Chapter 835 - Bank
Chapter 835: Bank
The sexual activities in the Rainbow Valley were so splendid. Details like whether it was a man or a woman who dominated the ‘battlefield’, and whether the male protagonist leaned against the wall or crawled away, and so on were unknown. What was certain was that Ms. Fairy Dragon successfully advanced to the kingdom level. However, the order of this advance was a bit different. Ordinary kingdomized powerhouses first comprehend the law, then build the kingdom, while Ms. Fairy Dragon skipped the first step and directly built the kingdom because of the silver box. Next, she must concentrate on understanding and fully grasping the law power. Otherwise, she would not be able to unleash the true power of the [6 Elements Kingdom]. Therefore, the next step of Ms. Fairy Dragon was still the closed door training.
This trip to the Rainbow Valley could be described as ‘thrilling’. Not only was Zola nearly annihilated by element law, but Chen Rui also nearly lost his life when facing the silver box. Fortunately, in the end, Zola got through the difficulties with the wonder of star conferring. Chen Rui also used Shura’s avatar to understand the rudiment of the construction law. He only needed to further consolidate the foundation and refine the Star Power, then he would be able to successfully breakthrough to the next Pole Star Level.
Zola’s advancement to kingdom made Chen Rui have a correct understanding of the ‘star conferring’ that was originally overlooked. The star position was not only a simple buff, but there might be more unexpected mysteries.
Besides Zola’s ‘True Star Servant’, there were 1 Star General, 1 Star Servant, and 3 Star Apprentices left in the star conferring.
Chen Rui thought about it. The Star Apprentice with the speed buff was given to Isabella, Roman and Athena while the Star Servant with spirit power was given to Dodo; the Star General was given to Paglio.
Although Dodo was not a magic trainer, his will and spirit power were weak points, so the Star Servant’s spirit power buff could make up for some deficiencies. The most important thing was that the slime was already at the level of S++ strength, which was quite close to the kingdom level. With the star position, the risk and difficulty of breaking through to the kingdom level would be greatly reduced; Zola was the best example.
Isabella and Roman were the Belphegor Royal Family with the talent for speed. The [Ligtning Dash] that accelerated movement and attack was exactly what they liked. Athena was the lord of the Dark Moon, and now her strength was about to break through the Demon Emperor. Getting the speed buff of the Demon Emperor level was naturally of great benefit to comprehend the strength of the Demon Emperor level. As for Kia, she was not keen on training in the first place whereas Shea relied on external forces to reach Demon Overlord before. She needed a solid foundation the most now, plus she was bust with the empire affairs, so she didn’t get the star position.
Although Dodo was close to the kingdom level, he was a lazy guy after all. Compared with the slime, Master Poison Dragon, who was also at the S++ level, was more hopeful to advance to the kingdom. Especially after he witnessed Chen Rui’s gorgeous transformation in the alchemy competition and killing the kingdom-level Dracolich Ukleus, Paglio seemed indifferent on the surface, but he was actually quite stimulated. He watched Chen Rui advance step by step, thinking that the human partner was originally a powerless weakling, but now he was far superior to him.
In fact, Paglio had been secretly training hard. He was determined to succeed in kingdomization as soon as possible so that when he participates in the martial battle next year, he could defeat the overbearing Raizen and let the title of Master Poison Dragon be known throughout the Demon Realm.
Chen Rui understood the thoughts of the poison dragon, so he gave the highest Star General to Paglio. Speaking of which, giving it to Paglio is a good way to resolve the conflicts of the harem members who covet the ‘highest’ position.
However, when Madam Aunt suddenly realized it, she said, “It turns out that your favorite is a man”. The little loli really wished it to grow even worse as she asked, “How do 2 men have sex?”, then the little loli added with a resentful expression, “I should have thought of it earlier”. Chen Rui could only hide his face and burst into tears.
The current situation of the Demon Realm had basically stabilized, and the remnants of the Bloodfall were basically wiped out. The 3 empires under the armistice agreement were at peace, and there were increasing trades between them. The Fallen Angel Empire’s college had only announced its establishment, and it had not started the official first phase of enrollment due to the lack of various preparatory work.
Compared with the college, the empire bank was very popular. Although there were magical equipment such as storage items in this world, only a few people had them after all, and the space for storage items was very limited, but coins were things that took up a lot of space. Now they only needed to apply for a magic crystal card, then they could easily get any amount of funds in various cities. This was equivalent to an infinite coin storage item. Since the bank was regulated by the empire, there was no risk of fraud. There was even interest for depositing in the bank. For a time, the ‘business’ of the bank was in extremely high demand. Everyone was proud to own a magic crystal card.
Naturally, the Bloody Empire and the Dark Shadow Empire would not ignore the news of the Fallen Angel Empire. The college was fine, as they could just copy it, but the 2 empires dared not get involved in the bank. Deposit and withdraw money for free; pay interest for nothing? Isn’t this a loss-making business?
