Chapter 165: How to Get the First Pot of Gold (Third Update)
Walking on the street, Liu Zi looked around curiously, feeling that everything was very fresh.
The buildings here look like some kind of caves, which may be related to the fact that the main race of the planet is a hedgehog-like creature.
Their thorns were originally a tool for protection, but after acquiring better weapons, the thorns have become something that needs to be abandoned.
In addition, Liuzi found that everything here was a bit monotonous. The buildings looked fashionable, but they always felt that something was missing.
Liuzi originally wanted to go to the bar to get some information and see if he could recruit some useful crew members, but just after taking a dozen steps, he saw a group of hedgehogs with few thorns approaching from a distance.
This is a very strange team. They stack the Arhats according to certain rules. Each layer is separated by wooden boards and mats of different colors, which makes them look like a black champagne tower.
At the bottom are the hedgehogs with their thorns pulled out. They seem to symbolize some kind of crime. Even though their bodies are dripping with blood, they still carry the sad plank on their backs and move forward with difficulty.
Then there are the hedgehogs who are born lacking some spines. These hedgehogs are of higher rank and are even allowed to have a small cloth pad on their back.
The top one is a hedgehog without thorns.
It is short in stature and sits high on the top of Tower E. Without thorns, it looks like a mouse, but it looks like it has a very high status.
Wait, it looks like it’s really a mouse!
Through his own glasses, Liuzi discovered that the other person was just an ordinary big mouse in the description of his glasses. He didn't know why the other person became one of the highest-status hedgehogs here, and even began to be worshiped by other hedgehogs.
After sighing at the vastness of the galaxy, Liu Zi stayed away from these strange guys and came to the bar.
The bar was buzzing with people.
Due to its proximity to the interstellar dock, in addition to the main race of hedgehogs, the bar here also has residents of other planets.
Interstellar Trader is not a particularly rare profession. This profession can make a lot of money, and it has no special shortcomings except that it is a bit dangerous.
This one is more dangerous, meaning the mortality rate is about 7%.
Some mature lines cannot make money. If the airframe cannot repair itself, running around until the end, you may not even be able to earn back the money to repair the airframe.
Some profitable routes are a bit dangerous, and interstellar pirates will lay traps on the only routes that merchants must take.
These traps are special force fields that will interfere with the signals on the passing merchant ships, causing their jump machines to generate false signals that "the destination has been reached."
When they stop, the second force field will lock them, and the interstellar pirates will engage in gang-hopping operations, jump directly to the merchant's ship, and then loot all the merchant's goods.
Compared with these merchants who hang their lives on their crotches, players' ships can recover on their own, so they can run some common routes and earn hard money.
But if you want to become bigger and stronger, you can only find those more dangerous routes, then you must have enough self-protection capabilities to be able to escape or even fight back when facing pirates.
After entering the bar and sitting down in a seat reserved for small animals, Liuzi discovered that the bartender here was a huge elephant.
Large animals like to do hard work. They can easily complete the tasks of hundreds of small animals by their own strength, and then sell their labor power at a good price.
Although he couldn't taste it, Liuzi ordered a glass of lemonade and drank it after paying.
The currency system adopted in the game is very interesting. It is not a general equivalent that actually exists, but a belief.
The coinage of faith is in the hands of the gods. Residents here need to choose a god and worship it. Half of the faith generated will be handed over to the corresponding god, and half will remain in their own hands.
Half of the amount handed over is the faith tax.
While making money out of thin air sounds great, it's not a particularly easy job. Worshiping a god must be sincere, since there will be no reward for dishonest worship.
Moreover, you cannot easily change the object of worship in the middle, otherwise you will be punished by the gods.
Worshiping for a long time will attract the attention of the gods, and finally you may see the gods coming and granting various blessings.
But some blessings are not a good thing. For example, the blessings of some gods make the pain-sensing nerves of living beings become particularly sensitive, causing gout-level pain whenever they walk.
In the eyes of God, He has satisfied the believers' desire to become more sensitive, and their hearts have become beautiful.
While drinking lemonade, Liuzi listened to Delta explaining everything about gods and beliefs in a voice that only he could hear.
This part of the content actually inspired Liuzi. He couldn't help but pick up a napkin, dip his paws in water, and start drawing carefully.
After a while, a vague pattern was left where the paper had infected it.
Thanks to the sensitivity of the somatosensory gloves, Liuzi can easily draw a good painting.
This painting was inspired by legends. The faces of the gods in the picture are blurred, and it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil, and it is impossible to distinguish gender.
Although it is a semi-finished product, you can still see the sacred temperament bred by the gods in the painting, giving it a special divinity that is different from ordinary people.
It took him more than ten minutes to complete the painting. He was quite satisfied with the water stains, and then he found that he was surrounded by small animals.
Some were staring at him, others at the painting, and the expressions on their faces were different, but overall they had the same expression.
That was the shock.
Liuzi didn't understand what they were shocked about, until a little bat came over and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing?"
"Painting."
"Is this a painting? Well, if I am wrong, please be careful Don't be angry. Are you imitating humans or gods in painting?"
Liuzi still didn't understand, until Delta said in a voice he could only hear: "In this world, all the paintings come from ancient humans, and all the paintings are Controlled by gods. These residents have not seen new paintings for a long time."
"Aren't there many statues in the first ring?"
"Ordinary people are not qualified to go to the first ring. Do you think they can see it?"
"Why ? Like this?"
"There are many reasons. Ordinary people lack some kind of artistic creativity, so they can't draw." Liu
Zi didn't know that this was the reason why the Far Travelers took away most of the Qing Qi in the first place.
The most beautiful and pure parts of human consciousness have been taken away, and the remaining animals and plants have no corresponding abilities at all, and cannot even draw a picture.
Art disappears here. People can appreciate art, but they can no longer create art.
Liuzi didn't know the reason for this.
But he knew that his chance to accumulate the first pot of gold had come.
Thanks to Leisure Reading Reader 2233 for the 500-point reward, and to Monotonous Luan for the 100-point reward. Thank you.
