Mo Qiong originally thought that the so-called God of Light and Air Conditioner was just something that used faith to replace electricity.
But soon, they realized that these two gods also had divine bodies, and they were both Eastern in style.
In the church, other than the God of Light and Air Conditioner, the citizens also believed in the God of Electronic Locks, Water Heaters, and Computer.
"Hehe, why isn't there a God of Refrigerator and Microwave?" Gou Ye complained.
"No means no, why do you ask so many questions … But Mom said that there might be a God of Refrigerator in a few years." Andy recalled.
"Oh? Is there something missing? "Mo Qiong asked.
Little Andy was stunned. "I don't know."
Mo Qiong thought that Andy was still too young. This child was only around five years old, so he didn't know much.
Even if his mom knew what the God of Refrigerator was missing, she wouldn't explain it to him. She would only say, "Yes, yes, there will be one in a few years."
Andy obviously liked the youngest Gou Ye more. He smiled and said, "Oh, where do you live? Did you bring your computer? Let's add each other as friends. "
Andy waved the statue in his hand.
Gou Ye was silent, because this was the so-called Computer God.
People who believed in this god could directly use the statue as a computer … Not only could they connect to the statue to use the functions of the computer, but they could also go online … and they could even connect to the internet on the surface.
Shrines, statues, and pictures could all be mediums for the Computer God.
No matter where they were, as long as there was a statue, and with their own devout faith, they could go online with their eyes closed, as if they were using a holographic computer.
Divine power, Wi-Fi, Psychic surfing. Even underground, as long as they remembered what the Computer God looked like, they could draw a picture and go online.
Just like how the lights didn't need electricity, and the air conditioner was just a shrine.
"Is there a price?" Gou Ye asked.
"Ah?" Andy was confused. What price?
Did faith count? They had to contribute their faith to the various gods every day. Otherwise, they wouldn't have lights, air conditioners, water heaters …
"Come in and talk." Andy invited them into his house to play.
"Is there anyone else in your house?" Mo Qiong looked inside from the window and asked.
Andy shook his head. "My parents went to the church."
As he spoke, he walked to the door and saw a picture of a God stuck on the door.
Andy placed his hands on the portrait, his expression extremely pious, as if he was praying for something.
After more than ten seconds, the door to his house opened with a creak.
"…" Mo Qiong and the others were dumbfounded.
The Computer God's words were mysterious, but after all, they had never experienced it.
However, he had seen the power of this electronic god lock.
There was no lock on the door at all. It was just a simple door panel. The picture pasted on it was the electronic lock god.
It seemed that anything could be locked by it. If one wanted to open it, one could open it by praying.
"Your house is so luxurious …" She only said this in her heart.
Everyone was now certain that this was an anomaly, so they had to figure out the characteristics of these eerie Gods.
Everyone entered Andy's house. They enjoyed the air-conditioning, drank drinks, and ate snacks.
The snacks were candies, and the drinks were ordinary syrup. They tasted sweet, especially to the club members …
The club members usually ate candies, and they were consciously trained to consume large amounts of sugar every day. Although this bit of sweetness was annoying, it was nothing.
Clang, clang, clang. Everyone directly drank. They also heard that there was a shortage of fruits in the underground world, so drinking fruit juice was a luxury. Every week, Andy's house could only receive a small amount of vegetables and fruits.
Master Gou went straight to the point. "What are you playing at?"
"Little Ball Battle … I still can't maintain a stable standby mode. When I was talking to you guys earlier, I accidentally turned it off." Andy said.
"Oh, your output of faith is still unstable?" Mo Qiong said. With their experience, they could speculate a few possibilities with just a few words.
"Yeah, my mom scolded me for not being devout enough … it takes me a long time to turn it on …" Andy was very disappointed and complained to everyone.
From his complaints, everyone understood that in this underground city, faith was king.
It was mainly divided into three classes: Priests, Citizens, and Pariahs.
Citizens didn't need to work at all, or rather, their job was to contribute their faith.
Every day, in addition to their daily use of faith, they also had to offer their faith in the square or the church. The more they contributed, the better their family's living conditions.
The reason why there was a gap between the rich and poor in the city was because different families contributed different amounts of faith.
The power of faith was the currency in circulation!
Through these contributions, they could exchange for water and food, cloth and furniture, even land and houses, daily necessities, and even luxurious accessories.
Some families were extremely devout and naturally lived a rich life.
Some families didn't contribute much faith, so they lived in poverty and couldn't even bear to turn on the 'air conditioner' at home.
There was a minimum limit to the amount of faith they contributed every day. If they couldn't even reach the minimum limit, they would be stripped of their citizenship and transferred to do manual labor.
Those who did manual labor in the work area and didn't have shoes to wear were not devout enough. Of course, a part of it was because they had committed a crime.
If they didn't contribute enough, they would make up for it with time.
Andy's parents went to the church, but actually, they went to work. They prayed from morning to night, so Andy could play computer games with the air conditioner and eat snacks at home.
But Andy always disappointed his parents. His parents were so hardworking and devout, but the little brat Andy was worse than his peers in terms of faith.
When he was five years old, when he prayed to the computer god, he couldn't even do a stable standby. The start-up time was two hours! The next Great Battle of Ball Ball took eight days!
The kid next door was only one year older than him, but he could already catch up!
If this continued, when Andy grew up, he might very well become a pariah. Andy's parents saw this and were anxious in their hearts. Tears were rolling in their stomachs.
In the underground city, 15 was the age of adulthood.
Before the age of 15, children didn't need to bear the obligations of citizenship. But after 15, if they couldn't meet the requirements of citizenship, they would be demoted to pariah status.
Therefore, every family hoped that their children would be more pious.
A sensible child would provide the air conditioner and lights in the house by himself to train his prayer ability.
Of course, using the computer was also a form of training. But Andy was easily distracted and couldn't win against others in computer games.
The performance and internet speed of the computer god was linked to the material of the statue, but it was mainly linked to the devout faith.
The stability of prayer was the key to maintaining standby. If one could sincerely believe in the god at any time, their mind would always reflect the computer.
The stronger the faith, the faster the start-up, the higher the performance, and the better the internet speed.
It took Andy more than two hours to boot up, but it took him eight days to play the next Penguin game. Even though he was only five years old, he was considered to be the worst among his peers.
As for maintaining standby, it was a basic operation. It meant that a person's heart was instinctively devout and had already integrated faith into their bones. They could output faith at any time.
Andy would often automatically shut down, which meant that his heart wasn't sincere and his faith was too deliberate. He could only pray when he was focused.
Citizens could integrate prayer into their daily lives. Raising their hands and raising their feet, they were all praying.
This kind of state where one's heart was filled with reverence for the god was something that most people in the city could do.
Of course, most children couldn't do it. This was normal. After all, Andy was only five years old and his heart was like a monkey.
But if he couldn't do it at the age of 15, he would definitely be a pariah.
In Gaia City, devoutness was the standard of morality. Faith was the foundation.
