Chapter 867: Pay for what you do
On a holiday, Lu Yao had dinner with his two college roommates.
Zhou Qiang was basically the same as always, he had gotten used to his work in the community and even had a girlfriend, Lin Jie. He showed everyone the photos on his phone, a very cute girl who liked to give the thumbs-up to the camera.
"She works at the funeral home outside the north gate as a mortician, which means she puts makeup on the dead."
When he said this, Zhou Qiang was gnawing on a piece of pork ribs.
Another roommate, Huang Yibo, exclaimed: "It's a good unit, it's a public institution under the civil affairs department, it's stable."
"It's just that the workplace is in a bad location, too far from the city."
Zhou Qiang was annoyed: "It's hard to get a taxi there. Didi drivers are unwilling to go there. Most of the time, she lives in the dormitory of the company."
"Lin Jie has a strange hobby... Lu Yao, I mentioned it to you before."
He sighed, "She likes to put makeup on me, especially in the middle of the night when I am asleep. She will put makeup on me, and then take it off for me. At this time, she will be very excited and her face will be flushed with excitement."
"I exposed her before, and she said she was just practicing her skills. I think, she is already a professional, why does she need to use my face to put on makeup... It feels a bit weird, exciting, but also a bit perverted."
"Besides that, she seldom smiled since I met her. She said it was a professional habit and that she must not smile while working, otherwise she might be beaten by the family members. Over time, she developed a serious expression."
"Anyway, there's a feeling that something is wrong."
Lu Yao couldn't comment.
Zhou Qiang’s ex-girlfriend is Yu Yao, who eats raw fish, and his current girlfriend is Lin Jie, who loves to put makeup on him in the middle of the night.
Although everyone's hobbies are different... Lu Yao has never seen such a situation before.
Huang Yibo adjusted his glasses and said, "I think it's okay. Modern people are under a lot of pressure. My supervisor would worship Guan Gong before starting every project. He asked for a consecrated Guan Gong statue to be placed in the office and asked us to worship together. He said that 30% of the project depends on hard work and 70% is determined by fate."
"He also raised a fortune tree and asked us to take good care of it, saying that feng shui is very important. He said that last year a professor next door had his fortune tree doused with boiling water, and then something went wrong and he was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission."
"Everyone imagines academic battles in universities to be about everyone producing results and fighting each other, but the reality is that they water each other's money trees, worship Guan Gong and Bodhisattva, and secretly record dinner parties..."
Zhou Qiang was shocked: "Is this how colleges and universities play now?"
Huang Yibo spread his hands: "I know it sounds outrageous, but this is the truth."
He is a graduate student at a 211 Jiaotong University in this city and is now in his second year of graduate school.
Everyone shared various strange things and complained to each other.
Then everyone lamented that nowadays, whether working or studying for a master's degree, slackness syndrome will appear. Basically, they don't want to go out. They feel depressed and lose energy when they think about going to work and doing things.
They both looked at Lu Yao: "You seem to be in good spirits, do you have any secrets?"
Lu Yao said: "The secret is to not go to work and play sloppy."
"really."
Both roommates nodded.
In fact, after a long time, you will feel a little reluctant to work.
One thing that is better about Lu Yao now than in the past is that he is interested in and likes what he does. Although he often stays up late and works around the clock, it's not that bad.
The last and most crucial point is that you work three days and rest one day, so the holidays are fine.
…
At 12 noon the next day, Lu Yao made a cup of jasmine tea, turned on the monitor and went to work on time.
The simulator is displayed head on.
【The god Slemmod prays to you. 】
Lu Yao clicked to view.
The scene jumped to Kunlun, where the green-clothed god was standing in front of Kunlun's giant black tree.
He hung some ribbons and colorful flags on the immortal tree, turning it into a Kunlun Christmas tree, adding a lot of color and vitality.
Sensing the arrival of God Yao, Slymode immediately knelt on one knee in the direction of the screen and said, "Lord God, I am trying to further cultivate the Immortal Tree so that its image will become more acceptable."
Lu Yao saw that the black old gods like puppets behind the immortal tree had disappeared.
"They are underground, being taken back into the roots of the immortal tree."
"It's more convenient and doesn't take up too much space," Slimaud explained.
This feature is quite good.
"The immortal tree is still growing, but I am praying to you for another reason."
Slymode said: "Seven years ago, there was an emergency in the Eternal City of the Yunzhong Temple..."
There is a lot of text in the dialog box, and the content is detailed and informative.
After reading it, Lu Yao felt a little surprised.
Odin made some changes in the Land of Mist [Niflheim]. He bound one of the roots of the world tree "Yggdrasil", the anchorage of Norse mythology, to the Inexhaustible Spring, leaving a background loophole.
This tree root will absorb the power of the entire Kingdom of Mist through the inexhaustible spring, and eventually hatch a pseudo-god creature shaped like Odin, which will counterattack the world where the Kingdom of Mist is located.
Lu Yao was a little unhappy.
In his heart, he blacklisted the "King of Gods". If he had the chance to meet him in the future, he would definitely settle accounts with him.
This time, due to Nevid's timely response, the situation was prevented from getting out of control. Slymode's original body had been taking care of the immortal tree in Kunlun for a long time, and his clone also handled the follow-up after the accident.
Lu Yao looked towards the Kingdom of Mist.
