Mini World Of Endless Fun Awaits

Chapter 150: Chapter 150 – The Gift is the Gatling Gun!

“In the name of the great existence of divine grace, in the name of the Master of the Holy Light, the Heart of Everlasting Warmth, and the Ruler of the Wind, Rain and Snow, you are bestowed with the benevolence of the gods and care from the heavens!”

Ren Suo only dared to say such an “eighth-grader syndrome”-loaded line after he ensured that his bedroom door was closed and the windows were tightly shut, and he still lowered his voice as much as possible.

Ren Suo previously used the keyboard and mouse to play the game “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”, and he did likewise for the current side-mission.

But Ren Suo did not expect that he even had to do the talking!

It would not have been so bad usually, but Zhao Zili was taking on the role of the priest of the gods. After he descended from the heavens, he had to sing praises to the gods while bestowing their grace upon the people, and that made Ren Suo feel slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, although Ren Suo was the one who spoke, the voice that came out was still Zhao Zili’s, so Ren Suo’s identity would not be exposed.

On the screen, Zhao Zili echoed the name of the gods as he descended from the skies. He wore a white robe and held a [Gatling Gun of Profound Compassion] in his hand as he appeared in a neat living room. In the room were two siblings, a brother and his sister, who stared at Zhao Zili in shock when they saw him.

One of the teenagers had a degree of belief indicator above his head, and that must be Ning Hai.

Ren Suo looked at Ning Hai’s face. Although the appearances of the characters in the game were different from reality, they were merely graphically processed. Those who harbored malicious intent towards the main game character would more likely appear uglier, while others would appear more beautiful.

But as Ren Suo looked at Ning Hai, he thought that he looked familiar… Perhaps he had seen him before on the streets in town.

More importantly, however, was that the young man’s degree of belief had changed.

It had been orange previously, but now it was an intense yellow. Based on the “Description of the Degree of Belief”, that meant that it was most challenging to make him waver in his prior beliefs, and a small amount of happiness felt sufficient to him.

Ren Suo thought that he would likely fail that mission and was slightly disappointed. But he was not devastated, for his spirits were quickly lifted and he continued the mission at hand:

“With the divine grace of the mighty gods, all sentient beings would be freed from suffering! You will be granted a heart of burning passion, a mind of peace and joy, and a life without troubles and difficulties!”

Upon hearing the second sentence, Ning Hai and Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a renewed passion burn in their hearts, and endless courage seemed to emerge from their limbs.

“In the name of the Master, the wind and snow will protect you from harm, and the rain will shield you from adversities!”

When they heard the third sentence, the siblings felt a calming peacefulness arise in their hearts, and they calmed down.

Ren Suo finally heaved a breath of relief.

He had just controlled Zhao Zili to use four abilities in succession!

[Heart of Light: The presence and the words of the priest penetrates the hearts of mortals like the glorious light, compelling them to listen to the priest.]

[Will of Fire: The words of the priest will ignite endless courage in mortals.]

[Shield of Wind and Snow: The words of the priest will calm mortals, ease their worries, and grant them a sense of peace.]

[Love of the Gods: The words of the priest will emphasize the compassion of the gods and mortals will form a deeper impression of the gods.]

In the mission brief of [Repaying Kindness], it said that Zhao Zili mastered the four abilities before he was allowed to descend to the mortal world to save people and spread the Belief. However, in actual fact, there was no way Zhao Zili learned all of that—how could a dead person learn them?

It seemed to be that the four abilities could only be learned by the priest on his own. The deities would not bestow him with the abilities, and there was no use even if Zhao Zili had accumulated points to exchange for the abilities. It was similar to that in The Warlords, and the three deities only believed that the priest was completely faithful to them after he learned those abilities.

However, the player was ultimately the only one who learned those abilities.

And thus, the reason why only level 3 players were allowed to play the minigame was because—

—Level 3 players had three backup slots.

In addition to the ability slot, Level 3 players had four slots in total, which allowed the four abilities to fit in nicely!

When Ren Suo decided to embark on the mini-task, those four skills automatically appeared in the “Equipment” page and were restricted “for Zhao Zili only”, though it was not as if Ren Suo would have wanted to use any other game character to run errands for the three deities.

