Their commission was suspicious.

Just kidding, a mere A-level talent... no, I know you have a hidden identity as an S-level talent, but even if you are an S-level talent, it's not like I haven't fought one before.

Who isn't an S-level talent?

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. We're all family here. I introduced you so you could look out for each other, not so you could fight it out and decide who takes whose surname," Chen Luo sighed.

Chen Luo had anticipated that the identity of the Herald of Knowledge as a demon raised by Chen Luo would confuse some unsuspecting people. Chen Luo had considered this and had a solution in mind, but he had no way of resolving the issue of the two fighting.

"Luo Luo, let me tell you, the Mind-Nourishing Demon is really dangerous," Bai Zhi whispered to Chen Luo as she leaned closer.

"Don't worry, I've been nurturing this inner demon for over a month. She eats my food, drinks my drinks, and sleeps in my bed every day. I'm confident I can control her," Chen Luo said confidently.

"I'm so envious..."

"what?"

"Ahem, anyway, it's good that you're confident, but remember to be cautious. You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them."

"Hmph." Listening to Bai Zhi lecturing Chen Luo, Shi Zhi Lü Zhe snorted disdainfully.

Although Bai Zhi's intentions were certainly good, the idea of ​​nurturing a demonic mind was indeed quite dangerous.

But only family members know their own affairs. Would someone who understands the law harm Chen Luo?

Putting aside whether the Lawbringer of Knowledge would have such rebellious thoughts, even if the Lawbringer of Knowledge wanted to harm them, they couldn't.

"The reason I called Xiaoshi out this time is to let everyone get to know her so that you won't be too surprised when you suddenly discover her existence in the future. I have already made the worst-case scenario plan for Xiaoshi's problem, so you don't need to worry about that."

“I’ve been raising her for over a month, ever since I became a gifted individual. I know her inside and out, so there’s no need to worry about her safety.”

With Chen Luo's repeated assurances and explanations, as well as the guarantee that Yun Xia, an S-rank talent, would be the one to commission the task, everyone gradually felt reassured about the Herrscher of Knowledge, this inner demon.

Indeed, Chen Luo has been raising this inner demon for over a month now, ever since she was born. She's practically a pet now, so the danger she poses is definitely not that high anymore.

Most importantly, this inner demon looks really simple-minded and poses absolutely no danger.

Although the Herald of Knowledge was not entirely Chen Luo's inner demon in the context of the identity mission he completed, the situation was actually more complicated than it is now.

But no one stipulates that Chen Luo must completely tell others about his identity as the Herrscher of Knowledge. As long as his identity as the Herrscher of Knowledge is verifiable in this world, isn't that enough?

Ye Yunshang and the others aren't checking household registrations, why do they need to go into such detail?

"But then again, if you've raised a demon in your heart, wouldn't I, as your assistant, become dispensable?" Bai Zhi suddenly realized an extremely important problem.

This inner demon looks simple-minded, but it does seem to be quite powerful in combat.

Bai Zhi felt that if she only used the power of an A-level talent, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat this seemingly simple-minded inner demon. So the question was, since Chen Luo had raised an inner demon, and it seemed to be so powerful, wouldn't she, as his assistant, be fired?

Oh my god!

Should I reveal my S-class talent? Otherwise, if I get fired, wouldn't that be terrible?

"That's enough, you keep calling me stupid, you haven't stopped, do you really want to fight?" Just as Bai Zhi was contemplating life, the Herald of Knowledge almost attacked.

"Hey, can you hear my heart?"

"Nonsense, what do you think inner demons do? Isn't mind reading a basic skill of inner demons?"

"Really? Well, you heard it too, I said I was..."

"Hmm? What is it?" The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Bai Zhi with a puzzled expression.

"...You can't read minds at all, can you?" Bai Zhi looked at the Herald of Knowledge with suspicion.

"Ahem, I can read it, but not completely. After all, there's definitely a difference between reading the mind of an ordinary person and reading the mind of a gifted individual. But everyone can see that you've been thinking about Xiao Shihan in your mind, so there's no need to read minds at all." Chen Luo coughed twice to cover for the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"I'm sorry," Bai Zhi apologized directly.

