Chapter 136: Placing a bet

"We're also counted as part of the forces inside Horn City, are you kidding?"

When Rorschach accepted an invitation from a warlord to discuss something big, he really thought it was just a joke.

[They said that our church has its own territory of influence in the city, and there are so many believers and businesses, and the factories and churches are counted, which is no worse than a chieftain, at least the giant merchants and new nobles in the city. 】

At first, Rorschach thought this was a bit absurd, how could I, a good Ashian, suddenly become a native of Isoreen, but then I thought about what others said, there must be his considerations, thinking of the future and the current situation, I suddenly had an urge to chant poetry.....Ahem, for the sake of not 404, I'd better be serious."

There is some truth in this statement, the game church not only has a church in Corner City, tens of thousands of devout believers, and even has its own property.

Two large toy factories, 12 churches and branch churches, 127 chain stores, more than 700 game halls, and two large arena projects, these are only directly subordinate public institutions, not counting those additional industries that take money to invest and operate outside.

Churches, game halls, and sales stores don't need to be explained, they can be used to make money, and they are also a channel for preaching.

After all, games, toys, books and other entertainment items are the main industries of the game church, and the huge market in Jiaocheng also has a low local tax amount, so the game church did not hesitate to put the production base in Jiaocheng.

But even so, Rorschach still found it absurd.

"Even if we're part of Horn City, it's ridiculous to drag us into a power struggle, we don't have an army anywhere, can we let those dead otaku addicted to games go to the battlefield to fight for supremacy?"

The game is a priesthood that is very suitable for promotion, and it is more suitable for harvesting faith, but when it comes to expanding combat power, it is probably the last priesthood.

The patron saint of a certain profession, for example, is the patron saint of the ranger, the ranger who fights a lot of believers, and most of the believers of the god of war are combat professions, and the god's domain can give believers the power to fight, further attracting those professionals, and the god of the game ....... combat power and luck in the virtual game world can probably still be given.

Don't look at God of War 888 and the like, it's ridiculous, but others can't be pure fools, and no one will do anything that doesn't benefit at all.

There are indeed a lot of believers in the game church in Horn City, and now the development of believers in New Winteria City is also very smooth, after all, the habit of diligence is easily ruined by a moment of slackness, but it is really difficult to resist sugar-coated shells, except for the spiritual cleaner and those with special circumstances, who will resist a better way of entertainment.

But when it comes to combat power......... There have been hostile media reports that newcomers are addicted to games and don't work well, although it is not to the extent of mass production of abandoned houses, but it is really necessary to be a good seedling with a strong will and enough strength from a "devout disciple" to be a warrior, ahem, the virtual game world is still possible.

[No, they're just asking us for 'political donations.'" Well, political contributions. 】

Understood, now Rorschach really understands.

"Tsk, warlords ask capital for political donations to fight a civil war?"

[Well, and it's not the first time, the conditions given are very good, and the reorganized ministerial-level senior officials, state religions, and so on have all been said, but you also know it, the politician before he came to power was .......]

“…… That Chengruo is probably about the same credibility as the love words of a playboy one-night stand. If you believe it, you probably can't blame this promise for how beautiful it sounds, but you can only say that you want to be fooled. ”

Rorschach sighed a little, this world has become too fast, a few years ago, he and his party were showing their strength everywhere to attract investment, but now he has become the party invited to invest.

"Is it okay if you don't give it?"

[Yes, the agreement we had with Jiaocheng before confirmed the safety of our property, in the past few years, they didn't dare to break the contract, even if they really came to power, they would definitely be retaliated against by wearing small shoes, but we were not afraid of anything, just ......]

"It's a good opportunity to further expand our reach and scope, and it's a shame to miss it. ”

The businessman has achieved a certain level, and naturally has additional ideas, this is not only a personal ambition, sometimes it is also a means to protect his wealth and industry, and sometimes it is also a condition to further expand production and industry.

"You want to place a bet?"

[Well, if we develop further, it should be much more convenient if we have the official support of Horn City, and the labor there is very cheap and the market is very large, and several other churches seem to have bet on it. And even if you make a wrong bet, it's .....]

"There is no loss, anyway, we don't plan to intervene by force, just pay money, even if the bet fails, as long as we communicate more with the new official (plug the money), at least it is not very difficult to keep the situation unchanged." ”

Rorschach saw a lot of things very clearly, no matter who came to power later, he had to maintain a good relationship with New Tonia City in a short period of time, as long as he did not interfere with the interior of the corner city by force, even if the bet failed, there would not be much loss, and once it succeeded, the benefits would be great.

This kind of sure-the-money business is a bit silly if you don't do it.

Rorschach checked the information of the bigwigs and warlords in Corner City, and it was time to find a suitable investee.

Although there are about a dozen forces in Jiaocheng now, there are only three or five who really want to try to ascend to the position of city lord.

Zilil, the captain of the guard of the former city lord Sidion, is a warlord, has a lot of troops at hand, and has a very good relationship with New Tonia City.

It was he who took the initiative to invite the game church, after all, he had soldiers in his hands, and he also had a certain magic armor production line, so he was short of enough funds to riot soldiers.

And thinking about it on his knees, this guy can't just send this kind of invitation to the game church family.

After a long silence, Rorschach finally shook his head and turned his attention to the other candidates.

Our advisory group said that he had a high chance of success, after all, he had soldiers and connections left by the old city lord to support him. 】

“…… I've seen this guy, I interviewed him when I came to Tonya, don't look at the happy smile on his face, the killing intent in his stomach, or all the Ash people, much more extreme than Sidion's back then. ”

Putting down the file, Rorschach rubbed his eyebrows, if there is this example, it is obviously not possible to just look at the information, and then some are busy.
