Chapter 428 A Great Harvest
Lu Yao glanced at his phone, which was still counting down.
From the time he descended into the abyss of the virtual universe to the time he returned to the bed in the real universe, one day passed in the pixel world, but it took less than three seconds here.
This is probably what the ancients felt when they thought of a yellow millet dream.
However, the body and consciousness's perception of time has not changed. In other words, by using the body of the intelligent insect, the brain's movement at a certain level has actually reached the amount of one day. The fatigue that is fed back to the brain is very clear.
Lu Yao had reason to doubt.
If the god players stay in the virtual universe where time is relatively faster for a long time, they will actually continue to age there.
This kind of aging may not be immediately reflected in the body, but it is more of a fatigue and slowness caused by the operation of the brain and the continuous accumulation of memories.
In other words, just like the game of life, when you first start playing, there are surprises everywhere, and children as new players always have smiles on their faces.
Adults who are veteran players are rushing to download various copies to make money, and are gradually losing their initial joy and novelty.
The older, veteran players have entered another cycle.
They have experienced many dungeons and version updates, and many of their former teammates have parted ways or disappeared. A large number of memories and past events have made them gradually realize that everything they had as new players is the most precious...
Lu Yao gathered his thoughts and turned his attention back to the simulator.
Before leaving, he summoned a giant of divine descent to beat Hu Yizi to the point of severely injuring him, and captured him. The subsequent interrogation was handed over to Bai Shenlai.
By the time Lu Yao sat in front of the computer, the joint interrogation in Sifang City had been basically completed.
This time the ability of the intelligent insect came in handy. It used its ability of [Eating Wisdom] to continuously plunder and weaken Hu Yizi's intelligence, and also made the demigod who was still resisting stubbornly gradually become dazed and slowly reveal the truth.
"...A giant vortex world was born near my kingdom of God, and my kingdom of God was swept away. I spent a lot of faith to drive my kingdom of God away from danger, but I was also seriously injured. Later, it was attacked by another god. After repelling him, my kingdom of God was on the verge of collapse."
"So I participated in the 'Winner's Gamble' initiated by the God of Greed. As long as I can win, I can get the chips of all participants, and also get a lot of faith fire given by the God of Greed to the winner."
The winner's gambling game invites many gods to participate, but participants need to use the fire of faith, props or other high-value objects as collateral in exchange for chips. The chips will be exchanged for various strategic resources in the gambling game, allowing participants to allocate them independently.
Each participant will send an apostle as an agent to participate in the entire gambling game.
The agent needs to enter the ownerless world designated by the God of Greed, explore and master various wonders, guide the local indigenous people and develop local civilization. In the end, the remaining civilization will be considered the winner.
It is worth mentioning that apostles cannot directly participate in wars between civilizations. Their combat capabilities will be sealed when they enter, and it is more of a competition of brains and chips.
There are many ways to become a winner, such as conquering others, being the first to surpass other civilizations by two eras, or collecting the vast majority of wonders...
The more chips you have, the higher the tolerance rate; the fewer chips you have, the more challenging your operation will be.
In a winner bet, there is only one winner and everyone else is a loser.
Hu Yizi also belongs to the majority group.
But this time he gambled big, exchanging the kingdom of God and his own freedom as chips, with the goal of turning the tables with a single go.
"There is no other way! I have no other choice! I can only gamble, I must gamble! If I don't gamble, I will lose!"
Words appeared above Hu Yizi's head: "I just had bad luck, luck was not on my side... so I lost everything, became a follower of the God of Greed, and became His lowest servant. Why wasn't I the winner! All this is unfair to me!"
Lu Yao remembered the message from the God of Darkness.
"A fool who lost his own bet", this evaluation is very pertinent.
This winner's gamble is somewhat similar to the low-dimensional game, but I don't know who learned from whom.
"…After becoming a member of the Familiar, I was stripped of my godhood and entered various worlds to spread the Golden Plate Ceremony and cultivate soil for the spread of faith for the God of Greed."
"Then the world I was in was occupied by the God of Darkness, and I was dragged into the abyss... The world had nothing but endless malice towards me! Damn it, they all deserved to die!"
