The World of Evil God game.

In confusion and shock, the priest did not go to find Alice, but went to find the dean first.

However, when he arrived at the dean's office, he found a person of a different race there.

It should be a black dwarf. The red nose and big beard are the most obvious features of a dwarf. However, the priest had only seen this race in storybooks in the past, but this time he saw it with his own eyes.

"Ah, Father, what's up?" The director was a tall, thin old man who had always been worried about the operation of the orphanage. But today he was smiling and seemed very happy. He introduced the priest, "This is the messenger from the fictional church."

The dean didn't know how to address the black dwarf. Calling him a bishop wasn't right, calling him a missionary wasn't right, and calling him a priest wasn't right either. Although the dean told him not to mind these titles and just call him a temporary worker,

In the end, the dean decided to call the other party an envoy, which was more formal.

"I want to tell you a good news. Our orphanage has attracted a large investment from the Fictional Church and other churches. Our orphanage can run better. And they are going to open a co-branded cooperative supermarket near our orphanage."

"Supermarket?" The priest tried hard to search his memory. He was sure that he had seen this word while surfing the Internet not long ago. It seemed to be a building facility opened by a fictional church that sold various products.

And it seems that the fictional supermarket can also be accessed online.

"Cooperation? But our orphanage doesn't have any funds." The priest was a little nervous. This was just a remote world without any special output. Why would a project as big as a fictional supermarket cooperate with this orphanage?

"Of course you have the most special output. To be honest, although the gods value money very much, there is another important criterion above money, and that is value."

The black dwarf began to explain, stroking his beard: "It is the children here that the gods value."

"Child?" The priest immediately thought of some bad situations, but the next sentence of the black dwarf left him confused.

"Children have wild imaginations, and these imaginations are the values ​​that gods need! Everything they do in their imaginary fantasies and dreams will become truly valuable after being projected into the dream plane!"

"These values ​​please the gods more than a few gold coins! The purpose of the church's preaching is not only to gather faith, but more importantly, to gather the various values ​​possessed by believers and even non-believers. Faith is just one of the ways to collect value."

"Imagination?" The priest was puzzled. "So, the children don't have to do anything. They don't even have to pay any extra price. They just need to fantasize in their minds every day?"

"How can you fantasize every day? You need to combine work and rest, understand? Fantasize for a while, then take a break and continue fantasizing. This is called sustainable fantasy." The black dwarf corrected him immediately!

The priest looked at the dean, who spread his hands and said, "I did some research and found that this is probably true."

"I can't imagine such a thing." The puzzled look on the priest's face became more intense, just like when he searched on the Internet and found that all the gods were greedy for money. He felt like his faith was shattered.

"So people who are too realistic cannot provide this kind of fantasy value, and their dreams are more rigid. People like you are not very valuable. Sometimes you need to think more, empty your mind, and look for the dreams or wishes you have lost in the past, just like me." The black dwarf comforted the priest:

"I used to be a factory worker, living a hard life every day, but occasionally I would go to various churches to steal divine props and goods. At that time, there was no fictional god, no fictional supermarket, and the goods of each church were circulated in a small range, which was not very convenient."

"The situation is completely different now. You can do whatever you want through the virtual world. Next, the gods will set up an Art Star nearby. It is a fragment of an entire new era. If you have ever had a life dream that you wanted to realize but failed to do so, go to the Art Star. Your dreams will transcend time and space, from the deep sea to the endless starry sky. The star that can realize all dreams is right above your head!"

"But we do charge an operating fee. Don't worry, the price won't be too high. The gods set prices for goods and services based on the needs of the customers, except for the items from the Victory Church, which are fixed priced. But they can't come for the time being."

The black dwarf left quickly, and the priest and the dean discussed again.

"I really feel like this is an invitation from the devil." The priest clasped his hands together, and the dean did not speak. Instead, he typed on the forum login app in an unskilled way. In fact, the forum login app can also be input through the mind, but the dean felt that the mind connection was not very comfortable, and sometimes if he lost his concentration, all the typed content would be cleared.

The dean typed in the word "devil", and a large number of search results popped up.

"Which demon are you looking for?"

The dean looked at the stunned priest and said, "Unlike our local demon stories, the demons in the universe seem to be just a common pan-race. Many lives are called demons."

"Perhaps our local demons also came from the other side of the universe."

The priest once again realized the fact that this world was just a remote countryside. However, the phrase "beyond the starry sky" was too distant and vast. For an ordinary person like him, being able to live a stable and peaceful life was the greatest happiness.

But for some reason, the words of the black dwarf came to mind.

Life dreams that I once wanted to achieve but failed to achieve

Priest: "Dean, do you have a dream? Not the current one, but the one that has not been realized."

"An unfulfilled dream." The dean sighed, "I was once a brave adventurer, until I was shot in the knee."

"But there are many adventurers who have been shot in the knee. I recently found a small forum with many former adventurers who retired and did various jobs. Almost everyone said they had a history of being shot in the knee. Some people suspected that there might be a god of knees in the universe."

Would the god of knees allow arrows to hit the knees? Shouldn't they avoid the knees and shoot somewhere else? And why is there a god who cares about knees?

The priest had this idea of ​​complaining in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

"When I was young, I listened to those adventure stories passed down by word of mouth and thought that adventure was a very powerful and great thing. But when I grew up a little and actually worked as an adventurer, I found that this job was not only hard, but also that I would hardly encounter those strange things described in the stories."

