"Heyhey! What about me? Didn't I also help? Why did you only give him money?" While Wang Sisi had said 'the two of you', she was really only looking at Meng Jingtian and was ignoring Cai Minghou, which left him rather incensed.
He was far too familiar with this attitude!
In 'Grand Desolation', hadn't the 'White Lady' used exactly this sort of enthusiasm and adorable pursuit to attach herself to Meng Jingtian?
And after getting even better connections, she had kicked aside Meng Jingtian without even a slight frown.
His Brother Tian had ascended to higher heights much faster in 'Tomorrow', and this love affair calamity had also come faster!
Meng Jingtian hadn't noticed anything at first, but Cai Minghou's question set off his warning signals.
A flash of insight appeared in his eyes, and he glanced thoughtfully at Wang Sisi.
Wang Sisi was taken aback by Cai Minghou's question. This guy isn't tactful at all, she mentally cursed, but she maintained her smile. "Of course you have your own share!"
Saying this, she sent over a trade request.
Meng Jingtian focused only on beating up monsters and essentially ignored Wang Sisi. Wang Sisi tried several times to strike up a conversation, but after receiving no response from Meng Jingtian, she had no other choice but to converse with Cai Minghou to avoid any awkwardness.
After they had been beating up monsters for ten-some minutes, the mobs and elites suddenly did something no player could have expected.
Led by several elite monsters, the bandit mobs threw down their weapons and got down on their knees.
"Holy shit! Brother Tian! Something weird is going on here! How do these mobs know how to beg for their lives?" Cai Minghou was stunned and exaggeratedly jumped behind Meng Jingtian.
"Ding! Under your awe-inspiring lessons and reprimands, the bandits of Cool Breeze Camp have recognized their errors and are willing to renounce their dark ways and return to the light. From now on, they will obey the laws of the Black Dragon Empire and change the name of Cool Breeze Camp to Cool Breeze Village. Will you pardon the Cool Breeze bandits?"
A system notification rang out in Meng Jingtian's ear, leaving even him dumbstruck.
This was possible?
"Pardon?" Meng Jingtian hesitantly made his choice, upon which virtual fireworks exploded in the air and Cool Breeze Camp transformed.
The wicked bandit camp became like a village straight out of a fairytale, with green grass and blue waters.
"Am I seeing things? Why… did the red-name mobs become green-name NPCs?" Wang Sisi saw that the bandit mobs had all become NPCs with their own names, but didn't dare to believe her eyes.
"This… this is way too unbelievable, right?" Cai Minghou hollered.
Monsters turning into NPCs? He had never heard about this in any game!
"Is this a glitch?" Coming to her senses, Wang Sisi looked strangely at Meng Jingtian.
Only a glitch could explain this sort of situation, right?
"We were just farming mobs. How could we encounter a glitch? Why don't we ask customer support?" Cai Minghou was also confused, and planned to contact customer support.
"There's no need! This is probably… because of me." Meng Jingtian raised his hand and stopped him, a bitter smile on his face.
"What? Brother Tian, you…" Cai Minghou speechlessly glanced at him.
"I'm still missing seven elites and thirteen mobs! My mission isn't done! Now that all the monsters have become NPCs, how am I going to do my mission?" Cai Minghou tearfully moaned.
But a moment later, he froze, and then his face lit up in excitement. "Haha! It's complete! It's actually complete!"
King Pingwu's mission had been to pacify the bandits. Now that Cool Breeze Camp had turned into Cool Breeze Village, what bandits were left?
"Great God, thank you for saving us from the sea of suffering. Please permit me to offer to you my sincerest belief!" The slain Ma Fangxing reappeared, but this time, he was an NPC, not a boss.
Cool Breeze Village Chief Ma Fangxing!
"Ding! Congratulations! Fervent believer + 1"
"Ding! Congratulations! Believer + 1!"
"…"
In a string of notifications, Meng Jingtian instantly gained 325 believers and one fervent believer in Ma Fangxing.
"Ding! Belief Halo has met the conditions for leveling. Would you like to level it up?"
"Level up!"
"Level up success!"
"Ding! The Cool Breeze Village Chief wishes to make you the primary god worshiped by Cool Breeze Village. Do you agree?"
The primary god? Meng Jingtian was dumbfounded. Could it really be that good?
How could he not agree? Meng Jingtian declared, "Agree!"
"Congratulations! You have become the primary god worshiped by Cool Breeze Village. You have obtained one temple. As a proto-god, you may choose your own Divine Title and faction. Once confirmed, they cannot be changed."
A dialog box appeared in front of Meng Jingtian. In front were the words 'Divine Title', and then an empty box that was seemingly awaiting his input.
A Divine Title? That would be what to call a god, right?
Meng Jingtian didn't really understand it, and pondered to himself, It's probably like selecting a nickname when creating an account.
"Hmmm…" Suddenly, Meng Jingtian's eyes brightened, and he entered, 'Genesis God'!
When other gods were born, they were just XX god, but he could choose his own name, so he naturally had to pick an awesome one.
God King? God Emperor? Putting aside that there was a high chance those names were already taken, they were just a little too much.
But 'Genesis God' was much better! It was impressive and stylish, but it was also inconspicuous and had many meaningful connotations.
I'm not claiming that I'm some king or emperor. I'll just say that I'm the genesis of all gods, the very first god!
Meng Jingtian pressed 'Confirm', and then two boxes, black and white respectively, appeared before him. There were only two choices.
'Righteous' and 'Evil'.
These were probably the so-called factions. But from what the turtle divine beast had said, the gods had many factions, and factions decided a god's functions.
For example, a sea god, as their name said, was responsible for administering the seas and oceans.
War gods were formidable in combat and administered war.
Gods of harvest were responsible for agriculture and harvest.
Although he didn't know why he only had the choices of 'Righteous' and 'Evil' available to him, after some thought, Meng Jingtian chose 'Righteous'.
He had no plans to be some savior god, but from what he could see, the more righteous existences were friendlier to him, and it also seemed that Cool Breeze Village was in the 'Righteous' camp.
For his own development and to prevent unexpected mishaps, he decided that choosing 'Righteous' was better.
Once all this was decided, Village Chief Ma Fangxing excitedly took Meng Jingtian's hand and said that he was going to build a temple in the center of the village and wanted his opinion.
Fortunately, he had visited the Dragon God's temple in Seaside City and had some idea of what a temple would look like, so he was able to keep up with the conversation.
He couldn't help but be excited. Truly, a blind cat finding a dead mouse! He had found success through sheer luck!
While helping Cai Minghou with a mission, he had somehow resolved his main quest mission!
Sure enough, one had to be loyal to their friends!
