Chapter 703 Food and Faith

Among the six experiments, from easy to complex, the first experiment designed by Zhou Ming is about food and belief.

Look at food and belief, which one is more important.

In the face of this problem, I am afraid that most people will choose food.

Food is definitely more important.

After all, if there is no food, a person can live up to five or seven days. If he loses his faith, he can still live without danger to his life.

So if you value your personal life, most people will definitely choose food.

However, if Zhou Ming designed the experiment in this way, then the first group of 500 samples would have to choose between life and faith... it would not have much to do with food.

So in order to highlight the theme of "food and faith", Zhou Ming asked people to prepare two types of food.

One is gourmet food, top-notch food, food that can make people experience happiness, satisfaction and joy.

The other type of food is the other extreme, corresponding to gourmet food. People often call it "difficult to swallow food", "dark cuisine", "devil's food" and other titles... The characteristics of this type of food In addition to being unpalatable, there is also a guarantee that people will not starve to death.

Therefore, in the first set of experiments, Zhou Ming tested food or belief under the premise of ensuring that all sample subjects would not die. Which one is more important?

And when Zhou Ming's test project was announced.

All 500 sample subjects who participated in this test burst out laughing collectively.

Then came all kinds of ridicule.

"It's wishful thinking to want me to abandon my devout belief in the God of Light for mere delicious food!"

"Not bad! In front of our pious beliefs, what is food?"

"Don't talk about food, we just don't eat anything, we starve to death, and we don't want to sever our belief in God!"

"The blasphemer said that this test can be seen by all the people in the Yadude Kingdom, okay! I will show the highest devotion to the God of Light, let this blasphemer see, and let thousands of people see: Those who believe in the light will always be illuminated by the light, and those who do not believe in the light will surely fall into hell!"

"So, in order for everyone to see this belief, I, Raphael, swear to God: If I eat a bite of food from the blasphemer, I will betray the God of Light!"

"Even if I, Raphael, starve to death, I will never eat a morsel of food from a blasphemer!"

Among the crowd, an old man in white robe with white hair and handsome face spoke firmly.

"Okay! Elder Raphael said well!"

"Elder Raphael won't eat it, and neither will I!"

"I don't eat it either! I want blasphemers to see my piety, and I want thousands of people to witness the light of God!"

"Hahaha, blasphemer, I want to show you the power and greatness of faith in this test!"

There was a lot of applause, like Elder Rafael, who said that they would not take a bite, and that Zhou Ming's test purpose would completely fail and go bankrupt, about 40% of the people.

Among the tens of millions of viewers watching the live video broadcast, some showed sympathy and encouragement, while others showed deep concern.

For example, Zhou Ming's wife, Xiwenis, is very pessimistic about the test results.

"This test will definitely fail. Out of 500 people, the number of people who are willing to abandon their beliefs in order to enjoy delicious food will never exceed 5, or even none."

"Under the premise of ensuring everyone's food needs, it is...impossible to reverse other people's beliefs and betray the god they have believed in all their lives!"

"Not at all!"

Syvenes murmured.

Nabe, the guard standing beside her, nodded, agreeing with the Queen's point of view very much, and even said: "He actually doesn't need to take this test at all, and he will definitely be disappointed in the end result."

It can be said that in this test, almost no one is optimistic about Zhou Ming.

Even Zhou Ming himself was not particularly optimistic.

However, in order to see the hope that it might be caught, Zhou Ming tried his best, took out all his cooking skills, and cooked it himself.

Not bad!

During the one-month test period, Zhou Ming turned into a chef and cooked countless and dazzling delicious dishes in front of the live broadcast camera and hundreds of sample subjects.

I will not list them here one by one. Anyway, every dish is pleasing to the eye, eye-opening, and full of color, fragrance and taste.

Even the tens of millions of viewers in front of the screen, even through a layer of screens, watched the cooking process of the dishes in the screen, dumbfounded and drooling.

"I'm going to eat, I want to eat the dishes he made!"

Even the incomparably noble Queen Syvenes, who had tasted countless delicacies, left a trace of saliva at the corner of her mouth.

So what about the sample subjects who believed in the God of Light at the test site?
How are they doing?
With pious beliefs, can they resist the temptation of delicious food?
Is food more attractive than belief in God?
In the first seven days, Zhou Ming was indeed a little disappointed, because no matter how delicious the dishes he made these days, the sample subjects would salivate out of physiological reactions, but they all resisted the food. Temptation, did not give up persistence.

Even out of 500 people, 107 people starved to death one after another because they resolutely refused to eat the food provided by the blasphemers...and fell down one after another.

As for the less than 400 people who did not participate in the hunger strike or gave up the hunger strike due to extreme hunger, even if they ate rotten leftovers, hard bread mixed with gravel and leaves, vegetable soup made from sewage, and various Even though some of these foods are difficult to swallow and digest, some of them are ugly, can cause extreme discomfort in the digestive system, and even cause vomiting and diarrhea, in order to survive, they still gritted their teeth and persisted go down.

Looking not far away, Zhou Ming used all kinds of top ingredients to cook top-notch delicacies. The fragrance that penetrated their noses along the breeze also caused their spirits to shake from small to large.

Among them was a middle-aged man named Frederick, whose performance caught Zhou Ming's attention.

"Can not give up!"

"Never give up on Frederick!"

"In the face of God's faith, everything is vain, everything is nothingness!"

"The so-called delicious food does not exist, it is just a fake thing that passes through the stomach, and only the belief leading to the eternal kingdom of God is real!"

"But...but..."

Frederick sniffed desperately: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant! It's an irresistible fragrance!"

"I'm not greedy for money, I don't long for infinite power, I don't want to save sentient beings, I just taste all kinds of delicacies in my spare time."

"It's been seven days. I've eaten bad bread for seven days. I've never eaten something so bad. If I eat it again, I'll die! I'll definitely die!"

"I...I need to eat something delicious, I...I don't want to die yet!"

Yes, Frederick is a foodie. He has no other hobbies. The biggest hobby is eating!

Among the 500 sample subjects who participated in this test, most of them are "screened" foodies... usually like to eat.

Now, in the confrontation between food and faith, these "foodies" who are serious or light have to choose between food and faith.

It was a tough choice... Even though all testers thought the challenge would be easy at first, they will teach the Blasphemer a hard lesson!
However, on the seventh day of the test, someone's will became depressed, and his steps were uncontrollable, and he walked up to Zhou Ming who was cooking.

Looking at Frederick in front of him, Zhou Ming paused, smiled, and asked:
"Food, or God's belief?"
