Chapter 298 Lamp Maker
Harrow doesn't know much about the rules of the world.
It is not a starter and does not provide any practical step-by-step assistance.
Lu Yao could only try them one by one by himself.
He first tried the [Banquet Bird].
In this gravel world, King Wuji is still leading the Wuji people to dig and collect the omnipotent stone, and many places in the world are full of holes.
Lu Yao found the term "death" in the background, and filtered out the related words "ghost" and "dead". However, in these secondary phrases, there was no description or definition of the underworld or one-way anchoring.
For comparison and verification, Lu Yao checked two other worlds. The Yunzhong Temple and Yao Clan worlds also had no relevant records.
He came to a preliminary conclusion: the one-way anchoring of many worlds pointing to the underworld, and the passage to the underworld through which ghosts enter, are hidden deeper in the rules of the world.
Either even the Lord God cannot change this rule, or the relevant description has been hidden in some clever way.
No matter which one it is, Lu Yao has no way to deal with it at the moment.
He couldn't help but think.
It would be nice if the ghosts could choose a gathering place... just like the soldiers in the barracks of a strategy game who have completed training will be assigned to gather at the training ground.
yes.
You can use this method! You can't touch the underworld channel and one-way anchor, but you can start with the ghost entry.
Lu Yao immediately began to write rules in the background of the [Yanke Bird] world.
He added a new command under the [Ghost] entry.
——All ghosts will temporarily stay in [Sado Tower].
This instruction was vague and focused on testing the basic mechanism. Creating new rules consumed 20,000 points of faith.
Lu Yao clicked OK and waited for the rules of the world to operate.
About half an hour later, a ghost really appeared next to the Shadu Tower at the bottom of the Banquet Bird World. However, the ghost only stayed for about two seconds and immediately disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yao was greatly excited.
it works!
He made revisions and constantly compared the rules with their actual effects, and found that if he wanted the ghost to stay for a very short time, a vague description would be more stable and feasible.
If you forcibly set a precise time, this rule will be difficult to operate stably and will show [Invalid] after a while.
After conducting more than a dozen experiments in the Yanke Bird World, Lu Yao summed up two experiences.
Experience 1: The number of ghosts that use the world to transfer is extremely small.
He observed for a total of nearly three hours, and there were only four ghosts passing by. Each one flashed in front of the Sadhu Tower symbolically and then disappeared immediately.
Experience 2: Ghost settlement is much more difficult than expected, and the conversion rate is extremely low.
None of the 4 passing ghosts stopped.
Although Lu Yao had anticipated the difficulties, the severity and difficulty of the actual situation still made him a little worried.
Is this plan really not feasible? He ordered half a box of egg tarts for takeout and asked Harrow for advice on food.
"The gravel world is weak, so there are fewer ghosts."
The three-headed dog licked the egg tart and said, "The bigger the world, the stronger the power of rules. If you want to recruit passing ghosts, you need a large kingdom of God to do it. The transfer and transmission of ghosts will be concentrated in the larger world, so that the power of rules can give full play to the one-way anchoring effect."
Lu Yao suddenly realized.
It turns out it has something to do with the world itself.
He changed his target and chose Yunzhong Temple as the testing site, which is also the largest world that Lu Yao controls.
Lu Yao was pleasantly surprised to find that the number of ghosts had indeed increased.
He set the command location at the edge of an artificial lake, and ghosts appeared from time to time. Their number far exceeded that of the banquet birds. In just half an hour, 10 ghosts passed by.
Most ghosts still leave in a flash, but a few will stay for a while.
They usually look around, as if finding nothing special here, and then disappear.
Lu Yao made further adjustments and changed the marked location to under the Sand City Ghost Lighthouse.
This had an immediate effect.
More ghosts appeared and hesitated nearby.
Most of them eventually left. Only one ghost stood under the lighthouse for a long time, looking up at the top of the lighthouse, as if full of curiosity and reluctance.
Lu Yao checked the details.
…
[Light Family LV2] Light Ride
HP: 16/ 16Mana: 1/ 1Damage: 1Defense : 1Speed: 3 [Avoid]
【Lamp Maker】
Good at making various shapes of lamp products.
…
This ghost from the Lantern Clan has a strange appearance. It is a translucent little man with a silver metallic luster and a dim flame on its head.
The lantern looked up at the green bonfire on top of the ghost lighthouse, seemingly longing.
It took two steps forward and then stopped.
Ghosts come and go around it, but it is the only one that cannot make up its mind.
You can't interfere at this time.
Harrow emphasized that the ghosts must stay voluntarily. When in a one-way anchored ghost channel, only the navigator who controls the rules of the world can briefly see their traces, and no one else, not even the gods, can find them.
However, once the Navigator comes into direct contact with them, it will destroy the stability of the channel, causing it to be temporarily closed or collapsed, resulting in unpredictable chaotic consequences, which will not be worth the cost.
Lu Yao had no intention of intervening directly.
If I want to attract passing ghosts, I, as the initiator, need to persuade them one by one, that would be too tiring.
Show the treatment of Sand City ghosts. Those who are interested will consider staying, but those who are not willing will not be forced.
After half an hour of mental struggle, Deng Cheng stepped into the ghost lighthouse.
Lu Yao couldn't help but wave his fist.
The first one, get it!
At Lu Yao's signal, Slemode quickly appeared next to Deng Cheng.
"Welcome, guest from afar. I am the mayor of this city. This is the Ghost Lighthouse, a must-have place for ghosts to rest at home. The living environment is spacious and comfortable. You can choose a place as a private room."
