Chapter 5: Don’t Look Directly at God
At this moment, Lu Yi had no idea how stubborn the plot was.
After the rest, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to intensive study.
After all, the bet has been made, so he has to take it back, right?
Although the golden finger arrived as expected, Lu Yi still prefers the feeling of having everything under control.
What's more, with the buff of improved memory and concentration, the feeling of learning becomes particularly wonderful.
For the first time, Lu Yi felt that learning could be an addictive thing.
The school systems of the various empires on the Isaiah continent may differ, but the final exams before entering advanced colleges are consistent and unified.
The final exam is divided into two parts. The main part is the baptism ceremony in the baptismal temple, which will awaken your talents; the other is a written test on academics.
In this Western fantasy continent filled with gods and magic, whether a person can successfully awaken his talent determines his future path, and the level of his talent determines his upper limit.
Everyone who can awaken their talents is a darling favored by God, a lucky one among millions.
As for those who had no awakened talents, most of them became mediocre people. Only a very small number of people relied on extraordinary perseverance and opportunities to get by.
Unfortunately, the original body was one of those unlucky people who had no talent for magic.
In order to change the tragic ending, the first step Lu Yi has to take is to rewrite his talent.
Maybe this small setting won't allow him to awaken any advanced talents, but at least it can allow him to get an admission ticket.
As long as you can get in, the rest will be easy.
The richness of the Klein family's resources is self-evident.
Zorn's awakened talent was only average, but he made rapid progress with the help of his uninterrupted resources and even became a leader among his peers.
Genius can be born or created.
It’s just a pity that in the original text, neither Aster nor Lu Yi awakened their superpowers.
Lu Yi closed the thick book in his hand.
The improvement in his memory allowed him to almost memorize everything he saw, and the improvement in his concentration allowed him to immerse himself in learning.
The final exam will be held in a few days.
[“This is a favorable game…”] Lu Yi muttered to himself.
857 stayed up all night to watch the drama last night. When he woke up, he heard Lu Yi sighing like this. He subconsciously asked: [What? What favorable situation? ]
[“Nothing. What were you doing just now? You didn’t respond no matter how I called you.” Lu Yi said casually.
[I didn't do anything, just slept. ]
[“Sleeping?”] Lu Yi asked in surprise, [“Didn’t you say you’re not human? Can a mechanical lifeform sleep?”]
[Why not? Human, your understanding of mechanical life is still too shallow! ]
[Flesh and blood are weak, machines ascend! ——Amen, the machine door will last forever! 】
Lu Yi reasonably suspected that 857 was calling it a naive person before it fought back against him.
He wanted to say something else, but then the retro lottery phone on the table rang.
Not many people know Lu Yi's private number.
He picked up the phone and said politely, "Hello, I'm Lu Yi Klein."
"Lu Yi! It's me, Shimona."
"Oh, Shimona!...What's wrong?"
The sound coming from the receiver was a bit distorted and was far less useful than the magic stone of voice transmission.
But obviously not all nobles can afford to use the precious Philosopher's Stone for daily communication.
Despite this, there was still a hint of meanness in Shimona's distorted voice.
"Lu Yi, are you okay now?"
Lu Yi didn't realize what he was up to at first, and replied, "Everything is fine."
The impact of the six-point test paper on him was neither small nor big.
"Hehehe, that's good..."
Lu Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Stop laughing."
This guy's smile is creepy, even more villainous than the villain himself.
"Hey! My brother Lu is awesome. He even predicted what would happen to me. How dare that idiot fight with me, Brother Lu..."
"Stop. If you don't get down to business, I'll hang up. I don't have time to listen to nonsense." Lu Yi said impatiently.
I don’t know what that guy Bart was thinking. He was spreading the word that he would definitely win the bet and embarrass Lu Yi.
"Hey, no, no, no, it's the orc tavern guy I told you about before, do you still remember him?"
"Remember."
Lu Yi pretended not to hear the other party's hint.
The person on the other end was indeed anxious, and his speech speed increased a lot.
"So do you still want to go?" As if afraid that Lu Yi might not want to go, Ximona's voice was filled with pleading, "Klein, help me, I really don't know who else I can ask for help."
"What's the matter? I'll take you there."
Lu Yi estimated his review progress and agreed readily.
After all, she is one of the few friends of the original body, so Lu Yi has a pretty good impression of Shimona.
He has many memories of his younger brothers taking the blame for him.
Moreover, in the original text, Shimona was one of the few people who did not take advantage of Lu Yi's misfortune or leave him after he fell into trouble.
Not only did he not leave, but he gave away everything he had.
——He even lost his life for Lu Yi in the end.
Lu Yi pretended to be stunned at first, thinking that this little brother was out for sex, but now it seems that is not the case.
"But you have to tell me why you want to go there so much? I don't believe it's just because of some cat-eared girl..."
There was silence for a while, and then a shy voice was heard after a long while.
"I think I've fallen in love with a girl..."
"I just want to see her one last time before the final exam."
Lu Yi silently put the receiver back.
…
Lu Yi and Shimona made an appointment for Sunday.
On the morning of Monday, Lu Yi was awakened by a series of continuous phone ringing.
"I'll throw this broken phone away sooner or later..."
Lu Yi doesn't get grumpy when he wakes up, but no matter who is woken up by the ringing phone at seven o'clock on the weekend, he probably won't be able to remain happy.
