BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21
Everyday before they left now, the patrol squad and 3rd Legion
members, who had tasks outside, would always make an offering
to the God of Wealth beforehand. This was a habit that had
gradually developed in the last
At first, people did it secretly, afraid of being discovered by
others. Later on, with Cheng JinXue taking the lead, they began
to engage in their superstitious behavior out in the open in broad
daylight. The people on battleship Wyvern have long gotten used
t
This can all be blamed on Cheng JinXue for being a good leading
example.
Cheng JinXue was both Wen XiaoYun\'s vice-admiral and his good
friend. Naturally he was considered an outstanding figure, placed
behind Wen XiaoYun in
Vice-admiral Cheng paved the path and believed in this
superstition. Naturally the 3rd Legion members learned fr
Later on, after having a taste of the sweet rewards and
discovering that after worshiping, not only would their luck
increase, they\'d often win the lottery; even if they didn\'t believe
previously, now they had no choice but to beli
Right now, hearing Ge LuEn saying that they were like some
heretic cult, they all became rather unhappy
Food can be eaten randomly but words can\'t be said randomly!
Didn\'t you see how unfortunate Vice-admiral Cheng became after
saying the wrong things?
Everyone immediately wanted to have a nice chat with the person
calling them a hereti
Unexpectedly, when they turned to look, they saw Ge LuEn
standing right next to Wen XiaoYun. Everyone was stunned in
unison and then promptly saluted resp
"Admiral! Great Master Ge LuEn!"
They tossed their plan to "have a nice chat". This was the Great
Master Ge LuEn after all!
Ge LuEn looked at them. Seeing them act pretty normal, and not
like people who were brainwashed, he couldn\'t resist asking:
"What are you guys doing?"
Zhang Feng said: "Great Master Ge LuEn, hello. We\'re getting
ready to go on patrol. Just now, we were making an offering to
the God of Wealth, hoping that we can encounter some good stuff
on our patrol today and avoid dangers."
Ge LuEn had a face full of bewilderment: "God of Wealth?"
Everyone wanted to make themselves stand out in front of the
great master Ge LuEn, and create a good impression. They also
wanted to share the miraculous things they experienced
personally. A sentence here, and a sentence there, they started
explaining everything to G
Very quickly, Ge LuEn understood where this "God of Wealth"
cam
Supposedly, after worshipping him, you might pick up energy
stones if you were a little lucky. People who were super lucky,
might even discover an energy quarry!
Supposedly, after worshipping him, you\'ll definitely win the
lottery. Even if it\'s not the grand reward, it\'ll be in the top
Those with godly luck will win a whole bunch!
Supposedly, after worshipping him, even your mom who\'s far
away in the Capital can win tens of thousands. Even your
kidnapped little brother can be found again!
Ge LuEn: "...…."
Just now, he still felt like the members of the 3rd legion weren\'t
brainwashed too
Now it looked like this was indeed rather severe!
Ge LuEn turned around and said sincerely to Wen XiaoYun:
"Admiral Wen, I suggest you immediately hire a mental health
psychologist. Your 3rd legion here...… seems in slight danger."
Everyone: "!!!"
No, the only one in danger is you, great master!
You know nothing about the power of the God of Wealth!
Nodding his head, Wen XiaoYun sent the Elite little squad and the
others away. Then he said with a calm expression: "Thank you for
the recommendation. I will consider it."
Ge LuEn was filled with worries: "How can these kids be so easily
deceived? Have they ever thought, if that God of Wealth is really
that powerful to fulfill everyone\'s wish, then who\'d still work in
this world? It\'d be enough to just worship him. Make an offering
and people won\'t have to worry about food or drink."
When Cheng JinXue and Zhuang Zhou came over, they just
happened to hear these
Zhuang Zhou became slightly unhappy: "They aren\'t being
deceived."
Ge LuEn saw him and immediately welcomed him delightedly:
"Are you the little friend, Zhuang Zhou? I\'m Ge LuEn. You can call
me Grandpa Ge LuEn!"
