Chapter 56 The residents of the labyrinth are so hungry that they are dizzy
Official website of "Calamity OL".
It is rare that there is no official update today, but the forum is still as lively as ever.
Yiye Zhiqiu: "Brothers!!! This game is more complete than we imagined! Huwan and I scouted the area and found that outside the maze there are not only human cities, but also realistic mountains, rivers and even giants. The sea!"
Gou Shi: "What the hell?!"
Pig head knight: "Really or not?!"
The old man at the entrance of the village: "Have you seen the monster in the sea?!"
Yiye Zhiqiu: "I didn't see that. We just walked around the beach and continued to the southwest. There is an endless swamp there, sandwiched between the coastline and the mountains, extending southward. On the way we met several different species of lizard people. They can use tools and fire."
Yiye Zhiqiu: "I can only try to speculate. That place should be outside the sphere of human influence and belongs to the territory of the lizard people..."
Ichichiki Yiye: "By the way, I will open a new post in a while and update the map on it. This game does not have a screenshot function, so it is hand-drawn, please understand."
Dragon Slaying Warrior: "Brother, I know you are an insider, so just give me a closed beta account. T.T"
Having been unruly all his life: "Let's see how long you can keep editing it. (laughing) (sweat soybean)"
· The past is like smoke: "Do you have any recommended second-hand equipment? The budget is five hundred yuan, urgent..."
· Gou Shi: "If you don't understand, just ask, is this compensation? It feels like the budget is more than before. (Funny)"
/>
Huwan: "No, buddy, with this budget, you can actually buy a new one. (Khan)"
"..."
…
The sun is setting in the west.
Luo Yan, who had been reviewing his homework for a long time, stretched out on his chair and took a moment to peek at the sand sculptures on the forum.
Hence, these guys are also talented people.
There are those who want to buy ghost coins and want to send them to their deceased grandma, some who have not even entered the game yet, and some who want to send selfies and cpdds...
"The number of cloud players has begun to increase, and it is really not possible to just ignore it."
Luo Yan thought for a while, and then gave instructions to Youyou.
Check out the soul level in the game. If you haven’t entered the game yet, write an internship.”
Yuyou: “Hmm, leave it to me, Lord Demon King!”
This matter can only be left to it.
Luo Yan himself has no operating authority and cannot say anything on the forum.
But there’s nothing much to say.
Anyway, the smart little players have already said everything he wanted to say for him.
Seeing that it was time for dinner, Luo Yan got up and walked to the kitchen, humming a tune and cooking himself a bowl of bacon porridge, and grilled half a lizard tail.
According to the experience of Professor Enos, if you don’t know where to eat monsters, eating the tail is a better choice. As long as it's cooked, it's basically not a big problem.
He didn’t know what the principle was, anyway, adventurers in this world did it the same way.
As for the stove for cooking, it is naturally a magic circle.
Compared to the fire lit by firewood, although the fire lit by the magic circle has less soul, it also has less smoke and incomplete combustion of carbon monoxide.
This is actually a pretty amazing ability.
Perhaps because of the lack of ideological enlightenment and liberation, people in this world do not realize how amazing black technology they actually possess.
Including but not limited to "refrigerators that do not require refrigerant" and "air exchangers that do not need to be connected to the outside world".
Luo Yan deliberately cooked too much for dinner and ordered the players to give some of the remaining porridge to the captives. He went to the counter of the NPC store and teased the cute cat lady with a roasted lizard tail.
Sarah is the type who enjoys everything she eats. As long as she sees something to eat, her eyes will light up, and as long as she can eat enough, her ears will twinkle with happiness.
Looking at the cat enjoying the delicious food, Luo Yan felt that the fatigue of the day was healed.
Is this what it feels like to be a breeder?
It will be perfect if we get a dog again.
On the other side, the prisoners squatting in the stone prison looked at Sarah's direction with envy and jealousy.
Stockholm syndrome is developed in this way, and jealousy is an early symptom.
After several days of training or frightening, Luo Yan only treated them a little better, and they gradually regarded themselves as members of the cemetery.
Rexen remained silent, Greyhound was envious and desperate, and Chris stared at Sarah with the same jealousy as Eminem.
The only difference is that Chris will add a sentence while being jealous.
