Starting From Zero

Volume 19, Chapter 103: Status Improved?

Because I said I wouldn't care about this matter and let these gods come to our guild part-time at any time, all these gods seemed very happy. But because Mr. Polaris said he would come back soon when he left, these guys couldn't use this gap to become coaches. Anyway, the time is not long, even if you go there for less than an hour, it is still a waste of time, it is better to rest here. Of course, I will not let those gods idle. When they had nothing to do, I also introduced them to some other part-time jobs in our guild that are suitable for them. And I also promised that as long as they go back and introduce others to If the gods come to work, I can give them a commission. The stronger the gods they introduce, the more people there are, and the longer they serve here, the more commission they will get.

With this reward from me, each of those gods began to plan which familiar gods they would bring back to work together. As for us, we don’t care about the kickback at all. The act of hiring gods to work for us is actually equivalent to turning gods into our mercenaries. Although the Gods will be restricted in many things, there are also many things they can 'meddle' in. At least when our guild is busy with foreign wars, we can temporarily let some gods take care of us in the country. Even if someone wants to Even if they stab us in the back, we can still fight the war outside with peace of mind.

While we were having a friendly and harmonious conversation with the group of gods at Essinger, the pot was about to boil in the heaven.

"Jade Emperor, do you know about this?" Lord Polar Star asked the Jade Emperor angrily.

The Jade Emperor was a little embarrassed to answer the question at first, but he came to his senses when he thought about his identity. Slapping the table fiercely, the Jade Emperor pointed at Polaris and said, "You are so presumptuous, have you forgotten who you are?"

Mr. Polaris was so angry just now that he realized that his tone was indeed wrong. Even if the Jade Emperor did something wrong, he is the Jade Emperor after all, and his identity is there, so it is not his turn to blame the Jade Emperor.

"Jade Emperor, forgive me. I was confused just now. But this time I really went too far. Even if I put aside my personal relationship with Zi Ri, don't you, Jade Emperor, know what kind of character Zi Ri is?" Human? With his eloquence that can be cunning even without reasoning, he has gained so much leverage this time. How can he let us go without us vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood? This is a loss no matter how you calculate it. !”

The Jade Emperor sighed after hearing what Mr. Polar Star said: "Sigh... We were also confused for a moment, but now that the matter has come out, the most important thing is to solve the matter quickly."

"Jade Emperor, so you come to my disciple...?" A god stood up and asked with red eyes.

The Jade Emperor glanced at him and said helplessly: "This position is not safe to begin with. Since you seized this opportunity, you should bear this risk. Now it is a foregone conclusion, and we can only sacrifice Guangcheng!"

"But……"

"There is no but." Jade Emperor said sternly: "Unless you want to go to war with Zi Ri, don't say anything."

Being so frightened by the Jade Emperor, the god had no choice but to retreat, while Mr. Polaris stood up at the right time and said: "Jade Emperor, this secret information is easy to handle. As long as you really find it as you said before, It's enough for a guilty immortal to complete this matter. The key is how to appease Ziri. Listening to the words he explained to me, although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was clear enough. He had clearly determined that this matter was ours. It’s been arranged, and if we don’t give him some benefits, I’m afraid we won’t be able to bring forward the information!”

"This is a problem." The Jade Emperor thought for a while and had no good ideas, and finally left the problem to his subordinates. "Do you have any good ideas? Let's express your opinions. The hole in Ziri is not so easy to fill. We must think of a solution."

Taishang Laojun said: "This matter has been basically determined. Zi Ri knew that we were plotting against him and did not reveal it to him. This is clearly asking us for hush money. So, what we really need to decide now is to give more. Fewer questions.”

The Great Sun Tathagata also followed: "That's true. This Purple Sun's appetite has always been very big. If he doesn't give him enough things, he will make use of it. At that time, we will have to pay more. However, if we give too much, we will It’s not cost-effective either!”

Mr. Polar Star suddenly said: "Although I shouldn't intervene in this matter, I think it's better to talk about it. I know Zi Ri's character relatively well. In fact, his behavior is very regular, although it seems He often comes up with some weird ideas, but to put it bluntly, he actually follows the values ​​of an ordinary person. If you give him one, he will give you two, and if you owe him one, he will take it away. Ten of you. Therefore, I suggest that the hush-hush fee for Ziri should be more than less. We won’t be able to bear too much if we give him a little more. If it’s less, there will be endless troubles.”

"Xingjun's words are wrong." A god stood up and said: "Zi Ri is still a mortal after all. Even if we want to take care of his feelings, there is no need to act as if we are afraid of him. I don't see this issue of compensation. , it’s better to do as little as possible.”

"Master Dingxian is right. No matter what happens to Ziri, he is only a mortal, and we shouldn't be so afraid of him. Since when did heaven have a rule to apologize to mortals? This case cannot be broken."

