God Simulator Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 Weird little game

   After a day of work, Lu Yao dragged his exhausted body back to the rental house.

  In a small company with a dozen or so people, more than half of them are related households dawdling in their lives. Besides the boss and partners, there are only three people who actually do things. It has only been three months since he joined the job, and Lu Yao is already living a bit like a year.

  However, he did not dare to resign until he found another job. Now that the economy is in a downturn, we have to survive first, and then consider the next step in life.

  At this time every day, Lu Yao will have a little room to relax. He switched moods and temporarily put aside all the unhappiness during the day.

   Now it is, game time!

  He turned on his old computer, and the mouse moved slowly on the screen.

   Let me see, which one to play today.

   Want a ranking?

  A knife?

   Or Romance of the Three Kingdoms 9?

  An inconspicuous icon caught Lu Yao's attention.

  The icon is in the lower right corner of the screen, and the logo is a green pixel-style island, which blends in with the green grass in the computer background image, which is very inconspicuous.

   "God Simulator"?

what game is this?

  Lu Yao doesn't remember downloading or purchasing it at all.

  He clicks on the file properties to view. The source file is 20M, which is a small game. This capacity seems to be a game from a long time ago.

  Lu Yao's computer configuration is low. He has been using this machine since he was in college, and he is reluctant to change it. To play lol and Dota, you have to use the lowest quality. You can only rely on the cloud to play games and watch other people's game videos. Most of the time, Lu Yao is playing all kinds of classic old games.

  He tried to open "God Simulator".

  The screen slowly turns black.

  Accompanied by melodious old-fashioned 8-bit electronic music, white Chinese characters are displayed one by one on the black screen, which is very classical pixel game style.

  【On this day, the world finally welcomed back the great god. 】

  【Your arrival brought meaning back to the world. Your mighty power will create a brand new civilization. 】

  Then the dark scene gradually disappeared, replaced by a group of villains building various buildings, some villains were plowing the farmland, and others were cheering with their arms raised. The pixel-style picture looks fresh and nostalgic, which makes Lu Yao feel relaxed for a while.

   Three white options appear on the background.

【new game】

【Continue the game】

【quit】

  Lu Yao clicked [New Game].

  The screen returned to pitch black again, and uniform green pixels emerged on it, like paint blocks smeared on a blackboard.

  【World capturing...】

   After about five seconds, green pixels covered the screen.

  【The world positioning is complete, welcome, great god. 】

  The pixel background changed again.

  A flat green field appears on the screen, surrounded by forests, rivers, mountains and deserts. In the center of the picture is a white domed building that looks like a temple.

   A line of text appears in the center: This is your temple, you named it ___ temple.

  Lu Yao thought for a while, then typed a word casually.

  Yao Temple.

  The handwriting of [Yao Temple] appeared in the sky above the temple.

   Then the screen fell into a strange static state.

  Lu Yao clicked on the temple, but there was no option.

What's happening here?

   Which company made the old game without even a basic tutorial and guidance?

   Just when he was wondering, two barefoot figures with shirtless upper body appeared in the corner of the screen. These two figures moved all the way, walking around the temple.

  An exclamation point popped up on one of the villains, and then a dialog box popped up on his head.

  "What a beautiful and magnificent house, it must have been made by God."

  Another villain raises his hands.

   "God, god!"

   "This must be a revelation from the gods. This is a lucky place. We want more people to settle here!"

   "God's Promised Land! God's Promised Land!"

  Smiley symbols appeared above the heads of the two villains. They ran out of the screen all the way, and within a few seconds, they came here with five villains.

   A total of seven villains began to worship around the temple. They built a small thatched hut next to the temple, and transplanted some berry-like bushes from off-screen, and began to live next to the temple.

   At this time, a prompt appeared on the screen.

  【You have obtained the first batch of believers in this world. The power of faith is the means for you to perform miracles. Please collect more faith. 】

  Lu Yao noticed that there was a small human head portrait in the upper right corner, showing population, and there was a palace icon next to it, showing belief. Both Population and Faith are 7.

   It seems that 1 believer will provide 1 point of faith.

  He clicked on the population with the mouse, but there was no response. Click Faith again, this time an icon that looks like a cloud of fog pops up.

【Miracle】

  There is a row of options below, each with a corresponding stick figure. All wonders are greyed out, indicating that none are currently available.

  Every miracle needs to consume faith points. Even [Rainfall], which requires the least Faith Points, still needs to consume 10 Faith Points.

   That is, there must be 10 believers to perform a miracle once.

  Increasing the population became the primary issue.

  Different from other simulation management games, God Simulator cannot directly build houses or produce residents, and can only wait for the pixel villains to multiply or gather by themselves. Currently, the only option that can be operated is [Miracle].

  Lu Yao watched the pixel villains farming the land, the mouse kept trying to **** on the screen, and his stomach began to growl.

  He went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles, and came back with a few cloves of garlic.

  When he returned to the computer, Lu Yao noticed that the villains around the temple were in an abnormal state. Sad expressions appeared on their heads, and they all worshiped around the temple.

   Dialog boxes above the little people's heads kept appearing.

   "Great God, I request your apparition!"

   "Please bless us! Great God!"

  "The forest tribe thinks that what we believe in is a demon, and wants to overthrow the temple, please show a miracle!"

   Lu Yao took a mouthful of noodles and thought to himself, it seems that this is the first crisis.

  However, the current faith value is only 7 points, and it cannot even make it rain, and the column of miracles cannot be used yet.

  Lu Yao continued to explore, and finally the mouse clicked on a new interface on the temple.

   In the center of the screen is a stone bonfire, and in front of the bonfire is a gray humanoid statue in a sitting position. The faces of the portraits are blurred, and men and women cannot be discerned. It seems to be the image of gods imagined by pixel villains.

   There is a long table in front of the statue, and there are two slots of different shapes on the table.

  The large placement slot on the left is labeled 【Sacrifice】.

  The small one on the right is written 【Gift】.

   Currently these placement slots are empty.

  The sacrifices are easy to understand, and they are naturally what these believers and villains offer to the gods.

  According to the corresponding relationship, the gift should be the power or props given to these believers by the temple.

   Is this the miracle they want?

  Lu Yao searched and searched, but couldn't find anything that could be moved and dragged. He was a little stuck for a while, and he got stuck on the first question.

  Suddenly, he noticed a strange thing.

  The long table in front of the statue looks familiar.

  Not right...

  Why is that desk exactly the same as my own computer desk?

   Two placement slots, the shape of the sacrifice slot is completely the rectangular shape of the keyboard, the gift slot is oval, and the mouse?

   Take a closer look, the enshrined **** looks like sitting in front of a long table, isn't it yourself who is playing computer?

  This idea startled Lu Yao.

impossible…

   This must be a coincidence.

   Following that, a bold idea popped up in my mind.

  He carefully placed the garlic clove next to the instant noodles on the mouse.

  Lu Yao looked at the mouse expectantly.

   Two seconds later, the garlic cloves rolled off the mouse.

   "It really is a coincidence."

  Lu Yao laughed at himself, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

   Right at this moment, the falling garlic cloves suddenly disappeared without a trace.

   Lu Yao subconsciously looked at the computer screen.

  In the [Gift] slot of the temple, there is a garlic pixel icon.

  【Garlic】: A gift from the gods, a special spice and a herb.

   A line of characters is displayed on the screen.

  —May I ask you to give 【Garlic】to your believers?

【whether】

   Lu Yao's hand holding the mouse trembled.

   A new book has been opened, readers please collect and read it~
