Lu Yao placed his mouse over the [Offerings] slot.
It was a red creature, kept in a curled up position, looking like some kind of small animal that had only been born a short while ago.
[Garlic Tribe Baby: An Offering to the Gods.]
Lu Yao’s face twitched.
Sacrificing a living person …… is indeed in line with the primitive human habit of offering to the gods.
In the God Simulator, Lu Yao couldn t send a message to the Garlic Tribe through the temple, nor could he predict how the pixelated villain would react.
He moused over [Offerings] and pondered in his mind whether he could dismiss it.
A line appeared on the screen.
–Please would you like to accept the [Garlic Tribe Babies] offered by the believers?
— [Yes] [No]
Lu Yao decisively clicked No.
If there is somehow a baby in the house, then there is no place to talk about it, maybe the police uncle will be looking for him to drink tea.
What is even more frightening is that, in case the Garlic Tribe keeps sending up babies, there will be more and more babies in the house, and just the thought of the milk powder and nappies …… that need to be purchased has numbed the Lu Yao people.
Buddy is a god, not a baby health care provider for your tribe!
As Lu Yao negated the offerings, exclamation points rose above the heads of everyone in the entire Garlic Tribe.
“The gods aren’t satisfied, the gods don’t want babies!”
“I told you not to use babies, it should be adults who can plant and pick fruit for the gods!”
“No, no, no, we should use prey, the best prey, Lord God would love wild boars!”
“I think fish! Fish is the best, it’s slippery and won’t hurt anyone, the god-sama will love it!”
“Go find a new sacrifice, a new sacrifice!”
……
Seeing the dialogue between the pixelated little people, Lu Yao cried and laughed a little.
But if they were sending wild game, or river food, they could make a late night snack tonight. Although Lu Yao didn’t usually cook much, he still knew how to cook home-cooked food.
The entire Garlic Tribe, except for the five people left behind, all the others ran to the nearby forests, rivers and high mountain areas, they looked around, seemingly searching the map for something suitable to be used as an offering.
Lu Yao noticed that there was a pixelated little man who was not quite like the others.
This little man was one of the first seven believers, bare-chested and barefoot. He stood outside the temple and raised his head to look up at the sky, a question mark emerging on his head.
Lu Yao placed his mouse over the question mark, and a bubble box popped up over the villain’s head, containing many words that seemed to be his inner thoughts.
“What kind of sacrifices does the Lord God actually need? He doesn’t need babies. Maybe he doesn’t need manpower, he graced the tribe with magical garlic, the world where the god is surely doesn’t lack food.”
“The Forest Tribe desecrated the temple and was immediately punished by the Divine Lord’s heavenly divine punishment, the gods must have great powers that we can’t imagine, the things we need mean nothing to the gods. Then, there should only be those magical things that we can’t understand or use that the gods might accept.”
The question mark above the pixelated villain’s head turned into a light bulb that lit up.
As if he understood something, he trotted into the dense forest.
Lu Yao looked a little surprised.
This little man’s ability to think was clearly a cut above those around him, as if he had awakened his intelligence. Of all the people, he was also the only one who had a question mark appearing above his head.
Not long after, the question mark villain ran out of the forest again, and he ran into the temple with an item in his hands.
Lu Yao opened the Divine Hall interface.
There was an additional small icon in the [Offering] slot. It looked like a short-handled cane made from a polished tree branch with a simple appearance.
……
[Energetic Cane]: +1/hour of faith, 12/12 hours of energy (recharge rate 1/1 hour).
A treasure crafted by the God of the Forest that draws on the overflowing life force of nature, from which the holder is able to extract exuberant energy when touched. Lost after the fall of the Forest God.
……
–Would you like to accept the [Energy Cane] offered by a believer?
Lu Yao taps [Yes].
The cane icon in the [Offering] slot disappeared, and a short cane the length of a small arm appeared on the black keyboard of the computer desk.
Lu Yao’s palms were a little sweaty.
Although he had already vaguely expected that the [Gift] could be passed to the Pixel World through the Temple, then theoretically the [Offering] could also be passed from that one world.
However, when this scene actually became a reality in front of his eyes, he still involuntarily held his breath.
Lu Yao carefully picked up the cane.
It was not heavy, similar to the weight of normal wood.
The surface of this short cane was covered with tree lines, but it felt smooth and delicate, as if it was covered with a layer of transparent paint. At the top of the cane were two short branches, somewhat like a clothesline that had broken off. It was just that there were some small shoots growing on its branches, giving people a feeling that it still retained vitality.
Holding the [Energetic Cane] in his hand, Lu Yao only felt refreshed, and the soreness in his waist and back muscles disappeared without a trace. It was as if he had returned to the age of fourteen or fifteen, and after sleeping after an all-night game, he would be alive again.
The magic props of the pixel world also had a role to play in the real world!
Lu Yao looked towards the cane.
A line appeared on the [Energy Cane]: energy 12/12 hours, in use.
In other words, as long as one holds this cane, one theoretically doesn’t need to sleep. You would never doze off the next day whether at work or in class!
Lu Yao’s heart surged for a moment.
Nowadays, all-night gaming was already a luxury for him. Although Lu Yao was only twenty-three years old now, he could clearly feel the changes in his body.
He is far from his teenage years, a little late for an hour or two, not enough sleep the next day is always yawning and sleepy, no matter coffee or red bull is useless.
With the 【Energy Cane】, he could return to the peak period of his life when his energy was surging!
He took the cane and waved it excitedly for a while and calmed down.
No, the point is not this ……
Rather, it was the fact that [Sacrifice] could actually be brought out of the pixel game world.
There was no doubt that there were other magic props like [Energy Wand] in the pixel world. If they could be sent out from it through the temple source …… then this game was an endless treasure trove.
Lu Yao only felt refreshed.
With the Divine Temple’s ability to break the dimensional wall, it wouldn’t be long before he could get rid of his miserable and aggravated working life, walk up to the peak of his life, and become an ideal gaming otaku who would no longer be strangled by his livelihood!
He returned his attention to the game.
By this time, the Pixel Minions had all returned to the tribe in droves, smiley face symbols floating above their heads.
“The gods like sacrifices, great, great!”
“So Lord Divine likes that kind of sacrifice, I’ll definitely find a better one too!”
“I still think that the boar is the best, the gods will definitely like the boar, the boar is much more powerful than that tree branch!”
“Nonsense, fish is the best!”
“Wild boar!”
“Fish!”
Lu Yao noticed that the little man who insisted on wild boars and the little man who preferred fish were both from the Forest Tribe who had joined the Garlic Tribe. They were both wearing leather waistcoats.
The Forest Tribe should be mostly gathering and hunting, and it was understandable that they considered prey to be the best gift.
Lu Yao gazed back and forth between the little people, trying to find the little person who offered the [Energy Cane]. However, these little people looked exactly the same, with no names on their heads or any personal characteristics, making it difficult to recognise them.
In the end, Lu Yao still found someone in the temple.
In the temple stood a pixelated villain with bare shoulders and feet, and he still had a question mark above his head. The only thinker in the tribe was him.
A new message appeared on the screen.
–There is a believer who has sprouted wisdom, do we need to convert him into a prophet?
[Yes] [No]
