Whether they were devout believers in the True God or observers with a "let's give it a try" mentality, everyone participated to some extent.

Luo Chen stood in the center of the square, his eyes calm and profound, like a saint without desires.

When he first arrived at the village, he brought only a bag of grain as an offering.

Now, as he prepared to leave, he found himself holding three bags of grain.

These three bags of grain contain a variety of crops, including wild vegetables, buckwheat, and corn. Each grain embodies the villagers' faith and hopes.

However.

FrostNova looked at the three bags of grain, but felt no joy at all.

Because she knew that Luo Chen would return double the amount of grain tomorrow.

What to do if your boss is too extravagant?

Father, what should I do?

Chapter 166 This is what it means to believe in false gods. (36)

Leave this village.

Luo Chen then took FrostNova to the next village.

The same doubts, the same embraces, and then the same True God reward.

"Oh dear... is this bowl of rice alright?"

I offer a basket of wild vegetables.

"I will offer ten catties of corn."

"High Priest, what time will you be coming tomorrow? Will you be staying tonight?"

"I need to go back and pray to God. Don't worry, believers, we'll meet again at the same time tomorrow."

The same scene is playing out everywhere, with the True God giving back and blessing every believer in the True God Church.

By evening, Luo Chen and FrostNova, their legs worn out from running, had finally covered all five villages.

Now Luo Chen finally understood what the divine physician Xiong Fengshan had said.

There are too many chives; I couldn't possibly harvest them all even if I ran myself ragged.

It must be submitted to the organization for mass production.

So Luo Chen handed over the villages that hadn't promised his presence to his subordinates for delivery, while he and FrostNova went to develop new villages.

The next day, in the morning.

Luo Chen returned to the first village where he had agreed to be present the day before.

As soon as we entered the village, no one even needed to look for us.

Everyone who had offered sacrifices yesterday came, and other clever people who hadn't offered sacrifices also joined in out of curiosity.

They didn't believe that the True God could be so generous in bestowing blessings upon everyone.

After all the villagers had gathered...

This is where the much-anticipated cashback comes in.

"Brandon, a faithful follower of God, you offered twenty catties of buckwheat yesterday, which is equivalent to four catties of rice."

"By the grace of the great Ursus True God, I reward you today with eight pounds of finely milled rice."

The man called out by Luo Chen immediately raised his hand excitedly, then pushed aside the villagers in front of him and walked up to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen, holding the bag of weighed rice, interviewed Brandon for his thoughts:

"How is our great Ursus True God?"

Brandon said excitedly:

"The True God is the greatest, most merciful, and most loving being on this earth, and I will forever follow in the footsteps of the True God."

"Very well, let us praise the Ursus True God."

After Luo Chen led the way in praising the True God, it was the next person's turn.

"Bancroft, you offered two grains of rice to the True God yesterday, and today you are returned four grains of rice."

Because of the contrast with Brandon, who had just received eight pounds of rice, Bancroft's expression was extremely unpleasant.

He now deeply regrets not offering more grain as a sacrifice yesterday.

Besides, it's not like he doesn't have twenty kilograms of buckwheat at home.

I regret it, I really regret it.

What made him even more uneasy was that after giving him four grains of rice, Luo Chen asked him for his thoughts.

What do you think of our great Ursus True God?

Bancroft lowered his head and sighed:

"I am ashamed... I admit that it was wrong of me to have doubts about the gifts of the True God yesterday."

"I should not doubt the greatness of the True God."

"It's alright, the True God will forgive every lost lamb. Next."

One by one, the villagers whose names were called stepped forward to receive the True God's reward.

Luo Chen patiently interviewed each of them about their feelings.

Those who offered more grain yesterday were naturally overjoyed, while those who offered less were filled with regret.

And so, everyone found themselves caught between extreme emotions of joy and regret.

Luo Chen began the second day of True God training.

"Praise True God! I am the most faithful believer, and I will hand over all eight pounds of rice."

"I need to hand over twenty catties of buckwheat and a three-catty piece of cured meat."

"I will hand over 100 jin of corn and 20 jin of buckwheat."

Me too.

FrostNova was so heartbroken by what she saw that she couldn't bear to watch.

"Too much, too much! You should reduce the number of sacrifices..."

Several villagers, hearing FrostNova's trembling mutterings, realized they hadn't originally intended to donate much.

But I made up my mind in an instant.

The reason this person is so distressed is probably because she's afraid the benefits will fall into our hands and she won't get any.

This later believer seems to have impure motives.

That's understandable, since the curse on her hasn't been thoroughly cleansed by the high priest yet.

Only when the High Priest infuses her with the energy of the True God will she truly understand the greatness of the Ursus True God.

Under FrostNova's pained gaze, more and more villagers handed over all their stored grain.

Even the villagers who had previously disbelieved in the True God were now hesitant.

Want to give it a try?

Just give it a try, you might make a profit yourself!

The crowd was even more enthusiastic on this day than the day before.

One after another, villagers brought out their surplus grains to offer as sacrifices to the True God.

You won't know until you receive it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Luo Chen had originally wondered what the empire's tax collectors could possibly find by scrutinizing the land in these villages every day.

As a result, Luo Chen collected fifty bags of grain on the very second day.

Each bag weighs an average of twenty kilograms; fifty bags would make one ton.

That's enough to feed Luo Chen's previous base for a whole day.

And this doesn't even represent the villagers' true potential.

And so, Luo Chen, laden with grain, headed to the next village amidst the cheers of the villagers.

The amount of grain harvested on the second day was twenty times greater than that on the first day.

Luo Chen was very satisfied with his results and went to sleep after dinner.

However, FrostNova was so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep.

However, the third day was even more painful.

When a whole truckload of food was piled up at the camp, FrostNova felt like dying.

On the fourth day, Luo Chen delivered two truckloads of food to the villagers.

FrostNova was so frightened that she didn't dare to look.

She feigned an upset stomach and hid in the woods outside the village, fearing that Luo Chen would bring back more food.

And in the village.

Luo Chen accepted the award in the same way as he had in the previous days.

However, compared to the first time he received the prize, this time the feedback period has increased fivefold.

It took an hour to count all the grain before it was distributed.

Finally, thanks to Luo Chen's efforts, all the grain was distributed to the villagers.

However, when Luo Chen looked up, he saw the greedy and frenzied expressions on the villagers' faces.

They clutched the grain tightly in their hands, as if afraid someone would steal it.

Their eyes were filled with a desire and greed for more wealth, but at the same time, they also revealed an abnormal fanaticism.

Luo Chen knew they were sick.

This is the consequence of believing in the Ursus True God.

However, from today onwards, there's no need to be afraid anymore.

Because there will never be another Ursus True God.

"Praise be to the great Ursus True God!"

"Today is the last day to enjoy the blessings of the True God, and also the most generous day for the Ursus True God."

"The True God has sent down the gospel, saying that whatever believers offer sacrifices today will be returned double."

"Of course, people are an exception."

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, the villagers went completely crazy.

The fact that True God can provide them with food is already enough to inspire worship.

Now that everything can be returned, what are you waiting for?

All in!

Chapter 167 What does their agreement with the True God have to do with me, Luo Chen? (37)

In order to obtain the final gift from the True God.

All the villagers went crazy.

They not only handed over the grain they had just received, but also came out from home carrying large and small bundles.

Human desires are limitless.

Once you have food, you want clothes; once you have clothes, you want money.

Once you have money, you want furniture.

These villagers not only brought out all their valuables, such as salt, oil, and sugar, but they didn't even leave behind pots, pans, or other household items.