Hu Yizi, who was in a daze, was furious.
After entering the fifth level of the abyss, Hu Yizi occupied the stable.
The ability of this wonder is to convert humans and horses into centaur cavalry, and it can produce a large number of highly mobile warriors in a short period of time, which also laid the foundation for Hu Yizi's frequent expeditions.
As time goes by, the three-way balance of power on the fifth level becomes more and more stable.
Noland, the strongest, expanded steadily with the help of the Mage Tower. Stoke in the west relied on Ertang Galan and Galan's protector to dominate the area. Hu Yizi could only attack the remaining demigods and monsters.
In order to weaken and harass Norland and Stoke, he returned to his old ways and used the Golden Plate Ceremony to create Golden Plate Merchants. He directed the merchants to sell fake goods as good ones, disrupting the trading market on the fifth floor.
The more chaos there is, the more opportunities there are.
The "bronze mask" worn by Hu Yizi is also a symbol of the lineage of the God of Greed. The apostles and followers of the God of Greed all appear in front of others with masks, representing that their functional identity is superior to their personal identity.
Lu Yao also obtained this prop.
…
[Bronze Mask]: Faith +1/hour, possesses the [Anonymous] feature.
A treasure made by the god of greed.
…
[Anonymous]: The holder's identity will be unrecognizable. This is effective for gods below the main god.
…
It is a very practical thing.
He dropped it into the inventory.
In addition to the bronze mask, Hu Yizi also has three combat props.
…
[Golden Jar LV8]: Faith +4/hour.
An ancient wine vessel carved with gold ornaments. Pour the wine into it and let it sit. After drinking it, you will gain the [Brave] state for a period of time.
…
[Brave]: Not easily affected by negative status, and has a certain chance to cause combo damage.
…
The Golden Jar is highly correlated with Hu Yizi's [alcoholism] and his unique ability [Drunken Tiger].
It's his matching equipment.
A glass of wine before the battle can bring a lot of benefits to Hu Yizi.
…
【Golden Gourd Hammer LV9】: Damage +18, Speed -2.
A pair of powerful golden pumpkins that require great courage to use. There is a certain probability of causing [Fear] when attacking.
Equipment required: Damage 100 ...
[Vulture Tiger Bronze Talisman LV7]: Faith +1/hour, Attack +15, Speed +15, HP +460. Summon the vulture tiger to obtain [Bloodthirster].
…
[Bloodthirster]: Being injured will make him excited and his morale will be high.
…
Lu Yao smiled when he saw this.
After the ghost white horse, the second mount item was obtained.
Hu Yizi's props are consistent with his personal style, all of which are full-point attacks, stacking the damage capacity to crush the enemy through swift offensive.
However, he could not escape the vicious circle of the warmongerer: he had to constantly launch wars, constantly win victories, and use war to support war. Once he was defeated, that would be the time of his destruction.
Now, Hu Yizi, whose brain was eaten, has become the hunting dog of the wise insect, who has tamed it and is making use of its remaining energy.
Of the Big Three on the fifth tier, only Stoke is left.
The reputation of this black-hearted duke is extremely polarized.
Lu Yao clicked to view the background, used [Find and Replace] to search for [Stock], and was able to find real-time comments from many pixelated people on the fifth floor.
"You want to go to the Ertang Garan? You're amazing. The Blackhearted Duke's thick soup is mixed with a lot of strange things. It is said that there are also feces and swill in it."
“…No way?”
"Otherwise why is he called the Blackhearted Duke? He does evil things. Do you think he is a good person?"
…
"The Second Hall is a very strange place. I heard that many people became monks there. If they drink the soup, they can't leave there and will turn into a blood bag of a vampire!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I was planning to go over and get something to eat... but forget it."
"Even if you want to die of starvation, don't go there. Otherwise, why do people leave after a short time? You want to eat, but they want your blood."
…
Although the little pixel man verbally criticized Ertang Galan, he would still go there to drink soup when he was hungry.
It seemed that cursing and hating the Black-Hearted Duke had become a fifth-level consensus and correctness.