The inexhaustible spring is still releasing water mist.
Navid stood nearby, leaning on his sword.
Seeing the apostle whom he had not seen for a long time, Lu Yao couldn't help but smile.
Blood Knight is as reliable as ever.
I still remember the early pioneering era of the Yao civilization, with Isabel in my left hand and the Blood Knight in my right hand. With the help of these two, I solved many difficulties, defeated hostile gods, killed monsters, opened up new territories, and stepped into the abyss... Only then did the pixel people have a stable environment foundation.
Today, Isabel is still by his side, but the Blood Knight has been standing guard here silently for many years.
Navid has never been the type of person who is good at intelligence, but he is the benchmark of a warrior in Lu Yao's eyes.
Lu Yao selected a divine power and attached it to the knight's armor.
Navid's whole body was shining with white light.
Among the gods, the White God represents opportunity, King Wuji represents loyalty, and the tyrant defends order.
Nevid symbolizes perseverance.
Even though he had obtained the qualifications of a god, the Blood Knight remained expressionless. He knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, I will obey your oracle."
Lu Yao told him.
——Go and take charge of the Resurrection Kingdom. Cat Grass and Daisy will assist you.
"As you command, my Lord."
A line of ellipsis appeared above Navid's head.
He added: "Sir, there is a warrior who is suitable to guard this place."
Lu Yao became interested.
The Blood Knight, who has always focused on his mission, actually recommended talents.
This is a rare thing.
The candidate recommended by the Blood Knight is one of the parties involved in this World Tree, and is also the Hades Serpent who cooperates with the Blood Knight to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
Lu Yao turned his gaze to the side of the map.
Not far from the Blood Knight, there was a black pixelated snake coiled on the ground with its neck raised.
…
[Snake LV31] Nidhogg [Weak]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
HP: 4330/4330 Mana: 1/1 Damage: 33 Defense: 26 Speed: 12 [Serpent]
Snakes born in the underworld have dragon blood. They will be extremely weak or even freeze in suspended animation under the sun. All attributes will increase by 10% in a dark environment.
【Death Follower】
A force that has a keen insight into death.
【Toxin Ingestion】
It grows rapidly by ingesting various toxins. The stronger the toxin damage, the more helpful it is to its growth.
【Undead】
…
Nidhogg is quite famous in Norse mythology. He is the poisonous dragon that gnaws the roots of the World Tree.
Although it was reborn, it also degenerated back to its original appearance.
Odin treated this undead serpent as a dry battery, using it to store energy, and then replenishing it from the roots of the World Tree. After all, Nidhogg is undead and will be resurrected.
Blood Knight recommends the Stygian Serpent for two reasons.
“When in danger, it saves people.”
“Normally, people love it.”
Lu Yao opened the backstage of Yunzhong Temple and checked Nidhogg's journey of rebirth.
It is the popular traffic star of the Blessed City and has made great contributions to the city's tourism industry. It even donated money to the Blessed City to build a school for the Nibelungen family... Just looking at this resume, it is simply a role model for the city.
No matter what this Hades Snake thought or what its past was like, it did have a very positive impact on the Yao people.
There is only one problem.
It is not a follower of Lu Yao.
It is written in the detail panel of the Hades Serpent.
…
【Belief】
none
【ideal】
The more you get, the more you do.
Transform into a dragon again.
…
Lu Yao understood.
Nidhogg was the type who would do as much work as he was paid, but as soon as he arrived in the Eternal City, the people gave him the highest salary, so he had to hold himself to the standards of a hero.
Once you become a hero, it's hard to turn back.
Lu Yao thought about it.
It doesn't matter if the Hades Snake doesn't believe in itself, as long as it faithfully fulfills its personal duties and participates in the development and construction of the Yao civilization.
Besides, faith is something that can be cultivated.
Just like the marriage of [UFO God], it’s okay to cultivate feelings after getting married.
Lu Yao placed the apostle mark on Nidhogg's head.
A surprised expression appeared on the head of the Hades Snake: "Me? I... Lord Yaoshen, but I..."
Eventually it accepted the appointment.
Lu Yao was typing on top of it.
- Take over from Nevid and hold on here. He is very optimistic about you.
A light bulb lit up in Hades Snake's head, and he seemed to understand.
"Yes, Lord God!"
"Nidhogg will definitely ensure the safety and stability of the Kingdom of Mist, just like Mr. Navid!"
Lu Yao was very satisfied.
That's enough.
Then he turned his gaze to the Inexhaustible Spring, where there was a huge root system covering the ground. The numerous tree roots condensed into a wooden version of the Blood Knight.
What is strange is that this monster only has a simple entry and no other panel data.
…
[Divine Monster LV99]: A divine monster born from the World Tree "Yggdrasil".
…
Slymod said: "My lord, there was still relevant information when it was in Odin's form, but I erased the mark of Odin, and it is in a chaotic state. At present, it has imitated the appearance of Mr. Navid. The scholars of the Yao tribe are still continuing to study the specific situation..."
Lu Yao logged into the committee database and searched it, but found very little description of the Nordic World Tree.
There's nothing we can do about it.
The first-hand information of each pantheon is in the hands of the main country where the myth is located and will not be made public.
He had exhausted himself when he had looked up Egyptian mythology before, but had gained very little information.
Then we can only try Ling Gong.
