Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 217 Give me Lao Duan a favor

"Don't be nervous, this is a simple way to use the barrier."

After entering the elevator that went directly to the sixth underground floor, Duan Mingyuan explained to the two, "I just modified some of their memories so that they would think of us as VIP guests of the exchange."

Duan Mingyuan spoke calmly, as if he had only done something insignificant.

However, Zheng Liu and Xing said nothing. They felt that Duan Mingyuan redefined the usage of the word "just" and instantly changed the memory and cognition of all the staff of the exchange. This was simply the ability of a villain boss.

At the same time, it also made their previous sacrifice and awareness seem a little embarrassing.

In their original imagination, the trip to the exchange was a life-and-death experience, and they might have to sacrifice themselves in the end in order for Duan Mingyuan to bring out the information about this place, but in fact, Duan Mingyuan seemed to want to single-handedly defeat the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce.

"What about this? Is this also the effect of the barrier?"

Zheng Liu pointed to the "∞" on his brooch. In less than a minute, he and Xing went from being dying with less than seven hours left to being the richest people in the Chamber of Commerce. The change happened so fast that it felt unreal to them.

They are all the most insignificant little people in various organizations. It would be as easy for the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce to crush them as it is to crush an ant.

Dying silently should have been their end, but...

They now have a real-life version of Feng Ling Yue Ying by their side.

When the security personnel of the exchange blocked their way, Feng Ling Yueying modified the code in the background, changing their identities to "VIP customers". The chips they carried were also changed to "9999999" with one click. Zheng Liu had never encountered such a satisfying situation in the game. After all, modifying too much data in the game may cause bugs or corrupt files.

"No, this is all thanks to the enthusiastic people at the exchange."

When intangible things such as talent, ability and inspiration became tradable commodities, Duan Mingyuan realized that there was supernatural involvement behind the Chamber of Commerce, and all the evidence pointed to the "goddess" mentioned by the young man.

All transactions must be completed under the supervision of the goddess.

Only true gods can strip away these illusory things and turn them into commodities that can be traded.

This also explains why gamblers who run out of chips in the casino do not die of natural causes, but rather their life energy is drained away, as if an invisible hand has strangled them by the throat, taking away everything they have.

This is also the power of God.

"This shows that the goddess that the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce believes in is real. She is the real 'dealer'. The chips come from her, the rules are set by her, and everything that happens here is controlled by her."

Giving and taking are both God's powers.

"As long as we understand the principle behind this, the next thing will be much easier to handle. Since He can let you have only seven hours of chips left and can also give you unlimited chips, I didn't actually do anything. I just asked Him to give me, Old Duan, a favor."

"Old Duan."

Zheng Liu put his hand on Duan Mingyuan's shoulder. He felt more and more that something was wrong with Duan Mingyuan, so wrong that he had completely lost his common sense.

In his opinion, if one wants to ask for the protection of gods, one must kowtow three times and bow nine times. Asking gods to give oneself a favor is itself a serious violation of common sense.

What’s even more outrageous is that the goddess believed in by the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce actually gave Lao Duan this face.

"Stop pretending, Lao Duan, you are actually God, right?"

Zheng Liu thought about it carefully. Resurrection, memory modification, and transformation of people into other objects are all abilities that belong to the Creator in the belief system. "Is there anything in this world that you can't do?"

"That's too much." Duan Mingyuan waved his hand. He felt that Zheng Liu was flattering him too much.

Only by always keeping an open mind and seeking advice can we make progress. "For example, in the fields of fox demon tail care and ear care, I still have a lot to study. In addition, I just started reading the book Ecology and Origin of Fox Demons recently."

There are still too many things he doesn't know about this world, not to mention the vast universe.

"Yeah, all he can do is kill everyone here in an instant if he wants to."

Xing suddenly spoke.

Her voice changed, and an amber light flashed in her dark pupils. Although her appearance did not change, her temperament was very different from before, giving people a sacred and majestic feeling. Zheng Liu was stared at by that pair of shining eyes, and he wanted to kneel down in front of her.

"Don't worry, I'm just borrowing her body temporarily."

Xing looked at Duan Mingyuan carefully, as if she wanted to imprint everything about him into her eyes. "Since this dangerous person has spoken to me, I can only give him some face."

This sentence directly revealed her identity.

"Heya, this is the name they gave me."

This is a name that even Zheng Liu has heard of.

Heya, the god of commerce and trade.

This is the deity depicted in the Shining Star mythology system. In the Cosmic Civilization magazine that he read in high school, there was a special issue describing this lost civilization.

The Flashing Star got its name because of the large amount of metal minerals on its surface. The Semites completed their original capital accumulation by selling minerals. With the help of the company's resources, they once built the Flashing Star into a trade center for the entire universe. They hoarded unimaginable wealth. The book says that during the most prosperous period of the Semites, they bought 7 planets from the indigenous people.

Until a devastating metal fission swept across the entire Flash Star, turning this once prosperous commercial center into a radiation-filled death star in less than three days.

It was also from that time that the residents of the planet were forced to leave their homes. Some of them joined the company, while others wandered around the universe with the huge wealth they had accumulated.

"You, you are the God of Trade!"

Zheng Liu's voice was trembling. Even if he told others what happened at this moment, saying that he saw Heya in person, others would just think he was crazy.

"That's all in the past."

Heya chuckled, "After the fall of the planet, Universe Company gave existences like us another scientific name."

As she spoke, she kept staring at Duan Mingyuan. The God of Trade was obviously not interested in Zheng Liu, and did not expect him to understand what he said.

But Duan Mingyuan is different.

According to some information she knew, Duan Mingyuan had visited the court not long ago and had some unpleasant experiences with Universal Company.

She believed that Duan Mingyuan should have guessed the scientific name the company gave them. After all, the entire universe would be terrified when it came to this topic.

"I hope I'm the first 'cocoon' you've ever seen."
