Chapter 386: The Game of the Other (Ask for Subscriptions!Ask for Recommendation Tickets!Ask for Monthly Tickets!)
As a deity, there weren't many things that Stem could worry about, but other than the work related to his own priesthood.
Before he became Him, he was just a dwarf who had awakened the gift of psychic abilities.
And the talent of psychic abilities is actually not uncommon among creatures like gnomes who are keen on fantasy.
At least for Stim's brothers, the gnomes who wanted to inherit their father's title of "Great Artisan", it didn't matter if they had psychic abilities or not, but at most they could get some convenience when it came to screwing and rolling metal.
But that wasn't the case with Stiem, who continued to explore the various applications of psychic abilities, and always enjoyed it
When the second brother, who was three years higher than him, finally gained his father's approval on "Apprentice Day" and became the most prestigious "master craftsman" in the city, Stim did not choose to open a small repair shop in the city to make ends meet, as the other brothers did.
On that day, Stim made the most important decision of his life.
With all the pocket money he saved, he opened a "Stim's Virtual Game Store" on the busiest street in the city.
The store does not sell any spare parts, does not smell of strong engine oil, and does not provide a price list for mechanical repairs.
It only provides customers with one service, and that is to let them experience another kind of life in a virtual game world.
Prior to Apprentice Day, Stim had spent twenty years honing his psychic abilities to an extremely high level.
Because the other brothers were busy studying, most of his free time was actually playing games with himself.
In reality, games are subject to the personal conditions of the participants, and in fact, they have certain limitations.
By chance, Stim explores a virtual way to use psychic abilities to project consciousness into a constructed story, so as to experience the lives of the characters in the story.
The first story he chose was the book "The Gnome and His Clockwork Dragon Companion", which was widely circulated among the gnomes.
On the opening day of the "Stim's Virtual Game Store", many customers followed his recommendation to experience the legendary life experience of the Clockwork Dragon Repair Master, and gave them five-star reviews.
Since then, "Stim's Virtual Game Store" has become an instant hit, with a steady stream of customers coming here every day.
In order to meet the needs of more and more customers, Stim not only opened a chain store, but also added more story models - "Golden Shining and His Self-Propelled Cavalry", "Wrench Man Hangs Smaugo", "Desperate Survival", "Watch Wolf", ...... They have been created into virtual game scenes that customers can experience.
Due to its growing number of customers, the will of the multiverse itself has begun to notice the little gnome who has created a new kind of thing, and has given him special favor.
Until one day, the new priesthood of "war chess, role-playing and virtual games" was finally completed.
As if it were logical, there were no tests to go through before becoming a god like other mortal creatures, and Stim successfully became a god.
Because of his habit of managing his game from a third-person perspective, commonly known as the perspective of a god, the new god is called the "Other".
The priesthood determines Stim's side, and he is a neutral deity, but this does not mean that Stim is indisputable.
Although there is no new god of the game and no god to share power with, Stim still has many rivals.
For example, Kord, the god of strength who loves sports, Franen, the god of the road worshipped by the bards, and even Gal Shine, who is also a dwarf god, is also in competition with Stim because of his priesthood in the field of mischief.
The very existence of the gods is like a boat sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat.
Even if he is not keen on fighting, Stim will involuntarily optimize his power system so that he can better fulfill the mission of the priesthood of "war chess, role-playing, and virtual games". This is the obligation of the gods.
Guided by chance, or rather intuition, he travels to the bottomless abyss, finds the Worm Tyrant, and engages in a bloody battle.
At this point, Stim had to give it his all.
Exercising his authority, the dwarf god seemed to be the god of justice, and he stared at the worm tyrant:
"The game of the other has begun. Thou shalt remember not to think about how to cheat, any use of similar 'cheats', once discovered, will be judged by me, for the sake of the gamer's belief - the game can be lost, the cheat must die, I will start a divine war against you!"
Hearing this, the worm tyrant who appeared in front of Stim in his avatar repeatedly said that he would definitely abide by the rules.
Due to his alliance status, Stim revealed to him some of the rules of the game in advance.
When the Worm Tyrant learned that "after entering the chess game, all forces must be based on the plane covered by the chess game, and cannot communicate with other planes", he decisively cast a strategic spell to change the weather and rain acid rain for several days.
In this way, after entering the chess game, the Bartow Expeditionary Corps will have no way to change their outfits, so they can only use some weapons and equipment whose quality has been affected, or even that has been scrapped. Its military power will inevitably be weakened, and the likelihood of defeat will greatly increase.
Originally, the Worm Tyrant was still thinking about whether he could use his Demon Lord's ability to control the plane again, and after entering the chess game, he would find an opportunity to play again and win easily through the "plug-in".
But how could he have imagined how much Stim's abhorrence to the use of "cheats" — a provocative act to usurp his authority as the developer and controller of the game — was a blasphemy against his priesthood.
Therefore, Stim had a plan in mind, "In view of your previous actions, and out of consideration for the balance of the game, I declare you and your worm demons in the name of the game developer...... Become a neutral creep, play your role and enjoy the game. ”
When he said this, the Worm Tyrant didn't have time to ask what a neutral creep was, nor how to play that role, when he was wrapped in purple streamers, and he disappeared in place.
Looking at the "Beast Monarch" with a jealous look on his face, Stim showed a signature smile, "Lord Buffyment, you are the main force against Bato's camp in this chess game, as a 'hero' unit, you can not only adopt the mainstream gameplay of recruiting soldiers and capturing towns, but also choose to obtain corresponding materials, money, and experience rewards by killing neutral monsters. ”
"Oh, what do you mean...... Can I kill that little bug?" Buffett asked with a sudden interest.
Stiem smiled but didn't say a word.
After all, his contract with the Worm Tyrant had already been fulfilled. Now, as long as Buffett is allowed to win quickly, he can end this chess game as soon as possible and withdraw from the bloody battlefield.
