Chapter 6 System Task Initiation
The news that if you put a stick of incense on the old man Liu, you can go to Liu's house for a free banquet began to spread in ten villages and eight miles.
In this world, there is no Internet, and there is no telephone, and the speed of news transmission is relatively lagging behind.
Moreover, at first, most people were skeptical and did not dare to try, for fear of being kicked out by the Liu family.
At noon, there were only dozens of people who brought incense to Liu's house for dinner.
Those dozens of people dared to come over and try it because it was the people of the Liu family who told them the news, and of course they believed it.
It's just that after this news has become second-hand news and third-hand news through their dissemination, the credibility is not so high.
The arrival of these dozens of people has added dozens of sources of strength to Liu Qing.
It's just that these dozens of people, each of them put on a piece of incense, and when that incense is burned, there will be no more power to provide it.
The incense they brought by themselves was not a long incense that could be burned for about an hour in the Liu family, but only for half an hour.
These are all outsiders, and the Liu family is only serving a meal, and it is impossible for them to ask them to burn incense again every once in a while.
However, no matter what, their arrival added a source of strength to Liu Qing.
For Liu Qing, it was still earned.
The dozens of people successfully ate the banquet with a stick of incense, and after leaving, the news spread.
In the evening, there were more people from the township and neighbors who came to eat, and there were four or five hundred, all of whom brought their families and mouths, and each of them had a piece of incense.
People from two or three nearby villages came.
In order to eat a free full meal, some people still work hard.
Even if there is not a single meat dish on the table, those vegetarian dishes are better than the dishes that ordinary people eat every day, and the oil and water are more sufficient, not to mention the white rice that is enough.
What surprised Liu Qing was that after this banquet in the evening, he actually got another reminder from the system, and a number appeared in front of him - 0.001%.
This reminder has nothing to do with incense, it has to do with giving merit.
Letting the poor people around them eat for free can be regarded as a small relief of the plight of their lives, which is judged by the system to be a matter of merit, and activates the upgrade task of the merit system.
Because of this proposal, Liu Qing made it, so the merit also belongs to him.
It's just that upgrading is not so easy, and providing a few hundred people to eat for free is just 0.001% of the task.
That's one in 100,000.
According to this algorithm, Liu Qing had to give tens of millions of poor people a free meal before he could complete the task of upgrading the system.
Liu Qing didn't know how big the Liu family was, but it was unlikely when he thought about it.
That's tens of millions of people!
However, it also gave him a path to upgrade the system.
As long as you have enough money and are willing to use that money for charity, you will eventually complete the system upgrade task one day.
"It seems that I have to find a way to make this Liu family make more money in the future." He thought so.
This merit system released the task for the first time, and it took the original host a hundred years to complete the task, but it was picked up by Liu Qing who had crossed over.
The difficulty of this system task can be imagined.
However, the reward for completing the quest is a godhead that can live forever.
This made Liu Qing feel quite worthwhile.
What kind of reward will there be for completing this system task and upgrading the system, Liu Qing doesn't know.
But he's looking forward to it.
He is now an immortal god, and he has the time to wait until the day when the system's mission is completed.
On his own, it was too difficult.
But with the support of the richest family in Gyeongju, he felt that it would not take too long to complete the task.
I was already thinking about how I could use the knowledge I learned in that world to help the Liu family gain more wealth.
He is from the earth, where it is a highly civilized world, and anyone who has read the online article knows that if you take a little scientific knowledge of that world, you can easily make a fortune in this backward world.
It's just that he searched for the knowledge he learned before crossing over, and then he was very depressed to find that he didn't even learn any knowledge to make money.
Burning glass to make mirrors can make money, he won't.
Distilling and purifying high-grade liquor can make money, and neither will he.
Da Steelmaking can make money, but he still won't.
He can make money making sugar, but he still can't.
As for high-level things like steam engines, electrical appliances, and semiconductors, he didn't understand them even more.
He knew the recipe for black powder, but it was doubtful whether this thing could make money.
After recalling for a long time, I didn't think of a good way, and I can only regret that I didn't study well when I was studying.
After going out of society, I worked as a security guard for a few years, and the knowledge I learned was how to be lazy at work.
This kind of knowledge is undoubtedly unprofitable in this world.
Obviously, we are in an Internet era where it is very convenient to learn knowledge, but I did not take advantage of the convenience of the Internet age to learn more knowledge, so I couldn't find a way to get rich, and I regretted it when I thought about it.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.
I can only think of other ways.
That night, the people sent by Liu Jide to buy incense sticks in the county seat all came back, bringing a team of carriages, which were full of incense sticks.
This time, they bought all the incense sticks in the county that could be used as standing incense.
There were long, short, thick, and thin, and there were several wagons piled up.
The carriage team was raised by the Liu family in the grain store opened in the county seat, and it usually transported grain from the countryside to the county seat, and this time it was used to transport incense.
These carts full of incense sticks finally solved the crisis of Liujia's incense sticks being consumed too quickly.
If you don't come at night, you won't have any incense to burn during the day tomorrow.
That night, the two brothers of the Liu family accumulated virtue and did good deeds until the second watch, and then they took turns to sleep, one for the first half of the night and the other for the second half of the night.
There are only these two sons outside the old man, and there must be a son present at the vigil, so this can only be the case.
If they keep up, in seven days, the two brothers will probably be able to go to the ground.
The same is true of their children and grandchildren, who did not keep them up all night as they did yesterday, but also took turns to rest.
What is vigil today will not be needed tomorrow.
You can also take a nap during the day.
At night, there is still incense.
Liu Qing felt that his divine power was getting stronger and stronger, and his consciousness was becoming more and more stable.
In the middle of the night, his consciousness left the coffin and drifted tentatively to the outside of the mourning hall.
Drifting out the door, an evening breeze hit.
His consciousness drifted for a moment, but it didn't blow away, nor did it blow away.
This made him happy.
Just yesterday, when he didn't get the incense offering, the breeze brought by the people in the room could blow his consciousness unsteadily, and he could only possess the dead.
Now that I have received so much incense to worship, I can face the wind of nature, which can be said to be a rapid progress.
He didn't know how much wind his current consciousness could face.
But at least the wind doesn't affect him much.
Finally, I don't have to be trapped in a coffin all the time.
Liu Qing decided to take this opportunity to go out and see what the world was like.
By the way, find Liu Jide, who went to sleep, try the effect of the newly unlocked Divine Skill Dream Craft, and then convey the spirit of the new instructions to him.
