Chapter 3 Sacrifice

Lu Yao placed the mouse on the [Sacrifice] slot.

It was a red creature, curled up, and looked like some kind of newly born animal.

[Garlic Tribe Baby: A sacrifice to the gods.]

Lu Yao's face twitched.

Sacrificing living people...is indeed in line with the primitive human habit of worshipping gods.

In "God Simulator", Lu Yao could not convey messages to the Garlic Tribe through the temple, nor could he predict how the pixel people would react.

He placed his mouse on [Sacrifice], wondering if he could reject it.

A line of words appeared on the screen.

——Would you like to accept the [Garlic Tribe Baby] offered by the believers?

--【whether】

Lu Yao nodded decisively.

If a baby suddenly appears in your family, there is no way to complain. The police might even come to you for questioning.

What's even more terrifying is that if the Garlic Tribe keeps sending babies, the family will have more and more babies. Just thinking about the milk powder and diapers that need to be purchased... Lu Yao is already numb.

My buddy is a god, not your tribe’s baby hygienist!

As Lu Yao denied the sacrifice, exclamation marks appeared over the heads of everyone in the Garlic Tribe.

"The gods are not pleased, the gods don't want babies!"

"I said don't use babies, it should be adults who can plant crops and pick fruits for the gods!"

"No, no, we need to use prey, the best prey. The Lord God will definitely like wild boars!"

"I think it's fish! Fish is the best, it's slippery and won't hurt people. God will definitely like it!"

"Go find a new sacrifice, a new sacrifice!"

…

Seeing the conversation between the pixel people, Lu Yao was a little amused.

But if they sent game or river food, they could have a midnight snack tonight. Although Lu Yao didn't cook much, he could still cook home-cooked dishes.

Except for five people, all the other garlic tribe members ran to the nearby forests, rivers and mountainous areas. They looked around, as if searching for something suitable as a sacrifice on the map.

Lu Yao noticed that there was a pixelated man who was a little different from the others.

This little man was one of the first seven believers. He was shirtless and barefoot. He stood outside the temple, looking up at the sky, with a question mark on his head.

Lu Yao placed the mouse on the question mark, and a bubble box popped up above the little man's head. There were many words in it, which seemed to be his inner thoughts.

"What kind of sacrifice does the God need? He doesn't need babies. Maybe he doesn't need human hands. He gave the tribe the magical garlic. There must be no shortage of food in the world where the God lives."

"The forest tribe desecrated the temple and was immediately punished by God with natural disasters. God must have great power that is hard for us to imagine. What we need is meaningless to God. So, God may only accept those magical things that we cannot understand and use."

The question mark above the pixel man’s head turned into a lit light bulb.

As if he understood something, he trotted into the dense forest.

Lu Yao looked a little surprised.

This little man's ability to think clearly surpassed those around him, as if he had awakened wisdom. Among all the people, he was the only one with a question mark above his head.

After a while, the question mark man ran out of the forest again, holding an object in both hands and ran into the temple.

Lu Yao opened the temple interface.

There is a small icon in the [Sacrificial Offering] slot. It looks like a short-handled cane made from a branch, and it has a simple appearance.

…

[Energy Cane]: Faith +1/hour, Energy 12/12 hours (charging speed 1/1 hour).

A treasure made by the God of the Forest that can absorb the vitality overflowing from nature. When the holder touches it, he can extract vigorous energy from it. It was lost after the God of the Forest fell.

…

——Would you like to accept the [Energy Cane] offered by the believers?

Lu Yao nodded [Yes].

The cane icon in the [Sacrifice] slot disappeared, and a short cane as long as a forearm appeared on the black keyboard on the computer desk.

Lu Yao's palms were a little sweaty.

Although he had already vaguely anticipated that the [Gift] could be transmitted to the pixel world through the temple, then in theory the [Sacrifice] could also be transmitted from that world.

But when this scene really became a reality before his eyes, he still held his breath involuntarily.

Lu Yao picked up the cane carefully.

It is not heavy and has the same weight as normal wood.

The surface of this short stick is covered with tree grains, but it feels smooth and delicate, as if it were covered with a layer of transparent paint. There are two short branches on the top of the stick, which looks a bit like a broken clothes drying pole. However, there are some small buds growing on its branches, giving people a feeling that it is still alive.

Holding the [Energy Cane], Lu Yao felt refreshed and all the aches and pains in his back and waist disappeared. It was as if he was back to the age of fourteen or fifteen, and after a night of gaming, he could be full of energy again.

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

Magic props in the pixel world also work in the real world! Lu Yao looked at the cane.

A line of words appeared on the [Energy Cane]: Energy 12/12 hours, in use.

In other words, as long as you hold this cane, you don't need to sleep in theory. You will never fall asleep at work or in class the next day! Lu Yao's heart surged.

Now, playing games all night is a luxury for him. Although Lu Yao is only 23 years old, he can clearly feel the changes in his body.

I am no longer the same as I was when I was a teenager. If I stay up an hour or two late and don’t get enough sleep, I’ll always yawn and feel sleepy the next day. Neither coffee nor Red Bull helps.

With the [Energy Cane], you can return to the peak of your energetic life!

He waved his cane excitedly for a while, then calmed down.

No, that's not the point...

But [Sacrifice] can really be brought out from the pixel game world.

There is no doubt that there are other magic items like [Energy Cane] in the pixel world. If they can be continuously sent out from the temple... then this game is an endless treasure trove.

Lu Yao just felt refreshed.

With the temple's ability to break the dimensional wall, it won't be long before I can get rid of the miserable life of working for a living, reach the peak of my life, and become an ideal gamer who is no longer strangled by the livelihood!

He turned his attention back to the game.

At this time, the pixel people all returned to the tribe, with smiley face symbols appearing above their heads.

"The gods like sacrifices, great, great!"

"So the God likes that kind of sacrifice. I will definitely find a better sacrifice!"

"I still think that wild boars are the best. The gods will definitely like wild boars. Wild boars are much more powerful than that branch!"

"Nonsense, fish is the best!"

"Wild boar!"

"fish!"

Lu Yao noticed that the little man who insisted on the wild boar and the little man who liked fish were both from the forest tribe who joined the garlic tribe. They were all wearing leather vests.

Forest tribes probably mainly engage in gathering and hunting. It is understandable that they believe that prey is the best gift.

Lu Yao looked back and forth between the little figures, trying to find the one who offered the [Energy Cane]. But these little figures looked exactly the same, with no names on their heads and no personal features, making it difficult to identify them.

In the end, Lu Yao found someone in the temple.

In the temple stood a shirtless and barefoot pixelated man, with a question mark above his head. He was the only thinker in the tribe.

A new message appears on the screen.

——A believer has developed wisdom. Does he need to be transformed into a prophet?

【whether】