As long as the other three abilities were equipped in the spare slots, Ren Suo did not need to return to the “Equipment” page to switch between the four abilities. Just like how he switched seamlessly between multiple abilities like “Lock” and “Heart Strengthening” in the subway incident, he could simply swap the active ability based on his “intention”.

Since he could switch between his own equipped abilities, he could naturally switch between the abilities of the game characters as well.

Step by step, Ren Suo switched to another ability after each sentence he spoke. When he finished, it meant that the BGM of his debut appearance was over. Ren Suo did not want to act cool and waste time either, so he controlled Zhao Zili to raise his Gatling gun and fired without aiming at Ning Hai and Ning Xiaoxiao.

Ning Hai did not appear to be ill or in pain, so it had to be due to the girl in the wheelchair beside him that his degree of belief once turned to orange. Since Zhao Zili was already there, Ren Suo thought that he would help his sister accumulate blessings for her college entrance examination and healed both of the siblings!

Ning Hai and Ning Xiaoxiao were taken aback when they saw the smarks emerging from the Gatling gun, but they merely felt a streak of white light passing through their bodies and nothing else.

“Goodbye.”

Upon hearing that, Ning Hai quickly realized that the strange person who suddenly appeared with a Gatling gun in hand was about to rush out to the balcony like a gust of wind and leave as quickly as he appeared. He was going to crash directly into the anti-theft net.

“Be careful!”

However, just as Ning Hai shouted, he saw the strange person pass through the anti-theft net and headed to the street.

Ning Hai was stunned when he saw what had just happened, but at that moment a scream suddenly emerged from behind him. When Ning Hai turned around, he saw Ning Xiaoxiao leaping towards him.

Ning Hai almost fell down from the sudden “attack”, but fortunately, he maintained his center of gravity after his right foot slipped slightly backward. He helped Ning Xiaoxiao to maintain her balance and asked anxiously, “What happened to you? Was it just now—”

“I, I can feel my feet now!” Ning Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

She broke away from Ning Hai and managed to keep herself steady without any support. Nonetheless, she had not stood up for too long, so her legs were wobbling and she was unable to properly maintain her center of gravity. She eventually lost her balance and fell to the ground on her side.

Ning Hai stretched his hand out to catch his sister. He looked at her as she cried in happiness, but Ning Hai did not know what to say and merely gasped, then used his left hand to tidy her hair.

After a short while, Ning Hai lifted his sister back into the wheelchair and walked to the balcony, looking at the street in the distance.

Many passers-by were jumping around and shouting in excitement, and the entire street seemed to be celebrating at a carnival.

Ning Hai silently took out her mobile phone, clicked to open a video-streaming website, and found his comment history.

[No. 98.]

While watching that video, he had only dreamt and fantasized that Xiao Xiao could be in that training…

How was he so lucky?

“Brother, come here, come here!” Ning Xiaoxiao called.

Ning Hai turned around to see his sister attempting to stand up leaning against the wall. He smiled and said, “We must have a big celebration on your birthday.”

“On my birthday? My birthday is on the 8th of September, it is still three months away! Bro, what are you talking about, we can celebrate today,” Ning Xiaoxiao chirped happily.

“Well, you’re right!” Ning Hai agreed.

“I met Ren Suo’s high school classmate just now, the one with the most outstanding grades in their class.”

As soon as Ren Suo’s mother picked up the rice bowl, she began to nag, but Ren Suo’s father and sister were used to it. There was no such thing as not talking while eating in his family, and they loved to chat with the television on in the background like background music as they ate.

It was only the son who often sprayed his rice all over the table while talking that made it seem slightly more unhygienic.

Ren Suo’s mother said, “He was on the way home from the market to cook when he bumped into me and dropped a few apples. I think he was successfully enrolled in Tianjing University, but I wonder why he came back.”

“I’m so envious, I also want to enter Tianjing University,” Ren Suo’s sister said.

“Well, I would be satisfied if you are just a bit better than your brother. Don’t revise too late into the night these few days,” Ren Suo’s mother said. She continued, “He should be cooking for two people with the amount of food he bought. But judging from his smile when he was picking up the apples, he must feel happy to be able to cook for his family?”

Ren Suo’s mother was exceptionally serious with her words that day. Ren Suo’s father pondered for a moment then nodded heavily and said, “Well, in that case, I’ll cook tomorrow.”

