Chapter 235: Bow

Li Qing said hurriedly: "The parade team just passed by, there are no rats nearby, we can go out and look for the statue!"

"I'm not going! I want to sleep..." Huangfu Miaomiao turned over and continued to sleep, muttering, "The statue is not that easy to find. After entering the maze, we didn't even see the shadow of the statue."

Li Qing walked from one side of the bed to the other side. "It's not the statue of the game god. It's the statue that every household here worships. This store doesn't have it. Shall we go out and look for it?"

Huangfu Miaomiao sat up angrily, "What on earth do you want to do? I'm just taking a break, and you want me to work! Why don't you go find it yourself?!"

Li Qing explained: "I am an administrator..."

Huangfu Miaomiao became even angrier, "You're an administrator, so what?! Just because you're an administrator you don't have to work?!"

Feng Ling and Ye Zheng both looked over.

Li Qing said awkwardly, "It's not that I don't want to work. I just suspect that these statues may be a mechanism set up in the maze. Guangshan City has always had the traditional custom of worshiping gods and praying for blessings. Worshiping gods may trigger something. The maze is a copy prepared for players. What effect can it have if I, an administrator, worship? Of course you need to worship!"

Huangfu Miaomiao looked at him with suspicion.

Li Qing added, "You don't have to go too far. Can you just go to the next store? There must be a statue of the god in the next store."

Feng Ling said: "Then go and pay your respects."

"Okay..." Huangfu Miaomiao pouted and got off the bed reluctantly.

Seeing this, Xu Yiming opened the shutter door, looked outside, and then made an OK gesture to Huangfu Miaomiao: "Safe."

Several people came out of the store. Li Qing walked in front and opened the door of the clothing store next door first.

He walked into the store and said as he walked, "The names of the statues in the parade all have the suffix 'false god'. The system will not do anything extra. There must be a reason for setting such names. Maybe the system is reminding us to find the real god. According to the local customs of Guangshan City, every statue that receives incense is a window that can convey the will of the gods. Let's worship the gods. Maybe the gods here will guide us to find a safe zone."

The altar came into everyone's sight.

In a corner of the clothing store, there was a solid wooden altar table with an exquisite ceramic fortune cat on it.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment.

Huangfu Miaomiao asked him with a straight face: "Will praying to the lucky cat work?"

Before Li Qing could speak, Feng Ling said cheerfully, "Just give it a try. It won't hurt you anyway."

Xu Yiming said, "I think it can be useful. Look, there is a cushion under the altar. Even if ordinary shops have statues of gods, they don't have cushions. I think the Taoist's guess is right. This cushion is to remind us to worship the gods."

"What a hassle..." Huangfu Miaomiao frowned, trying to restore her lower body to normal human legs, then knelt on the mat and bowed in a pretend manner.

Feng Ling said: "Bow three times with sincerity, otherwise it's the same as not bowing at all."

"Okay, I get it..." Huangfu Miaomiao clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and bowed three times.

Feng Ling looked at it curiously.

After bowing three times quickly, Huangfu Miaomiao stood up and left the cushion.

"Do you feel anything?" Feng Ling asked Huangfu Miaomiao.

Huangfu Miaomiao shook her head, "I don't feel anything."

Everyone was disappointed.

Xu Yiming sighed: "It seems that praying to God is useless..."

"It works." Li Qing stared at Huangfu Miaomiao with burning eyes, "Praying to the gods really works... Miaomiao, look at your status bar, is there an extra buff?"

Huangfu Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately checked her status bar, and found that there was indeed a small golden icon in the status bar. It was the first time she saw the icon of the buff effect since logging into the game.

Huangfu Miaomiao couldn't help but reach out and click the icon, and a pop-up window with information prompt appeared:
[Luck value +2.5 times, effect duration 30 minutes. ]

"Ah! It's true!" Huangfu Miaomiao said in surprise, "My luck value has doubled!"

Feng Ling couldn't see anything, so he asked her, "What's the use of luck?"

Huangfu Miaomiao was very excited and explained, "The luck value can affect the luck of opening a treasure chest! For example, the item in the treasure chest we just dug out is an ordinary iron axe, but if I open the treasure chest with a luck value of 2.5 times, it is very likely that I will get an axe made of better material! For example, a fine steel axe, or an axe with special effects such as paralysis or poison."

Feng Ling understood and felt relieved.

Finally there is progress. At least they know that there are benefits to worshipping the statue and they are no longer in a state of ignorance.

Xu Yiming rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Miao Miao, let me pray too, I want to try it too."

"Okay~" Huangfu Miaomiao moved aside, and Xu Yiming couldn't wait to kneel on the cushion and bow to the gods.

"How is it? Has my luck value changed?" Xu Yiming quickly asked Huangfu Miaomiao.

As a human, without a virtual screen, you cannot view the status bar.

Huangfu Miaomiao frowned and shook her head, "I can't see."

Li Qing could see it and said, "You and Miaomiao have the same luck value, which has increased by 2.5 times."

Xu Yiming smiled and touched the back of his head: "Hehehe..."

The luck value only works when opening a treasure chest. It doesn’t matter whether Xu Yiming’s luck value increases or not. He worships the gods purely for fun.

Ye Zheng couldn't stand Xu Yiming's silly look, and silently curled his lips behind Feng Ling.

Feng Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, "Almost every store on the pedestrian street has a deity for worship. Players go in and out of the maze. Isn't there a player who has worshipped the deity?"

As long as you worship it, you will have a buff effect, so the crow, as the manager of the maze, cannot be unaware of it.

Li Qing said: "This is not surprising. After all, players do not have such beliefs. These statues are probably just decorations in their eyes."

Feng Ling nodded thoughtfully.

In fact, she was the same. Facing all the maze creations here, she had never thought of kneeling down. If you think about it this way, it makes sense that the aliens did not discover this mechanism.

She carefully looked at the lucky cat in front of her and said slowly, "If you can pray for safety by worshipping a god, then there is really no need to set up an additional safe zone in the maze. Taoist priest, if you want to find a safe zone, which god should you worship?"

Li Qing quickly recalled the folklore knowledge he had learned so far, "...City God, or Land God!"

"Then let's go along this street and look for these two gods." Feng Ling turned and went out.

The group left the clothing store and went to the next shop to look for the statue.

When I wasn't looking for the statues, I thought they were everywhere, but when I really started looking for them, I found that there weren't that many of them.

Feng Ling went to three shops in a row and came up empty-handed. The fourth shop had a statue of Guan Gong on display.

Li Qing gently pushed Huangfu Miaomiao: "More courtesy is better than less courtesy. It will definitely not go wrong to bow more."

"I know!" Huangfu Miaomiao slapped his hand away, walked to her knees in front of the altar, and bowed again and again.

Feng Ling turned his head and asked Li Qing: "How is it? What effect did you get this time?"

Good morning!!! I love you guys!!!
