Lu Yao leaned on his chair, crossed his legs and drank a Coke with ice, overlooking the pixel world on the computer screen.
From the Yanchi tribe in the mountains to the west to the Donghe tribe in the eastern river, to the most dangerous depths of the forest in the north, and to the ghost town of Sanilo in the south, his reputation is known to everyone.
He is also a well-known local god.
After mastering Sanilo, Lu Yao suddenly changed his weapon from gun to gun, and the number of religious believers increased explosively.
He is already thinking about his next opponent.
Should we annex the Donghe tribe first?
Or directly impose sustainable lightning and earthquake sanctions on the Yanchi tribe?
He touched his chin.
While I was thinking, a new prompt appeared on the screen.
【Population is the body, faith is the power.】
[You already have a considerable number of believers and have gained a lot of faith in this area. Your power is spread all around, and your miracles are further demonstrated. 】
[Please build your own wonder, this will be your step away from the apprentice gods and into the pantheon of gods.]
Spectacle?
This word is not unfamiliar to Lu Yao.
Isabel also said this when she subdued Lisa.
"I also ascended to the crawl zone, and a bastard ruined the spectacle, so I lowered myself back to the safe zone."
In other words, the place you are in now is called the safe zone. After building the wonder, you can enter the next stage and advance to the so-called crawling zone.
Just like the prompt describes, break away from the apprentice god.
Lu Yao clicked on the temple and made a new discovery in the [Miracle] column.
There is a new wonder available [Wonder].
The new miracle icon is a vague building, and [Wonder] requires 5,000 Faith.
Like [Lightning] and [Earthquake], there is no detailed description behind [Wonder].
Lu Yao thought, no wonder Lisa was so anxious.
5,000 Faith is a large expense. If it is developed step by step, a tribe of at least a thousand people would have to have this reserve. Considering that there are also some emergencies and harsh environments that need to be dealt with, it will take a lot of time to accumulate it.
Lisa didn't have the patience, so she went around robbing the gods of players' faith just to create a spectacle and return to the crawling area.
Now Lu Yao needs to consider whether to activate [Wonder] directly?
After thinking for a while, he made a decision.
【Wonder】Slow down.
Currently, I am in the God's Safe Zone, which should be a place similar to the Novice Village, so it is relatively safe. But once [Wonder] is turned on, like Lisa, I may face a war with other God players, and I may feel stressed at that time.
huge.
Players who have played old games know that before leaving the novice village, they must level up and fight monsters as much as possible and loot all the equipment in the novice village.
Stability is Lu Yao's game style.
Before you are sure, I will never leave Novice Village!
Decided!
The first goal is to dominate the nearby safe zone!
After making the key decision, Lu Yao felt relaxed.
"Low heat. Make me a bowl of noodles. I want two cloves of garlic and a fried egg."
"Yes, sir."
The cactus got up from the potted plant, shook the mud off its thorns, jumped off the table, and went outside to cook some noodles.
Lu Yao stood up and stretched.
Suddenly there was a cry of surprise from outside.
"Damn it! The cactus has become a spirit! What the hell is going on!"
Lu Yaoxin said something bad. He opened the door and saw a young man with a flat head and heavy dark circles standing at the door. The cigarette in the young man's mouth was stuck to his lower lip, and his eyes were looking at the ground in shock.
On the floor, the cactus attendant had changed back to its cactus appearance, motionless.
"Why are you here? Lao Zhou."
Lu Yao smiled and said hello.
"No, Lu Yao, that cactus on the ground used to have arms and legs, but it became a spirit! Damn, that's ridiculous!" Zhou Qiang still stared at the cactus on the ground.
"You must be dazzled. This one rolled out of the flower pot in my house." Lu Yao picked up the small fire on the ground and handed it to the other party: "If you don't believe it, look at it. It's just an ordinary cactus."
Zhou Qiang carefully observed the cactus, then touched it with his fingers, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I clearly saw that this thing has arms and legs, like a matchstick... Maybe I've been too tired recently."
Zhou Qiang rubbed his face with both hands.
"By the way, why did you come here tonight?" Lu Yao changed the subject: "And didn't I lock the door? How did you get in?"
"Is it locked? No."
Zhou Qiang and Lu Yao checked the door and found that there was something wrong with the lock core of this old-fashioned anti-theft door. Regardless of whether it was locked or not, the lock inside would not pop out. It was just for decoration.
"These problems are troublesome in old houses. I will report to the landlord later, but I guess no one will repair them. Let's make do with it."
Zhou Qiang smoked his cigarette and said, "I'm here to see you today."
"My online store really can't be opened anymore, so I've closed it."
Lu Yao was stunned: "You have opened it since college, and the five-year-old store has been closed like this? What a pity."
"It's getting harder and harder to run a small business."
Zhou Qiang gave a wry smile and pointed to his forehead: "Did you see it? My hairline is moving up more and more, and I'm losing a lot of hair every day."
"When I was in college, my brother, I was Ouri Shun, an employee, but now I have become Pan Changjiang, an online store owner."
Lu Yao could also tell from Zhou Qiang's dark circles under his eyes and haggard appearance that he was indeed under a lot of pressure now.
When he just graduated, Zhou Qiang was still very proud of himself. During the dinner party, he was still thinking about becoming bigger and stronger and creating brilliance... Now he has been beaten by life and is black and thin. He always smokes and frowns.
"I'm going to close the store and work as a temporary worker in the community."
Zhou Qiang smoked his cigarette and said with a smile: "Two thousand eight hundred a month, less money but not so much pressure. I am going to take a rest first and then think about the next step."
"Brother, I am moving here today, but I am not alone."
Zhou Qiang shouted out: "Come up, why are you hiding?"
A woman then walked in from the door.
She looks to be in her early twenties, has delicate features, and is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black straight pants. The woman's hair is tied back casually, and her eyes are a little wandering, as if she is thinking about something, or a little absent-minded.
Lu Yao noticed that her shoulders and waist were in good shape, with almost no fat and signs of exercise.
"My girlfriend is Yu Yao." Zhou Qiang introduced the two of them: "This is my college roommate, Lu Yao."
Lu Yao smiled politely and nodded. Yu Yao was a little restrained, so she also nodded.
"We will live here for about a month at most." Zhou Qiang explained: "We will move when we find a suitable house."
Lu Yao nodded.
He also felt a little relieved.
If you don't move, my brothers will have to move.
Because of the existence of the simulator, it is really inappropriate to have other people in this house.
Now that Zhou Qiang and Yu Yao have moved next door, he must be more cautious and not let Xiao Huo be exposed to them.
…
That night, Lu Yao kept hearing someone humming next door. At first, he thought it was a night interaction between young lovers, but the sound became more and more strange.
Is someone...humming?
But whether the sound came from next door or upstairs, Lu Yao couldn't be sure.
In the middle of the night, he was awakened again by the sound of chopping vegetables.
Who is the serious person cooking in the kitchen in the middle of the night?
