In the small room, a middle-aged man with a shaved head spoke in a low voice.
“Ever since I was a child, I hated people who didn’t follow the rules the most.”
“When I used to see a fellow student cheating on exams and copying homework, I was the first to report it!”
“I am very respectful of rules, and I always keep the Special Management Regulations made by the committee on my bedside.
Everything must be done in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, to produce and operate, this is my personal code.”
Prosecutor Song Shiyi, who was sitting on the opposite side of the table, had an odd expression on her face.
“Then, Jia Xiaokai, why are you here?”
“It was an injustice! It’s a misunderstanding, a frame-up ……”
Song Shiyi interrupted him, “Let’s get down to business first.”
“We all know that individuals of lower realm dimensions can’t do it on their own to break through the realm dimension limitations. There must be players to cooperate.”
“You said that you didn’t manipulate it remotely through means, how did that Donghai clan called Yu Yao enter the real world? That’s the tribe you control.”
“I have no idea.”
Jia Xiaokai spread his hands, “You guys can’t wrongly accuse a good person, right? While it’s true that I’ve made some minor mistakes ……, I’ve been serving incarceration for the past two years and haven’t committed any violations.”
“Jia Xiaokai, organising a low boundary dimension group to cross the border for prostitution, you are the first case.”
Song Shiyi’s gaze sharpened, “Using Low Boundary Dimension believers and ordinary people to breed mutant species, although you’re not the first one, it’s the one with the highest number of offences ever.”
“Do you believe yourself when you say you respect the rules?”
Middle-aged Jia Xiaokai stroked his hair, and instead of being embarrassed, a smile appeared on his face, “Prosecutor Song, let’s not mention the past. After you guys arrested me, I’ve been honestly here, peacefully operating my faith in the Creeping Zone, all of this is traceable in the Hall of Gods ah.”
“Right, it must be those props in my house, it’s the East Sea Clan that used the props to cross over. It must be, it’s the only possibility.”
Song Shiyi said with a slate, “I hope you can co-operate with the committee’s investigation and explain the truth. Otherwise, once we get to the bottom of it, it will be a combination of several offences and the imprisonment period will be further extended. I hope you will behave yourself.”
After the young female prosecutor left, the not-so-large hut returned to darkness, with only the computer on the table flickering with ghostly light.
Jia Xiaokai’s face was gloomy.
The bottom card hadn’t been leaked, and sooner or later, he himself would be able to soar into the sky.
“When I enter the Flying Leap Zone, what’s the committee worth? Just a bunch of bullying losers.”
“Song Shiyi, aren’t you from a girl’s group? When the time comes, I’m going to make you put on a onesie in front of me and sing ‘Hubby Hubby I Love You’ while square dancing!”
……
Lu Yao opened the takeaway box, took out the ginger duck noodles inside, and slowly ate it with sliced pickled radish and sour plum soup.
After Zhou Qiang moved out, the place was back to its usual calm.
He was also finally able to give his full attention and return to the simulator.
Isabelle rightfully returned to Pixel World.
She was the most important strategic weapon under Lu Yao. It could be said that the root of the Garlic Tribe’s development being able to take off all of a sudden was Isabelle’s superb personal abilities.
Normally speaking, for a tribe to continuously develop its civilisation and expand its population, that required enough patience and constant attention and care.
The progress of civilisation needed to be accumulated over a long period of time in order to show a spiral.
Lu Yao had a vague feeling that the Divine players in the safe zone could not hold an Apostle under normal circumstances.
There was simply no relevant option in the Miracle List, and Isabelle was more like a legacy that Lu Yao had inherited from the God of the Forest.
He estimated. To independently mould an Apostle, one might have to step out of the Safe Zone, build Wonders, and enter the Creeping Zone to have the appropriate options.
Lu Yao looked to the upper right corner.
Population: 11, 371 Faith: 11, 094
With the advancement of Ghost City Saniro, these numbers were growing further.
Compared to the reproduction of the living, it was much easier to find the ghosts left behind by the dead for a short period of time.
With a strong push from Mayor Chapman, Commander Yaris took his soldiers and found one wandering ghost after another on the seashore. Most of them are willing to join Sanilo for divine sanctuary.
Sanilo’s efforts to absorb the ghosts had pushed further into the desert.
Due to Isabelle’s killing spree in the middle of the desert, slaughtering the sandworms so much that they didn’t dare to show their faces, the threat level over there had been greatly reduced now.
Continuously killing groups of Sandworms, Isabelle’s [Forest Sword] trait was also triggered. Two more [Spotted Lynx] were created, and they also ran into the forest, acting as the invisible guardians of the Garlic Tribe.
The beauty of it all was that the huge Saniro City had no decent offerings.
Mayor Chapman had told why.
All of the city’s precious treasures were offered to the forest god, and with the god’s fall, these had gone missing. Later, the God of Prayer had also discovered that there were no offerings here, and with the fact that Saniro City refused to give in so easily, it provoked the Totem Curse to punish it.
