"Boom!"

There was another earth-shattering bang, and the tall furnace exploded, sending red iron slag and scorching coal flying everywhere, but not even a single bit of it landed on the big green jellyfish that was close at hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Sui Xiong had already put a trigger magic on himself in advance, once he was attacked, he would immediately transform into a virtual state. Although the power of the blast furnace explosion is amazing, it cannot harm the existence of a virtual body.

Of course, the Void cannot directly attack the existence of any entity, and the fact that it is "untouchable" is fair to each other.

After a while, the smoke and dust gradually subsided, and the blazing debris on the ground gradually cooled down, Sui Xiong changed from an imaginary body back to an entity, looking at the mess all over the ground, and sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" he muttered to himself, "I've improved it so many times, I think it's going to be fine......"

At that moment, he tilted his head slightly and heard a voice from Parin.

"My lord, today is the day of the retirement ceremony, please don't forget to attend. ”

He was stunned for a moment, wrenching his tentacles to calculate the time, only to realize that he had unconsciously forgotten the days again.

Ever since he had visited the frog elder, he had withdrawn the avatar and concentrated on studying the blast furnace, and before he knew it, so many days had passed.

If it weren't for Palin's reminder, maybe he would have really forgotten about the retirement ceremony. When the ceremony began and everyone prayed to him, he reacted and ran to the venue in disgrace...... That's a shame!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh a few times and hurriedly cleaned up. Rush to the Void Mask Playground.

The deities walked quickly, especially when they returned to their temples. A moment later. Sui Xiong had already arrived at the Void Kamen Temple, located in the southernmost part of the playground, to meet with the priests and priests who had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing your own gods descend. The priests and priests rejoiced, and they sang hymns excitedly, repeating the hymns that Leon had stolen from the Book of the Eagle God over and over again. If it weren't for Sui Xiong who couldn't stand it, let them stop, I'm afraid they would be able to keep singing.

These guys are not ordinary people, all of them are at least the level of intermediate adventurers, they are really full of energy, and their lung capacity is conservatively estimated to be more than 10,000, and they want to run to the earth. All of them are the king of swimming, and it is absolutely not a problem to dive out for 100 meters in one go. If they don't stop it, they just sing and sing for days and nights.

...... They can stand it, but Sui Xiong can't stand it!

At this time, on the square of the playground, a simple and solemn platform has been erected, the two hosts have come to the stage, and the guests who have been invited to watch the ceremony have taken their seats. There are also many curious tourists and residents gathered outside the guest seats, and there is a large area densely packed.

Waiters walk around the guest table like butterflies and flowers, serving fruits and drinks. The fruits are cut into pieces and stuck with toothpicks. It is convenient to eat, and the drinks are according to each person's taste, except that no spirits are served to avoid getting drunk. There are all sorts of other things.

Onlookers who did not have seats also benefited, and there were tables on both sides of the venue. Drinks and fruit products are provided. Of course, the texture and variety are far from those of the guests. After all, there is a difference between intimacy and distancing, and the principle of differential service is common in any world.

But this kind of welfare is enough to make people satisfied, a tourist from the southern country took a cup of drink made with the frost tree fruit that is a specialty of the ice and snow world, took a big sip, and said to his family with a smile: "This is in the restaurant, one cup costs two gold coins, take advantage of the free now, drink two more glasses!"

His son looked at his father with a Ruther look with disdain, and said, "Dad, why are you so concerned about money? Dilong meat skewers are usually available in limited quantities, but today they are actually infinitely available, of course, you should eat them all now!"

"Earth dragons are also demonic beasts after all, isn't it okay to eat too much?" asked the mother, who was holding a small cup of dessert, worried.

The father was stunned for a moment, looked at his son, who was eating energetically, thought about it, and smiled.

"If there's a problem, will they offer it in unlimited quantities?"

The son was very open-minded, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't there a pastor next to here, even if there is any problem with eating, it doesn't matter." ”

Situations like this abound, and it's rare to encounter such affordable benefits, and tourists are elated. Nearby residents also chose some of their favorite foods and waited while eating and drinking.

