Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 36 The City Lord Arrives in Person! A Shocking Reform!

He saw Lu Chen openly calling him an idiot.

Song Hao immediately slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Lu Chen, who are you calling an idiot?"

Lu Chen gave him a deep look: "Come on, if you're so capable, why don't you film it again?"

"What's wrong with me taking pictures!"

Song Hao shouted loudly, but his hands remained motionless.

"Tch, what a disgrace."

"Hahaha."

The class immediately erupted in laughter.

"you!"

Song Hao gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do about Lu Chen.

Based on physique, he really couldn't beat Lu Chen, who was 1.8 meters tall.

Although the latter is a bit thinner.

But it can't withstand the advantage of being longer and stronger.

"You just wait, wait until I get blessed by the Heavenly Official, then I'll make you pay!"

Song Hao clenched his fists secretly, deciding to play it safe for now.

As long as he reaches the first rank.

At that time, we'll settle all scores, old and new!

"By the way, Lu Chen, have you heard?"

Li Ruoyi steered the conversation back on track and suddenly asked a question.

"What?"

Lu Chen was thirsty, so he opened Li Ruoyi's milk and took a sip.

"I heard that the day before yesterday, dark clouds loomed over the Zhao Clan Temple, and there were even scarlet flames. An insider on the internet revealed that someone was worshipping the King of Hell in the underworld at the Zhao Clan Temple."

"Oh, is that so?" Lu Chen's heart stirred slightly.

"Yes," Li Ruoyi said, her face filled with shock. "You know, these days there are all sorts of people, even worshipping the King of Hell. Don't they find that unlucky?"

Lu Chen coughed and said, "The King of Hell is a righteous god, so how can he be considered unlucky?"

"Don't you know what the underworld is for? Isn't that bad luck?"

"Okay, okay, this is bad luck."

Lu Chen blamed himself for talking too much.

"But speaking of which, this Zhao Clan Temple is quite something. The day before yesterday, it produced you, and yesterday it produced a spirit who caused strange phenomena in the underworld."

However, I didn't see your message online.

It's really strange.

Anyway, now everyone says the Zhao Family Temple is very efficacious, and even more people are going there.

When I went to pray for blessings yesterday, I almost couldn't squeeze in.

Fortunately, I finally managed to raise the level of Wenchang Dijun's divine favorability to 3%.

Li Ruoyi's lips curled up, a hint of pride in her expression.

"Congratulations! Li is indeed exceptionally talented!"

Lu Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Come on, you monster who boosted by 5% in one go, and you're congratulating me?"

A sense of surreptitiousness appeared on Li Ruo's face.

Lu Chen kept his eyes down, seemingly lost in thought, and simply smiled faintly.

To be honest, he's lost all interest in this kind of low-brow pretentiousness.

The sworn brother of the God of Wealth, the quasi-adopted son of the King of Hell, and the [General of the Underworld's Mighty Righteous Virtue] appointed by the Underworld!
If you secretly feel pleased with such low-level flattery, you're really lowering your standards.

"However, the Zhao Clan Temple is cautious, fearing that the elder brother will take away the incense offerings of the God of Wealth Zhao. They probably put a lot of effort into suppressing the news."

Lu Chen thought to himself, "You can only find out if they want you to, and you won't hear a whisper if they don't want you to. This powerful clan really can control everything!"

Just as I was pondering this, a notice from the school leaders suddenly came over the classroom loudspeaker:

"Attention all advanced classes! Assemble on the school playground immediately!"

As the announcement was repeated three times, the homeroom teacher quickly entered the classroom.

"Form ranks! Move out!"

A commotion immediately broke out in the classroom.

Lu Chen and Song Hao both perked up at the same time!
"The reform (blessing) has finally arrived!"

……

A moment later, five hundred students from ten senior classes at Jiangdu No. 3 Middle School were lined up neatly on the playground.

A grand platform was erected in front of everyone, with a banner in the background that read "Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School 54th Servant God Test".

There were many people standing on the stage, including the principal of No. 3 Middle School.

This usually authoritative figure at school appeared unusually low-key in the crowd, standing like a lackey.

In contrast, the posture of these strangers next to me is frighteningly strong!
Wait until everyone is in place.

The principal walked to the microphone and began to speak: "Dear students, as we all know, today is the God-Serving Test Competition."

However, before we officially begin, I have some exciting news to share with you all. Today, our Third Middle School is very honored to have Lord Jiangcheng, Yu Feng, here to offer his guidance!

Next, let's give a warm round of applause to Lord Yu for saying a few words! (Applause)

The audience was in an uproar.

