Banner of the Evil God

"boom!"

There was another earth-shaking loud noise, and the tall furnace exploded. Red iron slag and hot coals flew everywhere, but not a single bit fell on the big green jellyfish that was just around the corner.

Because Sui Xiong has set a triggering magic on himself in advance. Once he is attacked, he will immediately transform into an incorporeal state. Although the power of the blast furnace explosion is astonishing, it cannot harm an incorporeal being.

Of course, the incorporeal body cannot directly attack the existence of any entity. The point of being "intouchable" is fair to both parties.

After a while, the smoke and dust gradually subsided, and the hot fragments on the ground gradually cooled down. Sui Xiong transformed from a virtual body back to a physical body. He looked at the mess on the ground and sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" He said to himself, "It's been improved so many times, I think there should be no problem..."

At this moment, he turned his head slightly and heard the voice from Palin.

"My lord, today is the day when the retirement ceremony is held. Please don't forget to attend."

He was stunned for a moment, counting the time with his tentacles, only to realize that he had unknowingly forgotten the day again.

Ever since he visited the frog elder, he took back that incarnation and concentrated on studying the blast furnace. Unknowingly, so many days had passed.

If Palin hadn't reminded him, maybe he would have really forgotten the important event of the retirement ceremony. When the ceremony started and everyone prayed to him, he realized what he was doing and ran to the venue in disgrace... That would be very embarrassing!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing a few times, hurriedly packed up, and rushed to the Mask of the Void amusement park.

Gods walk very quickly, especially when returning to their own temples. A moment later, Sui Xiong arrived at the Void Mask Temple located in the southernmost part of the center of the playground, and met with the priests and priests who had been waiting here.

Seeing the arrival of their own gods, the priests and priests were all overjoyed. They sang hymns excitedly, and sang the hymns that Leon had plagiarized from the Eagle God's classics and re-sung them countless times. If Sui Xiong couldn't stand it and asked them to stop, they would have been able to keep singing.

These guys are not ordinary people. They are all at least at the level of intermediate adventurers. They are really full of energy. Their lung capacity is conservatively estimated to be more than 10,000. If they want to run to the earth, they are all kings of swimming. They can dive out in one breath. One hundred meters is absolutely no problem. If they are not stopped, they will sing and sing for days and nights.

...They can stand it, but even Sui Xiong can't!

At this time, a simple and solemn stage had been set up in the square of the playground. The two hosts had already arrived on the stage. The guests who had been invited to watch the ceremony took their seats one after another, and many curious tourists and residents gathered around. Outside the guest seats, there was a dense area.

The waiters walked around the guest seats like butterflies darting through flowers, serving fruits and drinks to the guests. The fruits are cut into pieces and inserted with toothpicks, which is very convenient to eat. The drinks are based on everyone's taste. Except for the fact that no hard liquor is provided to avoid getting drunk, there are all kinds of others.

There are also benefits for onlookers without seats. There are tables on both sides of the venue, providing drinks and fruits. Of course, the quality and variety are far behind those of the guests. After all, there is a difference between intimacy and distance, and the principle of differentiated service is universal in all worlds.

But such benefits are enough to satisfy people. A tourist from a southern country took a drink made from dried and ground frost tree fruits, a specialty of the Ice and Snow World, and took a big sip, smiling at his family. Said: "This is in the restaurant. One cup costs two gold coins. It's free now and you can have two more cups!"

His son had a skewer of grilled earth dragon meat in his left hand and right hand. His mouth was full of oil after eating. He looked at his Lutheran-looking father with disdain and said, "Dad, why are you so worried about money? Earth Dragon?" Meat skewers are usually available in limited quantities, but today they are available unlimitedly, so you should eat up now!”

"Earth dragons are also monsters after all. Isn't it bad to eat too much?" My mother, holding a small cup of dessert in her hand, asked worriedly.

The father was stunned for a moment, looked at his son who was full of energy after eating, thought about it, and smiled.

"If there is a real problem, will they provide unlimited supply?"

The son was very open-minded and said nonchalantly: "Isn't there a pastor next to here? Even if there are any problems with the food, it doesn't matter."

