Chapter 8 Heim Village

On the screen, the two-headed Viola held up a pixelated light ball, and spots of light scattered outward, and the expression was somewhat similar to that in the comics.

At the edge of the screen, Li Chengxi opened a circle of character cards of the female guards in advance, and he saw that the part representing the health bar was slowly growing.

The magic spell added to Viola's skill list is called "Holy Light", which is the lowest level of group healing magic. The description also says that this move can cause certain damage to evil creatures.

Although Li Chenxi can directly reach into the screen to interfere with the two-headed little man in the game, healing is obviously not something that can be done by just reaching in, and the cost-effectiveness of bestowing divine powers is very high.

At first, Li Chengxi just accidentally moved his finger inside, and the initial 10 faith points became single digits, while the magic of bestowing holy light only consumed .

The price/performance ratio 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 particularly slowly.

He speculated that it might have something to do with the number of believers, their piety and whether they pray regularly.

The reason why Holy Light was added to Viola's skill list was, on the one hand, to do an experiment, and on the other hand, to let Viola use this skill 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, if there is no benefit, why should we believe in you?

For example, when doing business, one would worship the God of Wealth or Guan Yu, or when going out to sea to fish, one would offer sacrifices to the Dragon King. These all have a purpose.

Putting down the headset, Li Chengxi stretched.

The speed of time in the game is the same as in reality, but there is a time difference of about four hours. It is 5:30 pm in the game, but it is already 9:30 pm in real time.

He gave the shop windows one last check, closed his notebook, and went upstairs.

I was too focused on the game yesterday and didn’t sleep well. Today, Li Chengxi plans to take a shower and go to bed early.

Apparently he didn't notice that the religious style he accidentally created was becoming increasingly strange...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Time passed quickly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Chengxi opened the shutter of the store, stood at the door and stretched his body while watching the gradually becoming lively street.

"Good morning, Brother Li."

"Good morning, be careful when riding your bike, and get some bread before going to cram school."

"No no, I'm going to be late!"

The kid from the hardware store next door got on his bike and soon disappeared around the corner of the street.

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 took two steps closer and asked:

"Brother Zhang is taking his sister-in-law out?"

"It's summer vacation for my kids, so I'm thinking of taking my wife and kids to the beach for a few days."

"Your family is really cool."

"You should get married soon too."

Brother Zhang waved his hand:

"Stop talking, I'm leaving."

"Drive carefully." "Okay, see you later."

Brother Zhang's family runs a small restaurant not far from the house. The food is cheap and the quantity is large. Li Chengxi mainly relies on their meals to survive.

Zhang's family went out to play, and Li Chengxi didn't trust other takeouts, so he would probably have to eat instant noodles every day.

Watching the van disappear around the corner, Li Chengxi turned around, sat down behind the cashier counter, and opened his laptop.

Nothing happened in the game during these three days, and it was very dull.

Viola, who has attracted much attention, has meetings every day, goes out to talk with the residents of Leon Fortress, and then has meetings again. And every time she prays, Viola always says that she hopes the Demon King will guide her on the way forward.

Logically speaking, how would Li Chengxi know how to give guidance?
The only thing he wanted Viola to do before was to send out scouts to look around, and she had already sent them out, so there was really no need to talk to her again.

Because the process of these three days was too repetitive, Li Chengxi was tired of it.

As the screen lit up, a luxurious pixel-style bedroom appeared on the screen. Viola with red hair was lying on the bed in a very bad sleeping posture.

There is a string of 'zzzz' floating next to the head, which is really a very classic 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, then 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 tells the cause and effect from her perspective.

But after playing for a few days, Li Chengxi found that this game is 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 the Leon Fortress alone. It is okay for Li Chengxi to watch anyone's daily life he wants. There is no need to always focus on one person.

Just as he was getting a little tired of always paying attention to Viola, Li Chengxi zoomed the screen to the size of the map and began to check the new areas explored by the scouts.

The Leon Fortress is indeed located 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 not even a town-sized gathering place has been found.

Since the mounted scouts could only walk on flat ground and main roads, the fog of war and explored areas on the map looked like they had been gnawed by a dog, which made Li Chengxi, who had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, very unhappy. He really wanted to tear off the black fog of war with his own hands.

The camera zooms in and out of the wilderness, and occasionally you can spot some wilderness animals, such as goats on the rock walls, wild wolves in the jungle, and so on.

Theoretically, if you zoom in to the maximum, you can even see bugs lying on the leaves, but bugs are really too small. They are just one or two pixels in the pixel-style game screen, so they are hard to notice.

After casually looking around to see if there was anything noteworthy in the newly explored wilderness, Li Chengxi moved the mouse and clicked on Heim Village, which was closest to Leon Fortress.

There is Viola in Leon Fortress. She should be able to promote the Demon God and help attract more believers, but there is no one outside Leon Fortress to help.

Li Chengxi wanted to see if he could also include Heim Village in the scope of intervention.

However, he had no idea what to do specifically yet, so this time he shifted his focus away from Viola, intending to come to Heim Village for investigation.

At this time, the sky in the game was just beginning to turn 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 village entrance.

At first glance, they look like a family of three, but a closer look reveals that they are actually a grandparent and grandchildren, an old man, an old woman and a child.

The old man was carrying a hoe, the old woman was beside him, as if giving instructions, and the child was grunting and holding a basket and passing it over. A big yellow dog was circling around the child.

Since the characters are all in Q-version pixel style with two heads and a body, Li Chengxi thinks the basket may be bigger than the child.

This picture looks like farmers going out to work in the fields in the morning. Li Chengxi's hometown is also in the countryside. When he was a child, he saw his grandparents picking vegetables before dawn.

Having said that, I still miss it a little.