"You'd better have something urgent to do." Lu Yi said sinisterly.
He originally planned to sleep until he woke up naturally!
"Uh, nothing, Lu Yi, my dear Lu Yi, I just want to remind you of our date tonight." said Ximona.
"Then may I ask you when is our appointment?"
"Seven o'clock on Sunday evening!" Shimona answered immediately.
"May I ask what time it is now?"
"Uh, it's seven o'clock in the morning on Sunday..." Ximona's voice became weaker and weaker, "Well, good morning, Lu Yi, have you eaten?"
Lu Yi tried his best to restrain his urge to swear.
eat****!
"You know, I might be too excited. I was just at four this morning..."
“Bang—”
Lu Yi hung up the phone and crawled back into the warm bed.
But he was already running out of sleep, and even as he lay in bed with his eyes closed he began to gradually wake up.
Lu Yi had no choice but to get up and be forced to start a new day.
According to his plan, today was his day off, and he used the entire morning to sleep in.
But now the sudden extra time made him feel at a loss for what to do.
This time is exactly the time for morning prayer.
Lu Yi walked towards the small auditorium in the manor as if possessed by a spirit.
In Lu Yi's original world, he was a staunch atheist.
But the world in the book does have gods.
And there is more than one.
All this caused quite a bit of conflict for Lu Yi.
Lu Yi stood in front of the small auditorium.
It is actually a bit inappropriate to call this a small auditorium. The building in front is extremely magnificent, even more majestic than the main building in the manor.
Captive white pigeons perched on the edge of the white spire. The early morning light filtered through the intricately patterned stained glass windows on the side of the auditorium, refracting a colorful projection on the ground.
Lu Yi pushed open the door of the small auditorium.
There are several tall statues enshrined in the auditorium, and placed in the center is an extremely huge statue of light.
According to historical records, after the Ragnarok of the Gods, most of the gods fell, and the few gods who survived fell into a long sleep, with only a trace of consciousness wandering in the center of the temple.
At this moment, the only god still watching over this continent is the God of Light, the God of all gods.
Human life is so short. Even in the Western fantasy world where life span is extended, human lifespan is no more than three hundred years.
But for a sleeping god, three hundred years may not be just a brief breathing period.
Conversion became a matter of course.
It is only natural that the God of Light has become the largest and most mainstream belief in the human territory.
Devout believers will receive gifts from the God of Light.
Whether talents are stimulated or not directly reflects the degree of favor from these gods.
The more devout the believers are, the more powerful force they can inspire.
As the God of all gods, the God of Light controls everything, and it is possible for His believers to awaken any talents.
[“857, do you believe in the existence of gods?”]
[Believe it, I believe in the God of Machinery. ]
[“The God of Machinery?”]
[Yes, although strictly speaking he should be a human, from a certain perspective he is no different from a god.]
[“That’s good. You are also a man of faith.”]
Lu Yi's eyes were fixed on the hem of the central statue.
Humans cannot look directly at the true face of gods, not even in the form of sculptures.
The flowing hem of the skirt is so tightly fitted that it seems to have life and does not look like an artificial creation at all.
Following the hem all the way up, the ups and downs of the hem reveal the god's perfect body structure.
The faintly visible chest muscles, the undulating collarbones, and the high neck...
Lu Yi's gaze moved upwards uncontrollably.
His heart was beating wildly and uncontrollably.
When Lu Yi saw the location of the collarbone, he had to admit that he had completely lost control of his body.
His eyes seemed to have a will of their own, moving slowly but firmly upwards.
Lu Yi wanted to call 857, but even his thoughts were trapped in a blank area.
At this moment he looked directly at God.
Lu Yi's pupils dilated, and in the reflection of his azure eyes, the god's pupils were constantly peeling off.
First, the pale sculpture seemed to crack and peel off like a piece of paper, and then the endless light full of divinity and the Eye of Day shed tears of blood.
The blood and tears mixed with the broken pupils, and countless pupil fragments merged into the blood and tears.
There was only a missing patch of black left in the statue's eye sockets.
The extremely dense darkness seemed to be able to draw his soul into it.
Lu Yi's heartbeat became more and more intense, almost like it was about to break free from his chest and rush out of his body.
He seemed to foresee his own death, witnessed by the compassionate statue in the early morning.
But the next second, everything in front of him shattered like an illusion.
The statue of the God of Light still maintains an image of holiness and mercy, without any blood or tears.
Lu Yi's eyes began to feel pain, and his body returned to his control.
Everything became normal again.
His breathing hitched and he dropped his head for a moment, the burning pain in his eyes beginning to fade.
All of Lu Yi's senses began to return, and he heard 857's anxious voice.
[…Host? Lu Yi? Lu Yi, what’s wrong with you? Can you hear me? ]
Lu Yi closed his eyes tightly, tears constantly falling from the corners of his eyes.
The tears looked like drops of red blood, but upon closer inspection they were just crystal clear and colorless.
【“I’m fine.”】Lu Yi said.
And the statue of light high above still maintained a merciful image, as if nothing had happened.
The author has something to say:
Your first appearance as an attacker is looking up at the sky.
Set the values from Monday to Sunday last week to be: gold, wood, water, fire, saturn, planet, moon, sun, etc. This is not very rigorous but is easy to remember (bushi.
