My brother is so cunning

Chapter 911 The truth comes out
"I told Mingming to buy the VIP4 monthly data package!"

Lingji Bodhisattva could no longer contain his anger and said angrily, "Your lousy data package system is a trap for my sect. My sect has already gritted its teeth and accepted it, and used the treasury of the Blissful Land to pay the full monthly fee. In order to get more recharge points, we even paid for a whole year!"

"According to the terms in the instruction manual, it should summon ten pillars of fire, with the thickest pillars reaching a hundred meters in diameter, and the maneuverability and movement speed should be at least ten times that of now!"

"And what did you give us in return? A pillar of fire, and it moves so slowly!"

Wen Rui scratched his head, then tapped the remote control with his finger. A screen suddenly appeared, displaying a list of purchase records.

Bodhisattva Lingji glanced at the list and saw a string of familiar names, including several well-known figures among the gods of Heaven.

What about the Antarctic Immortal, the Purple Star Emperor, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the Barefoot Immortal...?

Not only are there great gods, but also mid-level immortals such as Wang Lingguan, Zhang Tianshi, Bixia Fairy, and Tianyi Xingjun.

Surprisingly, his business has a wide market and sells very well; all sorts of people have bought different VIP levels of monthly data packages.

Sunlight can reach the mortal realm and also the celestial realm. The focused true fire of the sun can completely cover the entire celestial realm, thus creating the conditions for selling true fire energy in the celestial realm.

However, Wen Rui's prices were not cheap, and his charging model was quite exploitative. Furthermore, the Heavenly Court had just launched an anti-corruption campaign, so the vast majority of deities purchased VIP level 1.

The main reason for opening a branch in the Heavenly Court is the potential threat posed by Mosquito Taoist. Many immortals cannot handle Mosquito Taoist's sneak attacks. Although the Heavenly Court's protective array has started construction, the project is inevitably delayed because Wen Rui misappropriated 80-90% of the public funds to repair the Earth. It will be quite a long time before it is completed.

During this period of weakened defenses in Heaven, even the gods were filled with anxiety, unsure whether their demise or tomorrow would come first.

So Wen Rui seized the opportunity to start promoting the Sun-Shielding Sky Insurance business, promising that as long as you buy the data package, you can enjoy the ability to summon the Sun's True Fire, which the Mosquito Taoists fear most, to help them defeat powerful enemies and ensure their temporary safety.

Which is more important, one's life and fortune or the rare and precious treasures one has accumulated?

The most tragic thing in the world is to lose your life and not have spent all your money.

Even the most shrewd and calculating beings can figure out this.

Any immortal who still had a few spare items in their bag went to Wen Rui and bought a monthly data package, so that they could summon the True Fire of the Sun to repel the Mosquito Taoist if she tried to sneak up on them.

Originally, the gods wanted to persuade the Jade Emperor to force Wen Rui to grant the gods of Heaven free access to the sun-blocking canopy. However, Wen Rui used a lot of technical jargon, saying that it would require building base stations, maintaining lines, setting up server rooms, and incurring upfront research and development costs. He questioned who would pay for maintenance if everyone used it for free.

If not maintained, the canopy will quickly wear out and fail, and may even be misused, at which point no one will be able to use it anymore.

The principle behind the creation of the sky-blocking canopy was something no deity except Chang'e could understand. Naturally, Wen Rui's word was law, and as a result, Wen Rui had no choice but to obediently pay the protection fee.

Lingji Bodhisattva searched for a long time in the list of paid users before finally finding the entry for "Western Religion" at the bottom. Upon checking the VIP level, he discovered it was the lowest level, Level 1.

Moreover, they didn't pay for the full year to earn the points reward; they only paid for one month, and haven't even paid for next month's data package yet.

"This is impossible! We are clearly VIP4 customers, how come you only gave us VIP1 privileges after taking our money?" Lingji Bodhisattva questioned, pointing to the items listed on the screen. "The price difference between VIP4 and VIP1 is hundreds of times. Those heavenly gods are unlikely to encounter an invasion of billions of demonic insects. Buying VIP1 would be enough for them. With such heavy defense pressure, how could we possibly buy VIP1?"

He pointed at Wen Rui's nose and angrily said, "Quickly restore us to VIP4 level. If Lingjiu Cave falls, according to the contract we signed, you will have to compensate my sect for all losses!"

"Isn't it right?"

Wen Rui stroked the three long strands of beard on his chin and frowned, saying, "The record shows that you purchased a VIP1 data package. Speaking of the contract, I have it here. I'll show it to you so you can see whether it's VIP4 or VIP1."

As he spoke, Wen Rui waved his hand, and a wheeled butler robot carrying a tray slid out from the side hall and came to the Lingji Bodhisattva. On the tray was a jade contract slip.

Bodhisattva Lingji used his divine sense to probe the jade slip and read the information on it. He was stunned upon reading it.

The contract was indeed a VIP Level 1 contract, signed monthly, with a monthly subscription option.

"This must be fake! You've tampered with the contract!"

"Whether it's fake or not, just look at the Buddha's seal on it and you'll know for sure."

Lingji Bodhisattva immediately sent out his divine sense to investigate, and sure enough, he found the unique spiritual imprint of the Tathagata on the contract's signature column.

It's easy to forge a jade slip, but to forge a hypothetical spiritual imprint is impossible unless the other party is also at the Buddha level.

Lingji Bodhisattva's divine sense repeatedly probed and finally landed on the column below the Tathagata's spiritual imprint, where the agent's seal was written. He sensed Venerable Ananda's spiritual imprint there, and a thunderclap suddenly exploded in his mind.

Everything that seemed illogical suddenly became logical.

Many things that I didn't understand suddenly became clear.

Looking at the contract amount again, Lingji Bodhisattva felt a wave of dizziness and muttered, "How dare he..."

"What do you mean, dare or not?" Wen Rui asked, puzzled. "The Ananda envoy you sent said that Tathagata doesn't trust the power of my Heavenly Canopy. In addition, the expenses for defending against the demonic mosquitoes have been enormous in recent years, and the Buddha's family has no surplus funds. So, he bought a minimum VIP access for one month to experience the effect. If it can indeed withstand the demonic mosquito army, then he will make a large-scale purchase in the future."

"Oh, right, Commissioner Anan also asked me if I had any packages that looked impressive but actually consumed very little data, so he could purchase them at a higher price."

Wen Rui seemed to remember something and recalled, "I always do business with genuine goods at fair prices. How could I sell flashy but impractical counterfeit goods? Naturally, I refused outright. Even when he offered ten times the price, I still wouldn't sell to him."

Lingji Bodhisattva swayed and said in a trembling voice, "Venerable Wen, the situation is urgent. I beg you to grant us VIP4 access temporarily so we can get through this difficult time. We will definitely make up the cost afterward."

"I'm sorry, this shop does not offer credit. Since I opened this shop, even when my own sect's delicate junior sisters came to me begging for money, I have never given them a single spirit stone on credit. You are not as pretty as my junior sisters, so why should I give you credit?"

Wen Rui's face darkened, showing no mercy whatsoever. He waved his hand and said, "Go beg for alms elsewhere. Do you really think that just because you're a monk, you can get free meals? Go away, don't delay my business!"
