Several days passed in a flash,
Chen Shu and Dali followed the members of the Salvation Church at a leisurely pace.
On the third day, the mustard spray in the hands of Archbishop 'Xing' was indeed gone...
"Damn, it really washed off?"
Chen Shu's brow furrowed slightly, a little surprised.
Almost at the same time, Dali also exclaimed:
"Damn! It only fell off on the third day? Is this guy constipated?"
"..."
Chen Shu glanced at him and asked, "How's the progress? Is there any mustard that's not afraid of water?"
"Still researching..."
Dali shook his head and said, "It will take some more time."
"Dali, can you do it?"
"Do you really think new dishes are that easy to research? Do you really think I'm a god?!"
"Isn't the God of Cookery a god?"
"Uh... that makes sense too..."
Dali was slightly stunned and nodded in agreement, then said, "But no matter how much you praise me, it'll take at least ten days to half a month."
"Alright..."
Chen Shu nodded and said, "We still have time."
Dali asked, "Aren't you afraid of losing track of them during this time?"
"Just leave some more marks for them, right?"
Chen Shu grinned, and with a flash, they were in front of the Church of Teachers again.
For a moment, everyone's hearts sank, and a bad premonition struck instantly!
"Uh, I've recently researched another project..."
"!!"
The members of the Church glared at him, thinking, "Are you going too far?!"
"Chen Shu, that's enough!"
The woman spoke sternly, "No matter what, we won't have any more transactions this time!"
"Oh."
Chen Shu nodded, appearing calm.
Half an hour later,
He 'bought' fifty billion worth of supplies at the cost of a state's resources, shook hands with Archbishop 'Xing', and left with great swagger...
A group of people wore grim expressions, but dared not utter a word.
Fifty billion was not a large sum for them; they could afford it. However, this insult to their very souls was becoming unbearable...
"Brother!"
"Archbishop!"
For a moment, everyone's gazes turned to Archbishop 'Xing', their expressions resolute, willing to die rather than be humiliated.
Xing looked at their gazes, took a deep breath, and said with a frosty expression:
"If there's a next time, I will personally intervene!"
Feeling their leader's resolve, everyone's suppressed frustration dissipated considerably, and they even felt a slight sense of glee.
Until...
Two days later.
"Buddy, thanks!"
Chen Shu, carrying two large boxes of supplies, left calmly and with great swagger.
"No need to thank me... we're partners..."
Archbishop 'Xing''s smile was stiff. Killing intent was almost clouding his mind, yet he still had to maintain a smiling face.
"..."
The crowd looked at the Archbishop with depressed expressions and strange glances, their trust beginning to waver.
"Is this your intervention? Intervention by sending resources, right?"
"What are you all standing around for?!"
Xing's gaze turned cold and he said, "If it weren't for the sake of the Church, would I have endured such an insult?!"
He could distinguish between trillions of resources and billions of resources.
Since Chen Shu wanted a piece of the pie, then they would just give it to him...
"If you could all step up and become legends, would you fear a mere Gold rank?!"
Xing reprimanded them and said,
"All of you, work harder and move the resources back first!"
Ten days passed.
Chen Shu visited several more times. The Church members' initial feelings of shame and resentment had transformed into composure and acceptance, clearly having grown accustomed to it...
Habit, truly a terrifying thing...
At this moment,
"Chen Pi, I've developed it!"
Dali exclaimed, shaking the spray bottle in his hand, his eyes full of excitement.
"The perverted mustard is no longer afraid of water?"
Chen Shu's expression also brightened. This was a major breakthrough.
Dali said proudly, "Not only is it not afraid of water, but the sniffing range of the Gray Spirit Mouse has also been significantly enhanced!"
"You truly are my little magical potion庫 (kù)!"
Chen Shu licked his lips, not expecting Dali to be so capable.
"Little potion库? Is there a big one?"
Dali, however, had a unique perspective and immediately caught the meaning in Chen Shu's words.
"Uh..."
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and then said, "Calling it 'little' makes it sound a bit more playful."
"Get lost!"
Dali chuckled and cursed,
"Seriously, I feel like they have no will to resist anymore. Why don't you just take all of their resources?"
"It's not that easy."
Chen Shu shook his head and said,
"Do you really think they're afraid of me? I only take billions each time, and the total isn't that much. If I dared to touch trillions in resources, those guys would definitely fight me to the death."
"That makes sense."
"Alright, spray them a bit more, and then we can rest."
Chen Shu sprayed some perverted mustard onto his hand and instantly vanished from his spot.
Half an hour later,
With a smile, he had successfully taken away billions more in resources. Of course, the main purpose was to spray the mustard to conveniently lock onto their location.
"Where are we going now?"
Dali checked the effectiveness and was quite satisfied with his new creation.
"Let's rest for a couple of days. I'm too tired lately."
Chen Shu stretched, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
"Tired?"
Dali was slightly stunned and asked, "Tired from what? You haven't done anything!"
"Isn't doing business tiring?"
Chen Shu pouted and said,
"I have to use my wits against them. One wrong move, and the deal could fall through."
"..."
Dali shook his head and said no more.
Anyway, he was focused on his research, and whatever Chen Shu did didn't affect him, as long as he didn't blow up the entire Blue Star...
