Chapter 8 Heim Village
On the screen, the two-headed Viola raised a pixel light ball, and spots of light scattered outward, which was somewhat similar to the comics.
At the edge of the screen, Li Chengxi opened a circle of the female knights' character cards in advance, and he saw that the part representing the health bar was slowly growing.
The magic added to Viola's skill bar is called "Holy Light", which is the lowest level of group healing magic. The description also says that this trick can cause certain damage to evil creatures.
Although Li Chenxi can directly reach into the screen to interfere with the two-headed villain in the game, it is obviously not enough to just reach in for treatment, and the cost-effectiveness of granting magic is very high.
At first, Li Chengxi just accidentally shook his finger in, and the initial 500 faith value became a single digit, and the magic of granting holy light only consumed 10.
This cost-effectiveness is quite good.
Through two days of observation and research, Li Chengxi confirmed that faith value is the most important resource in this game, and it grows very slowly.
He guessed that it might be related to the number of believers, piety, and regular prayers.
The idea of adding Holy Light to Viola's skill bar was to do an experiment, and to let Viola use this trick to attract more believers. After all, Holy Light looks very high-end and has a healing effect.
It is said that utilitarian beliefs are not desirable, but in fact, why should people believe in you if there is no benefit?
For example, when doing business, people will worship the God of Wealth or Guan Erye, or go out to sea to worship the Dragon King. These are all purposeful.
Putting down the headset, Li Chengxi stretched his body.
The flow rate of game time is the same as that of reality, but there is a time difference of about four hours. It is 5:30 in the afternoon in the game, and it is 9:30 in the evening in real time.
He finally checked the doors and windows of the store, closed the notebook and turned to go upstairs.
Yesterday, I was too concerned about this game and didn't sleep well. Today, Li Chengxi planned to take a bath and go to bed early.
Obviously, he didn't notice that the religious style he accidentally created became more and more strange...
–------
Time passed quickly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Chengxi opened the shutter door of the store and stood at the door to stretch his body while watching the gradually bustling street.
"Good morning, Brother Li."
"Good morning, be careful when riding your bike, get a piece of bread before going to the cram school."
"No, no, I'm going to be late!"
The child from the hardware store next door rode his bicycle and disappeared around the corner of the street in a short while.
At this time, a small truck stopped at the door, and the people in the car waved to Li Chengxi:
"Xiao Li, you opened the door late today."
"I accidentally took a nap."
Li Chengxi said, and took two steps closer and asked:
"Brother Zhang took his sister-in-law out?"
"It happened that the children were on summer vacation, and I was thinking of taking my wife and children to the beach to play for a few days."
"Your family is really cool."
"You should get married soon."
Brother Zhang waved his hand:
"No more talking, I'm leaving."
"Drive carefully."
"Okay, see you later."
This brother Zhang's family runs a small restaurant not far from the next door. The price is cheap and the quantity is large. Li Chengxi mainly relies on their family's food to survive.
Brother Zhang's family went out to play, and Li Chengxi didn't trust other takeouts, so he probably had to eat instant noodles every day.
Watching the small truck disappear at the corner of the street, Li Chengxi turned around and sat back behind the cashier, opening his laptop.
Nothing happened in the game during these three days, and it was very dull.
Viola, who has received much attention, has meetings every day, goes out to talk to the residents of Leon Fortress, and then has meetings again. Every time she prays, Viola always says that she hopes the Demon King will guide her on the road ahead.
To be honest, how can Li Chengxi know how to guide?
The only thing he wanted Viola to do before was to send scouts to look around. She has already sent them out, and there is really no need to talk to her again.
Because the process of these three days is too repetitive, Li Chengxi is tired of it.
As the screen lights up, a pixel-style luxurious bedroom appears on the screen. Viola with red hair lies on the bed, sleeping in a very bad posture.
There is also a string of "zzzz" floating next to her head, which is really a very classic form of expression.
Due to the four-hour time difference, it is already eight o'clock in the morning in reality, but it is still four o'clock in the morning in the game, and most people are still dreaming.
Li Chengxi glanced at Viola's bad sleeping posture with the quilt kicked to the ground and the pillow tucked in her arms, and clicked the button on the edge of the screen to exit the current area.
At first, Li Chengxi thought that the protagonist of this game was Viola, after all, the opening plot was about the cause and effect from her perspective.
But after playing for a few days, Li Chengxi found that this game was actually closer to a sandbox without a protagonist. If you have to say it, the protagonist is the demon god played by the player.
There are more than 10,000 people in Leon Fortress alone. Li Chengxi can watch anyone's daily life if he wants. There is no need to always focus on one person.
It just so happens that he is a little tired of always focusing on Viola. Li Chengxi zoomed the screen to the map size and began to check the new area explored by the scout.
Leon Fortress is indeed in the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side. It is true that there is a large plain in the north, but only five small villages have been found so far, and even a town-sized gathering place has not been found for the time being.
Since the mounted scouts can only walk on flat ground and roads, the fog of war and the explored areas on the map are like those gnawed by dogs, which makes the obsessive-compulsive Li Chengxi very unhappy. He especially wants to tear off the black fog of war with his own hands.
The camera zooms in and out in the wilderness, and occasionally some animals in the wilderness can be found, such as goats on the rock wall, wild wolves in the jungle, etc.
Theoretically, if you zoom in to the maximum, you can even see insects lying on the leaves, but insects are too small. In the pixel-style game screen, they are just one or two pixels, which is difficult to notice.
After casually looking at whether there is anything worth noting in the newly explored wilderness, Li Chengxi moved the mouse again and clicked on Heim Village, which is closest to Leon Fortress.
There is Viola in Leon Fortress. She should be able to promote the Demon King God and help attract more believers, but there is no one outside Leon Fortress to help.
Li Chengxi wants to see if Heim Village can also be included in the scope of intervention.
However, I have no idea what to do specifically. This time, I turned my attention away from Viola and planned to come to Heim Village for investigation.
At this time, the sky in the game had just turned pale, but when Li Chengxi moved the camera to Heim Village, someone was already standing at the door of a small house not far from the entrance of the village.
At first glance, it was a family of three, but a closer look would reveal that it should be a grandparent and grandchild, an old man, an old woman and a child.
The old man was carrying a hoe, and the old woman seemed to be instructing something beside him, while the child was grunting and holding a basket and handing it over. A big yellow dog was circling around the child.
Since the characters were all Q-version pixel style with two heads and bodies, in Li Chengxi's opinion, the basket might be bigger than the child.
This picture looked like a farmer going out to work in the fields in the morning. Li Chengxi's hometown was also in the countryside. When he was a child, he saw his grandparents picking vegetables before dawn.
Speaking of this, I still miss it a little.