Ren Suo’s mother replied, “Aye, I don’t mean that, but if you want to—”

Suddenly, they heard a huge commotion coming from outside. Then, a holy, righteous voice boomed, overpowering the sound from the television and the commotion outside, ringing directly in their ears.

“… the wind and snow will protect you from harm, and the rain will shield you from adversities!”

“What’s happening, what’s happening?” Ren Suo’s sister asked curiously as she put down her rice bowl on the table and walked to the balcony. She said, “Is someone giving a speech?”

“There’s nothing to see, it’s probably a garbage collector with a new tactic, he’s going to say that he has ‘rat poison and cockroach poison’ next,” Ren Suo’s mother dismissed.

At that moment, a fat person in a white robe suddenly appeared outside the Ren family’s balcony.

He held a Gatling gun in his hand and pointed towards their balcony, nicely encompassing the three members of the Ren family.

Before Ren Suo’s sister even had time to react, a flash of white light passed through her. By the time she regained her composure, she was already sitting on the balcony in a daze.

“In the name of the Master of the Holy Light, the Heart of Everlasting Warmth…” The voice of the fat person in the white robe gradually faded into the distance.

Ren Suo’s mother quickly rushed over to help his sister up and asked, “Are you okay? Do you feel pain or hurt anywhere?”

Ren Suo’s sister stood up, looked at her hands and feet, then touched her face and said seriously, “My skin has turned whiter and my pimples all vanished.”

Ren Suo’s father who was calm suddenly blinked. He then took off his glasses and looked around. He sighed.

——————

“Great, my mission is complete.”

Ren Suo heaved a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether the mission given by the three deities was completed, ‘his’ mission was complete.

Indeed, the reason why Ning Hai was chosen was not only because he was lucky, but more importantly because—

—His family also lived in Longkou District in Baiyun City.

That was the only reason.

Based on the details on Zhao Zili, Ren Suo was convinced that he was absolutely powerful but not dangerous, so he had already planned to do that all along.

It was just that [Touch of Recovery] was slightly too weak, and so was Ren Suo, and he had given up on such a plan at first.

But with the present mini-task, it was perfectly in line with Ren Suo’s requirements!

In addition to meeting the target as specified by the game console, Zhao Zili would remain on Earth for 30 minutes, which was sufficient time for him to walk through the entire Longkou district.

Furthermore, in order to strengthen the healing effect, Ren Suo specially exchanged for an unlimited Gatling gun from the Treasures of the Holy Light. Those who received a shot from the gun would be cured of all illnesses, and those who received two shots would live to a hundred years old!

In addition, the three deities also granted protection to Zhao Zili. Apart from [Death Shield] which was self-explanatory, there were also [Light Shield] and [Superhuman Shield]. The former enabled Zhao Zili to have the attributes of light and only be affected by his initial kinetic energy, as well as be able to pass through all buildings and objects; the latter enabled Zhao Zili to be able to jump more than ten meters high, which allowed him to traverse through the city without anybody obstructing him!

Logically, Zhao Zili should have remained with Ning Hai for a longer duration to continue to persuade him to become a true believer. However, Ren Suo could not be too bothered about it and after he quickly finished treating him, he proceeded to the streets to bless the people with his [Gatling Gun of Profound Compassion].

The fat middle-aged uncles became handsome, and the white hair of old men who were playing chess turned black.

The aunties who were purchasing their groceries slimmed down and the bespectacled students in school regained perfect eyesight.

From myopia and hair loss to obesity and onychomycosis, it could cure everything!

Anyway, Ren Suo merely shot blindly into the crowd as he ran quickly to his family’s balcony. It was only then that he paid slightly more attention to ensure that all the Recovery was delivered to his family!

Presently, the Recovery had been delivered, and it would not be suspicious as his family was merely one of the lucky people. Ren Suo relaxed as he continued to sweep the Gatling gun at the crowd randomly while waiting for the 30 minutes time limit to be up.

However, at that juncture, a beautiful girl who was clad in a black vest suddenly leaped down from the roof and landed lightly on the ground right in front of Zhao Zili. She raised her hands to stop Zhao Zili.

“Zhao Zili, wait!”