Slymod picked up a thick leather book beside him. "Books like this are synonymous with knowledge and elegance, and have always been the favorite dwellings of ghosts."
"Don't like it? How about this?"
He grabbed another oil lamp next to him and said, "This is the oil lamp invented by the prophet Yaoshao. It has a brass lamp base, a glass lampshade, and is filled with magic oil. The flame lasts for a long time, and the fragrance is elegant... After being carefully polished by a skilled craftsman, it has both texture and warmth."
A red heart appeared above Dengcheng's head and he nodded.
"Then from today on, this will be your private room. Please keep it safe."
Slymod handed the oil lamp to the other party, and then said: "In the ghost lighthouse of Sand City, there is no compulsory obligation. But if you want to have more fun in life, or show your talents, and realize your ideals or goals, Sand City will give every contributor a well-deserved generous reward..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"You are tired after the long journey, so please take a rest first."
Slymod was about to leave.
Deng Cheng finally spoke: "I can make lanterns. Lamps that are much better than the one I have in my hand."
"Oh? What materials do you need? I can prepare them for you."
"I need metal. Copper, iron, gold, or silver will do. Gold and silver are best. I also need a hammer and pliers, an anvil, and leather. This thing called glass is thinner than crystal. It's very useful..."
As Deng Cheng was talking, he suddenly sighed.
"I forgot. Now I can't be a lamp. I'm dead."
"Death is another beginning."
Slymod introduced: "Then, how about trying the [Ghost Armor] made by the Yao Clan? As long as you put on this set of armor, you can be as agile and mobile as when you are alive, and use any tool without any problem."
“Is there such a thing?”
A huge question mark appeared above Deng Cheng’s head.
"Of course, you'll know after trying it."
After putting on the ghost armor, a black exclamation mark popped up on Deng Cheng's head: "Incredible... Unimaginably sophisticated armor has such a miraculous power, like resurrection from the dead!"
Slymod added: "You are very lucky. As the first Lantern Clan to join Sand City, this set of armor is a welcome gift to Sand City. I hope you like it."
"I like it, I like it very much! Mr. Mayor... This must be very precious, right?"
"It is nothing compared to the kindness and friendship of Sand City."
"Mayor, I'll make the lights now. I have my own abilities!"
Deng Cheng immediately started making lamps.
Slymod's clone brought the necessary materials and tools one by one, and the lamp maker immediately devoted himself to the production process...
A few minutes later, a spherical lamp emerged from the hands of the armored lamp-driver.
It looks like a big glass ball with a claw-like iron rod underneath and a long hemp rope connected to the bottom.
After nightfall, the lantern driver brought it to the open space next to the lighthouse and gently pulled the rope. The ball lantern floated up, creating a warm white light in the air, making the surrounding residents of the sand city look up at it.
Lu Yao clicked on the item.
…
[Hanging Lantern]: An exquisite prop made by the Lantern Clan, which can float high in the air and provide stable lighting.
HP: 1220/1220 ...
Kongming lantern? Lu Yao immediately discovered that there was more to it than that.
It is incredibly bright, and this hanging lamp alone can illuminate the entire ghost lighthouse.
Lu Yao observed for a while and found that the health of the hanging lamp decreased by 1 point every second, which represented its durability.
"What a pity. Even with so many excellent and abundant materials, and even the omnipotent stone, the hanging lamps I made are still not as good as those made by excellent lamp makers..."
A sighing expression appeared on Dengcheng's head.
Slymod smiled and said, "You are already amazing! Sand City has never had such a device before. A high-altitude flying lantern that emits such dazzling light. It is an amazing skill."
Deng Cheng turned his head and smiled: "Thanks to the omnipotent stone you provided, I made up for the lack of my crafting ability."
"Originally, the Lantern Clan had to hold the string to keep the hanging lantern floating in the air, but now even if it is tied to the side, it can remain stable and suspended. This is all due to the power of the Omnipotent Stone."
It also said: "The most skilled master of the Lantern Clan can create a [Sky Lantern] that moves in the sky."
"In the world where the Lantern Clan lives, there is no sun. We need to rely on sky lanterns for lighting to resist the monsters in the black fog. Before I died, the master had not appeared for a long time. We could only repair the old sky lanterns and continue to use them. They often malfunctioned after aging, sometimes bright and sometimes dim..."
"Sky lanterns also need to be replaced every seven days. This is the most dangerous time. Everyone must hold on to their own lanterns tightly and don't let them be blown out by the fog beasts."
"I was killed by the fog beast after the lights went out."
When talking about his own experience, Deng Cheng's face showed frustration again.
“If only there was still sunshine in my hometown.”
Lu Yao's heart moved.
Sky lantern?
Artificial sun? It sounds like the lamp tribe has entered a very advanced stage in the lamp-making industry, which is related to the special local environment.
Slymod asked, "What about the god of the Lantern Tribe? Doesn't he care about you?"
“God…”
Deng Cheng was silent for a moment: "Many epochs ago, I heard that the god of "Mist Harbor" "Firefly God" fought with the World Pot and was trapped in the black fog. No matter how much we prayed, he couldn't hear us... Not long after, an alien god stole our sun."
"The Lantern Clan is an abandoned clan."
Lu Yao rubbed the hot water bottle in his hand.
There are gods who have abandoned their believers, such as Yuncuike, and the previous Qishen is also one of them.
But this is the first time I have heard of a god fighting with a pot and a god breaking into a house and stealing the sun.
