Terrifying Divine Service Rating, First in the Province!

Inside the booth, the staff member reluctantly pressed two porcelain plates connected by wires against Lu Chen's arm.

"All right, you can channel your divine power now."

Lu Chen sensed the faint divine power within his body and forced it into the porcelain plates.

Very soon, the public display above the booth began collecting and analyzing the data.

Lu Chen stared at the screen, his heartbeat quickening.

Li Ruoyi was the same.

Song Hao, who had caught up from behind, along with several onlookers who loved a spectacle, all fixed their eyes on the screen as well.

A line soon appeared on the display: "Emperor Wenchang: 0.5%."

"Ah, such a low Divine Service Rating?"

The worshippers were all stunned.

With just one stick of incense, he had received a blessing from an obscure deity.

Yet as a student, his Divine Service Rating with Emperor Wenchang, whom he mainly worshipped, was this low?

It was simply unbelievable.

"What's so strange about that? He's always been the dead last in our class."

Song Hao folded his arms and sneered.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, he still refused to believe that the golden rain earlier had been summoned by Lu Chen.

"This guy must be lying! But before absolute data, lies can't stay hidden."

Lu Chen completely ignored the noise behind him and stared at the screen.

"Strange, why is Lord God of Wealth's Divine Service Rating rising so slowly?"

Li Ruoyi explained beside him, "Don't rush. It's your first time worshipping a new god, so the collection and analysis will take a little longer."

Lu Chen nodded.

Yet another full half minute passed.

Even the staff member inside the booth was baffled. Frowning, he said, "Why is it taking so long? Is the machine broken?"

"Hahaha, how could the machine be broken? Obviously, he has no Divine Service Rating at all! I told you this punk was lying, but you didn't believe me. You believe me now, right?"

Seeing that Lord God of Wealth's Divine Service Rating had failed to appear for so long, Song Hao immediately acted as though the sky had cleared after rain and he was on top again.

"Bullshit. If he had no Divine Service Rating, the system would've reported it already. You think you're so clever, you idiot?"

Before anyone else could retort, the staff member lashed out at Song Hao.

Lu Chen: "..."

Not bad. It seemed the service standards were consistent everywhere.

"It's out!"

At that moment, Li Ruoyi shouted, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

A line rapidly appeared on the screen:

--[Lord God of Wealth: 5%]

BOOM!!!!

Everyone present stared with their eyes wide open.

Even Lu Chen himself could hardly believe the number.

"5%?! That high?!"

He had thought 2% or 3% would be the absolute limit. He had never expected the actual figure to be double that!

If it were anyone else, who knew how much money they would have to spend to reach such a Divine Service Rating?

"My god, on your very first worship, you raised your Divine Service Rating to this level. Kid, you hit the jackpot! I've worked here for five years, and this is the first time I've seen such a freakish rate of improvement."

The staff member was dumbfounded. When he came back to his senses, he stood up in excitement on the spot.

He had raised it to 5% in one shot.

This result was absolutely an explosive case worthy of banners and publicity.

If word got out, the incense fire business of their Zhao Clan Temple would definitely soar!

Behind them, Song Hao saw this and was so frightened that he collapsed onto the floor. "H-how much? 5%?!"

That glaring 5% Divine Service Rating was like a resounding slap across his face, leaving him utterly dazed.

Li Ruoyi covered her mouth too, her lovely eyes widened to the greatest extent they ever had.

"5%!! Th-this is impossible! Is this obscure deity really that amazing? Lu Chen, just how did you do it?"

"I don't know either. I just worshipped according to the normal process!"

Lu Chen peeled the equipment off his arm. He definitely could not reveal the secret incantation for inviting gods or the related ritual.

That was his greatest secret.

Still, a 5% increase in one go was truly explosively insane!

Inside the booth, the staff member's attitude took an obvious one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

"Young man, with the speed at which your Divine Service Rating soared, I'm afraid that in all of Jiangdu City—no, in all of Jiang Province—you're the most freakish one this year.

