Chapter 5 Hero Awakens

Lu Yao clicked [Yes].

White light flashed on the two pixel figures, and the title of [Hero] suddenly appeared on their heads.

What made Lu Yao happy was that after the prophet, the hero character could also be guided and operated.

He selected certain places, and the two heroes would explore and patrol in that area. Compared with the prophet who likes to use thinking, the hero is better at exploring everywhere and field investigation.

In addition, repeatedly clicking on the pig and fish brothers will enter a more detailed character interface.

This interface contains pixel portraits of two male heroes. The hero who likes pigs has well-developed muscles, and the hero who likes fish looks slender and flexible. They all wear the same leather vest and have no other equipment.

…

[Hero Lv1] Fisherman

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

…

[Hero Lv1] Hunter

Attack 2 Defense 1 Knowledge 0 Mana 0 Luck 0 Morale 0

…

The pig and fish brothers used to be fishermen and hunters.

Their panel data is a bit mixed, but after all, they are heroes awakened from ordinary pixel men, so we can't expect too much.

What about the prophet?

Lu Yao clicked on the prophet continuously, and the character interface was opened.

The prophet's portrait was topless, looking up at the sky.

…

[Prophet Lv1] Farmer

Attack 0 Defense 0 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 comprehend various abilities.

…

Compared to the pig and fish brothers, the prophet has a special ability [Wisdom].

Lu Yao put the mouse on the six attributes, and the effect of each attribute was displayed on the screen.

Attack: Every 1 point of attack increases the damage of all members of the hero unit by 3%.

Defense: Every 1 point of defense increases the health of all members of the hero unit by 3%.

Knowledge: Every 1 point of knowledge increases the maximum mana by 10 points and the daily mana recovery by 1 point.

Mana: Every 1 point of mana increases the spellcasting effect by 5% and reduces the spell cooldown by 4%.

Luck: Every 1 point of luck gives all members of the hero unit a 4% chance to double attack, triggering random beneficial events.

Morale: Every 1 point of morale gives each member of the hero unit a 4% chance to enter a high morale state. In this high morale state, the movement speed doubles, the attack speed doubles, and it lasts for 10 seconds.

Seeing the descriptions of these six attributes, Lu Yao had a bottom line in his mind.

This is very similar to the Heroes of Might and Magic series. It seems that both the prophet and the hero can lead soldiers to fight in the future.

The population of the Garlic Tribe is sparse, and production is in the early primitive hand-made farming. There is no invention of farm tools, no smelting, and no mastery of making weapons. It will take a process to produce professional soldiers.

Lu Yao selected the Pig Fish brothers together and asked them to explore the forest together.

At present, they can only rely on two bachelor heroes. I hope they can have some good luck.

A few minutes later, the Pig Fish brothers really got something in the forest.

"Found the settlement of the forest tribe!"

"The forest tribe recognizes our beliefs, acknowledges that we are also the people of God, and is willing to communicate with us."

"We are treated well, and they want to exchange leather and meat for garlic from the tribe."

Lu Yao asked them to return to the tribe and meet with the prophet.

After learning about the forest tribe's demands, the prophet fell into thought.

"Should I tell the forest tribe about the black bear? The garlic tribe is still very weak. Trading with the forest tribe now is likely to attract attacks from the devil believers."

"But this is also an opportunity for the tribe to go out to the outside world, to trade the leather and meat we lack, and to establish a good relationship with the forest tribe."

"It's really a difficult choice."

Lu Yao chose the prophet and moved him directly to the forest.

Development is the hard truth.

If the tribe wants to avoid being beaten, it must seize every opportunity to develop rapidly. Otherwise, after the forest tribe is killed, the devil believers will turn around and deal with the garlic tribe. Now can't miss the opportunity.

An exclamation mark appeared above the prophet's head.

"I came to the forest without knowing it. It seems that this is the will of the gods. The gods think that we should unite with the forest tribe. Let's do it."

The prophet entered the woods and a pixel man came out to greet him. The pixel man wore a leather vest, which is also the symbol of the forest tribe.

