Chapter 3904: Fist-Clasping and 10 Words

Why does Benedict XVI hate Lin Feng?

In fact, this has something to do with the past history of the Pope. In the past, the Pope had great privileges. The appointment of kings in all Western European countries must be approved by the Pope. In all countries, the Pope's orders are greater than the king's orders, and the personnel appointments in many countries need to be approved by His Majesty the Pope. With the rise of the modern industrial revolution, the power of the church gradually declined, especially the "de-papalization" decrees of Western European countries, which made the churches of various countries no longer completely obey the orders of the Pope, and eventually made the church lose its power and only become the spiritual leader of Catholicism.

Although it still has great influence, it can no longer determine the fate of various countries as in the past. Today, with the rise of the Internet age, the influence of the church is weaker than before, and now there are people who believe in "Wind God". This is simply a big joke. How can a mere mortal call himself a god? There is only one God in the world, and that is Christ. How can anyone else be called a god?

As a strong conservative, Benedict XVI has always been extremely disdainful of Lin Feng's nickname "Wind God". It was just because of his identity and the fact that Lin Feng was not a Catholic believer that he could not make any accusations against him. After all, the other party did not believe in Catholicism at all. It was a bit out of reach for him, the Pope of the Catholic Church, to accuse Lin Feng. Therefore, although he had been resentful, he could only hide it in his heart.

At this moment, the secret visit of the heads of state of Japan and South Korea, and the conditions proposed, undoubtedly gave it the best opportunity to consolidate its position and re-expand the influence of the church. Of course, in addition to this. The heads of state of the two countries also agreed to donate to the church. Each country donated 100 million US dollars. As the original funds for the development of the church in the two countries.

So, after reaching an agreement, on the same day, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI publicly invited Lin Feng to visit the Vatican, claiming that he wanted to discuss with Lin Feng the value and significance of the existence of artificial intelligent life.

Lin Feng was extremely surprised by Pope Benedict XVI's sudden invitation. He had nothing to do with Catholicism and the Vatican. There was really no relationship between the two sides. As the Pope, shouldn't he be busy with all kinds of affairs? He had to deal with Catholic believers around the world, which was a lot of things in itself. And it also shows the glory of the church. It can be said that the Pope is very busy. But such a busy Pope came to invite an irrelevant person without faith, which was really surprising. But Lin Feng still agreed happily.

The reason is simple. The Pope invited him. If Lin Feng did not go, it would cause dissatisfaction among some Catholic believers. Although the influence of the church is far less than before, in the hearts of believers in the world, the Pope, as the representative of Christ in the world, still has a huge influence. He never sends out invitations easily. Now that he has been invited, it is naturally a bit unreasonable for him not to go. In the face of the upcoming smartphone marketing war, Lin Feng is unwilling to fall behind at this time.

Apple President Steve Jobs has officially met with Lin Feng. Apple will hold a new product launch conference on March 15 this year to announce Apple's latest products.

And it will be officially sold globally on a certain day in June. This is Jobs' declaration of war to Lin Feng. In the previous "MP3 player" battle, Lin Feng won first and then lost. He won sales, but lost the final copyright. The final result was a small defeat for Lin Feng.

However, after that, the "ultrabook" launched by Lin Feng caused a storm for "Apple" notebooks, and its sales were greatly affected. Therefore, in the notebook market, Lin Feng was considered to have made a comeback.

This new mobile phone battle will be the third battle between the two sides. For Lin Feng, a reborn person, he is very clear about how much advantage "Apple"'s system has, and how much profit its developed "" series has brought to "Apple". This will be a very powerful opponent. Therefore, Lin Feng will never be willing to put himself at a disadvantage before the two sides go to war.

"Boss, will there be any problem?" Lin Chiling asked worriedly.

"Haha, there will be no problem. The Vatican is in Italy, and I will be doubly protected by Italy. Moreover, even without the protection of Italy, the "wolf fang" I brought is enough to flatten the Vatican." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Boss, don't say this in front of Western Catholics. If you say "destroy the Vatican", you will get into big trouble. In front of the law, you can rely on Ron's lawyer team to get out, but in front of religion, the law has no effect. Fanatics will send you to the guillotine because of your disrespect for the Vatican. Believe me, Catholics will definitely go crazy because of your words." Natalie Portman reminded speechlessly.

"Yes, boss, this is the East, and people are not pious enough to Catholicism, but in the West, everyone believes in Catholicism and believes in Christ. Your words are too disrespectful!" Melissa also shook her head repeatedly.

