Chapter 467 It’s Hard to Be a God, and the Hardest Thing Is to Be the Second Strongest!

Everyone in the world thinks it is good to be a god, but no one knows how difficult it is.

The second powerful person who tortured and killed the gods knew best how difficult it was to be a god.

It is difficult to be a god. It is difficult to burn incense in various temples. It requires gold, silver and spiritual stones.

You said you have no money?

If you have no money, you are not qualified to be a god!

Gao Erqiang was supposed to be rich, but who knew that the Kingdom of Xingsha was the original Wanghai Fairy City. All industries had prospered with the help of Haili, and it had been prosperous since ancient times. In the past few decades, with the east wind of the West China Sea War, Wanghai Chamber of Commerce President Under the leadership of Su Qing, Xing Sha Shen set off a wave of technological updates and industrial iterations in China.

In today's Kingdom of Punishment, Su Ji's Puppet Shop puppets are sold at home and abroad. Even the forces in the Eastern Wasteland all know that Su Ji's puppets are expensive and have good advertising slogans. The best-selling Burning Love series puppets and Exorcism series puppets have been updated. It's hard to find.

The armor business of Jia Tianxia has penetrated into the Thousand Islands Fairy Kingdom, Fire Phoenix Fairy Kingdom, Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and many other fairy kingdoms. In addition to Penglai, it dominates the war armor market in the West Sea.

Langya Square takes advantage of Langya Immortal Island's resource and transportation advantages. As the designated material supplier for the development of the Far West, the freighters sent to the Far West every day have to hire real Yuanying to escort them. You can imagine the profits, and because of this Su Qing's face made all the shops and merchants in Xing Sha Tian's country purchase materials from her. It was insulting to make money every day. Gao Erqiang only knew that he was Ling Ying's lackey, Ye Suo, and now everyone called him Master Suo doesn't even get paid on a monthly basis, he gets an annual salary!

It is said that the development of the Kingdom of Punishment is in full swing. As the supreme master of this Kingdom, Gao Erqiang cannot worry about the spiritual stones. Temples should be blooming everywhere, and even the gilded statues are inferior. They must be made of solid gold to be considered worthy. !

But the actual experience of becoming a god as a sophomore in high school was ridiculously bad.

Yes, Xingsha Shenguo is rich, but the money belongs to others, not to him, who is a sophomore in high school.

The Wanghai Chamber of Commerce, the organization established by Su Qing and various merchants in Wanghai when he was focused on ascending to the gods, has now become a stumbling block for his second-year high school students to control the Kingdom of God.

Members of the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce are required to pay 30% of their profits every year as expenses for the chamber of commerce to develop external business, establish cross-border channels, and protect themselves. Then they will hand over 40% of their annual profits to the chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce as a whole will participate in the Far West. Among the large-scale development projects, according to their respective investment, they will occupy the corresponding shares of the project. After the project is profitable, dividends will be distributed on a per-share basis every year.

With the current strength of the second high school student, it would be easy to deal with these Wanghai merchants, but he couldn't do it because the protective umbrella behind them was his brother Su Qing.

It's just that matter whether they are brothers or not. The main reason is that the boy is not easy to mess with. The second strongman owes him a lot for becoming a god. His own strength is also increasing day by day. The second strongman is still a little afraid of him and does not want to break up with him. .

He could even accept that the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce was still acting under Su Qing's will, as long as they could pay taxes on time.

Normally, he is considered a good second grader. He doesn't have to collect all kinds of taxes like poll tax, spiritual energy tax, practice tax, etc. like Di Motian. He only collects three types of taxes: protection tax, incense tax, and income tax.

These three types of taxes and fees are reasonable, and he really does good things with the money!

The monks and merchants who have paid the protection tax can be protected by his second-highest strength in the Kingdom of Punishment God. There are many monks from other places who come to the Kingdom of Punishment specifically to avoid their enemies and flee, so they rush to pay taxes to him!

As a devout believer who has paid the incense tax, if he or his family or friends have any right or wrong, as long as he comes to kill a stick of incense in the Kingdom of God, his second best will definitely come forward to uphold justice. The black blue sky is a fake blue sky, and his second best will. Strength is the real blue sky!

