Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 169 Instant Wealth

I wiped the picture frame clean and put it back in its place.

Feeling that nothing had been missed, he then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

The next moment, without being seen.

In the bedroom at the very back of the house, a previously transparent and invisible barrier block has quietly disappeared.

On the sleeper berth in the room, where there was nothing before, the water rippled, and an old man with a peaceful expression was fast asleep, lying there.

Thanks to the high-quality partitions of the barrier blocks, the noise outside, which sounded like the house was about to be demolished, did not disturb the elderly man's light sleep.

After doing all this, Lü Gu picked up the box and slowly walked out of the room, finally closing the door gently behind him.

Upon entering the corridor, I was greeted by yet another scene of utter chaos.

Fortunately, it's not like the house was just demolished; at least it doesn't affect movement.

Lu Gu was carrying a box.

Like an old man walking his bird in a cage on the street, he leisurely walked to the end of the corridor.

Finally, it stopped in front of a pile of ashes, which had been burned black.

"Tsk tsk~"

"They died cleanly, saving us the trouble of cremation."

He sighed calmly, then with a flick of his wrist, took out a bucket and poured water onto the pile of black ashes.

The next moment, the powerful water flow instantly washed away the black ash.

After doing all this, Lü Gu waved his hand again and retrieved the water block from the ground.

Next, the deliberately reserved death state was activated.

In an instant, all that could be seen was the empty corridor floor.

A sudden ripple.

An old man, withered and hunched over, appeared on the spot.

Just don't know why.

Although you could see his chest rising and falling and his eyes wide open, they were lifeless, and he remained lying motionless on the ground.

Lu Gu wasn't in a hurry; he simply stood quietly to the side and observed.

"Uh...ah..."

And so, the stalemate lasted for more than a minute.

With a long, rapid inhalation, it was as if a person suffering from oxygen deprivation had suddenly come into contact with air and was breathing greedily.

The body, which had been stiff and seemingly frozen, suddenly trembled and softened as it inhaled.

"This, this...is...?"

The old dog felt as if his consciousness had undergone a thousand or even hundreds of cycles of depravity.

Even after my vision went dark, the pain didn't leave my body; instead, it lingered there as if frozen in time.

Unable to hear, see, or touch, all that could be seen was darkness and utter desolation.

It was as if time itself had passed, leaving only the prolonged torment accompanying the lonely consciousness, drifting in the chaotic darkness.

And so it went on for an unknown period of time.

Just as his mind was beginning to go numb, a bright light shone down on him.

It was as if a consciousness, submerged in the deep sea and never seeing the light of day, was violently scooped up by a fishing net.

next moment.

Various unknown and unfamiliar colors appeared in my field of vision.

A variety of bizarre rectangular structures and colors combine to create a chaotic image.

They stood there dumbfounded for a long time.

Only from bodily instincts and distant memories did I discover how to activate the unfamiliar organ, the eyeball.

And the scene before my eyes, along with the changes around me, slowly came back to me—that was what the world looked like.

As consciousness returns, the body returns to normal.

The feeling of suffocation prompted him to passively recall how to breathe and how to move.

Gradually, they also woke up from their long period of distress.

With a rapid breath, as if a baby were born, this body was reborn into the world for the second time.

Lu Gu, who had been standing to the side observing, simply rubbed his chin.

He pondered silently in his heart.

"It's only been less than half an hour, right?"

"It seems that the experience of waiting for resurrection is more painful than expected. Fortunately, it was discovered in advance..."

Previously, Lü Gu was considering whether to slack off and let the people who couldn't fit in the temporary office of Heaven wait in line for resurrection.

In retrospect, it's fortunate that we had a guinea pig to test it out.

Otherwise, they might end up with tens of millions of lunatics, drooling all day long and talking nonsense in heaven.

Thinking about it, Lü Gu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Meanwhile, the old dog, who seemed to have climbed ashore like a drowning person, had gradually regained control of his body.

Initially, there was some hesitation and confusion, but as time went by, the sequence of events gradually came to mind.

