What Do Their Dealings with the True God Have to Do with Me, Luo Chen?
If there is anything in the house that can be moved, it must be offered as a sacrifice to the True God.
Domestic animals like pack animals and dogs are not allowed to be left idle.
That must be offered to the True God.
Every villager eagerly offered up their family fortune, fearing they would be seen as disrespectful to the True God.
As for Luo Chen, there was no way he could be polite.
Since they are all dedicated to the True God, how can I be humble on behalf of the True God?
Whether it's clothes, shoes, or shovels and pickaxes, I'll take anything you offer.
After collecting the grain, Luo Chen started collecting money, and after collecting the money, he started collecting secondhand goods.
There weren't enough pack animals available, so Luo Chen had lunch in the village.
Of course, lunch was also True God.
In order not to delay the development plan of the new village, Luo Chen took the remaining supplies and left the village as soon as the new reinforcements arrived.
FrostNova, who was waiting outside the village, saw Luo Chen leading a row of poultry, as well as pots and pans hung with animal mounts.
This is terrible!
Even if we sold the entire Reunion Movement, we still couldn't afford it.
I don't know if it's due to lack of rest or high blood pressure.
FrostNova immediately lay down stiffly.
Until evening.
FrostNova had just woken up in her tent.
As soon as she woke up, she was surrounded by Yeti.
"This is terrible, Eldest Sister! The supplies Chief Luo brought back today are almost filling the entire valley!"
"If they return double the amount tomorrow, even selling all of us wouldn't be enough."
"Big sister, if this continues, the Reunion Movement will surely disintegrate."
"Yes, eldest sister, you have a good relationship with Chief Luo, why don't you go and persuade him?"
FrostNova wanted to say that her relationship with Luo Chen was just that of a normal superior and subordinate.
But now is not the time to concern ourselves with such sentimental things.
I need to have a serious talk with Luo Chen.
Even a true saint couldn't withstand such extravagant spending.
At the same time.
Luo Chen is writing a reply to the Empire.
"Sir, I have now rendezvoused with the advance team from Reunion Movement Headquarters."
"In order to establish a logistical base for the Reunion Movement headquarters, we launched attacks on cult organizations in nearby villages."
"We used forceful methods to inflame the hatred of the local people towards the Reunion Movement."
"And they seized their property for themselves."
"Here are the photos I took."
"We will continue with our current work and await further instructions from the Empire."
"Lermontov's report is complete."
After writing Lermontov's name, Luo Chen pasted all the photos he had taken at the camp onto the letter.
It contained all sorts of grains, pots and pans, as well as poultry and cooking oil.
If the Empire saw this, it would surely assume that the Reunion Movement was wreaking havoc on the nearby villages.
Because of his excellent performance in completing the task, he might even receive a further promotion or other rewards.
But no matter what he's given, Luo Chen will definitely not lose out.
Just as Luo Chen was putting the letter into the envelope, he suddenly felt a chill.
Without a doubt, FrostNova has arrived.
Outside the tent at this moment.
FrostNova placed her clenched fist against her chest and nodded seriously.
Luo Chen is a good person.
He is an important figure in the Reunion Movement.
As the first woman Luo Chen sent home, she had to make him think carefully.
He couldn't have failed to save the villagers who had been misled by the cult, and ended up getting himself involved as well.
FrostNova gently tapped outside the tent:
"Luo Chen, are you there?"
A moment later, Luo Chen's crisp voice came from inside.
"Please come in."
FrostNova pulled back the tent flap and found Luo Chen sitting at the table, holding a thick ledger in one hand and a teacup in the other.
The night wind passed by FrostNova, gently ruffling Luo Chen's stray hairs.
Luo Chen seemed oblivious to the sheer volume of supplies to be delivered tomorrow, continuing to hold his teacup, gently blowing on it before taking a small sip.
He put down the ledger, raised his eyes, and stared at FrostNova, at this country girl who was unaware of the complexities of city life.
"What do you need me for? If it's just a hug, I don't have time right now."
"No!" FrostNova exclaimed urgently.
