Don't call me evil god

Chapter 818 Wallace's "Funding"

Wallace looked at the girl Valerie carefully.

At first glance, the other party was a typical border man from the Reyak Kingdom.

He dressed neatly and tucked the corners of his clothes into his warm trousers to avoid being affected while working.

Her young face was rosy. Although she didn't have the skin as smooth and delicate as the girls in the western part of the kingdom, the perseverance and heroism that girls born on the border possessed were qualities that people in the west could never learn.

People on the border tend to be straightforward and don't like to be polite. Once they make a promise, they will try their best to fulfill it and stick to their words.

This kind of daring character allows their friends to trust them with their backs without worrying about being backstabbed or deceived.

This made Wallace willing to invest his ideas in Valerie.

He pointedly brought up another seemingly unrelated topic:
"Valerie, how long have you been here? How much contribution points have you accumulated now?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then answered openly:

"Sir! I am from the former Qim Town. At that time, there was no Dawn City. I have always stayed here and never left."

"I have been accumulating contribution points for the past three months, and now I am ranked over 20000 on the leaderboard!"

"Perhaps in a few years, I should be able to become a believer of the great God of Knowledge like those powerful people!"

Wallace nodded and tidied up the things on his stall. Actually, there weren't many things. After all, he was in the business of appraisal, and he mainly relied on his knowledge and the help of the magic bestowed by the God of History.

"I have a plan to... um, help you. I want to discuss it with you. It's about your desire to learn appraisal and valuation."

"I live over at Zhushi 3rd Street. How about you come over to my place and sit for a while so we can chat?"

The old scholar extended an invitation.

The girl opened her bright eyes wide in surprise, and pointed her right index finger at herself in disbelief:

"Ah I?"

Wallace confirmed: "Yes, it's you."

Valerie thought for a moment and did not agree directly. Instead, she asked seriously, "Old sir, my home is not far from yours. My parents and I live on Zhushi Street, just two streets away from you!"

"Can I go home and get some tea first? My father just made a bag of tea a few days ago. He grew it himself. It smells so good when brewed! I'll bring some to you!"

Wallace grinned when he heard that. "No problem. It's No. 8 Zhushi rd Street. There's a persimmon tree in the small garden in front of the door. Don't go the wrong way."

The old scholar has been in the border area for several years. He has acquired some of the border people's temperament and speaks directly.

He believed that Valerie was not taking the opportunity to inform her family.

The other party definitely just wanted to bring him some tea.

The reason is also very simple.

In the Ceylon region today, the magic of illusion has almost achieved "complete coverage". Even businessmen who come from other places to do business will soon be recommended and blessed by the Goddess of Illusion.

Having the magic of illusion means having [Instant Messenger].

Use the instant messenger to send messages to friends and family you know, even if your hands are tied.

As a result, various types of "kidnapping and extortion" crimes in Ceylon have long been eradicated.

Because there is no possibility of success at all.

Hostages can notify their families or seek help at any time.

It is possible that before the criminals even have a chance to start extorting money, enthusiastic "passers-by" have already swarmed up and started beating and kicking them.

do not forget.

There are also contribution points for combating crimes.

The first person to arrive even had to be gentle when fighting, otherwise, the latecomers might not be able to get this almost "free" contribution. In this safe environment without any worries and suspicions, the agreement between the old scholar Wallace and the young girl Valerie became so simple.

……

It didn't take long.

As promised, the girl came to the small villa rented by Wallace with a small bag of dried tea leaves, and skillfully helped the old scholar complete a series of actions such as boiling water and making tea.

After taking a sip of the fragrant green tea, Wallace got to the point:

"Valerie, I need to explain something to you first."

“Whether it’s identification, valuation or authenticity, these skills rely on more than just your knowledge and experience.”

"More importantly, you need to get the approval of the great God of Natural History, Davinson. When he is willing to grant you the power to identify all things, you will become a true junior appraiser and have the ability to identify items related to gods."

"otherwise."

"No matter how many books you read and how much knowledge you acquire, you are at best an apprentice appraiser, and you can only appraise things like that pearl necklace."

Upon hearing this, Valerie sighed uncomfortably and said dejectedly:

"Ah? Oh... why is it like this again?"

Wallace raised a finger and changed the subject;
"but!"

"I have an idea now."

"I plan to provide you with enough contribution points to allow you to directly enter the top of the leaderboard during the next blessing, so that you can quickly receive the blessing of the God of Knowledge."

"Ah?!" Valerie exclaimed.

When she received Wallace's invitation, she thought he wanted to talk to her about "apprenticeship" or something like that.

If you want to learn a skill that is enough to make a living, but not to the point of being an expert, there is actually a high threshold.

Either it is a skill passed down from generation to generation, or there must be an experienced master to lead the way.

The latter often have to start as an apprentice of a master, working hard and never complaining, and enduring beatings and scoldings for several years or even more than ten years, during which time they gradually learn the corresponding skills from the master.

As a result, the old scholar Wallace proposed a "plan" that she had never expected.

"Why are you willing to support me?"

As she said this, Valerie became a little wary.

She was almost cheated a few days ago, so now is the time to be on guard.

This good thing that happened to Valerie was like pie in the sky, and she instinctively didn't want to believe it.

Wallace patiently explained: "My funding is conditional."

"First, I need you to choose to become a complete and pure appraiser who masters the art of natural history after receiving the blessing of the God of Knowledge."

"Second, I have some ideas that I want to test, but I don't have enough manpower to test them right now, and you are just the right person to be my assistant."

"I need to explain this to you in advance."

"Some of the ideas I plan to verify may be dangerous. In the worst case scenario... they may even cause you to be spurned by the gods and no longer be recognized or blessed by any god."

"Please think carefully about whether you are willing to accept my funding."

Valerie was lost in thought, somewhat entangled.