Income tax, this tax is even more important. Now that the situation in the West Sea is turbulent, which force in Xing Sha Shen's country is not a piece of fat in the eyes of these merchants? If it weren't for the pressure from the top two, how could these merchants make money stably? Can their business reach all the major fairy countries? Isn't this the result of his second best? Could it be the credit of Su Qing, who is now unknown to where he is?

The taxes are low and the fees are low. According to the size of the Kingdom of Punishment, he has to ask the monks and merchants in the country to donate tens of millions of spiritual stones every year.

Is that much?

Not much at all!

He was just starting out in his sophomore year of high school on the road to becoming a god, and his mass base was already weak. In addition, he was young and ignorant in the past, and could not learn how to play with people's heads. So after he became a god, he had to work harder than ordinary gods to change his image. , the annual publicity expenses alone cost two to three million spirit stones.

Since his subordinates did not have relevant talents in this field, and Su Qing had organized similar activities for him before when he became a god, he had full authority to entrust Su Qing's subordinates with regard to his personal image of killing gods and the spread of his beliefs. Tang Wanqing, the partner invited back from Magic Smoke City, and her female nuns are in charge.

Apart from being expensive, they did a pretty good job at this job. Activities such as inviting gods to the countryside and going deep into the grassroots allowed him to quickly gain recognition in many mortal countries within the Kingdom of Punishment. Incense's divine power accumulated at the same speed as He spent the spiritual stones on this project just as quickly!

Then there are the expenses of building temples and recruiting clergy.

His sophomore year in high school was very difficult. The main temple built by Su Qing in the Kingdom of Punishment had a gilded statue of the god. The other temples in other places were rarely built with psychic materials and even had clay statues.

When other gods came to see this, they thought he, the second-year high school god, could not survive!

Although the temples in various places were shabby, because he had a large stall, this project also cost a lot of money. And because of the large amount of work, there were not enough spiritual ladies who were professional brick movers. He also reluctantly bought a labor god pattern from Su Qing for a large sum of money, and took on the position of this god. He often personally moved bricks for his own temple!

Clergy were also difficult to deal with. Gao Erqiang started from scratch and had no team under him. He conferred the Blood Emperor and several other loyal dogs as guardian gods, but they were not good goods in the first place and had a bad reputation. Erqiang was not willing to let them show up for some daily affairs.

Therefore, he hired the Wei family nephew group. This professional incense burning team led by Wei Debao had strong business capabilities. They were doing the work of receiving incense burners and guarding incense in major temples. Whether it was the believers who came here to burn incense, or Erqiang, who was both a creature in the temple and their employer, they were all satisfied.

It's just that the price is a bit high. Not only do they have to provide food and accommodation, but they also have to pay for their daily expenses to go to Hongxiu Tower. This is reasonable. After all, only people with a lot of temper can be incense burners. As an employer, he naturally has to help them vent their anger. He Erqiang specially applied for a VIP card in Hongxiu Tower for this purpose, and recharged 300,000 to 500,000 spiritual stones every year, so that the Wei family can spend money at any time when they go there, and he will pay for all the consumption!

Are these the only places to spend money?

There are only three or two ways to make money, and there are many projects to spend money!

He Gao Erqiang was fine at home, but inexplicably Su Qing arranged a task to fight against the Earth Demon Heaven.

He Erqiang had to accept this task even if he didn't want to. After all, the Demon Tree Evil Kingdom and the Punishment God Kingdom are neighbors. If he doesn't fight with the Earth Demon Heaven, after he and the Pingxi Wu Kingdom have attacked the Desire Demon Fairy Kingdom, it will be his turn to attack the Punishment God Kingdom together with the Pingxi Wu Kingdom and the West Sea Demon Buddha forces.

The lips and teeth are cold, and Gao Erqiang must take advantage of the fact that the Desire Demon Fairy Kingdom can still hold on, and lead the team to the Demon Tree Kingdom and kill the whole family of the old demon, so that he can rest assured.

But he is in charge of things, and theoretically he is in charge of people.

But the food and finance of the army must be managed by the representatives sent by the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce.

