Chapter 36 Du Kang: I can’t drink (please give me monthly votes and follow up~)
The City God of Guicheng looks ordinary in appearance. He is a middle-aged man who would be hard to find if he were thrown into a crowd.
However, when he wore the city god's attire and sat in the hall to judge the ghosts, he showed an unspeakable majesty, an aura that had been cultivated over hundreds of years.
It's just that Du Kang didn't feel any discomfort or restraint because of this temperament. Apart from the fact that a mere city god, no matter how majestic he was, could not shock Du Kang who had seen the world, the main reason was actually that although Du Kang arrived
When they went to the City God's Temple, they saw the City God interrogating the ghosts, but when they met formally, it was in private - as soon as they saw Shi Yuye and Du Kang arriving, it was obvious that the City God ended the interrogation in a hurry, then took a rest and held a banquet.
Wait, and his attitude...
"Empress, Mr. Du, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"
The city god took the initiative to raise his wine glass, and there was even a hint of flattery in the smile on his face. If he hadn't been sitting on the main seat, with Shi Yuye in the first seat and Du Kang in the second seat, then Du Kang's "superior leaders went to the countryside to inspect" would have been
The visual sense will be perfect.
"Thank you for a long time, Lord City God." Du Kang smiled back and raised the glass, but did not put it to his mouth. He just gestured, "I can't drink. I'm really sorry."
"Oh, this is my negligence. I forgot about this. Come here, serve tea to Mr. Du quickly, use the best tea!" The city god was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ordered.
"You can't drink?" Shi Yuye asked curiously.
"Yes, drinking will make you feel uncomfortable." Du Kang nodded, "Are you a little sorry for my name?"
"I'm really a little sorry." Shi Yuye joked, "At least I have enough capacity to hold a thousand cups."
Du Kang just smiled and shook his head.
In fact, it's not that Du Kang can't drink wine, but... for him, wine is too hard to drink.
It’s not that the city god deliberately made things difficult and gave wine of extremely poor quality, but that from childhood to adulthood, no matter what kind of wine it was, cheap or expensive, ordinary or rare, how many years it had been buried, what brewing method it was... In Du Kang’s place
, but they are all two-word evaluations-it tastes bad!
The difference is nothing more than "cannot even smell it", "extremely unpleasant to drink", "extremely unpleasant to drink", "very unpleasant to drink", "relatively unpleasant to drink", "unpalatable to drink"... Anyway, Du Kang has not tasted it so far
He has never encountered any kind of wine that he can evaluate as "drinkable" or "delicious", so he simply refuses on the excuse that he can't drink.
According to Du Kang's judgment from the taste, the quality of the wine Cheng Huang served this time has reached the point of "unpalatable". Although it sounds strange to say this, it is indeed a rare good wine in the world and of excellent quality.
After three rounds of wine and tea, and a few polite words with little value, the City God couldn't wait to get down to business.
Du Kang was actually looking forward to it. The food at the City God's banquet was indeed delicious, but compared with it, the salary negotiation was more important.
"Presumably, the empress has discussed the relevant matters with Mr. Du before."
Cheng Huang said very simply: "I don't like to go round and round, I just like to be direct. So, Mr. Du, just tell me what you need. As long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely do it."
This is just waiting for Du Kang to make a price, and it feels like putting yourself on the chopping board, like a "lamb to be slaughtered".
"Okay, Lord Cheng Huang is indeed generous." Du Kang was not eager to quote, but said, "But before discussing the remuneration, I still need to explain the length of time I can cover the shift.
I am not able to cover shifts here for a long time, and I have other things to do, so the time I can cover shifts in a month is not fixed..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can come when you have time!" Cheng Huang waved his hand and said the humblest words in the most generous tone.
It can be seen that he really wants to get off work.
"Since you, Lord Chenghuang, have no objection to this, it's easy to say. Since the time when I can come on my behalf is not stable, and I'm not sure how many days I can come here every month, I will just follow the schedule when I come on my behalf every day.
How about settling the transactions based on the total amount of incense contained in them?" Du Kang added.
