Chapter 69 The star ring behind

 The wild cat outside the window meowed loudly, waking up Lu Yao who was dozing off.

 He rubbed his forehead and face.

 Looking at the time, it was half past two in the middle of the night.

 Let's go to bed first.

With this thought in his mind, Lu Yao glanced at the computer screen reflexively.

 There are several lines of text on the game interface.

　　【Mu Ke invented "Tribal War Chess". 】

　　【The Garlic Tribe learned how to make and use the "Tribal War Chess". 】

　　【The Garlic Tribe has its first specialty product, and everyone's intelligence has been slightly improved. 】

  【The gift is completely completed, and the dice merge into the world. 】

—A great god. There is a believer who has performed feats far beyond those of his peers. Do you need to transform him into a hero?

【whether】

 Different from the previous one, this prompt brings a new resource icon.

 There is an additional [Specialty] in the long bar in the upper left corner of the screen.

Lu Yao moved the mouse and found that there was only one specialty product in the details, which was "Tribal War Chess".

I originally wanted to add some vitality and entertainment to the little tribesmen, but I didn’t expect to come up with something new.

 He paid attention to the inventor.

 Mu Ke.

 …Isn’t it the child who was rejected before?

 Lu Yao clicked on the temple.

 There is an extra little man in the temple, with [Mu Ke] on the top of his head, 13 years old.

 Lu Yao then converted him into a hero.

 In the personal painting, Mu Ke is a half-grown boy, sitting in the sunset. He drew intersecting paths and a chessboard on the sand, and Mu Ke was throwing dice, playing the game alone.

 Below the vertical painting is one of his words.

 —Only Clash of Clans will always stay with me.

 …

  【Hero Lv1】Mu Ke

 Attack 0 Defense 1 Knowledge 3 Mana 0 Luck 0 Morale 0

【ability】

 Wisdom Lv1: Wisdom is the key for the apostle to listen to the will of God. The higher the level of wisdom, the easier it is to improve and understand various abilities.

 Gamer Lv1: Good at games, with a certain probability of being able to invent new games.

 …

 After the birth of "Tribal War Chess", it quickly became popular among the entire tribe.

 In the past, small people's daily life apart from labor was eating and reproducing, and their lives were quite monotonous. Nowadays, they will take out their battle flags in their free time and fight with others anytime and anywhere.

 There are gradually more and more smiling faces on the heads of the little people.

 "Tribal War Chess" improves the atmosphere of the Garlic tribe and provides recreation and entertainment for the hard-working villains. Especially in the cold winter, everyone gathers together to play with the battle flag, and even the fights that were common before have become less common.

Lu Yao also felt relieved when he saw that he had achieved his goal.

It is not difficult to beat workers.

 Brother is working hard to provide benefits for you.

 Just playing for fun, you have to support me at critical moments.

 In the pixel world, winter turns to spring.

 This winter, many savages left the forest and joined the Garlic tribe. In spring, another tribe of cave dwellers in the mountains also took the initiative to come down and join them.

 The population of the Garlic Tribe increased by hundreds.

 At the same time, significant results were also achieved in the ghost town of Sanillo. Commander Alex found a continuous coral reef in the west of the sea, where there were many shipwrecks and dead souls at sea.

 He brought back nearly three hundred ghosts in one go.

As a result, the number of Lu Yao’s followers officially exceeded 20,000.

 Displayed in the upper right corner of the simulator.

 Population: 20,018 Faith: 3,935

 Following this, Lu Yao's body underwent a series of wonderful changes.

 He felt that a hot fluid appeared in his body.

 It is like having a new circulatory system in the body, covering the skin and muscles, surrounding the bones and nerves deeper inside.

These indescribable flowing heat seem to be a collection of products on a more microscopic level. They continuously circulate around the bones, muscles and nerves, opening up some hidden passages and restrictions in the flesh and blood body, making Lu Yao feel comfortable all over.

 In a daze, he saw a squatting creature on the originally messy bed.

The animal was completely black, like paint mixed with syrup. Its body surface seemed to be continuously secreting black crude oil, maintaining a moist and smooth feeling, so that the specific shape could not be seen clearly.

The place beneath it is not a bed, but a dry river bed covered with gravel.

