After a day's work, Lu Yao dragged his tired body back to the rental house.
In a small company with about ten people, more than half are related people who are dawdling around. After excluding the boss and partners, there are only three people who really do the work. It has only been three months since Lu Yao joined the company, and Lu Yao is already living like a year.
However, he did not dare to resign until he found his next job. Now that the economy is in recession, he has to survive first and then consider the next step in his life.
At this time every day, Lu Yao would have some room to relax. He would change his mood and temporarily forget about all the unpleasantness during the day.
It's game time!
He turned on his old computer and moved the mouse slowly on the screen.
Let me see which one to play today.
Get ranked?
A knife?
Or Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9?
…
An inconspicuous icon caught Lu Yao's attention.
The icon is in the lower right corner of the screen. The logo is a green pixel-style island that blends into the green grassland of the computer background image, making it very inconspicuous.
"God Simulator"?
what game is this?
Lu Yao didn’t remember downloading or purchasing it at all.
He clicked on the file properties to view. The source file was 20M, which was a small game. With this size, it seemed that it should be a game from a long time ago.
Lu Yao's computer configuration is low. He has been using this machine since he was in college and is reluctant to replace it. He has to turn on the lowest image quality to play LoL and Dota. For major games, he can only rely on cloud play and watching other people's game videos. Most of them
At that time, Lu Yao was playing various classic and old games.
He tried to open "God Simulator".
The screen slowly fades to black.
Accompanied by melodious old-fashioned 8-bit electronic music, white Chinese characters are displayed one by one on the black screen, in a very classic pixel game style.
【On this day, the world finally welcomes back the great god.】
[Your arrival has given the world its meaning again. Your power will create a new civilization.]
Then the black screen gradually disappeared, replaced by a group of villains building various buildings, some villains cultivating farmland, and others cheering with their arms raised high. The pixel-style picture looked fresh and nostalgic, and it made Lu Lu feel happy to see it.
Yao relaxed for a while.
Three white options appear on the background.
【new game】
【Continue the game】
【quit】
Lu Yao clicked [New Game].
The screen returned to pitch black again, with uniform patches of green pixels appearing on it, like patches of paint smeared on a blackboard.
[World capture in progress...]
After about five seconds, green pixels filled the screen.
[World positioning completed, welcome, great god.]
The pixel background changes again.
A flat green land appeared on the screen, surrounded by forests, rivers, mountains and deserts. There was a white domed building like a temple in the center of the screen.
A line of text appeared in the center: This is your temple, you name it ___ Temple.
Lu Yao thought for a moment and typed it casually.
Temple of Yao.
The words "Yao Temple" appeared in the sky above the temple.
Then the scene fell into a strange still state.
Lu Yao clicked on the temple, but there were no options.
What's happening here?
Which company made this old game without even a basic tutorial or guide?
Just when he was confused, two barefooted little men with bare upper bodies appeared in the corner of the screen. The two little men moved over and walked around the temple.
An exclamation point popped up on one of the villain's heads, and then another dialog box popped up on his head.
"What an exquisite and magnificent house, it must have been made by God."
Another little man raised his hands.
"God, God!"
"This must be a revelation from the gods. This is a lucky place. We want more people to settle here!"
"The land promised by God! The land promised by God!"
Smiley face symbols appeared above the heads of the two villains. They ran all the way out of the screen, and within a few seconds, they came here with five more villains.
A total of seven villains began to worship around the temple. They built a small thatched house next to the temple, transplanted some berry-like bushes from outside the screen, and began to live next to the temple.
At this time, a prompt appears on the screen.
[You have obtained the first batch of believers in this world. The power of faith is your means of showing miracles. Please collect more faith. 】
Lu Yao noticed that there was a small human avatar in the upper right corner, showing population, and a palace icon next to it, showing faith. The population and faith values were both 7.
It seems that 1 believer will provide 1 point of faith value.
He clicked on the population with the mouse, but nothing happened. He clicked on Faith again, and this time an icon that looked like a cloud of fog appeared.
【Miracle】
There is a row of options below, each with a corresponding sketch. All miracles are gray, indicating that none of them are currently available.
Every miracle you cast requires faith points. Even [Rainfall], which requires the least faith points, also requires 10 faith points.
In other words, 10 believers are needed to perform a miracle.
Increasing population became the primary issue.
Unlike other simulation management games, God Simulator cannot directly build houses or produce residents. It can only wait for the pixel villains to reproduce or gather on their own. Currently, the only option that can be operated is [Miracle].
Lu Yao watched the little pixel people farming around, his mouse kept groping on the screen, and his stomach began to growl.
He went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles and came back with a few cloves of garlic.
When he returned to the computer, Lu Yao noticed that the little people around the temple showed an abnormal state. Sad expressions appeared on their heads, and they all gathered around the temple to worship.
Dialog boxes above the little people's heads kept popping up.
"Great God, please show me your spirit!"
"Please bless us! Great God!"
"The forest tribe thinks that what we believe in is the devil and wants to tear down the temple. Please show a miracle!"
Lu Yao took a bite of noodles and thought to himself, this seems to be the first crisis.
However, the current faith value is only 7 points, it cannot even rain, and the miracle column is not yet available.
Lu Yao continued to explore, and finally clicked the mouse on the temple to create a new interface.
In the center of the picture is a stone bonfire, and in front of the bonfire is a gray humanoid statue in a sitting position. The figure's face is blurred, and no man or woman can be seen. It seems to be the image of a god imagined by a pixelated figure.
There is a long table in front of the statue, with two placement slots of different shapes on the table.
The large placement slot on the left is labeled [Sacrifice].
The smaller one on the right says [Gift].
Currently these placement slots are empty.
Sacrifice is easy to understand, it is naturally something that these believers offer to the gods.
According to the corresponding relationship, the gifts should be the powers or props given by the temple to these believers.
Is this the miracle they want?
Lu Yao searched around but couldn't find any movable and towable items. He was a little confused for a while, and then he got stuck on the first question.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange.
The long table in front of the statue looks familiar.
wrong……
Why is that desk exactly the same as my computer desk?
There are two placement slots, the shape of the sacrifice slot is completely the rectangular shape of the keyboard, the gift slot is oval, the mouse?
If you take a closer look, the statue of the enshrined god appears to be sitting at a long table. Isn't it me who is playing on the computer?
This idea shocked Lu Yao.
impossible……
This must be a coincidence.
Then, a bold idea came to mind.
He carefully placed the garlic clove next to the instant noodles on the mouse.
Lu Yao looked at the mouse expectantly.
Two seconds later, the garlic clove rolled off the mouse.
"It's really a coincidence."
Lu Yao laughed at himself, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
At this moment, the falling garlic cloves suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Lu Yao subconsciously looked at the computer screen.
There is an additional pixel icon of garlic in the [Gift] slot of the temple.
【Garlic】: A gift from the gods, a special spice and a medicinal herb.
A line of text appears on the screen.
——Do you want to give [garlic] to your believers?
【whether】
Lu Yao's hand holding the mouse shook.
