“Today, I’m treating everyone to hot pot.”
Lu Yao said to the two apostles.
Everything has been going well lately.
Isabel captured the wishing spirit Baroye and was able to explore the hidden secrets of the [Spirit World] crossbelt, and then found the [Blast Furnace World].
She also earned Lu Yao an honorarium of $3,000.
This money is clean and innocent, so take it and use it with peace of mind.
Nevid, on the other hand, single-handedly killed into the all-unknown [Blast Furnace World], fought bloody battles inside for seven years, and brought back the [Fire Box] and [Dwarf Fortress]. In several years of intense life and death battles, the Blood Knight’s combat power has also stepped into a new peak.
These are all happy events.
A few happy events added together, that must be celebrated more or less.
So Lu Yao specially went to the food market and bought hot pot base and fat beef, tripe, meatballs, shrimp dumplings, tofu …… and other ingredients.
The rest was left to Little Fire.
Forty minutes later, a steaming hot pot filled with a variety of delicacies came out of the oven.
Lu Yao moved the table from the living room in, barely able to fit between the cabinet and the bed.
So Lu Yao, Isabel, and Nevid took their seats.
“Everyone has been working hard lately.” Lu Yao lifted his chopsticks, “All eat more.”
Isabel said, “Yes, my lord.”
She removes her sunglasses and is about to capture the food in the fondue pot, fork in hand – she’s not quite good with chopsticks yet.
As a result, green eyeballs rolled down from their sockets all of a sudden, one rolled off the table in front of Lu Yao, while the other rolled onto the floor.
Lu Yao was already not surprised, he picked up the eyeball in front of himself, huffed and puffed, wiped it with toilet paper and returned it to the other party.
“I’m very sorry, my lord. The eye is still not very stable.”
Isabel reinstalled the eye in its socket. To hold it in place, she secured the eye cross with clear glue to make sure it wouldn’t fall out again.
Lu Yao, on the other hand, looked towards the Blood Knight, who was sitting motionless in his chair, and raised his chopsticks to indicate, “You eat too.”
Nevid said stoically, “As ordered.”
He grabbed the fork next to him and plunged one into a grilled sausage, then padded over to his helmet and lifted the overlaying armour, which was pitch black inside. The grilled sausage was dropped into the armour with a clunking and jumping sound.
Lu Yao wasn’t sure if the Blood Knight could digest this kind of food thrown into the armour.
It didn’t matter, the food was a sensation anyway.
Lu Yao swallowed a slice of fatty beef and asked Isabelle, “Does crossbanding weaken you?”
At the time, he was fully focused on the internal situation of the Crossbelt, so he didn’t notice the impact of that overlapping space on the Apostle.
“My lord, no.”
Isabel rolled up a roll of bubblegum with her fork and ate it slowly.
As she had said to Song Shiyi, she enjoyed this modern fast food.
Lu Yao nodded.
In this way, the crossbelt formed by the overlapping of the worlds themselves had some of the commonalities of the two worlds, and was considered a compatibility zone.
Only when an alien individual actually enters the interior of the world do the rules act and react to it.
That’s the way it looks at the moment.
On top of the rules nerf, it’s more obvious that it’s not easy for a Blood Knight to go solo in the Blast World.
Lu Yaoben further asked Nevid about the various situations in the Blast Furnace World.
It was a miniature shattered world that had never been touched before, making him more or less curious.
However, the Blood Knight flipped around and just talked about the enemies he had encountered, fire elemental creatures of various abilities, imperial elephants, cloud giants, dwarven fortresses ……
In his eyes, the world focuses on the battle.
To other things, the Blood Knight automatically ignored and paid no attention at all.
Lu Yao was a bit helpless.
Blood Knights were extremely focused and sharp in terms of combat, and were all over the place in other aspects.
Lu Yao looked at his mobile phone.
It had the countdown he had set on it, and it was perfectly synchronised with the simulator.
[Update countdown: 00:29:53]
In the last half hour, the New Era version of Pixel World will open.
After he had his fill of wine and food, Lu Yao went downstairs for a short walk, then pinched his watch and went upstairs to go home.
The house had been cleaned up, and even the smell of hot pot had been dispersed.
Isabel was making the sheets and arranging the quilt.
Nevid, on the other hand, is crumpling the various cardboard, plastic, and delivery boxes that take up space into brick shapes with his strength and stacking them neatly in a rubbish bag by the door.
Everyone was self-conscious.
Lu Yao sat down in front of the computer and couldn’t wait to open the simulator.
The gods made their appearance!
……
A line of captions floated on the screen.