There is no way, this Chamber of Commerce is the biggest funder of the army of the Xingsha Divine Kingdom participating in this war. They are under the banner of professionals doing professional things, maximizing resource utilization, and striving to transform every spiritual stone into a cannonball to the Xingsha Divine Kingdom. They did not give Gao Erqiang the opportunity to get involved in the army's finances, but instead placed a large puppet order at Su Ji Puppet Shop. Who is he trying to please? Do you really think that Gao Erqiang has no temper!

He Gao Erqiang really has no temper!

For example, now, his life is already difficult. Carrying the huge debt of Xiong Er Money House, he is frantically expanding the temple's faith. Isn't it to accumulate more divine power to deal with the divine war with Di Mo Tian in the near future, so as to make a comeback and bring Di Mo Shenguo under his command?

At such a critical moment, anyone should know not to disturb him!

But there are people who are not human!

First, it was the old Taoist Tong Chang Tong. This old Taoist is not a good thing.

In the past, in Yunshan Fairy City, I sincerely asked him for the skills of making talismans, but he directly asserted that he would not be able to make a living with craftsmanship in this life, and practicing hundreds of arts would only achieve nothing.

Either take the responsibility yourself and be a leader, or be a gun for others and get a double red painting soul.

This is how my life will be! !

This is it! ! !

How can I cultivate it!

Erqiang has never been inferior to others in his life. Why can Su Qing be a capitalist and make money with his skills, but Erqiang can't make talismans and refine tools and make a living with his skills?

Erqiang is a stubborn person who believes that his fate is in his own hands. He doesn't believe the irresponsible comments of the old Taoist.

He said I can't do it, but I have to prove that I can do it!

He first learned talismans, but failed in ten years. Then he learned tools, and blew up 27 furnaces in three years. Later, he learned formations and asked Lao Liang for advice but got nothing. Finally, he gave up his face and became a registered disciple of Su Qing. He learned puppets for five years, but he couldn't even figure out the work of handling materials. Even the apprenticeship gift was returned by Su Qing, so Erqiang had to accept his fate sometimes!

Hey! They are all a group of people who cherish their own things and never showed their real skills to teach Erqiang!

If this old Taoist Tong had taught him the skill of making talismans, he, Gao Erqiang, would be able to open a talisman paper shop run by gods in the Kingdom of Punishment and Killing, and make money for himself. He would have to look at the face of the Sea Merchants Association!

Gao Erqiang, who had long been dissatisfied with Tong Laodao, just treated Tong Chang's sudden request for him as nothing happened!

Not familiar!

Really not familiar!

Who are you, asking me to execute the sentence?

The God of Punishment, who was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven in ancient times to accept the control of the Heavenly Master, is dead! The current God of Punishment is him, Gao Erqiang, who has worked hard to cultivate it by self-castrating his power in the Kingdom of God after bearing Su Qing's huge debt of favor. If you, the Heavenly Master, go as soon as he is called, then all his hard work will be in vain!

Gao Erqiang doesn't want to save face!

Besides, he doesn't have much divine power, which may not be enough to deal with the Earth Demon Heaven, so how can he waste it casually!

Gao Erqiang has no psychological burden at all for rejecting Tong Laodao's invitation.

But who would have thought that this Tong Laodao is not a human being, and there is also Su Qing who is not a human being.

He took out the life-saving incense he gave him and insisted that he, Erqiang, run a trip!

Since ancient times, debts of favor are the most difficult to repay.

Gao Erqiang, who had half of the military medal for being promoted to a god, and half of it to Su Qing, had no way to deal with Su Qing's request. With a dark face, he rolled onto Tong Laodao's dragon-slaying platform.

Li Hailang only felt a huge and majestic aura descending from the sky. Before he could react, his eyes turned white and he fainted with a shiver. When he opened his eyes again, his body had been temporarily requisitioned by Gao Erqiang.

"God Gao Tian, ​​you are well. In the past, the old Taoist said that your destiny is unique, and it would be too unfair to be an evil spirit. Now it seems that if it is so, you will ascend to the position of God of Punishment and Killing. From now on, you will follow the steps and rise to the top. It’s not a bad idea to sit on that seventh-level justice god!”

