…

John looked at the big goose that Lil Si was about to stuff into its mouth. Then, he finally found the goose in the Monster Encyclopedia.

[Dark Swan]: At first glance, it looked like a big goose. In fact, it originally had dark purple feathers. However, when it encountered people or unknown dangers, the feathers on its body would automatically turn white, disguising itself as an ordinary big goose.

With the power of darkness, when it shouted, it would make people lose their minds. Normal people would be easily affected by it. Then, this would allow the Dark Swan to control them, becoming their puppets. When the Dark Swans were hungry, the puppets would become their snack.

Moreover, the Dark Swan was a monster that lived in groups. They would usually hunt together. When people encountered a Dark Swan, their companions would definitely be around.

After understanding this, John looked up at Lil Si’s belly. The bulging belly indicated that Lil Si must have swallowed a group of Dark Swans to solve its breakfast while John was still meditating.

Someone would definitely ask why Lil Si was fine since Dark Swans could confuse the mind. Lil Si had even relied on himself to deal with a group of Dark Swans.

In fact, the reason why Dark Swans could easier manipulate one’s mind was mainly because human nature was too complicated. More or less, humans had their own inner demons and desires.

It was because of these complicated human hearts and desires that they were easy to be manipulated by the Dark Swan. Lil Si was different. It was just an iron-skinned fool who only wanted to eat.

Perhaps when the Dark Swan was trying to confuse Lil Si, it was like delicious food to Lil Si that kept telling Lil Si, “Come and eat me, I’m really delicious.”

Just like that, the Dark Swan family lost themselves in Lil Si’s stomach.

No wonder when John told it not to do that, Lil Si ate it as if it could not hear him.

It was only when John mentioned that its former owner abandoned it that it came back to its senses.

John was still glad that Lil Si was fine.

However, he did not forget to remind the netizens, “Everyone, when you see a purple goose in the future, you must pay attention to cover your ears. Otherwise, it will be easy for these monsters to turn you into puppets and snacks.”

“Of course, such dark monsters usually only appear in the deep mountains and forests. I don’t think you will encounter such danger when you live in the city.”

“If you run into them, remember what I said.”

John explained to the netizens.

“The religious leader is too considerate. He was worried that we would run into monsters!”

“As expected, it’s a right choice to be his fan! The priest is really handsome and has a kind heart. I love you even more.”

“But, Lil Si has eaten so many monsters. Will it be poisoned?”

“Yeah, Lil Si has eaten so many monsters. Will it also become a monster? You have to help her quickly!”

…

From the looks of Lil Si, there should nit be any problems, but it had eaten a little too much. John was also worried that something might go wrong.

Thinking about it, John took out the Saintess’ Tears that the system had previously rewarded him and threw it into Lil Si’s mouth.

“Quickly drink it. It will help clear your demonic aura and also increase your magic resistance. In the future, when I see you eating this kind of monster, I won’t have to worry about any harm to your body anymore.”

Lil Si opened its mouth to take it. Coincidentally, this big goose that had not shaved its fur was burning its throat.

On the other side…

In the big city’s Apple TV office building, national husband, William, suddenly pushed away the beauty beside him. His expression was unsightly.

The boss of the Blue Whale Live Broadcast Platform, Titus, could be considered his uncle. However, for the sake of a live streamer, he had an argument with William.

Coincidentally, the boss of Aile, Mike, and the boss of Brothers, Owen, were also arguing. One of them smashed the cup in his hand, while the other cursed out loud.

However, the three bosses could do nothing about it.

When it came to background and backing, Titus from the Blue Whale was not inferior to the three of them. Titus was not afraid of them at all.

Moreover, the conditions Titus gave at the beginning were simply a loss-making proposition.

It was not surprising that John chose to sign a contract with Blue Whale.

In business, no one would go against money.

In the president’s office of the Blue Whale Live Broadcast, President Titus narrowed his eyes like a general on an expedition.

In front of him stood Catherine, who was dressed like a white-collar worker from the city.