"What a mortal." Mr. Beixing was also a little angry. He turned to the two gods who were standing and talking without pain and said: "Are you two really ignorant or pretending not to know? Is Ziri a mortal? He is really a mortal. ? Besides. Why are gods higher than mortals? Isn’t it just because we gods are better than mortals? If mortals can fight better than gods, do you think gods can still be nobler than mortals? Then don’t you think of Zi Ri’s fighting ability? I don’t know, based on his strength, does it make sense to say whether he is a mortal or a god? Once Zi Ri really turns his back, can you two be responsible for blocking him? If you are willing to rush to the front, then I have no objection, stuff It’s up to you to give more or less.”

When Mr. Polar Star said this, the two gods immediately became mute. It's easy to talk big, but they wouldn't dare to confront me head-on if we really get into a fight. There are not a few people in heaven who suffer from this.

"Okay, okay, there is no point in arguing. I think Mr. Polaris is right, so I will do what Mr. Polaris wants. We should give a little more. Even if we suffer a little loss and shed some blood, we will have another chance with my heaven. What's the problem? Isn't it possible that heaven is short of those two treasures?"

The words of the Jade Emperor are the final word. With these words here, the next part will be easier to handle. The gods gathered together and soon drew up a compensation bill. However, just in case, the Jade Emperor asked Mr. Polaris to bring an extra special gift so that Mr. Polaris could decide whether to send the second gift based on my performance after seeing the first gift.

While the Jade Emperor and others were discussing the list, the guilty gods who needed to be prepared were brought over. This guy is obviously different from the guy last time, because his appearance is no longer immortal, and his popularity is almost gone. But it’s right to think about it. Naturally, it would be impossible for the criminals in heaven to make things easier for him. If he was still fat and white, he would no longer be a criminal.

After picking up the gifts according to the gift list, Mr. Polaris took two more gods to escort the guilty god to Isengard again. The reason why he did not take the two last time was because Mr. Polaris had a psychological problem and was afraid. Make me unhappy.

We were chatting happily at Essinger when Mr. Polaris ran back with his people. I didn't speak at first, but glanced at the guy who was being escorted.

Mr. Polar Star is also an understanding person. He immediately said firmly when he saw my expression: "I didn't know about what happened last time, but this time I can guarantee that it is absolutely true."

I nodded and said, "I still believe in your character, but why is this guy acting like a ghost?"

North Star Lord glanced at the immortal and said: "This guy was thrown into the Immortal Punishing Pot three hundred years ago. He has not been tortured into a lunatic for so many years. He is already determined. I heard that after this incident, he can be reincarnated as a human." , he almost jumped up with joy. But after all, he has been here for too long, and his soul is relatively weak, so he looks a bit miserable."

"If there's no problem, then come with me."

Called Vina to take this guy and the two divine generals responsible for escorting them down to the guild's source of divine power. Under the watchful eyes of the two divine generals and Polar Star Lord, Vina turned on and off for the guy. With the same permissions, the guy started reading the information.

Because I really hope that I can be reincarnated and no longer have to suffer the torture, this immortal was very cooperative this time and quickly completed the reading of the message. Then, under our gaze, he condensed the message into a soul fragment and handed it to Mr. Polaris.

"Okay, mission accomplished. Bring that soup. I want to watch him drink it." I said to Mr. Polaris.

Mr. Polar Star was relieved when he got the thing, then nodded and took out the previous medicine soup and poured it into the guy. Of course, I fed the medicinal soup with my own hands, but the main purpose was to allow me to evaluate the effect. Fortunately, the Reality Appraisal Technique can indeed completely clear the memory, and I seem to have found some additional uses for this thing.

"Okay, your matter is finally done. However, did Heavenly Court plan to trick me before...?"

Since Mr. Polaris came with a gift list, he was naturally prepared. As soon as he heard what I said, he immediately took out a gift and handed it over. "Heaven also knows that what happened this time is indeed a bit embarrassing, so... this can be regarded as a little compensation."

I took the gift list with a skeptical expression and scanned it briefly, but the result surprised me for a while.

Because I have been dealing with Heavenly Court quite a lot at this time, I also have a relatively good understanding of Heavenly Court’s behavior and habits. Judging from my understanding of Heaven, those gods are very stingy. It may be a bit too much to say that they are iron roosters who never pluck out their hair, but they really can only pluck out one or two hairs. If you think about it any more, it is just a dream.

However, this time Heaven unexpectedly went against the norm and issued me a gift bill that was definitely generous. According to the custom of heaven, it is absolutely abnormal to issue such a gift order.

"The sun came out in the west today?" I asked in surprise as I looked at the gift list.

North Star Lord smiled slightly and said: "Actually, don't be surprised. Such a gift list is mainly based on your personal strength. Just because your strength has improved, the importance of heaven to you has also increased. Naturally, this gift We can no longer follow the standards of the past.”

