Sitting on the cross-border trading group, the country is chasing after it

Chapter 269: Fraudulent Traveler

When Peng Xingzhi saw the Venerable say this, he felt helpless and conflicted.

When he first joined this group, he was excited and happy, but he soon found something was wrong.

There were many people in the group, but no one said anything after he greeted them several times. Only a man named Venerable came out and responded to him in a friendly manner.

At that time, Peng Xingzhi did not care about so many things and started chatting with the Venerable. When he knew that the Venerable could help him fulfill his wish, he was extremely happy and excited. He came to this strange world, and the things he could not let go of the most were his parents, wife and daughter.

He asked the Venerable to help him visit his family, and the Venerable asked him to pay the corresponding compensation.

Peng Xingzhi said that he had a family medical book that he could give to the Venerable, but the Venerable refused, saying that the medical book was useless and that he needed more direct compensation.

Peng Xingzhi exchanged the savings he had accumulated from years of practicing medicine for gold and gave it to the Venerable.

The Venerable kept his promise and helped him visit his family.

From then on, Peng Xingzhi would trade with the Venerable from time to time, asking him to visit his family in exchange for some information about his family's recent situation, and the reward was always gold.

Gradually, he estimated that the Venerable was no longer short of money, so in the next few commissions, he gave gold again, but the other party kept delaying.

Peng Xingzhi was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He did not dare to lose his temper, so he could only coax the boy in a gentle voice and wait for him to come to his senses.

Until this time, the Venerable asked him for medical skills.

Peng Xingzhi's skills are different from others. His medical skills are given by the system after the time travel, not his original ability. With the upgrading of his medical skills, the diagnosis he can give becomes more comprehensive, and the number of diseases he can treat increases.

He asked the system what he would do if he gave the skill to the Venerable.

The system’s answer is [Start from the beginning].

Peng Xingzhi has already gained some fame in the local area, and there is an endless stream of people coming to see him every day. If he gives up his medical skills, it would be like falling back from a famous doctor to the stage of a medical student.

Now Peng Xingzhi finally understood why there was no one chatting in such a large group, because this was not a group, but a closed cage. All the time travelers who had concerns in the present world had handles in the hands of the Venerable, and everyone was trapped in the past.

In such an unpleasant environment, everyone is naturally unwilling to communicate.

As for the Venerable, he now really wants Peng Xingzhi's medical skills.

As the Society of Divine Blessing grew in strength and gained more and more followers, he was in urgent need of medical skills that could cure a wide range of diseases.

When recruiting believers of the Divine Help Society, the Venerable had already divided these believers into different levels.

For the lower-class believers, he only needed to perform miracles occasionally to make them convinced.

For a long time afterwards, the Venerable would no longer appear before the lower-class believers.

But believers will not doubt the Venerable, they will only doubt that they are not pious enough and cannot receive God's favor.

The Venerable handled it very well. The more he was distant with these lower-class believers, the more loyal they became.

The Venerable uses the power of faith obtained from believers to practice, and this power of faith is his magic weapon to heal people.

However, among the lower-class believers, even those who could receive treatment from the Venerable, eighty percent were not truly cured. The Venerable gave them the Hell Flowers obtained from the Hell World. The Hell Flowers could reduce a person's pain and give them a pleasant feeling.

Those patients who are tortured by illness day and night, once they no longer feel pain, will think that they have been cured, and will worship the Venerable as a god and obey his words even more.

Even if these people died of illness in the end, no one would doubt it, because believers would only feel that it was a supreme honor for these people to be favored by God and then called away by God.

Even if it is discovered that they died of illness, believers will feel that God had healed them before, and now their illness has recurred, it must be because they wavered in their faith and so God took away their favor.

In short, as long as the believers are willing, they will automatically find various reasonable reasons for His Holiness.

Even if some believers question or resist, they may be murdered by other believers and become a cold corpse.

Among this group of lower-class believers, there were also those who were truly healed, such as those who could not walk and those who were blind.

These diseases cannot be cured by the illusion caused by the Hell Flower, so the Venerable will use the power of faith to heal them, allowing them to stand up in public or regain their vision.

In short, the Venerable is a top PUA master.

Excluding the lower class believers, the remaining ones are the middle class believers and the upper class believers.

Middle-class believers are the middle class. They are often highly educated and have good jobs. These believers will not ask God for help unless they are in trouble.