"Isn't this...not good?" Cheng Huang frowned, "Those incense are originally the reward I get for doing things. If Mr. Du comes to take over for me and still only get the same things as before, then wouldn't it mean that I don't have the same things as before?"
No need to pay anything?”
"No, no, no, Lord Chenghuang, you have misunderstood me. I don't need incense, but... I need something that can be exchanged for incense." Du Kang shook his head and corrected.
Incense can be exchanged for things. To be more precise, it is basically equivalent to a common currency among the immortals. Similar to the City God and the Earth God, members of the official system among the immortals can not only
The total amount of incense is used as the measurement standard for the end-of-month assessment. Incense can also be spent to trade or exchange for items. Of course, it can also be sold to obtain incense.
Du Kang naturally heard this from Shi Yuye. To be honest, he was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable...
Then Du Kang naturally started thinking about this trading system that uses incense as currency. He couldn't bring back the gold and silver treasures, but he could learn spells; the treasures of heaven, materials and earth could be used to speed up cultivation and increase the upper limit of spiritual power.
; For magic weapons and the like, if they are the kind that can be sacrificed and refined, he can also integrate them into his own body and take them back directly!
For Du Kang, it is simply the perfect platform.
"Then I understand, yes, of course!"
City God suddenly understood, and stretched out two fingers, "Twice, how about counting it as twice the amount? Mr. Du, how much work you have completed and how much incense you have accumulated, just count it as twice the amount, and then I will help you.
Is that okay to exchange it for what you want?"
"Uh..." Du Kang was stunned.
"Then, three times?" Without hearing Du Kang's reply, the City God began to test carefully.
"Three times?" Du Kang repeated.
"Then four times!" the city god continued to add.
"That's enough, that's enough!" Du Kang quickly stopped, "Four times is enough."
Everyone in Dukang was a little confused - I haven't had time to blackmail you, and the blackmail started to happen on my own. What's going on?
Adaptively raise prices? Or raise your own prices?
How badly do you want to get off work?
This made Du Kang a little afraid to let the city god continue. Four times was already a very outrageous multiple. You can get as much as you do. Although everyone wants to do less and get more, they have to feel comfortable with it.
, otherwise it would feel like being favored by others. Du Kang did not want to owe favors in a place like this.
"Okay, then this matter is settled... Mr. Du, when will you be able to start taking over?" Cheng Huang asked with great expectation. It seemed that he really hoped that Du Kang would say that he would start now.
"Not now. I still have some things to deal with. I need to leave for a while and wait until I come back before starting." Du Kang shook his head and refused.
The City God's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, but he quickly managed to manage his expression successfully, and he has persisted in it for so many years, even after just a short while.
…
Du Kang opened his eyes, which were dazed for a while and then refocused and became alert.
Skillfully reaching into the pillow, he held the phone in front of his eyes, unlocked it and checked. Sure enough, the temporary duty of the Land God had been completed, while the daily duty of the City God showed [Paused, do you want to continue - Yes/No
].
Du Kang did not choose [Yes], but locked the screen of his phone and fell into deep thought.
He came back just to give himself enough time to sort out some things.
The amount of information that the substitute came into contact with this time was too great. If the first substitute allowed Du Kang to officially embark on the path of spiritual practice and gain the ability to save his life, then this second time was the beginning of formal contact with a former
The system that existed before - the system about gods and goddesses, was also added to it in a somewhat tricky way.
Another important aspect is the harvest this time, whether it is the three-thousand-year-old flat peach given by Shi Yuye, or the "Ji Shu" given by Ji God... Even among the gods, it can definitely be regarded as a treasure!
Du Kang's spiritual power fluctuated slightly, and a piece of jade appeared in his hand. Such items can be directly stored in the Dantian in the form of spiritual energy, so Du Kang can bring it back.
Similar things, as well as the land seal of the Earth God, can also... wait!
Land seal?
Du Kang's expression suddenly became strange, his spiritual power fluctuated again, and a simple stone seal appeared in his hand.
He sat up and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
bad!
I encountered so many things that I suddenly forgot about this thing and brought back the guy who was eating for others!
