Chapter 159 Old Bill’s Ambition
In the misty valley.
The toast was simply the best thing Old Bill had ever tasted in his life.
He even hesitated. Eating such a perfect and expensive miracle bread like this was simply a sacrilege and a waste.
But that circular table, oh, yes, it should be the altar of creation, told him clearly.
Even if he doesn't have any raw materials for such a miracle, he can still get a copy out of thin air at the price of 0.5 knowledge points.
Moreover, you can get up to 3 miracles here every day!
Old Bill read other oracles sent down by Novan and also learned how he should obtain knowledge points.
Although he didn't know a few words, it was magical that the oracle came directly into his mind. It was like someone else speaking to him, and he could directly understand its meaning.
One of the oracles that excited Bill the most was the part about [life and career].
In addition to his status as a level 1 warrior, Bill discovered that he had also received a life occupation certification called "Farmer".
After being certified as a farmer, he received a new task:
[Farming]
[Today’s progress: 0%]
[Reward: 2 knowledge points]
…
Bill has been doing farm work for most of his life. His father and grandfather were both farmers. If nothing else happens, his children should also be farmers.
He had never heard of a god giving him a reward for his hard work in farming!
The god closest to farming is the god of harvest.
The priests of the Harvest Church will preach to them that the God of Harvest encourages believers to cultivate farmland, sow crops, irrigate and take care of it, and will provide shelter during the growth of crops to protect them from the influence of evil gods. Send blessings upon them.
But after so many years, Bill has not felt that the so-called "blessing from the harvest god" has a clear effect.
The priests told him that the blessing would make him produce more food.
Almost all farmers believe in the God of Harvest, and Bill can't find anyone to compare with, so he doesn't know how much his yield has increased.
The only thing Old Bill knows is that even if the output does increase, he will be busy all year round. The wheat he grows will be sold to the merchants or churches who buy it, and the money he will get is just enough for him to make ends meet.
Probably, if he didn't believe in the God of Harvest, he wouldn't be able to make a living by selling the food he grew?
Or is it simply contaminated by the evil god, unable to even sell it, putting in a lot of effort, but getting nothing in the end?
Old Bill couldn’t figure it out either.
But things are different now.
Old Bill can figure out one thing very clearly:
"As long as he works hard in farming, he can get 2 knowledge points!"
This is clearly marked in the mission oracle!
Just like the miraculous bread he got by paying points on the altar of creation!
The God of Knowledge not only pays attention to the farmer's work like the God of Harvest and sends blessings, but also tells him completely and clearly how much reward his efforts will get.
This is what excites Old Bill the most.
God’s blessing is no longer an empty word that cannot be seen or touched.
2 knowledge points.
This means that he can exchange it for 4 pieces of miracle bread!
No need to worry about working hard day and night, only to be so poor that you can only eat some unpalatable wheat paste.
Food that only the nobles can enjoy. In the Church of Seeking Knowledge, as long as he works hard for a day, he can be rewarded with miracles of creation at the Altar of Creation, and reward himself with delicious bread!
Old Bill felt that this was more exciting than allowing him to become a professional!
When he was struggling to survive by picking up garbage and leftover food in a refugee settlement outside Ceylon, Bill’s biggest hope was that the monster pollution in the village and farmland where he lived could be dissipated as soon as possible. In his own home, he and his children could barely eat wheat paste, and he had a piece of land of his own where he could grow food and sell it for some money.
The refugees have nothing, not even wheat paste to eat!
Unable to endure it any longer, he chose to sign a contract with Hugo.
At that time, his hope was to die soon. Death in the dark forest could give his children a sum of money, enough to continue his life.
After crossing the border and believing in the God of Knowledge under Pat's sermon, Bill's hopes changed again.
He began to hope for survival.
To be a level 1 warrior, to be precise, it should be a half-baked level that barely crosses the threshold.
It means that he has some ability to protect himself.
No one wants to think about dying if they can live.
If he returns alive and earns the money to hire him, he can survive with his son Ford until the pollution in the village dissipates and his old life can be restored.
Bill is not like Brandon who thinks about becoming a high-level professional and a legendary hero. On the contrary, he knows very well that he is not suitable for fighting. He is also old and cannot stand the excitement of dangerous battles.
A stable life is more attractive to Old Bill than becoming a strong professional.
After witnessing the miracle at the Altar of Creation, his thoughts changed for the fourth time.
He still wants to live a stable life, but the difference is that he does not plan to return to the village where he once lived!
Near the Misty Valley, there are also large tracts of land suitable for farming!
He wants to stay, live nearby, follow the oracle, and develop this territory that belongs to the god of knowledge.
Even if the food he grew couldn't be sold at all, he could still rely on the farming task rewards given by Noven to exchange for delicious bread at the altar of creation that he had never dared to imagine.
This alone is actually infinitely better than his previous life.
Old Bill couldn't understand things that were too complicated, but he could at least understand one thing:
The God of Knowledge sent an oracle and asked them to guard this place!
Isn’t the reason why the Kingdom of Reyak is peaceful because of the blessings of the God of Glow and other gods?
The God of Knowledge is not bad either, and even miracles of creation are coming before our eyes.
With such a great god protecting them, this place must be able to withstand the attacks of monsters and establish a new civilized territory.
Old Bill has it all planned out.
He wants to make this his new home!
Not just himself.
He also wanted to find a way to bring his son Ford here, and also let him devote his faith to this great god!
The Misty Valley is not far from the border of the Kingdom of Reyak, and the monsters nearby are not as exaggerated as those deep in the dark forest.
Believers who believe in the God of Knowledge can become professionals through their own efforts. They can also get rewards for destroying monsters and become stronger.
Old Bill also saw along the way that the monsters that were difficult for them to resist were actually fragile in front of the powerful magic released by Pat and Gale!
The threat of monsters is not that scary at all, because the believers of the Seeking Church have frighteningly high strength.
This is an extremely dangerous border development.
It is clear that a new home full of hope is about to be born!
……
There will be another update later, working on it!