"I was referring to the delivery of supplies tomorrow."
"If we send out such a large amount of supplies, we'll have nothing left in our camp."
"I see." Luo Chen didn't refute her, but simply nodded slightly.
"Regarding the supplies..." FrostNova breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Luo Chen seemed inclined to listen to her advice. "We should stop this meaningless giveaway."
"Okay." Luo Chen slammed the ledger on the table, then pointed at FrostNova.
"We'll do as you say. The double refund on the fourth day is no longer required."
FrostNova's face lit up with joy, and she was about to say that Luo Chen's decision was absolutely correct.
But then she realized that something seemed off.
FrostNova blinked and asked again, "What did you just say?"
"I agree with you, we're not giving away the double return on the fourth day."
Luo Chen walked to the opposite side of FrostNova, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Not seeing me off?" FrostNova's pupils widened instantly.
She then realized that something was wrong.
That means that if Luo Chen stops his activities, those who gave Luo Chen supplies will completely lose the supplies they entrusted to Luo Chen.
It's worth noting that some people even handed over their clothes in order to get double the supplies.
Basically, it's safe to say that after tonight, they won't have any food, or even a change of clothes.
Wouldn't that make them bandits?
"I... that's not what I meant!" FrostNova immediately protested.
However, Luo Chen turned the question around and asked him:
"Little White, so you mean we sell all the campsites and then give the villagers double the amount back, right?"
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted you to return the supplies so we wouldn't lose anything." FrostNova shook her head.
"So you mean you want them to continue believing in that unseen and intangible Ursus True God?"
"No."
FrostNova shook her head, as if she wanted to say something.
But she just couldn't grasp this logic.
Luo Chen watched as FrostNova's brain, which had never received compulsory education, was working at breakneck speed, and he was afraid she would burn out the CPU.
So he kindly guided:
"Little White, let me ask you, aren't those cult members who brainwash and exploit villagers despicable?"
"Yes," FrostNova nodded in agreement.
"Aren't those villagers who were misled both pitiful and infuriating?"
"Yes, that's right," FrostNova agreed.
"Do you want them to see the true nature of cults?"
"Mm." FrostNova nodded.
"That settles it then. If we leave these supplies behind, won't that make them see the true face of the cult and completely hate the Ursus True God?"
"Is that so..." FrostNova nodded, then immediately realized what she meant, her mouth agape. "But didn't we already make plans with them?"
Luo Chen stared at FrostNova and said solemnly:
"What does their agreement with the Ursus True God have to do with me, Luo Chen?"
Chapter 168 Ursus True God, where are you?
"As the head of the Reunion Movement, who upholds justice, I must fight against all cults."
"I am irreconcilably opposed to the Ursus True God; his agreement means nothing to me."
At this moment, Luo Chen's face showed no remorse for breaking his promise.
On the contrary, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sense of composure and calmness.
That was the power he gained from his absolute faith in and unwavering pursuit of justice.
Those villagers, if they didn't believe in cults or in some ethereal god...
How could they possibly offer sacrifices to the True God?
For someone so deeply entrenched in this situation, mere persuasion is useless.
They must be made to personally experience the harm of believing in evil gods.
Not giving them supplies would be a win-win situation.
They recognized the true nature of the cult, they obtained supplies, and everyone has a bright future.
"This is my resolve. Even if I have to endure your insults, I must save them!"
Luo Chen exuded an imposing aura, like a majestic mountain peak, as if he were doing something absolutely right.
Under Luo Chen's imposing aura, FrostNova instantly felt dwarfed.
She felt that she wasn't the kind of person who had come to advise Luo Chen.
Instead, she was a witch who bewitched Luo Chen.
"I won't scold you anymore." FrostNova, her conscience deeply troubled, completely deflated.
Luo Chen sighed:
"But I took all the villagers' resources and put them into our hands. After today, they not only can't afford to eat, they don't even have a pot left."
FrostNova blurted out, without even realizing her mistake, "There's no other way. We have to teach them a lesson; it's for their own good."
Luo Chen said with a bitter face:
