Chapter XVII: The Invention of Writing

Holidays come and go, and work never ends.

Lu Yao sat at the company's workstation, sorting out the materials and customer information on the computer.

Sister Peng next to her came over: "That little foreign girl, named Isabel, is doll-like, looks very temperamental, and has a good family......

"Lady, right?"

Lu Yao picked up the paper cup and drank some water, and said in his mouth: "Her family seems to be a working family. ”

"And when do you plan to get married?"

Lu Yao almost squirted out a mouthful of water.

"We're just friends......"

"Don't pretend." Sister Peng waved her hand, looking like I already understood everything.

"You're blind to me? The little girl's clothes are yours, right? The pants are yours too, right? A girl is willing to wear your clothes and follow you to the supermarket, most likely you live together, right? It's not your girlfriend, it's your maid? ”

She sneered: "You kid looks honest, and you have a good hand at hooking little girls." That girl seems to be very interested in you, and has been watching you silently, and the direction of her gaze has never left you......"

Lu Yao wanted to say that she was a personal bodyguard, and it was normal for her to always pay attention to me, the boss.

But he could only vaguely say: "It's not what you think." ”

"What's that?"

Lu Yao diverted the topic: "That's right." Sister Peng, your fiancΓ©, how tall is Officer Fu. ”

"It's okay, 187, the man is a little taller, and he looks a little safer."

Sister Peng's face was full of pride, and she was undoubtedly very satisfied with her fiancΓ©.

"No wonder Sister Peng, you paid attention to the perverted case before, it turns out that you are a family member of the police."

"Eh, don't say it. Their police officers do have occupational diseases, and everyone looks at them as if they are subconsciously looking at the suspects...... Speaking of which, the pervert heard that he was caught. ”

"Caught?" Lu Yao pretended to be surprised.

"Yes."

Sister Peng lowered her voice: "However, it seems that the identity of the suspect is a little sensitive, and it has not been announced to the public, and it has been handed over to the higher authorities." Fu Chenggang didn't reveal too much, saying that he had to be disciplined. ”

Lu Yao was shocked.

Transfer to a higher department?

In other words, Lisa's identity as a player is revealed. What's more, the player base seems to have a special department under its jurisdiction. It shows that in addition to himself and Lisa, there are many people who also play the role of gods in the pixel world.

Reminiscent of Lisa's use of Isabel as a high-level player, she also said that the committee did not restrict her...... It has something to do with that committee behind it.

However, this also shows that Lisa was indeed arrested by the department in charge of the player.

In the short term, she has little chance of causing trouble for herself.

"How did you get to me?" Sister Peng came back to her senses and continued to gossip: "Isabel looks less than twenty years old, right?" What country is she from? She came to you alone, and her family was so relieved of you? Could it be that your family has been a baby since childhood? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lu Yao could only say: "She has gone home." ”

"Huh?" Sister Peng's face suddenly changed, and she said angrily: "You just let her go like this?" Lost your temper? What if she doesn't come back? Why are you so stupid? Can you still find the same look? ”

Lu Yao spread his hands: "People always have to go home." ”

Isabel returns to the pixel world.

This is not only her personal will, but also the law of the realm that must be followed.

Under the constraints of the realm dimension, the longer Isabel stays in the real world, the more likely she is to mutate and be transformed and distorted by the power of rules. The core task of her coming here is to ensure Lu Yao's personal safety, Lisa has been arrested, and she has no reason to stay here.

The greatest mission of the apostles is to act as the arms of the gods, to carry out the will of the gods, and to collect and spread the faith for the gods. Back in the pixel world, she can play to her strengths.

In fact, Isabel was also only in this world for two days.

……

After getting off work, Lu Yao returned to the house.

On the computer desk, Xiaohuo squatted quietly in a flower pot, no different from a normal houseplant. Lu Yao didn't let it speak, it was just an ordinary cactus.

The game interface shows that the size of the Garlic Tribe is steadily increasing.

In the upper right corner, the population has reached 303, and the Faith is currently 201.

