Chapter 27 Ghost Faith Is Also Faith

Lu Yao stopped his vision above Sanilo City.

The infrastructure of this ghost town has reached the level of the feudal era: the ground is paved with stone slabs, various houses are built with a mixture of wood and stone, there are drainage ditches and flower beds along the ground, and even street trees are planted.

The residents of Sanilo are all ghosts. They are different from the normal pixel figures. Their bodies are translucent, just like enlarged versions of the gray figures above the heads of the previous barbarian tribes. Another characteristic of the ghost residents is that they have rank marks on their heads.

The vast majority of ghost residents are between LV1-LV5.

Soldiers range from LV5 to LV10. These ghostly figures are dressed in chainmail, copper helmets, and hold spears. They are completely different from ordinary citizens. They are real professional soldiers.

The soldiers were led by a [Commander] named Alex. His level is as high as LV12, wearing silver half-armor, holding a shield and a one-handed sword.

All ghosts have one ability: [Evasion].

…

【avoid】

Can avoid damage caused by some attacks. Compared with his own weak life, this probability is higher.

…

Sandworms also have this ability.

This ability is a kind of crushing for ordinary people.

The pixel villain ghosts have level marks on their heads, which means they are beyond the level of ordinary people. In other words, every ghost has the strength of a hero or a monster.

A city with tens of thousands of ghosts is a nightmare-level force to the surrounding tribal civilizations.

But who told me to have apostles?

Lu Yao looked at Isabel, who was surrounded by Mayor Chapman and Commander Alex.

Single-handedly breaking through the defense system of Sanilo City, this is the charm of Isabel.

Mayor Chapman pours bitter tears.

"Due to the existence of god totems, the fire of faith of other gods cannot be ignited here."

"It is also because of the influence of the totem that Saniro's ghosts cannot leave, and foreign ghosts cannot come in. Instead, some monsters can come here to destroy and kill."

"Sandworms in the desert sometimes attack the city, and it's very difficult for us to resist them every time."

"There are also sea monsters in the sea, and sometimes they attack the harbor."

"The number of ghosts in the city has been decreasing over the years. If this continues, Sanilo City will eventually perish."

Commander Alex also said: "The soldiers in the city are constantly attrition, and now there are only 58 soldiers. The defense force continues to weaken. Although I have been training ordinary citizens to become soldiers, the effect is not very good."

"..."

Isabel was silent for a moment: "In other words, the key to Sanilo's curse is the totem of the gods. As long as the totem is gone, the city will no longer have restrictions on faith and population."

"You're right."

Mayor Chapman immediately requested: "But human power cannot destroy the totem of the gods. It is the mark left by the god. Even if the statue carrier is destroyed, the mark will still remain."

"Only a god can stand against a god."

"Sanillo has always hoped that a god would come to save our city. We are willing to dedicate all of our faith just like we served the forest god in the past, and spread the blessings and name of the god to the places we have visited."

Isabel looked at the screen and knelt down on one knee.

A dialog box that only Lu Yao could see appeared above her head.

"Sir, do you want to accept the soul of Saniro?"

——Can ghosts provide faith?

"able."

Isabel said: "Everything in the world, as long as it has spiritual intelligence or wisdom, has the power of faith."

What else is there to say?

I want the whole city!

Lu Yao aimed his gaze at the square of Sanilo City.

The square is the heart of the city, where all the streets come together. The circular square is guarded by buildings similar to the town hall and watchtowers, and a blue sculpture stands in the center of the square.

Lu Yao took a closer look.

Oh, is this old acquaintance a praying totem?

Anyway, I had already struck one by lightning in the Donghe tribe, so there was no psychological burden on me to dismantle the second one.

Lu Yao clicked on the lightning in [Miracle] and started firing at the totem.

Lightning fell from the sky and disappeared without a trace after approaching the city.

[Because of the blessing of the divine totem, your miracle cannot take effect. 】

The totem's defense did not surprise Lu Yao. What surprised him was that after ten [lightning] shots were fired this time, the totem only had some cracks and was still standing.