Although this Herald of Knowledge does seem a bit simple-minded, it's not quite right for me to keep thinking that he's simple-minded.

I'm so envious! This inner demon can be nurtured in Luo Luo's sea of ​​consciousness.

Although raising a ghost child is basically the same process, this Herrscher of Knowledge is so beautiful, I always feel like she's a huge threat...

But since she seems so simple-minded, she probably wouldn't try to steal my man.

"I always feel like you're still thinking I'm naive, but I have no proof." The Herald of Knowledge looked at Bai Zhi with suspicion.

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop worrying about whether Xiaoshi is a bit slow or not. Xiaoshi is really clever, I can vouch for it. So, can we go shopping now?" Chen Luo cut off the discussion on this matter.

"In short, Xiaoshi is my inner demon, but she can be trusted. You must believe me."

Persuasion was successful.

Persuasion is a really good skill.

Although we are not currently in an apocalyptic environment, Ye Yunshang and Bai Zhi both have a high level of goodwill towards Chen Luo, so what Chen Luo says is more likely to be believed.

"So...where should we go first? How about the water park?" Bai Zhi asked, raising her hand.

"I don't think so." The Herrscher of Knowledge hates swimsuits!

Because they are easily mistaken for children!

“The inner demon has no right to speak,” Bai Zhi said.

"So what if you have an inner demon? Inner demons are still human." The Herrscher of Knowledge retorted.

"How about we go to Xinghai City's new landmark building?" Yunxia suggested.

"A new landmark building? Does Xinghai City have any landmarks now?" Chen Luo had lived in Xinghai City for so many years, yet he had never been aware of this.

Chen Luo did know that there was indeed a very famous ancient building in Xinghai City in the past. According to research, it had stood there for over a thousand years. However, experts spent five years "protecting" the ancient building and ruined it.

"It's perfectly normal that you don't know about this landmark building that was just built recently, Alo."

"Oh? What landmark? Where is it? What is it?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

"It's a secret for now. You'll find out when we get there. It'll definitely be a big surprise for you," Yun Xia said mysteriously.

……

"So this is the landmark building of Xinghai City you mentioned, a... River God statue?" Chen Luo stared wide-eyed at the statue, which was tens of meters tall.

When was this statue erected in Xinghai City? I didn't know! Nobody notified me!

And who's the one who's crazy, coming here in the scorching summer sun to see my own idol?

"It's newly built, and I heard it was blessed by the river god. The first 100 people to make a wish have a chance to have their wish granted. There are already 90 people who have made wishes. There are ten spots left," Yunxia said.

"Who would say such things to a child..." Chen Luo stopped mid-sentence.

"Great River God, I hope you will bless us so that we can go to the water park today and let me show off my perfect figure."

"..." Sensing a bit of the power of the wish, Chen Luo turned his head to look at Bai Zhi, who was making a wish to "herself" with her eyes closed.

For an angel like you to go and worship the river god suggests you're somewhat ill.

And you actually believe those kinds of things that are just to coax a child?

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"..."

Well, I have to admit this river god statue is really powerful.

Because he really can make a wish.

And there are indeed some suckers willing to help you fulfill your wishes.

Chapter 936 River God Supporters Club?

"Speaking of which, what's the deal with this river god statue?" Chen Luo looked up at the statue that belonged to him.

This world is too crazy; Chen Luo didn't even know when he had acquired a deity.

"Oh, you mean this? You should know that this will be the location of the Abyss Passage, right?" Near the prison, a person was introducing the huge statue to Chen Luo.

"Speaking of which, you still remember me, don't you?"

"Of course I remember. You called me Director, right? I remember it very clearly."

"No, my name is... never mind, you can call me Director if you want, I'm used to it." The director hesitated, then stopped himself.

After acquiring his own shackles, the bureau chief gave himself a rather arrogant, cool, and awesome nickname, but no one ever called him that.

"Alright, Director, stop with your pointless insistence. I think the name Director sounds pretty good. Speaking of which, what was your original nickname again..." Yun Xia scratched her head.