A path was opened in the forest, leading to another tribal settlement deep in the forest. On the computer screen, the observable boundary expanded further outward.

Lu Yao saw it clearly from the God's perspective.

The number of people in the forest tribe seemed to be hundreds, living in various tree houses in the forest.

Unlike the garlic tribe, where the little people did everything, the forest tribe had two clear professions.

The farmers specialized in growing berries and mushrooms and exchanged food with others.

The hunters used traps and wooden spears to hunt birds, hares and monkeys. They traded their prey with farmers and made leather from the fur of the prey.

Usually, the farmers would stay in the tribe to take care of their berry bushes and mushroom fields, while the hunters would go deep into the forest or into the mountains next door to look for various prey.

The leader of the forest tribe is called the Shaman, who wears a wooden mask. The Shaman and the Prophet have been talking, but the conversation is not displayed on the screen. It seems that the two little figures have opened a private chat channel.

About ten minutes later, several messages suddenly appeared on the game interface.

[The prophet told the forest tribe about the attack of the demon believers, and the attitude of the forest tribe became friendly. ]

[The prophet taught the forest tribe how to grow and use garlic, and the attitude of the forest tribe became intimate. ]

[The gift was completely completed, and garlic was integrated into the world. ]

[The forest tribe and the garlic tribe successfully formed an alliance, and your faith will spread in the forest tribe. ]

Lu Yao was slightly relieved.

The prophet made continuous contributions.

With hundreds of people on the forest tribe side, there is a chance to gain a few believers, which are the sources of faith value that Lu Yao currently needs.

The alliance gave the garlic tribe a reliable trading partner.

Most importantly, the [Gift] has also been completed.

He quickly opened the temple interface.

Sure enough, the [Gift] slot has been emptied.

In other words, now another thing can be transmitted to provide remote support to the garlic tribe.

Lu Yao was excited for a few seconds and fell into deep thought.

What exactly is the most needed thing for the garlic tribe at present?

Writing?

Ironware?

Pottery?

Food?

…

Lu Yao played with the [Energy Cane] in his hand, and all kinds of ideas popped up in his mind. Each of these things seemed to be useful and important to the Garlic Tribe.

Just when he was having trouble choosing, another line of subtitles appeared on the computer screen.

[The Forest Tribe offered a sacrifice to thank you for the garlic you gave them. ]

The second sacrifice!

Lu Yao quickly opened the temple.

A green plant appeared in the [Sacrifice] slot, and it looked like a cactus.

…

[Cactus Follower]: Faith +1/hour.

Loyal servants of the gods, they obey the orders of the gods, are responsible for cleaning and offering in the forest temple, and are a group of reliable and hardworking elves. They are usually in the form of cacti, and will become servants in front of the gods.

…

Lu Yao was stunned.

Alive?

He quickly took out the [Sacrifice].

In a flash, a round cactus appeared on the keyboard.

It looked about the size of Lu Yao's fist, and its appearance was no different from the cacti on the market, with spikes all over its plump green sphere.

Suddenly, the cactus shook slowly, and grew slender green arms and legs.

It bent its knees, and its round body (or head) was pressed against the table, and it knelt down solemnly to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao tried to say, "Can you clean?"

The cactus follower was still kneeling on the ground and nodded.

"Then clean the floor here."

The cactus follower received the order, jumped off the table, landed gracefully and steadily, and then ran on the ground. It trotted on the ground, and wherever it went, the dust, hair and debris on the floor were swept away.

These clumps of dust and garbage were adsorbed on the surface of the cactus, gathered together by it, and compressed into a ball.

It was like a small biological vacuum cleaner, and soon cleaned the floor spotlessly, even the debris and old dirt in the gaps were rolled out. The old-fashioned floor tiles with cracks were shining brightly, as if they had been waxed and maintained at a 4S shop.

Lu Yao crossed his legs, opened a bottle of Coke he bought yesterday, and watched the cactus work, feeling inexplicably comfortable.

So this is the happiness of the gods.
