"This is your perk. After you officially acknowledge me as your master, you will receive a hundred merit points every month. To be precise, it will be replenished to a hundred points. In a month, if you obtain more than a hundred merit points, the System will reward you with an additional hundred points. If you obtain more than a thousand merit points, the System will reward you with an additional thousand merit points. And so on and so forth, "said the System.
"That good?" Fangzheng was instantly delighted, but he immediately realized something. "That's not right. Then my merit points shouldn't be that low, right?"
"That's why it's best you don't interrupt me when I'm talking," said the System very seriously.
Fangzheng could not help but recall a joke he had accidentally seen while watching the news … Interrupting … Heh heh …
Boom!
A bolt of lightning landed in front of Fangzheng.
Fangzheng, who had not been struck by lightning in a long time, was so frightened that he nearly collapsed. He subconsciously wanted to say his catchphrase. "Aiyah, holy sh * t …"
Almost at the same time, a bolt of lightning appeared above his head. It condensed in midair as though it would strike his shiny head at any moment.
Fangzheng changed the words he was about to say. "I'll go drink some water!"
The lightning dissipated as Fangzheng wiped his cold sweat. He said unhappily, "System, can you be more reasonable? I didn't say or do anything. Why did you strike me? Besides, even if I cursed, it was the first time I cursed today. You can't strike me, right? "
"I want to nurture you into an accomplished monk. Your thoughts were too filthy. Furthermore, you were consciously thinking about me. I could sense such thoughts and couldn't help it," said the System lightly.
"You … Even if you couldn't help it, you can't act recklessly," said Fangzheng, feeling extremely depressed.
"Alright, it was my mistake this time. I won't take note of it in the future," said the System shamelessly.
Fangzheng was rendered completely speechless. Indeed, the System was definitely a counterfeit. It did not resemble a Buddha System at all. It was more like a shameless System. It clung to him and refused to leave. Furthermore, it acted shamelessly at every turn. Fangzheng could do nothing about it. All he could do was take note of it. In the future, if he had any thoughts, he would not think of telling the System. That way, he would not be able to sense it. He could curse freely …
Fangzheng said, "You sure are ruthless. Tell me, what's next?"
The system continued, "If you don't obtain more than 100 merit points in a month, the system will only help you replenish your merit points to 100 instead of giving you an additional 100 merit points. Do you understand? So, if you really want to renounce asceticism, you need to accumulate merit. The system is very generous. However much you earn, it will compensate you double. How about that? Now that you think about it, don't you feel a little excited? "
Fangzheng immediately replied, "Heh heh."
What a joke. How many merit points would he get from saving people? One hundred points. He had to save dozens of people every month. Where was he going to find so many people?
With this in mind, Fangzheng stretched his back. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he had to continue being a master. The point was, other than being a little poor, he was actually living a pretty good life …
Days passed, and as the sun rose higher and higher, it became hotter and hotter. The earth finally recovered completely, and the flowers bloomed in the warmth of spring.
On this day, Wang Yougui called.
"Venerable Fangzheng, haha! It's great news." The moment Fangzheng picked up the phone, he heard Wang Yougui's laughter.
Fangzheng asked out of curiosity, "Patron Wang, what's the good news?"
"Hehe, I have no idea how that fellow, Yang Hua, got lucky. He won the lottery not long ago. Hehe, he earned a total of five million. After taxes, he still has four million. That fellow has completely struck it rich. However, that bastard is quite capable. He was afraid that his wife would be too excited from hearing it and end up hurting the baby, so he kept quiet. Today, he drank too much with Dog Song and said it out loud. Nice, now this fellow is awesome. He walks with the wind, even more awesome than me, the village chief. Haha! "Wang Yougui laughed out loud.
Only then did Fangzheng recall that the last time he borrowed a hoe from Yang Hua, he had seen Yang Hua's glowing face and beaming with joy. Through his Heavenly Eye, he had seen Yang Hua win the lottery. Fangzheng even said that he was about to strike it rich … He was still puzzled. Why hadn't there been any commotion after so long? So it was because Yang Hua had been holding it in and not because his Heavenly Eye was wrong.
Fangzheng smiled. "That's a good thing."
"Of course it's a good thing. However, that good thing belongs to Yang Hua. It has nothing to do with you. The good thing I'm talking about is that this punk still has a conscience. He came to me today. I heard that the county government has decided to allocate funds to our village to mend roads. This fellow took the initiative to donate 500,000 yuan to the village. Furthermore, he mentioned that he wants to mend the mountain path up Mt. One Finger. Don't you think that's a good thing? "Wang Yougui said with a smile.
Fangzheng immediately turned spirited when he heard that. Why had One Finger Monastery always been so tepid? It had a lot to do with the road up the mountain. Although the Village to Village Engineering Award had allowed all the villages to pave cement roads, Village to Village Engineering was not smooth. His road up the mountain had always been terrible. In the past, the mountain path had long been in ruins. There were pits everywhere, and there were no railings by the side. If he accidentally fell, even immortals would not be able to save him. Back then, Zhao Datong had nearly fallen to his death on the mountain path. Especially on rainy or snowy days, the mountain path was even more difficult to traverse.
As the saying went, to be rich, one had to mend the road. The road was the crux of the crux. Fangzheng had been pondering over how to mend the road, but unfortunately, he had no money. Now that he suddenly realized that he had money, he immediately smiled. After all, he was only a master on the surface. Deep down, he was a kind and radiant boy. How could he not be happy when the benefits were at his doorstep?
Hence, Fangzheng said, "Really? That's great. Heh heh. "
"But here comes the problem. It's a little difficult to mend a mountain path with five hundred thousand. The labor and material costs might not be enough. Don't you still have five hundred thousand? Hehe. "Wang Yougui laughed dryly. His meaning was clear.
When Fangzheng heard that, his eyes welled up. His five hundred thousand? He wanted to use it to mend the road, but the problem was … he had spent it! Furthermore, there was no way he could explain how much he had spent it. Was he to tell Wang Yougui that he had used five hundred thousand to upgrade his Buddhist divine power? He would probably be smacked to death by Wang Yougui.
"Fangzheng? Why aren't you saying anything? "Wang Yougui hurriedly asked when he saw Fangzheng remain silent.
Fangzheng said with a bitter smile, "Patron Wang, I'm afraid that won't do. My money was used to save someone."
"Save someone? Who … Who did you save? "Wang Yougui was stunned before his voice immediately turned solemn.
Fangzheng said, "I saved someone whose life was in danger. My heart softened and I spent it."
"Sigh, you. You don't go down the mountain all day. Do you think the people outside are as simple as the people in our village? I really suspect that you have been scammed. Sigh, forget it. The money is yours. I won't say anything else. In short, if such matters happen again in the future, it's best you tell me. I'll give you some advice. There are not only good people in this world. "Wang Yougui felt his heart ache when he heard that. Five hundred thousand! He had given it to someone else just like that. Why was this punk so magnanimous?
