Chapter 393: Three Days in the Sky
The mud monkey Fahai is not a very aggressive type. Judging from its data panel, if it was really a bloodthirsty and violent type, it would have been discovered and captured by the apostles long ago.
So Lu Yao just let it go and let the mage Yanye guide Fahai in his practice.
The direct variable of this era update is the exposure of the pollution of the Omnipotent Stone, but the subsequent butterfly effect has spread to every corner of the world, with an impact far exceeding the previous two era changes.
Most of the feedback Lu Yao has received so far comes from the extraordinary group.
Whether they are apostles, prophets or heroes, their every move is watched and their voices are loud. But for the 1.88 million Yao people, they are just a minority at the top, not the majority.
Lu Yao raised the [Wishing Star] and began to understand the lives and thoughts of ordinary people.
Forty years later, a lucky star that people could pray to appeared in the sky again, allowing the pixelated people in every city and forest on the ground to look up and seize the rare opportunity to pray.
Isabel entered the blue planet and began to sort out her wishes.
The wishing star is like a small blue sun, slowly rotating in the air.
In the status bar above it, the number in [Prayer Time 12/100000] kept soaring.
199 418 1279 1993 ……
In less than 30 seconds, the prayer time was shown as full.
In the past, Lu Yao initially felt that there were too many wishes to accommodate, but now with the population growth, 100,000 wishes are actually equivalent to a sample survey of 5% of the total population.
In the dark space inside the Wishing Star, many stars are twinkling, with the brightest one in the center, and its size is also the largest among its peers.
Lu Yao clicked on the brightest star.
A long drop-down dialog box pops up above it.
"O God Yao, the omniscient and omnipotent, please give me a single furnace beast. This winter is too cold. (Flame 2)"
"I hope the flying Xuandeng Deformed Beast can come back. I really miss it. Oh, I am so stupid. I knew that when it snows, the wild beasts in the mountains have nothing to eat and will come to the village. I didn't know that there will be spring. The Xuandeng was scared and flew away... Damn wild dog, it deserves to eat shit for the rest of its life! (Flame 2)"
"Great God, the temperature in Yancheng Bathhouse is not high enough this year. Please bless us to find more suitable multi-furnace monsters, preferably the golden fire buffalo. It has strong firepower and is proud by nature. In its eyes, ordinary people are like babies. It will also protect the bathing guests... If we can find two of them, the budget for the bodyguards of the big bathhouse can also be saved! (Flame 12)"
"I want a Dulu beast, even if it's just to stay here for a while. The farmland is not fertile enough this year. If there is a Dulu beast, I can feed it dead leaves and weeds, and burn them into good ash to supplement the fertility. (Flame 2)"
"Lord Yaoshen, please bless me so that I can tame that wild fire carriage tomorrow. That guy is so handsome and a real strong man! (Flame 2)"
…
Everyone's biggest wish is to find and obtain the mutant beast.
This somewhat subverts Lu Yao's existing cognition.
The apostles clearly said that the mutated beasts brought many dangers to people and made the world order unpredictable. Specifically in the city, it caused the extraordinary industry to be downgraded and changed track... It was a disaster that swept the world.
Ordinary people, however, like and desire deformed beasts.
Lu Yao carefully read through the thousands of wishes, and the doubts in his mind were gradually answered.
Most people don’t have high demands on life. They just want to have enough food and clothing, and they would be even happier if they could have a little spare money.
The world was impacted by distortion and transformation. Ordinary people survived the initial fear and anxiety, and paid the price of death and injury... But they quickly adapted to the new life, because even in the past Yaocheng or Yancheng, life was not an easy thing.
Many people gradually discovered that deformed beasts are not that scary.
They are not some terrifying monsters that go on a killing spree.
Deformed beasts can also be afraid, and there are times when they become timid and run away. They are just wild beasts with bronze skin and iron bones, and whose lives turn into flames. They are no different from common wild sheep, bears, wild boars and wolves.
Ordinary people may not have as professional an understanding of mutant beasts as the extraordinary ones, but they believe that seeing is believing.