Situations like this abound. It is rare to encounter such affordable benefits, and tourists are very happy. The nearby residents also chose some of their favorite foods and ate and drank while waiting.

Although there were no seats, they were very satisfied.

As for the guests, most of them are very knowledgeable. Even if the fruits and drinks provided by Mask of the Void Amusement Park are really high-end, they will only be a little surprised at most, and will never be so excited.

Of course, some of the guests were very excited or even shocked.

For example, Reiff and the others.

Reiff sat uneasily at the guest table and looked around. The guests around him knew at a glance that he was a big shot. In comparison, he was just a worker, and his status was really much different.

He always felt that sitting here was a huge mistake. I was always worried that the next moment a burly man would come over, grab me, and throw me into the ditch nearby.

The same was true for several workers near him. They were all frightened and restless, with panic on their faces.

"I always feel like something is wrong..."

"Yeah, it's not appropriate for us to sit here, right?"

"Would you like to sneak to the back? I think it would be good to stand and watch..."

Felix, who specifically asked Mrs. Teague to arrange his seat in front of them, heard their whispers, was funny and angry, and turned to them and said: "Don't underestimate yourselves so much! You know, you all They were selected to watch the ceremony as 'outstanding workers'. Even though you are sitting in the audience today, maybe one day you will also be on the high platform as representatives and accept the highly anticipated honor!"

Laifu and the others were immediately stunned. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the simple but solemn high platform. They were filled with disbelief.

"Mayor, are you kidding us?" Reif asked anxiously.

Felix couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "You saw with your eyes that I was joking? His Majesty the Mask of the Void attaches great importance to improving the status of workers. You are all the most outstanding workers. You will indeed be very successful in the future. That's a sure thing."

"But...but...we are just ordinary people..."

Felix shook his head and pointed to the sky with his finger: "In front of the gods, who is not an ordinary person? Whether it is a noble, an adventurer, a worker, or a farmer, there is a big difference for the eternal and great existence. ”

Reif thought for a while and whispered: "The difference is quite big, right? Rich people can donate more money..."

Felix laughed loudly: "Money? His Majesty Mask of the Void doesn't care about that. The last thing he lacks is money... Do you know? Under this amusement park, there is a giant dragon living in a rock cave. , she is responsible for keeping the treasury for His Majesty. Guess how much money is in the treasury?"

Reif and his companions looked at each other, and a worker carefully guessed: "Ten thousand gold coins?"

The unit of "ten thousand" was something they had just learned during this journey. Before that, they could only use "five" and "ten" to count - most farmers were similar and could count without making any mistakes. Thirty is good. Those who can count to a hundred are simply intellectuals. Thousand? Ten thousand? They have no concept at all.

When the temporary teacher described these concepts to them, they spent a lot of time understanding the concept and asked the teacher to give several examples repeatedly.

But precisely because of this, they have a special kind of awe for such a huge number as "ten thousand". Whenever they say this word from their mouths, they feel that they are a little bit greater.

Felix didn't think like them. She smiled slightly and shook her head: "Ten thousand gold coins is nothing! This number is too small. Guess again."

Reiff and the others looked at each other blankly. "Ten thousand" was already an unimaginably large number for them. Is it still too small? So how much money is stored in that underground vault?

Felix saw the confused looks on their faces and guessed that they couldn't guess it. He sighed and said, "I don't know the specific number. It's just that I happened to go there last time for something. I chatted with the dragon guarding the vault for a while. At that time, I saw a mountain of golden coins piled up behind her. It was at least as high as a three-story building. I didn’t know how far it extended. I didn’t go in to take a closer look, so I didn’t know. ”

Reif imagined that scene for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and asked: "Then...how much is it?"

Felix casually took out a gold coin and spread the small metal disc flatly in his palm: "Look, a gold coin is only so big. If it piles up into a hill at least three stories high, how big will it be?" Where are the gold coins?”

She smiled and sighed softly: "I don't want to count, it will make me feel depressed."