Zhuang Zhou said stubbornly: "They aren\'t being deceived."
Ge LuEn was somewhat confused. He looked towards Wen
XiaoYun.
Wen XiaoYun shrugged and said in a nonchalant voice: "Zhou
Zhou also believes in the God of Wealth."
Ge LuEn: "...…"
Alright. Vilifying other people\'s faith would indeed result in
abhorrence. Especially when there\'s no evidence to prove that
this was
Ge LuEn thought briefly and asked: "Do you really believe that
this so-called God of Wealth can fulfill the wishes of everyone
who worships him?"
Zhuang Zhou said seriously: "If he can hear it, he will definitely
fulfill it. Because the more people believe in him, the stronger his
divine strength."
Ge LuEn, who was just feeling this all seemed rather unreliable,
felt it was even more unreliable after hearing this: "This God of
Wealth relies on his followers to provide him with Divine
strength?"
Zhuang Zhou said: "That\'s right. God and his followers are like
the water and the boat. The water can carry the boat, but can
also overturn th
Ge LuEn: "That\'s even scarier. What if a deranged murderer
makes a wish? Would the so-called god also fulfill his wish to
obtain divine strength? And plus, if he\'s so powerful, wouldn\'t
everyone just have to make an offering to him every morning,
then no one would need to work anymore. As long as they
worshipped this God of Wealth, they wouldn\'t need to worry
about daily necessities anymore."
Wasn\'t this a heretic cult?
Ge LuEn remembered that a few hundred years ago, this kind of
brainwashing incidence also appeared
A huge number of people were gathered and instigated into
practicing some kind of martial arts style, saying after practicing
this style, they\'d becom
At first, no one believed it either. However, a large number of
people suddenly started to say -- so and so from my family
became a god, so and so from my neighbor practiced this and
became
The more people talked about it, the more people belie
With the addition of so many \'successful examples\', everyone
started to believe that practicing this martial arts style really
allowed them to become gods. Everyday, they\'d forgo eating,
drinking, working, and only focused on practicing. In the end,
they even suicided to reach
Right now, this sudden appearance of the "God of Wealth" really
seemed very similar to what happened
For some inexplicable reason, everyone said that their wishes
came true, that this God of Wealth really
In Ge LuEn\'s eyes, these were only coincidences. Some were
most likely arranged purposely behind the scenes by certain
individuals.
Zhuang Zhou furrowed his brows: "But...those who only want to
be lazy and get stuff for free while spending their time idling
away, even if they make wishes, God can\'t hear them!"
Ge LuEn asked: "How do you know he can\'t hear? Isn\'t he an
omnipotent god?"
Zhuang Zhou pressed his lips together and said quietly: "He just
can\'t hear them."
Pausing, he continued to say: "Because those people want to
reap without sowing. This greed is considered a type of
ill-intention. God will only protect those who are kind hearted. If
you have ill intent in your heart, no matter what you wish, how
devoted you are, God won\'t be able to hear anything. Even more
so if you\'re someone wicked beyond redemption."
Ge LuEn: "Then let\'s change our train of thought according to
what you said. Right now, there aren\'t that many people within
the 3rd Legion on the battleship Wyvern. You guys believe he
can fulfill all of your wishes because he also needs your faith to
supplement his own divine strength. But what if the people
worshipping him in the future is everyone on an entire
Can he really fulfill everyone\'s wishes? There are hundreds and
thousands of planets. Every civilization has several billions of
people. Can he really satisfy every single person?"
"If it\'s like this, wouldn\'t the world become chaos!"
Zhuang Zhou hastily said: "But I just said, this depends on the
person. It depends on if you\'re hard working or not. How come
some people have their wishes fulfilled directly, while with the
same wish, others can only have it partially fulfilled? This
depends on how hard you\'ve been striving."
Those people, who won the big prizes, were normally
hardworking and diligent. That\'s why their good fortune would
increase several times for them to win the
The so-called Power of Faith was that if God really existed in this
world.
