Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 97 Overcoming Difficulties with Miss Toto

The Papal States, the city of San Andino, the hometown of the Bishop of the City of the Twin Towers.

It is also the city with the most supporters of the bishop's faction.

The rows of white houses covered with red tiles stretch across the hillside like rows of mushrooms.

This is not a very large city, and its main industry is hand-woven textiles.

When the entire traditional textile industry was impacted by steam-powered textile machines, this was one region where the transition to hand-made customization was relatively smooth.

The second is the brewing industry.

The wine produced here is always in short supply. It is said that the best wine is offered to the goddess, and the second-best wine is sold.

Every day ships left loaded with oak barrels, leaving behind the much-loved gold, silver and copper coins.

All the countries on the mainland use similar monetary systems, but the formats are slightly different.

Pan believers do not have such strict rules to follow, so drinking and brewing wine are natural and reasonable for them.

However, it was the priests in the monastery who could make the best "fermented wheat juice" and "fermented grape juice".

Overall, San Andino is a relatively wealthy city.

There’s no money like the Twin Towers City, but no one needs to share a house in a remote suburb and spend several hours commuting every day.

There was no need to squeeze into a horse-drawn cart to go to work, and sometimes I could even fall asleep while standing.

When people have spare money and some free time, they will think about entertainment.

However, in the Papal States, ordinary people have never had much access to entertainment.

Until the bishop who traveled to the Twin Towers City brought the products of the Drogo Group.

Toy comics immediately became popular, and mahjong was particularly popular among people aged 18 to 80.

You can blame your loss on bad luck, making mahjong much less frustrating than traditional chess games.

It also has more stamina.

Jiulian Baodeng was waiting for the right hand but someone beat him to it and he would wake up from sleep for several days because of this.

The million-word novel, which had been unsaleable in other cities, also found an audience here.

Perhaps because believers need to read scriptures, the literacy rate in the Papal States is significantly higher than in other countries.

The most popular product among all is definitely games.

Those who can cast spells can activate the red rune and directly open the door to a new world.

Those who don't have a talent for magic can only wait and play on the few game consoles.

All the gaming machines in the city belong to the church. To be fair, several gaming machines are set up in each block based on the number of residents.

The chance to play the game is determined by lottery.

If you don’t get it, I’m sorry, you are not devout enough to the Goddess, because the Goddess will let good luck favor Her most devout believers.

Residents had no choice but to use money to solve the problem of luck, and a second-hand market for game tickets quickly emerged.

At one point, the small pieces of paper were sold at very high prices.

There are always rumors that the trading market is secretly controlled by the church, but some people refute this because the people who were drawn did not go to receive the lottery with their faces covered.

The prices of different game tickets vary greatly.

For example, in the game called "Holy Mountain Journey", twenty tickets are required to exchange for one Auto Chess game.

Still hard to get.

Everyone thought that the game was named after the Holy Mountain, which was an insult to the holy place, and the Inquisition should punish the author.

However, today, the bustling game voucher trading market was deserted, and everyone's attention was attracted by another thing.

Big news, a cargo ship loaded with magic viewers is about to arrive at the port.

There will be free screenings of The Magic Vision tonight at 7pm at various community churches.

Live stream Pastor Andre's games.

The whole city was in an uproar, and everyone was asking, who is Andre?

Someone claimed it immediately.

"Isn't that the child of someone's family, the little someone? I used to hold him in my arms. Now he has become successful and can even be on the Demon Vision..."

Of course, this kind of relationship-building behavior doesn't always work.

"I know. He's the designer of Journey to the Holy Mountain. When I finished the game, I saw that he was the first one on the production credits list!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Those who were boasting about Andre's glorious deeds immediately changed their tune.

Just now, it was said that Andre had loved reading scriptures since he was a child, and he was the one who taught him the parts he didn’t understand.

Now we are not that familiar with each other. If I have to ask him questions, he won’t teach me even if I try.

Others didn't care about this kind of behavior of adding drama to themselves. Instead, they were more surprised that someone actually completed that unfortunate game. How stupid that was.

