Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 68: So you also play ____?
The young priest was put in the confessional.

He needs to reflect on himself and wonder why he failed to resist the temptation of magic entertainment and instead became addicted to it.

But he refused to really reflect.

Using magic for entertainment is against the commandments, but using entertainment to spread the glory of the goddess is in line with the commandments.

To sum up, he is not wrong!

Although he agreed to enter the confessional, it was only a verbal compromise.

Being inconsistent in what one says and what one thinks is also inconsistent with the proper code of conduct for a pastor.

It was just the subtle stimulation brought by this secret violation of the rules that made him unable to stop.

It was as if a strange switch had been turned on in my body.

It made him want to try more rebellious things.

In the confessional, the young priest recited the scriptures skillfully. Because he was so skilled that it had already formed muscle memory, he did not need to think at all during the recitation process.

What he is really thinking about now is the lineup of Auto Chess.

He won first place in the first game and the card searching process was so smooth. Was he just lucky?

No, it's impossible. It must be a revelation given to him by the goddess!
Spreading the teachings through games is his current mission.

How can the achievements of a clergyman be limited to commenting on scriptures and establishing theories?

Sooner or later, he will create a game that illustrates his understanding of the doctrine, which will surely influence more people than his scripture annotations.

However, his understanding of the game is not thorough enough now, and the prerequisite for innovation is familiarity with the basics.

So the most important thing now is to play Auto Chess thoroughly so as to understand what the game is.

Then there is no need for him to limit himself to the clergy lineup. His study of all lineups is for the purpose of better spreading the doctrine one day in the future.

We should invest our limited life into unlimited games and entertainment.

My Lord, one day you will understand.

"Boom-thump-"

The tower bells echoed within the ancient walls of the church, startling the crows resting on the eaves.

This is the signal for the end of evening service in the church, and it is also the sound that announces the end of the young pastor's full day of reflection.

He pushed open the heavy door of the confessional, and the evening sun shone on his face, bringing some warmth.

Although he stayed in the cramped room all day, he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he was very excited.

He has already simulated many lineups in his mind and urgently needs to test them on the real machine.

The period after evening classes is one of the few times in the day when clergy can move freely.

During this time, he would usually go to the library and look up biographies of various church historical figures, which was a way of leisure that did not violate the commandments.

This is why he could immediately think of their deeds after seeing the priest-bound chess pieces.

But today, he did not choose to go into the library, but changed into casual clothes that he would only wear a few times a year and walked out of the door of the Twin Towers City Church.

There is no curfew during the fair, so the nights in the city are still lively.

The pastor noticed that many large temporary tents were set up in many places on the street, with auto chess game machines placed inside, charging only one copper coin per hour.

After asking passers-by, I found out that these were the goods that the game console agents would transport. They were in a trial operation and the charges were 50% off.

The Drogo Group held a limited-time Auto Chess ranking competition with prizes, which lasted until the end of the expo.

The top ten people with the highest total score will receive generous rewards, and the best one can get a limited edition game console.

"Wouldn't it be possible to find someone to help you score points?" the pastor asked a passerby in confusion.

"Of course not. Even though the machines are placed together, they don't necessarily enter the same game. Opponents are matched based on scores on something called the 'network', and the matching rules are very complicated." The passerby explained.

"OK, thanks."

The pastor was tempted. If he could get a game console...

But if you think about it carefully, it's not realistic. Where to put it is a problem, and I don't have that much time to score points.

After standing outside the big tent and hesitating for a while, he decided not to play here.

Right on the street, there was a risk of being discovered by his fellow soldiers, and he didn't want to go into the confessional again.

I'm addicted to chess and I feel sick if I can't play Auto Chess for 24 hours.

He decided to go to the headquarters of Drogo's Games, the oversized house on Cornflower Street.

Other members of the church would definitely not go inside, so it should be safer there. Arrived outside the Cornflower Street store.

The huge red center logo is very impactful.

He took a deep breath outside the store, realizing that he was not doing this for entertainment, but for a greater cause.

He successfully convinced himself and walked into this "abyss of depravity" with firm steps.

Unfortunately, the pastor died before he could complete his business.

There's no space in the store.

After the press conference, the popularity of Auto Chess reached an unprecedented level.

The entire store, even the top-end private rooms that cost five silver coins per hour were fully booked.

In the hall on the first floor, behind every "lucky person" who could play, there were at least five eager onlookers.

Some parents even bring their children here just to get in touch with the most popular things among mages, and maybe awaken their magical talents.

In order to facilitate queuing, a machine for collecting queue numbers was placed at the entrance of the store.

When the priest saw the illusion above the machine, showing that there were currently 3568 people in line, he knew he would not be able to play today.

In that case, I had no choice but to join the onlookers and enjoy the view.

Come to the machine where the most people gather.

There are three layers inside and three layers outside, and the players surrounded can only be vaguely seen.

He is an old man with white hair.

"What lineup is he playing?" the pastor asked another spectator who was a head taller than him.

"He's not playing. He's drawing chessboard decorations. I think it's called the Silver Inquisition chessboard. He's already spent several gold coins."

The Silver Emblem Tribunal?
Isn’t that the church’s most famous Inquisition headquarters? It can actually be made into a chessboard decoration.

If he can't even pull out a few gold coins, then he may never get this decoration unless he is promoted to bishop.

The player paid the waiter a few more gold coins.

Currently, recharging can only be done through cash payment.

A large number of Aquarius illusions appeared, and a new round of lottery began.

Blue, white, white, blue...

All I drew were blue skies and white clouds. If I drew a hundred more, it would be enough to directly exchange for the Silver Emblem Tribunal.

Finally, a strong golden light flashed, and the player who drew the lottery stood up excitedly, allowing the priest to see his face clearly.

"Ah!" the young pastor exclaimed, not because he drew the Golden Legend, but because he knew the person who was drawing the lottery.

"Your Excellency! So you also..."

--------

In the surveillance room of the game store, Drogo observed everything that was happening with pride.

The church is still very wealthy. When people draw Aquarius and recharge their accounts, they pay based on how many orders they recharge.

As soon as the bishop arrived, he charged the money for ten minutes straight.

In order to reflect the concept of humanized service, Mr. Bishop has unlocked a higher limit for the one-time recharge amount.

Look at the young priest watching.

It was worth it that Drogo secretly changed the data during the trial play, increasing the probability of the priest finding a cleric when searching for cards, and maximizing the novice experience. It was really addictive.

They should have made a game a long time ago. They haven't gotten much money from the church after all these years of robbing, and now they are offering to give it away.

If an ancient dragon doesn’t use its brain, it will remain an ancient dragon all its life.

The bishop and the pastor who recognized each other awkwardly in the surveillance video found the front desk after a brief exchange.

What do you mean? I regret what I did just now and want to return the money.

no way!

You two are not minors, and even if you are, there is no refund from Drogo.

However, to Long's surprise, not long after the two found the front desk, Aisha came to the monitoring room.

"Drogo, the bishop of the church wants to meet you. He wants to cooperate on a gaming project."