He realized that there might also be a hierarchy of totems.

The totems here are much stronger than those of the Donghe tribe.

Lu Yao glanced at the upper right corner.

Population: 401 Faith: 522

There is still faith ammunition.

Isabel was watching from the side, and the ghosts of Sanilo City were also watching. The face of a god like herself was still very important. On a larger scale, it is related to the majesty of the future and whether the ghosts' faith is strong or not.

Now that we have reached this point, we must strive to win it all at once.

Lu Yao clicked [Lightning] wildly for a while.

Only then did he realize that a number appeared behind the lightning.

It turns out that the amount of [Lightning] - or intensity - can be selected at once.

Lu Yao filled it directly.

【Lightning】×25!

He locked the selected area over the totem and clicked the mouse.

A flashing blue arc light lit up in the sky of the pixel world. These blue lights gathered into a thunder pillar in the air and struck the God Praying Totem head-on!

This time it went smoothly. The totem was instantly turned into ash, and a large charred area appeared at the location of the sculpture.

As the totem was shattered, the residents of the entire Sanilo city cheered.

"The curse is lifted!"

"Long live God Yao!"

"We have a new god!"

"Sanilo is free!"

"Praise God Yao! Great God Yao!"

...

Mayor Chapman also had a smiley face symbol on his head.

He said to Isabel: "On behalf of all the citizens of Sanilo, I sincerely thank the gods for their mercy and tolerance. From now on, we Sanilo will believe in God Yao and offer our faith and loyalty."

Commander Alex also knelt on one knee: "Loyal to God Yao!"

The soldiers behind him also followed his example and knelt to express their loyalty.

"Loyal to God Yao!"

"Loyal to God Yao!"

Lu Yao stared at the upper right corner of the game interface at this time.

Faith did not move, maintaining 22 points.

He was muttering in his heart.

No way? Did he get fooled?

Just when he was worried, the faith value suddenly soared!

The faith jumped directly from 22 points to 10,754 points!

Lu Yao couldn't help but punch hard!

We became brothers!

This is the fast-paced gameplay of "God Simulator". Look for large population groups everywhere, no matter whether they are human or not, as long as they have faith, they can be included in the army. This is called expanding the audience and external demand.

After recovering a little from the joy of getting rich overnight, Lu Yao noticed that the population next to faith also soared.

Population: 11,133 Faith: 10,754

Ghosts do have faith, and they are also believers.

Lu Yao moved the mouse to the population column.

The detailed list appeared below for the first time.

Ghosts occupy the vast majority of the population, and the living have become a minority.

However, the next question also came.

How to deal with Saniro?

Mayor Chapman made a request to Isabel: "Apostle, the residents of Saniro are all ghosts. Ordinary people cannot see ghosts. Ghosts can only be seen by ghosts or other special and extraordinary beings."

"Normal urban development may no longer be suitable for Saniro."

"But ghosts also have their own advantages."

"We don't need food, we don't need to rest, and we have a long life. The more ghosts there are in Saniro, the stronger everyone will be... and higher-level ghost individuals will be born."

"Accidents often happen on the sea, so there are many dead souls. We want to connect them to Saniro, which will not only develop more believers for the gods, but also further expand the scale of the city."

This proposal was strongly affirmed and praised by Lu Yao.

This mayor named Chapman has something.

In the pixel world, population is the primary productive force!

Lu Yao gave his own suggestions through Isabel.

-It is recommended to search in the desert, where there should be many ghosts. There are also dead souls around the garlic tribe and in the forest all the way north along the desert.

Mayor Chapman saw that his opinion was affirmed, and a smiley face appeared above his head: "Okay, okay, we will send soldiers to pick up these ghosts later."

In Lu Yao's mind, he had a plan for the future development of the ghost town Saniluo.

As the saying goes, old people use old methods, new people use new methods.

The ghosts of the dead people from the Garlic Tribe and the surrounding tribes entered Saniluo and continued to shine and contribute to their faith, and build the world in another way after death.

The strength of ghosts is also directly related to the number of groups, which is a win-win situation.

Perfect.
