God Simulator

In a simple hut outside Yancheng, Buma sat on the ground.

At the other end of the tribal chess, there was a human-shaped holy wish [Chess King] condensed from armor. It was holding its hands across its chest, and the non-existent eyes in the helmet stared at the sheepskin chessboard, thinking hard.

For a long time.

"... I lost again, I lost again."

The chess king's iron fist hit the mud ground with an unwilling fist mark.

Buma comforted: "You are already very good to have persisted until now, you will definitely win next time."

"..."

The chess king turned around and sat cross-legged facing the wall, setting up the chess game by himself, and entered the replay mode.

Buma was not surprised by this.

Although he was called the chess king and his ability was [World is like chess], the chess king's level in tribal chess has never been high.

The reason is that he never uses his ability in a real chess game.

In the words of the chess king.

"Clan War Chess is a fair contest, with both players relying on limited chess pieces and brains to fight evenly matched. This is its charm and classicism."

"Using special abilities to cheat is a blasphemy and defilement of war chess, and I disdain it."

"The world is like chess, and there is no regret after making a move. The main point is fairness!"

In addition to the chess king's own personality, there are actually other reasons.

The growth of the ability of [The World is Like Chess] depends on playing chess.

This ability is more like a kind of entity of the chess king. Facing a chess player weaker than himself, the chess king can't get any growth at all. After five games, he can judge the opponent's level by winning or losing.

One game is not won: a rookie.

More losses than wins: mediocre.

Slightly better: a strong player.

Comprehensive crushing: a master.

At least in the tribal war chess, Buma is like a mountain to the chess king, which has been difficult to climb so far.

This is also the key to the contract between the chess king and Buma. It is eager to further hone the chess skills from Buma and evolve [The World is Like Chess].

In addition to Buma, the chess king has also come into contact with other masters. However, those masters are not as pure and humble as Buma, and being pleasing to the eye is also a very important selection criterion.

After getting rid of the chess king, Buma turned over a stack of papers.

On the paper were sketches of many cultural relics and antiques he had seen in the museum today.

Whether he mastered woodworking or painting, they were all for the service of war chess.

Buma's ancestors were weavers, but after coming to him, they became addicted to tribal war chess.

This classic Yao national game was created by the great inventor Mu Ke. So far, many versions of maps, rules and chess sets have evolved. Every few years, new versions and supplementary packs appear in various stores.

The young Buma was addicted, but he had no money to buy the endless new products. He learned to make them himself with wood, and later he became a carpenter apprentice with the help of these years of foundation.

So he practiced sketching and carving techniques diligently since he was a child. Although both painting and woodworking are wild, his proficiency is not bad.

Looking at the sketch on the paper, Buma suddenly had an idea: "Chess King, Chess King, what do you think? If I make those ancient artifacts in the museum into small wooden sculptures that can be held in one hand... just like the characters and chess pieces in the tribal war chess, do you think everyone will buy them?"

"... No, no, we have to fight in a group here, and the single-line advantage is not big enough."

"If you can't break through the defense line, the best way is to control neutral resources... Make strategic deployment around resources first."

Chess King muttered to himself, completely immersed in the review.

"That's right, that's right! That's it!"

"This will break the tug-of-war! I understand, I understand!"

The Chess King's armor laughed strangely.

"As long as this is the case, I will definitely be able to complete the counterattack..."

Looking at its state of obsession, Buma decided to think about it himself.

He took out the carving knife and file, found a piece of pine wood, drew lines on it with a feather pen, and then started to work.

As the debris and wood ash continued to fall off, the fist-sized wood gradually changed its appearance.

The wood carving is of a wild man in leather, with hard hair covering the whole person. There is only a sunken hole in the animal skin where the head should be, which looks a bit gloomy.

Buma used black smoke ink to dye most of the wood carving black, and then painted red eyes in the sunken part of the head, just like the relevant historical records.

Then apply a uniform layer of transparent resin to ensure that the color will not fall off, while retaining the original texture of the wood carving.

After waiting.

The wooden statue of the ancient demon god Jack is restored!

Buma holds the wood carving in his hand and likes it more and more.

If you want to say the most popular place in the museum, it must be the Old God Exhibition Room.