These people are the backbone of the Divine Blessing Society, and were also one of the means for the Venerable to make money in the early stages of the development of the Divine Blessing Society.

However, after the Venerable's wealth and connections accumulated to a certain level, these believers were no longer of much use to him.

Finally, there are the high-ranking believers who control enormous wealth and resources.

They include old aristocrats with hundreds of years of family history, emerging wealthy people, and high-ranking officials from many countries.

For these people, the Venerable will not use fake treatment methods such as the incense of hell to fool them, but will use the real power of faith to heal them.

In order to better control these people, the Venerable would keep dragging out a disease that could be cured in one go.

However, the Venerable is coming into contact with more and more high-level believers, and he needs to use the power of faith more and more.

He is not a great philanthropist, and he doesn't want to keep doing something that consumes so much of his energy.

So he set his sights on Peng Xingzhi's medical skills.

According to system regulations, the skills of traversers can be transferred but cannot be forcibly plundered.

The Reverend (Modern World): Actually, I want your medical skills for your daughter.

Peng Xingzhi suddenly panicked: What happened to my daughter?

Venerable (Modern World): Your daughter is sick and modern medicine cannot cure her. You can only use your medical skills.

Venerable (Modern World): You transfer your medical skills to me, which doesn't mean that you can no longer be a doctor. You just have to start practicing again from scratch.

Peng Xingzhi did not agree immediately, but fell into deep thought. It was not that he did not want to save his daughter, but he was thinking about the truthfulness of the Venerable's words.

Through this period of time together, he has come to understand that the Venerable is an extreme egoist.

Venerable (Modern World): Please think about it carefully.

The Venerable did not urge him. After all, at this time, the person on the opposite side was more anxious than him.

Anyway, he has exclusive resources, so as long as Peng Xingzhi cares about his family, he can only turn to him.

Peng Xingzhi (from a family of traditional Chinese medicine): I want to know what disease my daughter has.

The Venerable was well prepared and directly sent the medical diagnosis of Peng Xingzhi's daughter.

Venerable (Modern World): As long as you transfer your skills to me, I can not only cure your daughter, but also ensure that she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Peng Xingzhi gritted his teeth. The Venerable might be lying to him, but he couldn't afford to take the risk. After all, it was his daughter's life.

Thinking of the soft and sweet daughter who called him dad, Peng Xingzhi couldn't be cruel at all. Finally, he agreed: Okay, I promise you.

When Peng Xingzhi was about to transfer his skills, a prompt suddenly popped up in his medical system.

[Does the host confirm the transfer? If the transfer is made, the previous accumulated medical skills will be cleared and the host will start from zero. Kindly note that the host's social status and wealth gained by medical skills may be damaged. ]

When Peng Xingzhi saw this reminder, his heart was suddenly stabbed again.

He understood what the system meant. After he transferred his medical skills, it meant that the diseases he could treat before could no longer be treated, and his social status would no longer exist.

But in comparison, his daughter's life is more important, and this is probably the last thing he can do for his daughter as a father.

As for him, he can start over again.

However, starting over again this time, Peng Xingzhi has become more sober. He should use the system skills while improving himself. Only things that truly belong to you cannot be taken away.

Peng Xingzhi took a deep breath and clicked confirm.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ancient medical skill [Reincarnation of Hua Tuo]. This skill is level 0 and has a usage interval of 168 hours. The host can upgrade the skill every time he successfully treats a patient. With the upgrade of the skill, the host will be able to unlock more disease treatment methods and shorten the usage interval.]

The Venerable's face quickly darkened.

"Why is my skill only level 0? Peng Xingzhi's skill is clearly level 10."

[This is Peng Xingzhi's skill, now it is the host's skill. ]

The Venerable's system of answering questions was completely businesslike, even revealing a kind of cold and perfunctory attitude.

The Venerable knew that it was pointless to argue with the system, as the other party was just a program and there was no room for negotiation.

What he said just now was purely venting and complaining, and he didn't expect the system to help him upgrade his skills.

"Okay, that's it. Anyway, it's better to have it than not to have it. It's worth my fake medical diagnosis."

The Venerable smiled smugly. He looked at his chat group of time travelers with great confidence. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. The more he looked, the more he felt that he was about to take control of the world.

In the void, his system was flickering silently, and his group members remained silent.

In comparison, Jiang Ruochu's time-travel chat group was so lively that the system could hardly bear it.
