I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 59 Giving Alms in the Snow

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and a chill swept through the streets.

Wayne stepped out of the tent and approached the first homeless man who stood with his hands clasped in prayer and his head bowed.

The other person's eyes were full of pleading. Upon seeing Wayne's arrival, they immediately knelt down before Wayne like a docile lamb, saying:

"Sir, please have mercy, God help..."

Wayne raised his hand and placed it on the other person's head, instantly activating the basic witch doctor skill.

He immediately sensed patches of shadow and darkness within the other person's body.

The most serious problem was a certain part of the spine, which showed obvious misalignment. At the same time, the patient also had severe inflammation and the effects of more than a dozen kinds of enhancement agents remaining in his body.

The homeless man seemed to be confessing to God in a church, murmuring:

"I used to be a truck driver. Once, I went to the doctor for treatment of a back injury, and the doctor prescribed me painkillers..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a warm current flow from the palm above his head into his spine, all the way down to the unbearable pain in his lower back.

Then his lower back felt as if it were enveloped by a hot spring, becoming tingly and numb, and the constant pain gradually disappeared.

As the warm current arrived, even the pain in other parts of his body was quickly relieved.

This relief is not the pain relief that comes from taking painkillers, but a real recovery of one's condition!

Before he could react, the hand he clung to had already moved away from his head. The homeless man instinctively reached out as if to beg the other person not to leave, but instead received a glass of milk.

Looking into the saint's eyes, which were as deep as a black lake, he quickly took the milk and drank it down, tears streaming down his face.

Wayne then walked to the next homeless man, who, like the first one, knelt down without hesitation.

Waiting for Wayne's blessing.

These days, the homeless people in the surrounding neighborhood have all heard about Wayne's existence.

Some of the homeless people they already knew received Wayne's "exorcism and spiritual communication" by chance, which cured them of diseases that had plagued them for a long time and even threatened their lives.

Old Will is a case in point.

However, they simply didn't have much money. Many people who had money would immediately use it to buy enhancement products, so they couldn't hope to receive Wayne's blessing.

After hearing that Wayne was going to perform "exorcism and blessing" for ten people for free today, many people rushed over immediately.

Some people, who were already queuing outside the overcrowded homeless shelters, rushed out despite the cold.

They were all afraid that if they missed today, they would never have this opportunity again.

There are even rumors that the man who exorcises evil spirits in the tent is a saint sent by God to earth.

For these devout homeless people, it's not just about their current physical ailments, but also about whether they can enter heaven after death.

At this moment, under the arrangement of old Will and old Billy, a group of homeless people spontaneously lined up in a long queue in front of Wayne.

Wherever Wayne went, homeless people knelt down one after another, begging Wayne to exorcise evil spirits and grant them blessings.

When Wayne heals a homeless person, the person is always moved to tears and utters words of gratitude.

"Lord...the Messiah has come into the world, the final judgment is coming soon, and I will die for the Messiah...thank you for your grace..." Looking at the scene before him, old Will was in tears, his hands raised to his chest in prayer, his whole body trembling with emotion.

On a street blanketed in snow, the scene resembled something straight out of a medieval religious mural.

Old Will then took out his camera and faithfully recorded the scene.

He concluded that since the Messiah had already descended to earth and was performing acts of salvation, this scene before him would surely become a new "miracle" in the near future, and would be celebrated by the world.

Old Billy, standing to the side, wore the same devout expression, muttering to himself:

"By Bondiye above, the ancestral spirits are watching all this. Now that your messenger has arrived, the world will surely be saved..."

He also knew that old Will considered Mr. Wayne to be the Messiah, an apostle of God.

However, to him, whether it was Bondiye or God, these Others all had mercy on mankind, and Mr. Wayne was the messenger of the gods.

The messengers of the gods must be more powerful than the messengers of the gods.

This is old Billy's simple religious worldview.

[Your basic Witch Doctor skill has been improved (Specialization 44% + 10%)]

[Experience points +10]

The ten homeless men at the front of the line were quickly treated, and Wayne's mental strength was reduced to only 0.1/1.7.

The purpose of retaining this mental energy is mainly to deal with unexpected situations.

Looking ahead, there were dozens of homeless people standing in a long line.

In the distance, many homeless people were still heading in the direction Wayne was.

Everyone's faces were filled with pleading and hope, and they looked at Wayne as if they were looking at a cross in a church.

Not to mention, behind Wayne were ten homeless people kneeling and praying devoutly in the snow.

"We've used up all ten spots for today. Sir, you must be tired. Everyone can go home now and come back tomorrow." Old Will stepped forward, one hand in his pocket, and looked at the remaining homeless men.

As a homeless person who had lived on the streets for a long time, he understood the nature of these homeless people very well.

While most of them are considered docile, there are certainly some who are cruel, tyrannical, or even insane.

After all, more than 30 percent of homeless people use enhancement drugs for a long time, and Edward, who once assassinated Wayne, is a typical example.

Moreover, many of the homeless are mentally unstable, and some have joined violent gangs.

Upon hearing Old Will's words, most of the homeless people in line looked disappointed, and some even shed tears on the spot, but they still obediently prepared to leave.

Most of them lived on nearby streets and already knew of Wayne's reputation for benevolence. Some had even witnessed Wayne's "resurrection" firsthand, so they dared not complain about Wayne in the slightest.

White, equally wary, stood behind Wayne, staring at the group of homeless people in front of him.

Just then, Wayne sighed, stepped forward, gently pushed old Will aside, and said:

"Though I cannot bestow blessings, I can still give alms; bring all the milk."

"But, sir..." old Will said somewhat anxiously.

Wayne's voice was gentle, yet undeniably authoritative, as he said:

"Go."

Old Will, Old Billy, and White rushed into the tent and carried out the several large buckets of milk that had been prepared beforehand.

They knew that this milk could cure many inflammations and ailments, and it was prepared by Mike and David in the underground alleyway shelter under Wayne's command.

This is their last reserve.

Wayne took a paper cup, poured half a cup of milk into it, and handed it to a homeless man amidst his hopeful gaze.

The homeless man was overjoyed, quickly took the paper cup, and began to sip the water.

"Thank you, God bless you, sir, thank you for your kindness..."

Wayne then slowly stepped forward and poured cups of milk for the homeless people in line.

The group of homeless people, who were initially disappointed because they had arrived too late, were moved to tears, as if they had been redeemed.

They had all heard the rumors about the saint's "blessed milk" and understood that this glass of milk might save their lives.

On this cold, snowy day when the epidemic is rampant.

Surrounded by the three men, including old Will, Wayne walked along the street and began distributing milk to the homeless people on the roadside.

The homeless people who had been exorcised, blessed, and given milk by Wayne were unwilling to leave and followed behind Wayne, walking with him.

Seeing what Wayne did, the homeless people, without anyone noticing who started it, began to spontaneously help the homeless people who had fallen on the roadside.

There were so many homeless people on the roadside that Wayne's several large buckets of milk were quickly distributed.

The reputation with the Sanctuary Lord has been increased to 20.

[With the current reputation, the lord can use himself as a vessel to project the Sanctuary effect outwards.]

Upon seeing the two lines of text that appeared before him, Wayne was startled.

The reputation effect is working!

Just then, a group of well-dressed men and women, holding crosses, walked towards them from the street corner ahead. They seemed to be members of a church and were watching a girl huddled on the side of the street, trembling with fear.

The first person said to his companion:

"God said, 'If you find a bird's nest on the way, do not take it with the mother and the chicks...' God protects even the nest, but does not bless her. This shows that she is less worthy of grace than beasts. Poverty is clear evidence that she has been abandoned by God."
