"We were just thinking, but Xiao Ze, you want to use that method to become a God Position?" Ning Rongrong asked, hugging Xiao Ze's arm.
The other three girls also looked at Xiao Ze.
As the person with the strongest Spirit among them, Xiao Ze would definitely be the first to become a God Position.
"I… I should combine the second and third methods." This was something Xiao Ze and the God of Agriculture had decided long ago.
"Hmm? Can you do two at once?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.
"Yes, faith and merit can be combined. The two together can create an even more powerful God Position," Xiao Ze nodded.
"But your Spirit doesn't seem to make it easy to gain faith and merit, does it?" Ning Rongrong didn't know how Xiao Ze would obtain faith and merit.
Xiao Ze smiled and shook his head, tapping her forehead: "I ask you, who do you think are the most numerous people on the Douluo Continent?"
"Ordinary people," Zhu Zhuqing blurted out.
"It's the commoners among ordinary people. There are tens of thousands of Spirit Masters, even fewer nobles, and basically all the rest are commoners."
"You want to gain the faith and merit of these commoners?" Dugu Yan asked.
"Hmm, for faith and merit, whether they are Spirit Masters or not doesn't matter.
As long as they are devout enough, their faith will be high. Merit is the same; perhaps commoners' merit is higher than that of Spirit Masters."
"Then how will you obtain it?"
Xiao Ze pointed at the pastries on the table.
"Green Bean cakes will work?" Ning Rongrong said foolishly.
Xiao Ze rubbed his forehead. How could Rongrong be so smart sometimes, yet her mind couldn't turn at other times?
"Good idea!" Ye Lingling's eyes lit up.
"Lingling, you understand?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Hmm, you don't know, but sometimes I go with my mother to villages to provide free medical consultations. This is something Emperor Xue Ye requested, and it's also a show for others, I suppose."
"Some villages are very wealthy, but far more villages are actually very poor. They don't even talk about good houses or furniture; even eating their fill can be very difficult."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong and the others were also very surprised, not expecting such things to exist.
They were all young ladies from wealthy families and were unaware of such matters.
"Xiao Ze wants to give his crops to the common people."
"But aren't Xiao Ze's crops grown from his Spirit? Can they be grown on normal land?" Ning Rongrong asked suspiciously.
"Let me explain this. Although my crops are very strong, I can research crops that have very poor effects but very high yields. The effects might only be one-fifth, or even one-tenth, of ordinary quality, which can be ignored."
Xiao Ze naturally wanted to create crops without special effects, but even the God of Agriculture couldn't do it.
The effects of his special crops were like genes, etched into their very being, impossible to change, only to weaken.
But that was good enough.
"This way, I can ensure that everyone on the entire Douluo Continent has enough to eat. Then, faith and merit will not be lacking."
Hearing this, the girls nodded heavily.
"Not only will it not be lacking, but the Douluo Continent has millions of people. To allow everyone to eat their fill would truly be a great achievement, and erecting a monument for you would be no problem at all," Dugu Yan said with a smile.
"Forget about erecting a monument; I'm not dead yet," Xiao Ze waved his hand.
"But if you do this, you'll be standing against those nobles," Zhuqing said coldly.
"Whether it's the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire, most of the grain is controlled by those nobles."
Xiao Ze also understood that land annexation in the two Empires was very severe, and very few commoners owned land.
Even in Qingxi Village, where Xiao Ze lived, about forty percent of the land belonged to nobles.
Qingxi Village was considered wealthy; in other less prosperous villages, it might be one hundred percent.
Land was the nobles' favorite.
If Xiao Ze did this, he could drive down the price of grain very low.
It would be a good thing for most commoners.
But these nobles would no longer make money.
Conflicts of interest would make many people hate Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze smiled: "I've lived in a village since I was young, so I'm very clear about these things.
To put it selfishly, I'm doing this for my own God Position, and I will see it through."
"A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions." Ye Lingling felt there was nothing wrong with it; who doesn't have selfish motives?
Everyone has selfish motives; people are not saints. Are saints without selfish motives?
A person without selfish motives cannot be considered human at all.
"I can help with this matter and have the Liuli Business Association sell these seeds." Ning Rongrong waved her fist, determined to make Xiao Ze rely on her until he became a God Position.
Xiao Ze held Ning Rongrong's hand, "No, Spirit Hall is more suitable for this kind of thing."
"Spirit Hall is full of Spirit Masters; they don't have that obsession with land, and there are Spirit Halls everywhere, making promotion the easiest.
After promotion, Spirit Hall can gain prestige, and I can gain faith and merit. It's a win-win situation, and Spirit Hall will agree."
The girls knew Xiao Ze was confident, so they didn't say anything.
Spirit Hall was indeed suitable.
No other force had a wider reach than Spirit Hall.
"In that case, if you need any help in the future, just find your Sister Rongrong," Ning Rongrong proudly patted her chest, which could be held in one hand.
Xiao Ze felt it seemed to have grown quite a bit.
"Naughty," he pinched Ning Rongrong's cheek. The smooth touch made him not want to let go.
…
"Is this the Heaven Dou City Battle Spirit Arena? It's truly magnificent." After living at Thunder Academy, Tang San decided to participate in Battle Spirit to hone his combat abilities.
Due to his Spirit, it was difficult for him to defeat Xiao Ze, even using his hammer, it was still very challenging.
So he had to push his potential to quickly improve his strength.
Battle Spirit was a very good method.
Tang San successfully registered and quickly entered the arena.
His opponent was a tall man with bulging muscles all over his body.
"So it's you," the man opposite smiled.
For some reason, Tang San heard mockery in his laughter.
He frowned and asked, "Do I know you?"
"My name is Tai Long. You might not know me, but I know you. Your academy wanted to join our Blue Tyrant Academy, but our dean directly kicked you out.
And when you left, you seemed to have many wounds on your face."
Hearing this, Tang San's expression turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect this person to be a student from Blue Tyrant Academy.
"No more nonsense, let's get straight to the point."
"Good!"
"Prepare for the match!"
Tang San's right hand manifested Blue Silver Grass, and a large number of Blue Silver Grass vines appeared around his body.
"Heh, can Blue Silver Grass also become a Spirit Master?" Tai Long scoffed. With the Great Ape Possession, his already robust body swelled up again.
He looked like a giant ape.
