Lu Yao constantly reminded himself that he could not judge people by their appearance.
But this ball …… it is really the kind of ball that is particularly ugly.
What does it look like?
It was neither snow white nor smooth, there was no geometric beauty in the mathematical sense, nor did it have the domineering outlook of the previous Skeleton Buster Whale.
It made Lu Yao think of a dung ball pushed by a sh*thead.
If you dyed the dung ball white and rolled it in dirt and sand, it would be the thing in front of you.
The Big Bone Ball had many hairy branches and not to mention a coarse appearance, there were also many hairy crevices. If you didn’t know that it was made of skeleton, just observing it from the pixelated quality of the simulator, it was a ball of mud made from Kuan Yin clay.
Leaving aside how the bone ball itself was, Lu Yao was at least certain of one thing.
Skeleton Man Sellers’ aesthetics were less than ideal.
The previous Skeleton Buster Whale was also, obviously a mighty ocean beast, but it was hard to make it into a sea plane fish.
Lu Yao clicked on the Bone Sphere and looked up the detailed description.
……

[King Armadillo Stance] (100 mana)

……
Lu Yao was a bit surprised, this thing wasn’t really a poke on the panel, it just had a bit of defence that was heavily skewed.
The bone at the top of the Skeleton King Armadillo opened outwards, poking out a skeleton.
It was none other than Fellows.
It had been symbiotic with the Skeleton King Armadillo at this point, acting as the brain and controller of this skeletal creature.
“Lord Yao God, the Skeleton King Armadillo is the strongest skeleton creature I’ve ever built!”
A smiley face symbol appeared on the skeletal man’s head.
“This giant must have been of an extremely high rank when it was alive, and it’s a great fortune to find such a complete skeleton. Thank you for dropping by!”
Lu Yao straightened the [Skeleton King Armadillo] and found that he could indeed turn on the [Manual Mode].
He immediately took over the controls.
Long bars of life and mana values appeared in the lower left corner, and in the lower right corner were three active skill bars.
Lu Yao moved the mouse and clicked on [Bone Armadillo Impact] first.
A small ball was instantly ejected from the white giant ball, which splashed around and turned into a small Bone Beast.
They ran and patrolled around for a while. Not finding any enemies, they ran back one by one and burrowed into the giant ball.
Lu Yao saw it.
This ability was self-splitting, similar to the Skeleton Buster Whale splitting into a single Bone Fish, the skill set mechanism was still the same. It was a bit like the Divine Carrier Small Planes in Starcraft.
He tapped [Whale Fall] again.
The entire Skeleton King Armadillo all of a sudden scattered into white sand all over the ground, and this gravel turned into countless little insects, one by one scattering in all directions, each in its own way.
Lu Yao used the mouse to select them and focus them. The numerous skeleton worms coalesced again and rebuilt the shape of the Bone King Armadillo’s bone ball.
It was indeed a good skill for running away.
Finally, Lu Yao tried [King Armadillo Stance].
The white bone ball shook for a while, and from underneath the white bone armour peeked out short, powerful limbs, a long, pointed head, and a flexible rat tail.
Under the King Armadillo Stance, the Skeleton King Armadillo’s defence was greatly reduced, but it gained the [Drill Hole] ability.
Lu Yao clicked on the ground next to him.
The strange-looking skeleton creature quickly dug out a hole with its claws and transformed into a giant drill that drilled into the ground.
The [Skeleton King Armadillo] logo appeared underground. However, since the simulator didn’t have a display of the underground vertical layers, it was a bit of a struggle for Lu Yao to operate from an overhead view.
What was outrageous was that the underground King Armadillo actually had the same speed as the ground.
This skeleton creature obviously had superb defence, but it was good at escaping and sneaking.
Lu Yao could see a bit of a clue: all the skills of the Skeleton King Armadillo were designed to be able to run away safely!
The Skeleton King Armadillo was well suited to be a scout.
