MC's career as foreign lord

It turned out to be someone from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth. No wonder they came with the Great Elder. Thinking about it, it seems that I provoked this matter.

Zhou Ren suddenly understood. He originally thought it was some poor unlucky guy who ran into the Great Elder, exchanged a few words, and was then chased and killed by a group of beastmen.

Now it seems it was his fault? Zhou Ren smiled and stepped forward. Mosa behind him remained silent, like a silent bodyguard.

"Hello, Archbishop Sider! I am Zhou Ren, the lord of this territory!" He extended his hand.

"I am the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, but after hearing your ideas, I would rather you be the protagonist!" Sider said, shaking Zhou Ren's hand, his face radiating light.

"Your theory is not only enough for you to become an archbishop in the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, you can even be directly elected as the next Pope. Everyone, including the current Pope, will unconditionally support you!"

The fervor on this fanatical believer's face was genuine, allowing Zhou Ren to see the relationship between gods and believers in this world compared to others.

If the gods and believers in those worlds were more like a treaty relationship, then this world was more like a true religious relationship.

They truly worshipped their god as a god, and not just as a tool for profit. There was light in their eyes…!

This meant that the god in their hearts was a true deity, which was also related to the essence of the world, because after the death of every believer.

Unless they had truly reached the level of a top legend and could transform into a lich or some other undead creature.

Otherwise, their final destination was still the kingdom of the gods they believed in, so their faith also meant their future belonging.

This was completely different from those other worlds, where false gods who never manifested divine beings or miracles existed.

True gods were almost watching everything from above, how could it not be shocking?

Now it was understandable why they were so willing, even willing to use the position of Pope of the entire church as the price, to invite Zhou Ren over.

The words that O'Halloran brought back that day not only shocked the high-level members of the elves, but also shocked the high-level members of the Church of Wealth, whose main purpose was money.

So this time he came not only to negotiate with the elves, but also with great courage and immense wealth, to invite Zhou Ren back to the best position he should be in.

"We have even asked the goddess for instructions. If you are willing to go, she will use divine power to baptize you, help you become a legend, and choose a destiny specifically for you!"

This price was undoubtedly high, no less than that of the elves, but Zhou Ren was already immune. Specifically, three races had already increased their investment in him.

"Don't get excited, Archbishop Sider!" O'Halloran was unhappy. I brought you here to negotiate, not to use all your strength to poach people from me!

Do you really think our elves are good-tempered and won't fight back?

He immediately wanted to raise the staff in his hand and knock on the archbishop's forehead, but fortunately, the young man in front of him was still firm-willed, looking at the archbishop and just calmly shaking his head and waving his hand.

"You'd better not say this kind of thing in front of Great Elder O'Halloran, or he might not be able to help but take you away!"

He joked with a smile, causing several people around him to laugh, and then invited them into the territory, "In that case, there's no need for us to stand here, let's go in!"

When entertaining guests, it's customary to offer them tea. Zhou Ren had also prepared teacups this time and placed them in the pavilion. Mosa steadily poured hot water into each cup next to him.

The pavilion faced the pond. Although it was still very lonely, whether it was the bamboo, water lilies, or the sugar cane growing by the water, they all looked exceptionally interesting and no longer monotonous.

These things and the pavilion gathered together, which can be regarded as complementing each other. The three people sat in front of the pavilion like this, and in the distance, they could see a huge pool slowly taking shape.

What they discussed was naturally what both the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and the Elves were very concerned about, which was the issue of currency revolution that he had mentioned before.

Previously, Zhou Ren had only said a simple inference. He did not make it clear how this matter should be operated, how to obtain great benefits from it, and how to truly promote it to the entire continent. All of this required a very complete monetary policy to support it.

He even retained his own operating power and greater appeal, and only gave a little hint.

"Her Majesty the Queen has already given me the power to act expediently. As long as you have enough, it's not impossible to temporarily hand over the entire Elven race to you!"

Although O'Halloran said it so righteously, this person could still see insincerity in his expression. After all, it was the entire Elven race. He could say that, but if he really wanted to hand it over, he wouldn't be so happy.

"Before we talk about this, I want to ask you about the definition of currency!" Zhou Ren looked at Sider, the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, hoping that he could give him some more profound advice.

After all, the elves' concept of wealth was really shocking to him. This group of people actually used the trees in their forest to make currency without any defensive properties. What they relied on was the ban on collecting pine tree fruits in the forest, and thus obtained power.

That also meant that as long as someone could collect the fruits of that pine tree, they could obtain very complete currency materials. If he really wanted to take a trade war against the elves, he wouldn't even need to resort to too harsh measures.

Just using a large number of counterfeit currency inflows could completely collapse the entire elven economy.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the elves only used pine coins in their high-level circulation, while in the folk, they still used the standard gold coins issued by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.

The significance of this kind of thing is actually self-evident.

This meant that the elves did not have their own common currency system, which also meant economic chaos and the underdevelopment of their own financial system. It could be seen that most of their markets were humans or other races.

After hearing Zhou Ren's question, Sider seemed to have thought for a while, and after having a conclusion, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Currency is a very magical thing. They represent a general equivalent in the hearts of some people, but in our eyes, it is not just that!"

