Chapter 5: Hero Awakens

Lu Yao clicks [Yes].

White light lit up on the two pixel men, and the title of "Hero" suddenly appeared above their heads.

What made Lu Yao happy was that after the prophet, the heroic characters could also be guided and operated.

He selected certain places, and the two heroes would explore and patrol that area. Compared to the prophet who liked to use thinking, the hero was better at exploring and field investigation.

In addition, by repeatedly clicking on the two pig and fish brothers, you will enter a more detailed character interface.

There are two male heroes in this interface. The hero who likes pigs is muscular, and the hero who likes fish looks slender and flexible. They are both wearing the same leather vest and no other equipment.

…

【Hero Lv1】Fisherman

Attack 1 Defense 1 Knowledge 0 Mana 0 Luck 1 Morale 0 ...

【Hero Lv1】Hunter

Attack 2 Defense 1 Knowledge 0 Mana 0 Luck 0 Morale 0 ...

The Pig and Fish brothers used to be fishermen and hunters.

Their panel data is a bit mixed, but after all, they are heroes awakened from ordinary pixel men, so we can't ask for too much.

What about the prophet?

Lu Yao clicked on the prophet continuously, and the character interface was opened as expected.

The prophet's portrait shows him shirtless, looking up at the sky.

…

[Prophet Lv1] Farmer

Attack 0 Defense 0 Knowledge 3 Mana 0 Luck 0 Morale 0 [Ability]

Wisdom Lv1: Wisdom is the key for the Apostle to listen to the will of God. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and comprehend various abilities.

…

Compared to the Pig and Fish brothers, the Prophet has a special ability [Wisdom].

Lu Yao placed the mouse on the six attributes, and the function of each attribute was displayed on the screen.

Attack: Each attack point increases the damage of all members of the hero unit by 3%.

Defense: Each point of defense increases the health of all members of the hero team by 3%.

Knowledge: Each point of knowledge increases maximum mana by 10 points and daily mana regeneration by 1 point.

Mana: Each point of mana increases spellcasting effect by 5% and reduces spell cooldown by 4%.

Luck: Every 1 point of luck gives all members of the hero unit a 4% chance to double attack, triggering random beneficial events.

Morale: Every 1 point of morale gives each member of the hero unit a 4% chance to enter a high morale state. In the high morale state, the movement speed is doubled and the attack speed is doubled, which lasts for 10 seconds.

After seeing the descriptions of these six attributes, Lu Yao had a general idea in his mind.

This is very similar to the Heroes of Might and Magic series. It seems that in the future, both the prophet and the hero will be able to lead soldiers into combat.

The Garlic Tribe had a sparse population, and production was still in the early stages of primitive manual farming. They had not invented farm tools, had no smelting, and had not mastered the production of weapons. It would take some time for professional soldiers to emerge.

Lu Yao selected the Pig and Fish brothers and asked them to explore the forest together.

At present, we can only rely on two single heroes. I hope they can have some good luck.

A few minutes later, the Pig and Fish brothers really got something in the forest.

"Found the settlement of the forest tribe!"

"The forest tribes recognize our beliefs, acknowledge that we are also the people of God, and are willing to communicate with us."

"We were entertained, and they wanted to trade hides and meat for garlic from the tribe."

Lu Yao asked them to return to the tribe and meet the prophet.

After learning about the demands of the forest tribes, the prophet fell into deep thought.

"Should we tell the Forest Tribe about the black bear? The Garlic Tribe is still very weak. If we trade with the Forest Tribe now, we may be attacked by the devil's followers."

"But this is also an opportunity for the tribe to reach out to the outside world, to trade for the leather and meat we lack, and to establish good relations with the forest tribes."

“It’s a really hard choice.”

Lu Yao chose the prophet and moved him directly into the forest.

Development is the bottom line.

If the tribe wants to avoid being attacked, it must seize every opportunity to develop rapidly. Otherwise, after the forest tribe is wiped out, the devil believers will turn around and deal with the garlic tribe. Now is the time to miss the opportunity.

An exclamation mark appeared above the prophet's head.

"I have come to the forest without knowing it. It seems that this is the will of the gods. The gods think that we should unite with the forest tribes. Let's do this."

