Infinite Survival: I Can Plunder Passive Skills - Chapter 226
[226 Developing Believers, Gifts]
“We have to find a way to attract more believers.”
The power of belief of the female ghost in red alone is far from meeting Zhou Chen’s needs. He wants more power of belief, not only to meet the needs of the self-sustaining of the godhead and fire, but also to provide him with the power of belief. Extra divine power for personal use.
Otherwise, he has been busy for so long, and everything will be in vain, meaningless.
“Shut up… oh no, who are you leading to believe in me… My name has been anchored in the Lord of Mercy, and I have to find a way to get more people to provide me with the power of faith…”
Thinking quickly in his heart, Zhou Chen felt that this question was a bit tricky.
As an outsider, although he has been relatively familiar with the world during this period of gathering information, when it comes to stealing believers, he is far inferior to the indigenous gods who have been working in this world for a long time.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn’t come up with a good solution, and finally he could only do some routine operations:
“It’s better to fool those children… Adults have complicated minds, and it is difficult to handle…”
With a certain idea, Zhou Chen went out and started to go to the slums of the city.
He had been there last time, and he had also treated a sick little girl there, paving the way for the Lord of Mercy in this world.
After crossing the relatively secluded residential area of the wealthy, passing through the bustling urban area, and passing through the simple ordinary residential area, Zhou Chen arrived at his destination in no time.
Through the perception of thirst for blood, he quickly found his target, the marginal people in the city: a group of lonely children, or little beggars.
“You bastard! Stay away from my sister!”
When Zhou Chen arrived, something unpleasant was happening in this dilapidated place.
I saw an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy who was pushing away a middle-aged man in his forties dressed as a businessman in front of him, and protested loudly.
Behind him was his seven- or eight-year-old sister who was shivering in tattered clothes.
“Ten copper pools are not enough to change your sister?! I think you are fascinated by the greedy demon! You must accept justice!”
The middle-aged businessman who was pushed away by the boy was obviously very dissatisfied with his violent reaction, with a sullen face, as if ready to use violence.
“Don’t talk nonsense, you villain! Even if you pay ten gold pears, I won’t sell my sister to you!”
Facing the middle-aged businessman who seemed to be robbing him, the boy was not afraid. While rebutting, he opened his thin arms and used his weak body to guard his sister behind him like a hen protecting her cubs.
“Isn’t this the brother and sister from the other day?”
Zhou Chen could see at a glance that he was in conflict with the middle-aged man who looked like a businessman. It was the pair of brothers and sisters he had rescued a few days ago. Near the pair of brothers and sisters, he could still see some other children he had seen before. , These children hid in the trash-like shack, daring not to interfere, they only dared to show up and observe secretly.
“Have the opportunity.”
The scene in front made Zhou Chen see the opportunity to harvest believers, so he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the middle-aged businessman’s neck from behind, lifted him up, and faced himself.
“get out.”
Zhou Chen’s words were concise and concise, his face was calm, and he threw the middle-aged man aside.
This middle-aged man was suddenly held and wanted to resist, but he found that he couldn’t do it at all, and the person who came to deal with him was luxuriously dressed, with good strength, and he looked like some identity, so he forcibly stopped the attack, He crawled up from the ground with resentment, his eyes flashed with resentment, and he didn’t know what he was thinking about.
Zhou Chen originally didn’t want to pay attention to this person, but his perception was so sharp, this person’s resentful expression made him feel a little troublesome, so he suddenly turned to face the middle-aged man again, approached him in an instant, and stretched out his hand again. Catch him and throw him out.
Only this time, he threw him high in the distant sky, turned into a meteor, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
This kind of operation suddenly shocked the brother and sister who watched the whole process. The sister was okay, but just stared in a daze. The boy was exaggerating. He opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Chen, almost forgot breathe.
“Okay, the annoying person has left, little friend, is your sister’s body recovering well?”
Throwing the middle-aged man to the horizon, Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at the pair of siblings with a smile on his face.
“You…you killed him…”
The boy turned a blind eye to Zhou Chen’s smiling face, but instead said to Zhou Chen with a trembling body.
“Yeah, I heard the will of my Lord and destroyed that villain. Don’t worry, this is nothing, and nothing will involve you.”