Although there were no seats, they were satisfied.

As for the guests, most of them were very knowledgeable, and even if the fruits and drinks offered at the Void Mask Playground were really high-end, they would only be slightly surprised at best, and they would never be so excited.

Of course, among the guests, there were some who were very excited and even shocked.

Let's say, Raif, them.

Reif's restless sitting in the guest seats looked around, and the guests around him knew at a glance that he was a big man, compared to him, he was just a worker, and his status was too different.

He always felt that he was sitting here, and it was a huge mistake. I was always worried that in the next moment, a big man would come over, grab him, and throw him far away into the ditch next to him.

The same was true of several workers in his vicinity, all of them fidgeting in fear and with panic on their faces.

"I always feel that something is not quite right......"

"yes, it's not appropriate for us to sit here, right?"

"Do you want to sneak to the back? I think it's good to stand and watch......"

Ferex, who had specially arranged Mrs. Teague to arrange her seat in front of them, heard their whispers, and was amused and angry, and turned to them and said, "Don't look down on yourselves so much! You must know that you have all been chosen to watch the ceremony as 'outstanding laborers,' and you may not look at you sitting under the stage today, and perhaps one day you will also ascend to the high platform as representatives and receive the honor of all people!"

Raif: They were stunned. You look at me, I look at you. Look at the simple but solemn high platform, and I don't believe it in my heart.

"Mayor Mare. Are you kidding us?" asked Reif, apprehensively.

Ferex couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Your eye sees that I'm joking? His Majesty the Void Mask attaches great importance to the promotion of workers, you are all the best workers, and it is indeed very likely that you will be recognized in the future." That's a sure thing. ”

"Yes...... But...... We're just some ordinary people......"

Ferex shook his head and pointed his finger to the sky: "Who is not an ordinary person in front of the gods?

Reif thought for a moment and whispered, "The difference is quite big, and those who have money can donate more money......

Ferex laughed, "Money? His Majesty the Void Mask doesn't care about that. The last thing He lacked was money...... You know what? Underground in this playground. There is a dragon who lives in a cave in the rock, and she is in charge of keeping the treasury for His Majesty. Guess how much money is in the vault?"

Reif and his companions looked at each other, and one of the workers cautiously guessed, "Ten thousand gold coins?"

The unit of "10,000" was something they had just learned during this journey, and before that, they had only counted with "five" and "ten" - most of the farmers were about the same, and it was good to be able to count to thirty without any mistakes, and those who could count to 100 were intellectuals, and they had no concept of it.

When the temporary teacher describes these concepts to them. They spent a lot of time understanding the concept and had the teacher give a number of examples over and over again.

But it is precisely because of this that they have a special awe for such a huge number as "10,000", whenever the word comes out of their mouths. I feel like I'm a little greater.

Ferex didn't have such thoughts, she smiled slightly, and shook her head: "Ten thousand gold coins is nothing! Re-guess. ”

Raif: They stared at each other blankly, "10,000" was already an unimaginably large number for them. That's too small, so how much money is stored in that underground vault!

Ferex saw their blank faces. They couldn't guess it, so he sighed and said, "I don't know the exact number, but last time I happened to have something to do and talked to the dragon guarding the vault." At that time, I saw that behind her, there were mountains of golden gold coins, at least three stories high, and I didn't go in to look closely, and I didn't know how far they extended. ”

Raif imagined such a picture, swallowed and foamed, and asked, "What about ...... How much is that?"

Ferex casually took out a gold coin and spread the small metal disc in the palm of his hand: "You see, a gold coin is so big. Piled up into a hill at least three stories high, how many gold coins would it be?"

She smiled and sighed softly, "I don't want to count, it will make me feel depressed." ”

Although she didn't care about money, she saw such a huge fortune, those untold amounts of gold that glittered in the light of the illuminated magic stone...... Whenever she thinks about it, she can't help but be fascinated, and she can't help but feel deep envy and jealousy of the dragon who was sleeping on the pile of gold coins with a futon in his arms.

(The guy...... It must be the happiest dragon in the world...... ）

Countless gold coins.

The concept left Raif at a loss, and they tried to imagine the huge mountain of gold, trying to calculate how much with the shallow mathematical skills they had just learned, but the calculation did not yield even a little results except for making themselves dizzy.

But it was also thanks to this calculation that their original nervousness was greatly relieved, and their mood finally calmed down a little.

“...... In short, don't worry and don't burden yourself. Seeing that it was almost noon and the ceremony was about to take place, Ferex whispered, "Eat when you are hungry and drink when you are thirsty." You probably don't understand the meaning behind this ritual for a while, so let's think you're here to eat white food. ”

"Is that okay?" asked Raif, worried.

"Didn't I just say that the Church of the Void Mask has money. ”

Thinking of the huge mountain of gold just mentioned, Raif and the others immediately relaxed, picked up fruits and drinks, and began to eat and drink.

They had eaten for a short time when the sun moved to the middle of the zenith.

On the high platform, the two hosts looked at the sky, nodded, and raised their wands at the same time, and the special wand emitted a soft light, sprinkling a burst of clear light, making every guest and audience feel refreshed.

"Void Mask Playground, the first employee retirement ceremony, starts now!"

These two hosts are from the Church of the Mask of the Void and the Church of the God of Wealth, and they are both veterans of the shopping mall, not only with good looks, but also with great eloquence. According to the outline prepared by Sui Xiong in advance, they designed a set of rhetoric, saying that the matter of "retirement" was extremely lofty, so that all the guests and the audience were awe-struck.

In their mouths, those old workers have exhausted their entire youth and all their energy for the construction and prosperity of the Void Mask Playground. Now that they are old and can no longer work as they did when they were younger, it is time for the playground to repay them.

According to Sui Xiong's regulations, every playground employee will automatically add a small amount of money to their personal pension account when he receives every salary. Over time, year after year, you will get a considerable amount of wealth.

The money will not be paid out in a lump sum when they retire, but will be paid out on an average monthly basis over a period of 10 years.

The reason why the time is set to ten years is because the average person in this world generally lives to be about sixty years old. If you retire at the age of 50, and when you reach the age of 60, it will be exactly 10 years.

Of course, there may be people who will not live to be sixty years old, and there may be people who will live beyond the age of sixty. Sui Xiong's approach to this is that if he does not live to the age of 60, the excess pension will be combined into the funeral expenses and distributed to his designated heirs, and those who live to the age of 60 do not worry, the playground has money, and does not care about paying for a few months or even dozens of months. Even if you have the ability to live to the age of 100, it is nothing more than an extra 480 months of pension, for Sui Xiong, he really doesn't care about this money.

When the hosts finished explaining the system formulated by Sui Xiong in detail, the audience was silent, and the guests and the audience were all stunned.

Not only that, but almost all the gods who paid attention to this ritual also fell into deep thought.

After a while, the goddess of spring water first issued an oracle asking the church to choose a region and try to learn from the practices of the Void Masquerade Church and implement a retirement pension system. Immediately after that, one good deity after another issued oracles and tried to learn from Sui Xiong's practice.

The gods have lived a long time and accumulated a wealth of experience. There are many things that they don't think of at first, but once there are examples in front of them, they can quickly sort out the clues in the middle, analyze the pros and cons, and draw conclusions that are beneficial to them.

The retirement pension system proposed by the Void Mask may seem to increase expenses at first glance, but it can greatly enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of the church, and enhance the status of the church in the hearts of ordinary people.

When a person knows that he can provide for his old age, he will of course be grateful to the church that provides this benefit. Not only that, but things in the world are not unequal but not widowed, some churches can provide retirement pensions, some churches cannot, and the people will naturally have tendencies and will naturally make choices that are beneficial to them.

This is the greatest benefit of this system for the good gods! )