Recalling the moments before consciousness sank into oblivion.

Gradually, ecstasy spread through his limbs and bones, and he began to cheer and jump for joy.

It felt as if every cell in my body was excitedly roaring for new life.

"I...I died before...?"

He murmured something, stiffly rose from his knees, and raised his hands with trembling hands to gently stroke his aged face.

The excitement and disbelief in his eyes almost spilled out.

"I... I'm... resurrected?"

"I... Waaah..."

As he spoke, his stuttering gradually became smoother and louder until he finally covered his face with his hands, knelt down, and burst into tears.

Just as she was crying uncontrollably, a cold, emotionless voice drifted over from the side.

The sound, though faint compared to the crying, resonated in my mind like a resounding bell.

"Oh, judging from your expression, you know you were wrong?"

The voice was devoid of emotion, but seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm at the end.

However, startled by the sudden sound, the old dog was too preoccupied to pay attention to the details of the conversation.

He quickly turned around and looked around.

next moment.

Then I noticed myself beside me, someone I hadn't seen at all.

Suddenly, a cold-faced Taoist priest appeared, dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, so handsome that he seemed otherworldly.

Upon seeing this scene, and recalling the words that had just resonated in his mind, the old man's brain, which had just begun to stir, started working at lightning speed.

Thoughts came and went in succession, and soon, a seemingly reasonable answer appeared in my mind.

"I've been resurrected! And it's very likely that this seemingly divine Taoist priest in front of me is the one who did it!"

His mind raced, quickly comparing the appearance before him with all the gods he had ever heard of.

But I couldn't recall a perfect match.

Looking around, I quickly realized where I was, even from a distant memory.

next moment.

"Pfft!"

The old dog, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned around.

He bowed deeply to the white-haired Taoist priest who stood motionless, prostrating himself on the ground. "This humble one, Gouwazi, thanks the Immortal for his resurrection! I have no way to repay this kindness, so I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse!"

However, Lu Gu, the person involved in the incident, showed no change in expression in response to these actions.

He remained calm and spoke.

"You... know you were wrong?"

He repeated what he had just said.

Upon hearing this, the old dog-man kneeling on the ground trembled.

Although the tone was no different, he could detect a hint of impatience.

This time, the old dog dared not hesitate any longer and bent down again.

"Bang bang bang!"

He then kowtowed three more times.

Only then did he speak.

"I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have abducted children! I shouldn't have used evil magic! I deserve to die!"

He shouted it out loud, his words were earnest, and he kowtowed repeatedly.

He confessed to the evil deeds he had committed without reservation, and then offered no further explanation, only kowtowing repeatedly.

He spent his entire life struggling at the bottom of society, so he was all too familiar with the thoughts of these big shots.

Although the person in front of me is most likely a deity, it's probably not that different.

Rather than admitting mistakes, offering explanations, or providing proof, these important figures are more interested in seeing an attitude.

As long as you are humble and sincere enough, that's fine.

Thinking like this.

The old dog ignored the cold, hard tile floor and kept pounding his forehead against it, producing dull thuds.

And now.

Standing still, Lü Gu looked at the scene unfolding before him, a slight smile playing on his lips as he nodded.

"Very good, it seems you do indeed realize your mistake."

"Your suggestion is good, but you deserve to die? I'm in a good mood today, so I won't count for you. Go die in hell yourself."

As he spoke, a malicious sneer appeared on his icy face, and then he waved his hand.

The two villagers were summoned, and in an instant, they used the skin editor to apply the skins they had just created in their minds.

The old dog, who was intently watching the commotion, naturally noticed the wave of his hand and the words he had just uttered.

However, what the deity just said left him somewhat stunned.

"Hell...hell? Ah? Immortal..."

Still somewhat confused and not quite understanding, he looked in the direction where Lü Gu had just waved, and then his words abruptly stopped.

Two plumes of smoke rose from the ground, reaching about a meter high, before quickly dissipating.