According to the armistice agreement, the Fallen Angel Empire had the condition of sharing the ‘new things’ with the Dark Shadow Empire and the Bloody Empire, so the envoy sent by the 2 empires soon brought back the mystery of the bank.
After understanding the bank’s interest difference between deposits and loans, handling fees, card application fees and other principles of making money, the 2 empires established their own empire bank without hesitation. The opening of this wealth opportunity created abundant capital for the empire. Seeing the income and expenditure details and long-term income forecast handed over by the financial minister, even Raizen showed a smile of approval, but unfortunately, Chen Rui was also smiling.
Shura’s mission in the human world was progressing smoothly. In order to compete for the position of the chief bishop, Belia obeyed him. The mysterious cult actually played the role of a righteous envoy, constantly digging up the worms of the Holy Church as well as carrying out bloody punishments and exposing bad deeds.
The Holy Church could cover it up for a while, but it couldn’t cover it up for a long time. The most terrible thing was that those who have been caught were scumbags with real facts. Some of the evil deeds committed were simply outrageous and enraging.
The mysterious cult’s methods were quite clever. They severely cracked down on the perpetrators, but did no harm to the innocent. This had won the trust and support of the public even more. The prestige of the Holy Church had been greatly reduced, and the faith had also dropped sharply. The effect of this method was very significant, making Belia, who had just been promoted to bishop, unexpectedly become the most popular candidate for chief bishop among the 7 bishops in the East District. Unwilling to be outdone, the other bishops competed to imitate, resulting in many churches receiving the punishment of ‘justice’ at the same time.
Including the 2 Holy Empires, some empires also took the opportunity to make a move secretly, further weakening the control of the Holy Church. The Holy Light Mountain was extremely angry at this, but at present, due to the great downfall of people’s support, they could only openly rectify by cleaning up and punishing the church’s corrupted people and lawbreakers while secretly dispatching a large number of people to search for and deal with the mastermind of these events.
The Black Death Follower had always acted in secret, but such a large-scale action would inevitably leave some traces behind. The Light Knights and judges had destroyed several old nests. The Black Death Followers were naturally not kind people, so they had also launched several ambushes and traps; both sides suffered casualties.
The mysterious cult’s actions were naturally not real acts of justice, but just out of their own needs, nonetheless, these bloody cases could have a deterrent effect in a short period of time, and they had indeed dug up a lot of filthy acts in the name of gods. For a time, everyone in the Holy Church was in danger, especially those who had a guilty conscience.
Through Belia’s connection, Shura successfully became the guardian of the bishop. He could clearly see the whole of the first layer of the 3-layer ‘god relief sculpture’ worshiped by the mysterious cult.
No doubt, the gap demon, berserk demon, including some abyss monsters that Chen Rui saw in the memory crystal of the ‘Sky Wheel’ in the alchemy city of Storm Island were all among them, Shura would naturally not give up this good opportunity to steal faith, but for now, his position was not high. He probably had to reach the chief bishop level to be able to see more statues and steal more faith.
Compared with the terrifying amount of faith power brought by the ‘Infinite Warrior OL’, the faith power stolen by Shura could only be regarded as a small gain. However, Shura’s purpose of being a guardian was not as simple as ‘getting whatever benefits regardless of its amount’. Although there were not as many believers in the mysterious cult as the Holy Church, from the perspective of Shura’s current contacts, it was by no means a small number. This did not include believers in the deceptive sense like the Nightmare Wilderness.
The faith of these believers would be 1 of the main energies for the comeback of the abyss. Stealing the abyss’ faith could delay the comeback of the abyss. As long as he goes deep into the core of the mysterious cult step by step and masters the core information of the cult, he could use the Holy Church to uproot the mysterious cult, greatly reducing the chance for the abyss to descend a few years later.
In fact, when Chen Rui designed the ‘Infinite Warrior’ game, he also subconsciously had a precautionary intention. Therefore, the monster’s habits, fighting pattern, intensity and those difficult dungeons in the current game were almost all set to go against the abyss creatures. As long as this game kept developing and passed down, even if the abyss disaster occurred after N years, the Demon Realm had certain experience and ability to deal with it.
The importance of Shura’s activities in the human world was self-evident. Since Shura did not have the [Star Gate] skill, after being recalled by Chen Rui this time, the space gate must be opened in order to send him back to the human world.
Fortunately, 1 million faith crystals were nothing to Chen Rui now. He didn’t have to save the faith crystals in the case of an emergency. After explaining some things, Chen Rui opened the [Star Gate] and returned to the star point in the Venus City of the human world with ease.
After the separation of the avatar, Shura, Chen Rui did not return to the Demon Realm directly. After all, it would cost 2 million faith crystals to travel back and forth, so he couldn’t come back empty-handed.
He thought about it and decided to go to Storm Island first. The ‘Sky Wheel’ contributed a lot to the City of Stars’ upgrade to the level 3 alchemy civilization city. After all, it used to be a level 4 city, so there must be a lot of materials that the City of Stars could use.