In the temple, Isabelle, dressed in a black robe, sat quietly on her knees, facing Lu Yao in front of the screen, her head hanging slightly, waiting for the god to give an order.

Lu Yao typed in the dialog box.

- Have there been any anomalies in the tribe lately?

"My lord, everything is normal with the tribe, and there is nothing suspicious."

- I asked you to investigate the collapsed cave of the barbarian tribe, did you get any results?

"My lord, there's a passage in there. Connected to another unknown area, but due to a mountain accident, it has been completely destroyed and can no longer be used. ”

Isabel suddenly took the initiative to speak.

"My lord, I ask to leave the tribe for a while."

"Not long ago, I used a dying prayer to awaken the spirit of a deceased. It says that in the middle of the southern desert there is an oasis in which there is a Bedu tribe. The Bedu tribe kept sheep and camels, and the people were brave and had access to another plain. ”

"I want to go into the desert, find the Bedu tribes, turn them into your followers, and add firewood to the fire of your faith."

Lu Yao is very confident in Isabel's strength.

- Then go for it.

"Yes, sir."

Isabel stepped out of the temple and into the desert to the west, where she began her quest.

……

Lu Yao looked at the cactus ball on the table: "Xiao Huo, cook a bowl of noodles for me, I want to pick peppers." Add an egg and half a ham sausage. ”

"Yes, Kami-sama."

Xiaohuo got up from the potted plant, shook the dirt off his body, pulled out a bag of instant noodles from the cardboard box in the corner, and ran out to cook noodles.

The house Lu Yao rented was a two-bedroom apartment, which he rented with his college classmate Zhou Qiang. Zhou Qiang doesn't live here, and the other room is used as a temporary warehouse by him, and a lot of cardboard boxes are piled up.

Usually Zhou Qiang will come early every Monday morning to vacate the goods in the carton, and then load the new goods in. Lu Yao will lock the door after he comes back, so he is not afraid of Xiaohuo being seen.

Outside the window, there was the sound of wild cats, and it was not known if they were fighting or dating.

Lu Yao got up and stretched his limbs, and as his neck twisted, there was a slight crackling sound in his body. He moved a little too much, twisted his waist, and the pain made him hiss.

Just as he rubbed his waist with his hands, a new prompt appeared on the computer.

[The garlic tribe invented writing, and everyone's intelligence has improved slightly.] 】

[The emergence of writing has given the garlic tribe the ability to record and spread civilization and beliefs across regions. 】

When Lu Yao saw this scene, if it weren't for his back pain, he would have wanted to punch on the spot.

One of the most important inventions of the Tribal era was writing.

Words symbolize civilization.

The garlic tribe has finally come out of the era of ignorance and uncivilized.

With the advent of text, the game's interface has also been updated.

At the top of the screen, in addition to the population and faith on the far right, there are several more resources displayed.

Grain\wood\stone\leather\salt.

However, these items do not show specific values, showing a shape similar to the power slot, slowly fluctuating.

The grain looks the most abundant, showing a healthy green color.

Lu Yao put his mouse on the grain, and he could also see a list of detailed ingredients below.

Wheat accounts for 8 percent, meat accounts for 1 percent, and the rest is others. This is the current food structure of the garlic tribe.

In addition to grain, salt and leather are also in the green and sufficient stage.

The wood appears yellow, indicating a lack of reserves.

The stone appears red, indicating an extreme deficiency.

Lu Yao understood after a little thought.

When words appear, these resources can be manifested in words. It seems that as the garlic tribal civilization continues to develop, the complexity of the entire society will continue to increase, and the corresponding interface will also be constantly updated.

Fortunately, the entire civilization is operating and evolving independently, and Lu Yao does not need to bother with micro-manipulation, but only needs to control the general direction.

The hints on the game interface continue.

[You defeated God Jack in this area, and the attitude of the Salt Pond Tribe became intimate.] 】

【The Salt Pond tribe has offered you a sacrifice.】 】
