Chapter 10 Church Censorship Begins

In fact, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this article.

Alexandre Dumas uses delicate and moving writing to describe a bowl of noodles that is so desirable that one's mouth will water just by reading the words, and a cup of magical drink.

...But when Lucifer thought that this was actually instant noodles and Sprite, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, but he still restrained his desire to complain and continued reading.

In addition to describing the delicacies, Alexandre Dumas also focused on describing how these delicacies can only be obtained through trials. She relied on the strength of her boyfriend (Lu: They have already started dating, so fast) to successfully eat this most delicious delicacy in the world.

taste.

Seeing this, Lucifer understood.

Daqing's shop has become a place to prove one's strength to lovers... It seems that no matter what world you are in, showing off to the opposite sex cannot be eradicated.

Because it is a normal courtship behavior, it will probably not be punished by God. After all, the strength is there, and there must be a chance to show it off so that others can know your advantages.

Unexpectedly, Alexandre Dumas's meal was really not in vain. Writing such an article can attract new customers for him. It seems that Alexandre Dumas can come often to try his new creations in the future.

Speaking of which, the French writer Alexandre Dumas once wrote a "Gourmet Dictionary". I wonder if Miss Alexandre Dumas in this world can also write a similar book——

Forget it, if I keep writing about instant noodles, Sprite, Coke, etc., I always feel inexplicably embarrassed.

While Lucifer was reading the newspaper, the guests had finished eating.

The noodle group was given according to the price mentioned by Alexandre Dumas in the newspaper, but the popping candy group was a bit more subtle. After careful consideration, they actually gave the sky-high price of 2 silver coins for the popping candy.

"It's not necessary..."

However, the young couple insisted that he accept it: "The sage gave us the opportunity to eat the magical candies that are enough to be used as sacrifices. We also occupied the chessboard for so long. This is what we should do."

Since people were so determined to give him money, the young Lucifer, who originally wanted to be considerate of these frugal people who came to date, accepted it directly without any pretense.

The landlord’s family has no food left!

The popping candy also cost him a silver coin. He originally thought that he could get his money back, but now he actually made a profit, so what nonsense is there!

Facts have proved that celebrity effect knows no bounds. After the two couples left, Lucifer continued to receive three or four couples one after another until nightfall.

In the next few days, some more people came here. Although not as many as the first day, it was still pretty good. Lucifer's income and expenditure had reached a stable stage, and he made money from the wholesale price of instant noodles in the store.

One stroke.

Originally, after so many days, the advertising effect was almost done, and what was supposed to come had already come, and those who had not seen that issue of the newspaper would not go back to read it. However, after a few days, the traffic volume actually increased sharply.

It is said that the customer flow has increased, but in fact, excluding those who have not passed the "test", about seven or eight orders can be completed every day, but for a store that is easily punished by God, this is already a lot, so much that Lucifer is puzzled.

.

It was not until Lucifer heard the exchanges between the guests that he understood why.

"Is it going to be reviewed soon?"

"Yes, this store is ranked number one! If you don't come now, I feel like you may not have the chance in the future..."

Lucifer was stunned.

I don't know if it is cooperating with the church, but Eden Daily conducted a poll on "Which store deserves the most damnation from God?" The voting range was the street where the next church review will be, and the Apple store in Lucifer ranked first.

Yes, because there is no text on the sign of Lucifer's store, the newspaper directly called it "Apple Store" and specifically stated that it does not sell apples.

At first, he just wanted to complain that this city was actually called Eden. Since it is the Garden of Eden, shouldn't he, a guy who wants to cause trouble, bring the fruit of wisdom like Satan?

What's wrong with drawing an apple as a sign? Anyway, the position of the bite on the apple is different, so even if Apple wanted to sue him for infringement across the world, it would be useless.

But looking at this ranking list, Lucifer couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder there are more customers, because in this world, "deserving of divine punishment" means rarity, enjoyment, deliciousness, luxury...

This ranking list is actually equivalent to an advertisement. He should actually thank Eden Daily. It seems that there are many people who are willing to bear a certain degree of natural punishment.

It's a pity that even if so many people come to give money, Lucifer can only bear the pain and only earn half of them. After all, there are winners and losers, and only the winners can eat delicious food. This is the rule he set at the beginning.

... Let’s get over the church’s review first, and then make changes so as not to affect the plan.

Lucifer sighed, feeling that it was really not easy for him. The money was delivered to the door, but he confiscated it. He was simply more saint than saint.

