Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 9 Wooden Plate
Li Chengxi looked at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren at the door. Perhaps his childhood memories aroused his interest. So he moved the mouse again, adjusted the camera back to the default ratio, and slightly enlarged the picture.

At this time, the camera passed through the simple thatched roof and entered the house.

This perspective is very similar to that of The Sims, except that Li Chengxi cannot use the mouse to freely control what the little characters do.

The house can’t be said to be bare, but there is definitely nothing in it.

A storage rack, a large cabinet, two beds, one large and one small, and a simple table and chairs for eating. Compared with the decoration style in the castle, it is completely different. It feels that the stables in the castle are more luxurious than those in a farmer's home.

If there is any new discovery Li Chengxi made during these three days, it is that he discovered a convenient shortcut key.

Press the alt key, all items and NPCs in the camera will be highlighted, and their names will be marked above.

This method can also be used when the camera is in the wild to find animals in the forest. If used in conjunction with the height adjustment button on the right side of the screen, you can even see where there are mineral veins.

However, this trick only works when the camera is at the default zoom ratio or larger. If the picture ratio is reduced, nothing will be displayed.

This function conveniently solves the problem of pixel style not being clear enough. After all, no matter how many details there are, the pixel style expression is difficult to recognize.

I pressed the alt key out of habit, and things in the room that I hadn't noticed just now appeared highlighted on the screen.

But most of them are designed to be hung on the wall or placed under the table.

Li Chengxi was about to leave and take a look at other houses in Heim Village when suddenly he noticed a long line of words on the shelf.

'Lilia's wooden tray'

This is quite rare, as there has never been an item with a person's name as a prefix before.

Li Chengxi placed the cursor on the shelf and turned the scroll wheel to zoom in.

When most of the area on the screen was filled with pixel wooden discs, Li Chengxi right-clicked the mouse and clicked Properties in the drop-down menu that popped up.

Name: Lilia's wooden tray

Grade: Decoration
Effect: None
Description: A wooden plate made by Lilia herself. Due to the special wood, it has the ability to contain magic power and can be used to make magic items.

Viola's sword called Scarlet Fang is a magic item, and Lilia's wooden plate is equivalent to the blank of the magic item.

It's something quite special anyway.

Li Chengxi stretched out his hand towards the screen. This time his hand successfully entered the screen, and at the same time, he felt the touch of wood at his fingertips.

With a strong grab, a large plate made of wood was pulled out from the screen.

The faith value consumed by picking up items in the game is very small. Li Chengxi has experimented with it over the past few days and found that it may be related to the weight, but the consumption is generally in single digits.

And if he wanted to get a certain object, it was best to zoom in on the screen so that it would be more precise. Otherwise, if he put his finger in, it would likely result in the same effect as the first time he accidentally inserted his finger, because the affected area was too wide.

"For a kid's craftsmanship, it's pretty good."

The plate is very neat and the edge is flat. You should know that this kind of wooden plate may be cut higher on one side and lower on the other if you are not careful.

But maybe because there was no sandpaper, the plate felt very rough and prickly.

He turned the plate over, and on the bottom was engraved a line of words that never looked like letters. In Li Chengxi's eyes, it twisted and became "Heim Village, Lilia".

He put the plate down next to the cash register and swiped the wheel to zoom out again, planning to talk about this later when Viola was at her morning prayers.

Remember that Viola has several magicians under her command. Maybe Viola can make it into a real magic item.

But when the screen was restored to the default ratio, Li Chengxi saw that the old lady and child who were at the door had entered the house. The child was pointing at the shelf and seemed to be crying loudly, with two big cartoon-style tears on his face.

"Forehead……"

Suddenly I felt a little guilty, as if Li Chengxi's behavior was like stealing a child's things.

Not very authentic.

Li Chengxi actually didn't think much about it at all. It was just like when playing an RPG game, he would rummage around in the NPC's house to see if he could find anything useful and take it.

He was about to put the plates back on the shelf when an idea suddenly struck him.

Maybe, this is an opportunity?

–‐‐——–‐‐——Demon King Calendar, year 648, April nd.

6:30 am.

As always, Viola led the Royal Guards to kneel in the chapel and pray, hoping to hear the holy voice of the Demon King God again.

"Cough cough!"

Knight Zora, who was holding out his hand to her left, coughed twice, which was very harsh in the silent chapel.

"I am so sorry, Your Highness."

"Zora, are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I probably just caught a cold on the way to Fort Ryan. I'll go find some herbs to drink and I'll be fine."

Viola nodded, facing the holy emblem again and bowed her head in prayer.

But just as Viola closed her eyes, she suddenly stood up again.

Under the surprised gazes of the Royal Guards, Viola took two steps back.

A ball of light appeared on the altar under the holy emblem, illuminating almost all the dark corners.

After a moment, the light dissipated, and Viola and the knights looked at each other in surprise.

Knight Zora said in astonishment:
"A... plate?"

"To be precise, it is a plate given by the Demon Lord. It is a holy object!"

Viola took two steps forward and picked up the plate as if it were a fragile item, then turned around and showed it to the other guards.

"Ahem, but what exactly does His Majesty want to convey to us? Your Highness, did you hear His Majesty's holy voice?"

Viola shook her head.

"I only heard the Lord tell me to step back a little. He didn't explain."

Among the guards, there was a very petite knight, probably only about 1.4 meters tall, who raised his hand and said:

“Is there any metaphor?”

"Shelley, you know?"

Seeing her colleagues looking over, the female knight named Shelley immediately stood up and said:

"Yes, Your Highness. I once met a traveling priest who told me that the messages that God conveys to mortals are always very vague and full of metaphors. It is difficult for mortals to understand the wisdom of God, so priests are needed to interpret it."

Although Viola announced that she was the first archbishop of the Demon King God, this was her first time as a clergyman, and another plate...

How should this be interpreted?

"Ahem, Your Majesty has given us a plate. Could it be that he wants to remind us that our current situation is surrounded like a plate?"

"Probably not."

Viola shook her head and said:

"I don't think it's that simple. I even think there should be more than one meaning."

Upon hearing this, the knights pondered and brainstormed. Some said that the king was hungry, some said that the plate was a powerful magic item, and some said that the Demon King wanted to tell Princess Viola that now was not the time for revenge and she should defend herself as much as possible.

Anyway, there are all kinds of meanings. It's really amazing that they can see more than ten different meanings from one plate.

Viola specifically asked Zora to write down the knights' guesses, while she herself pondered over them while holding a plate.

"A plate, a wooden plate, an empty wooden plate... Your Majesty wants to remind me that I am empty now? No, if I consider the power Your Majesty bestowed on me a few days ago..."

As she was thinking about this, her fingers unconsciously ran across the bottom of the wooden plate, and she felt a sharp pain.

The unpolished thorns on the bottom of the plate pricked Viola's fingers. She turned the plate over and saw the words "Helm Village, Lilia" engraved on it.