Although she didn't care about money, seeing such a huge amount of wealth, the countless gold shining under the light of the lighting magic stone... Whenever she thought about it, she couldn't help but be fascinated, and she couldn't help but feel... I am deeply envious and jealous of the dragon sleeping on the pile of gold coins with his bedding in his arms.

(That guy... must be the happiest dragon in the world...)

Countless gold coins.

This concept confused Reif and the others. They tried hard to imagine the huge gold mountain, and tried to calculate how much it was using the superficial mathematical skills they had just learned. However, after repeated calculations, apart from making themselves dizzy, there was no result at all.

But thanks to this calculation, their original nervousness was greatly relieved, and their moods finally calmed down a bit.

"... In short, don't worry, don't burden yourself." Seeing that it was almost noon and the ceremony was about to be held, Felix whispered, "Eat when you are hungry and drink when you are thirsty. You may not understand this yet. The meaning behind the ceremony, then just think that you are here to join in the fun and enjoy it for free. "

"Is this okay?" Reiff asked worriedly.

"Didn't I just say that the Void Mask Church has a lot of money."

Thinking about the huge gold mountain mentioned just now, Laifu and the others immediately felt relieved, picked up fruits and drinks in a hurry, and started eating and drinking.

They had only eaten for a short while when the sun moved to the center of the zenith.

On the high platform, the two hosts looked at the sky, nodded, and raised their wands at the same time. The special wands emitted a soft light and shed a burst of light, making every guest and audience feel refreshed.

"Void Mask Amusement Park, the first employee retirement ceremony begins now!"

The two hosts came from the Void Mask Church and the God of Wealth Church respectively. They were both veterans in the business world. They were not only handsome, but also eloquent. They designed a whole set of rhetoric based on the outline prepared by Sui Xiong in advance, and made the "retirement" thing sound extremely grand, which made all the guests and audiences in awe.

In their mouths, those old workers exhausted their entire youth and all their energy for the construction and prosperity of the Void Mask Amusement Park. Now that they are old and can no longer work like they did when they were young, it is time for the amusement park to repay them.

According to the regulations formulated by Sui Xiong, every employee of the amusement park will automatically add a small amount of money to their personal pension account when he receives each salary. Over time, year after year, they have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.

This money will not be paid out in one lump sum when they retire, but will be paid out on average every month based on a ten-year expectation.

The reason why the time is set to ten years is that ordinary people in this world generally live to about sixty years old. Retire at the age of fifty, and it will be exactly ten years until you are sixty.

Of course, some people may not live to be sixty, and some may live beyond sixty. Sui Xiong's approach to this is that if you don't live to be sixty, the excess pension will be combined with the funeral expenses and distributed to his designated heirs; and don't worry if you live beyond sixty, the amusement park has plenty of money and doesn't mind paying a few months or even dozens of months more. Even if you have the ability to live to be a hundred, it's nothing more than paying an extra four hundred and eighty months of pension. For Sui Xiong, this little money is really not a big deal.

When the hosts finished explaining the system formulated by Sui Xiong in detail, the audience was silent, and the guests and the audience were all stunned.

Not only that, almost all the gods who were paying attention to this ceremony also fell into deep thought.

After a while, the goddess of the spring first issued an oracle, asking the church to choose a region and try to learn from the practice of the Church of the Void Mask to promote a retirement pension system. Then one after another kind gods issued oracles and tried to learn from Sui Xiong's practice.

The gods have lived for a long time and have accumulated rich experience. They can't think of many things at first, but once there are examples in front of them, they can quickly sort out the clues in the middle, analyze the pros and cons, and draw conclusions that are beneficial to themselves.

The retirement pension system proposed by the Void Mask seems to increase expenses at first glance, but it can greatly enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of the church and enhance the status of the church in the hearts of ordinary people.

When a person knows that he can have a pension and a place to rely on in his old age, he will certainly be grateful to the church that provides this benefit. Not only that, the world's things are not about scarcity but inequality. Some churches can provide retirement pensions, while some churches cannot. Ordinary people will naturally have tendencies and will naturally make choices that are beneficial to them.

This is the greatest benefit of this system for the kind gods!
