Don't call me evil god

Chapter 19 Knowledge Points, Reward Mechanism

Pete was helpless about what happened to Reina's family.

After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in Green Port. Goblins are a naturally greedy and fickle race, especially the guy named Cunning Shadow Stonecrush that the Stonemason Brotherhood encountered, who is the most shameless broker among the goblins.

Goblin brokers often have their own channels, helping to connect the principal and the principal, making money on both ends, collecting commissions and taking cuts.

When taking a job from a broker, they will definitely try every possible way to deduct or reduce the payment, or they will delay as much as possible and find all kinds of excuses to delay. Owing money is one of the most common qualities of goblins.

What's more troublesome is that the brokers often have no fixed place to live, and they move from place to place after they get the money. After getting the money, they will most likely charter a goblin airship that is available the nearest time and fly to another place on the continent of Plantis to vacation and hide from the public, in order to prevent creditors from coming to collect debts.

Cunning Stonecrush is the most shameless goblin broker, because he did something even more shameless:

Instead of hiding from the limelight, he found Dursley to be his thug, intending to "openly" evade the huge reward.

If the troubles of Reina's family are to be solved, the key to the problem naturally falls on Dursley and his Bloodfang Gang.

If we don’t get rid of the Blood Fang Gang, we won’t be able to ask Jiaoying for money.

The Blood Fang Gang is not as vulnerable as those thugs defeated by Pete. They have their own territory and employ several professionals. They are not comparable to the Stonemasons Brotherhood in terms of either military force or financial resources.

If they want to face the Blood Fang Gang head-on, Pete alone will definitely not be enough.

The powerful 3rd-level spells such as [Hada's Hunger] can threaten the lives of the Bloodfang Gang's professionals. But the problem is that such spells are OK for destroying monsters such as the followers of the evil god, but they are forbidden to be used against normal intelligent races in Green Harbor.

If it were really used against the Blood Fang Gang, there would most likely be loss of life.

Not only would they be at war with the Blood Fang Gang, but they would also be wanted by Green Port.

Pete came to Green Port with the intention of obtaining a certificate for a rank 3 wizard. His living expenses were only a little more than one gold coin a month, so he was not here to risk his life with anyone!

Pete: Although I sympathize, I don't want to get involved. It's not worth it for me.

Nowen: No, you want to!
……

Nowen had been using the [Eye of God] to observe synchronously through Pete's perspective. When he learned about Reina's experience, he immediately realized that his opportunity to preach and gain new believers had come.

What do Reina and her father's Brotherhood of Stonemasons lack most right now?
strength!

They were helpless against Dursley's harassment, wasn't it because ordinary people had no means of resistance against professionals?
To put it bluntly, the solution to break the impasse is very simple.

As long as the Stonemason Brotherhood has enough professionals, the threat from the Blood Fang Gang can be resolved!
Noven said he was very familiar with this!
In order to motivate Pete to spread the "God of Knowledge" to Lena, while the two were drinking in the tavern, Noven in the Kingdom of God was also busy.

Combined with the information he had previously discovered about the consumption of priestly authority, Novin decided to launch a simple "reward system" among the believers at this stage.

Nowen did not intend to be a babysitter for his believers. If the believers really had to pray to him for answers to any problems, even if Nowen's divine power consumption was small, it would not be able to withstand the consumption of such a huge number of prayers.

When Pete was the only believer, Noven had no choice. If he didn't help him, he would lose even the source of his divine power.

However, as the number of believers increases with the spread of the teachings, the meticulous care no longer makes the believers cherish it more. Instead, most people take it for granted.

Only by using a suitable mechanism to reward the power of God can the motivation of believers be properly aroused. According to Nowen's design, whether believers want to seek knowledge about spells, combat skills, or information about a certain event from him, they must pay varying amounts of [Knowledge Points].

Want to become stronger? Want to solve problems?
Noven can do it, but believers need to work hard to earn points first, instead of just lying down and waiting for the gods to help!

【Knowledge Points】The effect of the mechanism is immediate:

After receiving the oracle and learning about Noven's "rules of faith", Pete decisively changed his original intention of standing idly by and watching Reina's experience!

He has tasted the great benefits brought by believing in Nowen!
The God of Knowledge helped him successfully learn the 3rd level spell that had troubled him for a long time;
The God of Knowledge can also teach him the tier 1 spell that gives him actual combat capabilities, and it is easier and more useful than the ones used by the followers of the Goddess of Magic!
There is no need to beg the magic network for a response, and there is no constipated spell slot restriction!
As long as his spirit can hold up, he can enjoy the thrill of true professional combat like a magic turret!

If he were to tell Pete now that he would no longer be able to use these things and would have to go back to the hard days of believing in the goddess of magic, he would think he would go crazy.

Pete even felt that the power of the god of knowledge, Nowen, was simply the temptation of the legendary evil god.

Mortals clearly know that believing in evil gods will have serious consequences, but they just can't resist the temptation! Because it is too tempting, once you get involved, you can't quit at all, and you are willing to fall into depravity!

In short, if he wants to continue to enjoy the various benefits of believing in Noven, he must work hard to earn more [Knowledge Points].

All he has to do is preach to Lena and find a way to get her to offer her faith in the God of Knowledge. It's not like he has to fight the Bloodfang Gang right now. What's the difference between these 5 knowledge points and giving them away for free?
"Cough cough!"

Pete cleared his throat, recalling the movements he had learned in the aristocratic etiquette class:

"Reina, please allow me to take up a moment of your time. I would like to introduce you to a great being - Noven, the God of Knowledge!"

“If you are willing to offer your faith to the God of Knowledge and get His response, I think there will be a way to solve the problems you encounter.”

Reina blinked.

"The God of Knowledge, I don't think I've ever heard of this god?"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because the God of Knowledge has just awakened from a long sleep, and not many people in the world know his name. But as long as we offer our faith, his power can still help people in trouble."

Pete simply recounted the "divine design" of Norman's previous vest.

"To be honest, before you met me, I was actually just a fake wizard with no combat ability at all. It was the God of Knowledge who taught me the true secrets of magic, and that's how I became the great wizard in your eyes."

Suddenly learning that there was a god she had never heard of, and that all the troubles she encountered could be solved by believing in him, made Reina feel like it was pie in the sky and it was unreal.

However, seeing Pete’s sincere expression, Reina felt hopeful:

"I think, Mr. Pete, you helped us drive away those thugs before, and you saved my life, so you must not be a bad person, so... I am willing to believe you!"

"The God of Knowledge... What should I do to offer my faith to him?"