Deformed beasts are most wary of extraordinary people, but are more tolerant of ordinary people. This is like an elephant will be wary of and drive away lions, but allow sparrows to roam around them.
People gradually learned how to get along with the mutants: feed them dried leaves and weeds, and the mutants would hardly refuse. And as long as you provide these fuels, they will stay in the place, regardless of whether the people around them use them to keep warm or dry their wet clothes.
Until you can no longer provide fuel, the mutant will leave, very frankly.
Especially the Dulu beasts, as long as they are not provoked or frightened, their temperaments are no different from those of cattle and sheep.
To verify this, Lu Yao went around to check it out.
In the forest north of Yaocheng, he saw two hunters even frying fish with a Dulu beast.
"This smell won't be there if you use an iron pan or a stone pot. The back of the single furnace beast is the most evenly roasted, and the temperature rises quickly without burning."
"Of course... Listen to the sizzling sound and the pine leaves being smoked, it's authentic!"
One of the hunters held a branch in each hand with a fish pierced on each, flipping the roasted fish on the metal back of a brass one-furnace beast.
The Dulu beast was very cooperative and lay on the ground. Another hunter was waving a wooden rake, digging up leaves, dead branches and coal for the deformed beast to eat.
It was obvious that this was not the first time for the two of them to do this job, and they cooperated very well.
"Do you think it would be feasible for us to open a store like this?"
"Are you crazy? Now all cities think that the Deformed Beasts are dangerous, and you're still rushing over there. Do you want to go to jail?"
"That's all I said."
"But... we can have a barbecue outdoors, as long as it's not in the city. With our brothers' skills in grilling fish and meat, and our familiarity with the local Dulu beasts, it won't be a big problem. Some people just like this."
"Brother, let's do it! If we are late, we might lose our business!"
"I'll think about it."
…
Ordinary people who seem weak have the ability to withstand stress no less than extraordinary people.
Because they don't own much, they are more optimistic about life.
To some extent, ordinary people are often ahead of the elite in culture and life. The wisdom of the masses is not easily bound by theoretical rules and regulations. They do whatever is useful and beneficial.
Over time, those that are effective and beneficial are accepted by others and gradually become part of social customs.
Lu Yao looked through the wishes of the Yao people one by one, and his mood began to relax.
Through the [Wishing Star], he also discovered an unexpected surprise.
The red corals and mirages transplanted from Zhou Island recreated the wonder [Red Coral Mirage] at the port east of Yaocheng.
It took more than 50 years to complete the growth and expansion of this wonder only in the most patient Yaocheng. The White Castle, where the Red Coral and Mirage were first transplanted, was not completed due to too many projects and insufficient investment.
Yaocheng and Sanilo used the [Red Coral Mirage] as a link to complete the connection along the seabed along the coast. The outside of the coral was protected by layers of ceramic shells, like a huge wire pipe buried in the seabed.
This wonder can refract mirages and cooperate with the [Ghost Lighthouse] to transmit sound, completing the synchronous transmission of sound and images.
However, since red corals and mirages grow very slowly, with the current basic capabilities, it would be a huge project that would take hundreds of years to deploy them in other cities and connect the cities together.
It cannot be replicated in a short period of time.
Compared to Yancheng, where a zoo was opened and a prophet appeared, Yaocheng still follows a stable path. Everything is based on maintaining a stable living and religious environment, and it does not pursue radical creation and change.
But there are changes here too.
Apart from the red coral mirage connected to the ghost lighthouse, a green sun is suspended in the sky of the city.
With the addition of the existing sun and the blue wishing star that Lu Yao had not yet put away, an unprecedented three-sun sky appeared in the sky above Yaocheng.
The yellow, blue and green suns are arranged in order of height and size from top to bottom.
The residents of Yaocheng were in a stable mood. They were still pointing at the suns and comparing them with each other.
On the street, many pixelated people were chatting.
