Chapter 67: City God Reward Office

After this thorough exploration of the secrets of China, Chen Xiu came to several conclusions.

Whether it is a toilet rat or a hamster, it can only leave the secret realm on its own after eating humans.

Toilet rats have a habit of hoarding blood rice, so every toilet rat's shed must be demolished.

Broken wood can also be used to make fire.

The hamster’s house is the granary. The granary cannot be dismantled and can be used directly. Moreover, the wood used in the granary is good wood.

However, the city walls of Cang China can be demolished and left to occupy space. The bricks and stones removed can be used directly to build houses for farmers to live in.

So after killing the rat demon this time, Chen Xiu went back to recruit farmers and moved into the secret realm to farm, leaving only Xin Wuya to look after the place.

The value of toilet rats is actually not very great. Firstly, they cannot leave the secret realm, and breeding is not promoted at all. They are useless as labor and are prone to spreading plague. Moreover, they can only be made to leave the secret realm by feeding them human sacrifices or educating them like Teacher Lu, but both are of little value. Therefore, they can only be bred on a small scale, or left to fend for themselves and exploited regularly.

Instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to use manual labor and let professional farmers come and study how to increase the yield of blood rice.

"County Lieutenant, we have harvested a total of 1,200 dan of dry rice, 1,800 dan of wet rice, and a certain amount of rice stalks."

"What is the yield per mu of these fresh blood rice?" Chen Xiu asked.

"County Lieutenant, based on what I can observe, there are four Toilet Rat Villages in the Cangzhong Secret Realm. Each village governs approximately 300 mu of farmland. This means that there are only 1,200 mu of land in Cangzhong, and each mu produces only one and a half dan of fresh rice."

"Of course, this part of the fresh rice was grown by Senior Xin Wuya using magic to extract the blood of toilet rats, so the yield may have decreased."

"That's not bad. How would toilet rats know how to farm? They're definitely qualified to be used as blood fertilizer. Then, let the farmers try to grow some of it outside the secret realm. It's okay if they can't succeed. That way, blood rice will become a rare resource."

Chen Xiu waved his hand and said, "From now on, during training, all the rice in the army will be replaced with blood rice. Only when everyone is well fed and well-drinking can we resist the demons! You must also strive to be better and work harder. Get to know the secret realm better. Don't be worse than a cat, or you'll be a real glutton!"

Wan Xiangping whispered, "That cat is a ninth-grade cat! Doesn't that mean a lot of people are just trash?"

"You brat!" Chen Xiu cursed directly, "Your family paved the way for you, and yet you let a cat snatch it away. I didn't name anyone who was the most useless, but you stood up for yourself! Three days left, practice your archery skills!"

On the other hand, Song Wuji has helped transform several Kitchen Gods to walk in the past two days.

But few people come to Zaosi to consume.

It turns out that among the twenty-four departments of the City God, there was a reward department. After Song Wuji established the Kitchen Department, it was announced that it had resumed operations and opened the City God Treasury exchange, which was open not only to the various departments of the City God Temple, but also to the people of the entire city.

There are magical instruments, magic weapons, martial arts secrets, elixirs that can directly increase one's cultivation level, and talismans that can drive away evil spirits and monsters, but they can only be exchanged for "good deeds".

How do you earn Yin De? Copying the City God's Edict 1 times counts as one Yin De, donating 1 yuan counts as one Yin De, and one demon material counts as one Yin De. Encouraging good deeds and gaining faith in the City God counts as 1 Yin De for each believer you bring in.

For a time, everyone in Taichang City rushed to tell each other the good news. They couldn't afford to exchange other items, but most people could afford the talisman as long as they worked hard.

If a noble family mobilizes the whole clan to copy the City God's Edict, it will only take three to five days to exchange it for a set of skills. Moreover, the City God's skills will be taken off the shelves as soon as they are sold. In other words, as long as the person who buys it does not pass it on to others, it will be an exclusive family heirloom.

This move made the county magistrate look very unhappy. He immediately called Song Wuji and Lu Han for a small meeting. "The City God clearly didn't leave the city. These things can't have appeared out of thin air." "It's hard to say." Lu Han said, "The City God told us the method of offering sacrifices to civil and military officials. It's obvious that the City God didn't appear suddenly. He knows a lot of things, so it's reasonable for him to know some skills."

"Where are the elixirs? Where are the magic weapons? Where are the magical instruments? Where did these come from?"

Song Wuji said, "It seems that the City God has mastered at least one secret realm, which is within the city. It can even be said that it is somewhere inside the City God Temple."

County Magistrate Tian Chengbi nodded. "That's right. This secret realm produces far more than Cang Zhongguo. It seems the City God already knows we have a secret realm. He's trying to warn us, but it's not to the point of falling out. He's just more clearly trying to plunder our faith and establish a say."

"How do we deal with this?"

Lu Han said: "We are an open conspiracy, and his is also an open conspiracy. An open conspiracy is not a conspiracy. There is no solution to an open conspiracy. Moreover, the City God opened the treasury exchange, which increased the overall strength."

"I just don't know if worshiping too many gods and copying too many City God's edicts will turn the people into puppets."

Song Wuji frowned and said, "Actually, I have a plan. It's also an open conspiracy. It can be cracked."

The county magistrate was puzzled: "How to crack it?"

"Why don't we just exchange most of it in advance? After all, he's opening it up to everyone, and we're citizens too."

Song Wuji said, "Also, he can motivate those who need to go out and hunt monsters. After all, there is a threshold for copying one hundred copies of the Treasure Edict. The number of people who can recruit new people to believe in the City God is also limited."

"Why don't we just start training classes to equip ordinary people with more professional monster hunting knowledge instead of copying the imperial edicts?"

"We can even openly cooperate with the aristocratic families and work together to exchange skills and spells first."

"Besides, the people are just going through a frenzy right now. I don't believe that simply reciting sutras and copying imperial edicts can replace meals."

"In the end, it's the same old story. He fights his battles, and I fight mine. Tian County, didn't we already have a plan? Dilute their beliefs, commemorate the heroes, sacrifice to the literary, martial, and kitchen gods..."

Lu Han touched his chin: "Good idea."

Tian Chengbi said: "It's a good idea, but it would be better if we also had a stable channel to make weapons and refine pills."

"It would be better to have a second secret realm."

Song Wuji said, "I'll go explore Yizhuang again. I have a good recovery ability. As long as I'm full, I can recover. I can just break one leg and reattach it when I come back."

"Hiss!" Lu Han took a breath. "You are a ninth-rank cultivator. This is too much of a sacrifice."

"There's no other way. This is the only clue we have. Although the Beggar Sect's inheritance may seem strange, it has great potential. If we can master it, we might be able to produce more ninth-grade masters. Offering skulls for martial arts is too slow, and the other demons have been recruited by the Tiger Demon Gathering. Searching for demons in the wild is also very risky. This is the only way."

Tian Chengbi had never thought that Song Wuji would actually sacrifice himself, and secretly said: If one day, I am killed by the City God...