Titus waved at Catherine.

“See, the religious leader is too popular. You have to set off immediately and head to Mazalorat Mountain.”

“If I don’t get the religious leader to sign the contract, I won’t be able to sleep and eat in peace.”

“Also, raise the guaranteed annual salary to 15 million. Hmph, let’s see who else will fight for him.”

Catherine nodded and left the president’s office.

At the foot of the Mazalorat Mountain, John was preparing to go up the mountain.

He had no idea that a big fight had just taken place.

After John put on his priest uniform, he realized that the number of people online in the live broadcast room had unknowingly reached 400,000.

The Popularity Value that he had used up last night quickly shot up to 200,000.

John was stunned when he saw the gift list.

In just a few minutes, he had gained more than 300 large airplanes, which amounted to more than 600,000 yuan.

In other words, John had received another 300,000 yuan after broadcasting for the whole morning.

When did money become so easy to earn?

After reading the comments in the broadcast room, John finally understood what had just happened.

John could not help but smile bitterly and apologize to the three live broadcast bosses.

“Thank you for your kind words, three bosses, but I have already agreed to sign a contract with Blue Whale. A gentleman’s word is a promise.”

“Leave your bank card number in the private messages, and I will return the money that you gave me.”

The netizens praised John one after another and left bullet comments.

“The religious leader is a particular person. I really admire the religious leader.”

“300 large airplanes and you got 300,000 right? The religious leader’s attitude is admirable.”

“Haha, I can be really cheap sometimes, so I really admire the religious leader.”

“This is a different realm for him. You guys don’t understand.”

….

At this moment, great Titus threw out 300 large airplanes in one go. The special effects exploded.

Titus left a message. “The religious leader is a particular person. I’ll make up for the money he gave you.”

“Welcome to the Blue Whale Live Broadcast family. I’ll serve you wholeheartedly.”

John could not help but smile bitterly.

He had finally experienced the tyranny of capitalists.

At this moment, a comment with the ID ‘The Most Handsome In The Universe’ floated past.

“Religious leader, there’s no need to return it. Even if you choose Blue Whale, I’m still your most loyal fan.”

Many netizens recognized it. It was the alt account of the national husband, William. Thus, it caused another sensation.

John sent a private message to the three presidents.

In the end, the three presidents all said that John did not need to return it, and they looked forward to the opportunity to work together in the future.

John had no choice but to give up.

John slowly walked up the mountain. From afar, he saw Lil Si sitting by the church door, seemingly looking at something.

John greeted him, and Lil Si immediately came over. He shook his big head and affectionately rubbed against John’s pant leg.

In the live broadcast room, many netizens saw Lil Si for the first time. One after another, they sent out comments.

“Oh my God, this must be Lil Si. The religious leader is awesome.”

“I see my Lil Si again. I haven’t seen it for a night, and it feels like three years have passed.”

“If I were to see this in the wild, I would definitely pee my pants in fear.”

“How did the cult master tame such a big four-legged snake that’s so intelligent.?”

…

“Lil Si is not a four-legged snake. It has been purified into a dragon.”

John briefly introduced Lil Si. Then, he packed his things, carried a basket on his back, and went up the mountain.

Half an hour later, John had already climbed up the back of the mountain with Lil Si.

A man and a dragon shuttled through the winding path.

The back of the mountain was steep. On the left was a hundred thousand feet cliff, and on the right was a lush mountain forest.

John walked along the narrow path, his body looking even more determined as the wind blew.

He did not walk fast. He mainly had to wait for Lil Si, afraid that it would fall down the mountain.

WhenLil Si had not evolved into a dragon, of course, he did not have to be afraid. However, Lil Si had not evolved for long, so it was still not very familiar with the walk using his four legs. Thus, Lil Si kept swaying back and forth.

John introduced as he walked.

“When I was young, I often went to the back of the mountain with my grandfather to pick unique wild fruits and herbs.”

