Chapter 277 No Qualifications Required
Although the Hunting Moon has officially begun.
But this year, Sam Doug did not contact his teammates and organize a team to hunt monsters in the dark forest like last year and the year before. Instead, he was doing physical work outside several territories of the Church of Knowledge - Xiu road!
The reason why I didn’t destroy the monsters.
The main reason is that the reward for building roads is quite tempting to Sam!
The salary offered by Hugo Seavey to a level 1 warrior professional like Sam, who has better physical strength than ordinary people, is quite high!
Sam was not that good at math, so he picked up some pebbles and broken branches from the ground as "silver coins and copper coins" and calculated them carefully several times.
"The money you make from building roads is no less than hunting monsters!"
"And there's basically no danger!"
Last year, his companions who teamed up with him to eliminate monsters in the Hunting Moon were unfortunately attacked by monsters.
In the end, he managed to save his life, but at the cost of losing a right arm.
If you want to ask the priest of the Glow God Cult to use the fourth-level magic to regenerate a severed limb, you have to prepare nearly a hundred gold coins.
For ordinary level 1 warrior adventurers like them, earning 100 gold coins in this life is not bad!
A broken arm is basically equivalent to a person being crippled.
In comparison, simple work like building roads is just moving bricks!
In previous years, a hunter who could kill monsters in the moon and was lucky enough to collect distortion materials sold them to merchants. After sharing the dividends with his teammates, he could probably get about 50 silver coins.
The extra reward given by the king usually ranges from 30 to 50 silver.
The amount you can earn in one month is about 1 gold coin.
The reward for building roads in the territory of the Qiuzhi Church is paid in cash. As long as he works diligently for a day, he will probably get 3 silvers in the end, plus some scattered copper coins.
It depends on how much work he does that day.
Sam didn't know how the people of Xiweiland, that is, the believers of the God of Knowledge, "supervised the work."
On the second day, there were a few guys who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes and pretended to work hard, but in fact they didn't put in much effort.
When the wages were settled, the wages received by these opportunistic guys were more than half less than Sam's!
Those guys were still trying to mess around.
They yelled about "unfair treatment", "deduction of wages", "bullying honest people" and so on.
Of course, the uproar was useless.
No matter how much they complained, not a single copper was paid to them.
They were also disqualified from the job.
The reason is that inactivity has slowed down the progress of the project.
This surprised Sam.
His father was a traditional ordinary farmer. He used to go to Ceylon City during his spare time to take on some purely physical work such as repairing city walls or repairing roads.
At that time, little Sam heard his father complain when he returned home, saying that some lazy guys obviously didn't do much, but in the end they got the same amount of wages as him, and even relied on building a good relationship with the supervisor to be assigned to some relatively low-income jobs. Relaxing location.
But in several territories of the Qiuzhi Church, this situation did not occur at all.
Not just Sam, but anyone.
How much money you get for how much work you do.
Treat everyone equally.
The only thing that can change the outcome is the amount of effort you put in.
More work, more reward.
Less work, less gain.
Sam can be sure of this because the way wages are paid here is to transfer money directly into their accounts in "Siwei Savings", and there is no real gold coins involved in the whole process.
The person responsible for providing the reward read out the reward for each person in front of everyone. It means that they can go to the savings hall in the territory to withdraw cash at any time.
You can also just leave the money in your own account. Anyway, in almost all places in Xiweiling, you can quickly complete transactions by showing your ID card.
At that time, Sam inexplicably had some "feelings" about the teachings of the so-called Knowledge-Seeking Church.
Because when he was participating in the study of seeking the path, he once heard the believer in charge of preaching there mention a saying: "Effort itself should have its due reward!"
"A truly noble and great existence, an existence truly worthy of following, and an existence that truly should be believed in."
"He will definitely pay attention to the efforts and contributions of every mortal."
"Even the smallest effort will give them corresponding rewards!"
"..."
When he first heard this teaching, Sam found it incredible.
This was contrary to what he had always known.
Gods are supreme and great beings, and mortals are as insignificant as mayflies in the eyes of gods.
Mortals' beliefs and offerings are what they should do. Failure to receive blessings from gods means that you are "not qualified."
“Eligibility” has been interpreted in many ways.
In the propaganda of Glow God Religion, it means that believers are not pious enough and need to reflect on whether they have not worked hard enough;
In the view of the nobles of the kingdom, they believe that they need to have sufficiently noble blood, and those of low origin will certainly not have the chance to receive blessings;
Other explanations, such as the Church of the God of Justice, they will say: "Because you did not abide by the principles of justice, your mentality prevented you from being qualified."
Others say that the consciousness is not firm enough, the body is not strong enough, and the will is not strong enough.
In short, different churches have different interpretations.
But what they said has one thing in common, that is - mortals need to have the corresponding qualifications before they are worthy of the great power that belongs to the gods.
However, in the teachings of the Seeking for Knowledge Church, a completely opposite concept is put forward: "Everyone should be qualified to be rewarded for their efforts."
“The difference that effort makes is not whether there is anything, but how much.”
Sam thought about what he had seen in the Seavey Territory and the Warren Territory, and vaguely realized that the people here seemed to really follow this doctrine.
Even outsiders like them are treated equally.
By participating in the road construction project, in addition to labor remuneration, Sam can also receive contribution points.
When he asked the territory clerk about his contribution, Sam learned that because he had completed enough work, after two days of "moving bricks", he had received more contribution value than other road builders. .
Even if it's a job like building roads that everyone can do, you can still make contributions.
Sam has the foundation of a level 1 warrior, so he works more efficiently, completes more work, and makes more contributions than ordinary people.
If this progress continues, Sam estimates that if he works hard for another week, he should be able to enter the top 50 in the ranking of contribution value.
After passing the test of doctrinal understanding, he will have the opportunity to offer his faith to the God of Knowledge.
According to believers of the God of Knowledge, as long as you can devote your faith and become a believer in the Lord, you can receive all His blessings.
This blessing is something that everyone can qualify for, regardless of origin, bloodline, or anything else.
The only limitation is the identity of the believer.
There is also an extremely clear, extremely intuitive, and calculable method to satisfy this restriction.