I finally understood after hearing what Polaris-kun said. In the past, Heaven only occasionally needed me to help them with errands, so they treated me just like a boss treats an employee. As long as they maintained basic respect and didn't deliberately belittle me, that was fine. But now, as the strength of me and our guild has increased, especially after the destruction of the Russian Protoss, it is obvious that our strength cannot be measured by a simple mortal organization. Now heaven has placed us in the position of partners rather than wage earners. Although our cooperation partner is still a small organization compared to Tianting, we have entered the same level as Tianting anyway, so naturally the treatment cannot be the same as before.

After understanding the reason, I don't think there is anything strange about the list in front of me. After all, our status is different now, so we should get more.

"Mr. Polar Star, this gift list is not bad, I accept it. However, I also want to discuss some business with Heavenly Court, and I hope Heavenly Court can help."

"Just say it." Mr. Polar Star didn't care when I said that we were just talking about business and not asking for other conditions. After all, I have done business with Tianting many times. Judging from my habits, although I like to mess around, But it is quite reliable when doing things.

Now that even Mr. Polar Star has nodded, I said directly without hesitation: "Actually, I have two businesses here. One is that I hope that Heavenly Court can arrest those gods who are guilty to Heavenly Court and need to be punished. Those monsters and other powerful individuals were all sold to our guild." Seeing that Mr. Polaris seemed to be about to speak, I quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm not releasing these people as subordinates, so they won't threaten the heaven. Benefits. Our guild will use these people to make some props, so to Heaven, they are equivalent to their souls being scattered. I don’t think Heaven will refuse this, right? After all, those in Heaven’s custody are also allowed to stay. Keep it, not to mention it takes up space, it’s also a hidden danger right there, isn’t it?”

Mr. Polar Star thought for a while and then said: "Although I can't make a decision directly now, I think there should be no problem. Of course, it is probably impossible to buy all the criminals. Some memorable characters are impossible to sell, but most of them I should be able to sell it to you."

I nodded and said: "Then wait until you go back and ask the Jade Emperor before giving me an answer. As for the other business, I want to ask the gods in heaven to come to our guild to help when they are free. Do you think this is feasible? ? Of course, it is not voluntary labor. Those who help will be paid, and every time they come to help, based on the compensation they receive, I will return 1% to Heaven as a thank you fee for Heaven’s support of those gods who come to help. For The nature and time of the work of the immortals can be freely decided by them. Our guild provides jobs that require help from immortals. Each position will have corresponding remuneration according to the job. The immortals can freely decide what job to choose. , it’s up to them to decide whether they want to do it or not, and how long they want to do it. There shouldn’t be any problem with this, right?”

After hearing this, Mr. Polaris immediately said: "Since it is such a free agreement, I think it must be passed. When there is nothing to do in Heaven itself, when the gods are summoned, their time is also free, so what they do in Heaven is basically The gods don't care. Of course, if you are willing to give some benefits, I think the Jade Emperor will actively encourage those immortals to help."

After hearing what Mr. Polaris said, I was thinking: "It's strange that the Jade Emperor doesn't support him. He gets free benefits from working for the gods. Where can he find such good things? I guess he will have to wait for Mr. Polaris to tell him when he goes back. Driving people to our place, it’s not him who is doing the work anyway.”

Although I think so in my heart, I definitely can't say it with my mouth. After Mr. Polaris agreed, I asked him to communicate with the Jade Emperor on his behalf. As for whether it would work out, I wasn't too worried. After all, this was a mutually beneficial cooperation, and Heaven was also beneficial. With Tian Ting's shark character who gets excited when he smells blood, it would be strange for them not to do anything beneficial.

After telling Mr. Polaris the additional information, I took him back to the living room above. Then Mr. Polaris took the hundred immortals back to heaven to return to life. As for the immortals who had turned into blank souls, was thrown directly to me. According to the agreement of Heaven, this guy should be sent to reincarnation, but since Heaven has no time to care about him, I naturally greedy this soul. Anyway, our guild will still need a lot of such souls in the future.

After watching all the gods leave, I quickly turned around and ran to Vina and stretched out my hand. Vina looked at me and blinked, as if asking me what I wanted to do. Seeing that Wei Na was pretending to be stupid with me, I had no choice but to say, "Where's that god from heaven before?"

"Aren't you carrying one in your hand?"

"I'm talking about the one before."

"Oh, you're talking about that." Wei Na said as if I just remembered it: "It has been absorbed by us."

When I heard Wei Na's words, I didn't mean to believe her. Instead, I asked in a long voice: "Oh? Really? If you don't obey, you will be grounded."

Originally, according to the status in the game, Vina should have a higher status than me. After all, she is the god worshiped by our guild, and I am just the leader of the guild. But because we all have real relationships in reality, Wei Na is actually more afraid of me.

When I asked Wei Na this question, she knew that her lie had failed. She was so angry that she slapped a sealing stone into my hand, then turned around and left angrily, muttering: "Huh, Cheapskate!"

I could only laugh at Wei Na's awkwardness. I picked up the sealing stone in my hand, looked at it, and then said, "I hope you can meet the requirements, and it's not in vain that I offended Vina for you!" As I said that, I put the sealing stone away and walked out of the temple. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at *** (***.***), ***.
