This Stone Lord Really Can't Answer Prayers!

[Misinterpretation trope + playing dumb while mistaken for a big shot + leveling up]

Murderous intent lurks all around, and danger follows like a shadow.

When Lu Liangren opened his eyes once more, golden light surrounded him, incense smoke spiraled upward, and faith became a hymn.

Devout followers prostrated themselves before him.

Some trembled as they offered up ancient artifacts; others laid out their life savings before him. Their eyes gleamed with fervor and awe as they cried out:

“Great deity! Please bestow your blessings upon us!”

Upon this grand altar built on faith, Lu Liangren, bathed in golden light and worshipped with offerings of incense, could only wipe the sweat from his brow.

“This Stone Venerable hasn’t even maxed out his level yet. I really can’t answer your prayers!”
