Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 230 It's Not Easy to Be a God
Ye Shen quoted money, which shocked Zhou Yi for a moment.

"Does the Light Core Body also need money?"

"Of course, this is a world of energy, matter and consciousness. No one can exist in thin air." The other party said as a matter of course.

"Although the church has its own way, as the god followed by believers, sometimes I still have to provide them with some funds. Otherwise, how can they believe in me? This is easy to understand, right?"

Zhou Yi thought so too.

"But with your strength, you should be able to obtain a large amount of light seeds just by waving your hands."

"It's certainly not difficult to obtain the light seeds, but the difficult part is choosing the path that suits me. The process is sometimes far more important than the result."

Ye Shen seemed to realize something: "You focus more on the surface world of material existence, and don't seem to have explored the inner world here much. No wonder you have such thoughts."

"Conceptual life is a high-level life form that is born from the interaction between the surface world and the inner world. We walk and move in the inner world composed of consciousness. When we enter the surface world formed by matter, we cannot directly change the matter here."

"This is also a simple law of nature. I can easily destroy thousands of living consciousnesses, but I can't lift a stone."

The other party waved his hand and smiled: "Of course, this is just a joke. I'm not some crazy person who wants to destroy."

Zhou Yi listened carefully.

Judging from his words and actions alone, Ye Shen's imitation of humans is very lifelike.

"Conceptual life has its own way of obtaining energy. Our method is more efficient and simple, but on this side of the surface world, most life does not have this ability. They need a universal energy carrier, which is light seed."

"So when I come here, I need to use light seeds to help and push them."

Ye Shen’s words made Zhou Yi roughly understand.

However, a core problem remains unresolved.

Zhou Yi didn't beat around the bush: "If we take it directly, it should be faster, right?"

The other party did not deny it: "Such a process will be recorded by the Great Holy Spirit, leading to a change in the concept itself."

"For example, now everyone believes that Night God is a kind and wise god. After plundering, I will be considered a god who deprives wealth. Behavior will change consciousness and cognition."

Zhou Yi seemed to understand vaguely: "Similar to a camp? You belong to the order side, if you plunder, you will become the chaos side, or even the evil side?"

"That's an interesting statement... You can think of it that way."

Ye Shen held a small round fan in his hand and said in a light tone: "For us, there is no difference between order, chaos and evil. It's just a matter of going to the left, the middle or the right. But this will have different results on the life in the surface world, and then form subsequent feedback to us."

"Behaviors on the order side, such as me providing positive guidance and assistance to other lives, may be a little hard, but they can continue to expand the influence and spread externally, gaining a large basic group."

"But it is also for this reason that if I want to obtain the light seeds here, I have to adopt acceptable methods such as exchange, discovery, and accepting contributions."

"The chaotic side is hard to judge because of its behavior. No one wants to follow a moody guy. It's hard to get any benefits from it."

"As for the evil side, it is more like a monster. It is easy for its supporters to surge in a short period of time, but they basically disappear quickly. This is because destruction itself is a double-edged sword, and it does not distinguish between enemies and friends."

Zhou Yi remembered it silently.

He then asked, "Among the gods of today, that is, the order side, are there any other gods besides you?"

"As far as I know, no. Being a god requires a lot of pressure, and most of our kind are not willing to do it."

Ye Shen waved his small fan and said, "Being a god who upholds order is a very difficult thing."

"To manage the believers here, I have to talk to them every day, solve their problems, listen to their pain, and try to solve their livelihood problems. If this goes on for a long time, even I have wanted to disband the church many times..."

Zhou Yi expressed sympathy: "Thank you for your hard work, please stick with it."

"Who would be willing to go through so much trouble if they didn't have to?"

The other party's face was full of helplessness and bitterness: "The moon is in danger. I must expand my followers to offset the weakening over there."

"I also plan to train them to march over there and wipe out the moon beasts one day... although this seems a bit far-fetched. Their development is much slower than I expected."

Zhou Yi stood in awe.

"Most conceptual life forms are still active in the inner world, which is where we are more suitable. By the way, do you want to trade with me? I'll help you find a hot pot."

"of course."

Zhou Yi nodded.

The other party said: "Just transfer the money directly to the church's account in the Mechanical and Electrical City. That account is called [Night God Church Donation Special Category 1]. When transferring the money, just make a note of [Exchange]."

In the wasteland age, gods also have electronic accounts.

Zhou Yi opened the tablet and completed a transfer of 2 light seeds.

Then he showed the other party the details.

“Thank you for supporting the church.”

Ye Shen showed a business-like smile: "Then wait a moment, I will go find the one you want."

Then it disappeared without a trace.

……

The conversation with Ye Shen helped Zhou Yi correct many of his habitual ways of thinking.

