Chapter 3: Sacrifices

Lu Yao placed the mouse on the [Sacrifice] slot.

It was a red creature, curled up, looking like some kind of critter that had just been born.

[Garlic Tribe Baby: An offering to the gods.] 】

Lu Yao's cheeks twitched.

Sacrifice to the living...... It is indeed in line with the habit of primitive humans to worship the gods.

In "God Simulator", Lu Yao can't communicate to the garlic tribe through the temple, and he can't predict how the pixel villain will react.

He placed his mouse on the [sacrifice], wondering if he could refuse.

A line of words appears on the screen.

INTERVIEWER Do you want to accept the [Garlic Tribe Baby] offered by the believers?

- [Yes] [No]

Lu Yao decisively said no.

If there is an inexplicable baby in the family, there is simply nowhere to go to the reason, maybe the police uncle will have to find himself for tea.

What's even more terrifying is that in case the garlic tribe keeps sending babies, there will be more and more babies in the family, just thinking of the milk powder and diapers that need to be bought...... Lu Yaoren is already numb.

Dude is a god, not a baby health worker of your tribe!

As Lu Yao denied the sacrifice, an exclamation mark erupted above everyone's head in the entire garlic tribe.

"The gods are not satisfied, the gods don't want babies!"

"I said don't use babies, you should be adults, you can farm and pick fruits for the gods!"

"No, no, use prey, use the best prey, the gods will definitely like wild boars!"

"I think it's fish! Fish is the best, slippery and won't hurt, and the gods will love it! ”

"Go find a new offering, a new sacrifice!"

……

Seeing the dialogue between the pixel villains, Lu Yao was a little crying and laughing.

But if they're delivering game, or river fresh, you can make a late-night snack tonight. Although Lu Yao doesn't usually cook much, he still cooks home-cooked food.

All but five of the garlic tribe had gone to the nearby forests, rivers, and mountains, and they looked left and right, as if looking for something suitable for sacrifice on the map.

Lu Yao noticed that there was a pixel villain who was different from the others.

This villain was one of the first 7 believers, shirtless and barefoot. He stood outside the temple, looking up at the sky, a question mark appearing in his head.

Lu Yao put the mouse on the question mark, and a bubble box popped up on the villain's head, with many words in it, which seemed to be his inner thoughts.

"What kind of sacrifice does the god need? He doesn't need a baby. Maybe he didn't need manpower, he gave the tribe a magical garlic, and the world where the gods lived certainly didn't lack food. ”

"The forest tribe desecrated the temple and was immediately punished by the gods, the gods must have great power that we can hardly imagine, and what we need is meaningless to the gods. Then, it should be only those magical things that we cannot understand and use that the gods may accept. ”

The question mark above the pixel villain's head turns into a light bulb.

As if he understood something, he trotted into the dense forest.

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

This villain's ability to think is obviously beyond the people around him, as if he has awakened wisdom. Of all of them, he was the only one with a question mark above his head.

After a while, the little man with the question mark ran out of the forest again, and he ran into the temple with an object in both hands.

Lu Yao opened the temple interface.

There is a small icon in the [Sacrifice] slot. It looks like a short-handled cane made from a twig, and has a simple appearance.

……

[Energy Cane]: Faith +1/hour, Energy 12/12 hours (Charge Speed 1/1 hour).

The treasure made by the god of the forest can absorb the vitality that overflows from the natural world, and the wielder can extract exuberant energy from it when he touches it. The god of the forest was lost after his fall.

……

- Do you want to accept the [energy cane] offered by the believers?

Lu Yao clicked [yes].

The cane icon in the [Sacrifice] slot disappeared, and a short staff with 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 vaguely expected that the [Gift] could be transmitted to the pixel world through the temple, then theoretically the [Sacrifice] could also be passed from that world.

But this scene really became a reality in front of his eyes, and he still couldn't hold his breath involuntarily.

Lu Yao carefully picked up the cane.

It is not sinkable and has the same weight as normal wood.

The surface of this short cane is covered with tree grains, but the feel is smooth and delicate, as if covered with a layer of transparent paint. There are two short sticks at the top of the cane, some of which look like broken clothes poles. It's just that there are some small shoots growing on its branches, which gives people the feeling that it still retains life.

Holding the [Energy Cane], Lu Yao only felt that he was full of energy, and the sore muscles in his lower back disappeared without a trace. It's like going back to fourteen or fifteen years old, and you can sleep after a night of gaming and be alive again.

Magical items in the pixel world also work in the real world!

Lu Yao looked at the cane.

A line of words appeared on the [Energy Cane]: Energy 12/12 hours, in use.

In other words, as long as you hold this cane, you don't have to sleep in theory. The next day, whether you go to work or class, you will never doze off!

Lu Yao's heart was surging for a while.

Nowadays, all-night games are a luxury for him. Although Lu Yao is only twenty-three years old now, he can clearly feel the changes in his body.

I am far from when I was a teenager, I stayed up a little late for an hour or two, and the next day I was always yawning and sleepy because I didn't get enough sleep, whether it was coffee or Red Bull, it was useless.

With the [Energy Cane], you can return to the peak of your energetic life!

He waved his cane excitedly for a moment and calmed down.

No, that's not the point......

It's that the [sacrifice] can really be brought out of the pixel game world.

There is no doubt that there are other magic items such as [Energy Cane] in the pixel world. If you can send it out of it through the temple...... Then this game is an endless treasure trove.

Lu Yao only felt refreshed.

With the ability to break the dimensional wall of the temple, it won't be long before you can get rid of the miserable and angry part-time job life, walk to the pinnacle of life, and become an ideal game house that is no longer choked by the throat of livelihood!

He returns his attention to the game.

At this time, the pixel miniature people all returned to the tribe, and they all had smiley faces above their heads.

"The gods love sacrifices, great, great!"

"It turns out that the gods like that kind of sacrifice, and I'm sure I'll find a better one too!"

"I still think that the wild boar is the best, the gods will love the wild boar, the wild boar is much more powerful than that branch!"

"Nonsense, fish are the best!"

"Wild boar!"

"Fish!"

Lu Yao noticed that the villain who insisted on the wild boar and the villain who liked fish were both joined by the forest tribe to the garlic tribe. They were all wearing leather vests.

Forest tribes are supposed to gather and hunt for the most part, and it is understandable that they consider prey to be the best gift.

Lu Yao's eyes searched back and forth between the villains, trying to find the villain who offered the [Energy Cane]. But these villains look exactly the same, with no names on their heads and no personal features, making them difficult to identify.

In the end, Lu Yao still found someone in the temple.

In the temple stood a bare-chested pixel-like figure with a question mark still on his head. The only thinker of the tribe is him.

A new message appears on the screen.

- There is a believer who has developed wisdom, do you need to convert him into a prophet?

[Yes] [No]
