Big Liar

Not only Luo Tan, but also Xu Cheng and Andre who were present were stunned.

Who would have thought that a potato with facial features would emerge from the ground!

Even if this happened in a dream, it could be voted as one of the top 10 most illogical and fantastic imaginary events, right?

Andre rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief: "I haven't had such a bizarre dream since I started elementary school."

But I have to say, this potato is so huge and its starch content is high, it can easily satisfy the staple food needs of an average family for nearly a year!

——This is what Xu Cheng, who worked in the slums of Chishui Street for many years and was worried about people's livelihood every day, thought.

But before they could be more surprised, Luo Chen's excited voice rang out: "Are you the potato in Plants vs. Zombies? Are you carrying landmines?"

Potato angrily shook off the dirt on his body, his mouth opening and closing: "What landmine? I am the god in charge of potatoes!"

They could understand each word of the sentence individually, but not when put together.

But the three people's focus is very different.

Andre was surprised: "God?"

Xu Cheng: "Do potatoes have gods?"

Luo Tan was distraught: "It turns out there is no landmine."

She thought that in this interstellar land, there would also be tributes to modern classic blockbuster games!

Andre: "No, you are a god?"

He deliberately went behind the big potato, wanting to see if there was someone hiding behind it. After finding that there was nothing behind it, he moved closer to observe for a long time, wanting to see if there were any traces of artificial gluing on the facial features of the big potato.

Potato became even more angry: "Why are you so close? You stupid people, are you blasphemous like this?"

Andre took a step back in disappointment. It seemed that no one was playing tricks. In front of him was indeed a strange potato who claimed to be a god.

As a staunch atheist, Xu Cheng was also greatly shocked: "No, why do potatoes have gods?"

The big potato felt insulted: "Why can't potatoes have gods? There are gods for rivers, oceans, mountains, and even for wells, so why don't potatoes have gods?"

It seems that if you think about it this way, there is nothing wrong with this logic!

But this wasn't what he really wanted to ask...

Xu Cheng finally grasped the point and shouted: "Wait, I am not questioning the importance of potatoes. Potatoes have divine and natural meaning!"

Seeing that Big Potato had finally changed his angry expression and looked better, Xu Cheng struck while the iron was hot and said, "But don't gods only exist in the world of mythology? Why do gods still exist now?"

It is extremely difficult to get an atheist to accept a world with gods. It can be said that it is like breaking the worldview into pieces and then piecing it together again.

When Big Potato heard what he said, he actually felt wronged: "There were gods in the past, and there are gods now! We are not dead, but because you have been developing technology, fewer and fewer people believe in gods, so we fell asleep and our divine power became less and less."

Xu Cheng understood that in mythological stories, gods needed the worship of believers in order for their power to flourish. This is still the case today. Fewer and fewer people believe in gods, so the power of gods is naturally reduced.

Luo Chen did not question the identity of the gods. After all, for her, who was born and raised in modern times, it was already incredible that aliens could occupy the bodies of earthlings. The appearance of the gods only made the incredible index increase from 90 to 100, which was far less shocking to her than when it went from 0 to 1.

Hey, wait, Luo Tan suddenly had a brilliant idea!

She said to Big Potato, "You are a god, right?"

Big Potato immediately recognized that this was the voice of the person who woke him up!

But He is a great man who does not bear grudges. As long as she is loyal to Him, He can still forgive her!

So He nodded calmly: "Yes."

"So you are also some kind of spiritual being, right?"

Why is this question getting weirder?

But Big Potato thought about it and realized that although he had the characteristics of a potato on the outside, that was just a representation. In other words, he was an illusory existence and his essence was naturally spiritual.

So He continued to nod.

He thought that in the next second, the girl who woke him up would prostrate herself on the ground in worship, swear to burn incense and offer sacrifices to him, and vow to become his most loyal believer!

But Luo Tan said excitedly: "Then go and take a look at the people lying in that building. Can you tell if there is anything strange on them?"

Her idea is very simple! Now, as human beings, they are helpless against aliens because aliens appear in the form of spirits. They can neither see these aliens nor deal with them. Because once they attack the aliens, the ones who are hurt in the end are still innocent ordinary people! This makes their process of fighting against aliens extremely difficult.

But if the gods as spirits fight aliens, what does that mean? Isn't it just magic defeating magic?

Luo Tan clapped his hands in astonishment at his own idea.

The big potato didn't move. It just glanced over there and said with disgust, "There is a strong stench in there."

Luo Tan was surprised and asked, "Can you drive away that stench?"

Big Potato said bluntly: "After all, I am the god in charge of this land. Even if my power is not as strong as before, I am still more than capable of driving away the souls that do not belong to this land."

It actually works!

Xu Cheng and Andre both widened their eyes.

Big Potato changed the subject: "But it stinks there, I don't want to go there."

Xu Cheng, Andre, and Luo Chen: "...Well, this is a big potato with a cleanliness fetish!"

Xu Cheng forced himself to ignore the dirt on it and suggested, "What do you need? We can find you a mask?"

Big Potato looked at him as if he were a fool.

Then a green bud emerged from its side. Right in front of them, the bud gradually split into two, one of which stretched forward and then hooked back, over and over again.

I understand, Big Potato, this is a good thing!

Andre: "You must be bored underground, right? How about I install a tablet, a computer, and a TV for you, so you can watch home theater?"

Big Potato said with disgust: "I don't want your technology."

Xu Cheng: "Then the three of us will go back and hang your portrait at home, and worship it and look at it every day?"

Big Potato looked bored: "What's the difference between 0 believers and 3 believers?"