Your faith would become his strength and his strength would
mysteriously and inexplicably return back
This didn\'t require Zhuang Zhou to do anything personally for the
person. He really didn\'t even need to do anything
For example, that person in the 3rd Legion whose little brother
was kidnapped an
He was a kindhearted person. Because he wanted to find his little
brother, everytime he received his salary, he used it to help
homeless people so he could obtain news of his little
The more good things he did, the more Zhuang Zhou\'s divine
powers mysteriously and inexplicably returned back to him,
providing him with more good luck. That\'s why his wish came
true.
If he hadn\'t done his best searching, even praying to God
wouldn\'t help him fulfill his wish. What was God supposed to do?
Toss his little brother down from the sky? Throw the little brother
right in front of him?
Thus, without hard work, even if you pray sincerely to God with
good intentions, you\'ll receive a response from God, but you
won\'t get much in this response. Maybe even barely
It\'s just like wishing to God to pick up money
Picking up 10 dollars also counts as fulfilling you
But others might be able to pick up 100 thousand
This was something that had rules and preconditions, just like
this.

Zhuang Zhou said seriously: "You must understand, the more
hardworking you are, the more fortunate you\'ll become."
The more hardworking, the more God will watch ov
Ge LuEn: "...…………………."
The words that the little friend said sounded so right and so
reasonable, he actually couldn\'t argue back!
He was even on the verge of being brainwashed as well!
Ge LuEn opened his mouth, closed it, then opened his mouth
again. Then he said in a cordial tone:"How about we go discuss
the little robot instead??"
However, in the end, they weren\'t able to discuss it
As soon as Ge LuEn arrived, he started slandering the little
Wealth God as a
Then after being unable to prove it, he tried to change the
The little God of Wealth also had a temper!
The little God of Wealth didn\'t want to discuss robots with him at
all. Grabbing Wen XiaoYun, he started
Ge LuEn: "...… Don\'t go, little friend! This old man came all the
way from far away. Let\'s have a nice discussion about that robot
of yours...…"
The little robot that Zhuang Zhou made previously has already
been sold for half a month. The other side already signed,
acknowledging that they received the delivery a
In this half a month, Zhuang Zhou and Wen XiaoYun picked up a
lot of spare components from the trash pile again and then
replicated the process to create Xiao PoLan#2
However,Zhuang Zhou didn\'t want to give them to Ge LuEn
He stuffed Xiao PoLan#2 and #3 into Wen XiaoYun\'s arms and
said solemnly: "All yours. Don\'t give them to others."
The word \'others" was specifically emphasized, practically missing
the name "Ge LuEn."
Wen XiaoYun
This little friend, who was doing his best to defend his belief, was
also ver
Especially this huffy and puff
Wen XiaoYun placed Xiao PoLan #2 and #3 to the side and said
softly: "Are you angry?"
Zhuang Zhou pressed his lips together, but he was still unable to
hold back from complaining: "If he doesn\'t understand, he can
choose not to believe, but he can\'t say I\'m lyin...… that we\'re
being lied to."
Wen XiaoYun said: "En. What you say is correct. Then we\'ll just
ignore him for now."
"Ignoring him." Zhuang Zhou also thought the same way. Forget
about this customer!
Seeing Zhuang Zhou\'s mood much better, Wen XiaoYun opened
his personal computer to his notepad. Then he looked towards
Zhuang Zhou saying: "Then can Zhou Zhou tell me everything
you like and dislike?"
Zhuang Zhou didn\'t understand: "Why say those?"
With eyes filled with emotions and a serious tone, Wen XiaoYun
said:"I will record everything you hate. That way, I won\'t make
you angry in the future."
Stunned, Zhuang Zhou\'s face flushed red: "I wouldn\'t randomly
get angry……"
Wen XiaoYun acknowledged with an \'en\': "I know. Zhou Zhou has
the best temper."
Zhuang Zhou in a small voice: "Then there\'s no need to say it……"
"Yes, there is." Wen XiaoYun said softly: "This way you won\'t
have any reason to ignore me in the future."