Lin Feng's words really made the two Catholics feel a little uncomfortable. You said you wanted to be angry with Lin Feng, that's not appropriate. If you say you didn't hear it, it's really awkward.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, I'm wrong this time, I will never say no again when I go to the West." Lin Feng raised his hands in surrender, "But what if the Pope makes trouble for me?"

Natalie and Melissa rolled their eyes. As the agent of Christ on earth, how could the Pope go to trouble Lin Feng for no reason? This is too exaggerated. That's the Pope. Those who can become the Pope are all people with great wisdom and magnanimity. Ordinary people can't become the Pope.

Lin Feng didn't explain it anymore. Anyway, it feels that this time it won't be too peaceful. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, if you show kindness without any reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. This Pope went to me for no reason, so there must be something wrong.

But it's useless to say more. Just fly there first. 16 hours later, Lin Feng arrived in Rome, and then drove all the way to the Vatican. When Lin Feng arrived at the Vatican, he found that it was already crowded with believers, and the Roman police had imposed martial law in the vicinity.

What's going on? Lin Feng frowned. Why are there so many believers? But since we are here, we should make the best of it. Lin Feng and his party got off the car and entered the Vatican under the escort of the Vatican Pope's Guard. They came to St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. At this moment, the world-famous St. Peter's Square was full of devout believers sitting there and praying devoutly. In front of the famous St. Peter's Basilica, a white-haired but vigorous old man stood there to greet Lin Feng.

"Greetings to His Holiness the Pope!" Natalie and Melissa rushed forward to salute.

Benedict XVI smiled in return and sprinkled some water on the two of them with his hands, "May God bless you!"

Lin Feng curled his lips. It seems that this water should be the so-called holy water. But to be honest, from Lin Feng's point of view, this water is no different from ordinary tap water. If you really want to compare, it's just like the jade and other things enshrined in those temples. If you believe it, it's there, if you don't believe it, it's not there.

"Your Holiness, I'm polite." Lin Feng stepped forward, smiled slightly, and saluted with his fists.

Benedict XVI's face twitched. Anyone who saw him would perform the Christian salute, making the sign of the cross with their right hand on their chest, but Lin Feng, however, clasped his fists. Although Benedict XVI knew that this was a ritual from ancient China, this was the Vatican, not ancient China. It was too rude of you to do this, and you didn't take him, the Pope, seriously. Of course, as the Pope, you must be magnanimous and have a compassionate heart that tolerates everything. Although Benedict XVI's impression of Lin Feng was a little worse, he still smiled kindly.

"May God bless you, child!" Benedict XVI sprinkled holy water on Lin Feng.

Instinctively, Lin Feng wanted to avoid it. This holy water may be very sacred and noble in your Western world, but in my eyes, it is like the water in the faucet, and it is not precious at all. But when Lin Feng was about to move, Lin Chiling stepped forward and stuck close to Lin Feng, whispering in his ear, "Boss, there are so many believers here. If you want to avoid the Pope's blessing of holy water, I'm afraid you will be besieged by these believers!"

Lin Chiling has been with Lin Feng for the longest time, and she knows Lin Feng's little actions and habits very well. As soon as she saw Lin Feng doing this, she knew that he was going to be in trouble, so she quickly stopped him. Otherwise, if Lin Feng really avoided the Pope's blessing, it would be a lot of fun.

Lin Feng pouted and accepted the Pope's blessing helplessly.

"Your Holiness, I wonder why you invited me here this time? You are very busy, and I am also busy!" Lin Feng was too lazy to greet him. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be so many believers here. Generally speaking, except for the New Year and a few key days of Catholicism, there are more tourists here, not believers making pilgrimages here. But today there are tourists coming and going here, which is abnormal.

"Mr. Lin, I came here mainly to discuss with you the 'Nuwa' artificial intelligence life you developed, and the meaning of life. And these believers are here, hoping that everyone can discuss the meaning of life together. Mr. Lin, please sit down!" Benedict XVI pointed to the two chairs placed on the high platform in front of St. Peter's Basilica. Obviously, one of them belongs to Lin Feng, and the other one belongs to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.

Discuss the meaning of life? Lin Feng curled his lips, this is really boring. But since he is here, it is probably unlikely to leave like this. And Lin Feng also wants to know what Benedict XVI wants to do! He unexpectedly invited him here, what on earth does he want to do! (To be continued)
