Chapter 110: The Way to 'Clear' the Greed for Money

On the morning of May 13th, Hirol packed up his mood and set out for the temple of the 'legacy' located in the 'Quinn district', where he had passed the test the day before, and stayed for one more day to study, purely because he had set a plan for two days in each temple, he did not want to destroy this plan, and also to be able to learn how to talk to the opposite sex, although he learned it in his dreams.

"Elder Cafidia has already told me that you are gifted. But I don't know if you can solve the financial problem perfectly. "When Hirol arrived at the 'Legacy' Temple, he found that only Elder Pukogisi was in the temple, and none of the other members were there.

But it is no wonder that the 'Legacy' Temple is the smallest of the three temples, and it is based on the largest office on the ground floor of an office building, but there is no room for more than a hundred people inside, so all the believers have already been arranged for the test, and it has been carried out outside, and Hirol does not know what the test here is because he came late.

"In the name of the Cult of God, we have borrowed a large amount of money from the city government, but this huge amount of money is not for our Worship, but for the sake of you believers who have come to the Temple of the 'Legacy' to pray for salvation. We have issued a special 'task' for each disciple, which can also be said to be an assessment, the content of the assessment is very simple, we will give each disciple 100 silver (that is, 1 gold/10,000, here in bulk, divided banknotes, it may be 10*10 silver coins, or 100*1 silver coins, not fixed), and their task is to make reasonable use of the 100 silver during this period of practice, and find a way to return the money as much as possible when returning it, and the remaining funds can be kept by themselves. ”

"In other words, if you get this 100 silver from heaven, you have to return up to 200 silver in 6 days, right?" Hero's heart trembled, now there is some evidence, but what Pukojisi said next directly subverted this charge of 'suspected gathering crowds to collect money'.

"The repayment we proposed to the city government is 1:1.5, which is a tradition that we have always had in the Worship of God, because among the believers who come to the Worship of God, there are many people who are misers, if they really have ill-gotten gains, they will either embezzle it privately, or they really want to enter the Worship of God and earn 2 times the amount to return within the time limit, and some of them will earn more than 2 times the money, and if they return the 2 times, they can leave a lot for themselves. Pukojisi said calmly, "And your cultivation task, just like them, we will give you 100 silver, and register, in the next few days, whether you make or lose, you can have a choice, pay twice the amount of money or not pay nothing, it's up to you." ”

After speaking, one of the believers brought a book with the words 'S1-XXX-XXX address-acceptance-signature-return ()', which means 'the first batch of believers, whether to accept this test, and sign their names if they accept', but the signature and return columns are empty, because this is after the graduate school entrance examination, the recorder will record it according to the specific number of 'repayment', and then sign the name for confirmation after the record.

The recorder handed the register and pen to Hirol, who, after a moment's hesitation, immediately registered his information. At the same time, one of the disciples had already walked up with 100 silver, and when Hirol had finished writing, he handed it to Hirol.

"Well, from now on, your test will begin, and since you are the chosen one, then I will not give you any remoteness, nor will I give you special treatment just because you came late. Pukogisi said very seriously, but on the other hand, Herol looked confident, and raised two fingers, and said calmly: "Two days, I only need two days, I can repay the loan." ”

"I really don't know if you're confident or arrogant! Okay, then give you two days. Pukogisi was a little annoyed, and Hirol's words were a little too arrogant.

In the whole city of Rosafern, the average monthly income of all the people is only 30 silver, and the better ones are only 50 silver, even if the Ripland Group was still there, the monthly income of the employees working in the Ripland Building was only 70 silver. Only those who work in the municipality can earn more than 10 gold a year. (Note (1))

The only way for Hirol to earn 200 silver in two days is to obtain it through illegal channels, but if it is obtained from illegal sources, then that person's soul will no longer be 'clean', and he will acquire even worse qualities, which makes it even more impossible to pass the subsequent test.

But Hirol had a plan in mind, and after leaving the Temple of the 'Legacy', Herol decisively went to an unimaginable place, the home of 'Lothar Zagolo'!

"Who are you, get out of here!I don't have time to talk to you!" Lothar's temper was very short-tempered, because he had just returned home from the casino, and he had lost a lot of money, and although he answered the door, he had a great temper, and he was not in the mood to talk to others, after all, Hirol was not wearing a police uniform, but only wearing his own civilian clothes, so Lothar just thought that it was a passerby, or a new neighbor, or a salesman, anyway, Lothar was not interested.

"'Keep yourself clean and stay away from gambling'...... You told your brother that, right?" Lothar was about to close the door, but the eight words that Hirol uttered stopped the half-closed door.

