Chapter 615 Funeral Ceremony (Added)
The scarab said: "The exchanges between Dog City and the Kingdom of Resurrection were initially the trade of [Undead Sealing Mud], then the exchange of various commodities, and later the response to the riots of the old gods in Dog City. The cooperation between Dog City and the Yao Clan civilization is becoming more in-depth and close, and the trust between each other is constantly strengthened in this process."
"This time in response to the external threat of Dog City, Lord Yao showed unparalleled battlefield dominance. Without your efforts to turn the tide, Dog City's external counterattack strategy will completely fail. And as a result, the opening time of Dog City must be further pushed back..."
"Whether it is strength, reputation or style, Lord Yao, you are respected. Dog City extends a sincere and formal invitation to you, hoping that you can reach a joint external defense alliance with Dog City..."
...
Lu Yao carefully read the scarab's request.
The so-called Dog City Protector is to help them stand up and calm down when dealing with conflicts between external gods outside Dog City.
In fact, it is national defense outsourcing.
The Dog City only retains the force to maintain internal order, and the external military defense is contracted to the Yao Clan Civilization.
If it encounters a huge crisis and hidden danger like the Whistleblower, the Dog City will turn to the Yao Clan Civilization for strategic deterrence or direct attack.
"The Dog City knows that Lord Yao God does not like to make a big fuss or be high-profile, so we also hope that these things will be done in a non-public way."
"Only when we encounter a difficult problem that cannot be solved independently and need to seek help from external forces, the Dog City will ask you to take action. We will hire other gods to carry out military operations like this time, but you are the most trusted and key core of ours, and the reward you pay will be far more than them."
"I think this will not only not attract attention, but also reduce and share risks and pressures."
The agent of the scarab continued: "In addition to paying the expenses and remuneration for each operation, we will also continue to pay back to you, our best friend and ally."
Lu Yao fell into deep thought.
Dealing with the whistleblower is special. It is not only a military business order, but also a personal grudge.
It's different in front of me.
The intention of the Dog City is to build a long-term military alliance.
This means that there may be many more troubles like whistleblowers in the future, and Lu Yao needs to deal with them one by one.
In the Crawling Zone, people are supposed to have a leisurely life. If they do this, there will be more troubles, and they will definitely cause many disputes and grievances in the Leaping Zone.
—— Not interested.
Lu Yao refused.
This seemed to surprise the Scarab: "Please listen to the conditions given by the Dog City first."
"Regardless of whether we encounter external disputes and difficulties, we will pay you a conventional defense military expenditure of no less than 1 million every 10 years. When external actions are required, we will ask for your opinion. If you agree, we will act, and the specific costs and expenses can be discussed."
—— Not interested.
Lu Yao copied and pasted.
It's not a matter of money. It's just fun to fight occasionally.
Everyone is just a one-time financial relationship, and there is no need to be responsible for each other. If it turns into long-term military outsourcing, there will be too many things.
Maybe some forces like to be fathers and garrisons, but not themselves.
Lu Yao felt that the scarab had misunderstood him deeply.
The other party was still unwilling to give up: "The price can be negotiated. We can negotiate. Whatever you ask for, we can negotiate. We will do everything we can to make this happen. Canine City came with absolute sincerity."
Lu Yao yawned.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Lu Yao got up and went to the door to get the takeaway of fermented rice dumplings and scallion pancakes.
This combination is perfect for summer.
He washed his hands first, then opened the takeaway box, ate a bite of fermented rice with the pancake, and then looked at the screen.
On the screen, many words appeared above the scarab's head.
It seemed to think that the offer was too low.
Lu Yao felt strange.
Why did the scarab think that he would definitely agree?
It didn't make sense.
It licked until it had nothing left. Didn't it understand this truth?
Just when Lu Yao was about to refuse again, he suddenly saw a line of words.
"Then how about this? For every god's body that Dog City obtains from the outside world and completes a funeral ceremony, it will pay you, Lord Yao, one-third of the proceeds."
"In other words, as long as Dog City can purchase three god's bodies with godhood, it can give you one godhood. The cost of purchasing all the gods' bodies will be borne by Dog City. This is the biggest bargaining chip that Dog City can give now. What do you think?" said the scarab.
Lu Yao, who was eating a cake, frowned and realized that the situation was not simple.
God's body, funeral ceremony, three god's bodies for one godhood?
——Tell me about it.
Seeing that the situation seemed to have taken a turn for the better, the mummy immediately began to explain actively.
"Lord Anubis created the [Dog City]. This world was created based on the mythical wonder of the [Dog City]. Its most important function is the [Funeral Ceremony]."
"This ability is to embalm the corpse into a mummy, further preserve the corpse for a long time, and place it in a tomb, from which all internal things including the internal organs can be stripped out."
"The funeral ceremony can be effective for all corpses, removing all unnecessary parts from the corpse... For the corpse of the god, it includes the godhood and very few strippable powers."
"After the death of the title god or the main god, the godhood will naturally fall off from the body of the god. But the gods are different. The godhood will be firmly integrated with the bodies of the gods, and will be annihilated and disappeared with the bodies of the gods. The unique ability of the [Funeral Ceremony] can strip out the godhood."
