Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 842 - 802: No Mercy in the Scam

He hurriedly lowered his head, putting on a look of fearless determination in the face of death.

This attitude, as it entered King Dayou's eyes, immediately made him secretly give this guy a thumbs up in his heart.

At such a critical moment, only this fellow could really make himself useful.

But King Dayou didn't know that at this moment, Daoist Wu's Heart Sect was plotting something, planning to take advantage in this situation for a great benefit.

Since this fellow could manage to reach the position of Master of the Celestial Observatory, it naturally meant he had a very clever mind.

Not only that, but he was also an expert in fooling people.

By using his smooth tongue and quick thinking, this guy had not few times taken benefits in the Dayou Kingdom.

Take this situation for example, although the continuous booming sound made him a bit startled, he could judge that this level of noise, even if it were indeed a heavenly punishment, wouldn't be too serious.

And it was precisely because of this that he thought to seize this opportunity and reap a hefty profit.

So he spoke directly to King Dayou:

"Your humble servant is willing to sacrifice my cultivation to bear this heavenly punishment for Your Majesty!"

After speaking, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times to King Dayou, then immediately stood up, turned around, and left without looking back.

Seeing that graceful figure walking out of the main hall, even King Dayou couldn't help but be moved to tears.

This aura, unrivaled, was to take on the burden for the countless people of the Dayou Kingdom, for the stability of my reign.

If such a person shouldn't be rewarded, then who should be?

No matter how fawning and bragging this guy was in daily life, how many could truly step forward at such a crucial moment?

Leaving aside King Dayou's sighing in the palace, let's talk about Daoist Wu who had just left.

Once he stepped out of the hall, he couldn't suppress a deep smile from curling up on his lips.

He laughed silently, but because he was so overjoyed, his body couldn't help but tremble a few times along with his laughter.

The little eunuch following behind him, seeing this scene, couldn't help but give Daoist Wu a thumbs up in his heart.

Truly a man of great stature, able to step forward without hesitation in the face of danger.

And he bore all the pain on his own shoulders, even if crying, he could only cry here silently and secretly, not daring to let anyone notice. This spirit is truly something they should learn.

Just like that, as Daoist Wu returned, he immediately began instructing people to prepare the necessary items to counter the supposed heavenly punishment.

In less than a quarter of an hour, King Dayou already had a silk scroll filled with writing in hand.

"Are all these things Daoist Wu needs to face this heavenly punishment?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Daoist Wu said the heavenly punishment is extremely powerful this time. He is very determined and will exert great effort, and these supplies alone may not be enough."

25,000 taels of gold!

25,000 taels of silver!

20 pairs of virgin boys and girls!

500 live cattle and sheep each!

500 chickens and ducks each...

There was a long list of needed items following.

As his eyes scanned through line by line, a pained expression appeared on King Dayou's face.

But considering the severe consequences of the heavenly punishment, he had to grit his teeth and then picked up the official brush beside him to approve the request.

Yet, just as he approved it, the loud booming suddenly disappeared.

This left him momentarily stunned, and he looked outside while also prompting the little eunuch beside him:

"Do you hear, has the noise disappeared?"

The little eunuch naturally also heard that the noise outside had vanished.

When King Dayou asked, he immediately nodded:

"Yes, Your Majesty, the servant hears that the noise indeed has disappeared."

This made King Dayou incredibly delighted.

Instantly, he laughed heartily toward the sky while tossing the approved scroll aside.

He loudly instructed the little eunuch: 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Hahaha, the sound has disappeared, quickly go and summon Daoist Wu. Since there's no heavenly punishment, there's no need to prepare those things."

Hearing this, the little eunuch immediately bowed and acknowledged, then turned and ran toward outside the hall.

However, this time, he couldn't find Daoist Wu immediately, but ran straight to the Celestial Observatory where Daoist Wu was, finally seeing Daoist Wu preparing the rituals.

"Daoist, His Majesty requests your presence."

Hearing this, Daoist Wu immediately frowned.

He also naturally understood why His Majesty was summoning him.

The strange noise had vanished, wasn't this putting him in a difficult position?

Having just requested so many items from His Majesty, but you stopped making noise, what position does that leave me in?

Despite these thoughts, his face showed no emotion, instead he nodded seriously, then followed the little eunuch toward the main hall of the Royal Palace.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the hall, King Dayou indeed told him there was no need to prepare the rituals anymore, saying the disappearance of the sound meant the heavenly punishment had gone.

But how could Daoist Wu be willing to give up? Those gold and silver were practically waving at him.

Thinking this, he immediately spoke to King Dayou with righteousness:

"Your Majesty, this must not be! The noise has vanished entirely because your humble servant used magic to communicate with the heavens, promising to perform a ceremony to placate them, which is why they withdrew.

And if your humble servant cannot keep his promise, I'm afraid the heavenly punishment will descend even more violently!"

Upon hearing this, sure enough, King Dayou furrowed his brow, falling into deep thought.

He didn't know if Daoist Wu's words were true or false and whether the vanishing of the sound was as Daoist Wu claimed.

If it truly was like this, then these things must not be stopped over these days.

But could it really be so miraculous?

Remember, since Daoist Wu left, only a quarter of an hour has passed…
