Chapter 164: How to Get the First Pot of Gold (Three Watches)
Walking on the street, Liuzi looked around curiously, feeling that everything was very fresh.
The architecture here looks like some kind of cavern, possibly related to the fact that the main nation of the planet is a hedgehog-like creature.
Their thorns were originally meant to be a protective tool, but with better weapons, they have become something to be abandoned.
Other than that, Rokuko found everything here a bit monotonous, and the buildings looked quite stylish, but he always felt that something was missing.
Liuzi originally wanted to go to the bar to inquire about some information, and by the way to see if he could recruit some useful crew, but as soon as he walked a dozen steps, he saw a team of hedgehogs with few thorns approaching from afar.
It's a strange procession of arhats that follow certain rules, and each layer is separated by planks and mats of different colors, which makes them look like a black champagne tower.
At the bottom are the hedgehogs with their thorns pulled out, which seem to symbolize some kind of crime, and even though they are covered in blood, they still carry the wooden planks of sorrow and struggle to move forward.
This was followed by hedgehogs born lacking some thorns, which were of a higher rank and were even allowed to pad their backs with small cloths.
At the top, there is a hedgehog without spines.
It is short in stature, sitting tall on the top of the tower, and without spines it looks like a mouse, but it looks like it has a high status.
Wait, it looks like it's really a mouse!
Through his glasses, Liuzi found that the other party was an ordinary big mouse in the description of his glasses, and the ghost knew why the other party became one of the highest-ranking hedgehogs here, and even began to be worshiped by other hedgehogs.
After feeling the vastness of the galaxy, Liuzi stayed away from these strange guys and came to the bar.
Inside the bar, there was a lot of people.
Due to its proximity to the starship port, the bar here has inhabitants of other planets in addition to the main ethnic hedgehog.
The Interstellar Trader is not a particularly rare profession, this profession can earn quite a lot, and there are no special drawbacks except for being a little dangerous.
This is a bit more dangerous, referring to the mortality rate of about 7%.
Some mature lines can't make money, and if the body can't repair itself, run around and run to the end, and you may not even get back the money to repair the body.
And some of the lucrative routes are a bit dangerous, and the interstellar pirates will lay traps in the path of the merchants.
These traps are special force fields that interfere with the signals on the Merchant ships, causing their jump machines to generate the false signal that "their destination has been reached".
When they stop, a second force field locks them up, and the interstellar pirates will jump directly onto the merchant's ship by jumping, and then loot the merchant's cargo.
In contrast to these traders, whose lives are pinned to their crotch, the player's ship can recover on its own, so some common routes can be run and earn a lot of hard money.
But if you want to become bigger and stronger, you can only find those more dangerous routes, so you must have enough self-protection ability, and you can escape or even kill back when facing pirates.
Entering the bar and taking a seat dedicated to small animals, Rokuko discovers that the bartender here is a large elephant.
Large animals are very fond of hard work, and they can easily do the work of hundreds of small animals with their own strength, and then sell their labor for a good price.
Although he couldn't taste it, Rokuko also ordered a glass of lemonade and drank it after paying for it.
The monetary system adopted in the game is interesting, it is not a general equivalent that actually exists, but a belief.
The coinage of faith is in the hands of the gods, and the inhabitants of this place need to choose a god and worship it, and half of the faith generated by it will be given to the corresponding god, and half will remain in their own hands.
Half of what is paid is the faith tax.
While it sounds wonderful to be able to make money out of thin air, it's not a particularly easy job.
The worship of a god must be sincere, and there is no reward for insincere worship.
And you can't easily change the object of worship in the middle, otherwise you will be punished by the gods.
After worshipping for a long time, it will also attract the attention of the gods, and finally it is possible to see the gods descend and give various blessings.
But some blessings are not good, such as the blessings of some gods that make the pain nerves of living beings become particularly sensitive, and they have gout-level pain when they walk.
And in the eyes of the gods, He has satisfied the believer's desire to become more sensitive, and his heart has become beautiful.
While drinking lemonade, Rokuko listened to Delta explain everything about the gods and beliefs in a voice that only he could hear.
This part of the content actually inspired Liuzi, so that he couldn't help but pick up a napkin and draw carefully with his little paw dipped in water.
After a while, the area that has been infected with the paper leaves a blurred pattern.
Thanks to the sensitivity of the somatosensory gloves, Rokuko can easily draw a good picture.
Inspired by legends, the painting depicts a god with blurred faces, unable to distinguish between good and evil, or gender.
Although it is a semi-finished film, it can still be seen that the sacred temperament of the gods on the painting gives it a special divinity that is different from ordinary people.
It took him more than ten minutes to finish the painting, and he was quite satisfied with the water stains, and then he found that he was crowded with small animals.
Some stared at him, some stared at the painting, and the expressions on their faces varied, but in general they were all the same.
That's shock.
Liuzi didn't understand what they were shocking until a small bat came up and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?" ”
"Draw."
"This is the painting? Well, if I'm wrong, please don't be angry. Are you painting in imitation of humans or gods? ”
Liuzi still didn't understand until Delta said in a voice that he could not hear: "In this world, all the paintings come from ancient humans, and all the paintings are controlled by the gods. These residents have not seen a new painting for a long time. ”
"Isn't there a lot of statues in the first ring?"
"Ordinary people are not qualified to go to the first ring, do you think they can see it?"
"Why is this happening?"
"There are many reasons, ordinary people lack some kind of artistic creativity, so they can't draw."
Liuzi didn't know that this was the reason why the Far Traveler had taken away most of the pure qi in the first place.
The most beautiful and pure part of human consciousness has been taken away, and the remaining animals and plants have no corresponding abilities at all, and they cannot even paint a picture.
Art disappears here, and people can appreciate it, but they can't create it anymore.
Liuzi didn't know the reason for this.
But he knew that his chance to accumulate his first pot of gold had come.
Thank you for the 500 points tip of the leisurely reader 2233, and the 100 points of the monotonous and monotonous Tian, thank you.
