Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 597 - 397: Tiger Head Town Arrangements (Part 2)
After pondering for a while, Wang Zhifan decided to officially start his plan to develop the faith of the Celestial Lord in this world.
And all this required a reliable helper, whom Wang Zhifan had already arranged to come. It was a village woman who had just arrived by carriage from Pingwu City a few hours ago, currently his only true believer.
Through his mysterious connection with the believer, Wang Zhifan could tell that this village woman was still resting and sleeping in a small inn, planning to spread the faith outside in the afternoon due to her exhaustion from the journey.
"Although this woman doesn’t have much intelligence or ability, her steadfast faith is undeniable. I just sent her a ’divine oracle’, and she came over without hesitation, alone. It seems I need to give her something good to establish her identity..."
Wang Zhifan had initially looked down on this village woman, but now he understood that capable people were difficult to persuade into becoming believers directly. Only the simple-minded were truly loyal. Although she was lacking in ability, her obedience and effort more than made up for it, giving her some value to be utilized.
Taking advantage of the village woman sleeping in the inn, Wang Zhifan used the power of the Great Dream Saber Scripture to invade her dreams, appearing as an old man with a white beard.
"Celestial Lord... feeling your belief... granting you... a protective item... spread the gospel... the Holy Tower will appear... inform the world..."
This time, Wang Zhifan conveyed a lot of information to the believer in her dream, detailing the operation process to avoid any possibility of misunderstanding.
First, he affirmed the believer’s faith, bolstering her confidence.
Next, he granted her the tangible items she needed, using the Demon Scroll to transmit them directly to her bedside.
Specifically, the items were some silver taels and an excellent-grade item. The silver taels were provided by the Celestial Lord as operational funds, and the item was meant to enhance her power and status.
Then Wang Zhifan, through his avatar, instructed her on what to do, such as using the silver taels to buy food to aid the poor on the streets and spread the faith opportunistically. He also instructed her to keep the item granted by the Celestial Lord on her at all times; if someone threatened her, the item would automatically strike to punish the individual.
Finally, Wang Zhifan painted a grand vision for the believer, saying a Holy Tower created by the Celestial Lord was about to appear, and only believers of the Celestial Lord could enter the tower to face trials set by the Celestial Lord and receive various treasures.
Although the information seemed complex, it was summarized in a few short sentences. Worried the village woman might forget, Wang Zhifan had the old man with the white beard repeat it several times in her dream until she remembered clearly, then quickly woke her from the dream.
Thus, that morning, when the devoted village woman Liu Erya, a believer in the Celestial Lord, woke up from the small bed in the inn, she found several items at her bedside—items that the Celestial Lord’s envoy had mentioned in her dream.
She was not very surprised by this sight, having experienced the true power of the Celestial Lord before, so she immediately offered a bow of gratitude to the Celestial Lord and quickly started her actions.
First, she carefully stored the large sum of silver given to her by the Celestial Lord, taking out just a small amount for purchases. Then she clasped the protective items given by the Celestial Lord, three peculiar-looking "short weapons," to her waist.
These three weapons were actually a set, mass-produced excellent-grade weapons from Wang Zhifan’s Black Tower, called "Shadow Dart."
Wang Zhifan considered these weapons suitable for her because they possessed the ability to attack autonomously. Each dart contained a shadow with special powers, capable of controlling the darts to autonomously attack intruding enemies with high efficiency, justifying their excellent grade.
"With this, as long as she doesn’t encounter particularly strong enemies, she can rely on the Shadow Dart to protect herself, showcasing some of the Celestial Lord’s majesty and making people more inclined to believe the faith she spreads... Once she spreads the information about the Holy Tower, the number of my believers should surge..."
Wang Zhifan had prepared for a long time for spreading the faith, believing his path of faith would head in the right direction. Regardless of whether this village woman believer met expectations, he was determined to persist.
After finishing arrangements, he returned to the Wind Snow Tower to check on Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing’s interrogation of the Demon Sect spies.
In fact, he had been observing their actions from the start by sending a Dream Me Avatar to secretly follow them underground. It wasn’t that he mistrusted the two upright young practitioners but intended to use the avatar to collect data for enriching his Black Tower’s local models.
As he anticipated, it wasn’t long before he saw through the avatar that the two disciples from Wuji Sect were amateurish in their interrogation methods. They weren’t interrogating at all but treating the spies as combat opponents, trying to subdue them with force through one-against-many combat.
"The practice of the Infinite Golden Body Skill seems to involve a stage of continuous opposition and tempering... Are the two of them trying to complete the interrogation while honing their techniques?"
Through his avatar’s observation, Wang Zhifan quickly guessed this and was pleased, using the avatar to record their interrogation process and construct new models.
As for his later visit to see the two, it wasn’t for lack of anything better to do but to convey the management policies for Tiger Head Town going forward, preventing the two from interfering with his plans.
"You two, I just conducted a secret search throughout the town and confirmed that the Demon Sect spies have all been captured for the time being. Tiger Head Town will enter a phase of recuperation and recovery.
Just ensure you don’t create a big disturbance outside unless encountering someone from the Demon Sect committing a crime in public. Ordinary people really can’t bear it.
As for outsiders, even if you suspect they have ties with the Demon Sect, don’t act rashly. Tiger Head Town needs a period of stability to recover, and I will personally handle the Demon Sect’s minions on a regular basis."
These words left the two enthusiastic youths from Wuji Sect speechless, because following his advice, they would essentially be idling away their time here, with few opportunities for real combat, which was necessary for improving their skills.
No sooner had Wang Zhifan finished speaking than Wu Xun retorted:
"Sect Leader, we know you’re skilled at catching Demon Sect spies, but if everything is left to you, what are we supposed to do? We can’t just loiter around the streets every day, can we? We might as well return to Wuji Mountain to cultivate!"
Yang Qingqing shared similar feelings, expressing difficulty in accepting such arrangements, and even a bit angrily said:
"If the Sect Leader thinks the two of us can’t contribute much here, we’re willing to leave Tiger Head Town."
Their response was not far from Wang Zhifan’s expectations. After all, they stayed here to make progress, and wasting time was not an option.
To satisfy them typically required Wang Zhifan to provide some cultivation guidance, making them feel they gained something each day by staying.
However, Wang Zhifan didn’t plan to do that now. Despite his much greater strength compared to them, the different systems made guidance somewhat cumbersome. His choice was to assign them some tasks.
"Although I hope to handle the task of eliminating the Demon Sect enemies uniformly myself, you two are absolutely welcome to conduct investigations. Often, combat isn’t the most challenging part of eliminating the enemy, but rather locating the enemy’s lair is the key. These tasks entail profound knowledge; you are entirely free to thoroughly investigate the Demon Sect’s traces in Tiger Head Town, but be sure to remain covert and avoid alarming them easily..."
Wang Zhifan’s arrangement seemed ordinary but actually held deep meaning.