Zhou Chen’s outrageous throwing operation just now will undoubtedly lead to the death of the middle-aged man. After all, he is just an ordinary person and is destined to fall into mud in a corner.
But Zhou Chen has no pressure on this, because this world is not Blue Star, and the rules are very different. For a person with strength and money like him, no one will care about such an operation.
Regarding Zhou Chen’s words, the boy was speechless for a while, as if he didn’t know how to answer, Zhou Chen continued:
“I came here this time to introduce you to my Almighty Lord, the Redeemer of all things in the world…”
He pulled out a bunch of prepared words and began to fool these children into believing in him.
Of course, he didn’t just rely on one mouth, he also brought them some bread and other food, and made a little guarantee:
“The great and merciful Lord will not give up anyone who is in trouble. As long as you truly believe in Him, you will be blessed by Him, and as a faithful believer of our Lord, I will also give some help…”
Zhou Chen’s words didn’t sound very clever, and seemed a bit blunt, but fortunately he was facing a bunch of lonely children, it was easier to fool around, and coupled with some material temptations, he didn’t let these in a while. The children who came to share the bread made a verbal pledge and resolved to convert to the merciful Lord.
“Very well, as long as you sincerely believe in the great and merciful Lord, the days will gradually improve.”
Zhou Chen finished the bread he brought over at this moment, and said with a smile on his face, he was a little guilty in his heart wondering if this operation was useful.
“These children’s beliefs don’t seem to be fought for by gods. It should be that their level is too low, and the power of belief that they can provide is extremely rare… Maybe I can’t collect much of the power of belief even if I turn all of them into my own believers.”
Zhou Chen gradually learned based on what he had seen and heard these days and the information he had collected, that the power of faith that each believer could provide to the gods was different. The power of faith was not only related to the piety of believers, but also to believers Its own level, that is, strength has a significant relationship.
For a silver-level existence like the red-clothed female ghost, even if only one person believes in him, he can gain a bit of divine power by calcining his beliefs, but these children, Zhou Chen feels that if they add up, they should not be able to keep up with the red-clothed female ghost.
But Zhou Chen doesn’t have many options at the moment. He is an outsider, so he can’t be too presumptuous for the time being. He should first collect these tiny beliefs to practice his hands.
After fooling around for a while, Zhou Chen decided to leave, and wanted to go shopping elsewhere to see if there were some opportunities.
But as soon as he turned around, a childish voice stopped him:
“My lord, I have a request!”
It was the boy among the siblings. Zhou Chen was a little puzzled when he heard the words. He turned around and looked at him:
“What is your request? Say it, and if necessary, I will ask my Lord for His grace on your behalf.”
In front of these children, Zhou Chen tried his best to maintain the image of his god’s messenger, and said words that made him feel a little long-winded.
Seeing Zhou Chen turn around with the same smile on his face, the boy gathered up his courage and looked up and said to him:
“Master God, I want to become stronger! I want to become as strong as you! Can the great Lord of Mercy help me?”
“This kid has a lot of appetite…”
After listening to the boy’s words, Zhou Chen’s expression was as usual, but his heart moved, and he had an idea:
“Hehe, little John, I am able to have today’s strength, and it was only bestowed by my belief in my Lord for many years. You are still too young to think about ascending to the sky in one step, but gradually improve yourself.”
Zhou Chen first told him that it was wishful thinking to catch up with him directly, and then tempted:
“But my lord will never abandon his loyal believers. If you can organize everyone to pray for my lord in the next three days, my lord will definitely give you a chance to improve.”
“Opportunities for improvement? How strong can I get?”
The boy named John lit up and asked again.
“How strong? This is uncertain, it depends on your devotion to my lord… If you are devout enough, my lord should give you power far beyond that of an adult man.”
Zhou Chen didn’t say anything too deadly, but just told him that the more devout he is, the greater the gift from the Merciful Lord.
“Enough! With such power, I can protect my sister and everyone!”
After listening to Zhou Chen’s remarks, John immediately became interested. He had already had enough of his weakness and wanted to grow up quickly. Now that the gods were willing to give him gifts, he felt that his life was full of hope.

