Deity Simulator

Chapter 3 – Offering

Lu Yao placed the mouse on the "offering" slot.

It was a red creature, curled up, resembling a newly born animal.

"Garlic Tribe Baby: Offered to the gods," the screen read.

Lu Yao's face twitched.

Sacrificing a human being... it was indeed in line with the primitive human tradition of offering to the gods.

In the "God Simulator," Lu Yao couldn't communicate with the Garlic Tribe through the temple, nor could he predict how the pixelated people would react.

He put his mouse on the "offering," thinking about whether he could reject it.

A line of text appeared on the screen.

"Do you accept the Garlic Tribe Baby offered by the faithful?"

"Yes" or "No."

Lu Yao decisively clicked "No."

If there was suddenly a baby in his house, there would be no explaining it, and the police might come knocking.

What's more terrifying was that if the Garlic Tribe kept sending babies, his house would be constantly growing with babies, and just thinking about the formula and diapers he would have to buy... Lu Yao was already numb.

He was a god, not a baby caretaker for their tribe!

As Lu Yao rejected the offering, exclamation marks appeared above everyone in the Garlic Tribe.

"The god is not satisfied! The god does not want the baby!"

"I said not to use babies. It should be adults who can plant and pick fruit for the god!"

"No, it should be prey, the best prey. The god will definitely like wild boars!"

"I think it's fish! Fish is the best, slippery and won't hurt people. The god will definitely like it!"

"Go find a new offering, a new offering!"

...

Seeing the pixelated people's conversation, Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh.

But if they sent wild game or river fish, he could make a night snack tonight. Although he didn't cook much, he knew how to make home-cooked dishes.

Except for five people who stayed behind, everyone in the Garlic Tribe ran to nearby forests, rivers, and mountain areas. They looked around, as if looking for something suitable as an offering on the map.

Lu Yao noticed that one of the pixelated people was different from the others.

This person was one of the first seven faithful, barefoot and shirtless. He stood outside the temple, looking up at the sky with a question mark over his head.

Lu Yao's heart was pounding.

Nowadays, staying up all night to play games was a luxury for him. Although Lu Yao was only twenty-three years old, he could clearly feel the changes in his body.

He was far different from when he was in his teens. If he stayed up for just an hour or two, he would feel sleepy and yawn the next day, and coffee or Red Bull would be useless.

With the [Energetic Staff], he could return to the peak of his energetic life!

He excitedly waved the staff for a while, then calmed down.

No, the key point was not this...

But that the [sacrifices] could really be brought out of the pixel game world.

Undoubtedly, there were other magical props like the [Energetic Staff] in the pixel world. If they could be continuously sent out from there through the temple... then this game was an endless treasure trove.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

Lu Yao felt refreshed.

With the temple's ability to break through the dimensional wall, it wouldn't take long for him to get rid of the miserable life of being a wage slave, and become an ideal game otaku who was no longer choked by livelihood!

He turned his attention back to the game.

At this time, the pixel people had all returned to the tribe, and smiley face symbols floated above their heads.

"The gods like sacrifices, that's great, that's great!""Turns out the god likes that kind of offering, I'll definitely find a better offering!"

"I still think wild boars are the best. The god will surely like wild boars, they're much better than that twig!"

"Nonsense, fish are the best!"

"Wild boar!"

"Fish!"

Lu Yao noticed that the little person who insisted on wild boars and the one who liked fish were both from the Forest Tribe who had joined the Garlic Tribe. They were both wearing leather vests.

The Forest Tribe was mainly engaged in gathering and hunting, so it was understandable that they believed prey was the best gift.

Lu Yao's gaze searched back and forth among the little people, trying to find the one who had offered the [Energy Wand]. But these little people looked exactly the same, with no names on their heads and no personal features, making it difficult to recognize.

In the end, Lu Yao found the person in the temple.

Standing in the temple was a barefoot pixelated little person with a question mark still above his head. He was the tribe's only thinker.

A new message appeared on the screen.

- A believer has developed wisdom, do you want to convert him into a prophet?

【Yes】【No】
