Chapter 28 Rejecting the Spectacle

Lu Yao leaned back on his chair, crossed his legs and drank a Coke with ice, overlooking the pixel world on the computer screen.

From the Yanchi tribe in the mountains to the west to the Donghe tribe in the eastern river, to the most dangerous depths of the forest in the north, and to the ghost town of Sanilo in the south, his reputation is known to everyone.

He is also a well-known local god.

After mastering Saniro, Lu Yao suddenly changed his weapon, and the number of believers increased explosively.

He is already thinking about his next opponent.

Should we annex the Donghe tribe first?

Or directly impose sustainable lightning and earthquake sanctions on the Salt Pond tribe?

He touched his chin.

While I was thinking about it, a new prompt appeared on the screen.

[Population is the body, faith is the power. 】

[You already have a considerable number of believers and have gained a lot of faith in this area. Your great power is spread all around, and your miracles are further demonstrated. 】

[Please build your own wonder. This will be your step away from the apprentice gods and into the pantheon of gods. 】

Spectacle?

This word is not unfamiliar to Lu Yao.

Isabel also said this when she subdued Lisa.

"I've also ascended to the crawl zone, and some asshole ruined the spectacle, so I descended back to the safe zone."

In other words, the place you are in now is called the safe zone. After building the wonder, you can enter the next stage and ascend to the so-called crawling zone.

Just like the prompt describes, break away from the trainee god.

Lu Yao clicked on the temple and made a new discovery in the [Miracle] column.

There is a new Wonder available.

The new miracle icon is a vague building, and [Wonder] requires 5,000 Faith.

Like [Lightning] and [Earthquake], there is no detailed description behind [Wonder].

Lu Yao thought, no wonder Lisa was so anxious.

5,000 Faith is a huge expense, and if it is developed step by step, a tribe of at least a thousand people would have to have this reserve. Considering that you still need to deal with some emergencies and harsh environments, it will take a lot of time to accumulate it.

Lisa didn't have the patience, so she went around robbing the gods of players' faith just to create a spectacle and return to the crawling area.

Now Lu Yao needs to consider whether to directly activate [Wonder]?

After thinking for a while, he made a decision.

【Wonder】Slow down.

Currently, I am in the God's Safe Zone, which should be similar to the Novice Village, so it is relatively safe. But once [Wonder] is turned on, like Lisa, you may face a war with other god players, and you may be under great pressure at that time.

Players who have played old games know that before leaving the Novice Village, they must level up and fight monsters as much as possible and loot all the equipment in the Novice Village.

Stability is Lu Yao's game style.

Before you are sure, I will never leave Novice Village!

Decided!

The first goal is to dominate the nearby safe zone!

After making the key decision, Lu Yao felt relaxed.

"Low heat. Make me a bowl of noodles. I want two cloves of garlic and a fried egg."

"Yes, sir."

The cactus got up from the potted plant, shook the mud off its thorns, jumped off the table, and went outside to cook some noodles.

Lu Yao stood up and stretched.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from outside.

"Damn it! The cactus has become a spirit! What the hell is going on!"

Lu Yaoxin said something bad. He opened the door and saw a young man with a crew cut and dark circles standing at the door. The cigarette in the young man's mouth stuck to his lower lip, and his eyes looked at the ground in shock.

On the floor, the cactus attendant had changed back to his cactus appearance, motionless.

"Why are you here? Lao Zhou."

Lu Yao smiled and said hello.

"No, Lu Yao, that cactus on the ground used to have arms and legs, but it has become a spirit! Damn, that's ridiculous!" Zhou Qiang still stared at the cactus on the ground.

"You must be dazzled. This one rolled out of the flower pot in my house." Lu Yao picked up the small fire on the ground and handed it to the other party: "If you don't believe it, look at it. It's just an ordinary cactus."

Zhou Qiang carefully observed the cactus, then touched it with his fingers, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I can clearly see that this thing has arms and legs, like a matchstick... Maybe I've been too tired recently."

Zhou Qiang rubbed his face with both hands.

"By the way, why did you come here tonight?" Lu Yao changed the subject: "And didn't I lock the door? How did you get in?"

"Is it locked? No."

Zhou Qiang and Lu Yao checked the door and found that there was something wrong with the lock core of this old-fashioned security door. Regardless of whether it was locked or not, the lock inside would not pop out. It was just for decoration.

"Old houses are troublesome with these problems. I will report to the landlord later, but I guess no one will repair them. Just make do with it."

Zhou Qiang smoked his cigarette and said, "I'm here to see you today."

"My online store really can't be opened anymore, so I've closed it."

Lu Yao was stunned: "You have opened it since college, and the five-year-old store has been closed like this? What a pity."

"It's getting harder and harder to run a small business."

Zhou Qiang gave a wry smile and pointed to his forehead: "Did you see it? My hairline is moving upwards, and I'm losing a lot of hair every day."

"When I was in college, I was Ouri Shun, an employee, and now I have become Pan Changjiang, an online store owner."

Lu Yao could also tell from Zhou Qiang's dark circles under his eyes and haggard appearance that he was indeed under a lot of pressure now.

When he just graduated, Zhou Qiang was still full of confidence. During the dinner, he was still dreaming about becoming bigger and stronger and creating brilliance... Now he has been beaten by life and is dark and thin. He always smokes and frowns.

"I am going to close the store and work as a temporary worker in the community."

Zhou Qiang put out his cigarette and said with a smile: "Two thousand eight hundred a month, the money is small but there is not so much pressure. I am going to take a break first and then consider what to do next."

"Brother, I will move in today, but I am not alone."

Zhou Qiang shouted outside: "Come up, why are you hiding?"

A woman walked in from outside the door.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with delicate features, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black straight pants. The woman tied her hair casually behind her head, and her eyes were a little erratic, as if she was thinking about something, and seemed a little absent-minded.

Lu Yao noticed that her shoulders and waist lines were very good, with almost no fat, and there were signs of exercise.

"My girlfriend, Yu Yao." Zhou Qiang introduced them, "This is my college roommate, Lu Yao."

Lu Yao smiled politely and nodded. Yu Yao was a little restrained, but also nodded.

"We will stay here for a month at most." Zhou Qiang explained, "We will move when we find a suitable house."

Lu Yao nodded.

He was also slightly relieved.

If you don't move, I will have to move.

Because of the simulator, it is really not suitable for other people to be in this house.

Now that Zhou Qiang and Yu Yao have moved to the next door, he must be more cautious and not let the small fire be exposed to them.

...

That night, Lu Yao always heard someone humming next door. At first he thought it was a night interaction between young lovers, but the sound became more and more wrong.

Is someone... humming?

But Lu Yao couldn't be sure whether the sound came from next door or upstairs.

In the second half of the night, he was awakened by the trembling sound of cutting vegetables.

In the middle of the night, who would cook in the kitchen?