Lu Yao had asked Isabel, “You were once an Apostle of the Forest God, why is it that the people of Saniro City are completely unaware of you?”
“My lord, apostles walk outside for long periods of time, most of them don’t station themselves, and the knowledge of the believers is quite limited.”
Associating this with the fact that Little Fire, a temple servant, didn’t know Isabel either, it seemed to make sense.
Lu Yao didn’t look into it any further.
Just as Lu Yao was paying close attention to Saniro’s situation, something happened on the Garlic Tribe’s side.
Some [Cave Monsters] had suddenly appeared in the mountains to the west that had been shattered by the earthquake.
In order to delay the Garlic Tribe’s call for manpower, the two Heroic Headhunters and Fishwalkers led five hunters to lure the Cave Monsters to another direction. However, because the enemy was outnumbered, the Hero Headhunters and four hunters were killed in battle, and only the injured Fishwalker survived.
The news came so suddenly that Lu Yao was caught a bit off guard, followed by anger.
I didn’t pay any attention to the situation on the other side of the mountain, but you’ve got your noses up my arse instead, haven’t you?
–Isabelle, kill those cave monsters to accompany the headhunter.
After receiving the order, the apostle rushed to the mountain.
Soon, Isabelle’s head showed [Battle in progress].
Lu Yao clicked to enter the battle screen.
In the battle scene, the Cave Monsters were humanoid creatures that were topless and wore stone masks on their heads, they held stone spears, had thick hair all over their bodies, and had a total of five of them ranging in rank from LV1 to LV5.
Encountering monsters of this scale, it was indeed difficult for heroes who were not currently equipped with soldiers to fight against them.
Lu Yao glanced at the highest ranked Cave Monster panel.
……
[Cave Monster LV5
Life Value: 102/102
Mana: 22/22
Damage: 6
Defence: 4
Speed: 4
[Strong Lv2
Higher than normal life value, able to maintain a strong fighting spirit for a longer period of time.
……
To Isabelle, even more cave monsters were just bugs. They desperately charged, but they simply couldn’t break through Isabelle’s defence, and the flying stone spears were all Miss.
Isabelle killed coldly all the way, and after consecutively killing two groups of cave monsters, she finally found the base camp of these monsters. Their lair is on a mountain, there are ten more over there, and the leader is a [Mutant Cave Monster].
……
Mutant Cavemonster LV10
Life: 219/219
Mana: 51/51
Damage: 8
Defence: 6
Speed: 6
[Strong Lv5]
Higher than normal life value, able to maintain a strong fighting spirit for a longer period of time.
[Heavy Strike LV1]
Chance to deal extra damage when attacking.
……
There were still villains from the Salt Pond Tribe infesting the cave monster lair.
When these villains saw Isabelle’s arrival, they all panicked and ran towards the outside.
Lu Yao frowned.
It was this group of sh*t stirrers again, there were them everywhere.
It was hard to say that the cave monsters suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Garlic Tribe, and it was hard to say that it had nothing to do with the Salt Pond Tribe.
Facing Isabelle, the [Mutant Cave Monster] actually pulled its legs out and ran away, following the Salt Pond Tribe’s people to flee, without any leadership style.
Offending the gods and still wanting to run?
Lu Yao directly deployed a lightning bolt, knocking 40 points of blood off the [Mutant Cave Monster]. This electric shock also slowed down the Cave Monster’s escape momentum for a bit, and Isabelle immediately caught up with it.
Isabelle, who had summoned the Holy Sword, was crushing the Mutant Cave Monster. Under the continuous stabbing chop and green light bombardment, the cave monster leader’s blood bar was emptied and his head showed [Death] after he fell to the ground.
Isabelle then started to eliminate the other cave monsters.
Probably due to their low intelligence, the low-grade cave monsters were not afraid to die, and went forward and back, although they were all easily killed by Isabelle.
After the end of the battle, Isabelle stood on her sword, and stars of green light emerged from the corpses on the ground, gradually coalescing into a small animal.
……
[Echidna Hare LV5] [Created by Isabelle].
Life value: 75/75
Mana: 25/25
Damage: 2
Defence: 2
Speed: 10
[Off-Road LV5
Able to run at high speeds for long periods of time to avoid enemies.
[Forest Elemental LV1]
Forest Elemental creature, beneficial to rapid forest growth, all attributes are increased in the forest. Effects depend on ability level and life value.
……
The attributes of the Crossing Rabbit couldn’t be said to be outstanding, could it? It could only be said to be better than nothing.
“My lord.”
Isabelle said, “It can act as a hub of contact between tribes, passing on information.”
Lu Yao’s main focus was not this rabbit.
He typed in the dialogue box.
–Ask the Undead Soul why the Cave Monsters attacked the Garlic Tribe and who was behind it.
