Chapter 83: Reciprocity
The next day, an unexpected incident occurred in the company.
The cause was that a woman came early in the morning and pulled a promotional display stand downstairs, which read "Thank you Wu XX for taking care of my husband Fang X in bed, you are a good doctor and a good doctor of men's diseases."
Wu XX is a female employee of Lu Yao's company. When she saw the display stand, she turned around and ran away, but was caught by the other party and was scolded all the time.
This incident made people in the whole building stop and watch the excitement. Boss Huang wanted to persuade them to solve it privately, but he was dragged into the battle and got embarrassed.
Lu Yao also stood by the window to eat melons.
The intruder was fierce, making trouble all the way from downstairs to the company, and killing everyone in the office.
In the end, Boss Huang simply gave everyone a half-day leave and chose to avoid the sharp edge.
Lu Yao was overjoyed and immediately rode his bike all the way home.
...
Last night, he was tinkering with [Egil's Fire] and couldn't let go of this heavy firepower weapon.
In this fragmented world, the only long-range firepower Lu Yao had before was [Miracle], which theoretically can be released instantly in any corner of this world.
However, miracles also have disadvantages.
First of all, it consumes faith.
Then Lu Yao has to operate it himself. If the target is a high-speed moving individual, skills and micro-management are required.
[Egil's Fire] is different. It is a long-range killer that does not require faith support. It can cover a screen at most for range bombing, leaving the enemy nowhere to hide.
Although there are only 4 rounds of ammunition at present, its power is considerable.
In Lu Yao's previous live-fire exercise, as soon as [Egil's Fire] was fired, the meteor shower caused by it sank a small island.
Lu Yao also understood the strength of the underwater walker clan in the past.
Just imagine.
The deep-sea lord who turned into a sea fortress came and went in the sea like a ghost. It can dive into the deep sea at any time, hibernate under the sea at a faster speed, and float to the surface for a surprise attack when needed.
The Deep Sea Lord has excellent endurance in the ocean, has its own life recovery, and can recruit various marine creatures to strengthen itself when necessary.
Once the wonder [Egir Fire] is installed on the island on its back, it will be even more heavyweight.
The Deep Sea Lord patrolling the sea can use [Egir Fire] to aim and carry out range meteorite bombing once any threat is found.
If the opponent dives underwater, it will be exactly what the Deep Sea Lord wants, and underwater combat is also its home court.
The combination of [Deep Sea Lord] and [Egir Fire] is equivalent to maritime hegemony.
Lu Yao decided to enter [Black Abyss] next time and use [Egir Fire] to test it out to see how it works in actual combat.
However, he is going to slow down for now.
He has fought too many battles in the past two weeks, and staying up late makes him a little bit overwhelmed.
Gods also need a combination of work and rest.
…
Lu Yao asked Xiaohuo to make a cup of flower tea for him and poured a basin of steaming hot water for washing feet.
When it's cold, drink some hot tea and soak your feet, it's so comfortable.
After finishing, Lu Yao lay face down on the bed and said, "Xiao Huo, press."
"Yes."
The cactus climbed up Lu Yao's back carefully, and its slender green arms pinched his shoulders. It asked humbly, "My Lord God, how do you feel about the strength?"
"It's OK. Pinch my neck and waist too."
"Understood."
After Lu Yao's repeated training, the cactus follower has become familiar with the massage, and has mastered the importance and urgency just right.
Lu Yao lay on the bed and squinted his eyes comfortably.
Physical fatigue was relieved and relaxed by the massage.
Now it's time to enjoy.
Xiao Huo massaged Lu Yao's shoulders, waist and legs to relax him, making him feel refreshed all over, and the previous fatigue was instantly dissipated.
In a good mood, I'll work overtime.
Lu Yao got up and sat in front of the computer, returning his attention to the simulator.
There was a reminder on the screen at this time.
[The Garlic Tribe has made a sacrifice. ]
Are there any sacrifices?
Lu Yao clicked on the temple.
A rough brown ceramic cup appeared in the [Sacrificial] slot.
…
[Cup of Eternity]: Faith +1/hour.
As long as water is put into the cup, it will turn into sweet wine.
…
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
I can have a drink tonight.
A moment later, [Cup of Eternity] appeared on the computer desk.
It was a simple-looking ceramic cup with no patterns on the surface. It looked like a semi-finished pottery fired by a novice.
Lu Yao tried to pour the hot water from the kettle into it.
As soon as the hot water entered the Cup of Eternity, it cooled quickly, and the heat soon disappeared without a trace. Circles of circular ripples appeared on the surface of the water in the cup.
After a few seconds, the ripples disappeared, and the water in the cup returned to calm.
Lu Yao raised the ceramic cup and sniffed it under his nose.
There was indeed a faint smell of wine.
It seemed to have turned into wine?
Lu Yao put the cup down and looked at the cactus next to him: "Xiao Huo, try it first. See if there is any problem."
"Yes, Lord God."
The cactus picked up the pottery cup and pointed the cup mouth at his head. Transparent liquid flowed out of the cup and poured on the cactus covered with thorns. As soon as these liquids touched the cactus, they merged into its body without any splashing.
Its body shook for a while and almost lost its balance.
Xiao Huo tried to stand up straight, then crawled on his arms and knelt on the ground respectfully: "Lord God, this is indeed wine, not poisonous, and can be drunk."
Lu Yao picked up the pottery cup and took a sip.
The taste is not spicy, the taste is also light, and the alcohol content is lower than beer, which is more like an alcoholic beverage.
It is because the cactus has a poor alcohol tolerance, not because the wine is too strong.
The wine brewed by the Cup of Eternity has a unique sweet taste, which reminds Lu Yao of the well water he drank in his hometown in the mountains when he was a child. Moreover, this wine is very clear, without any impurities, with a light floral and fruity fragrance.
Unconsciously, Lu Yao drank this cup of wine.
He soaked another cup with water and tasted it slowly.
It was not until three cups that Lu Yao felt bloated because he drank too much water in one breath.
He tried it himself and made a rigorous evaluation.
This wine is normal.
It will neither poison people nor make people strong.
It has only one advantage: it tastes good.
Just like happy water.
Lu Yao likes this offering.
He is a person who gives me one foot and I pay you ten feet.
Since the little people in the tribe have offered sacrifices, then this god must also express his gratitude.
Reciprocity is the norm, and a god cannot be too stingy.
Lu Yao thought seriously while drinking sweet wine.
Cigarettes and alcohol are always at home, why not give them some cigarettes?
He immediately dismissed the idea.
Tobacco is not good for the little people at this stage... it is too addictive.
Lu Yao walked around the house with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.
There is something that is quite suitable.
To be safe, Lu Yao immediately searched on the Internet. After reading a lot of interpretations and data from authoritative platforms, he was sure that his thinking was basically correct.
Then he put on socks and shoes, put on a coat and went straight to the vegetable market.
Half an hour later, Lu Yao came back with a bag of fresh edamame. He washed most of the edamame and threw it into the pot, added dried chili peppers, star anise, peppercorns and salt to stew the edamame, and then let Xiaohuo watch it.
The other part was passed into the temple by him.
Soybeans are the strategic-level [Gift] given by Lu Yao after careful consideration.