However, Butterfree, Noland, Haizhe and Zhichong had high opinions of Stock.
“Stock is a clear-headed man of action who knows exactly what the territory needs.”
"He is a smart operator who is very good at using panic to create momentum and build a specific image. The external image of fear and cruelty is the atmosphere he deliberately created."
"Stock has a better overall view than Hu Yizi."
“He is a well-balanced leader with excellent judgment.”
…
Lu Yao checked the second hall.
On the screen, this wonder looks like a ruined monastery, divided into two parts in the northeast and the south, and is L-shaped as a whole.
…
[Ertang Garan]: A small wonder built by monks. The complete structure is a seven-hall Garan, which records the past monks' practice life and their connection with gods and the secular world.
【canteen】
A place that gives alms to hungry beings. Continuous operation will trigger [Galan Guardian] and condense the remaining power of the world's rules into an omnipotent stone.
【Public Hall】
A place for meditation, practice and rest. Practitioners who practice in the hall for a long time will be transformed into [monks], and receive blessings and enlightenment from [Galan Guardian] here, and have a certain probability of comprehending new abilities. After a monk dies here, his body will condense into an omnipotent stone symbolizing practice.
【Galan Guardian】
This wonder is protected by the guardian deity of the temple, whose ability is related to the number of temple halls and monks.
…
This wonder is of the resource-producing type.
It requires good operational capabilities for the holder to transform manpower and food into high-level talented monks and the all-powerful stone of strategic resources.
Stock is not a demigod, but he can maintain one of the four wonders with the least number of people and compete with Noland and Hu Yizi. This is a manifestation of his ability.
Lu Yao asked Baishen to recruit Stoke and incorporate him into the Four Kingdoms system.
After giving the order, he set his sights on one last wonder.
Man stables.
This wonder is located on the plain and is shaped like a stable made of thatch and wooden boards, surrounded by a tight fence.
…
[Centaurs Stable]: A wonder built by the Centaurs based on their ancestral land, which retains some of the abilities of the ancestral land. Horses and humans can transform into Centaurs through the stable.
[Creating Cavalry]
By consuming an omnipotence stone and fodder, you can transform a human or a horse into a centaur.
【Human and Horse Training】
Through extensive training, the Centaur Cavalry is given the ability to [Run Fast].
…
[Sprint]: Enter a continuous acceleration state for a short period of time, and the damage caused will also be greatly increased. It will take some time before it can be used again.
…
In comparison, the Stable is the fastest wonder to cash out, and can quickly gain considerable combat power. However, it also requires basic resources such as Omnistone, fodder, and people or horses to pull out a team of cavalry.
Last but not least, Bartfred personally led a team to the Duel Forest and began to eliminate the head-tail insects that were squeezed out of the Duel Forest.
After Lu Yao transformed all four wonders, the number of Apostle Seals became 13.
After a moment, a long-lost prompt appeared on the simulator.
【There was resonance and fusion between the wonders.】
The four wonders all became glittering with white light, and all the people and objects in them were squeezed out.
They were like four meteors, flying into the sky and forming a small city.
Subtitles appeared on the screen.
【The miniature empire emerges. 】
[In this world, its immortal flame and history are brought to light again. ]
[Many lives in the abyss are in awe and worship you, and their faith has been improved in all aspects. 】
[The Yao people developed a curiosity and yearning for the miniature empire.]
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
As an immortal wonder, the [Stork Fish Mayfly Jar], one of the [Pottery Jar Burial], descended on the world of the Continent Island, without any such series of prompts and faith feedback. The miniature empire seemed to be unusual.
He glanced at the upper right corner.
This immortal wonder directly brought 4.2 million supplies of Fire of Faith, plus the 6.1 million previously donated by Noland, a total of 10.3 million faiths, which gave Lu Yao a lot of blood back.
Combined with the fire of faith brought by the natural growth of the Yao clan, the reserves of faith reached 29.33 million.
Lu Yao began to read the detailed description after [Miniature Empire].
A look of joy gradually appeared on his face.
Crystal construction technique... this thing is quite powerful.
