Chapter 27: Ghost Faith is also Faith

Lu Yao stopped his view above Saniluo City.

The infrastructure of this ghost town has reached the level of the feudal era: the ground is paved with stone slabs, various houses are built with a mixture of wood and stone, there are drainage ditches and flower beds along the edge of the ground, and even street trees are planted.

The residents of Saniro are all ghosts. They are different from normal pixelated people. Their bodies are translucent, just like the enlarged version of the gray people on the heads of the barbarian tribes. The ghost residents also have another feature, they have a level mark on their heads.

The vast majority of ghost residents are between LV1 and LV5.

Soldiers are all at LV5-LV10. These ghosts are dressed in chain mail, wearing bronze helmets and holding spears, which is completely different from the dress of ordinary citizens. They are real professional soldiers.

The leader of the soldiers was a [Commander] named Alex. He was at level 12, wearing a silver half-body armor, holding a shield and a one-handed sword.

All ghosts have an ability: [Avoid].

…

【avoid】

Can avoid some damage caused by attacks. Compared with his weak life, this probability is higher.

…

Sandworms also have this ability.

This ability is a crushing defeat for ordinary people.

There are level marks on the heads of the pixel ghosts, which means they are beyond the level of ordinary people. In other words, each ghost has the strength of a hero or a monster.

A city with tens of thousands of ghosts is a nightmare force for the surrounding tribal civilizations.

But who told me to have an apostle? Lu Yao looked at Isabel, who was surrounded by Mayor Chapman and Commander Alex.

Single-handedly breaking through the defense system of Sanilo City, this is the charm of Isabel.

Mayor Chapman complained.

"Due to the existence of the god totem, the fire of faith of other gods cannot be ignited here."

"It is also because of the influence of the totem that the ghosts of Saniro cannot leave, and foreign ghosts cannot come in. Instead, some monsters can come here to destroy and kill."

"Sandworms in the desert sometimes attack cities, and it's always very difficult for us to resist them."

"There are also sea monsters in the sea, and sometimes they attack the harbor."

"Over the years, the number of ghosts in the city has been decreasing. If this continues, Sanilo City will eventually perish."

Commander Alex also said: "The soldiers in the city are constantly losing strength. Now there are only 58 soldiers. The defense force is still weakening. Although I have been training ordinary citizens to become soldiers, the effect is not very good."

“…”

Isabel was silent for a moment: "In other words, the key to Saniro's curse is the totem of the gods. As long as the totem is gone, this city will no longer be restricted in terms of faith and population."

"You are right."

Mayor Chapman immediately pleaded, "But human power cannot destroy the totem of the gods. It is the mark left by the gods. Even if the carrier of the statue is destroyed, the mark will still remain."

"Only gods can fight against gods."

"Saniro has always hoped that a god would come to save our city. We are willing to offer our faith, just as we served the forest god in the past, and spread the blessings and name of the god wherever we go."

Isabel looked in front of the screen and knelt on one knee.

A dialog box appeared above her head that only Lu Yao could see.

"Sir, do you want to accept Saniro's soul?"

——Can ghosts provide faith?

"able."

Isabel said: "Everything in the world, as long as it has intelligence or wisdom, has the power of faith."

What else is there to say?

I want the whole city! Lu Yao turned his sights towards the square of Saniluo City.

The square is the center of the city, where all the streets converge. The circular square is guarded by buildings similar to the town hall and the watchtower, and a blue sculpture stands in the center of the square.

Lu Yao took a closer look.

Hey, isn’t this the totem of praying to God used by an old acquaintance?

Anyway, he had already been struck by lightning once in the Donghe tribe, so he didn't feel any psychological burden in demolishing the second one.

Lu Yao clicked on the lightning in [Miracle] and started firing at the totem.

Lightning fell from the sky and disappeared without a trace when it approached the city.

[Because of the blessing of the god's totem, your miracle cannot take effect. 】

The totem's defense did not surprise Lu Yao. What surprised him was that after being struck by ten lightning bolts, the totem only had some cracks and was still standing.