Congratulations. Our Zhao Clan Temple has rules: in special cases like yours, there are additional rewards. This is a five-thousand-yuan bonus. Please sign here."

The staff member handed over a document. At the top were the words: Special Commendation Regulations.

Lu Chen froze. "There's even a reward like this?"

He gave it a quick look and found that it was just an ordinary commendation contract. So, without hesitation, he signed it and accepted the five thousand yuan from the other man—every bill was a standard one-hundred-yuan denomination, making up a thick stack.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. You earned it. You're welcome to come to Zhao Clan Temple for blessings often in the future."

"All right, definitely!"

As he happily stuffed the money into his pocket, Lu Chen could not help marveling at how powerful the blessing was.

In just this short while, he had gotten fifteen thousand yuan.

One had to know that in this world of deities, most people's salaries were about the same as in his previous life.

They hovered around three or four thousand, or four or five thousand. Earning over ten thousand was already quite a good level.

Fifteen thousand was at least two or three months of income for an ordinary person.

"No wonder so many people fight tooth and nail for blessings. The results come too fast, and they're too fierce!"

With that thought in mind, Lu Chen turned to Song Hao, who lay on the ground looking utterly lost, smacked his lips, and said, "How did that saying go again? When fortune comes, nothing can stop it. Classmate Song, do you believe it now?"

Song Hao's mouth opened and closed, but he could not say a word.

"All right, digest this properly. I'm leaving. Remember to read more books in the future. There are plenty of gods you don't know about!"

Patting Song Hao on the shoulder, Lu Chen walked out of the temple by himself.

Li Ruoyi followed him as well. "Song Hao, I can go home by myself. Goodbye!"

Watching the two leave the temple one after the other, Song Hao felt as though he had lost the whole world.

"Impossible! That obscure god can't be this effective. I don't believe it!"

The worshippers from earlier had already swarmed to the incense counter the instant Lu Chen's Divine Service Rating appeared, buying incense for Chai Rong, Lord God of Wealth.

Refusing to accept it, Song Hao sprang to his feet. "No, I have to try too!"

At the temple entrance.

Li Ruoyi walked beside Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, did you use some special method? Is that why you were so confident earlier?"

"Really not, sis. I only had one stick of pure incense. What method could I possibly have?"

"Who are you calling sis?"

Li Ruoyi angrily put her hands on her hips.

"All right, all right, little miss. I really didn't."

"That's more like it." Li Ruoyi clasped her fists. "But congratulations anyway, Lu Chen. You gained so much today. A 5% Divine Service Rating is enough to lord it over the entire school. When the time comes, even the teachers will be dumbfounded. It's truly terrifying!"

Lu Chen did not deny it.

Li Ruoyi's Divine Service Rating ranked among the top three in their class.

And even hers was still below 3%.

One could imagine what 5% meant!

"By the way, when you worshipped Emperor Wenchang earlier, how did you know you hadn't reached 3% before the test results came out?"

Lu Chen suddenly remembered this.

Li Ruoyi raised the watch on her wrist.

"This. It's a newly released product from Starsea Group, specially made to test Divine Service Ratings. As long as the rating is below 30%, it can detect it."

"Good stuff. How much?"

"Well... it's a little expensive. Sixty-three thousand."

Lu Chen: "..."

"All right, looks like the rumors weren't wrong. You really are a little rich girl."

"No, my family hasn't even advanced to New Nobility. How could I count as rich?"

Li Ruoyi blushed.

[New Nobility] was a key classification rank for families in various regions.

Only when a family advanced to [New Nobility] could it be considered a true local powerhouse.

And every family that advanced to [New Nobility] would be announced in the newspapers. There was no hiding it even if they wanted to.

From that perspective.

Li Ruoyi was not wrong to say she was not rich.

Lu Chen glanced at the sky. "It's getting late. I'm heading back first."

"All right, I'm leaving too. See you next Monday, big winner."

"Okay!" Lu Chen laughed.

After seeing Li Ruoyi off.

Lu Chen touched his bulging pocket and sighed. "I can finally afford to buy meat!"