For example, the church.

The Church of Night in the Wasteland Era is different from any church in human history.

It is based on the lunar crisis, which forced Night God to come out and look for believers in order to obtain external forces to deal with the moon beast problem.

The more believers there are, the stronger its power becomes.

Therefore, when the church was born, it had a natural tendency to expand.

The virtual God appears perfect because of the distance.

As a real god, Ye Shen has to run around everywhere, making money, recruiting people, appeasing believers, and maintaining his own good image... Perhaps it is the lack of help from a professional team that forces him to do everything himself.

Zhou Yixin said it was a pity.

I have never been an agent or worked in an entertainment company in the past, otherwise I could really cooperate with Ye Shen, set up a behind-the-scenes team for it, and package it into an idol goddess.

Various thoughts flashed through Zhou Yi's mind.

Suddenly the Night God reappeared.

"I found the 'hot pot' you described." "But it's asleep."

Ye Shen said apologetically: "It seems to be very weak and will not be able to wake up in a short time."

"No, I know a similar concept life form, which is not much different from Hotpot. Like me, it also belongs to the side of order, is the type that does not hurt others, and is very easy to get along with."

Zhou Yi was suspicious: "Who is it?"

"It is called 'Land'. It is an ancient conceptual life form. Its prototype is the land of the surface world."

Is this the God of Land?
Since the hot pot was asleep, Zhou Yi was also in the mood to give it a try: "That's fine."

"Ok."

The figure of Ye Shen flickered.

A strange shadow slowly emerged beside it.

The shadow was shaped like a clay sculpture without facial features or arms, and its lower body was shrouded in mist.

Ye Shen introduced: "This is the "land."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly to him: "Hello, I'm Zhou Yi."

"Ah."

The other person's voice was deep and deep, transmitted into the body through the ground beneath his feet.

"Then you guys chat slowly." Ye Shen waved his hand and said, "I'm going to go deal with the believers first."

A voice sounded in Zhou Yi's mind.

"Although Ludi doesn't pay as much attention to the surface world as I do, his inclination is also towards order, but he doesn't manage believers like I do. He is more introverted and afraid of being noticed. He only cares about the original Ludi, so although he occasionally appears on this side, few people know about him."

“I hope you can reach a cooperation.”

Ye Shen gave a little hint.

After it left, only Zhou Yi and the land were left here.

The other party was silent just as described.

Zhou Yi could only find a topic to talk about: "To be honest, we are currently doing land reclamation here. Do you have any suggestions?"

"very good."

Lu Di is still very frugal with words.

Zhou Yi has a headache.

In this situation, let alone cooperation, even chatting is difficult.

Zhou Yi added: "Because our Sand Harbor area is limited, and most of the world is submerged by the Dead Sea, land is a very precious non-renewable resource, so I want to reclaim land."

"it is good."

The other party responded with one word.

I don't know whether it is approval or understanding.

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and continued, "I'd like to ask, if the silt from the bottom of the Dead Sea is salvaged, is it feasible to use it to grow crops?"

"feasible."

Lu Di continued to answer each question.

Zhou Yi was secretly complaining in his heart.

No wonder the influence and spread of land is almost zero. How can such a passive concept life, like squeezing toothpaste, without any pull, attract people to believe in it?

It and Ye Shen belong to two extremes. One is completely involved in worldly affairs, and the other is completely out of the world and lives in seclusion.

But this time we have spent 2 seeds, we can’t just waste them like this.

Zhou Yi could only patiently try to dig out more information: "The conceptual prototype you originated from refers to all the land surfaces in this world?"

“Only the part of the Dead Sea that’s not covered.”

That is land in a narrow sense.

According to Night God's description, the strength of the prototype is also linked to the concept life itself. In other words, as long as the land is expanded, the land will also become stronger.

Zhou Yi tried to ask for confirmation.

"Yes."

The clay man standing on the cloud replied: "The bigger the land, the stronger I am."

Zhou Yi was curious: "Now all parties are reclaiming land and building islands. Are you also pushing for it behind the scenes?"

"No."

Lu Di said: "I haven't had a conversation with the surface world for a long time."

"Goodbye."

It said goodbye and left.

Suddenly, the clay figure slowly turned to the east.

"Is that... land in the sky?" it asked puzzledly.

Zhou Yi also looked over.

That is the eastern land reclamation pilot area. Now, a wide and stable layer of soil has been laid above the elevator building supporting island.

From a distance, it looks like a big mushroom with a giant flat cap.

Zhou Yi was also a little confused.

What's happening here?
"interesting."

The conceptual life that was originally as quiet as water finally showed obvious emotional fluctuations at this time: "No wonder Ye Shen invited me here, this place is indeed unusual."
