Chapter 50: When humans think, God laughs
After treating Isabella to a simple celebration feast, Lu Yao sent her back to the pixel world.
The reason was the Blood Knight.
Speaking of this newly acquired level 60 Apostle, Lu Yao had mixed feelings.
He was pleased with his level and abilities.
The Blood Knight, Neville, had a solid attribute panel, strong and tough, capable of both offense and defense. His skills, "Corruption Creation" and exclusive ability "Flesh Weakness," were divine techniques for recruiting and training soldiers.
However, Lu Yao was worried about Neville’s lack of intelligence.
Not long ago, Lu Yao gave the Blood Knight his first command.
- Eliminate the enemies around the castle.
"Yes, God Yao."
The Blood Knight wielded his great sword and charged out of the castle, slashing at anyone he encountered, indiscriminately killing all living creatures in the vicinity.
In his eyes, enemies included not only wandering savages, corrupted beings without orders, escaped Salt Pool tribe merchants, loggers, salt workers, and shepherds...
Even the walking birds and passing rabbits did not escape the knight’s deadly hands.
As long as they were not followers of God Yao, the Blood Knight would kill them on sight.
Lu Yao was dumbfounded.
He quickly ordered him to stop and asked the Blood Knight.
- What are you doing?
"Eliminating enemies."
- Are civilians and birds dangerous?
"Dangerous civilians, dangerous birds."
Lu Yao felt that something was wrong.
Perhaps due to the lack of the basic ability "Wisdom," Neville did not possess Isabella’s intelligence and proactive thinking abilities.
He was more like a highly-leveled special soldier, faithfully executing combat orders.
But asking him to make creative changes and breakthroughs on his own? Sorry, he couldn’t do it.
Lu Yao finally understood.
Neville’s level was so high, yet the "Whistleblower" only bestowed him with the identity of a hero and did not transform him into an Apostle. This indeed made sense...
But it couldn’t be forced.
Everyone has their own expertise. Although the Blood Knight’s brain wasn’t very useful, his fists were strong. If he truly was an all-rounded hexagonal warrior, Lu Yao estimated that he wouldn’t be able to defeat him.
Lu Yao had a clear position for Neville: a synthetic soldier factory, a training machine, and a powerful fighter.
These three roles didn’t require much intelligence, just the ability to follow orders.
Due to the Blood Knight’s inherent flaws, he lacked initiative and was rigidly dogmatic, making him completely unsuitable for flexible exploration and pioneering tasks.Rread latest chapters at n/ov(e)lbin(.)co/m
Lu Yao rummaged through a cabinet and found a Tongji version of "Advanced Mathematics".
He placed the book on the mouse and sent it into the pixel world, then waited anxiously for the reaction on the other side.
A moment later, the little people around the temple were the first to scream.
"Gift from the gods!"
"The gods have bestowed the gospel again!"
"What is this?"
"%¥&*))*@!¥......"
"I can’t understand it at all."
"What on earth is this?"
"Text, symbols, pictures... connected... don’t understand... can’t comprehend... too profound."
Lu Yao wanted to laugh.
Don’t mention you guys, if you ask me to read it now, I can’t understand many parts. I’ve long forgotten.
Question marks popped up above the heads of the tribal little people, and they had various thoughts about the latest divine gift.
"Perhaps this is a divine book left by the gods, telling how to become a god... I must understand this book, maybe I can be on par with the gods!"
"This book is strange. The symbols and text inside should have recorded something. It could be the history of the gods, or it could be a revelation that can predict the future. No matter how much time it takes, I have to translate it."
"Divine text! It’s divine text on it! Damn it, why can’t I understand... Forget it, I’ll continue reading tomorrow. I’m going fishing first."
"The prophet is dead, no one can understand the will of the gods anymore. Prophet, you died so miserably."
"Apostle must understand. I want to copy this divine book, if I can meet the Apostle, ask her for advice. The Apostle is so beautiful, she must understand everything..."
...
Now, the person closest to the gods in the tribe is the astrologer Shah Khan.
A box also appeared above his head: "Could it be that what is recorded above is the essence of the belief in gods, and we need to interpret it and then spread it to various places?"
Watching the many speculations of these pixel little people, Lu Yao thought of an old saying: When humans think, God laughs.
To be honest.
Indeed.
He just did an experiment.
In the Garlic Tribe, there was one person who didn’t want to decipher "Advanced Mathematics". His perspective was different from most people.
"This thin and soft book is made of grass."
The inventor of the paddle boat, the genius young man Fish Lian said, "I want to take it apart, maybe I can make something like this."
"......"
Across from him, the old leader Fish Zou didn’t say a word.
