I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 633 Grades dropped (36)

Within the city of Garan, statues of the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit can be seen everywhere.

Like other cities in the state of Wangsheng, the buildings here are mostly golden-roofed, decorated with animal totems such as white elephants and peacocks.

Temples are everywhere along the roadside, and a large number of statues of gods are placed at crossroads. Believers can often be seen bowing here, hoping that their piety can move the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit, obtain the Bodhisattva's immeasurable light, immeasurable wisdom, and immeasurable future, and finally be guided to the Buddha's Pure Land to enjoy its immeasurable blessings.

Within the city of Garan, the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit permeates every aspect of people's lives, and the temple keeper holds an unparalleled position.

There is no monks' management committee here; the temple keeper is the administrator.

Unlike the Grand Temple Keeper, the Temple Keeper is the leader of the local temple keepers, who oversees all the temple keepers and is subject to the management of the Grand Temple Keeper.

Temple keepers from different places compete with each other, striving to be the best in their respective fields, all to prove their faith in the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit and thus receive the Bodhisattva's blessings.

Therefore, they constantly offer prayers, hold parades with floats, and frequently search for gems and gold to create golden statues of the Bodhisattvas they worship.

If a believer performs an incredible miracle, such as prostrating himself from the east to the west of the Land of Rebirth with one prostration and one bow, he will publicize it extensively and make it his achievement.

To do this, you need money.

Only with money can one buy flowers and fruits as easily as sprinkling water, hire people to kneel and worship, spend money to purchase amazing special effects for the Flowing Light Star Lord, and hire actors to create various extraordinary phenomena such as flying arhats.

Therefore, you must have money!

In their quest for wealth, the temple resorted to any means necessary, employing every method that could generate profit, as long as it could advance the project.

They do this not only locally, but also when they are in other places.

If there's a way to make money, they'll do it.

If they don't have a way to make money, they'll create one.

With these ideas in mind, they established interstate departments such as the Disaster Response Department, used every means to make money, and then made offerings to the Star Lord through water and land rituals.

Therefore, after learning that "This Incredible World" could stabilize the Buddha's heart, the head priest of the Garan City Temple immediately bought it.

However, instead of selling the external manifestations directly, he distributed them to every temple in Garan City.

Then sell them by time.

Each external device activates ten mobile phones, and each believer must spend ten dollars to play for an hour. The collected money is then used to prepare for the prayer meeting.

In this way, believers receive the Buddha's blessing, and Garan City receives the funds to hold the prayer conference, all of which will be attributed to their own achievements.

Although ten yuan is expensive, once the gimmick of a college entrance examination score of 481 was used, the name of the temple was announced, and the advertisement was released, the temple was immediately surrounded by crowds.

Every phone is being used by someone, whether they are ordinary people or cultivators, they are all enjoying the content here. After all 30,000 external displays are activated, they are sold to others at a higher price, and then we wait for new external display devices to arrive.

One device can display ten mobile phones, which can generate 2,400 yuan in revenue per day. The result is that you can break even the day after you buy it, so this business is guaranteed to be profitable.

As soon as the 30,000 external displays arrived, the temple keeper of Garan City started making a profit immediately after distributing them.

In the past, when believers were asked to donate money, many people would resist, and the amount of money donated was not very large.

But now they realize that it's not that the believers don't have money, but that they haven't tightened their grip enough before.

Driven by a desire for success and Buddhist compassion, believers enter the dream world, quickly become engrossed in it, and then endlessly renew their subscriptions.

At first, it was just to find the secret to improving grades, then it began to delve deeper out of Buddhist compassion, then it became immersed in bizarre logic from which it could not extricate itself, and finally it became completely addicted and unable to break free. No temple had ever seen such a lucrative industry.

People play with their phones every day, and many cry when they are taken away because they have no money. The high level of difficulty allows them to remain engrossed in the game and continuously donate money to the temple.

Afterwards, even more cultivators came from afar, drawn by its reputation, and the entire city of Garan was immediately immersed in a sea of ​​dreams, which quickly became popular.

On the third day, seeing the soaring income, the temple keeper of Garan City's eyes lit up, his palms burned, and a dreamy smile appeared on his round, prosperous face.

As he looked at the data, he played with the gold dust in his hand, feeling happier than ever before.

"Hey, this is really something good! This is definitely a treasure bestowed upon me by the Bodhisattva of Universal Benefit, helping me to get rich and granting me longevity!"

When a Buddhist cultivator reaches the highest level of enlightenment, they can ask the star lord they worship to transfer their primordial spirit to him, becoming an Arhat by his side.

From then on, they would be bound together, sharing both glory and loss.

Because of this benefit, every temple keeper works tirelessly to serve the Star Lord, creating a unique form of Star Lord capitalism.

Seeing the soaring revenue, the temple keeper of Garan City is preparing to monopolize all external manifestations and then establish a new department to promote this business throughout the entire Rebirth State.

If we can trick them into revealing who the author of this dream is, then we should try to recruit them into Buddhism.

At that time, one can attain Arhatship and the other can become a monk. This would be a wonderful story that can be written into the classics and passed down by people.

Thinking about this, he felt a little itchy, so he found a trusted confidant and allocated funds to have the other party conduct an investigation.

Millions were spent, but nothing was gained, only a vague piece of information: "This dream may be related to the God of Literature."

When Wenchang Xingjun was mentioned, the temple keeper of Jialan City hesitated.

The other party was once a friend of Bodhisattva Puhui, but Bodhisattva Puhui betrayed him, which made Wenchang Xingjun furious.

Moreover, Wenchang Xingjun is known to dislike Buddhist cultivators, so who knows if there's something wrong with the dream he's in influencing?

The contract has already been signed, and the details have been finalized. If we withdraw now, all previous investments will be wasted.

Although the costs have already been recovered, the income in the past few days has been soaring. If it continues for a few more days, large-scale water and land rituals can be held, and his position as an Arhat will probably be secure.

Furthermore, the business isn't something he's doing alone; everyone's doing it. If he quits now, he'll be standing against everyone and will definitely be killed, and then a new temple keeper will come in.

Does he want to improve, but others don't?

This is what Star Lord Capitalism is all about.

If he doesn't do it, plenty of others will. If others do it, they can just do it too.

With this in mind, the temple keeper of Garan City made a decisive decision.

Let's just pretend nothing happened.

Even so, we still need to prepare a scapegoat and a reason for exoneration. We need to make sure that all parties are taken care of and that everything is done with utmost care.

Although he was very careful, some bad things still happened afterwards.

My mock exam scores dropped.