"Currency represents a resource. Controlling currency means controlling the foundation of a country and a nation. In most areas, wealth often means everything!"

Zhou Ren nodded approvingly, "This is one of the essences we should understand. We shouldn't listen to what others say currency is, but rather what we ourselves think currency should be!"

He spread his hands, revealing his grand ambition, "What I think currency is, it should be! It is a universal equivalent, something everyone needs for transactions, something valuable enough even if it's not used for transactions!"

"It should be the driving force, the promoter of the world, the root of all transactions!"

"What I want to control is not the power of currency transactions, but the pricing power of currency and goods! That's what's truly important!" Zhou Ren said, "Now that you have this consensus, I can give you the thing!"

At this moment, he took out a gold coin, which looked very simple, but was filled with a special aura of inspiration.

"Elder O'Halykhorn should have experienced this already, so let our new friend experience it, how about it?" Zhou Ren said, handing the gold coin to the Archbishop, "Experience the unparalleled special advantages I'm talking about, how about it?"

After taking the gold coin in his hand, the Archbishop couldn't even speak to him. He held the thing with some intoxication, "On this ordinary gold coin, I feel the aura of a monetary revolution. Perhaps this is everything I have been desperately pursuing!"

He has an unremarkable face, but at this moment, no one dares to underestimate him. He gently held the gold coin, feeling the weight and energy contained within.

"What an intoxicating power, somewhat similar to the power of a god, but yet different!" he said, "Using this amount of interest to guarantee the ultimate value of the currency? What an amazing idea!"

"The power contained in this coin can repair the body, enhance energy, and even improve my understanding of this world!"

He opened his eyes with some emotion, only to see Zhou Ren raising his eyebrows at O'Halykhorn to the side.

The meaning between his eyebrows was actually very obvious, "Look at what the cultured person said, and then think about how you spoke before?"

O'Halykhorn didn't think there was anything wrong, but supplemented the loopholes in the other party's words, "It's not only useful for legends, but it actually has a greater effect on ordinary people!"

"That's right, even if I use the church's money to exchange for this thing, I'm willing. I'm willing to spend at least 10,000 gold coins to exchange for this thing, even if it may only have this little effect!" Sid said, "This does not include the value of the gold coin itself!"

"You are such a smart ghost!" Zhou Ren gave him a thumbs up, "This is compressed from dozens of kilograms of metal, that is, dozens of kilograms of gold, equivalent to 4,000 gold coins of the same size!"

"The first part of what I envision is for you to recognize the value of my currency and then promote it to the entire continent!"

"This is the first step of our plan, and also the most important step! That is the currency circulation plan!"

"The church's currency can already circulate, so what's the point?" O'Halykhorn asked. He knew that in front of these two professionals, he was equivalent to a person without any knowledge, but this did not prevent him from asking questions.

As an elf, the most recent personal experience of this matter, if he doesn't ask himself, then the entire race will really be in the hands of others.

"What I mean by circulation is not like the superficial circulation now. They only regard the Wealth Goddess Church's gold coins as a tool for pricing goods!"

Zhou Ren said, "This is very unreasonable. Finance should not only have this little effect!" His eyes were actually very presumptuous! We want to let money enter every aspect of their lives and make them money animals!

"I want them to know the meaning of money, at least the meaning of being able to leverage the country!"

"This requires you to have a sufficient amount of currency, to have the high-level officials recognize the gold coins, and to announce to them that your gold coins can only be exchanged through the lower-level coins!"

Sid said, his eyes gradually lit up. The reason why the influence of the Wealth Goddess Church has not been able to continue to extend is also because many races actually follow their race's exchange method, rather than the Wealth Goddess Church's money.

"As long as you spread enough gold coins and enough people use them, everyone will become the most loyal supporters of money! And this is enough most of the time!"

Zhou Ren looked at him, showed a mysterious smile, and asked the last question, "If all races are using your gold coins, will the Wealth Goddess still be like this now?"

"Great Divine Power! With the help of this power, the goddess will definitely become a Great Divine Power!" His face was not only fanatical, but also surging!

"The Wealth Goddess Church will become a truly powerful divine church, instead of the insignificant church that others say is useless! The goddess will become a powerful divine power, and the wealth divine system will also be established at this time!"

Zhou Ren looked at them with a smile, "Actually, this is what I said, the opportunity for you, an opportunity to become a god!"

After the end of the God's Doom, known as the Year of Turmoil, the entire continent completely turned into a pool of stagnant water. Under this pool of stagnant water, everything lost its original vitality.

Everyone knows that the opportunities to become gods have been divided up. The gods of the astral world do not want a new powerful god to appear, so they rarely go to the lower realms, just to prevent others from having special opportunities.

In this environment, most racial legends have become the end. Perhaps only after death and going to the kingdom of God will there be a chance to receive the grace of the gods and become a demigod.

But demigods are not particularly powerful. Some powerful liches can even defeat demigods, so most races can only start endless involution and start their own battles.

And now, a brand new path is revealed in front of them, who can not be excited?

If such an opportunity is exposed, what appears may not be the cooperation of other races, but a world-class terrifying war!

An opportunity to become a god that has reappeared after tens of thousands of years, who would let it go?

"Don't say so much, we haven't even started our first step yet!" Zhou Ren said, "The first step to becoming a god, spread money!"
