So I'm a sheep.

Regardless of the story's quality, given its current popularity, publishers will definitely be lining up at its doorstep as soon as the news is released.

Everyone quickly realized this and couldn't help but smile.

"The funding shortage has been alleviated, so everyone should take it one step at a time."

The girl encouraged them, "We're fighting a long-term battle. Only six months have passed, there's no need to rush."

"Relax your mindset and stay firm in your beliefs."

"We will surely win!"

Volume 1: Chapter 549 Potential Allies

Sasa's comic caused a great sensation as soon as it was published. After all, the comic was full of 'gimmicks', and it would be strange if people weren't interested.

After receiving a large sum of copyright fees, and after ensuring everyone's basic needs were met, the girls started providing each of them with a fixed monthly salary.

Now everyone felt relieved. The monthly salary wasn't much, but it was paid regularly over a long period of time, which gave them a sense of security.

Sasa then communicated with the publisher, hoping that she could produce and sell some comic book merchandise and hold regular promotional events.

The publisher readily agreed, without even mentioning profit sharing.

This goes against the nature of a businessman, but upon closer examination, it makes sense.

Their deal with Sasa wasn't a one-off transaction; the comic only had one volume published, and they only acquired the rights to that first volume.

There is plenty of room for future cooperation, so there's no need to offend important partners for some petty gains.

Secondly...

Although the girl had no power or influence, she was surrounded by a group of religious fighters.

This is rather frightening. In business, harmony is paramount, so it's best not to provoke these dangerous individuals.

The group, who had been cooped up in the temporary base, finally had something to do. In their view, this was far more than just making merchandise and selling it for profit.

"Through comics, merchandise, and regularly held promotional activities, we can subtly eliminate people's hostility towards us."

"Because of the unknown, many people on the internet seem to equate us with extremists."

"We have to do something, we have to change everyone's impression!"

Sasha's original intention was to arrange some things for everyone to do. The church's review process was uncertain and it wouldn't be long before everyone was idle all day.

Unexpectedly, these people acted with a sense of mission and a sense of sacredness!

"Hey, watch out!"

Paul, who was carrying a large pile of cardboard boxes, was unable to dodge in time and was tragically knocked down by a woman riding a bicycle.

"I'm so sorry, I was riding too fast just now. Are you alright?"

Paul rubbed his knees as he stood up. He gave the impetuous woman a reproachful look, but didn't say anything harsh.

"Yeah, I just tripped and fell, it's nothing serious."

"Be careful around ladies in the future, this is very dangerous."

The woman quickly parked her car and walked over to Paul. She said nervously, "My name is Millie, and I live nearby. Sir, shall I take you to the hospital?"

"No need, I have important things to do."

"Miss Millie, could you please pick up the box on the ground for me? By the way, my name is Paul."

This is no problem at all. Some of the boxes were damaged when they fell on the ground, and Millie accidentally saw what was inside when she picked them up.

"A bookmark? And the cartoon character on it looks so familiar. Ah, it's the angel from that comic book!"

Have you read that comic book too?

Paul felt a surge of warmth and said with a smile, "These are comic book merchandise items. We're having a big promotional event today, so feel free to come and take a look if you're interested."

"Of course!"

Millie seemed very interested, so she simply grabbed the cardboard box and walked away with Paul.

Which company are you from?

"Oh, Protestantism? Sorry, never heard of it."

"So you haven't passed religious censorship yet. Could you please tell us about your doctrines?"

"Hey, I'm not allowed to proselytize now, can't I even reveal a little bit?"

Millie chattered incessantly the whole way, and it was only thanks to Paul's professionalism that he was able to maintain a smile and patiently respond throughout.

............................................

"Headquarters, Headquarters, this is Jasmine. I have successfully made contact with the target today."

"Has the target person engaged in any illegal activities?"

There was no illegal activity.

"Are they really promoting comics, or taking the opportunity to proselytize?"

"It was just comic book promotion and some merchandise sales; there was no suspicious proselytizing activity."

"..."

"Jasmine, after more than a year of observation, do you think they respect federal law?"

"Without a doubt, they are all law-abiding citizens."

After a long silence, another familiar voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Jasmine, just share your personal feelings."

"Through this contact, do you feel that the target's beliefs have wavered?"

"What I mean is, is he still completely devoted to that guy? Has Paul been won over by us... Ha, I shouldn't be asking you these questions now. Never mind, just continue contacting him as planned."

"..."

"I think their confidence has not wavered."

Jasmine said in a deep voice, "Although we only met once, how should I put it, I felt a wonderful atmosphere."

"What kind of atmosphere? Try your best to describe it!"

“Sacred and solemn, and somewhat frightening.”

More than a year of silence did not change their resolve, and more than a year of repression did not turn them into thugs.

They abide by the law, yet they fight in their own way.

The old smoker sighed deeply. For more than a year, he had suppressed all internal opposition and tested the group time and time again.

Their performance was impeccable, and now they had no excuses left.

"Jasmine, after the Protestant Church is established, you should contact them further as a 'believer'."

"I will give you some resources; use them wisely."

"Yes!"

.......................................

"Holy One, the review is complete! We are now a legitimate church!"

Sasha was stunned for a moment, then a joyful smile appeared on her face.

"Quickly spread the word! Everyone can finally unleash their full potential!"

Is the test over?

Phew, it's been a year and a half already. I thought it would be about six months.

It seems there are powerful figures who are quite unhappy with me.

'But it's okay.'

No matter how strong they were, they've compromised now, haven't they?

Some people are dissatisfied with themselves, while others are full of expectations for themselves.

There are plenty of people in the country's upper echelons who crave 'change,' and they are all potential allies.

Ultimately, it's because the Demon King's secret doctrines are simply incompatible with societal development.

'This sounds too much like a cult. The Demon King must have given the secret church some kind of cheat code; otherwise, how could it have achieved its current influence? It would have been eliminated by society long ago!'

Volume 1: Chapter 550 Blooming Everywhere

On the day the Protestant church was founded, reporters flocked to the scene.

Sasha gave them a warm welcome; the Protestant Church desperately needed to make a name for itself, and the media was exactly what she needed to do.

Therefore, even when asked some inappropriate questions, the girl did not get angry.

"Miss Saya, do you miss your family? Is there anything you would like to say to Ms. Susan?"

"Yes, I hope she can take good care of herself."

"What position do you hold in Protestantism, Pope or...?"

I do not hold any position.

In an instant, countless camera shutters clicked.

"Miss Saya, what considerations led you to make this decision?"

"Is this alright? Aren't you worried about losing control of the church in the future?"

Smile, smile.