Tong Chang didn't expect that Su Qing would stick with the incense and the second-highest-ranking disciple would come as he was summoned. He thought that the second-ranked second-ranked disciple really cared about brotherhood and would not forget each other even if they were rich or noble. Even after becoming gods, they would not forget their former brothers. , I couldn't help but have a very good impression of him, and felt that he was someone I could befriend. In order to take care of his emotions, he didn't act like a heavenly master at all, and deliberately flattered him.

"Well, you're pretty good too!" Compared to Tong Chang's enthusiasm, Gao Erqiang was very perfunctory and had no interest in chatting with Tong Chang. His eyes had already moved to Su Qing.

"Fellow Daoist Su, we meet again. Alas, if we talk about Xiaoyao, we are still Daoyou Su Xiaoyao. A few days ago, we were on Langya Immortal Island, and then we went to Giant Corpse Island. Now we are here again in this place of death. We can go anywhere at will. , I didn’t expect that I was a strong sophomore in high school and was born to be a hard worker.

Everything is busy inside and outside the Kingdom of Punishment. A group of merchants are in trouble with their business in the fairy kingdom. Our second strongman needs to step in to solve it. The threat of the evil tree evil country needs our second strongman to lead the troops to deal with it. Recently, these In 2008, he didn't even dare to go out because of his lack of magical power.

But something happened to fellow Daoist Su, and my second best was later beaten to death by the Earth Demon Heaven due to excessive depletion of divine power, which affected the war with the Earth Demon Heaven, and implicated tens of millions of beings in the Kingdom of Punishment and were harmed by evil spirits. He will not hesitate to be strong, and he is willing to go through fire and water for fellow Taoist Su! "

The second-year high school student Qiang cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said something like a gun and a stick, which was very unseemly. Hearing this, Su Qing shook his head:

"Fellow Taoist Gao is so emotional. Is it because I, Su Qing, ignored the overall situation and summoned fellow Taoist here for my own selfish reasons? Or did I miss the battle with the evil tree evil country?"

"Don't dare, don't dare. I just said that there is a possibility! After all, we are just sending a few undead souls on the road. With Fellow Daoist Su and Fellow Daoist Tong here, there is no need for me, the second strong man, to come and cause trouble!"

Gao Erqiang waved his hands and said, he could see clearly and knew in his heart that if everyone was inside the End of Breathing Land this time, there would be some ruthless characters there. He, Gao Erqiang, might be able to gain some merit and luck by coming here. .

But Su Qing has always been courageous. He only dares to wander around the outside of this place of death. Enforcement and execution here can also attract some small fish and shrimps. His travel expenses are not enough, which means that he has to pay back the money by the way. It's a debt of gratitude, otherwise, he would definitely not come this time as a sophomore in high school.

"Fellow Taoist Gao may have misunderstood the current situation. I don't have much to say. Now I can only say that this trip to live storage has made you feel full. As long as you can lift the dragon's head, today's merit and luck will definitely make you full. Even before leaving, Fellow Taoist Gao might be able to give me three more sticks of incense!”

The second-year high school student was fascinated, but Su Qing didn't have much to show for it. He just chuckled, and without telling the second-highest student in detail, he flew away and landed at the stern of the Longdao Bigui boat a hundred miles away. .

"What does he mean?

All you can eat with merit and luck? My second best has been hungry for a long time. I’m afraid he doesn’t know how big an appetite I have now!

The leading guillotine? Is it necessary to use this? It’s the real faucet that can’t be guillotined!

Give you three more sticks of incense? I'm afraid that you can't play with me to death, right? That's why I'm a fool and give it to you again! "

On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, Gao Erqiang's face was filled with questions. He chased Tong Chang and asked questions. However, before Tong Chang could answer, when a black light giant emerged from the breathless place and headed straight for the Dragon-Slaying Platform, the Second Qiang His whole body was agitated, and he immediately understood what Su Qing meant.

This time, he took on a really big job!

The job of slaying a dragon!

Do you think it's big or not?

But at least you asked me before, if I can do this job, is that okay? (End of chapter)
