Chapter 250 The Special Habits of the Local God
After the Omniscient Mirror was dismantled, its storage function was designed to be a "four-dimensional pocket", which is the one in Doraemon. Of course, it is still a little different from the original.
It can only be said that most of the functions have been realized, and some functions are even stronger.
As for the teleportation function, Ji Ruo turned it into a portal. The messy spatial coordinates originally recorded in the universal mirror disappeared. Instead, Ji Ruo could adjust the coordinates of the position behind the door through the door handle. Moreover, using it no longer consumed Ji Ruo's energy. When not in use on weekdays, the portal would absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recharge itself.
This realizes the automation of transmission.
Of course, it didn’t matter if the absorbed spiritual energy was not enough, because Ji Ruo also dismantled his own mobile phone and installed the battery and charging socket on it…
The battery capacity of a mobile phone is not large, but it has the ability to "store energy" in any way. A full charge can be used for a long time.
Although the power consumption is a bit high, it doesn't matter. The star tribulation thundercloud is living a very carefree life now. Under normal circumstances, one cloud can support the power supply of half of Da Xia. If a living being undergoes a tribulation again, the energy generated by the thunder tribulation cannot be used up in a short period of time and will be stored - the task of preventing living beings from advancing has been contracted by Da Xia.
Even though Ji Ruo has the title of "Great Inventor" and is incredibly capable in his own right, Da Xia's own scientific research capabilities are actually not weak either.
Ji Ruo has made several small inventions in the past few days, and the scientific researchers in Daxia have also developed a new type of missile based on the characteristics of star-calamity thunderclouds.
This new type of missile can carry the rules of star calamity, and the thermal weapons on it are extremely destructive. Whenever a living being is going through a calamity, it can use the rules of star calamity to directly penetrate time and space, arrive in an instant, and kill in real time.
Of course, the humans of Da Xia are not among those to be killed. Before warriors undergo the tribulation, they only need to report to the Star Tribulation Power Station.
Energy from thunder tribulations will be generated, but what is struck by the thunderclouds from star tribulations is the energy storage device that was specially designed for Daxia. One person's tribulation can light up the lights of tens of millions of homes. In comparison, all Daxia needs to pay is some thermal weapons that can be mass-produced.
The star-calamity thunderclouds no longer have to run around the world, and Daxia also gains an almost inexhaustible source of renewable energy, killing two birds with one stone.
The so-called "Star Tribulation Power Station" mainly relies on Star Tribulation to generate electricity...
In short, the electricity is there anyway, and as long as your status and contribution are there, you can use it at will.
…
Evening, Ruang.
"Hey, man, how do you pronounce those words on the door?"
[Common Language] allows Ji Ruo to communicate with any being without any obstacles, but it does not allow Ji Ruo to recognize the writing of other civilizations.
Words cannot speak by themselves and have no meaning. It is the living beings who create them that give them meaning.
The 'zhuangding' who was caught by Ji Ruo looked at Ji Ruo with some surprise.
"What word? I don't know it either."
Ji Ruo: “?”
A closer look revealed that this 'strong man' was wearing coarse linen clothes, his hair hung down on his head like a bunch of dead grass, his skin was rough, and there were obvious mites between his fingers and palms, which were irregularly distributed.
It seems that this is a simple working people.
And when Ji Ruo was looking at 'Zhuang Ding', 'Zhuang Ding' was also looking at Ji Ruo.
In his eyes, Ji Ruo had fair skin, long fingers, smooth hair, and her clothes and shoes were a bit strange, but she was spotless, and she also had a cute little cat with her...
Could this be the descendant of a noble old man?
No... If he is really a descendant of a noble family, how could he be illiterate?
Zhuang Ding was thinking hard, wondering whether he should perform the salute or not.
Ji Ruo said: "Then let me ask it another way. What is the name of our town?"
"This is Rouen." The man hesitated for a moment and then said, "You don't look like a local. Can I ask why you are here..."
"Oh, I'm just a traveler passing by." Ji Ruo said casually.
Afterwards, Ji Ruo talked to the man for a while and got a general understanding of the information about Ruang Town.
The man suddenly said, "You came at the right time. We in Rouen are preparing for a celebration. It only happens once a year."
"Oh? Then I am really lucky." Ji Ruo smiled, said goodbye to the man, and walked towards the town with Rosie in his arms.
The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly ran in a certain direction.
…
Dozens of people were crowded into a dimly lit room. A mixture of strange smells filled the air, and everyone had a worried look on their faces.
They seemed to be arguing, but the sound was not very loud. The only words I could hear were "who gets it this year" and "living sacrifice".
Although everyone's expression was very excited, they seemed to be trying very hard to restrain themselves.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door and everyone subconsciously looked towards the door.
"Tsk."
An old man stepped out from the crowd. After everyone fell silent, he gently opened the door and looked outside with a somewhat cold gaze.
Outside the house was the man who had talked to Ji Ruo before.
He whispered excitedly, "Don't worry about it, a stranger has come! I told him that our town is going to hold a celebration soon, everyone should get ready!"
"A stranger?"
Everyone in the room became excited and quickly welcomed the man in.
"Thank God, we don't have to prepare the main sacrifice this year."
Everyone was delighted and thanked God.
They began to discuss the details.
Ji Ruo asked curiously, "Our town seems to be quite big, why are there only a few of us discussing this here? Will others not participate in the sacrifice? Or is this a contract-based thing?"
An old man sighed and said, "The noble elders' lives are precious, so they won't get involved in such things. We poor people's lives are worthless, so...
Otherwise, the nobles will not let us go, and the great Kairis will not let us go either..."
"So that's how it is." Ji Ruo rubbed Luo Xi's head and nodded slightly: "Go on."
The discussion continued.
Kairis is the deity worshipped by the town of Ruong.
Ji Ruo had learned from the God of Fire before that in the Mother Earth Continent, in addition to the main gods that people were required to believe in, there were also many local minor gods like Kairis.
Minor gods in regions like this mostly rely on their own power to intimidate, or because they look so bizarre that they scare the masses, they naturally gain faith and gain divinity.
As for the main gods, they simply don't care about such matters. As long as people still believe in them, that's enough. As for what kind of environment people live in, they don't care at all.
If you believe in me, you are worth living. If you don’t believe in me, you are guilty and will be killed.
It's that simple.
Let's get back to the point. Usually, these local gods have some strange hobbies. For example, Kairis forced the people of Ruang to believe in him and offer living sacrifices to him every year...
Thinking about it, Ji Ruo was a little confused: "Kerris, this is the only meal you eat in a year?"
One person said unhappily, "Kerris is a great god! How can we lowly humans speculate about him?"
Calling himself a 'lowly human being' made Ji Ruo raise an eyebrow.
This world seems to have a lot of problems...
