The Charlatan Qi Mo

Inside the big house.

Qi Mo glanced at the Queen Mother of the West, then at the Zhang clan chief, and fell into deep thought.

These two old folks were hesitant to say certain things because they were afraid of me being there. Since that's the case, I might as well give them a chance to be alone together.

With the system around, finding out what the two were secretly talking about was a piece of cake for him.

Qi Mo stood up and said to the Zhang clan chief:

"I wish to tour the Zhang clan's territory, so I will not disturb your conversation."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West's eyes lit up. Once the deity left, there were some things she could discuss with the Zhang clan chief.

The Zhang clan patriarch quickly stood up and respectfully said:

"My Lord, I will send two members of my clan to show you around the Zhang clan's territory."

Qi Mo nodded.

Soon, two members of the Zhang clan entered and led Qi Mo away from the main house to visit the Zhang clan's territory.

With the divine figure no longer present, the Queen Mother of the West and the Zhang clan chief were finally able to boldly conduct their transaction.

The Queen Mother of the West stared at the Zhang clan chief like a venomous snake that would devour him without spitting out the bones:

"Besides what I've already mentioned, you also have one more thing to do for me."

"What's wrong?"

"While I am asleep, keep an eye on the actions of the gods."

The Zhang clan chief suddenly raised his head and met the gaze of the Queen Mother of the West.

What does the Queen Mother of the West mean by this?

Ask him to help monitor the gods?

If they are discovered by accident, the Zhang clan will likely face great calamity.

But he couldn't let go of the "art of immortality," and was in a dilemma for a while.

"Your divine power is immense; I am afraid I cannot grant your request..."

Before the Zhang clan chief could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother of the West:

"I only asked you to keep an eye on the deity, not to spy on him."

"All you need to do is have your people find out everything the deity does during the thousand years I've been asleep. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"I promise you, a thousand years from now, when I awaken from my slumber, I will come to the Zhang clan's territory and rouse you."

As she spoke, she took out a tiger skin from her sleeve and handed it to the Zhang clan chief.

The Zhang clan chief did not refuse, following his heart, and accepted the animal hide:

"This, this is the secret to immortality."

His voice trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West secretly sneered.

It is indeed the "art of immortality," but it is an incomplete version.

She would never pass on the real "secret to immortality" to anyone else.

The Queen Mother of the West was unaware that the "art of immortality" that Qi Mo gave her also had problems.

Otherwise, she might get so angry she'd vomit blood and then go to confront Qi Mo.

The Zhang clan chief opened the animal skin and carefully read the text on it.

During this process, he did not speak or make any significant noise.

The Queen Mother of the West sat quietly, waiting for the Zhang clan chief to finish reading the art of immortality.

After reading it three times and memorizing all the contents, the Zhang clan chief threw the animal hide into the nearby fire without hesitation.

With a sizzle, the animal hide was burned to ashes.

The Queen Mother of the West was not at all surprised that the Zhang clan chief would do this.

After all, people are selfish, and no one wants to share the "secret to immortality" with others.

The Zhang clan patriarch's withered fingers pressed against the wooden table:

"I agree to all the requests you made before."

"The Queen Mother of the West's Palace will be guarded by my Zhang clan for generations to come, and the matter of the divine stone will never be revealed..."

Thus, the two reached a cooperation agreement.

Under a towering tree, the system relayed the entire conversation between the two to Qi Mo, word for word.

After listening to their conversation, Qi Mo smiled sarcastically.

"Queen Mother of the West, you actually sent people to 'monitor' me. A thousand years from now, I'll give you a good welcome."

"At that time, I will keep you awake, and then I will slowly dissect you."

Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on his lips.

Yes, that's how it should be done.

The fact that the Queen Mother of the West was being dissected while fully conscious would certainly provide a lot of shock value.

[You're a genius! You're fucking a genius!]

As expected of its bound host, it is indeed both intelligent and perverted.

I absolutely love it!

Qi Mo noticed that several members of the Zhang clan were walking towards them, and they looked up and smiled at them.

Where are the believers?

He looked towards the crowd and saw a cute-looking child of about four years old looking at him with admiration.

The child has the word "believer" written on his forehead that others cannot see.

Wow, my charm is still too great! I've even captivated a little kid so much that he can't walk anymore!

Qi Mo thought to himself narcissistically.

Although that child is very young and useless now, as long as he grows up, he will definitely spread his name and be worshipped by the Zhang clan...

Just like a missionary.

He waved to the child.

The child pointed to himself in disbelief, and Qi Mo nodded.

Without the slightest hesitation, the child ran up to Qi Mo with a bouncy gait:

"I have met the divine being."

Qi Mo patted the child's head:

"Not bad, not bad. You have great potential and a bright future ahead of you."

You damn charlatan, don't try to fool those kids!

What deception? He's a god; he's telling the absolute truth.

The child's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qi Mo with bright eyes:

"My Lord, will I truly become a successful person?"

"Of course, I am a deity from the heavens above, and I do not lie."

"My Lord, I will be your faithful follower for life!"

And so, Qi Mo gained another loyal and obedient follower.

Shameless, deceiving children.

【Oh, did I say anything just now? I don't think I said anything. Little Momo, you did a great job!】

Qi Mo secretly rolled his eyes.

This garbage system is really greedy for "points".

As long as you have points, you can throw away all moral principles.

System: What are moral concepts? I've never heard of them.

This kid is really helpful; without Qi Mo telling him to do anything, he took the initiative to brainwash his friends.

"The deity is gentle and kind; he even patted my head."

"I'm telling you, as long as we have faith in God, we will all become successful people in the future."

"You, you, and you—why don't you want to become a follower of the gods like me?"

A dozen or so clueless kids were completely fooled.

Neither of them doubted whether their good friend had exaggerated.

A little girl raised her hand:

"Yes, I want to be a believer of the gods."

Another boy with darker skin chimed in:

"I also want to become a believer of the gods."

Seeing this, the remaining children shouted excitedly, vying to become Qi Mo's followers.

…………

Qi Mo stared in disbelief at the rapidly rising shock value.

That kid is a real genius!

Moreover, he's an extremely talented person!

It's a real loss to society if people like this don't get involved in pyramid schemes!

He straightened his clothes, stepped out from the corner, and smiled slightly at the young believers.

In an instant, the young believers were completely captivated.

As expected of a deity, his smile is as gentle as a spring breeze.

Qi Mo coughed and slowly said:

"I possess magic and can conjure things out of thin air. Today, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

He pretended to chant a spell in a low voice, and after he finished, he took out a small mirror from the system space.

This mirror is made of a special material, making it very sturdy and difficult to break. The back is engraved with a Qilin (Chinese unicorn) pattern.

A group of naive kids were all shocked by Qi Mo's actions.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the small mirror in Qi Mo's hand.

"The deity is amazing; he actually knows magic."

"What's so special about that? The little sun above the head of the deity can even shine."

"My lord, I am your follower. May I touch your head?"

"I want one too! I want one too!"

Qi Mo gestured for the young believers to line up, and then patted each of them on the head.

Beside them, two members of the Zhang clan were still in shock at the fact that the deity could conjure something out of thin air, and they stared blankly into space.

The commotion was so great that it attracted the attention of the Zhang clan members in the surrounding area.

They kept providing Qi Mo with shock points.