"Huh, men...are all about looks, tsk."
Greyhound glanced at Chris silently, and then looked at Rexon, who had replaced Bond and became mute.
"I suddenly felt that... Chris is also quite pretty."
Rexon said in a hoarse voice without even bothering to raise his eyelids.
"I think you have been locked up for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone bumped into the stone prison like a vicious dog, holding on to the stone fence with both hands.
"What the hell do you mean - ahhh~"
"Be quiet."
Looking at the prisoners who were having a conflict, Luo Yan didn't bother to ask the reason, and directly threw a soul-draining shot at them. It wasn't until someone rolled his eyes and slumped on the ground that he ended the discipline.
But this is actually a good sign.
According to Professor Enos's theory, there are only two situations in which captives will not provide the power of faith due to torture.
One situation is that the training is broken, and the soul completely loses its response to external stimulation.
There is another situation where it is tamed, and it will automatically contribute faith points even if it does not accept external stimulation.
For example, Eminem is.
Soul draining is almost a reward for this guy. Luo Yan sometimes feels so disgusted that he is embarrassed to use it on him.
This theory was brought into the system of senior Lint Isaac, which actually means that temporary income is incorporated into the "daily growth" item.
Although the one-time contribution is not much, you will contribute every day in the future, so it is a good thing.
Thinking of the lifelong psychological shadow he had caused to these little thieves, Luo Yan became even more satisfied with his inappropriate behavior.
Once the thorough training is successful, he can release these "missionaries" and let them spread the terror of the Demon King in human towns.
After completing the routine work, Luo Yan opened the properties panel and took a look. He made this unexpected and surprising discovery.
【Daily faith value: 2500 (+211)】
Hum?
Why has the daily growth value increased again?
And after this increase, the increase in faith value seems to have finally stabilized. It is no longer a range of values like before, let alone jumping up and down.
Of course, it may be that the fluctuating data is hidden.
Although he couldn't figure out why it increased this time, Luo Yan could probably guess a little bit.
It seems that either the Brotherhood in Thunder City has developed new believers, or the church in Silverpine Town has begun to mix the devil's personal belongings into the prayer content.
In short, everything is developing in a good direction.
Luo Yan suddenly felt that it was not that difficult to collect the 100,000 faith points needed to upgrade the silver.
Even with the current increase, it would be enough to stay idle for a hundred days. ……
It’s late at night.
Sarah yawned and went to sleep, and the players also went offline one after another. Only some ruthless people who were full of liver and night owls who stayed out at night remained online.
Luo Yan practiced leveling with wild crypt spiders in the maze for a while. When it was almost early in the morning, he took a look at his future palace on his horse.
After consuming three hundred Earth Wood Spiders, Shadow Weaver's Nest created an engineering miracle, advancing a full hundred meters into the huge mountain in just one day without a shield machine!
Speak the truth.
With such ability, he was not sent to dig the walls of Thunder City. Luo Yan felt that the previous Demon King was really a noob.
Of course.
Maybe humans have their own countermeasures.
Furthermore, the crypt spiders at that time did not seem to have formed large or small tribes. Guys with amazing skeletons like Gachi and Arachnos seemed to have appeared after the death of the demon king.
"Sure enough, times create heroes."
The ancients do not deceive me!
Luo Yan was so impressed that he suddenly spoke his native language.
Alakdo, who was being ridden by the Demon King, naturally did not understand and asked cautiously.
“Sorry, Lord Demon King, what did you just say?”
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"It's nothing, I'm saying that you, the Shadow Weaver clan, are very capable. Even by the standards of Hell and the standards of the Demon City, you are the most diligent!"
This is true.
The lazy guys in the Magic City are most energetic when they are working all day long. Even the goblins are spoiled like humans.
Hhearing this compliment, Arakedo was full of pride and energy. He had nowhere to release his energy, so he went to the construction site to shout a few more words.
The little guys carrying the earth on their backs worked harder, and their eight legs ran like hot wheels.
Just when Luo Yan was about to go to bed and end this fulfilling day, another surprise came to his door.
The little devil he sent away earlier came back with the "attitude" of the Nightmare Land...
...
At the entrance to the first floor of the maze, where the "Blood Ritual" was laid out, Luo Yan stood in the shadows as usual, receiving the envoys from the Nightmare Land with the same standards and etiquette.