Not only was it capable of drilling and nightwalking with amazing defence, it was also capable of quickly evacuating in pieces. The driver, Fellows, had a decent intellect and was also able to make quick judgements on the situation.
After receiving this honourable mission, Fellows said, “Lord Yao Shen, my subordinate will definitely find out the location of the Heretical Evil God for you! Please wait for my subordinate’s good news!”
After saying that, the skeleton man drove this heavily armoured giant monster into the ground and started the search.
……
Battles had to be fought, and production and development couldn’t be left behind.
Lu Yao turned his attention to the pixelated little people.
After the establishment of the Twin Cities, Yao City and Salt City turned into two cities with very different styles.
As the origin of the original pantheon, Yao City now had a growing atmosphere of god worship. The citizens revered theology and knowledge, and it turned into a holy city of culture.
Yao City has built a special building, the [Theological Seminary], where little men in and out of the seminary wear robes and hold the Gospel of the Gods, lecturing and debating with each other everywhere they go.
[Yao Cheng invented the seminary.]
[Discovery of the prototype of available wonders: the seminary.]]
……
[Yao Cheng built the first school.]]
[Yao Cheng invented the apprenticeship system.]
[Yao City invented a new profession: scholar.]
[The intelligence of everyone in Yao City has increased by a certain amount.]]
Lu Yao was both surprised and delighted.
The school he had been longing for had appeared!
Honestly, several times Lu Yao had the urge to cheat.
It was entirely possible to transfer the concepts and systems of the school into the minds of the pixellets through Isabelle, so that they could quickly understand and apply them to the pixel world ……
But Lu Yao eventually held back.
With his growing understanding of the simulator, Lu Yao had seen different godly players in action.
Liza was the militaristic type, who had completely given up on tribal development and did everything just to extract more faith in a short period of time.
The Praying God positioned the East Sea Clan as a barracks for creating sea monsters, building the tribe into a blood and flesh factory.
The Ming God took a big patriarchal approach to the tribe’s protection, leading to the chronic giant babying of the islanders, and eventually to their complete abolition.
The Yangwu God was slightly better, but his focus was similarly on enhancing faith props, and he cared nothing about population loss, leading to a stagnant civilisation itself.
These were all failures that were right in front of us.
At least in this shattered world, the results proved that none of them worked.
Lu Yao thought.
Both population and faith had to be taken seriously, and the two needed to complement each other, preferably in a virtuous cycle.
The ones who knew this pixelated world best were naturally the little people living in this world.
In order to come up with a development path that was in line with the characteristics of this broken world, the little people had to be given room to develop and play. We can’t bind their thoughts and behaviours, we have to untie them as much as possible and stimulate their creativity. At best, there should be some natural disasters to put pressure on them.
The fact that the little people who believed in Lu Yao developed the best was proof that the route was correct.
Of course, the little people weren’t good at everything.
A lot of pixel villains are inexplicably stupid, sometimes they show a flash of brilliance, sometimes they go crazy and die, and sometimes they try to secretly lie down ……
Lu Yao slowly found his own way of guardianship.
Both taking care not to let the little people die.
It is also necessary to accept their stupidity and growth, rebellion and surprise.
……
Lu Yao pulled his attention back to Yao City.
At this time, Haimila was speaking outside the seminary.
She told the scholars, “We are going to prove that Yao City is the future of all people, the rightful successor to the will of the gods.”
“We will lead the way forward for all, leading everyone to a glorious and bountiful future. No matter what challenges we face, we will overcome them, and the Yao God is with us!”
“So, scholars, announce your great discoveries!”
“Let the city next door, which reeks of copper, understand what it means to have great and noble wisdom! Why Yao City is the eldest son of the gods!”
Several prompts popped up continuously in the simulator.
[Yao City has updated its world map.]
[Yao Cheng made its first world model: the Land of Water]
[The knowledge of everyone in Yao Cheng has been slightly improved.]
