Chapter 64: The Omnipotent Stone and Last Words

The Garlic Tribe was very cautious in exploring Mingyue Island.

They knew that salt could restrain crazy lemmings, but they still did not enter the depths of the island. The little people circled the periphery and gradually improved the map of the outermost circle of the island.

The fishing company, which has always advocated active exploration, also repeatedly reminded them on the paddle boat.

"Safety first."

"Don't be reckless."

"Rats will bite the boat at any time, and everyone must be on guard."

...

Lu Yao decided to help the little people this time.

He asked Isabel to transfer 4 spotted lynxes from the Western Continent. This was also the first time Lu Yao activated forest element creatures.

Before the operation, Lu Yao also asked Isabel for her opinion.

——Can lynxes deal with crazy lemmings?

"My lord, spotted lynxes cannot eat so many rats. But they are natural hunters and killers, and it is very easy to deal with rats. They are good helpers in large-scale eradication of rats on the island."

So, the spotted lynxes of the rat extermination special forces were sent to Mingyue Island by the paddle boat.

As soon as the four furry cats landed on the island, they started hunting.

Lu Yao looked down at the island.

On the screen, four yellow cats ran around, dealing with crazy lemmings one by one with one claw and one by one bite. Wherever the lynx went, there were dead rats everywhere.

There was no battle scene in this hunt.

Lu Yao was sure that the crazy lemmings were indeed ordinary animals, but they were transformed and mutated by magic potions. So the level display could not be seen.

The LV10 spotted lynx has the abilities of [Stealth], [Bleeding] and [Quick Strike]. When they encountered the rats here, it was a one-sided dimensionality reduction attack.

The crazy lemmings were strong in front of the timid Mingyue tribe, but they had no power to resist when they met real monsters.

The rats were killed and the corpses were scattered all over the ground, and finally fled into the sea and the mountains.

The lynx's pursuit continued.

However, their initial mission has been completed. A large area has been cleared on this island, enough for the little people to land safely.

Isabel walked all the way to the central area of ​​the island. It was also very desolate, with no vegetation, only stones and soil on the ground.

In the central area, there was a striking flat-topped mountain with some kind of broken ruins on the mountain. There was also a crooked stone tablet next to the ruins.

Lu Yao clicked on the ruins.

The screen showed: [This is a ruin. ]

Lu Yao thought that this was probably the ruins of the statue.

He asked Isabel to explore this ruin to see if she could find something.

Not long after, Isabel really made a discovery.

"My lord, I found the [Almighty Stone]."

Four glittering stones flew into the upper left corner of the screen.

At the same time, a new item [Almighty Stone] was added to the game interface, and the display bar automatically shrank. Lu Yao clicked it to see the details.

...

[Almighty Stone]: Basic material for forging treasures, a rare mineral.

Heating with the fire of faith, there is a certain probability that a treasure can be cast. Continue to refine with the Almighty Stone, there is a certain probability that the treasure can be strengthened and upgraded. The higher the level of the treasure, the more difficult it is to strengthen the Almighty Stone.

...

Lu Yao came to his senses now.

The [Damaged Magic Potion Crucible] of the player Ming Shen seems to be made of [Almighty Stone].

No wonder the crucible feels much weaker than other treasures. It is a defective product made by a novice.

Wait.

There are four [Almighty Stones] here. Where did they come from? The player has been dead for so long. Is this the equipment dropped by the statue?

Or is there an Almighty Stone in this place?

Lu Yao stared at the screen with his eyes fixed on the temple.

He turned on the piano mode with his fingers.

- Dig around here to see if there are other Almighty Stones.

- Mobilize others to dig together!

...

Lu Yao kept a close eye on the island, waiting for the feedback from the little people.

In a few minutes, Isabel led people to dig a huge pit under the ruins of the temple.

The top of the pit was covered by many huge rocks, and a passage leading to the underground had been dug out below, and the cave was glittering. There were also some dried rat corpses inside.

Isabel entered the mine alone and found a few more [Almighty Stones] inside, but she was not sure what was at the bottom.

Lu Yao took a sip of cold water and sorted out his thoughts.

The temple was surrounded by the mining area of ​​​​Almighty Stone, and Mingshen was sitting on a treasure mountain that was enough to make many players envious.

So Mingshen has been trying to secretly make props. He used faith as fuel to create treasure embryos, and then smelted them bit by bit to obtain finished treasures.

After calming down a little, Lu Yao brought Mingshen's perspective and further understood the reasons for his behavior.

The power of the god player comes from population and faith.

The population cannot be increased rapidly in a short period of time, and usually requires long-term development.

To achieve explosive growth, either other human groups must be annexed or a baby boom will occur. But the human base in the tribal era was not large, and even if other tribes were annexed or a baby boom occurred, the number of people who increased was also limited.

Relatively speaking, the acquisition of faith is more intuitive.

Compared with the slow increase in faith brought about by population growth, the fixed income of props and treasures is visible to the naked eye.

Take Lu Yao himself as an example.

Including the [Ghost White Horse], he now holds 8 props, and 264 points of faith are credited every day.

This is much faster than cultivating tribal villains to gain faith.

Since he controls the almighty stone mine, Mingshen naturally focuses on mining. The sooner the finished props are made, the more considerable the subsequent faith growth and accumulation will be.

As for the believers, as long as they are not starving to death, they will be released first.

But Mingshen may not have expected that the Mingyue Tribe could not even deal with the [Barnyard Monster]. This forced him to do it himself, with miracle attacks and making potions with crucibles.

He created crazy lemmings that restrained the barnyard monster, but it also caused a subsequent chain reaction.

One wrong step led to another. The crazy lemmings that eliminated the barnyard monster became a more difficult large-scale disaster, and the weak Mingyue Tribe could not resist it. When Mingshen reacted, everything was too late.

The snowball pressing on Mingyue Island was getting bigger and bigger. Without special countermeasures, it could not be stopped.

Lu Yao said silently.

You can go with peace of mind. I have helped you get revenge. It is our duty to recast the glory of the gods.

After a while, Lu Yao turned his attention to the stone tablet.

The stone tablet did not have any hints.

But there were some vague traces on the ground under the stone tablet, which seemed to have some specific rules.

Lu Yao identified them and found that the cracks on the ground formed several crooked Chinese characters: I fuck you XX rat!

He agreed in his heart.

Good scolding.

However.

Although the rats really deserved to die.

Although your luck was not very good...

But brother, you are also a real shame for players. You can be so bad that you can be knocked down by a group of rats and cancel your account.

...

Lu Yao changed his mood and started to tinker with the [Almighty Stone].

Open world games cannot lack the link of strengthening and manufacturing, just like the West cannot be without Jerusalem, and it is necessary to taste it.