[Era update complete.]
[The power of rules has further repaired and improved this world.]
[The Eclipsing Sun is projected onto this world, it will change thousands of lives and return the world to chaos and disorder.]
[The Dragon of the Eclipsing Sun has descended, it is an invader birthed by the Eclipsing Sun, and will take it upon itself to conquer the entire world.]
[Gargoyles roar through the ice and snow, the land of extreme cold is their inviolable territory.]
[The elves whisper to the trees, the symbiotic grove where they constantly summon their companions for ancient rituals.]
[Humans living in different places gather to cope with the Eclipsing Sun, and human settlements increase.]
[The number of monsters has increased dramatically under the light of the Eclipsing Sun.]
[A new era has officially begun, the flow of time has been revised, this will be your opportunity to ascend to the long rank of God.]
……
That last sentence, the picture’s gone, hasn’t it?
Lu Yao stroked his chin.
The simulator had always managed to push players to enter the Temple of the Gods, another faith consumption discount out of the spectacle, another half-sale, and now a direct express denizenship of the God Long Rank.
Lu Yao pretended not to see it and returned his attention to the pixel world itself.
This time, the world version was a major update.
There are quite a few elements of eclipses, dragons, trolls, and sprites …….
The loudspeaker once again sounded the melodious 8-bit electronic music, and the colour finally returned to the computer screen, and the familiar pixelated world once again unfolded in front of Lu Yao.
He looked at Yao Cheng first.
It was the centre of faith and culture, and even more so, it had Sarina sitting on it.
Whether the world is in chaos or not, the tyrant says so.
After tapping on the shrine, Lu Yao found that Sarina was unchanged. She stood in front of the idol, maintaining the stance she had before Lu Yao was ejected.
Time was suspended during the world update?
Lu Yao typed above her head.
–How is the situation.
An exclamation mark flashes above Sarina’s head.
She immediately knelt on one knee, “Lord Yao Shen, I welcome your return.”
After that, she replied, “In the thirty years so far, the Flame of Faith has not been affected in any way, only that there have been some minor conflicts between mortals.”
“Yao City is running smoothly, Saniro is doing well, and the main problem is in Salt City.”
Lu Yao did the maths.
This version update took 72 hours, exactly 30 years, 1 day in the real world is really equivalent to 10 years in the pixel world.
He took a look at the top right corner.
Population: 56,508
Faith: 42,826
Nice guy.
World Renewal’s population has nearly doubled in the last thirty years to 50,000,000, and faith has risen in abundance.
With so many favours, it made Lu Yao feel a little unreal.
Sarina reported, “After the Eclipsing Sun descends, both humans and animals may best*alise into monsters under its irradiation.”
“These best*alised monsters are now increasing in number and are having an impact on the cities. The Temple Society of Yao City, Commander Salt Gale of Salt City, and Commander Yaris of Saniro are all conducting regular purges of the neighbourhood.”
“The number of monsters in the wild has become larger, leaving hunters and explorers dead or injured.”
“The source of all the problems, though, is still the second sun, the Ember Sun.”
Sarina said that the one who knew the effects of the Eclipsing Sun best was Phyllus.
“Since your temporary absence, Fellows has been worried about Ecliptic Sun and the mortals. He runs around and has been making observations and notes on Ecliptic Sun for years.”
“I have also placed mirrors in many parts of this world and have travelled to two new continents to make some knowledge, but not in as much detail as Fellows.”
Sarina concluded, “He is a dedicated apostle, you will surely get more informative and detailed information if you summon it.”
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
Phyllus, who was more marginalised among the Apostles, had actually become the main force of the New Era’s map scouting.
Lu Yao clicked on the Skeleton Man’s avatar.
The screen shifted to a beach in the southwest of the Western Continent.
Phyllus was manoeuvring the Skeleton King Armadillo, blocking the dense swarm of man-eating crabs. Behind its wide white bone carapace, a group of small people were fleeing for their lives.
Lu Yao immediately sent the Blood Knight into the Pixel World.
The Blood Knight on a white horse quickly sped over from Saniro.
As soon as Fellows saw the Blood Knight, an exclamation mark popped up above his head, “Mr Nevid!”
“Lord Divine!”
The Skeleton Man immediately extracted itself from the skeletal creature as it dropped to one knee and saluted in the direction of the screen.
The mountainous swarm of monsters behind it was broken through the formation by the Blood Knight alone, killing crab shells and legs all over the place.
The crab swarm quickly realised that this knight had a problem, and immediately adjusted the direction of attack, flying towards the sea ……