Lu Chen clapped his hands while secretly feeling a chill run down his spine.

I never expected that this mere restructuring would warrant the personal presence of the city lord. This level of protocol… isn't it a bit too high!
In other words, those strangers on stage were all leaders of Jiangdu City?
"Hello everyone, I am Yu Feng."

On the stage, Yu Feng, the city lord, cleared his throat and smiled slightly: "Time is limited, so I'll keep it short, because there are still a few schools waiting for me to host."

"Today's test will likely affect many people, because starting with your class, the country has officially decided to fully reform the advanced classes. In the future, a special class will be added on the basis of the advanced classes."

As for the specific details of the reform, I won't explain them here; Principal Zhang will explain them to you later.

What I want to say is that after the reform, you may be ushering in the best era.

An era that will reward your talents!

As long as you have ambition, you can enjoy rights in this era that far exceed those of your predecessors!

He was promoted to high office and made a marquis or prime minister!
As long as you have the ability!
"We can satisfy all your needs!"

The audience erupted in cheers and applause.

Yu Feng smiled and waved: "I wish everyone all the best!"

After Yu Feng finished speaking, he returned to the queue.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Restructuring? Special class? What exactly do they mean?"

"I don't know, this is so sudden!"

"Yes, there wasn't a single sign!"

The principal took over again: "Alright, next I'll tell you about the details of this restructuring..."

Lu Chen listened attentively, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Just as Deng Jiajia had said, it was almost exactly the same.

First rule: Students with a God-serving score below 2% will be forced to graduate.

Only the students who remain are eligible to compete for a spot in the elite class.

Unsurprisingly, this news instantly ignited the entire audience.

Many students who knew they did not meet the standards broke down in tears on the spot.

Some people even fainted.

The school seemed to have been prepared, as medical staff immediately brought in a stretcher.

Lu Chen, who witnessed this scene, could only sigh.

If it weren't for this time travel, the original owner would probably be one of the desperate people right now.

"I understand how everyone feels, but some choices have to be made."

The principal sighed and continued, "The second reform point... is the decentralization of the task mode!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's heart pounded, and his blood boiled violently!

Just as Sun Yourong said, the mission permissions were opened ahead of schedule!

Starting with Lu Chen's class, they no longer need to wait until graduation; they can take on missions now and earn rewards and military merits!

—Military merit!
If money was the only thing that could affect Lu Chen when he couldn't afford meat, then money was the only thing that could stir his emotions.

The money problem has now been initially resolved.

Military merit, without a doubt, became something that once again touched a nerve with Lu Chen.

Want to join a newly wealthy family, or even climb higher!
Military merit is the most crucial indicator!
none of them!

Because money can be borrowed, stolen, or even robbed!
But military merits can't be borrowed or bought; you have to earn them yourself!
Many families are not short of money at all, but because they don't have enough military merit, they can't reach the threshold of "new rich" in their entire lives and can't afford to open a temple!
"Alright, I'll explain the further details regarding admission after the test. Now, I declare the test officially open! Those whose 'Servant God' rating is below 2% should leave; those who meet the standard should remain!"

The voice just fell.

hum! ! !
Ten classrooms and ten machines started up almost simultaneously.

Like ten ruthless shredders, they gradually shredded the ranks of each class, including their lives and dreams.

A hard target of 2% is enough to filter out more than 70% of the people.

For a time, shouts of "elimination" echoed across the playground.

Each student had to loudly proclaim their rank.

Lu Chen, who was at the very end of the line, was speechless.

Can't we have some privacy?
The point is to make it known to everyone.

Most of the students who were eliminated were in the top 1%.

Even with slightly better results, the score barely reaches 2%.

The key point is that his affinity with the God of Wealth is a full 43%!

Moreover, Lu Chen was confident that his affinity with the Old King of Hell would not be lower than 30%.

When the time comes, I'll reveal my two divine servants.

Won't this hurt these students' feelings too much?

"Wait a minute!" Lu Chen suddenly thought, "Since even the temple can't detect the level of service to the underworld, the school's testing machine probably doesn't have a module for the underworld either. In that case, I should only be detected with one level of service to the underworld."

Lu Chen's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, at least it will save them from being hurt once."

Lu Chen just wants to finish the process as soon as possible and then take on the task.

What's a real man doing putting on airs?

Farming is the only way to succeed!

　I originally intended to quickly filter this section, but after writing it yesterday, I realized the rhythm was off.

　　Reluctantly, I'll just have to write it honestly...

　　In addition, the temperature difference between the past two days has been too great, and the young author seems to have caught a slight chill, feeling dizzy.

　　Remember to keep warm, everyone.