“Well, you have organized everyone to pray to my Lord these days, and I will come back three days later.”
After saying this, Zhou Chen disappeared in front of these children like a bubble, causing their faces to show a look of amazement again.
In fact, the effect of this was just that Zhou Chen used the stealth ability of the sneaky shoes, so that he could maintain a mysterious impression in front of these children and make them trust him more.
“It’s so troublesome to develop believers… If only one monster could be killed, there would be one more believer…”
At this time, Zhou Chen had returned to his house. He felt that he was a little irritable after tossing for so long just now. It would be more suitable for him to practice qigong or fight monsters.
So for the next three days, Zhou Chen devoted himself to cultivation again, concentrating on practicing the Eight Desolate Panlong Xuan Gong.
During this period, he called out the red-clothed female ghost, Xiaohong, and handed it over to the trick mirror, so that he could pay attention to the situation of those children during the interval between prayers.
The trick mirror has a very strong detection ability. Zhou Chen is very aware of the direction of those children’s activities, so he can monitor them through the trick mirror and find out whether they are concentrating on praying.
three days later.
“The Eight Wilderness Zhenli of the earth attribute has been developed. This attribute has both offensive and defensive capabilities, has control capabilities, and can also provide a lot of power bonuses.”
Zhou Chen feels that his current practice is getting more and more interesting. Even if he encounters some bottlenecks in the cultivation process, he can successfully break through with his constant pondering.
After dispersing the khaki-yellow Eight Desolate True Power covering his body, Zhou Chen then asked the red-clothed female ghost Xiaohong not far from the courtyard:
“Xiaohong, have those children prayed seriously these days?”
Seeing his question, Xiaohong immediately answered him through a spiritual connection.
“Less than half lasted for three days? The one named John is the most serious?”
Thinking about Xiaohong’s feedback, Zhou Chen then followed the connection between himself and the godhead in the necklace on his chest, looking for the voices of those children’s prayers.
But for some reason, he could only perceive the prayers of the red-clothed ghost in the past few days through his godhead, and he did not find any trace of the prayers of those children.
“Are they too weak to be received by me…”
Zhou Chen had some expectations for this, and then he checked the power of belief and divine power, and found that it was no different from when there was only a red-clothed female ghost as a believer.
“It seems that the power of faith provided by weak beings is extremely rare…or none at all.”
Zhou Chen frowned slightly. Although this fact was within his expectations, the difference in the output of believers’ beliefs was too great, which made him feel the difficulty of being a god.
“But that kid can persist in praying for three days, it’s okay, after all, he’s just a child.”
Zhou Chen left John this task just to test him and let him get something through hard work.
Otherwise, Zhou Chen can give it to him directly, it is not so troublesome at all.
After thinking about it in his heart, Zhou Chen started continuous mirror jumps through the trick mirror in the hand of the red-clothed female ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the shabby place where poor children lived.
After a while, he found John, the boy who was still in the broken shed with his eyes closed, constantly scratching his chest with the character of kindness he taught. Beside him, his sister also prayed the same way.
“John, my lord has known your piety.”
When Zhou Chen opened his mouth, John immediately woke up from his prayer state, and found that Zhou Chen had come, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“Master God! Is the great Lord willing to give me strength?”
He raised his head and looked at Zhou Chen with great anticipation.
“Ok,”
Zhou Chen nodded slightly, but then said solemnly,
“John, although you have been very pious these days, after all, your time to believe in our Lord is still short. According to the principle of fairness, if you want to receive gifts, you must offer some sacrifices.”
“What sacrifice?”
Hearing Zhou Chen say this, John immediately focused his attention, and his expression became a little nervous.
Zhou Chen began to tell him about it, telling him that there were two levels of sacrifices, which lost five years and ten years of life respectively.
“I am willing to offer ten years of life as a sacrifice!”
As soon as he heard that it was such a price, John immediately agreed. Because he was extremely young, the most important thing was time. If he lost ten years to gain strength, he was very willing.
“Okay, come with me, I’ll hold a ceremony for you to accept the gift of my lord right away.”
Seeing John’s agreement, Zhou Chen showed a smile, preparing for the next operation.