“Ancient heroic spirits, temples of gods, historical relics, oceans of twinkling stars, towers reaching to the sky, steel warships. These stories are just stories after all, and real adventurers are just running around all day for trivial things.”

"Until one time I was hired to fight in a war, and I was shot in the knee by an arrow. I suffered severe trauma in the war and had hearing problems."

"After retiring, I felt it was time to leave the adventurer industry. I started reading and read some ancient books about the creation story of our world. I began to firmly believe that there are gods in this world, so I began to believe in him. But he didn't give me any response."

"Have you read this book? The Adventures of Ancient Dragon and Steel."

"No, I didn't." The priest shook his head.

The dean sighed, "This is a book written by an adventurer 150 years ago. It made me yearn for adventure and started searching for more adventure books, including fan fiction of this book, and even looked up ancient documents, which ignited my adventurous spirit." The dean was very happy, but soon the happy expression disappeared again:

“However, becoming an adventurer was just an impulse of my youth. It was only after I read a lot of books that I found my dream. I wanted to be a poet or a composer, but that is no longer possible.”

"I used to think that I should do something to leave a mark of my existence in this world, but the reality is too heavy. I think I should give up that unrealistic dream and do something I can really do in reality. That must be something I can do within my ability."

"Later, wars broke out in several countries. I gathered the war orphans and established this orphanage. I felt that this was what I could do with my power. Later, because I had read a lot of ancient documents, I was often invited by some people to interpret books. I gradually became famous by helping people interpret documents, and this orphanage could also operate normally with the funds I earned."

"You already know what happened after that."

"You are still young. If you have a dream, why not try it right away? The messenger of God is right. Only children have a rich imagination and are keen to quickly absorb new things. As for us, we pay more attention to the reality in front of us and ignore our past life and dreams."

The priest felt a little sad after listening to this. It was the first time he knew that the director of this orphanage had such an exciting past. He had been an adventurer, a war veteran, and had dreams of becoming a poet and composer. He was also a scholar who was well-versed in ancient documents.

He lowered his head, feeling the power hidden in his right hand. In the past, he had to give up his dream in life due to his physical disability, but relying on his smart mind, he stood out from the seminary and quickly became a formal priest.

Although the gods in their world are almost non-existent, the profession of priest can still learn to resonate with the elements and thus eliminate some hostile creatures entrenched in this world, which plays an important role in maintaining social stability.

Of course, after checking online, the priest now understood that the so-called "element resonance" should actually be an ability mastered by "magic apprentices". In other words, his own power was not brought by the Void God at all, and the so-called "seminary" study was just a normal "magic apprentice study".

In the starry sky, my profession should be called wild magician. But magicians rarely believe in gods. But those gods don't care.

Perhaps this is the normal way for humans and gods to get along? The priest couldn't help but wonder, and facing the impact from the other side of the starry sky, he estimated that the local seminary would soon be unable to sit still, either cutting ties with the starry sky or starting to promote the gods of the other side as evil gods. No, it seems that the gods were evil gods from the beginning.

After all, people on the Internet say that they are weird, and each of them has unique skills that can bring endless surprises to everyone.

"My current dream is to become a formal magician. But this doesn't seem to be a dream. I heard that I can go to a magic academy to pay to study, so compared to becoming a magician, my previous dream was..."

“I want to open a dessert shop and create incredible desserts using a variety of ingredients.”

Seeing the Dean's surprised expression, the priest couldn't help but laugh: "But I'm pretty smart, so since I was a kid many people told me not to work as a pastry chef. They asked me to study, and I always responded to their expectations. When I was in seminary, eight out of ten subjects scored above 90 points."

"But because I was missing a hand, I lost a lot of points in the practical class. Later they assigned me to this orphanage. I think it's good here. There are many books to read and no one will rush me. I have met their expectations and became a priest through study. When I have nothing to do, I will go to the kitchen to make some bread. This kind of life is not bad."

"The dream of life," the old dean sighed, "How many people have given up their original dreams due to various reasons in reality? Perhaps those dreams are insignificant and cannot be compared with the later achievements, but that may not be the right life that one wants."

At night, the priest took the children back to their respective rooms. Alice greeted him and said that she would have a better dream tonight. The priest hesitated and called Alice.

"You are right. There is something wrong with my robotic arm."

Alice's eyes widened in disbelief.

The priest nodded and said, "Alice, you have a talent for becoming a mechanic. Perhaps that is what you learned in your dream?"

"No, I don't know why." Alice scratched her head: "I just suddenly understood the structure of those parts."

"Hmm, could it be that I wanted to become a mechanic and I dreamed of a steel mecha, so I understood the structure of the parts? Then I'm going to read some books about the starry sky tonight. There are many such books in the library on the forum. In this way, I can become an astronomer!"

The priest was a little worried: "The forum's virtual library does have a lot of amazing documents and books. It is said that they are books from different worlds throughout the universe. When viewed in the virtual world, they will automatically match and adjust according to the viewer's own world language."

"But I saw some bad news when I was surfing the Internet before, such as some books may lead to some dangerous mysterious creatures that cannot be dealt with. You must be careful when reading books. If there is a risk warning, do not ignore the risk."

"Also, I'm going to have a sweet dream. It only costs ten silver coins, right?"

That was the life that I was once forced to forget. Perhaps everything will be different in this dream?