This creature is squatting on a stone, like a cat or canine, touching the ground with its buttocks and raising its upper body, as if looking into the distance.

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and the black creature disappeared without a trace.

 On the bed in the house there were still only opened quilts and wrinkled sheets.

 This is...have you seen other dimensions?

 Lu Yao was a little surprised.

But fortunately, the monster didn't find me. In other words, the other party cannot look at you.

This change made Lu Yao a little confused.

 He concentrated, his eyes focused on the bed.

The oil monster appears again.

It didn’t realize that it was being watched at all. It just turned around and moved on the river bed like a stream, gradually losing sight of it.

Lu Yao gradually mastered the trick after trying it for a while.

This kind of almost otherworldly vision can be actively turned off and on, but only a very small area can be seen, and it will soon become blurred and blurred.

 The key is the heat currents in the body. As long as they are stimulated and accelerated in the body, one can see scenes and creatures that do not belong to the real world.

However, this is just seeing, it lasts for a very short time, cannot be touched, and the two parties cannot have any substantial intersection. It's more like a local mirage.

As Song Shiyi said, the safe zone is still safe.

Lu Yao moved his fingers and remembered that sentence.

 Population is the body.

  This is the qualitative change brought about by the population exceeding 20,000.

 Lu Yao focuses on his body. This time he could feel that these heat flows seemed to be gathering inside the body, forming some kind of closed loop outside the body.

 He turned his head and looked.

 A ring-shaped belt emitting a halo condensed behind him, just like a star ring surrounding a planet. It maintained some kind of synchronization with Lu Yao's body, spinning slowly.

 Lu Yao could clearly understand that this star ring was not an external projection or illumination. It is a special substance or energy that exists in fact, and is the product of a large amount of heat flow converging outside the body to form a stable cycle.

When Song Shiyi revealed his identity to Isabel, he also showed the star ring behind his back, which was basically the same as his own.

 It seems that once the population of the simulator reaches a certain level, the body of the **** player can generate this star ring.

 So, what is it used for?

 Lu Yao began to try carefully.

 Hands can be touched, and the feedback between fingers and heat flow can be felt.

 The star ring is like an extension of the body.

 Will it be harmed?

He hit it with his fingers and fists, and tried to hit the thorn with a clothes pole, but he felt no pain. The fingers and the clothes-drying rod passed directly through it.

 Lu Yao suddenly realized.

It turns out that the ring formed by the heat flow will only react to the same heat flow. Other things that touch it are like air, and the two sides seem to be not in the same space at all.

 The somatosensory feedback from the fingers does not come from the skin nerves, but from the heat flow in the fingers.

Lu Yao tried to bring a pen close to the star ring.

 The pen fell directly to the ground.

 There is no gravity and no field-like effects.

 But in front of mirrors and cameras, its image still exists.

 What is the use of this thing?

It just looks bluffing, like the Buddha's light after the Buddha appeared...

Lu Yao finally made a discovery after a series of patient experiments.

 The removal of the star ring will not only react to the heat flow that created it, but also have an effect on the props in the simulator.

Props like [Energy Cane] can float on the star ring and slowly rotate along with it.

not only that.

Lu Yao only needs to concentrate and accelerate the star ring slightly, and it will swallow up the [Energy Cane] and enter a special space. When needed, the accelerating star ring can spit out the designated one.

That kind of subtle sensory experience is difficult to describe accurately.

 The space within the star ring is dark, like pure nothingness. Except for the simulator props placed in it, other things cannot be sensed.

Lu Yao has always had doubts in the past.

As the number of props continues to increase, how do veteran players like Qi Shen, who has entered the pantheon of gods, keep the props in their hands?

 Lisa kept three props even after she fell from the pantheon, and there will only be more for gods like Qi Shen.

 Now he figured it out.

 Experienced players who enter the pantheon, or enter the crawling area, should store props in the star ring and retrieve them for use at any time. This star ring is the space bag of the **** player.

When Song Shiyi revealed his identity, a silver shield with a bonfire printed on it appeared in the star ring. That should also be some kind of prop, maybe the committee's work badge?

 Lu Yao stuffed all the props he had left in his hand into them.

 No need to worry about your home being robbed!

 He lay on the bed, sleeping more soundly than ever before.

   Thanks to Qian Muchenxi for supporting 100 starting coins.