But you can't hang its portrait in front of the palace! It will allow the citizens to see it, but they might think that the royal family has gone crazy!

But if that doesn't work...

Xu Cheng was just about to ask Andrei for his consent to see if he could temporarily agree to this "humiliating" clause, when he heard Big Potato say:

"I'm not interested in what you're talking about, but I've been sleeping here alone for hundreds of years, and sometimes I feel a little lonely."

"So, can you get me something to keep my brothers and sisters company? Sunflowers, squash, nuts, cherry plants, anything is fine!" Big Potato said with interest.

Luo Tan's eyes sparkled:

Oh my God, this big potato is exactly what she thought!

This is indeed a tribute to Plants vs. Zombies!

Maybe it is also one of the crazy fans!

"Ah? But these plants need to be planted. Where can we get you the seeds?"

Xu Cheng said in embarrassment: "Can you do us a favor today? We will go out and get the seeds and plant them!"

But the big potato insisted: "No, what if you run away? You humans are the most untrustworthy. Every time you plant seeds, you tell the little potatoes to grow up quickly, but in the end you dig them up before they grow into big potatoes."

Luo Chen started browsing the system mall again. She remembered that she had seen an item before...

Yes!

Luo Tan pointed at the prop excitedly.

Prop description: In spring I plant a seed, and in autumn I harvest a fruit forest. But this prop does it the other way around! When the user plants seeds, they will directly grow into fruits and vegetables, and then turn back into seeds in autumn. How about that, isn't it magical?

No matter whether these plants grow upright or upside down, all Big Potato needs is to grow the plants.

However, the system prompt sounded again: "Sorry, your points are insufficient."

Luo Chen: "... Very good, forget about the impact of the macro financial market with interest rate cuts and price increases around the world."

But how could such a thing be difficult for her?

So she began to plead with Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, if we succeed in driving away these foreign souls, the system will reward us with points, right?"

Xiao Ai: "Ding, you can get 1000 points by completing this task!"

Luo Tan: "Okay, then I want to advance this points."

Xiao Ai: "This is against the rules..."

Luo Tan started to output: "If you agree to give me the points first, I can buy the props to complete this task. If I can complete the task, I can return the points to you!"

Xiao Ai: "Ah? But I can't advance..."

Luo Tan was heartbroken: "Xiao Ai, I can see that you didn't graduate from elementary school and you haven't learned necessary and sufficient conditions. Now, advance points are a necessary and sufficient condition for completing tasks! You can give me the points and I will make a profit!"

Xiao Ai was confused by this necessary and sufficient talk, but she understood the four words "steady profit and no loss". In order not to be tortured by Luo Chen's strange theory any further, she agreed with a heavy heart.

then--

"Congratulations on reaching 1,000 points!"

"System warning: The host is suspected of deliberately fooling the system. If you do it again, you will be severely punished and fined 1,000 points or more!"

Luo Tan: Well, it seems I can’t cheat Xiao Ai next time.

But at least, the points were credited this time.

She used props.

Then, she took out a small bag from behind her and showed it to Xu Cheng and Andre in surprise: "Look, this looks like a handful of seeds."

Xu Cheng and Andre: We knew what was going on, but we still had to go along with the performance.

So they tried their best to express surprise, curiosity, admiration and other emotions, and then planted the seeds in the ground.

The next moment after they were planted, numerous plants quickly popped up from under the soil and grew on this barren land, all of which were covered with ripe fruits.

Luo Tan: [Oh my god, is this process so fast? How is she going to explain it to Xu Cheng and Andre?]

Fortunately, neither Xu Cheng nor Andre suspected anything.

Andre stroked his chin and said, "Is this the latest planting technology?"

Xu Cheng: "It should be because there are gods here, so the seedlings can grow up in an instant."

Luo Tan felt relieved.

Andre and Xu Cheng: Fortunately, we think quickly.

The most important protagonist, Big Potato, seemed very happy. He quickly walked to the other end of the laboratory as promised and drove away all the souls that did not belong there.

He said: "I can only drive them out of my territory, but I can't drive them out of the entire planet at once, so they may find someone else to possess."

Big Potato made another suggestion: "If you can summon all the gods in the world and have each god drive these souls out of their own territory, then there is a chance that they will have nowhere to land and will have to leave this planet."

"It's just that..." Big Potato smiled, "This is simply impossible. Other gods are not as light sleepers as I am, nor are they as easy to talk to as I am."

The next moment, He disappeared in front of everyone.

Only the pit dug in the ground proved that He had been there.

"Huh? Why am I lying here?"

"Forget lying here. I don't even remember being here before."

The drowsiness of the lab wore off almost at the same time, and the police and firefighters came out, looking at each other strangely.

They have completely forgotten what happened before.

The head of the city management department and the fire brigade chief rubbed the soft bumps on their heads, also with looks of disbelief.

But they soon found an excuse for why they were here -

They vowed, "Don't panic! Wang Chu and the other two must have encountered difficulties, so they called us in to help them. That must be the case!"

Although they didn't know why the people who came to rescue were lying on the ground, and they didn't even remember what happened, as long as it made sense, it was reasonable!

Xu Cheng felt a little depressed:

It was clearly these people who had cheated them, but they didn't do it on purpose, and he had no way to explain it. But he still felt a little aggrieved for some unknown reason.

The rescuer becomes the rescued.

The sneak attacker became the rescuer.

At this moment, he heard a voice:

[It was us who saved them! Why did they turn against Tian Gang? ]

???

This female voice caused an uproar among the crowd!

Although after this, the scene became even more chaotic.

However, Xu Cheng actually felt a sense of secret satisfaction.

It really feels good to be able to talk it out!
