Chapter 728: Faith-Based Society
Mo Qiong originally thought that the so-called god of electric lights and air conditioners was just something that replaced electricity with faith.
But soon they discovered that these two people also had divine bodies, and they were both painted in an oriental style.
In addition to the god of electric lights and air conditioners in the church, citizens also believe in the god of electronic locks, water heaters and computers.
"Hey, why don't you have a refrigerator and a microwave?" Gou Ye complained.
"No, it means no. There are so many reasons... But my mother said that the refrigerator god might have one in a few years." Andy recalled.
"Oh? Are there any missing conditions?" Mo Qiong asked.
The little kid Andy said blankly: "I don't know."
Mo Qiongxin said that Andy was still too young. The child was only about five years old and didn't know much.
Even if his mother knew what the refrigerator god lacked, she would not explain it to him. She would only say: Yeah, it will be there in a few years.
Andy obviously liked the youngest Gou Ye more, and said with a smile: "Well, where do you live? Do you have a computer? Let's add a friend."
Andy shook an idol in his hand.
Gou Ye remained silent, because this is the so-called computer god.
People who believe in this god can directly use the statue as a computer... Not only can they connect their minds to the statue to use various functions of the computer, but they can also access the Internet... and they are connected to the large Internet on the surface.
Shrines, statues, and paintings can all be mediums for channeling computer gods.
No matter where you are, as long as you have a god statue and your own devout faith, you can surf the Internet with your eyes closed, as if you are using a mind projection optical brain.
Divine WIFI, psychic surfing. Even underground, as long as you remember what the computer god looks like and draw a picture, you can access the Internet.
Just like a light bulb does not use electricity, the air conditioner is just a shrine.
"What's the price?" Master Gou asked.
"Ah?" Andy looked confused, what's the price?
Does faith count? They contribute their faith to various gods every day. Otherwise, there will be no lights, air conditioners, water heaters...
"Come in and talk." Andy invited everyone into his house to play.
"Is there anyone else in your house?" Mo Qiong asked, looking inside from the window.
Andy shook his head and said, "My parents went to church."
As he said this, he walked to the door and saw a divine painting posted on the door like a door god.
Andy pressed his hands on the portrait with an extremely pious expression, as if he was praying for something.
After more than ten seconds, a 'click' sound was heard, and the door of his house suddenly opened.
"..." Mo Qiong and others were stunned.
What the computer god said was mysterious, but after all, they had never felt it.
But the power of the electronic lock god was seen in front of him.
There is no lock on the door at all, it is just a simple door panel, and the picture posted on it is the electronic lock god.
It seems that anything can be locked through it. If you want to open it, you can pray to unlock it.
"Your family is so high-end..." I only said this in my heart.
Everyone can be completely sure that this is the containment object. Regarding these weird gods, they must understand their characteristics.
Everyone entered Andy's house, blew on the air conditioner, drank drinks, and ate snacks.
The snacks are candies, and the drinks are ordinary sugar water, which tastes too sweet, especially for club members...
The club members always eat sweets, and they are consciously trained to consume a lot of sugar every day. Although this sweet taste is annoying, it is nothing.
Boom boom, everyone went straight to it. By the way, they found out that there was a shortage of fruits underground, so drinking juice was a luxury. Andy's family could only receive a small amount of seasonal vegetables and fruits every week.
Gou Ye got straight to the point and said, "What are you playing at?"
"Battle of Balls...I can't maintain standby stably. I accidentally shut down my phone before I talked to you." Andy said.
"Oh, your faith output is not stable yet, is it?" Mo Qiong said. Based on their experience, they can guess some possibilities in just a few words.
"Well, my mother blamed me for not being religious enough...it took me a long time to turn on the computer..." Andy was very disappointed and complained to everyone.
In his complaint, everyone learned that in this underground city-state, faith is king.
There are three main classes: priests, citizens and untouchables.
Citizens do not need to work at all, or their job is to contribute their beliefs.
In addition to their daily beliefs, they also have to offer their beliefs in squares or churches every day. The more you contribute, the better your family’s living conditions will be.
The reason why there is a gap between rich and poor in the city is that different families contribute different amounts of faith.
The power of faith is the currency in circulation!
Through these contributions, people can exchange for water and food, cloth and furniture, even land and houses, daily necessities, and even luxury accessories.
Some families are extremely pious and naturally live a prosperous life.
Some families don't export much faith, so their lives are so tight that they can't even turn on the air conditioner at home.
The belief in daily contribution has a minimum limit. If you fail to reach the minimum limit, you will be deprived of citizenship and turned to hard labor.
In the past, those who worked hard in the work area and did not have shoes to wear were not religious enough. Of course, part of it is due to committing a crime.
If the output of the unit is not enough, we will make up for it with time.
Andy's parents went to church, which actually means they went to work. They prayed from morning to night, and Andy was able to live at home with the air conditioner blowing on, playing on the computer, and having snacks to eat.
Andy always disappoints his parents. His parents are so hardworking and pious, but Andy, a little brat, is worse than his peers in faith.
At the age of five, when he prayed to the computer god, he couldn't even standby stably, and it took two hours to boot up! It took eight days to download the next game of Battle of Balls!
The kid next door is only one year older than him, and he can catch up with the anime!
If this continues, Andy will probably become a pariah when he grows up. Andy's parents are anxious and crying.
In the underground city-state, people become adults at the age of fifteen.
Before the age of fifteen, children do not need to bear the obligations of citizens, but after the age of fifteen, if they do not meet the requirements of citizens, they will be reduced to pariah status.
So every household hopes that their children can be more pious.
Sensible children provide their own air conditioners and lights at home to exercise their prayer ability.
Of course, using the computer is also a form of exercise, but Andy is easily distracted and can't beat others in playing computer games.
The performance and internet speed of the computer god are linked to the material of the statue in a very small way, but are mainly linked to piety.
The stability of prayer is the key to maintaining standby. If you can believe in the gods anytime and anywhere, the computer will always be reflected in your mind.
The stronger the faith, the faster the boot, the higher the performance, and the better the internet speed.
It takes Andy more than two hours to boot up the computer, and it took him eight days to download the penguin game. It runs very slowly and lags. Although he is only five years old, he is very bad among his peers.
As for maintaining standby, it is a basic operation, which means that a person is instinctively pious in his heart, has integrated faith into his bones, and is always outputting faith.
Andy often shuts down automatically, which means that he is not sincere, his faith is too deliberate, and he can only pray when he is concentrating.
Citizens, you can integrate prayer into your life, and everything you do is prayer.
This kind of state of worshipping the gods in every move is something that most people in the entire city-state can do.
Of course, most children can't do it, which is normal. After all, Andy is only five years old, and his mind is full of distractions.
But if he still can't do it when he is fifteen, he will definitely be a pariah.
In the Gaia city-state, piety is the standard of morality, and faith is the foundation of life.
