Hearing this, Wealth Spirit’s pupils narrowed.
Then, as if recalling something, he suddenly chuckled.
“It’s an honor to have two fate bearers with the character ‘God’ grace me with their presence.”
On the other side, the Star God shook his head and said, “Don’t overthink it. The God of Wealth just woke up and happened to come to me for something. If you want to leave now, I can erase your name and let you go.”
Su Wen nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I came to see the Star God for another matter, not for you.”
Wealth Spirit: “……”
Are these two always this blunt? Did I really overthink things?
“After the God of Wealth appeared, I received a hint that I’ve entered the range of his powers.”
Wealth Spirit took a deep breath and said, “Within this range, the cost of summoning beings from other worlds is halved.”
The Star God asked softly, “What else?”
“Also, the chances of summoning higher-level and super-tier beings are increased.”
“In that case, let’s run an experiment.”
As he spoke, the Star God looked at Su Wen and said, “God of Wealth, look at Wealth Spirit with disgust. Even convince yourself to dislike him, find him repulsive, and never want to see him again.”
Su Wen replied, “Alright!”
As soon as he spoke, Su Wen looked at Wealth Spirit, his brows slightly furrowed, and a deep sense of aversion began to rise within him.
This Wealth Spirit in front of him was so irritating!
That dog!
Just looking at him makes me sick!
I feel like throwing up!
Ugh~
As these thoughts swirled, Su Wen’s brows tightened, and his gaze toward Wealth Spirit grew increasingly hostile.
At that moment, Wealth Spirit’s expression changed, and he abruptly stood up from his seat, looking terrified.
“How do you feel?”
The Star God flipped his right hand lightly and smiled.
“I…”
Wealth Spirit spoke up, “Lord Star God, could you please ask the God of Wealth to stop feeling disgust toward me? I’ve already understood the consequences of his aversion.”
Hearing this, the Star God nudged Su Wen gently with his left arm and said, “God of Wealth, how about I treat you to Beijing roast duck for lunch?”
“Sure! The roast duck in the Imperial Capital is quite famous.”
“Right, and I know a few private restaurants that serve excellent dishes.”
“Sounds good! Let’s invite Fighting God too, and we can all go together.”
“Forget Fighting God; that drunkard just wants to drink as soon as he steps into a restaurant. Especially after finding out yesterday that someone hexed him, he’s probably itching to get wasted.”
“In that case, forget it. I can’t handle Fighting God when he’s drunk.”
“Fighting God has decent willpower; he won’t act out, but he does get a bit silly. When he’s drunk, he likes to wander the streets and dive into trash cans. I wonder what childhood trauma caused that?”
“No idea.”
“……”
As the Star God steered the conversation elsewhere, the malice Su Wen felt toward Wealth Spirit gradually subsided.
“God of Wealth, Lord Star God.”
Wealth Spirit said earnestly, “When the God of Wealth feels dissatisfied with me, I receive a hint that the cost of summoning beings from other worlds doubles.”
“At the same time, the chance of summoning low-tier beings increases significantly, and there’s also a chance of summoning inanimate objects.”
“And when the God of Wealth is unhappy with me, I feel this overwhelming discomfort, as if I’ve committed some unforgivable sin.”
The Star God said gently, “Don’t worry; we were just running an experiment.”
“By the way, now that you’ve joined the state, do you have any thoughts?”
Wealth Spirit hesitated for a moment and asked, “Can I really bring it up?”
“Of course! Don’t think of us as villains. In the future, we’ll all be comrades. We treat our own with kindness.”
“Can I summon beings from other worlds while next to the God of Wealth?”
Hearing this, the Star God smiled and said, “You’ll need to ask the God of Wealth himself. We respect your suggestion, but we also respect his wishes.”
At this, Wealth Spirit cautiously looked at the God of Wealth, his expression filled with hope.
