Chapter 384: Chapter 371 Grabbing People!! (1st Update) Chapter 384: Chapter 371 Grabbing People!! (1st Update) The Goddess of Beauty actually wanted to accept Can Xin’s three hundred Divine Power Crystals, but since the Shadow Goddess was watching, she could only use a slightly mocking smile as she spoke to Can Xin…
“These Divine Power Crystals are hardly enough to purchase my favor,” said the Goddess of Beauty.

“It’s not a purchase… I just want to employ you!” Can Xin had chosen to use the preset options provided in the dialogue box at that point.

“Employment, that might…” The Goddess of Beauty had actually been considering it all along.

The Earth Mother Goddess and War God Urd, along with several higher gods, had tacitly approved many things in the City of Gods, one of which was being employed by the Holy Spirits, and the other was the activities of Denghis Xisi in the City of Gods.

The thoughts of gods and plane pirates seemed to differ; they apparently wanted to hedge their bets.

“Holy Spirits! Some gods do not accept employment,” the Daylight God stepped forward and said to Can Xin, but soon after his words fell, a bag of Divine Power Crystals hit his face.

The bag of Divine Power Crystals was thrown at the face of the Daylight God by the president of the Gray Eyes Association. The Gray Eyes Association was the second-ranked guild within the Gods’ Alliance faction, and the Daylight God certainly recognized Gray Eyes; he was a regular customer at the shop of the Daylight God.

“Although we know your value is somewhat higher than that of ordinary gods, here are these Divine Power Crystals. Help us with a task,” Gray Eyes threw out even fewer Divine Power Crystals than what Can Xin had offered to the Goddess of Beauty.

Just two hundred.

“Do you need a new blessing?” the Daylight God asked coolly as he picked the Divine Power Crystals off his face.

Normally, two hundred Divine Power Crystals would only be sufficient to buy a divine blessing lasting three hours for the elite task force of the Gray Eyes Association.

This business had taken off ever since the Holy Spirits had appeared in the Gods’ Alliance, and the Daylight God had had many dealings with the Holy Spirits, as had other gods who had learned the ways of commerce and had started selling their own blessings.

These blessings could add extra attack attributes to players, and some could even enhance players’ status values.

Therefore, ‘blessings’ had become an exclusive system characteristic of the players within the Gods’ Alliance.

“It’s not a blessing; it’s about going to our base. I need your help with a task,” Gray Eyes immediately shook his head denying the suggestion of the Daylight God.

The blessings of the Daylight God and the Earth Mother Goddess were the most popular among players, one enhancing weapons with a glowing attack property, and the other significantly boosting tenacity and defensive power during combat.

“Holy Spirit, I am not one for jokes, nor do I grasp the concept of inflating the prices of my services. Yet, I am aware that merely two hundred Divine Power Crystals to monopolize my abilities… it’s quite unlikely…”
The Daylight God was the kind of honorable merchant who did not understand the concept of inflating prices; however, even he felt that the monopoly price of two hundred Divine Power Crystals was too cheap.

“This is a reasonable transaction, starting now,” Gray Eyes looked at the Daylight God and responded calmly.

“Holy Spirit… I’ve already stated that a single blessing for your team is priced at two hundred and fifty Divine Power Crystals. Your employment request essentially monopolizes my ability for one to two days…”

“So, will you or will you not?”

Gray Eyes wasn’t as meek as Can Xin; he would rather spend the time arguing with the Daylight God on his next run.

“Please… allow me to refuse, Holy Spirit… During the time I was employed by you, I received many commissions from Holy Spirit groups, and from a business perspective, I earned far more than I did while employed by you.”

“Understood.”

Gray Eyes reached out to take back the Divine Power Crystal he had given to the Daylight God, and as he turned to leave, he noticed that Can Xin was still stubbornly conversing with the Beauty Goddess in front of her.

“Chairman Can Xin, we will come to them after some time,” Gray Eyes sent this message to Can Xin privately, while the district head used the public chat voice at the base.

Thus, the gods at the base have no idea… what is happening now within the Alliance of Gods.

Perhaps realizing he had embarrassed himself again, Can Xin tried to retrieve the three hundred Divine Power Crystals from the Beauty Goddess’s hand, but she subconsciously clenched her hand tight, and Can Xin, after several tugs, was still no match for the Beauty Goddess.

“Ura, as the leader of the Alliance of Gods, anyone can leave the City of Gods to become employed by the Holy Spirits, except you.” The Daylight God chose this moment to remind the Beauty Goddess with a voice.

From the moment the Beauty Goddess accepted the position, she represented the face of the Alliance of Gods, and as a deity, there is something called pride and dignity… If even the leader was employed by the Holy Spirits, wouldn’t that be too disgraceful?

But just then, the door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open again, and a creature that looked like a sheep turned into a spirit appeared at the door of the secret room. This creature was a messenger among the gods, somewhat akin to the likes of Hermes.

It appeared very hurried, panting as it pushed open the door, and when it saw that there were still Holy Spirits in the room, it got so scared that its legs kicked out, nearly fainting.

“What do you have to report… just say it!” The Daylight God used his divine power to heal the scared senseless messenger, and after it recovered a bit… it shouted out loud.

“Holy Spirits! Holy Spirits are abducting people! No! Holy Spirits are abducting gods! All the Holy Spirits are trying to recruit the gods of this city.” This messenger was unable to speak; what came from its throat was a prerecorded voice of the God of Commerce managing the messengers.

After this messenger finished this sentence, its throat choked up again, and it screamed out another sentence.

“Additionally here’s an advertisement, the Holy Spirit Guild is zealously recruiting homeless deities. Benefits are excellent, social security and housing fund included. I know it’s illegal to advertise for the Holy Spirits using a messenger, but the advertising fees given by the Holy Spirits were too much!”

After saying these two sentences, the messenger fainted again, its legs kicking out.

The Daylight God and the Flowing Water God standing by exchanged glances, then simultaneously rushed out of the basement to the shop on the ground level, and afterward pushed open the store’s front door.

“Have the Holy Spirits gone mad?” The Daylight God’s shop was located in the city square of the City of Gods, the busiest area in town, so he could see the deities living in the city, even the Divine Chosen Ones, lining up with luggage at the portal to Biland Island.

The Daylight God looked around the long queue and spotted someone extremely familiar, whom he thought would never willingly become a servant of the Holy Spirits, namely the God of Commerce.

“Hermes!” The Daylight God came to the end of the line and grabbed the pudgy arm of the God of Commerce, “How many Divine Power Crystals did the Holy Spirits spend to hire you?”

“Two hundred, and keep calm,” the God of Commerce shook off the Daylight God’s hand, “Have you found a job as well? Which Holy Spirit Guild are you going to?”

“We are gods! Lower gods craving strength willing to follow the Holy Spirit Urd is acceptable! But you and I are both higher gods, in the City of Gods your blessings are also sought after by the Holy Spirits, why choose to be a servant to the Holy Spirits?” the Daylight God asked at this moment.

“You don’t understand the current situation, Lai Ning,” the God of Commerce pointed at the long queue behind him, “I’ll give you a piece of advice, either follow the Holy Spirits to their base for reemployment now, or be completely ‘unemployed’ and forget about earning even a single Divine Power Crystal ever again. I too miss the days when a mere blessing would earn six or seven hundred Divine Power Crystals, old friend, but that business can’t be done now.”
