Chapter 664 Money is a good thing
Without warning, the Soth Society's army crossed the border the very next day and attacked the Alliance of Saints.
The breakthrough point is naturally Saint-Ilan City.
Originally, this city could have withstood the attacks of several legendary figures, but due to Jiang Shuzhou's intervention, the city was completely destroyed.
What's even more outrageous is that Jiang Shuzhou can do this, but the gods can't, since Jiang Shuzhou dares to directly withstand the pressure from the main plane's consciousness while the gods can't.
The price is that Jiang Shuzhou's treatment is now on par with the Abyss Will. Anyone who throws him an alignment assessment will be shocked to find that the light he receives is so red it's almost black.
And that's not all; there's also the will of nature. Jiang Shuzhou has now been blacklisted by the will of nature, so spells that require communication with the will of nature are completely useless.
Jiang Shuzhou just didn't care much; it was just a law of will.
If the other party hadn't been too afraid to come to him, Jiang Shuzhou would have kicked it away and swallowed it whole long ago. Besides, with his current strength, he didn't need the will of nature to cast spells; he could simply command the surrounding laws.
However, Jiang Shuzhou was very dissatisfied with the ungratefulness of the will of nature. Now he has begun to spread new incarnations and create new paths in Wardland, which is his own plane, in preparation to replace the will of nature at any time.
As for the abilities, they're basically just stealing from the Druids and then modifying them a bit.
After all, if something is readily available, it might as well be used.
I believe that this new path will surely bring unexpected surprises to the will of nature!
Putting the war aside for the moment, Jiang Shuzhou was riding with Wojnarowski and Chahara in the carriage he had just created, speeding along a country road.
bump!bump!
What I heard was not the sound of the wind whistling past, but the sonic boom at high speed.
Normally, Jiang Shuzhou would use runes to harmonize the sound, so there wouldn't be this kind of noise. But now it's different. Jiang Shuzhou didn't use runes; he relied entirely on the basic values he assigned to the carriage.
Therefore, the sound will be somewhat noisy.
Of course, Jiang Shuzhou didn't care much.
"Why don't you speed things up? At this rate, it might take more than half a month to get to my City of Wealth."
Although Wojnarowski found the sound noisy, he didn't seem bothered by it at all.
If she were to actually fly, she could go much faster than this.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It'll be quick."
Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, refusing Woking's request.
Soon? Do you think I don't know how far this place is from the City of Wealth?
Originally, Woking thought that Jiang Shuzhou would use spatial teleportation to teleport directly to the city.
However, she was being too simplistic.
Suddenly, the scenery around the carriage flashed by rapidly, as if it had accelerated, but it seemed...
"How is that possible? There was no acceleration?"
Wojnarowski closed his eyes to sense the speed, but why couldn't he feel it even though it was so much faster?
Using mental energy to probe, the speed didn't change at all?
"How is that impossible?"
Jiang Shuzhou curled his lip, thinking that these gods were ignorant and had no imagination at all.
"The speed hasn't changed, but time has. I've sped up time around the carriage."
Upon hearing this, Wojnarowski fell silent.
Go ahead and give me a warning; it'll speed things up. You're just wasting time, aren't you? You're telling me not to have any ulterior motives, aren't you?
Looking at Jiang Shuzhou's enigmatic smile, Woking was convinced.
She felt like she had been hit all over the head. Why was this person only hitting her with a stick and not giving her any carrots?
Is this how you boss people around?
In fact, Jiang Shuzhou had already given Woking carrots. He believed that his willingness to condescend and stroll with the other party was already an act of consideration for the people's sentiments.
Think about it, the emperor's only companions are his guards; isn't that a clear indication of his favor?
However, perhaps because his mindset hadn't changed yet, Woking wasn't very sensitive to this.
The diagnosis was that he had no experience in officialdom, and things got better after that.
The young god is still too young; he needs more experience and training.
Jiang Shuzhou saw through Woking's thoughts but didn't say anything.
Of course, since the other party was the first god to betray them, Jiang Shuzhou still had to give them something of value.
"How is it?"