Those who passed the customs forced themselves to smile and enjoyed the brief amazement of the crowd.

In fact, my heart is bleeding.

When the "Sacred Mountain Journey" game machine was first delivered, he was sure that it would be popular in the Papal States with this name, so he stockpiled a large number of game tickets at the price of 20 copper coins each, but now he can't even sell one for 1 copper coin.

I could only play by myself, and it was hard to find teammates. I gave others free coupons to team up with myself. In the end, I finished all twelve parts, and still had a few hundred coupons left.

Although no one was interested in Pastor Andre's works, they still wanted to see the magic vision.

At seven o'clock in the evening, every community church was full of people.

There were a lot of people in the large church because they were given a 55-inch high-end Magic TV.

There were also people squatting in the aisle, looking up at the screen at the front of the church.

When the clock struck seven, the magic screen lit up on time.

The screen appeared, the main part of which was an illusion generated on the game console. There was a priest in the frame on the lower left corner, and a half-elf in the frame on the lower right corner. It seemed that she was the one controlling the game.

There are two more sets of numbers at the top.

One is a heart-shaped pattern, and the number behind it fluctuates between 60 and 70.

The other is a gold coin pattern with 0 displayed behind it.

The audience looked at the screen and talked a lot.

"Wow, are they locked in that box? This is scary, what kind of evil magic is this?"

"How is that possible? There are so many magic cameras, and two people are locked in each one. They can't be released."

"Soul-stealing, it must be soul-stealing!"

The pastor of the church signaled for everyone to be quiet, and a voice came from the magic camera.

"Twin Towers Magic TV Station, Twin Towers Magic TV Station, now we are broadcasting to you, Overcoming Difficulties with Miss Toto. I am Andre, the commentator of this live broadcast, and on the other side is the familiar Miss Toto.

Pastor Andrew took on the responsibility of hosting the introduction.

"The live broadcast is what you are seeing in front of the Magic Viewer. It is happening right now in the Twin Towers City. You can match up at any time and play games with Miss Toto.

"Let me introduce the rules of this live broadcast. You will play the game with Miss Toto. After you pass each level, both of you will receive a gold coin as a reward. The game ends when you return to the starting point.

"In addition, every time Miss Toto's heart rate exceeds 100, she slaps the game console, or uses obscene words, one gold coin will be deducted from her as a personal punishment. Both numbers are displayed at the top of the screen."

The rules are very simple and everyone understands them.

"Is this really happening in Twin Towers City? It's so far away from us." Someone said doubtfully.

"Has any of you bought this game? Start the rune matching and give it a try."

"Who would buy that game? They have so much free time."

"Aren't there gold coins here?"

"It's not that easy. I used the coupon to play for two hours and went back to the starting point sixteen times. You must be crazy to play this game."

"Play with Toto! She's the first in every game except Auto Chess."

"Yeah, I know, but this game has to be played by two people."

Amid the discussions, the first matchmaker has connected and the game has officially begun.

Toto expertly led her matchmaker through the simple first two levels, grabbing the cliff at the starting point of the third level. She was controlling a character with arms but no legs.

"Follow my instructions. Swing to the left first, then speed up to the right, step on the platform over there, press one second to jump, and get on top of me."

The Matchers lived up to expectations.

The charged jump was too short, and he hit the edge of the cliff and fell all the way down. Inertia also dragged Toto away. What a real physics system! The two returned to the starting point.

"The game is over, and the prize is two gold coins." Pastor Andre's voice sounded.

"Your uncle!"

After all, Toto was born a thief and it is hard to change his nature.

"Indecent, deduct 1 gold coin."

"No, does your uncle count as one too?"

"Indecent, deduct another gold coin."

Toto was furious.

"If the heart rate exceeds 100, deduct 1 gold coin."

Achievements pop up on the game screen at the appropriate time.

Welcome home, hehe.

The accompanying picture shows the cheeky Huang Qiuqiu smiling.

Toto couldn't hold it together for a moment.