"My original code name was..."

"Sigh, never mind, I can't remember anyway, just call him Director, it's more approachable."

"..." The bureau chief fell into thought.

My awesome, cool, and awesome nickname!

"Where were we? Oh, as everyone knows, this mental hospital is the entrance to the Abyss Passage. To ensure the safety of this entrance and to commemorate the River God's immense contributions to the connection and prosperity of the two realms, we have decided to erect a statue of the River God next to the Abyss Passage," the director said.

"Because of the Heavenly Prison next to it, the development of this Abyss Passage is actually quite limited. Therefore, it is not hard to imagine that when this Abyss Passage reopens, a large number of talented individuals will come here to explore it."

"Therefore, this place will definitely be bustling with people in a few days, which will certainly help in collecting faith. With a large flow of people, perhaps these gifted individuals will have the idea of ​​worshipping the river god statue with some faith, which will increase the faith power of the river god to some extent, and can also be regarded as a way to express our gratitude to the relevant departments."

"But... will it really work? I have serious doubts about that. Most gifted individuals know the truth about the world. Just like you, as an S-class gifted individual, would you believe in a god?" Chen Luo turned to the director and asked.

The relevant departments certainly have good intentions; the differences between people may be greater than the differences between people and dogs.

A dog's intelligence is 40, while the average human intelligence is 100. If a person had an IQ of 160, wouldn't the way that person looks at an average person be...?

Ahem, the faith power that ordinary people can provide is definitely not as good as that that that gifted individuals can provide, which is why the church is so fond of gifted individuals.

Moreover, after recruiting gifted individuals, the church would subject them to a certain degree of religious baptism in an attempt to turn them into believers.

Because gifted individuals truly understand the power of the gods, they can sometimes genuinely and sincerely believe in them.

Well, Xiao Ke'er and Bai Zhi don't count.

Although it would be natural for Bai Zhi, as a gifted angel, to believe in a deity, it is precisely because she is a gifted angel, and as an angel herself, that she knows what an angel should truly be like.

The Angel of Death? Isn't he just a lazy bum who joined the church only for a paycheck? Bai Zhi knew this better than anyone else.

“If it’s the church model, gifted individuals can indeed provide more faith power than ordinary people, but if you just erect a statue here, how much reverence will passing gifted individuals have for the river god? It’s really hard to say,” Chen Luo continued.

"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense. I don't really believe in gods or anything like that, but I do like the River God very much. After all, the River God has indeed brought benefits to the relevant departments and even to the talented people of all of China." The director looked at the huge statue in front of him, his tone somewhat sentimental.

"?!!"

Chen Luo actually felt a little bit of faith power from the bureau chief.

Although the degree is not great, if we compare it to an ordinary person, it is roughly equivalent to a shallow believer.

They are better than casual believers, but not much better, yet they genuinely believe in this deity.

However, since the director is an S-rank talent, the quality of his faith power is higher, and at the same faith level, it is of a higher grade.

Although for Chen Luo, the quality of those who are not fanatical believers is generally average.

However, having the power of faith is better than having none.

It can only be said that the people of China are indeed the people of China; they will believe in gods that are helpful to them to some extent.

Unlike those "heretics" in the West who only believe in their own gods, they are not grateful when other gods help them, and may even go to their own gods to repent.

The power of faith is quite mystical; as long as you believe in a god, you will have the power of faith.

"That's quite a coincidence. I also really like the River God. I think the River God has excellent taste."

"Oh, what makes you say that?" The bureau chief was curious about Chen Luo's words.

"The River God understands what it means to be at peace with the world and is a gifted being who does not use his advantages to rule the land. I like this kind of god."

"What a coincidence, I like it too. Come join the River God fan club!"

"Huh? What is the River God Supporters Association?" Chen Luo was stunned.

What the heck?

River God Fan Club?

As the river god, how come I had no idea that such a thing existed?

"It's just a small organization. The people who join this organization tend to think that the River God is very beneficial to the whole of China, so they think the River God is a good god and therefore support him."