The exhibition room displays the residual statues of the old gods. These are the enemies wiped out by Yao Shen. Archaeologists restored them with stone and clay to complete the statues.

Gods are symbols of mystery and power. People always want to get closer to gods. Yao Shen is too distant and dazzling, so everyone focuses on the fallen old gods. Discussing and teasing the old gods are all topics that everyone enjoys talking about.

If you only need to spend a little money to buy an old god and put it at home, and play with it however you want, would you be willing?

Buma thinks it is feasible.

There is just one question that needs to be confirmed.

"Chess King, Chess King, listen to me, answer me a question, and I will play with you again."

Hearing that there is a chance to fight again, the chess king who was sitting cross-legged on the ground turned around quickly like a spinning top: "Speak."

"If I sell this kind of old sacred wood statue in Yancheng, will I be arrested for blasphemy?"

Looking at the wooden statue of Jack in Bulma's hand, the chess king said: "No."

As the shadow guard of the temple and the temple warrior who follows the apostle, the Chess King's loyalty and piety to the gods are unquestionable, and its judgment is also crucial to Bulma.

It said: "In the oracles of Lord Yao, he has always acknowledged the existence of other gods and the roles played by other gods in different civilizations and histories. In the outside world, there are ghost gods and bamboo reeds who maintain cooperative relations with the Yao people. king."

"The old gods displayed in the museum were once participants in the world's historical process. It is impossible to talk about the Yao people without talking about these old gods. Even in theology, there are scholars who specialize in studying the old gods. The temple association praises and Encourage."

When talking about gods, the chess king becomes serious and solemn.

Bulma only understood a little bit.

You can start a small business with old sacred statues!

The next day, Bulma set up a stall outside the city and put out three wooden sculptures of God Jack.

Before he started shouting, a soldier came over to question him.

"What do you look like?"

"Jack God."

"Devil Jack? It's actually the statue of the evil god!" The soldier's eyes suddenly changed.

"..." Bulma's heart tightened.

The soldier picked up the wood carving, looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "How much does this restoration cost?"

"...60 seashells per piece."

"I want it."

After paying, the soldier put away the old statue with a smile on his face: "Do you have any others? Like the three-limbed god, or the mandrill god? I prefer the wilder ones."

"There will be more in the future."

"Please make more. I want one of these two. Can you get the goods tomorrow?"

The business of old god wood carvings is surprisingly good.

Although people who like to collect old idols belong to a niche group, many of these people are willing to spend money. Most of them are scholars, soldiers and businessmen, and most of them are young people.

Next, Buma successively launched the Nine Old Gods series including Jack God, Qi God, Ming God, Yang Wu God, Bone Li God, Ripe God, Trilimbed God, Xiang God, and Mandrill God.

Then, he began to think about whether the system of the Old Gods could be added to the tribal war chess.

As a loyal supporter and veteran player of war chess, Buma has been playing it since he was a child and has seen many new versions on the market.

No matter how it is modified, tribal war chess is always based on the two elements of [tribe] and [war].

This war chess game designed by the great inventor Mu Ke is based on the ancient pre-Yao period, when the Yao people were still a garlic tribe.

But after going through the extraordinary era and the age of fire and steam, the tribal system has long been a footnote in history, and it should be in line with the current background of the popularity of extraordinary powers.

Buma has thought about this problem since he was a child. Can a real version of the game be made to integrate the tribal war chess into the contemporary era?

He conducted repeated deductions with the chess king.

[Everything is like chess] played a crucial role in this attempt.

After two and a half years, Bulma and the chess king worked together to create a new version of the classic "Tribal War Chess" that had never been seen before, "Tribal War Chess: Seal of the Old Gods".

In the new version, elements of the nine old gods will be added.

Each hero chess piece held by the player can use luck or treasure to open the seal of the old god and obtain the props left by the old god.

The old magic items come with special abilities, including resurrecting dead heroes back to the chessboard, making heroes invisible for a short round, being able to complete fixed-point teleportation on a large map, etc.

If you can make reasonable use of the old magic props, you can achieve a shocking comeback even in extremely unfavorable situations. This system gives war chess more uncertainty and greatly enriches the tactical system.

The chess king was ecstatic: "Okay, okay, this is my version!"

After a short period of fun, it was played on the chessboard again by Bulma, which made it face the wall and think about it.

