Deity Simulator

Chapter 14 – Begging-style attack

After finishing the tedious preparations, Lu Yao finally returned to operating the "Deity Simulator".

In the upper right corner of the game interface, it displayed a population of 254 and a faith of 21.

The population growth within the Garlic Tribe was slower than Lu Yao had expected. It wasn't that the pixelated people lacked the enthusiasm to procreate; they did give birth to some babies. However, most of the babies died, and only a few managed to survive and grow up.

There has been some progress compared to before.

In the early stages, the chances of a baby safely growing up were less than one in ten. Now, Lu Yao estimated that it was around three in ten.

The high infant mortality rate was due to the lack of doctors or pharmacists, aside from the shaman who served as the Garlic Tribe's sole doctor, covering all the medical needs of the tribe.

New lives were born, while old lives perished.

Injuries that couldn't be treated and death from old age were the main ways the tribe's population decreased. The deceased pixelated people were buried in the forest, allowing them to return to the earth and nature.

This was a custom inherited from the past Forest Tribe and continued by the new Garlic Tribe.

After winter ended, an unusually hot summer quickly arrived.

The entire game screen was filled with a faint yellow light. The grass on the ground dried up and turned yellow, and the river to the east had its water level lowered, revealing more riverbanks.

Smoke rose from the heads of all the tribe members, as they were trapped in an extremely hot predicament. They usually stayed in their huts and only went out to farm and hunt when it wasn't too hot in the morning and evening.

The scorching heat and drought continued, causing the pixelated people to pray fervently around the temple.

"God Yao, please grant us rain!"

"It's unbearably hot. If it continues like this, the wheat and garlic will wither, and everyone will die."

"Merciful God Yao, great God Yao, please save us!"

Lu Yao didn't hesitate and directly spent 10 faith points to activate the miracle [Rainfall].

The long-awaited rain fell on the parched land, causing the pixelated people of the tribe to cheer loudly and praise the deity.

At this time, the prophet and the shaman were having a conversation.

"The deity has brought rain, relieving the heat. But we can't endlessly rely on the deity. As servants of the deity, we have received too much and done too little."@@@@

"The hot weather may still occur, and if the land loses water, it will be difficult for wheat and garlic to grow. We must come up with a long-term and reliable solution while the deity has brought rain."

The two wise men of the tribe thought and pondered but couldn't come up with any ideas.

So, Lu Yao led them to the riverside.

"We went everywhere to rob, but we couldn't win, many people died."

"Finally, we came here."

This novel is available on ".

Their words indirectly confirmed Lu Yao's speculation.

Demon Jack was not a player who cared about management, to him, the barbarian tribe was more like a tool. He didn't care about the barbarians' living conditions, he just forced them to hunt for sacrifices, not even sparing the barbarian heroes.

The barbarian tribe was essentially extinct.

Lu Yao had planned to wait out this drought, then find a time to completely eliminate the barbarian tribe. He didn't expect that under the extreme climate, they couldn't hold on. Under the indiscriminate coverage of nature's power, it was a competition of who could adapt better to the environment.

At least one worry was resolved.

Lu Yao twisted his neck and stretched.

Isabella, who was beside him, suddenly looked out the window, her voice serious: "My lord, the presence of a demon."

"A demon?"

Lu Yao walked to the window and looked outside.

The alley and the street were empty. It was already night, and with the news of a psychopath on the loose, the only thing on the street was a white stray dog wandering around.

"Where?"

Isabella pointed to a corner on the street.

There lay a middle-aged man. He seemed to be drunk, leaning against the curb, with a pile of vomit beside him.

The stray dog walked up to the man and sniffed.

Then it did something Lu Yao didn't expect.

The dog bit the man's clothes and began to drag him bit by bit into the parking alley.

"My lord, please command me to hunt the demon," Isabella said.

Lu Yao asked, "How do I contact you when you're dealing with the demon?"

"Use my eye."

Isabella reached into her left eye socket and dug out her left eye to give to Lu Yao.

It was a white eyeball with a green pupil, with a gem-like cold texture and crystal clear luster, like some kind of ancient artifact.

"My lord. Everything I see with the power of faith will be displayed to you through this eye. You can also give me new commands through the eye."

Lu Yao carefully held the eyeball and instructed, "Be careful, don't let others discover your identity."

"Yes, my lord."

Isabella's body was wrapped in a cloud of black mist, which quickly condensed into a black robe, her eyes once again covered by a black cloth, returning to her original appearance.

A men's shirt, sunglasses, and jeans flew out of the black robe, scattering on the bed.

Isabella leaped from the window sill and disappeared into the night.
