Chapter Ninety-Three: The Gods Inc
What are the first requirements for becoming a new god?
Many people have asked such questions, but the answers are often unacceptable. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
To become a church organized by SBC, first and foremost, to have money.
Yes, that's such a frustrating and realistic answer, you need to have money first in order to form your own church, recruit/hire clergy, form a Templar Order, and even buy Anthoreen's Advent qualifications, all of which are inseparable from a lot of money.
Even the writing of doctrines requires professionals, and without trained propagandists, your teachings cannot be expanded, perfected, let alone preached to gain followers.
Before the Dawn War, there was no one of those race gods and new gods, and each of them was already standing at the pinnacle of sentient beings by virtue of their own efforts........ in other words, the ontology of their existence was a living advertisement, and it was naturally able to attract countless "investors".
At that time, being unbelievers was a sin in itself, and even for the sake of sleeping after death, it was necessary to find a belief in God.
And with the opening of the doors of the planes after the Dawn War, the cosmic era brought information from other worlds, and naturally let the Ash gradually understand the truth of the gods, they do not seem to be necessities, nor are they so high, sacrosanct, and infallible.
As the development of Ansoleen progressed, the first "new gods" appeared a few a year, but the population of the new generation's source of faith, the resource base, did not increase significantly, and the final result was that the competition became more and more fierce.
And today, hundreds of years later, thousands or tens of thousands of new gods ascend to the throne every year, and the shock of the new gods registered in the past naturally disappears, and people hear a new god that they have not heard, and they probably feel - "Oh, there is another company/church." ”
In the context of this great era, the living environment of SBC's church is becoming more and more difficult, since believers and investors cannot take the initiative to send them to the door, empty words are not convincing, so they can only take the initiative to fight for it....... since everyone is competing in a "market", to publicize, to invest, to have a rate of return, and to have benefits, then, there is no essential difference with "company club".
In fact, the modern mainstream view of these new gods is just like a company.
SBC Church (company) is founded, the doctrine is your business scope, SBC himself is the helm of the company that will never change, and investors will evaluate and invest or market financing according to the actual situation of your company.
With investment, or if SBC itself has money, it can recruit people to form a church, and there is a series of developments.
But it's not enough to just invest, it must be rewarded, at least let investors see that your "company" is working well, and you don't use all the investors' funds to buy peripheral figures.
The Star Descenders and the subordinate teams of the Church, which were carefully built by the Church, did just that.
There are semi-open and open competitions in simulated actual combat, and sometimes they include the best publicity platform in front of the gods, and the most eye-catching ones are the celebrities.
When a small team of celebrities continues to complete difficult tasks in two worlds, and when their deeds are often featured in other cult magazines, and can even increase sales, it naturally proves the strength of the church itself.
For example, if the Silver Elf God of War's victorious battleship group successfully completes the God Hunting mission, it will not only be able to reap a lot of substantial benefits, but in terms of publicity, it will naturally be "the Silver Elf's invincible battleship group".
Instead of repeatedly emphasizing to investors and third parties how much money they have earned and how well they have done in Ansolein, it is better to show what roles they have that can be named, what military strength they have reputation, and what great achievements they have done.
In the ghost in the fog incident, the game church did not hesitate to pay for other church magazines to report and publicize, and it was also consciously cultivating its own signature characters.
Not only that, but the bigwigs of the major god systems will also be rewarded according to the "performance" of SBN Church in Ansoleen, and there will be a celebration with a test nature in the middle and end of the year every year.
That's to fight hard to get results, and the rewards are naturally extremely rich, and the comprehensive performance of the year is directly linked to the number of adventers in the coming year, and the prosthetic limb of God that makes Rorschach worry about is the prize at the end of this year....... this is the carrot hanging on the rope, and the people who watch it eat more...... But when there are many people who are concerned, it makes sense.
The journeys of those rising churches were roughly similar:
The better the work - the greater the reputation, the increase in investment, the increase in human resources, the increase in strength - the results in the celebration, the results in the hunt - the abundant rewards, the greater the number of people coming next year - the better the work next year.
This is a normal virtuous cycle path, but no more than 3% of SBC churches will be able to follow this path.
For the most part, the work is average - the reputation is okay, the investment is flat, the strength is slightly stronger - the celebration is easily killed, the hunt is not fruitful - the income and expenditure are not even, because the number of war damage is decreasing - the next year will be worse and worse.
Yes, even equalization is unacceptable, this is an unusually cruel world, and not rising is equivalent to slow death.
Just like the fabulous rise of large corporations, the number of large corporations has always been small, and most churches have been hovering in the middle and lower classes, with good and bad results.
It's rare to cultivate a few backbones and starlets, but because they can't see the future, they are poached/actively jumped, and then they get worse and worse, and in the end they can only mess around.
The big forces, the race and the gods have a strong foundation, and they have tossed up for years or decades after failure, and the nascent church without a background and backstage has shattered the cycle of conscience after a year of failure, and there is almost no day to rise.
And if you trace back to the roots, the first few years of this circular chain were the most difficult, but also the most important, the self-made small company began to be tossed a few times, and basically died steadily.
The history of the game church is less than two years, the first year is to fully lay the foundation, investors and the market will not have expectations for the results, the second year....... that is, this year, is also the time to show results.
Whether it is dead or alive depends on the present day.
The game church itself is also very hard, and the dispute with the silver elf seems to be a bad thing, but in fact, it has made a reputation for the church and proved its strength, and those private investments have increased dramatically these days, and Luo Li and they don't know how happy they are in their hearts.
In Anoraine, the church has invested its energy, material resources, and funds in the construction of the ...... I mean, the construction of the floatboat is up.
With a ship, the radius of action is far, and it is natural to drive out more achievements, and you can also go to other metropolises to trade, communicate and contact with the locals, and even start to build your own territorial circle.
In Ash, at this time, a "third game club" representing the nature of jokes was established, and several elite adventers were injected into it, but it was not a small club that was really used for fun, this is the game church building its own elite team and star war group, that is, creating a signature face for itself.
It can be said that the following days were not easy for Rorschach and the small team he took over.
The battle with the silver elves, the simulated competition of the team's preliminary round, the battle in front of the gods, and the big celebration at the end of the year, one stage is bigger than the other, and the threshold is higher than the other, but for a newborn weak god and her church, none of them can fail, or even be brilliant.
Of course, it is not completely without good things, at least with the injection of a large amount of money and human resources, the signature of the new team, a special magic armor tailored for individuals, has taken shape.
