Chapter 23: Achievements and the World Line
Rat tribe’s residence and temple.
Under the high altar, Tuqi knelt on the ground and prayed to the great god he believed in.
"You are the embodiment of chaos! You are the protector of evil!"
"The great master of the abyss—Dorisen!"
"I pray..."
Suddenly, Tuqi seemed to sense something, his expression became sad, and he shed two lines of tears unconsciously.
But the prayer in his mouth only paused for a moment before continuing, "I pray that you will give my clan great power! We will take up arms and fight to spread your great glory..."
"I pray that you will grant our people outstanding wisdom! No difficulty will change our will, and we will fight for you until death!"
After saying that, Tuqi paused, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that fell, and prayed with a trembling voice: "May my child enter your kingdom of God, your humble servant..."
Rumble.
When Tuqi opened the door of the temple and walked out, he had already regained his composure. He ordered the two guards at the door of the temple: "Go and inform Priest Tuqi to shrink the scope of the ceremony, and complete his part of the responsibility as soon as possible and come back to see you."
I."
"In addition, inform the tribe that I will hold a sacrificial ceremony to the great god tomorrow. At that time, my Lord will send blessings so that they can participate on time."
The two guards looked at each other, wondering why the sacrificial ceremony had been brought forward. However, they would not question the high priest's order. They respectfully said yes and went to convey the order.
Watching the two guards leaving, Tuqi's expression was stern with a touch of coldness.
"Crypt Spider..."
............
At this time, Qin Yuan, who had spent a lot of energy, was devouring the meat of the grouper python.
[You have successfully eaten the flesh and blood of the grouper python, and your physical strength has recovered slightly.]
"There is almost no reward for eating these low-level creatures."
Qin Yuan glanced at the prompts flashed by the system and had a deeper understanding of the barrenness of the crypt.
Of course, the barrenness here does not mean that there are few creatures, but that there are very few high-level creatures that can be greatly supplemented. After all, the top of the biological chain here is intelligent races such as rats and kobolds.
But Qin Yuan does not want to eat this kind of intelligent race.
As a qualified Federation "player", Qin Yuan knows the Federation too well.
Since the Federation entered the first year of creation and transformed from a world of pure technology to a world dominated by gods and supplemented by technology, it has been out of control. It has grown and developed over thousands of years and has conquered hundreds of planes or worlds.
, accommodates an unknown number of intelligent races.
However, because of the tolerance, openness and diversity of the Federation, it does not accept those races that eat "human beings", and this human being broadly includes all humanoid creatures.
Not only that, when the Federation invades other planes, these "human"-eating races will also be the key target of the Federation. You can beat people and kill people, but you cannot eat people!
Just like the tiger in ancient times, if the tiger does not eat people, then it is an ordinary wild beast in the forest. But as long as the tiger eats people, then it is a ferocious tiger! It is an evil tiger! It must be eliminated!
One of Qin Yuan's options is to return to the Federation. Naturally, he will not cut off his options just because of a small profit.
Of course, Qin Yuan himself is somewhat resistant to eating such humanoid creatures.
Oh, by the way, one thing that needs to be explained is that although the dragon is not a humanoid creature, it cannot be eaten now. Who allowed a powerful dragon to enter the Supreme Council?
Regardless of whether His essence is human or not, when He made this request as a dragon, the other beings of the Supreme Council had no choice.
But this is only limited to not eating dragon meat, and He doesn't bother to care about other things, so if you need to peel off the skin to make armor, just do it, if you need to bathe in the dragon's blood, just bathe in the dragon's blood, it doesn't matter.
It's like everyone in the Federation is a citizen on the surface, but as long as you stick to the line of not cannibalizing, you can't do anything in private. This is the age of gods after all, and strength is the real truth!
"My strength is still too weak!" Qin Yuan sighed in his heart.
As time goes by, the shadow of the Federation is getting closer and closer, and it is far from time for him to rest.
He doesn't like this dark cave, nor does he like to face life and death fights at any time.
