Chapter 189 I Know My Friends’ Hearts
Lu Yao focused his attention on the Dwarf Fortress.
This small castle built by the dwarves has furnaces of different sizes erected on the outside, and in the courtyard of the circular fortress there are forging platforms made of iron and stone.
Many dwarves were busy, coming in and out.
Among them was a male dwarf named Hammer Endless, who caught Lu Yao's attention.
The Endless Hammer is at level LV20 and is the highest level of the Furnace Clan in the fortress.
His beard was trimmed into a striking trident shape, and he had a pair of dead fish eyes, which made him look a bit dull. Hammer Wujin didn't talk much, and most of the time he was swinging a hammer and hammering metal tools.
In his personal panel, there is an ability called [Craftsman].
…
[Craftsman]: Possesses exquisite skills and has a certain chance of creating excellent props.
…
Lu Yao asked Isabel and Salina, and only then did he realize the difference in the types of props.
Items that have certain supernatural powers are called [Excellent].
For example, the [Count's Handkerchief], [Taunting Scissors], and even the [Withering Crown] that Lu Yao had obtained before, all belong to this sequence.
The extraordinary group themselves have the ability to create sophisticated props, and after continuous strengthening, they will become extremely powerful.
Going one level higher, it is called [Spark] by the extraordinary group.
The fire is the fire of faith. Only treasures that carry the fire of faith can be called fire items.
Unlike sophisticated props, fire props are almost all made by the power of rules or gods, and the power they carry belongs to the realm that only gods can touch.
Going further up, there are [Epic] and [Myth].
After many eras and civilization changes and creations, the epic no longer represents a simple treasure, but an immortal masterpiece compiled and perfected by many groups.
Myths are even more heavyweight. They appear in many eras and countless worlds, experience the rise and fall of gods, are praised and told by countless people, and are almost symbols of gods.
In the simulator, epic and mythological entries are displayed.
The [Wishing Star] that Lu Yaocai obtained is an epic item.
Strictly speaking, the creator of the [Wishing Star] was not the Star Sea God, but the civilizations that rose and fell in the past. He just finally took in and transformed this star.
These four props are actually two sequences.
The pinnacle of excellence is epic, which belongs to the human realm.
The ultimate form of fire is mythology, the realm of God.
…
Lu Yao is ready to help the dwarves.
Since the Furnace Clan has produced a skilled craftsman and made excellent props, I will satisfy their wishes, which can be regarded as a small encouragement.
The dwarves' wish is to brew mead.
Lu Yao fell into deep thought.
Buy a bottle of mead online and then give it as a gift?
No. Winemaking requires a lot of trial and error, and even Lu Yao, an outsider, knows that a little error can lead to a big mistake. Even if you throw a bottle of wine over, the pixel man can't be restored... Advanced math experiments have already proved this.
Lu Yao suddenly thought of a way.
He clicked on Hunting Rain.
Move the mouse to the level of Hunting Rain LV4 and click.
An option pops up in the simulator.
There is an additional (322/400) value bar on top of the Rain Hunter's head.
Lu Yao was delighted, it works!
When Lu Yao first awakened Isabel, he had tried to quickly upgrade the apostle's level by burning faith. The only problem was that the cost was very high.
In the past, faith was scarce, and there was not enough money to spend on performing miracles, let alone upgrading the apostles.
Now it seems that believers can also be forcibly upgraded to a higher level.
The more faith reserves you have, the better.
Lu Yao thought to himself, watch out, the gods will give you some extra points today!
He clicked on the experience bar behind Lieyu.
Faith in the upper right corner -78.
An LV up↑ icon appeared above Lieyu's head, and it suddenly became level 5, and the number behind it also became (0/500).
An exclamation point popped up over her head.
"This is... I feel like I've become stronger in all aspects. My mind is clearer and my body feels more comfortable... Ah! This is a gift from God!"
Lie Yu quickly knelt on the ground: "Thank you, great God Yao!"
Lu Yao ordered another round for her.
Faith - 500.
Lieyu suddenly became level 6.
The exclamation point above her head grew larger.
"My Lord God, I am truly humbled by your blessing..."
Lieyu didn't understand and felt a little nervous.
Lu Yao was amused by what he saw.
The only regret is that a specific ability cannot be directly enhanced or increased by burning the fire of faith. It can only increase the individual level.
A big question mark appeared above Lieyu’s head.
"God has bestowed such a generous blessing and reward...ah, this is a revelation from God, a revelation from God..."
"I see! Mead, it's mead!"
"Lord Yaoshen gave me the blessing and inspiration to brew honey wine!"
Her question mark instantly turned into a glowing light bulb.