The prophet entered the woods, and a pixel man came out to greet him. The pixel man was wearing a leather vest, which was also the symbol of the forest tribe.

A path was opened in the forest, leading to another tribal settlement deep in the forest. On the computer screen, the observable boundary expanded further outward.

Lu Yao saw it very clearly from a God’s perspective.

The forest tribe appears to number hundreds of people, living in various tree houses in the forest.

Unlike the Garlic Tribe where the villains do everything, the Forest Tribe has two clear professions.

Farmers specialize in growing berries and mushrooms, and trade food with others.

Hunters used snares and wooden spears to catch birds, hares, and monkeys, trading their kills with farmers and using their hides to make leather.

Normally, farmers would stay in the tribe and tend their berry bushes and mushroom fields, while hunters would go deep into the forest or into the neighboring mountains to look for various prey.

The leader of the forest tribe is called the Shaman, who wears a wooden mask. The Shaman and the Prophet have been talking, but the conversation is not displayed on the screen. It seems that the two little figures have opened a private chat channel.

About ten minutes later, several messages suddenly appeared on the game interface one after another.

[The prophet told the forest tribe about the attack by the demon followers, and the attitude of the forest tribe became friendly.]

[The prophet taught the forest tribe how to grow and use garlic, and the forest tribe's attitude became close.]

[The gift is completely completed, and garlic is integrated into the world. ]

[The Forest Tribe and the Garlic Tribe have successfully formed an alliance, and your faith will spread in the Forest Tribe. ]

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

Lu Yao felt slightly relieved.

The prophet's actions have been successful one after another.

With hundreds of people in the forest tribe, there is always a chance to gain a few believers, which are the sources of faith that Lu Yao currently needs.

The alliance gave the Garlic Tribe a reliable trading partner.

Most importantly, the [Gift] has also been completed.

He quickly opened the temple interface.

As expected, the [Gift] slot was emptied.

In other words, now we can transmit something over to provide remote support to the Garlic Tribe.

Lu Yao was excited for a few seconds and then fell into deep thought.

What exactly does the Garlic Tribe need most at the moment?

Word?

Ironware?

pottery?

food?

…

Lu Yao was playing with the [Energy Cane] in his hand, and all kinds of ideas popped up in his mind. Each of them seemed to be useful and important to the Garlic Tribe.

Just when he was having trouble making a choice, another line of subtitles appeared on the computer screen.

[The forest tribe offered a sacrifice to thank you for the gift of garlic.]

The second sacrifice! Lu Yao quickly opened the temple.

A green plant appears in the [Sacrifice] slot, and it looks like a cactus.

…

[Cactus Follower]: Faith +1/hour.

Loyal servants of the gods, they obey the orders of the gods and are responsible for cleaning and offering sacrifices in the forest temple. They are a group of reliable and hardworking elves. Usually they are in the form of cacti, but they will become servants in front of the gods.

…

Lu Yao was stunned.

Alive?

He quickly took out the [sacrifice].

In a flash, a round cactus appeared on the keyboard.

It looked to be about the size of Lu Yao's fist, and its appearance was no different from the cacti on the market, with a plump green sphere covered with thorns.

Suddenly, the cactus began to sway slowly and grew slender green arms and legs.

It bent its knees, placed its round body (or head) on the table, and knelt down to Lu Yao solemnly.

Lu Yao tried to say, "Can you clean?"

The cactus follower still knelt on the ground and nodded.

"Then clean the floor here."

The cactus follower received the order, jumped down from the table, landed gracefully and steadily, and then started running on the ground. It trotted on the ground, sweeping away the dust, hair and debris on the floor wherever it went.

These clumps of dust and garbage are adsorbed on the surface of the cactus, where they are gathered together and compressed into a ball.

It was like a small biological vacuum cleaner, quickly cleaning the floor spotlessly, even sweeping out the debris and old dirt in the cracks. The old-fashioned floor tiles with cracks shone brightly, as if they had been waxed and maintained at a 4S shop.

Lu Yao crossed his legs, opened a bottle of Coke he bought yesterday, and watched the cactus work, feeling inexplicably comfortable.

So this is the joy of God.