“This old forest is called the Eternal Night Forest. There are treasures everywhere in the forest. Sometimes, you can see a pile of wild fruits when you look up. However, there are also many monsters in the deep mountains and forests. At that time, my grandfather would not take me in too deep.”

At this point, John stood on tiptoe and reached for the tree with the sickle in his hand. He put it in front of the camera.

“Everyone, look at what I’ve found.”

Under the camera, the netizens could see clearly that it was a bunch of red fruits. They were bright red and looked crystal clear under the sunlight.

In the live broadcast room, comments came out.

“Isn’t this a tomato? Is there something special about it?”

“Other than the color being darker than a tomato, I can’t see anything else. Please enlighten me.”

“Have you ever seen a tomato grow on such a big tree?”

…

John smiled as he explained to everyone.

“This is called a Holy Spirit Fruit in our place. It’s dark red in color, and there are some that are so red that they turn black. It’s a kind of wild fruit. It’s especially sweet to eat, and it can also supplement vitamins. Eating it is especially good for the human body.”

“The tomatoes and cherry tomatoes that everyone can see now are all artificially grown. This wild Holy Spirit Fruit isn’t common, and it’s rich in fiber nutrients that can’t be compared to it.”

As John spoke, he picked a large pile of Holy Spirit Fruits that were within reach. Some of them were put into his own basket, and a large portion of them was naturally thrown to the favorite, Lil Si.

Xiao Si ate a few of them in one bite happily.

Then, John continued walking forward. From time to time, he would pick some other wild fruits, herbs, and the like, and introduce them to everyone.

“This is the Amethyst Fruit. It looks like a bunch of grapes, but its color is transparent and light purple. This texture has an ice-cold feel to it. It tastes ice-cold, like the taste of chewing ice cubes. It has a slight sweetness, and it’s not really delicious, unlike the Holy Spirit Fruit. However, for people who have heat stroke, eating this can quickly remove the heat in their body and relieve the heat.”

“Everyone, take a look. This is the Seven Treasures Grass. It can produce seven different colors of branches and leaves on a stalk of grass. When it matures, it can also grow seven-colored flowers. The Seven Treasures Grass has a very strong hallucinogenic effect. If there is any pain that requires surgery, the Seven Treasures Grass can be boiled with water to achieve a certain amount of anesthetic effect, making people feel no pain.”

“Hehe, I actually found the Dragon Gut.”

Hearing the Dragon Gut, Lil Si looked at John with a strange expression. It was as if it was questioning whether the name of the Dragon Gut that John mentioned was accurate or not.

Seeing Lil Si’s big round eyes squinting weirdly, John seemed to understand a little.

“Sorry, Lil Si, I almost forgot that you’re a dragon now. However, the Dragon Gut has little to do with your race!”

Although it was comforted, Lil Si was still very embarrassed.

After confirming that it was not what it thought, it continued to eat the delicious wild fruit that John had given it along the way.

“Dragon Gut isn’t something delicious. It’s actually a mushroom, and it’s highly poisonous. The mushroom has a red umbrella-shaped body, and the stalk of the mushroom is white. If you pick this and cook it, you probably won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow. Your eyes will be filled with illusions.”

“And this…”

…

As John introduced, he placed the edible wild fruits and medicinal herbs with other effects in the basket on his back.

In the live broadcast room, the netizens were all sighing.

“The religious leader is so young, but he actually knows these things. I’m afraid that even we doctors don’t know these things, right?”

“He’s handsome and so knowledgeable. Give me a dozen of such precious streamers.”

“He really is a God-like streamer. It’s a pity that capable people like him are getting lesser.”

…

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, John suddenly exclaimed in surprise and looked in a certain direction.

He raised his eyebrows and gave a faint smile as if he had discovered something good.

This time, all the netizens became curious.

In the live broadcast room, the comments went wild.

“Oh my God, what did the religious leader discover?”

“When I saw the religious leader like this, I knew something good had appeared.”

“Quickly take a look! What is it?”

“Religious leader, quickly tell me! What did you see?”