Fifty little devils holding white follicles were waiting quietly outside the hall.
That thing looks like an ostrich egg, but there is no hard shell, replaced by a tough mucous membrane.
As the representative of the mission, the little devil named Missy cautiously folded her wings and walked into the hall.
Perhaps because there were so many people here this time, this timid little guy was not frightened to the point of losing his strength. He just shrank his shoulders in fear and crawled under the majesty of the lizard-man zombies.
"Respected Lord Demon King..."
Suppressing the tiredness in his heart, Luo Yan patiently listened to the opening remarks that were twice as long due to his stuttering.
Finally reached the key point.
Missi, on behalf of Queen Sissi of the Nightmare Land, accepted the surrender agreement proposed by the Necropolis. In exchange for a monthly tribute of a certain amount of little devil eggs, she whitewashed the identity of the rebels and became the vassals of the Demon King.
For this group of little devils, this is the friendliest result, and it is a smooth landing.
As for Luo Yan, he also got what he wanted without any bloodshed.
The only thing that surprised him was one thing.
“Why fifty?”
Missy stiffened, her face was covered with sweat again, and she glanced behind her nervously.
Seeing that there were no other little devils following her, she stammered and spoke, and at the same time her little head started working rapidly.
"This is, yes... it's a little bit of Her Majesty Sissi's thoughts!"
That's right!
It’s my heart!
After pondering this word over and over again, Missy couldn't help shouting out in excitement, and gave herself a thumbs-up for her anxious self.
Finally there is no room for gossip this time, let’s get over this matter quickly!
However, the Demon King standing in the shadows still frowned slightly.
What is your intention?
What kind of thoughts do you have?
Compared with such ambiguous words, what he wanted to hear more was "loyalty", and he should have taught them this answer. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they chose to avoid it in their diplomatic rhetoric.
If it was a general interpersonal communication, he would not dwell on one or two wordings, or even just skip them.
However, this is a diplomatic occasion after all, especially since the other party had proposed marriage to him not long ago, so these words are worth pondering.
The more Luo Yan thought about it, the more he realized something.
This saying means that you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
If you don’t accept it, the other party also has room for maneuver. But once he accepted it, loyalty seemed to become an accessory of his heart.
But when did the little devil become so good at beating around the bush?
Still saying that I think too much.
Luo Yan thought for a moment, and finally decided to trust his intuition and gave what he thought was the most appropriate answer.
"Since it is your Majesty the Queen's wish, then the Demon King will accept it."
After a pause, he continued.
"In addition, tribute is tribute, and the intention is heartfelt. Since 30 little devil eggs are gifts, the Demon King cannot take it for free. I happen to have some trophies snatched from humans here. You can take some back and call them gifts in return from the necropolis."
Of course, what he gave them could not be real trophies. They were mainly pine nut oil, wine, bread, cheese and sausages sent from Silverpine Town.
The harvest day in Silverpine Town is coming soon, and Sheriff Adlai is a very knowledgeable guy, and he also knows how to give gifts during the holidays.
Of course Luo Yan would not treat him badly.
During the spring plowing next year, he will produce nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to give the residents of Silverpine Town a little devil shock, as a return gift from His Majesty the Devil to his surface vassals.
That thing is much easier to use than the magic that accelerates growth.
According to Luo Yan's observation, although natural spells can accelerate the growth of crops, due to limited soil fertility, there is a drawback of "just growing but not bearing fruit".
But we can wait until the time comes.
To what extent Sheriff Adlai can control Silverpine Town also determines whether his strategic approach to the area is based on "spreading fear" or "promoting development."
He still has to observe and observe.
Hhearing that there was actually a gift in return, Missy's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise.
「人类的战利品？！魔魔魔王大人，小的敢问一句，请问是吃的吗？」
罗炎点了下头，威严的说道。
Missy was so excited that she almost jumped to the sky, her little fists clenched tightly.
「Great!!!」
Great?
Looking at the little devil crying with joy, Luo Yan couldn't help but become speechless.
How can these guys who eat everything be so hungry?
Luo Yan originally thought that he was not a human being enough.
I didn’t expect that I still lost to the previous Demon King in an unfair competition...