"I still think that God's wishing star is the most beautiful. It is the color of the sea and the sky, and most importantly, it can make wishes... other suns don't have this ability."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Although I am a loyal believer of Lord Yaoshen, I have to say that the golden sun is still the most beautiful. Other suns will set and hide, but the golden sun will not. It has been with everyone for so many years."
"I think the three suns each have their own highlights. Apart from anything else, they are quite beautiful. Only our Yao City has three suns. This is the style of the eldest son of the gods, hahahaha."
"...I like the green sun."
A pixelated man with the title of "Painter" said: "The blue sun is the wishing star given by Yao God, the golden sun is the original flame of the world, and only the green sun, although it is much smaller and cannot fly too high, is a masterpiece created by mankind."
His statement was recognized by many people.
"You're right. The [Crown of Light] is truly amazing."
"The Lantern Tribe is truly a magical race."
…
The Green Sun is a flying object formed by the distortion of the epic item [Corona].
It radiated a bright green light and was suspended in a not-so-high position above Yao City, much lower than the Wishing Star.
Today’s corona data panels are also different.
…
【Crown of Light LV3】: Faith +2/hour.
The Lantern Clan used all their strength to imitate the epic prop created by the sun. It moves regularly in the air, rising from the west and setting in the east.
HP: 2139/2139Mana : 1486/1486Damage : 1Defense : 1Speed: 20 [Epic]
【flight】
【Aberration】
【Praise the Sun】
When the light corona is in operation, all life within its radiation range will attain a state of [peace] and [joy].
Equipment required: Lantern family (1/1)
…
Lu Yao found out after checking the backend.
The trio of Deng Yuan, Deng Cheng and Deng Shi drove the Guang Crown to the Yao clan headquarters to travel around the world, but before they took off from Yao City, they encountered the pollution turbulence of the Omnipotent Stone, causing the Guang Crown to turn into a deformed beast.
These three members of the Lantern Clan accidentally became pilots and breeders of the Light Crown and were stranded in this city.
However, unlike other aberrations, the epic item Light Crown's instinct is to imitate the sun. It now implements this characteristic even more, rising and setting over Yaocheng every day, following the footsteps of the sun, like a fledgling learning to fly from a big bird.
The light crown comes with [Praise the Sun], which makes life near Yao City peaceful and joyful. The development of the entire city is also more peaceful. Even the deformed beasts are lazy and less aggressive. People living in Yao City and its vicinity have become more or less kind and open-minded.
In the Third Era, the current situation of the fragmented world seemed to have reappeared yesterday.
Yancheng continues to forge ahead and strive to reach the upper limit, while Yaocheng maintains a stable situation and maintains the lower limit.
…
After making sure that the Yao people had adapted well to the new era, Lu Yao stood up, stretched his arms and twisted his waist.
As soon as he took his eyes off the screen, the map in his mind became clear again.
Population is the body. The population growth of the virtual universe has exceeded one million. He can already rely on his body to sense some subtle anomalies in the real universe.
The most direct change was that a strange map appeared in his mind. This map radiated in all directions with Lu Yao himself as the center point.
He could feel that there was a small red dot in the space not far in front of him, and there were other red dots with stronger reactions further away. These red dots gave him a dangerous and familiar feeling.
Lu Yao opened the electronic map and marked each place on the map according to his own perception.
The most recently marked red dot is actually within this community.
Lu Yao walked to the window inside and looked at the red dot area - according to his mental perception, it was in the shed for electric bikes and bicycles below.
Why does it feel familiar?
Lu Yao opened the committee’s official website, clicked on the latest Wasteland Notice No. 4, and compared it with the latest map.
The red dot area is almost identical to the committee's marking of Wasteland No. 4! There are only slight errors in certain locations, but the overall direction is consistent.
Lu Yao immediately understood that population growth allowed him to sense the interference and overlapping areas of the real universe in real time.
Is there more overlap in Wasteland 4, or is there a shift?
This place is too close to me.
Do you want to send someone to check the carport?
If it was Slemmod's clone, even if something happened inside, at most it would lose a limb and some blood.
After careful consideration, Lu Yao decided to consult Song Shiyi first.
Every profession has its own expertise, so please consult professionals first.
