Chapter 278 Fair Promotion Path
There is a huge notice board in the Quest Hall of Warren Territory, and the information on it will be updated three times a day by a dedicated person.
Once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once at night.
The specific content of the information is the "contribution value" ranking of outsiders within the territory of the Seeking Church.
This contribution value system was realized by Novin with the help of his believers as a bridge.
The top 200 names will be listed on the notice board in the form of "name + numerical value".
At this stage, the number of new believers that Qiuzhi Church attracts every week is 50.
Starting from the first place on the ranking list, priority will be given to the first 50 newcomers who "signed up to join the Knowledge-seeking Church".
If you offer your faith and become a member of the Church of Knowledge, your contribution value will be cleared, you will automatically be removed from the rankings, and you will no longer participate in the rankings.
If the ranking has entered the top 50, but has not yet decided whether to believe in the God of Knowledge, Novin also gives such people the opportunity to think about and make a decision.
The top 50 will not register, their contribution value will be retained, and their quota will be postponed.
Give an example.
The first-ranked outsider did not sign up, so the 51st-ranked outsider will be eligible to join the church.
And so on, until the quota of 50 people is reached.
Novin also added an additional "Anti-Domination Ranking" rule:
"After entering the top 50, if you do not become a believer of the God of Knowledge for 2 consecutive weeks, your contribution value will be reset to zero."
The significance of this rule is that those guys who have obtained enough contribution points through various methods but "don't want to leave" are obviously not Noven's target believers!
The great God of Knowledge has given you 14 days to consider whether to become His disciple.
If you've been thinking about it for so long and still haven't made up your mind, then clear your contribution points and get off the list and try again.
It just so happens that the process of trying again can also make you think carefully about whether you should devote your faith to it.
The purpose of the contribution ranking is to attract believers who work hard enough, rather than letting people slowly accumulate contribution points and accumulate astronomical figures.
By automatically excluding those who do not intend to become believers, the contribution ranking will have an intuitive and accurate effect.
…
Sam had never seen any church in the past that would set "ranking" conditions for becoming a believer.
The method of other churches is very simple:
Just give money.
Regular religious initiation ceremonies were held, and if enough property was provided to "consecrate" the gods, dedicated priests would come to preside over the magical rituals, allowing them to offer their faith to the gods.
It is one thing to offer your faith.
Whether you can receive blessings after becoming a believer is another matter.
Even if most mortals become believers of the corresponding god, they are not "qualified" to receive the power of His blessings.
The Church of Seeking Knowledge is exactly the opposite.
If you want to become a believer, you need to meet the conditions of the contribution ranking and learn to master the teachings;
If you don't rank in the top 50, even Monger, the richest man in Reyak and the great businessman, will not be able to become a believer of the God of Knowledge.
However, as long as you can become a believer, you will definitely have the blessing of the great God of knowledge.
…
The two seem to be just in reverse order, but in fact they are very different!
Because, the conditions for the Church to offer its faith are transparent.
In churches of other gods, the conditions for receiving blessings after offering faith are not transparent!
Even the church's own priests couldn't explain what conditions must be met to receive blessings.
Reasons such as piety, mentality, will, and body are not clearly marked at all.
The ranking of the contribution value of the Seeking for Knowledge Church is different.
Anyone can clearly calculate his or her "progress in education."
Sam can roughly estimate that if he moves bricks for a while, his contribution value will be among the top 50 in the rankings. If it were taken into account that those who were ranked ahead of him would be automatically removed from the list due to joining the religion, the process might even be faster.
And Sam is sure of this:
Even if he is not a level 1 warrior, but just an ordinary person, he still relies on building roads to obtain contribution points, and he can still reach the top of the rankings in the end.
The difference is nothing more than the length of time.
In a true sense, everyone is fair, and as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded!
Completely consistent with the teachings of the Seeking for Knowledge Church.
As for what the believers who seek knowledge preach, everyone can be blessed by the great god of knowledge after joining the religion.
Sam had no doubts about this.
Because the hard facts hit him directly in the face, and there was no room for argument.
In the territories of several seeking-knowledge churches, as long as they are followers of seeking-knowledge, they are guaranteed to be level 1 mages!
It is not uncommon for two or three gods to bless you!
Sam saw several farmers farming near the Warren Territory. He watched helplessly as they chanted the magic of the God of Harvest, blessing the land, and at the same time summoned the [Mage Hand] to control it. farm tools.
These people have become "noble" spell casters and are still working as farmers. There is only one possibility, and that is that the identity of a mage cannot bring them preferential treatment here at all.
Spellcasters have almost become the identity symbol of believers who seek knowledge.
One or two spellcasters may have noble blood and are favored by the goddess of magic. They believe in the god of knowledge and can become a mage at the same time. This is an accidental phenomenon and cannot be copied.
If there are spellcasters per capita, then they will definitely find something in common that can be copied.
What's the biggest thing in common?
"They are all believers in the God of Knowledge."
What else is there to say?
The fairest promotion mechanism Sam has ever seen is here.
As long as you meet the conditions of contribution value, you can obtain the identity of a believer and gain the power given by the God of Knowledge.
Even... there is a suspected miracle of resurrection from the dead in this mysterious church.
All Sam can do is to find ways to earn enough contributions as soon as possible to get into the top 50 rankings as soon as possible.
As for the issue of heretical expulsion orders?
“Heretics are heretics!”
"What is the Glow God Religion? Don't mess with me. I have been the most devout believer in the God of Knowledge since I was born. Now is the time when I need to work hard to prove my piety!"
Sam planned:
After becoming a believer of the God of Knowledge, even if he sneaks back to the Kingdom of Reyak, as long as his identity as a follower of Knowledge is not reported and he does not bump into the face of the Glow God, then he is a harmless ordinary adventurer!
This is not a dangerous belief in an evil god. An identity contaminated by an evil god will be directly detected by divine magic.
In addition to using the magic of justice to judge the belief status of mortals, heretical beliefs cannot be crushed to death by superficial actions in daily life.
Sam was optimistic.
Because he doesn't know about the old gods.
He didn't even know that the Glow God's [Detect Evil] magic would flash red when used on followers of the God of Knowledge.
Good thing.
This "flaw" has existed for a long time.
As another group of heretics arrived in Xiwei Territory.
There was a turnaround.
…
The Church of Illusion is about to join the battlefield. This plot is a bit difficult to follow, and the writing is a bit clumsy.
