A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 114 The more dangerous, the better for expansion

In Binhai City, Su Xiaoyan reclined on the sofa, delighted that her beloved son, Chu Zihang, was preparing afternoon tea for her: "Aren't you staying a few more days?"

"No, thank you." Chu Zihang's suitcase was still standing next to him.

He rushed back after the Three Gorges operation, using the excuse of returning to his hometown for research, and stayed at home for a morning, taking the opportunity to show his face in front of the surveillance cameras in Binhai City.

Then I prepared to return to Kassel College to continue my studies.

"Okay, okay." Lucky women always get taken care of. Su Xiaoyan is just that lucky. She has a loving husband and a doting son. She doesn't have to worry about anything and is like a girl who never grows up.

Even though she is already a mother, and her son is about to return to school across the ocean, she won't even say "be careful" or "bring more clothes".

"Remember to come back early, okay? Your warmed milk is the best." As she said this, Su Xiaoyan gave her son a thumbs up.

It's quite absurd that Su Xiaoyan, whose hobby is shopping for handbags, is in excellent physical condition. Nearly forty years old, she has no illnesses and is extremely healthy, except for her tendency to suffer from insomnia and sleep poorly.

So every night before bed, my wife has to drink a bottle of hot milk. We hired a housekeeper named Aunt Tong who would heat up the milk for her every night.

But over the years, what Su Xiaoyan is most satisfied with is the milk her son Chu Zihang warms up. So before her son left home, she sweetly begged Chu Zihang to come back as soon as possible.

Chu Zihang had no choice but to nod silently, recalling the Three Gorges Project.

After obtaining the brass can, they retreated safely and without incident. Although it is unknown why Mr. Error arranged for Ms. Moon to deliver the brass can, there must have been a reason.

Perhaps we can ask about it at tomorrow's gathering.

Of course, this team building activity was very beneficial to Chu Zihang. When he was in Kassel, the vice principal's Word of Power and Discipline blocked all the Word of Power in the school.

Chu Zihang couldn't very well play the role of an arsonist; setting fires against the rules would be too easy to expose.

This team-building trip was really fun, including setting off a huge fireball that burned half of the Moniach.

After successfully digesting a portion of the potion, Chu Zihang understood even more clearly how to play the role of the arsonist.

Once you get back, immediately apply for tasks from the execution department, do as many tasks as possible and start more fires, so you can get promoted as soon as possible!

Susie is slightly better off than Chu Zihang in terms of family background. Her parents dote on their daughter when she comes home and cook a table full of delicious food.

Susie ate until her mouth was greasy before going back to her room to pack her luggage, preparing to fly back to school that evening.

Unfortunately, Susie barely digested the monster potion during this team-building activity, and can only hope to continue playing the weirdo in the academy environment after returning to Kassel.

Fingel had no reason to stay there, so he returned to Chicago on the day the operation ended and went back to room 303, Zone 1 of the student dormitory in Kassel that night.

When I pushed open the door, I saw Lu Mingfei, who was thin and wearing only underwear, drying his hair with a towel while looking for a hairdryer.

The moment he heard the noise, Lu Mingfei instinctively wrapped his arms around himself like a little rabbit, trying to hide his face: "Who... Phew, senior brother, you scared me to death."

Fingel's face twitched uncontrollably, and he forced a natural smile despite the fatigue accumulated from the more than ten-hour flight: "I'm back and there's already a junior giving me a treat!"

"Things are getting better and better. By the way, are you hungry? We can order some late-night snacks from the cafeteria. I recommend the German pork knuckle."

"Slurp." Lu Mingfei thought that since everyone was a boy, he wasn't so wary, and even started to fantasize about the taste of the pork knuckle: "Okay, okay."

"By the way, my scholarship has been issued, I'm treating everyone tonight."

Lu Mingfei remembered all the favors he had received, since he had never received many favors growing up, so he naturally remembered them vividly.

Although it was just a Coke and half a pizza that Fingel bought for him while he was waiting for the train to start school, Lu Mingfei would never forget it.

“Okay!” Fingel didn’t refuse, stretched and walked towards the bathroom: “I’ll take a hot shower first.”

She plunged into the bathroom, took off her clothes, and stood under the showerhead, where Finger began to summarize what she had learned from the trip.

The biggest gain was that the Sequence 8 reasoning student fully digested the potion.

After months of diligent reading, this effort finally brought wonderful rewards. Fingel, who had been spending all his time in the library, still remembered the events of Baidi City as described in the ancient books, thanks to his memory enhanced by the magic potion.

Legend has it that it was a city entirely of bronze, forged by Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, a rare miracle in both ancient and modern times.

