The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 188 Approaching the Gods (X)

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Binding" attribute panel was thrown in his face.
-
【Name: Binding】

[Type: Active Skills]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Multiple items can be combined into one through "binding", but the target must be smaller than the caster, otherwise there is a high chance of failure. ]

[Consumption: If the target is a non-living being, no consumption will occur. If it is a living being, a certain amount of faith value will be consumed based on the size of the target.]
-
What a magical skill!
Liu Sheng was just feeling impressed that he had never expected that he would be able to master the "binding" skill of the Dawn Priest so quickly, when he heard the congratulations from the "examination assistant".

"Congratulations! Candidate Xuan No. 39, you are the first candidate to obtain a skill and receive an item reward: "Holy Water"."

With a clang, another panel popped up.
-
【Name: Holy Water】

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: Water blessed by the Supreme God, can heal and purify.]
-
A small jade bottle appeared in Liu Sheng's hand.

I guess this is the holy water with amazing effects.

Liu Sheng raised it to his ear and shook it, but there seemed to be only a few drops in it.

[How stingy.] Liu Sheng complained secretly.

[Be content, people won't give you a jar of holy water. If that were the case, wouldn't we be able to sweep across this world? ]

[It won’t be that easy, right?] Liu Sheng is more rational.

[Exaggeration! Exaggeration! Do you understand?]

[By the way, the first candidate to obtain two items will not be rewarded? ]

【Keep on, keep on, keep on! 】

Unfortunately, it didn’t continue and the rewards stopped.

The plot that had just paused at the moment when the Dawn Priest handed the book to Liu Sheng also resumed.

"You can use it to preach. It will be useful." said the Dawn Priest.

Liu Sheng already knew this, and took the bound sacred book with great gratitude.

"Excuse me, Priest Dawn, where do you usually go to preach?" Liu Sheng thought about it and decided to ask.

She silently decided to avoid the place where Fuxiao went. It was obviously not an easy place to preach, otherwise there would not be no progress after so long.

The Dawn Priest was stunned by her question. He thought for a long time before saying, "I... don't remember. It seems that I just walked around and promoted the teachings."

Liu Sheng frowned and wanted to ask again.

But the Dawn Priest was already impatient: "Alright, get to work! Didn't the High Priest ask you to preach? Stop talking too much, I have work to do too!"

This 360-degree turn left Liu Sheng stunned.

Then Liu Sheng wanted to ask her questions again, but she didn't answer and even started to sit in silence facing the wall.

[Didn't you say you were going to work?... But you don't seem to be going to work? ]

Liu Sheng could only leave the Dawn Priest's room and complain silently in his heart.

[Because this part of the plot only gives her so many lines to speak, it’s useless to ask more.] Shijie told Liu Sheng.

[You mean, this is like a game in the "Easy Fishing" world? ]

Unfortunately, at this time, Liu Sheng no longer had any memory of Yi Yu’s personal experience of the game. All that remained was some information about the “game” recorded in his notes.

She recalled some of the content and asked: [The Dawn Priest is similar to the NPC in the game, who is set with a certain program and can only act according to the program? ]

【Yes. 】

So I asked her about the past, but she didn’t remember it because it was beyond her programming and even triggered her mode of ending the conversation.

Liu Sheng finally understood why the Dawn Priest suddenly had a sour face, and why her personality was so split. He was angry with her at first, and then so friendly to her the next.

[So can I understand it this way? This illusion is constructed according to the logic of the game, so there are so-called "missions," "props," "skills," and "rewards." ]

[Yes, I am also learning the logic of this part of the code, it is quite interesting. ]

The world said "interesting", but the tone was calm. At this time, Liu Sheng had already walked out of the temple according to the route he remembered, stood on the street, and watched the pedestrians passing by.

[Are all people here programmed in a similar way? ]

【You can understand it that way.】The world answered.

There weren't many people on the street, and they were all in a hurry. At a glance, their behavior patterns were no different from those of normal people.

【You can only find out the abnormality when you talk to them in depth. 】

[Why isn't this illusion more detailed?] Liu Sheng didn't understand.

[It's still the same problem. It can't handle such a large amount of computing, unless... it uses Tianyan Stone as the core, but... it's obvious that we don't want to use this high-dimensional product in your small test.]

Because of the rules, the world cannot tell the specific name of what exists behind the scenes, and there is no way to even refer to it.

Anyway, it’s OK as long as Liu Sheng can understand it.

……

While he was pondering, the voice of "Examination Assistant" suddenly sounded in Liu Sheng's ears.

"After listening to the words of the high priest, with excitement and trepidation, you officially stepped out of the temple, ready to start your missionary career as an apprentice priest in Xuan Thirty-Nine City..."

"Please complete the novice task: develop the first believer (0/1)"

Liu Sheng had some ideas about this novice mission, but not much.

Liu Sheng looked back and saw that their temple was just an inconspicuous, gloomy, old house on this deserted street.

In addition, there was no sign at the door, and it was pitch black inside. People passing by probably wouldn't even look at it, let alone be attracted to go in and receive the divine light.

Then we can only go out and preach one by one...

【You know how to preach.】 The world reminded her.

Liu Sheng was touched by the world and asked uncertainly: [You mean? When we were at Qixuan Academy? ]

[Yes, Mother Earth.] The world mocked coldly.

[According to my research, the order of spreading faith is generally: establishing connections, conveying ideas, gaining people's hearts, collective activities, and consolidating faith.]

[Now that I think about it, it seems like I’ve experienced all of this…]

To establish connections, we just need to distribute small flyers everywhere in Qixuan Academy.

Then, didn’t she use her little tentacles to “convey ideas” to everyone and “deepen into people’s hearts” through both soft and hard methods?
Wasn’t the final attack on the Chongdao Temple and the battle against Master Qixuan just a “collective activity” to “consolidate faith”?

Thinking of this, she weighed the sacred book of "missionary artifact" in her hand and smiled triumphantly.

But it would be better to complete the task under the eyes of those people and show her abilities.

This is also her little trick.

While the mirage is now obscured, she is going to do something that will waste time but will definitely help the main storyline in the future.

For example, let’s explore the map of “Xuan Thirty-Nine Cities” first.

Especially the name of this city, it seems to mean something...

But you have to go there once to find out what it is specifically.

So Liu Sheng observed for a while and caught a passerby who was dressed as a scholar and was walking in a hurry.

"Sir, do you know where the bookstore is?"

The scholar was startled by Liu Sheng's sudden call, and his eyes rolled rapidly in his sockets like a frightened mouse.

He looked up and down at Liu Sheng's gray clothes, and was a little surprised: "You, do you study? Can you read?"

"Why don't you read? Why don't you recognize it?" Liu Sheng was even more puzzled by this question.

"Don't be surprised, young lady. It's just that it's very rare for a woman to study." Seeing Liu Sheng's offended expression, the scholar shrank his head and explained.

Liu Sheng frowned, suddenly realizing something, and asked hurriedly: "Does this place belong to the Tang Kingdom?"