He realized that totems might also have different levels.

The totems here are much more solid than those of the Donghe tribe.

Lu Yao glanced at the upper right corner.

Population: 401 Faith: 522 Faith ammunition is still available.

Isabel was watching, and the ghosts of Sanilo were watching too. As a god, his face was very important. On a larger scale, it was related to his future dignity and the firmness of the ghosts' faith.

Now that it has come to this, we must try to get it in one go.

Lu Yao clicked [Lightning] frantically.

Only then did he realize that there was a number behind the lightning.

It turns out that the amount of [Lightning] - or the intensity - can be selected at once.

Lu Yao pulled it to the maximum directly.

【Lightning】×25!

He locked the selected range above the totem and clicked the mouse.

A flashing blue arc of light lit up in the sky of the pixel world. These blue lights gathered into a lightning column in the air and blasted down on the prayer totem! This time it went smoothly. The totem was instantly turned into ashes, and a large charred area appeared at the location of the sculpture.

As the totem was shattered, the entire city of Sanilo cheered.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The curse is lifted!"

"Long live God Yao!"

"We have a new god!"

"Saniro is free!"

"Praise God Yao! Great God Yao!"

…

Mayor Chapman also had a smiley face symbol above his head.

He told Isabel: "On behalf of all the citizens of Sanilo, I sincerely thank the gods for their mercy and tolerance. From now on, we in Sanilo will believe in Yao and offer our faith and loyalty."

Commander Alex also knelt on one knee: "Loyal to God Yao!"

The soldiers behind him also followed his example and knelt down to show their allegiance.

"Be loyal to God Yao!"

"Be loyal to God Yao!"

At this time, Lu Yao stared at the upper right corner of the game interface.

Faith remained motionless, maintaining 22 points.

He was worried.

No way? Was he fooled? Just as he was worried, his faith value suddenly soared! His faith jumped directly from 22 points to 10,754 points! Lu Yao couldn't help but punched hard! We became brothers!

This is the fast-paced gameplay of "God Simulator". Look for large population groups everywhere, no matter whether they are human or not, as long as they have faith, they can be included in the army. This is called expanding the audience and external demand.

After recovering a little from the joy of getting rich overnight, Lu Yao noticed that the population of faith had also soared.

Population: 11,133 Faith: 10,754 Ghosts do have faith, and they are also considered believers.

Lu Yao moved the mouse to the population column.

A detailed list emerges below for the first time.

Ghosts make up the vast majority of the population, while living people have become a minority.

However, the next question arises.

How to deal with Saniro? Mayor Chapman made a request to Isabel: "Apostle, the residents of Saniro are all ghosts. Ordinary people cannot see ghosts. Ghosts can only be seen by ghosts or other special extraordinary beings."

“Normal urban development may no longer be suitable for Sanilor.”

"But ghosts have their benefits, too."

"We don't need food, we don't need to rest, and we have a long life. The more ghosts there are in Saniro, the stronger everyone will be... and higher-level ghosts will be born."

"Accidents often happen on the sea, so there are many dead souls. We want to connect them to Saniro, which will not only help us develop more believers for the gods, but also further expand the scale of the city."

This proposal was strongly affirmed and approved by Lu Yao.

There's something about this mayor, Chapman.

In the pixel world, population is the primary productive force! Lu Yao gave his own advice through Isabel.

——It is recommended to search in the desert, there should be many ghosts there. Also, along the desert all the way north, there are ghosts around the Garlic Tribe and in the forest.

Mayor Chapman saw that his opinion was affirmed, and a smiley face symbol appeared above his head: "Okay, okay, we will send soldiers to pick up these ghosts later."

Lu Yao had a plan in mind for the future development of the ghost town of Sanilo.

As the saying goes, old people use old methods, new people use new methods.

The ghosts of the dead people from the Garlic Tribe and the surrounding tribes enter Sanilo and continue to shine, contribute their faith, and build the world in another way after death.

The strength of the ghosts is also directly related to the size of the group, so it’s a win-win situation.

Perfect.