After learning from Mr. Error that the brass can was salvaged from White Emperor City by Kassel,...

Fingel naturally deduced the truth about the brass can—the Dragon King's bone urn.

Inside, a dragon king sleeps!
The student had almost finished digesting the potion, and with the help of the Dragon King's status, he deduced the truth, making the digestion of the remaining potion a natural next step. Tomorrow, I'll go to the alchemy classroom in the morning to get the materials, complete my advancement, and attend the gathering in the afternoon.

The materials for advancing to Sequence 7 were all kept in the private alchemy room specially prepared for him by the vice principal, which was also the core reason why Fingel did not linger and quickly returned to school.

Aso Makoto returned to Tokyo. This group mission made her truly realize her shortcomings, namely a severe lack of combat experience.

So after returning, he gathered his fellow believers and started causing trouble for the Ghost Clan again.

This time, Aso didn't sit in the rear commanding; instead, he took the lead, relying on his vampire's extraordinary self-healing ability.

Even though he was afraid of pain and getting hurt, when he thought about the trouble he suffered at Professor Mans's hands, Aso Shin held back his anger and forcibly suppressed his weak thoughts of 'fear of pain'.

In the blood and steel of real battles, relying on his vampire physique, he is constantly injured and healed, his character becomes more and more resolute, and his combat experience is rapidly accumulating.

Quickly adapting to the rhythm of actual combat, Makoto Aso is no longer afraid of bullets whizzing past his eyes, nor is he distracted by sudden pain, causing delays of a fraction of a second.

Every day, I can see my own progress.

On the contrary, Xu Lie's clone, who should have been on vacation and enjoying his freedom after completing this mission, did not leave the Three Gorges.

They continued working overtime like oxen and horses, using their thieving abilities to acquire large sums of money. After obtaining approval to use their abilities, they began recruiting workers and building temples everywhere.

The "Old Days" temple has a strange name, but the locals don't care if it's strange or not; they just give out eggs.

The old temple hadn't even been built yet, but it was located near the construction site. Every Monday, eggs were distributed, attracting a large number of locals.

Fortunately, the Sumitomo Group has already developed artificial intelligence, which can block information about old temples on the internet so that Norma and Princess Kaguya cannot detect it.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to expand the church's influence in a big way.

Seeing the large crowd of elderly people queuing up, Old Tang looked at Huang Tiekou and Xu Lie's clone with considerable concern: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang."

"Do you think this approach will work?"

Old Tang genuinely doesn't believe that this kind of approach can attract loyal followers. Anyone with a brain knows that the elderly folks are only after the free eggs, and it has nothing to do with their faith.

When you stop giving out eggs, who will remember your old religion?

Huang Tiekou was not flustered at all. After all, it was his own money, so if he lost it, he lost it. He even felt happy that he was losing more.

Xu Lie's clone was more focused on the important matter at hand: "Isn't that what you're here for?"

"Me?" Old Tang immediately misunderstood, thinking that Brother Huang needed him to be a charlatan to deceive believers, and shook his head repeatedly: "I can't, I really can't, I don't know that kind of religious talk."

“You don’t need to know how.” Xu Lie gazed at the surging river in the distance, as if looking at some useful tool: “Just let Samson show himself occasionally, isn’t that enough?”

"When faced with dangers beyond reality, people often place their hopes on gods and Buddhas to save them and lead them to safety."

"The more dangerous the situation, the easier it is for the church to expand."

Old Tang finally understood Xu Lie's plan, and his expression was extremely strange. "So this is how you develop religion?"
Are the church leadership so open-minded?

Is this kind of shortcut and crooked approach allowed?

"Brother Huang, the way you're doing this makes you look like a villain in an American movie."

Xu Lie didn't care about Lao Tang's complaints. Anyway, it was the main body that ordered the expansion of the church's influence: "One day, they will know who the villain is."

Old Tang still owed the Huang brothers two huge favors, so there was no way he could refuse: "Alright, I'll go and tell Samson."

After watching Old Tang leave, Xu Lie took out two more earrings and examined them closely.

Huang Tiekou glanced over and teased, "Oh, isn't this Jiu De Mai's earring? You still have it?"

Although Huang Tiekou was not present when Xu Lie's clone stole the earring from Jiu Demai, the clones could communicate with each other through their souls if they were not far apart.

Huang Tiekou recognized the earrings.

The clone glared at Huang Tiekou with annoyance: "The main body plans to reward the members who participated in this team building activity."

"We need to refine a batch of alchemical tools. As a bonus, this is the basic sample."
