Chapter 5 'Travel through to become the chosen people of good gods, and you can become infinitely stronger if you do good deeds'

In the early morning, the warm wind twists the white paper again and turns a new page:

"That night, I couldn't sleep. But luck favored me, and my guess was proved to be correct the next day.

"All the wounded recovered their health by sleeping!

"So. Just by one long night's rest, they were healed!

"Although it is unreasonable, it is not surprising in the game. Players choose a camp or hotel to rest, and the screen can see the recovery of health points when it goes dark and then light up.

"And just as I guessed before: some people think that the original injuries become irrelevant just after entering the temple. This is because under the mechanism of calculating damage by HP, as long as there is 1 HP left, it can be completely eliminated.

to act with impediment—

"All wounds cannot be an obstacle, they are just a reaction to a decrease in HP.

"Of course, HP reduction and injury are not completely equivalent in the game. Theoretically, the decrease in physical strength, the consumption of luck, the tilt of the situation and the confusion of footwork can also correspond to the reduction of HP in terms of gameplay.

“But it seems that the world in front of us still tends to be more intuitive.

"Maybe it's because [your heavy attack knocks out 90% of the enemy's HP - which means that although the enemy dodges the attack but consumes a lot of luck] it still sounds too weird.

“The world is changing: ‘rules of the game’ will dominate instead of common sense.

"I immediately thought, in addition to health points, turn-based restrictions, professional levels, will these original game elements be reflected in the real world? And in what form will they be reflected?

"I need further testing..."

The old carpenter John was almost desperate.

Originally, like everyone else in Windless Town, he kept to himself, obeyed the law, and was loyal to his profession.

As the dwarf's clockwork machinery and the cheap creations of the "Supernatural Craftsmanship" and "Stone Shaping" spells have gradually occupied the market of the Starry Sky Kingdom in recent years, the craftsmanship he was originally proud of has increasingly lost value.

He placed his hope on his only son, hoping that this boy who showed a small amount of magical talent would be spotted by a mage from a big city such as Hongbao, and be chosen as an apprentice, and he would embark on a path different from his own. But so far.

On this day last year, his only son was chosen as the victim and left him in the fire of the festival.

Last night, it was time for the town to complete the "ceremony" step by step. In order to complete this most important task for Fengxi Town, Old John's leg was injured and he was trapped in the fire scene. Facing the flames raging all around, he had already

My heart was filled with despair, and I even began to recall my humble life.

But in the end, he was rescued from the fire. When the fear caused by the flames disappeared for a short time, the pain on his body reminded Old John of a person in vain.

He thought of the young man in a certain temple that no one paid attention to on weekdays, and how he had received the favor of the gods a few days ago and used the [Repair Technique] to restore the broken carriage wheel to its original state.

"I remember, did the beautiful child from the Matru family receive divine enlightenment a few days ago? Maybe he can help us?"

For a moment, he felt like he saw a little hope.

And just after entering the temple, the old man saw the emerald moonlight and the emerald eyes of the handsome young man complement each other. Just a moment of contact with this priest of eternal light, a miracle happened!

The pain caused by the movement was relieved, the fatigue caused by lack of oxygen and injury was swept away, and abundant strength was poured into his legs. He was suddenly able to walk again after being unable to get off the ground.

Is this divine grace?

Old John knew nothing about magic and didn't understand what the priest of God could do, but he had no doubt that this blond boy with an exquisite face was the agent of God in the mortal world.

The next morning, the morning light poured into the temple.

When he woke up, he was surprised to find that his broken leg was completely healed, so he shed tears unconsciously.

Old John walked out of the temple excitedly. In the dawn light, he saw the young man being surrounded by a group of people - the priest of light's molten golden hair was like the gushing sun itself.

Chabron had never heard so many compliments.

In the past, the human touch in Fengxi Town was very indifferent. Although everyone attached great importance to etiquette, the excessive respect for self-restraint, courtesy and social distance made people's interactions always separated by a layer of glass.

But today, red tape is irrelevant.

An Luo—the silver-haired boy who was treated by him first, and also a stranger from other places—plucked an unnamed wild flower from somewhere, and shyly turned his red face to one side, while bulging.

Take the courage to raise your hand and give the flowers to Chabron.

After the first leader was appointed, more townspeople were no longer restrained and gave up respectful bowing to express their thanks, but instead chose more direct ways of expressing their emotions.

The boy was squeezed into the middle of the crowd, his uncle and aunt kissed him on the forehead, and Aunt Martha gave him a bear hug, forcing him to make a Reflex save to avoid taking d2 (1 to 2) bludgeoning damage.

[System prompt: Gain 400 experience points]

At this time, a strange prompt appeared unexpectedly. Chabron was a little surprised: In the game, in addition to fighting, completing tasks in different ways and completing role-playing will also gain experience points.

He is the priest of the eternal light, and the eternal light is also known as the mentor of the ages. With a great love that extends to the edge of the universe, he penetrates into the deepest depths of hell and has nothing to do with his own weakness and sympathizes with him. He never hesitates to treat others.

He helps people who are in dire straits and confusion. So it is only natural that he gain experience by doing good deeds.

But now that we have arrived in the real world, the system does not have any task prompts, but simply gives us task experience.

If it were really so simple that you could gain experience by helping others, then Chabron could probably write a light novel with the title "Become a Good God Priest in Time Travel, Do Good Deeds and Become Infinitely Strong".

However, combined with the experience points gained from killing the blocking dog before, the young man was absolutely sure of one thing after another:

He can improve his "ability" (or to put it more bluntly, level) in this world by increasing experience points - rather than repetitive exercises, prayers, reading, learning, and thinking.

It's ridiculous to learn divine magic by smashing a kobold's head with a mace, the blond boy thought with a shrug.

High-level barbarians will not suffer any fatal injuries even if they fall from the stratosphere (although it sounds very strange, high-level mages without any magic can also do this with blood volume), while agile monks and

The rogue relied on [Reflex Evasion] to survive the center of the Tunguska explosion.

Extraordinary power comparable to that of Hercules or King Arthur in mythology cannot be achieved through simple repetitive exercises.

For heroes who exist in a real world without the concept of levels and experience points, reaching such heights always requires incredible adventures or unimaginable talents - more often than not, both are needed.

A level 1 warrior is already an elite soldier. Even if an ordinary soldier trains hard for a lifetime, it is almost impossible to become a level 5 warrior.

However, for a player character who follows the rules of the game rather than the rationality of the world, upgrading is much simpler. Any complicated rituals, numerous exercises or experience summaries are unnecessary, the only thing required is one thing:

Gain experience points mechanically and repeatedly.

It is impossible for a real-life mage to "understand the secrets of arcane magic and learn new spells while sniping kobolds with a crossbow", but a "game player" can!

(Author's note: I think many people may have realized that the prototypes of the Eternal Light include but are not limited to: Yog-Sothoth, pangloss, Mythril, Ouroboros, etc.)
