National Fortune Bonus: After the new player awakens at the maximum level, he will kill like crazy

"I see the uneasiness and confusion deep within your soul. This chaotic battlefield is not your destiny. The thread of fate has led me to you, and I will grant you...true power and purpose!"

He opened his arms, and behind him emerged an illusory image of Asgard emitting a sacred (false) light. His tone was filled with compassion.

"Join me and become an apostle of the God of Trickery! I will grant you the wisdom to see through all things and the power to walk in the shadows! Together we will restore order and establish a new order in this turmoil of the Abyss!"

Loki was brimming with confidence. His "three-pronged tactic" (prayers, mental suggestion, and background effects) was always effective against this youngster! He was even imagining the other party bowing down in gratitude.

However....

Qi Mo blinked his innocent-looking blue eyes. Far from being fooled, he looked at Loki like he was a fool. He scratched his head and spoke slowly with a slight local accent (probably from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai free shipping area):

"This... uh... Brother God of Trickery? Your business... isn't very good."

Loki: “???” The smile on his handsome yet brutally handsome face froze—business? What business?

"Look," Qi Mo counted on his fingers and began to analyze seriously, "First of all, your 'power-granting' pie is too big and too vague."

"'See all things'? What exactly can it see? Stock trends? Lottery numbers? Or whether the guy next door is having an affair? 'Walking shadows'? Can it turn you invisible? Can it walk through walls?"

"Ahem, can you conduct strategic intelligence gathering? You need to give me some quantitative indicators! For example, what percentage does it increase strength by? How long is the skill cooldown? Are there any side effects? Is there any after-sales service?"

Loki: “…” Even the poisonous snake on the scepter forgot to spit out its tongue.

"Secondly," Qi Mo continued, his eyes sharpening like a shrewd accountant checking accounts, "Your vision of 'establishing a new order' sounds quite intimidating. But what are the core values ​​of the new order?"

"Is it fair? Efficient? Or... you have the final say? How will the equity be distributed? Who are the original shareholders? Has the angel round of financing been secured? Do you have a detailed BP (business plan)? Has the RAR (risk assessment report) been completed?"

"Urobuchi is a shabby place, with ridiculously high policy, market, and credit risks. You're trying to get something for nothing... your risk exposure is too high, isn't it?"

Loki remained speechless: "..." He felt his godhood had been insulted like never before! What did this guy think of him? An insurance salesman? Or someone involved in illegal fundraising?!

"Finally," Qi Mo sighed, a look of regret on his face that said, "Your project is hopeless," "The most important thing is... your endorsement is not good enough!"

He pointed at the illusory projection of Asgard behind Loki. "Asgard? Oh, the company that was blown to pieces by Ragnarok, and whose boss, Odin, is now dead?"

"You're using a shell company that's in bankruptcy and liquidation to trick people into buying shares? Its credit rating... must be negative infinity, right? How are my rights, as an investor, protected? What's your collateral? This spitting snake stick?"

As Qi Mo spoke, a look of disgust appeared on his clear and stupid face, and he glanced at Loki's scepter.

Loki's face darkened completely! He had roamed the Nine Realms for tens of thousands of years, fooling countless heroes, gods, and demons with his words, and yet today, a young boy pointed at his nose and scolded him for "bad business," "pie-in-the-sky," and "bankruptcy"?!

"How dare you!" Loki finally lost his composure, his elegance gone. He pointed his scepter at Qi Mo, a dark green light surging. "You ignorant ant! How dare you blaspheme the divine power! I am the God of Trickery! I control..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Qi Mo waved his hand impatiently, interrupting his charlatan speech. "Stop using those fancy titles! Let's get down to business! Is your title of 'God of Tricks' officially recognized?"

"A business license issued by the General Administration of Industry and Commerce? Or a stamp from some other authority? Is it ISO9001 certified? Oh, maybe you don't understand this... Simply put, is your deity legal and compliant? Are you running an unlicensed, black market workshop?"

Loki was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and the venomous snake on his scepter began to hiss angrily! He wanted to turn this sharp-tongued boy into a frog immediately!

But just as he was about to make a move—

hum! ! !

Without warning, an indescribable, boundless aura erupted from Qi Mo's body! A pure, sacred golden halo, seemingly imbued with the fundamental laws of the universe, instantly enveloped his entire body like a top-tier anti-counterfeiting watermark!

The light was not dazzling, but it carried an unquestionable and supreme majesty!

"Universe... Cosmic Consciousness Certification?!" Loki's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets! The scepter's light instantly dimmed, and his arrogant aura deflated like a popped balloon!

He was so familiar with this golden light! It was the mark of authority that belonged only to his boss, Azathoth, symbolizing the very origin of the universe! Although it felt subtly different (seemingly more... human?), that aura of origin was unmistakable!

"You...how did you get this?!" Loki's voice changed, filled with disbelief and a hint of...horror?

Is this guy the illegitimate son of Lord Azathoth?! Or... did the boss change?! And this henchman of mine got laid off?!

Qi Mo brushed off the nonexistent dust on his body, and the golden light faded. He resumed his harmless appearance, but with a sly smile on his lips, like a little fox that had stolen a chicken:

"Oh? You mean this?" He slowly pulled out a card from his pocket (no one knew where his casual clothes had pockets)... a glittering golden card inlaid with complex runes, and waved it in front of Loki's eyes.

"I just got the 'Universe Super-Grade Profligate License,' which comes with 'Original Fraud Immunity.' How's that? Much more legitimate than your makeshift 'God of Trickster' license, right?"

Loki looked at the genuine runes of the origin of the universe flowing on the card, and then looked at Qi Mo's smiling face that was filled with the words "harmony brings wealth", and an unprecedented feeling of frustration surged in his heart!

He, Loki, the God of Trickery! The kingpin of the scam world! Today! Surprisingly! He was defeated by a profiteer with an "official certification"! Using his signature trickery?! And what a fucking dimensionality reduction attack!

This feeling... is like a person selling fake medicine on the street who runs into the inspection team leader of the Drug Administration Bureau and is given a legal education on the spot using the Drug Administration Law!

"You...you..." Loki pointed at Qi Mo, his fingers trembling, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