——This situation, which was somewhat popular compared to the deserted situation when it first opened, lasted until the day before the church review.

On the day of the church review, no one entered the Apple store until the afternoon.

"I knew it would be like this."

Lucifer sat behind the counter, flipping through the newly drawn "Song of Ice and Fire" and complaining.

"Being seen by people in the church will affect the people in the church's impression of you - that's just the idea, right? The church is really in the way. Doesn't it hinder people from making money?"

[This will indeed happen if the bishop sees you entering and leaving a store that has not passed the inspection.]

"So it doesn't matter if it passes the review."

[Yes. But whether it’s backgammon or Go, in the eyes of the bishop, it may represent playing with one’s ambition——]

Lucifer smiled casually: "Don't worry, this is the best problem to solve."

The alarm clock slowly played a question mark.

Just as he was talking, the censors finally arrived.

The first person was a middle-aged man wearing a bishop's robe. His hair was a little sparse, and his appearance had a serious and unsmiling look. He looked like a old-fashioned senior dean, who walked into the Apple store with a straight face.

Following him was the representative of the Board of Elders, Elder Bill Forbes. His smile was very friendly, but Lucifer knew that this was a man who could be punished by God n times until he bit his tongue.

And it is impossible to expect Elder Bill to show mercy to people who seem to have some inexplicable resentment towards him.

A young priest who walked in last, probably a secretary or clerk, held a notebook and pen in his hand, and looked around curiously as soon as he came in.

Lucifer changed his usual lazy behavior, stood up and greeted the three uninvited guests with a smile: "Welcome——"

"No need to be polite." Bishop Gregory was stunned when he saw Lucifer, thinking that the legendary angel probably looked like this - but he couldn't show favoritism just because he looked very good and liked him!

So Bishop Gregory said in a more businesslike tone than usual: "Just do it the same way you treat other people."

He put on a posture of refusing to accept soft or hard advice, and no one could interfere with his making correct judgments.

Lucifer raised his eyebrows, and his expression suddenly returned to coldness: "Ah, then I'm not welcome. You three, please sit down."

Probably because he didn't expect Lucifer's face to change so quickly, Bishop Gregory was stunned for a few seconds.

Although he said this and really meant it, he had never seen anyone in the shop he inspected who could immediately remove his smile when he heard what he said.

Especially when the other person was not smiling, he had an indescribable sense of majesty, more powerful than him as a bishop, and even had some sacred meaning. This made him feel a little uneasy, always feeling that he had offended the other person.

but……

If he had this attitude in normal times, he wouldn't be the type to use sweet words and flattery to lure customers into spending, so he could probably rest assured in this aspect.

Alas, people who want to make money despite divine punishment cannot be eradicated. If everyone were as generous and kind as Elder Bill, how much worry could he save!

After the three of them found a place to sit down, Elder Bill said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered that the boy from the Einstein family even praised this store."

"Oh?" Bishop Gregory's eyes suddenly became sharp, "What did he praise?"

"It seems to be delicious or something... ah!" Elder Bill said with a smile, "Oh, I'm getting older, cough, cough, cough, so I can't remember it."

The young priest quickly answered: "Ah, according to the information, the shop owner is a sage. He tests others by solving math-related puzzles on the checkerboard. If he is rewarded... it is said to be very delicious noodles, or a wonderful texture.

drinks."

Bishop Gregory frowned: "Delicious..."

For a bishop, delicious is not a good word.

However, the young priest said weakly: "If it is a trial, it is actually not bad. Didn't the hero Harry finally drink the water of Tianquan after passing many trials? The epic says that the water of Tianquan is

The spring water is extremely delicious..."

"How can it be the same?" Bishop Gregory frowned, "The test that the hero Harry has experienced is very challenging even now. He can get the spring water from the Tianquan, which is a deserved reward!

"

Lucifer sneered silently.

Elder Bill, who had been secretly paying attention to Lucifer, shuddered under the gaze of those golden eyes and subconsciously smoothed things over.

"Let's try this sage's trial first. Maybe it's so challenging that even if the rewards are more delicious, it won't be too much."

Bishop Gregory nodded: "Yes, we should seek truth from facts, and our evaluation should wait until we have experienced it - sage, please show us your test."

Lucifer, who had been watching coldly for a long time, said calmly: "Okay."

[Is it really okay? You have only drawn Go and poker cards now, which can easily be regarded as...]

"It's not like you have to rely on smoking for everything. I told you this is the easiest problem to solve."

Lucifer said to the alarm clock.
