Chapter 69: There Really Was Something Hidden Here |
Thus, under Vivian’s horrified gaze, Lord God dismantled every single one of the so-called “surveillance devices” completely clean.
Wow… Lord God was truly incredible.
That was the evaluation from the already emotionally numb Vivian.
Then Lord God packed all those things up into large bundles and finally left while carrying bags upon bags of loot.
This allowed Vivian to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“Lord God did everything so secretly. He probably won’t get discovered, right?”
Vivian thought this to herself.
And even if it were discovered, Vivian felt she should still have the ability to handle the aftermath.
She still had quite a lot of Gold Coins on hand. If things really became impossible, she could just compensate the priest directly.
That was what Vivian thought.
However, Vivian quickly discovered something horrifying.
Things did not seem to be as simple as she had imagined.
Carrying the looted spoils, the Evil God found the Goblin Gree.
“So, Miss Vivian, may I ask why you came to see me so late at night?” Goblin Gree looked at Vivian with some confusion.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen did not waste any time.
He directly dumped out all the contents from the bulging sack.
“Are you buying these or not? Every single one is a magical creature.”
As she spoke, Vivian casually picked up one of the snake-head relief carvings. The moment it was lifted, Gree saw the relief open its mouth toward him, exposing sharp fangs.
If it were not for the lack of magical power supply, it probably would have attacked directly.
Seeing this scene, Gree subconsciously swallowed nervously.
“Um… where exactly did these things come from?”
“That’s not important. What’s important is whether you want to make money or not.”
Of course Gree wanted to.
But these goods were clearly of suspicious origin and obviously carried huge problems.
He was also afraid that if he rashly accepted this deal and something really happened later, he would not even have a place to cry.
“Just tell me whether you want this profit or not.”
As though seeing through his hesitation, Vivian’s voice carried some impatience.
“If you don’t make this money, plenty of others will. As the saying goes, the bold will feast while the timid starve.”
Hearing this, Gree’s expression became conflicted. However, after a long while, he gritted his teeth.
“I’m in!”
Gree made his decision.
“Wait here for me!”
After leaving behind those words, Gree immediately ran off to gather people.
Not long afterward…
Gree returned with fifty to sixty Goblins.
“We’ll buy all of these.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
“Not just these. There’ll be even more good stuff later.”
Because the goods were illicit and carried enormous risk, the Goblins’ offered prices were extremely low. But for Jiang Chen, none of that mattered.
What mattered was making money.
After selling everything, he earned a total of 30 Gold Coins.
Holding the Gold Coins, Jiang Chen immediately hurried back toward the church without pause. After confirming that Matthew had not yet returned, Jiang Chen once again began busily working.
Throughout the entire process, Vivian remained utterly dumbfounded.
Originally, Vivian thought Lord God would leave after selling those items. Now it seemed she had been far too naive.
Not only had Lord God returned, but this time the looting became even more thorough.
The two Spatial Rings confiscated earlier also finally displayed their usefulness.
Without the magical creatures’ surveillance, Lord God’s operating speed became absurdly fast.
The first victims were naturally those windows made from unknown materials that looked extremely expensive. Lord God did not leave behind even a single one.
Afterward, even the tables and chairs used by believers for prayer were not spared.
By the time he was leaving, Lord God even set his sights on the enormous cross.
That nearly frightened Vivian to death.
Fortunately, because the cross was made of wood, Lord God felt it was not worth much money and was also too large, so he did not take it away.
Thus, Lord God’s Spatial Rings became completely stuffed full.
Not long afterward, it was once again the same location.
The Goblins gathered there expectantly.
Then this time, the sale earned 50 Gold Coins.
Clearly, the windows were extremely valuable.
Of course, Vivian knew very well that the Goblins had driven the prices down outrageously low.
But Lord God did not care. According to Lord God’s words, these were stolen goods. As long as they could quickly be converted into money, then it was not a loss.
Whether Lord God suffered losses or not, Vivian did not know, but Vivian did know that Father Matthew would probably bleed heavily this time.
“But thankfully, it’s finally over now. And apparently nobody discovered anything.”
After this transaction ended, Vivian could not help breathing a sigh of relief.
Everything movable inside the church had already been taken away. Even the windows had been dismantled.
The place had been completely cleaned out.
Now Vivian wanted nothing more than to return and sleep peacefully, pretending tomorrow that nothing had ever happened.
However, Vivian quickly realized she was still too naive.
Lord God went back again.
Looking at the now-empty church, Vivian truly did not know what to say anymore.
“If I’m not blind, then there shouldn’t be anything left worth taking here anymore…”
However, Lord God once again proved to her that one’s thinking needed to be broadened.
Vivian felt magical power surging throughout her body.
The next moment, the familiar Candy Bear appeared before her eyes.
“Hm? Has the time reset already?”
Seeing the Candy Bear appear, Vivian realized it was already the next day and the skill usage count had refreshed.
And then…
Lord God, what are you doing?!
What did Vivian see?
Lord God had actually brought the bear along to start prying up floor tiles together.
No…
Vivian found herself completely incoherent.
Under Vivian’s dazed gaze, one floor tile after another was pried loose and neatly stacked aside.
“So… Lord God, did Father Matthew dig up your ancestral grave or something?”
“What exactly did he do to deserve such special treatment from you?”
Vivian found it difficult to imagine what Father Matthew’s reaction would be after returning to the church following a long day of work.
But none of that mattered anymore.
After all, there was no way she could stop it.
Ever since her body began being manipulated by Lord God, Vivian had already gotten used to it.
Lord God committed the crimes while she took the blame.
But at that moment, Lord God’s delighted voice suddenly rang out.
So what happened now?
Vivian felt curious.
Then Vivian froze in shock.
What did she just see?
A basement entrance!
“I knew it. There’s no way security this strict was just to guard a few broken chairs!”
After seeing the basement entrance, Jiang Chen was not surprised at all.
What a joke. His many years of gaming experience were not for nothing.
Looking at the floor tiles that had already been pried up halfway, Jiang Chen could not help shaking his head.
“This hiding method really wasn’t very good. I only pried up this little and already found it.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out Mana Potions and immediately began pouring them down his throat one after another.
Although he did not know whether there was danger below, fully restoring his condition first was always the correct choice.