Lu Yao was stunned.
Damn it.
It turns out that this is how Inucheng’s large reserves of divine power came from!
Good guy!
Dog City collects various corpses. On the one hand, it may be Anubis's personal preference. On the other hand, this in itself can continue to make huge profits.
The funeral industry for gods is also incredibly profitable.
Scarab added: "However, to collect the corpses of the gods, you need to rely on external gods. If a divine war breaks out, the corpses are likely to be destroyed, and for gods who have fallen due to various other circumstances, the corpses will usually be destroyed. Show up in some dangerous areas.”
"Inu City will purchase the corpses of gods through some influential external virtual universe hubs. Since it mainly purchases the divine bodies of gods, the purchase price is usually set between 100,000 and 1 million, depending on whether the divine body is intact Whether to conduct a specific valuation. I inquired about the current external market, and the current price is still appropriate.”
"The Dog City has opened channels in the [Western Paradise] of Buddhist mythology and the [Otherworld] of Ketel mythology. Both places are hubs of the Kingdom of God with large traffic, and are very suitable for external promotion and trading. "
"That's about it."
Lu Yao thought about it carefully.
Scarab even told itself this secret, and it was indeed sincere to reach cooperation through profit sharing.
[Funeral Ritual] is almost the core secret of [Dog City], and it is also the reason why Scarab possesses so many divinities.
This is really too much.
After thinking over and over again, Lu Yao came up with a plan.
——I have an idea. Since regular security needs to be borne by external gods, I have a friend named [Queen Mother of the West], who has several subordinates...
An exclamation point lights up above the scarab's head.
"The daily defense is left to [Kunlun], and the four titled gods will do it? Please wait a moment."
Lu Yao knew that he wanted to find out the details of the four heroes of Kunlun.
There will be a follow-up soon.
"[Wei Tuotian], [Obsidian Butterfly Goddess], [Feather Wing Immortal], [East China Sea Divider General Shen Gongbao]... They are indeed all gods with their own specialties."
Scarab readily agreed: "Since you recommended it, I think there is no problem. It also saves Inu Cheng from having to screen and negotiate. It is not easy to find a suitable and reliable god."
The entire collaboration was finalized quickly.
[Kunlun] will undertake the external regular security tasks of Dog City, and will quote Kunlun based on the difficulty of the specific target.
The contact person is [Shen Gongbao].
And when the Four Elites of Kunlun can't solve it, Lu Yao will take action.
Lu Yao estimated that using [Butterfly Goddess] and [Wei Tuotian] as the main combat forces should be able to achieve a daily deterrent effect.
It can be regarded as finding an extra income for the Kunlun people, giving these lower-ranked gods an additional way to earn the fire of faith.
Accept it if you are willing to accept it, don't force it if you don't want to.
Dog City will pay 1 million to Kunlun every 10 years.
This amount is used for the daily expenses of the Kunlun Gods, and will be calculated separately for subsequent missions.
When Lu Yao posted this news on the Kunlun public channel, the Kunlun gods responded very quickly.
[Butterfly Goddess]: Queen Mother of the West, I can do it at any time!
[Wei Tuotian]: Me too!
[Feather Wing Fairy]: Although I am weak, I will try my best to complete the task. Please believe me.
[Shen Gongbao]: Thanks to Queen Mother Xi, I really didn’t expect that we would get such a high-paying task...
Everyone's enthusiasm surprised Lu Yao a little bit.
He knew that none of the four Kunlun heroes were well off. Excluding the Butterfly Goddess, who is funded by himself, the richest Shen Gongbao has less than 2 million followers in his account, and they are all a bunch of poor guys.
It seems that competition for jobs in Feiyue District is also very fierce.
Shen Gongbao explained it, and then Lu Yao knew.
Although in the pantheon of gods, the title of gods is the first echelon, this group is very different.
The top 300 titled gods have almost all the best mission opportunities and resources. It is very difficult for the middle and lower-level titled gods to maintain their rankings, and they often experience periodic declines.
God mission agencies like [Blue Bridge] usually pay their salaries based on ranking order. For larger, high-quality projects, the gods at the middle and lower levels basically have no chance, but the gods at the top are picky...
Lu Yao was filled with emotion after hearing this.
…
After defeating the Four Heroes of Kunlun, Lu Yao's perspective switches back to the temple.
Scarab said: "Being able to obtain such a result is beyond my initial expectations. Not only can I get your approval and consent, Lord Yao, but I have also found a stable mythological system to support it."
"This is a little thought, please accept it."
It took out a prop from its arms and turned it into a card.
On the card is a bird's nest shaped like a stone pillar, called [Basket on Top].
"This is a remarkable spectacle created by Nephthys, [the patron saint of houses and the dead] in Egyptian mythology, who can transform a house or building into a living thing."
A smiling face appeared on the top of the mummy's head: "I hope you like it."
Lu Yao became interested.
A living house?
A picture emerged in his mind.
In the city, houses are running around on the ground, and in the wilderness, there are various houses scattered... Little pixel people can sit in the house and climb over the mountains.
Seems good.