"How do you know this!Who are you!" Lothar knew very well that he had not said this to anyone other than to Carmon. "Do you remember when you were kidnapped by the Holy Tide and returned to the city?" said Hirol slowly, "I, one of the officers, my name is Hero. ”

Herol only remembered that he had indeed shouted it at that time. "And what are you here for, officer?" "Judging by your tone, it looks like you've already been approached, Lord Lothar. "I've been approached by more than a dozen people in the last two days to ask me for advice on how to make money quick, aren't you here to check this, officer?" "Of course not. Can I go in and say that?"

Although Lothar didn't have a good impression of the police, he let Herol in, because Herol was clearly here for a purpose, and Lothar wanted to find out what he wanted to know.

"Now, you can explain what your real purpose is for coming to me, right?" Lothar said straight to the point, and Hirol didn't want to hide it, so he confessed directly: "I'm now in the Cult of God, on an undercover mission, and those who came to you to ask for advice on how to make money quickly are the first batch of believers who have successfully selected the Cult of God, and they now have a task to earn more than 100 silver in 6 days to complete the first test." ”

"That's why they came to me as a gambler? Lothar sneered, he thought that why he suddenly attracted the attention of the people, it turned out that it was because of this.

"The vast majority of the believers who go to the Cult of the Honored God are ordinary workers, and their original monthly income from work will not exceed 50 silver, and of course they don't know how to earn 100 silver in 6 days, so they are looking for an efficient way, and that is only gambling. Hirol said seriously, "As for their principal, it was given by the Divine Sect, and they just want to use this money to earn more than 2 times the funds, and then return 2 times that is, 200 silver, to the Divine Sect, and the rest of the money can be kept for themselves." But the Cult of the Honorable God also has a rule, that is, no matter whether the original 100 silver is still there, it must be reported truthfully, even if there is nothing left. ”

"You know so well because you're on this mission, right?" "Of course, Lord Lothar. "You also want to come and ask for advice, how to make money by gambling?" "I, whether I do this task or not, I am already a member of the Cult of God, and I have already passed all the first round of tests, so... I'm not here to ask for advice, I'm just here to ask you what you think about 'greedy money'. ”

"Oh?" Lothar's interest came now, for the first time in decades, and someone said to him the word 'greedy for money,' "What do you want to know?"

"As far as I know, Lord Lothar, although you are a gambler and you win and lose, you are able to buy a ranch and let your wife and daughter live a carefree life on the ranch, I wonder how you did it. ”

"This is the first time this question has been encountered, and few people know about my purchase of the ranch and the fact that I have a wife and daughter, and it seems that you have studied my affairs very thoroughly. In fact, the answer is very simple, that is, I lose less and earn more. Rosa's answer surprised Hiroel, but then Lothar continued, "As for me, the ratio of wins and losses in gambling is 2:8, but the ratio of my wins and losses is 8:2, although among other people, I lose a lot, but what they don't know is how much I will earn when I earn. ”

"But this way also addicts you, right?" Hirol mentioned the key point, "This method of making money quickly will give you pleasure, but it will also numb your nerves, and if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you have already fallen here, and you have already lost all your family property." ”

"So, every time I make money, I give 3/4 of the money I earn and send it to my wife. In this way, I will be no different from losing, and I will not think about how much I have earned today, only losses, and the money I have will always be a small part, and it will always keep my mind on how to make a lot of money. ”

"That's how you restrain your greed for money. In other words, ordinary people make a lot of money, and they will definitely gamble this big money for a second or third time. ”

"So, have you figured out how to pass that test? After so much useless talk, and you don't want to make money from gambling, how do you want to make 200 silver in 6 days?"

"The test of the Cult of God is very simple, but ordinary people don't think about it. The Divine Sect is to let others eliminate the greed in their hearts, but let others find a way to earn 200 silver delivery, which is inconsistent. Since the purpose of the Cult of God is to eliminate greed, the only way to do this is to return the 100 silver to the Cult at the end of this task, so that you can pass the test and eliminate the habit of 'greed for money'. ”

"You tell me this, is it ......" Lothar was not a fool, he could not have failed to hear what Herol was saying. "I can't do a covert investigation when the crowd is sparse, so I'll leave this matter to you, Lord Lothar. This is the only way to dismantle the Cult of God. ”

Lothar didn't answer directly, just nodded, and Hirol left. As for why Lothar agreed to help Hirol, the real reason is known only to him.

Note:

(1) Income: This refers to all ordinary employees, non-senior employees or bosses, etc., and 'silver' as a unit of measurement, here represents 'hundred', so the monthly income of 30 silver = monthly income of 3000 (by the next work, the unit of measurement of all money will be unified)

(Note!The gambling skills mentioned in this chapter, don't try it lightly, reality is not fiction, nine out of ten bets lose)