But there is no way, the world is like this, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, as long as he does not reach the point where he can change the rules in one day, he must work hard every day!
"Yes, there will be a day." Qin Yuan firmly believed that he would eventually change his current situation.
He threw away the remaining bones, walked out of his temporary hiding place, identified the direction, and moved forward quickly.
Soon, the familiar sour smell came, and Qin Yuan returned to the crypt of corrupted worms.
He followed the system's prompts to avoid the hiding place of the corrupting worms, and finally paid the price of increasing his [Weak Acid Resistance] several times to successfully pass through the territory of the corrupting worms.
Qin Yuan looked back at the crypt and sighed: "Unfortunately, I have something to do now. I will come to visit you when I have free time in the future."
He marked a treasure chest pattern on the system map and walked toward the passage he used to escape.
"Sure enough, there is no one." Qin Yuan leaned out of the passage and found that the crypt where the battle had been fought was now empty, and even the corpses had been taken away.
This was not what he expected, after all, he discovered the truce between the two sides when he escaped.
Qin Yuan walked out of the passage, followed the traces to the entrance of the passage where the rat men evacuated, and carefully explored inside.
This action was not reckless, but was carefully considered by Qin Yuan.
The first and most important reason is the activation of the [Achievements] function.
The [Achievement] function is different from those in ancient computer games. It is not the kind that gives you a reward for killing one monster, then kills ten monsters, or a hundred monsters, or you need to get something, and rewards you according to the number of points, etc.
Waiting for these fancy features.
To be more precise, the [achievement] functions of "players" like Qin Yuan who invade other worlds are different from those.
It does not refer to an individual, but to the Federation. Specifically, it refers to the contribution you made when the Federation invaded the world, and how much help you played in the Federation's invasion of the world itself.
It is easy to invade a world, but it is not easy to truly control that world. It is not just your brain that digitizes the world and the world belongs to you.
If it were that simple, there would be no need for players like Qin Yuan.
There are many deep-seated reasons and purposes in this, and Qin Yuan doesn't know much until he reaches that level.
He only knows that the mission of their players is to expand their influence in this world and disrupt the world line of the world itself.
The development of the world itself is regular, and the life of all things has already been arranged in a certain trajectory. However, this trajectory is not static, which is why prophecy can predict what will happen in the future.
However, the bigger the change, the more difficult it is. If you compare a person's trajectory to a thread, then it will be much easier if you just want to change this person, but if you want to change the fate of a city, it will cost tens of thousands or dozens of dollars.
Thousands of threads are entangled and tied together, and it is extremely difficult to change.
It's like you predict that a meteorite capable of destroying the city will fall on a city tomorrow, but unless you have the power of the gods, it will be difficult for you to make a difference.
The lines represented by each person have different thicknesses according to their status, strength, status, etc. All the lines of different sizes and thicknesses are crisscrossed and intertwined, forming a giant network. This is the composition of the world.
The purpose of the federal players is to squeeze the thread they represent into this giant network, so that this thread can entangle and disrupt other threads, thereby becoming thicker and larger, and becoming an indispensable part of this network. Then their mission is completed.
.
Depending on the different impacts caused by your thread growing larger, you will obtain different [achievements].
Now Qin Yuan wants to try to change the network that represents the endless crypt and obtain the [Achievement] reward.
And the method he chose is the simplest and crudest way for players to change the world line - kill!
Who to kill? Of course the rat killer, not the kobold.
Apart from anything else, although kobolds are more powerful than rat-men, the rat-men who believe in the evil god are tied to the evil god, and their combined influence is far beyond that of kobolds.
Unless there are legendary kobolds in the kobold tribe, but this is obviously impossible.
Moreover, he first killed a rat man priest, and then killed a kobold war fanatic believer who was obviously of high status. He had obviously formed a deadly feud with this rat man tribe.
In addition, he is also greedy for the fanatic believers of the rat people. With so many reasons, it is impossible not to kill him.
This time I happened to take advantage of the traces of the rat warriors' retreat to find out their lair.
