Chapter 385: Guess Why He Is the God of Wealth

"Count!"

Star God watched as Su Wen revealed his tiles and smiled, saying, "Looks like this round goes to the God of Wealth."

Fighting God waved his hand dismissively, "We barely started, and it’s already over. How dull."

As he spoke, he pushed his tiles forward.

Clearly, Fighting God hadn’t yet grasped the gravity of the situation.

From the moment the heavenly victory began, Su Wen played Mahjong as if he had some kind of cheat code, winning in ways that were unexpected yet somehow made sense.

There was no skill involved here—just sheer luck.

After losing six rounds in a row, Fighting God couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Star God, are you too shy to cheat for yourself and secretly helping the God of Wealth instead?"

"?"

Star God shot back, "Do you really think I need to cheat to beat you?"

Fighting God: "……"

Star God had a point.

When it came to Mahjong, Fighting God was no match for him.

"Then what’s going on with the God of Wealth?"

Fighting God’s gaze shifted, and he asked in a serious tone.

Beside them, Wind God chuckled and said, "Brother Fighting God, any idea why he’s called the God of Wealth?"

At this, Fighting God fell silent.

After a moment, he spoke up, "God of Wealth, how about you let Xiao Ying take your place?"

Su Wen couldn’t help but laugh.

He had thought that once Fighting God noticed his streak of good luck, he’d either accept the loss or let Xiao Ying step in for him.

But instead, Fighting God wanted Xiao Ying to replace him?

"Xiao Ying, do you get it?"

"Sort of."

"Alright, then you take over!"

With that, Su Wen stood up and gave his seat to Mo Xiaosu.

Deep down, he knew that from the moment Fighting God proposed this wager, the matter of the spiritual bug was destined to become common knowledge.

After all, even without his luck, Star God was there to back him up.

As Star God had said earlier, did he really need to cheat to beat Fighting God?

Su Wen then sat back and watched with amusement as the four of them continued their game of Mahjong.

Sure enough, once he stepped away, the absurd streak of luck at the table finally settled down.

But at the Mahjong table, the Star God’s card counting abilities were at their peak.

Every time the Star God won, it was thanks to Fighting God’s unintentional help!

In every situation, the Star God accurately predicted which tile Fighting God would play.

Even when Fighting God overthought things and broke his own tiles to avoid letting the Star God win, he still unknowingly fell into the Star God’s trap.

Perhaps out of consideration for Fighting God’s gaming experience, after winning nine rounds in a row, the Star God “accidentally” lost one round to him.

For a moment, Fighting God was thrilled.

He thought his luck had finally turned and that this was the start of his comeback!

As for the Wind God and Mo Xiaosu?

In this round, they were completely sidelined.

But they weren’t upset at all—in fact, they were excited.

After all, the stakes in this New Year’s Day game were high, and the thrill was real.

In this situation, whether they won or lost didn’t matter.

And they weren’t stupid; sitting across from them was the Star God!

Who could possibly beat the Star God, except for the God of Wealth, the true god on duty?

No matter how absurd the luck of a true god might seem, they could understand it.

“What a fool.”

Su Wen watched Fighting God’s overconfidence and thought, “But this is fine.”

“Not overthinking, just having fun.”

“If possible, I hope Fighting God stays like this forever.”

“After all, none of us can handle the burden of Fighting God growing up.”

As Su Wen was lost in thought about Fighting God, Yuanbao’s voice suddenly interrupted.

“God of Wealth, the river of time has sent you New Year greetings.”

“Would you like to take a look?”

Su Wen nodded and said, “Of course I have to see the dark river’s greetings!”

He wasn’t surprised at all by the river of time’s actions.

Everything happening in the river of time was known to the River of Fate.

And everything on the River of Fate’s side was also clear to the river of time.

So, he figured there must be some kind of connection between the two rivers.

That’s why sending a red envelope to the River of Fate would definitely be noticed by the river of time.

It was only natural for the river of time to come knocking.

If the Capital River didn’t come sniffing around for wealth, that would be the real surprise.

“Buzz!”

A ripple in space appeared in the office area, and then a New Year greeting card, shining with a golden glow and wrapped in a sparkling, elegant package, appeared before Su Wen.

Su Wen took the greeting card, opened the seal, and looked at its content.

“A steadfast friendship, a sincere emotion, filled with countless blessings and expectations from the river of time, wishing our dearly missed friend, the God of Wealth, a happy Spring Festival!”

“At the same time, with the New Year comes a new atmosphere, and all the employees of the river of time wish the God of Wealth good health and all the best.”

After reading it, Su Wen flipped through the New Year greeting card from the river of time twice.

“That’s it?”

Su Wen looked at Yuan Bao and asked in confusion, “Is that all from the river of time?”

Yuan Bao nodded and said, “Yes, that’s the message in the card.”

“However, God of Wealth, this New Year card seems to be made of quite good material.”

“After all, it’s a creation of the river of time. You should keep it. When you forge weapons later, see if you can incorporate this into the process.”

After saying this, Yuan Bao paused and continued, “Now, about the message the river of time asked me to convey.”

“In the previous sub-timelines, didn’t the river of time say it would start a new business?”

“Now that new business has been successfully launched, called the Demigod Power Source.”

“As the God of Wealth, you know that for an immortal half-god to advance to become a true god, they need to use their body as a boat, their soul as the oar, and their true spirit as the guide, only then can they knock on the door of the true god after reaching the other side.”

“This process is painful and long.”

“Even if the immortal half-god has the potential to become a god, the time it takes to become a god is still too lengthy.”

“The newly launched Demigod Power Source business from the river of time can shorten the time it takes for you and your comrades to knock on the door of the true god.”

The river of time’s original words were: as long as the God of Wealth has abundant resources, the God of Theater can immediately become a true god!

Su Wen: “……”

He guessed that the new business opened by the Ink River would surely be a more convenient and quicker way to make money, something he couldn’t refuse.

But he didn’t expect the dark river to operate like this?

So, the advance of an immortal half-god to become a true god takes a long time, right?

No worries, the river of time directly speeds up the process!

Is that the meaning?

Hmm… this business clearly looks expensive, yet it really intrigues him.

In other words, if the God of Theater becomes a true god, then the main Time and Space might progress even more smoothly from there, right?

Some messy calculations probably wouldn’t occur anymore, would they?