Buma used [Everything is Like Chess] and repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem before officially selling it through a stall.

Initially, most people bought the new version of the war chess to collect the idol chess pieces of the Nine Old Gods. But soon, chess players realized that this major revision was completely different from the past, and it quickly became popular in Yancheng.

Even the inventor of tribal war chess, the great inventor Mu Ke, came all the way from the ghost city of Saniro to discuss matters related to this version with Buma, and gave him high praise and praise.

With Mu Ke's vigorous promotion and public appearance, this generation of tribal war chess has been vigorously promoted in the city and officially named [tribal war chess 2].

Buma, who has gained both fame and fortune, feels that everything is like a dream.

He has a big house in Yancheng, a garden with roses, and a lot of money. He no longer has to worry about eating and drinking. Now he found that what he loved most was still playing chess and carving chess pieces.

One day, Mu Ke was carving a cannon carriage. The chess king next to him suddenly stood up and looked at the sky.

"[Burning Man] sent a signal for help."

The chess king said: "A high-level sixty-year-old beast hunted a herd of Dulu beasts, causing the beasts to flee and destroy a village, killing two villagers. If we don't disperse and gather them, the two villages behind will not be spared."

Bulma put down the wood and carving knife: "Then go help."

This was Bulma's first time participating in the true duties of a Templar.

He and the chess king quickly arrived at the front line.

[Pyro Man] is a tall knight wearing heavy red armor, with a long and strong flame floating on his head, like some kind of long red hair.

Its contractor was an armor-bearer, but the skin in the warrior's armor was as black as ink, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but it gave Bulma a heavy sense of oppression.

Black skin, armored warrior, the aura of a powerful and extraordinary person...

Bulma asked tentatively: "Mr. Prophet Black Forge?"

The Black Demon Heijing nodded to him: "I heard Mr. Long Ji talk about you, but I didn't expect that you are so young and are really formidable."

[Pyro Man] exhaled a puff of black smoke and said impatiently: "There is no time for small talk. If the beasts in front are not stopped, all nearby villages will be destroyed. It is difficult to judge their running direction, and the sixty-year-old beast stopped. The frightened one-furnace beast is still going crazy."

The biggest problem in this crisis is that the attack of the sixty-year-old beasts caused panic and confusion among the single-furnace beasts. These powerful copper beasts are like shards of glass shattered by a hammer, flying everywhere, which is a disaster for ordinary people.

Bulma's eyes gradually became dull and dazed.

He felt as if he had leapt to heaven, overlooking every move of the many lives on the ground.

Full view unfolds.

After a moment, Bulma's body swayed slightly.

He said: "Mr. Black Forge, please go to the bushes on the east side to stop the beasts first, and don't let them cross the grass area. Chess King, you go to the rocky area to the north to attack the sixty-year-old beast, hold it back, and preferably force it to move to the west. …”

"If the herd is blocked in the southeast direction, it will eventually form a roundabout escape behind the sixty-year-old beasts, thus changing the direction of escape and returning to their familiar area."

Blackforge said, "Do as he says, Pyro."

The Flame Knight then quickly rushed to the east.

The chess king also immediately launched an attack on the sixty-year-old beast.

The entire battle situation was just as Buma had described in advance. The beasts began to turn, detour, and escape. The sixty-year-old beast was driven to the preset position by the chess king.

Heimao looked at the young man, somewhat surprised: "[The world is like a chess]'s judgment and deduction... are really amazing abilities."

"No wonder the chess king chose you as a contractor. You do have a unique talent."

Bulma was a little exhausted at this time and forced a smile.

Just when he felt sleepy and tired, he suddenly felt that his body was surrounded by some vast and warm power.

Bulma's tired body quickly regained its energy and vitality, which surprised and delighted him.

"Why don't you hurry up and thank Lord Yao Shen?"

Black Forging reminded: "This is the recognition and strength given by the gods."

God...Yao!

Buma quickly knelt on the ground and looked up at the sky: "Thank you so much for your blessing and gift. Lord Yao, thank you for allowing ordinary people like me to have power that I can't even imagine..."

He said piously: "I will continue to study chess, cooperate well with the chess king, fulfill the mission of the Holy God given by you, and complete the duties of the temple warrior."