In an instant, two figures suddenly appeared in the previously empty stairwell.

The two men, one fat and one thin, one black and one white, were dressed in ancient costumes from an unknown dynasty, with words written on their tall hats.

"Peace reigns throughout the land"

"Instant wealth"

Looking at the two people's attire, the old dog's eyes slowly widened as he raised his head, and his mouth involuntarily opened.

He didn't even bother to wipe the blood slowly seeping from his forehead that got into his eyes.

Ignoring the noble immortal beside him, he desperately darted towards a distant corner.

"Ah! Black! Black! The Black and White Impermanence!!"

At this moment, he also thought of what the white-haired immortal had just said and connected the two who had suddenly appeared.

They also understood what was about to happen.

"No, no! I admit my mistake! I know I was wrong! I repent! I don't want to go to hell! No!"

Shouting, the two figures who had just appeared still approached step by step, brandishing their mourning sticks and chains.

At this moment, the old dog also realized what was happening, turned around, and begged for mercy from Lü Gu, who was wearing a mocking smile.

"Immortal Master, save me! I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I!... Waaah! Waaah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lü Gu frowned, finding it extremely annoying, and simply waved his hand away.

The next moment, the old dog's pleas for mercy abruptly stopped, turning into whimpers.

He then stared wide-eyed in horror and frantically touched what should have been his mouth.

The result was a smooth surface; where was the mouth?

"How annoying! Didn't you just say you knew you were wrong? I've already taken your advice, and you're still not satisfied?"

"Don't be too greedy."

After saying this, he turned around and stopped looking back at the ugly old man who was already crying and wiping away tears.

With a flick of his hand, the phantom images of various items quickly switched, finally settling on a small blackish-purple cube.

Then, he threw it directly to the two "Black and White Impermanence" figures who were wearing skins.

"This is a respawn anchor. You should know how to use it. When he gets to Hell, let him mine glowstone to recharge it himself, or let him wait to be resurrected, for one day."

"Oh, right."

As if remembering something, he flipped his hand over again.

A small, metallic pickaxe, about the size of a palm, appeared.

Immediately with a thought, experience repair and durability enchantments were applied.

After doing all this, Lü Gu tossed the manuscript, which was shimmering with purple light, to the two of them.

"Also, have him dig up some more quartz. Keep a close eye on him and don't let him wander off."

After the order was issued, the two villagers who had undergone skinning nodded to indicate that they had received it.

While AI is not yet capable of supporting conversations, it can still execute commands.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Next, watching the two eerie-looking villagers pin down the old dog who had all his module functions removed.

Lu Gu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before activating the module again.

The newly arrived Black and White Impermanence were first equipped with basic privileges such as "model villager," teleportation and resurrection permissions, etc.

Then a series of permanent buffs were applied.

This includes, but is not limited to, fire resistance, damage absorption, and life recovery.

It also adds some buffs such as night vision, speed, stealth, and levitation.

These two guys are now capable of performing some of the abilities that ghosts and gods should possess.

Add a series of buffs to keep you alive.

Basically, with the current spiritual energy revival, unless you're standing still and being surrounded by a group of people, there's little chance of things going wrong.

In this way, even if two villagers with low intelligence are responsible for watching over people, they won't be tricked into burning to death in the lava by some people who try to be clever.

He nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to the two villagers who had not received any orders and were standing and waiting.

"Go ahead, and while you're at it, learn about the 18 levels of hell and use this person to test things out."

"I'll contact you again when I remember."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two villagers received the order and made two silent hums (Lv Gu Jingyin version).

It then activated the coordinate teleportation permission on its body, and in a flash, it was teleported into the Hell Dimension.

"Well, this matter is now settled. I need to figure out how to launch the next big event. This is really a headache..."

Muttering to himself with some distress, he strolled toward the stairs, taking each step with a different gait.

The figure in the moon-white Taoist robe gradually disappeared amidst the ripples, eventually becoming invisible.

This time, however, they didn't eat from the small glass bottle.