"I understand, Lord God! I will go and make some wine right away."
Lu Yao thought to himself, that’s right.
Lieyu was carrying honey jars and busy making wine.
The blessing from the gods gave her great encouragement and motivation, making Lieyu full of energy. She began to try tirelessly, running back and forth between wooden barrels, pottery jars and wine cellars.
Lu Yao went to the bathroom, and when he came back a prompt popped up on the simulator.
[Lieyu invented blast furnace honey wine]
[Hunting Rain Becomes a Legend]
[Because of the appearance of Blast Furnace Honey Wine, the morale of the Furnace Clan has risen and they have gained more prestige]
[The Yao tribe has obtained a new specialty: Blast Furnace Honey Wine]
…
Lu Yao exclaimed, "What a great guy."
This mead actually had such a big impact.
Let me see what's so magical about it.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
He clicked on the wine barrel next to Lieyu.
…
[Blast Furnace Honey Wine]: A special type of wine. After drinking it, you will feel happy, morale +1, and briefly enter the [Intimate] state, eliminating language barriers and generating telepathy.
…
Lu Yao was stunned.
Does this wine have a built-in translation function?
He immediately realized that in this early stage when the pixel people were getting in touch with the supernatural world, this blast furnace mead was of great value and would definitely be popular.
Displayed on the game interface.
——Great God, one of our believers has performed a feat far beyond her peers. Do you need to transform her into a hero?
【whether】
A faint light emanated from Lieyu's body.
Lu Yao nodded yes.
In a flash, Lieyu had his own portrait.
In the large picture, a farm girl stands in a wheat field, holding a large wooden wine glass and raising it to the sky, with a big smile on her wheat-colored face.
It is written below.
——No matter what happens tomorrow, let’s drink first! …

【history】
Obtained the Elf Lake Treasure Chest at the age of 15.
At the age of 21, he began to practice with Shiohisa.
At the age of 39, he brewed blast furnace mead.
…
Lu Yao clicked on the entry for Blast Furnace Honey Wine in Lieyu's [History]. He continued clicking, and the screen kept switching between various containers and areas for honey wine.
In a secluded beach, Lu Yao stopped switching.
Two man-eating crabs and a firebird are discussing cooperation.
There was a jar of mead in front of each of them. After taking a couple of sips, a state of "intimate" appeared above their heads, and a clear dialog box popped up.
"We brothers have always been disciplined. You asked us to help you preserve the eggs, but it would be better to keep them in the city storehouse. If you can't reveal some inside information, we brothers would not dare to accept this order."
The Frenzy Bird was silent for a moment. "This egg was laid by me and a Fiery Chicken without my partner's knowledge. So it must be kept secret. I'm not sure what will hatch out of it. But it can't be left in the volcanic area or the city warehouse. It's too conspicuous."
"I understand."
The big man-eating crab waved its claws and said, "Raise the cub. But the price is not low, and we brothers are also under pressure. Although reputation doesn't matter to us... it's really inconvenient to bring a fire elemental creature with us, and there will be discussions within the tribe."
"I'll give you a good price." The Flame Bird pecked at the wine jar, relying on the mead to maintain its [Intimate] state.
"One last question."
The man-eating crab asked, "If it hatches, should you tell it that you are its father?"
"No, just say you picked it up."
"Okay. Once it can fly, we'll let it fend for itself."
The Frenzy Bird said, "Two Dark Earthworms. Come here tomorrow to get them. Before it flies on its own, I will visit the child regularly... You must take good care of it."
"Don't worry, how could we have a problem with our employer?" A smiling face appeared on the man-eating crab's head: "As long as you pay enough, we can support it for its entire life!"
“…”
The Crazy Flame Bird flapped its wings and turned away.
Leaving behind two man-eating crabs whispering.
"Brother, this blast furnace honey wine is really useful. I used to fight with the Frenzy Bird, but now I can do business."
"Second brother, we have to seize the opportunity."
The large man-eating crab warned, "The Frenzy Birds often mess around with outsiders, but they are also very jealous and care about their reputation. We need to do as much of our business as possible, hatching and taking care of the eggs, otherwise we will definitely lose our business to other guys in the future."
"That's what Big Brother said."
"Hurry up, we have to go to the next one."
"Is there another one?"
"It's in the forest ahead. This time it's a turkey."
"They want us to take care of their cubs too?"
"No, they want us to help sell the eggs. They are embarrassed to do it themselves, so we do it for them. It's not bad to make some money. Let's go! Bring the mead and don't spill it. The price of this stuff is getting more and more expensive, and it's hard to buy."
The two crabs carried the wine jars and ran forward to the next customer.