Jiang Shuzhou asked casually.
"Um...that's amazing? If it were used in transportation or for keeping food warm or fresh, it could make a lot of money."
Wojnarowski replied.
Jiang Shuzhou simply ignored this. For him, measuring this was just a matter of a thought, but if he were to mass-produce it, the cost would probably be much higher than the price of the goods.
"Fine, I'm not expecting you to say anything nice."
With a soft sigh, Jiang Shuzhou continued.
"Once we arrive in the City of Wealth, let's formally sign the contract that can transfer divine power. Of course, not now, but in the not-too-distant future."
"I thought you just wanted to take a look."
Mentioning this made Wojnarowski instantly perk up again.
Lately, Wojnarowski has felt that he is becoming less and less like himself.
The feeling was subtle; Wojnarowski could remember everything, but her perspective on certain things seemed to have shifted.
This is dangerous. Perhaps in a few thousand years, Wojnarowski will no longer be able to withstand the transformation and will either become a Daoist being or transform into another version of himself.
What difference is there between this and being dead?
Or rather, it would be better to die, since dying is better than becoming a stranger to yourself.
"Judging from your appearance, the erosion has worsened again?"
Jiang Shuzhou noticed the fleeting, sinister expression on Woking's face and then spoke.
"There are already some signs."
"Wojnarowski said."
"I see."
Jiang Shuzhou nodded, and then, with a wave of his hand, a rusty copper coin appeared in his palm.
"This copper coin is something I kept from my first murder. I just casually put it in my collection. Now it's perfect for you to use, so take it."
Upon hearing this, Woking looked at him strangely. The copper coin did have commemorative value, but he wasn't one of those fangirls of Jiang Shuzhou, so why would he want it?
Did it sell? Perhaps it really could have fetched a good price...
No, what am I thinking?
Wojnarowski shook his head frantically, and then regained some of his senses.
Putting aside the fact that the item Jiang Shuzhou gave her must be something extraordinary, even if it is, how much would it be worth if sold?
It simply has commemorative value.
Taking a deep breath to clear his mind, Woking took the copper coin from Jiang Shuzhou's hand.
Then, a cool sensation came over me, and the oppressive feeling of being suppressed by the laws and the feeling of my personality being changed vanished instantly.
In that instant, Wojnarowski felt more relaxed than ever before.
She even felt that money was unimportant and that she no longer cared about it.
This feeling surprised her.
However, he quickly came to terms with it, after all, for some people, money really is just a number.
Take Jiang Shuzhou, for example.
Of course, Wojnarowski still loves money, but he no longer feels the need to make money all the time.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling much better?"
Jiang Shuzhou asked.
"There are some, but speaking of which, what is this thing?"
"I just made it. As for the name... let's call it 'Gentleman's Money.' A gentleman loves money but acquires it in a proper way. It can effectively suppress the influence of the laws of wealth on you."
Upon hearing this, Wojnarowski looked at the rusty copper coin in his hand. Although he couldn't see anything gentry about it, after all, it was obtained by killing someone.
But to refuse something good is to be a bastard.
Whatever it's called, as long as it's useful.
"Thank you for the gift. I... will certainly do my best to fulfill your request."
Although it felt a little strange, Wojnarowski still bent her proud back.
After all, Jiang Shuzhou at least saved her and helped her return to her original aspirations.
The god of wealth's job is to avoid being eroded, which means making money. The more money you make, the faster the erosion happens, and the faster the erosion happens, the more money you need to make.
In this way, Woking essentially sets his own KPIs, and they grow exponentially. The more he earns, the higher his KPIs become, and the higher his KPIs become, the more he needs to earn.
It's a closed loop.
Under this cycle, complete erosion is only a matter of time.
She was able to remain calm before, since the laws hadn't manifested yet. Now that the laws have chosen her as their representative, the erosion has naturally intensified considerably.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuzhou rescued her from this cycle.
Looking back, I realize that my initial decision was absolutely right.
I should have gone to Jiang Shuzhou a long time ago. He's a nice guy, and most importantly, he's rich!
